When the horses came to the crowd, the man on horseback took out an official document: "The prefect has an order that the suspect surnamed Qi and the people under his command should be temporarily guarded and detained by the prison department."

Please ask Lord Li and Vice President Liu to go to the prefect's yamen as soon as possible, there must be no mistake, the officers and soldiers of the city guard camp will return to the camp immediately, and the police station will be disbanded immediately. ”

After reading the official document, the errand officer looked at the situation at the scene, couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and after finishing the matter, he bowed to the two on horseback: "Two lords, please, the prefect is waiting for you two in the yamen of the palace." ”

Seeing that Huang Baishan came forward, and it was an order issued with an official document, Liu Hua pondered for a moment, considering that Huang Baishan was the disciple of the fourth Prince of Ageyong, so Liu Hua did not hesitate to carry out the order.

Li Jianling saw the current situation and knew that he couldn't take Qi Qi away now, he knew Huang Baishan's fourth elder brother, thinking that the fourth elder brother respected the prince very much on weekdays, and felt that there should be no problem in placing Qi Qi in Huang Baishan's hands, so after a little hesitation, he also carried out the order.

"Pop ......" In the room where Huang Baishan worked, Huang Baishan, who was angry, had just broken a teacup, and he looked at Li Jianling in front of him: "Li Tongzhi, you are so majestic."

On the premise that you did not have a warrant from the government, you privately dispatched the officers and soldiers of the city guard camp and ordered the army to pull out weapons and rob people, where did you get the guts? The weapons in the hands of the soldiers are pointed at the enemy, not at their own robes, can you Li Jianling want to rebel?

Because this government is about to step down, so when managing the government affairs on weekdays, there are many slackness, and I pretend not to know about some small actions of you, but I didn't expect that you are getting bolder and bolder, and you are actually robbing people in broad daylight, do you think this Yangzhou Mansion is your world?

Okay, well, since you don't put this mansion in your eyes, then this mansion doesn't need to talk about the love of robes and the friendship of colleagues, this mansion will write to the court and relieve you of your position as a fellow governor of Yangzhou, and the old man will also step down early, let's go home together to retire. ”

After hearing this, Li Jianling couldn't help but complain in his heart: "This old guy is really bad, he is in his sixties, and he should have stepped down and gone home to care for the elderly, but I am only in my forties, who is the old man who went home to raise him?" ”

Spit and complain, but Li Jianling knows that as the prefect of Yangzhou Mansion, if Huang Baishan tries to write to the court to impeach himself at the cost of leaving office early, maybe it is really possible to damage his career, although he is the prince's person, but the other party also has a backstage.

Thinking of this, Li Jianling got up and put on an attitude of humility and respect, and admitted his mistake to Huang Baishan: "The lesson of Lord Futai is that the lower official knows that he is wrong, and the lower official is willing to bear the consequences of this incident, I promise that something similar will never happen again, and I ask Lord Futai to bear more." ”

Seeing that Li Jianling put his posture very low and admitted his mistake in a low voice, Huang Baishan calmed down his emotions and didn't say anything, Li Jianling's grade was only half a level lower than him, and he was the prince's person, so Huang Baishan just wanted to knock and knock him, and didn't want to make too much trouble with the other party.

After reprimanding Li Jianling a few more words, Huang Baishan asked him to go back and think about the past behind closed doors, after seeing Li Jianling leave, Huang Baishan didn't have time to sit down, he saw Liu Hua walking up to him with two teacups with a smile: "Lord Prefect, take a look, did you drop this teacup first?" Or do you fall the other first? ”

After Liu Hua handed over the two teacups, Huang Baishan's accumulated anger immediately dispersed, and he glanced at Liu Hua helplessly, Huang Baishan said earnestly: "Liu Hua, you have been favored by the saint at a young age, as long as you cherish it, you will definitely be able to get ahead in the future, but you are too sharp, if you continue like this, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."

Just like this time, you actually ordered your catchers to confront the officers and soldiers of the city protection battalion, have you thought about the consequences? If there are dead or wounded, how do you deal with the aftermath? After all, Li Jianling is your superior, and his official rank is eight levels higher than yours. ”

"Thank you Lord Futai for your advice, but I have a last resort, who asked Master Li to rob me of people, he couldn't rob me, so he recruited officers and soldiers to press me, I belong to passive defense." Liu Hua defended himself.

"Passive defense? Are there any people with a team with weapons to defend? The equipment of your subordinates is better than that of the regular army, and there are several masters, if you really want to fight, you can't tell who will defend against whom? After complaining a few words, Huang Baishan couldn't help but ask: "I said Liu Hua, why do you have to rob that second son of Qi?" ”

Hearing Huang Baishan's question, Liu Hua pondered for a moment: "Lord Futai, I was recommended by Lord Nian, and I belong to the same camp as you, so I will be blunt with you, if something is wrong, please bear with me."

Based on the recent movements of the imperial court, I feel that the imperial court is about to make a big move, and Qi Shiwu, the secretary of the criminal department, is very willing to suffer. When I was investigating the case, I accidentally got a clue that Qi Shangshu had been collecting money in various places in the name of business all these years, and this second son of Qi was the behind-the-scenes boss in charge of those industries.

Not to mention, just talking about our Yangzhou Mansion, the most profitable Treasure Pavilion and Jiefang Building are all the properties of the Qi family, I want to follow the vine and touch the melon, and use this second son of Qi as a clue to help the saint remove this cancer.

But after Lord Li learned the identity of the second son of Qi, he didn't know why? resolutely refused to let the lowly position take people away, and even dispatched the officers and soldiers of the city guard battalion to rob people, right? Does this second son of Qi have a secret that is unfavorable to Lord Li? ”

Liu Hua didn't dare to say that the prince was about to be deposed, he was worried that Huang Baishan would not be able to accept this result, so he deliberately half-truthed what he said, pointing the finger at Li Jianling, Li Jianling is the prince's person, pointing at him is equivalent to indirectly pointing at the prince.

After listening to Liu Hua's words, Huang Baishan fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said to Liu Hua: "This matter is very involved, I will repair a book, you personally go to Beijing, and send the letter to the fourth master by hand, and by the way, bring this second son of Qi with you, and let the fourth master deal with this person." ”

In the mansion of Qi Shiwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department in the capital, Qi Shiwu, who had just returned from the palace, was shocked when he learned that his second son had taken more than 100 people from the Criminal Department to Yangzhou.

Qi Shiwu hurriedly called his eldest son Qi Ming, and asked him to personally take someone to Yangzhou and quickly bring Qi Ji home, when Qi Ming went out, Qi Shiwu sat on the chair with a sad face, and secretly prayed in his heart: "I hope the second child has not messed up?" Otherwise, if I attract the attention of the saints, then my Qi family will be doomed. ”
