Ji Nan glanced at the scratches on his face, looked at the dart in his hand, and after looking at it for a while, he comforted him: "Lord Zhen, there is no poison." The implication is that there is no need to panic about skin trauma.

"It can scratch the old man's face!" Zhen Shiyuan glared at him angrily, pointed at him, and his fingers trembled a little under the excitement.

Such an angry reaction made Ji Nan silent, and after solemnly looking at Zhen Shiyuan's face for a moment, he said, "Actually, it's nothing, Lord Zhen." ”

It's not a unique face in the world, and it's a pity to have a bump or something.

Zhen Shiyuan moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only flicked his sleeves hatefully, covering his wound and turning his face away.

After the politeness, Ji Nan didn't care about him anymore, but walked out of the carriage.

This carriage belonged to the Ministry of Punishment, and the sign of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment was also marked on it, and under the condition that the logo was so obvious, the other party shot a dart, obviously coming towards the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

In front of the carriage, he had already been surrounded by officials from the Yamen of the Criminal Department at this time, and Zhou Liang, who had drawn the saber at his waist, shouted: "Who are you waiting for? How dare you obstruct the Criminal Department from handling the case? ”

The "bandits" who were a hundred paces away not far away did not leave, but only spoke up at this time: "How many lives have been stained under the heavy punishment of the yamen of the Criminal Department? How much better are you to be an official than a bandit like us? ”

Zhen Shiyuan, who was covering his face, secretly poked his head out and looked over, and asked Ji Nan in a low voice: "Have you ever resisted the punishment and lost your life recently?" Maybe it was the relatives who lost their lives who came to take revenge? ”

These words made Ji Nan and Zhou Liang at the forefront look back at her, and after glancing at Zhou Liang, Ji Nan said: "There are such people every day, you ask me, how do I know which one?" ”

When a person enters the yamen of the Criminal Department, it is equivalent to being abolished, isn't this something that the whole of Chang'an City knows? After staying in the criminal department for many years, he has long been used to it.

However, it was the first time that relatives and family members came to take revenge, especially in Chang'an City, and it was the first time that they were so close to the Criminal Department.

Zhen Shiyuan let out an "oh", retracted into the carriage, and said, "That has nothing to do with me." After that, he didn't forget to raise his voice and shout at the two people who blocked the way, "I'm not from the Criminal Department, I'm the only one in it." ”

Such an eager desire for business made Ji Nan silent, turned his head to look at the two people blocking the road, and asked, "What do you two want?" ”

What is it? One of them threw out a long rolled cloth from behind him, and he held it up and shook his hand, and the white cloth unfolded in large blood-colored characters.

At this time, there are not many people on the road to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, after all, among the many yamen in the capital, there are many well-known doors in front of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and often a day and a half do not see a person other than the Criminal Department entering and leaving.

However, at this time, the carriage had not yet walked on the official road in front of the yamen of the Criminal Department, and although there were not many people, there were also passers-by.

At this time, several passers-by and two hawkers who were carrying burdens were originally going here, but when they saw the officials flashing their weapons, they were immediately shocked, and they no longer dared to move forward, but stood there from a distance, looking here in amazement.

With the white cloth as the base, the blood-colored characters don't know if it's real blood, or if it's just a cinnabar drawing. However, it is indeed a bit shocking to watch.

"What's written on it?" A hawker couldn't help but ask.

Although Chang'an City is prosperous and full of powerful and wealthy households, not everyone is powerful and rich, and no matter how prosperous Chang'an City is, there are poor people who are struggling to survive just for a mouthful of food.

Such hawkers and traders who carry such burdens clearly belong to such a group of people.

Even eating enough is a problem, so what opportunity is there to read and write? So, most of them are illiterate ordinary people.

A literate passer-by read it: "It reads: 'The criminal department is severely punished, and human life is not tolerated'"

The concise sentence was not a flowery rhetoric or deafening, but it made everyone understand in an instant the reason why the two people riding black horses appeared here and stopped the carriage of the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

"It's really more interesting than what is sung in the play!" Zhen Shiyuan, who had just retracted his head, couldn't help but stick out his head again, looked at the blood book spread on the ground, sighed, and suddenly regretted it.

I knew that it was so exciting to follow this way, so I would bring that girl here.

Thinking like this, Ji Nan over there spoke up: "Since it is said that my criminal department carelessly cares about people's lives, why don't you ask Your Excellency to tell the identity of that person, whether it is really careless about people's lives or whether they deserve it, you will know after checking." ”

Zhen Shiyuan covered his bruised face and looked at the people in Zhengxing, and he couldn't help but hear Ji Nan in front of him click on his name.

"In the carriage behind me is Lord Zhen Shiyuan Zhen of Dali Temple, if you are wronged, you can just say to him." Ji Nan said and looked at Zhen Shiyuan.

"Your uncle!" Zhen Shiyuan scolded secretly, knowing that this kind of person who is one and a half heads taller than him is not a good person, and he did not forget to pull him into the water at this time.

But now is not the time to quarrel, Zhen Shiyuan, who was inexplicably pulled into the water, can no longer nest in the carriage and pretend to be dead, so he has to get out of the carriage. He walked to Ji Nan's side, stroked his beard, coughed and said: "What Master Ji said is right, if you are wronged, you might as well talk to this official to hear it, if there is really a problem, we can re-investigate the case!" ”

"This is my business with the Criminal Department, and it has nothing to do with Dali Temple!" As soon as the man raised his hand, a dart flew again, Zhen Shiyuan's frightened face changed suddenly, and he instinctively covered the wound and flashed to the side, this flash, his feet did not stand firmly, Ji Nan, who was originally standing on one side, didn't know when he walked to the front, no one reached out to pull him, and no one could pad his back, so Zhen Shiyuan fell firmly.

Oh his old waist! Zhen Shiyuan let out a painful "hiss", holding his waist and about to open his mouth to complain, but several officials of the Criminal Department who were originally standing in front of him had already rushed forward with knives.

The two righteous men were obviously not ordinary people, and they jumped up from their horses and rushed towards them, shouting and shouting and weapons mixed with the debris of the stone slabs on the ground flying in a mess.

The blood-dripping weapon just swept past him, and the sword was gone, and the best way at this time was to find a safe place to watch the play, such as the place where a few hawkers and passers-by were squatting not far away, and at this time a few people were eating the spiced broad beans sold by the merchant and watched happily.

"That adult is so dangerous!" A passer-by seemed to be stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he excitedly pointed to Zhen Shiyuan, who was lying on the ground struggling to survive in the shadow of the sword and sword, "It's so pitiful!" It's not from the Criminal Department, can you let him go and fight again! ”

Zhen Shiyuan, who was named "so pitiful", stiffened, and at this moment, another blood-dripping scimitar swept past his face, God knows, the tip of the knife was pointed at the tip of his nose!

For the first time in his life, he sat in the carriage of the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and he actually encountered such a worry. Zhen Shiyuan shrank and lay on the ground and sighed. It's impossible to get up, I just hope that they will watch the fight when they fight, and don't step on him.

"Look at the official robe seems to be from Dali Temple," a passer-by with a little insight saw Zhen Shiyuan lying on the ground, and pointed, "Looking at the age, I don't know which seat it is." ”

These words reminded Zhen Shiyuan, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his face: Don't be recognized when you are so embarrassed. After all, the dignified Dali Siqing was lying on the ground, which was also embarrassing.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, so he covered his face and then said with a clever voice: "It seems to be Dali Siqing, what is it called Lord Zhen." I came early, but I just listened to the big and tall master of the criminal department. ”

"Really?" As soon as I heard that it was Dali Siqing lying on the ground, a group of passers-by who watched the play stretched their necks to look here.

"It turns out that Dali Temple looks like this!"

"I'll see!"

……

It's like watching a monkey! Zhen Shiyuan's face was extremely ugly, and he scolded secretly: Your uncle, Ji Nan! When did he have such a faceless face?

Zhen Shiyuan sighed and closed his eyes: I don't know when this ordeal will end, and when the people from the Criminal Department will be able to catch those two "righteous men in the rivers and lakes".

Why are the officials of the Criminal Department so bad?

The sound of swords and shouts in his ears was mixed with one or two horses' hooves, and from time to time the dust that was brought up fell on his face, Zhen Shiyuan tightened his face and waited for it to end.

Finally, I don't know how long later, the sound of fighting in my ears gradually became smaller, and Ji Nan's voice finally sounded.

"Lord Zhen." He walked up to Zhen Shiyuan and said, "You can get up." ”

Zhen Shiyuan sat up from the ground, and even shook off the ashes, he didn't care about wiping his face, but looked at Ji Nan with such a gray face, and said coldly: "Master Ji, I don't know how many times Zhen has walked the road from Dali Temple to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and today's experience is really unforgettable!" ”

Ji Nan wiped the blood beads on his face and replied unceremoniously: "It's strange to say, Ji has never encountered such a thing in more than ten years on this road, but today I encountered this one as soon as I brought Lord Zhen here." ”

Are you embarrassed to question him in turn? Zhen Shiyuan's face sank, and he said angrily: "The surname is Ji, you and I know what is going on today, is it not the trouble caused by your criminal department, or the trouble of my Dali Temple?" ”

The dignified Dali Siqing was forced to lie on the ground and ate a mouthful of ashes, the key is to be recognized, he can't believe that tomorrow, oh, no, no need for tomorrow, with the level of the big mouth of the people of Chang'an, it is estimated that it will be spread throughout the city tonight.

Where is this called his dignified Dali Siqing's face?

Today's incident can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and he Zhen Shiyuan is just not very "lucky" and was implicated.

Ji Nan naturally knew this, he accepted it when he saw it, and stretched out his hand to Zhen Shiyuan and said, "My lord, get up and talk first!" Now that I have lost the murderer, I don't know how to explain to Your Majesty when I turn around......"

"The murderer is lost?" Zhen Shiyuan was startled by these words, and he didn't need Ji Nan's help, so he got up, and then looked around, and saw that the prisoner cart brought out of the yamen of Dali Temple had broken a big hole, and Zhao Minsheng and Wang Linhan, who were originally locked in it, were gone.

He was too busy to take care of himself, so naturally he didn't pay attention to the movement here. Isn't it the trouble of the Yamen of the Punishment Department? How did you kidnap those two?

"Not bad." When Ji Nan talked about this, his face was a little more serious, "Those two gangsters who blocked the way are very powerful......

"If it's a rabble, how dare you stop the car of your two martial champions?" Zhen Shiyuan replied angrily, watching Zhou Liang, who was also splashed with a lot of blood foam, riding back on a horse.

Whether it is Ji Nan or Zhou Liangke, they are both from Wu Zhuangyuan, speaking of which, among the several yamen in the capital, in addition to the military department, only the officials of the criminal department are the most skilled.

After all, it is impossible for the Criminal Department to do such a thing without attracting retaliation.

"In broad daylight, this place is less than a hundred steps away from the official road of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and this place dares to stop people, I don't understand, what are the patrol officers of the Chang'an Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division doing?" Zhen Shiyuan frowned and looked around.

Except for a few hawkers and passers-by who watched the play, they didn't see the shadow of half of the officials.

"Chang'an City is so big, and this place belongs to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, so it's not surprising that the patrol officer doesn't go here." Ji Nan didn't have any dissatisfaction with this, but just asked Zhou Liang, who turned over and dismounted, and said, "People didn't catch up?" ”

Zhou Liang shook his head, a pair of sword eyebrows furrowed deeply, and said: "I walked to the corner of the street and hugged a lot of people, and when I inquired, it seemed that I said what kind of temple fair it was today, I looked around and didn't find anyone, for fear of causing panic among the people, so I just asked people to stare there, so I came back first." ”

"Temple fair...... It's not clear. Ji Nan shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I haven't paid attention to them. ”

"I don't know, but before going out today, my wife went out with dried fruits and snacks or something, so I just want to come." Zhen Shiyuan wiped the dust on his face with his sleeve and said, "Instead of thinking about the temple fair, let's think about what to do now?" ”

"The murderer has been picked up from Dali Temple, and the fault of this matter is naturally not in Dali Temple, Lord Zhen doesn't have to worry." Ji Nan said, his expression was dark, and he said coldly, "My criminal department will take on this matter, dare to do it in front of the yamen of the criminal department, really my criminal department is a vegetarian?" ”

"It doesn't matter to me whether you're a vegetarian or a meat eater." Zhen Shiyuan's focus was obviously not here, he turned his hand to the prisoner cart with a big hole, and said, "My prisoner cart in Dali Temple was made like this, can it still be used?" Your criminal department won't give me an explanation for this matter today, I'm going to visit Zhou Dong in person. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Liang only felt a choke in his throat: looking at his serious appearance, he thought it was a big deal, it turned out to be for a prisoner car, what is this? He can afford a prisoner car, let alone Ji Nan.

It's just that I don't know if I feel sorry for the money or if I haven't come back to my senses, Ji Nan seems to hesitate for a while before responding.

When Zhen Shiyuan heard this, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left: "No need to send it, just go back and get a prisoner car and send it directly to Dali Temple, you can't sit in the carriage of the Criminal Department, it's better to walk back!" ”

The situation was so chaotic, among the so many carriages and horses present, only the prisoner car of his Dali Temple was destroyed, and the rest, except for the first carriage that was hit by a dart, were unharmed, as if the brawl had long eyes. Well, it's like when he falls to the ground, and those swords are like they have long eyes, and they can deftly avoid him.

What a coincidence! Zhen Shiyuan's face sank.
