The Yamen of the Criminal Department.

Chen Letian held the general's letter and came to the case of Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Lin Chaoran, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, is not very old, about thirty-five years old, and is the youngest of the six Shangshu, and the person he admires the most in his life is Li Rongsheng, the Marquis of Dingnan.

Seeing Li Rongsheng's handwritten letter, Lin Chaoran stood straight and carefully read the letter word by word. I read the evidence materials handed over by Chen Letian again.

The White Tiger Gang collaborated with the enemy, and Guo Yongchun, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, stole and harbored the people's daughters and wantonly killed people.

Two very simple things, but it involves a high-ranking official like the servant of the ministry, so Lin Chaoran needs to be particularly careful to deal with it.

Lin Chaoran said: "Since Brother Chen is the henchman of the general, then I will say it directly." The White Tiger Gang's collaboration with the enemy is easy to do, and it can be eliminated. But judging from the materials, Guo Yongchun probably didn't know about it, and it was not a big deal to harbor the wanton killing of people's daughters. The general asked me to listen to your opinion, I don't know what advice Brother Chen has?"

Chen Letian arched his hand and said: "Even if Guo Yongchun doesn't know, he is guilty, and his subordinates collaborate with the enemy, but they don't know it." I mean... It's to pull down Guo Yongchun!"

Lin Chaoran looked at Chen Letian and asked with a smile: "Brother Chen has a grudge against Guo Yongchun?"

Chen Letian shook his head and said: "No, I just saw with my own eyes that the White Tiger Gang insulted and killed the Zhou patriarch's family in order to buy the land of Zhouzhuang, and I was indignant." ”

Lin Chaoran laughed, and his burly body trembled like a thousand-year-old tree in the wind and rain. He clapped his hands and said, "Okay! I don't know if Brother Chen wants Guo Yongchun to die or live?"

Chen Letian lowered his head and thought for a while: "I don't need him to die, I want him to never turn over." ”

On the second day, Shang Shulin Chaoran of the Criminal Department entered the palace with a pile of materials to see His Majesty.

"Guo Yongchun, the servant of the ministry, stole and harbored the people's daughter, and wantonly tortured and killed the maidservant girl at home and the servant girl brother who came to find him. ”

"Zhao Hu, the brother of Guo Yongchun's concubine, is the leader of the White Tiger Gang, and Wu Fang, the military advisor of the White Tiger Gang, is a spy of the Wei State, and Zhao Hu has now been rebelled by Wu Fang. ”

The young emperor sitting behind the desk listened, put down the history book in his hand, and asked calmly: "Does Guo Yongchun know that the people below him collaborated with the enemy?"

Lin Chaoran replied: "Judging from the information, I shouldn't know." ”

"Stupid!" the Ninety-Five Honored One concluded. After a pause, he added: "This matter, you and Yushitai will investigate and deal with it together, you can do what you want, in addition, it is not appropriate to publicize the matter of harboring people's girls, Guo Yongchun is the husband of the county lord after all." Go ahead. ”

"Obey. Lin Chaoran saluted and retreated.

Out of the palace, Lin Chaoran went straight to the Yushitai. At the Imperial Historical Terrace, he discussed with the Imperial Historian Zheng bluntly and did not leave until dark.

---

At dawn the next day, Shangshu and Yu Shi of the Criminal Department led dozens of people to Guo Yongchun's mansion.

The attendant went up and banged the door.

The housekeeper opened the door, looked at the situation in front of him, was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Unknown two adults are coming, villains..."

"Get out of here!" the attendant kicked the butler a few feet away.

"Your master's incident has ......" Zheng bluntly sneered and went in first.

Lin Chaoran didn't dare to go first, but followed closely. First, in terms of position, the number one leader of the Yushitai can investigate him Lin Chaoran, and secondly, this old man Zheng is not young, and he doesn't know martial arts at all, in case Guo Yongchun starts a madness and hurts him, it will not be good.

At this time, Guo Yongchun was still sleeping on the belly of his concubine Ting'er, and when he heard the sound outside, he hurriedly approved a piece of clothing and came out. Seeing that Zheng Zhiyan, the imperial historian, and Lin Chaoran, the secretary of the Criminal Department, broke in with a group of people, he was surprised and said: "The two adults are ......."

Zheng Zhiyan pointed at Guo Yongchun and said: "Guo Yongchun, this official and Lin Shangshu are ordered by His Majesty to investigate how many illegal things you have, and they are here to arrest you today, so let's go." ”

Guo Yongchun's mind was in a hurry, and he suddenly thought of the dozens of people he harbored, and suddenly his heart fell into the ice cave, and he said with a strong face: "I don't know what illegal things the lower officials have done?"

Zheng said bluntly: "Come with me to the Yushitai, and then I will talk to you one by one and take it away!" waved his hand and motioned for the people from the Yushitai to come up and tie people up.

"What's the matter?" Guo Yongchun was being tied up with five flowers, and a woman in costume walked out of the back hall, about thirty years old, with a beautiful face, a good demeanor, and a noble atmosphere.

"The minister has seen the county lord. Zheng Zhiyan and Lin Chaoran saluted one after another.

"The concubine has seen two adults. "This person is Guo Yongchun's wife, and is the cousin of His Majesty today, Zhao Ning, who married Guo Yongchun twenty years ago, but has never had children. Seeing that her husband was tied up, she did not show any panic as she was noble, she saluted Zheng and Lin, frowned, and said, "What did my husband do, bothering the two adults to come and get people in a hurry?"

"County Lord, Guo Shilang's matter, we are acting on the orders of His Majesty, and I forgive this official for not being able to talk to the county lord. Take. Zheng bluntly bowed his hand, turned around and left.

Lin Chaoran grinned and rubbed his forehead, he knew that this old Mr. Zheng was acting rigidly, and helplessly smiled apologetically to the county lord Zhao Ning, and said: "County lord, this matter is very troublesome, if you want to save Guo Shilang, you can only ask Your Majesty." The lower official retired. ”

At the same time.

Chen Letian, according to Li Tong, was at least Liang Tiandao, the first guard of the General's Mansion in the Xia Realm, and more than a dozen elite guards of the General's Mansion went to the helm of the White Tiger Gang.

The group came to the helm of the White Tigers in the eastern suburbs. Chen Letian sighed with emotion, this is a forbidden place for ordinary people, because here is the largest gangster in the capital.

There were a few guards at the gate of the house, and when they saw Chen Letian and other strangers rushing straight in, they drew their knives and stepped forward, but before they could speak, they were torn off by Liang Tiandao behind Chen Letian at a speed that Chen Letian couldn't see clearly. Almost in a moment's time, the necks of five people were broken. Chen Letian was even a little skeptical that these five people had died a long time ago.

"The house is quite big, and the brothers have a few spiritual points. Entering the inner house, Liang Tiandao seemed to be a little impatient, quickened his pace, and invisibly, everyone protected Chen Letian in the middle.

Considering that after all, he was the number one gangster in the capital, Liang Tiandao still cheered up after entering the door. The general said well, even if the enemy you face is as weak as a rabbit, even if you don't put on the posture of a lion fighting a rabbit, you must have the mentality of a lion fighting a rabbit.

However, Liang Tiandao was still too worried, and it was not the White Tiger Gang who was facing them to fight for their lives.

Before returning to the capital, Chen Letian did a lot of homework, including new laws and regulations such as the prohibition of crowds fighting in the inner city of the capital. He thought that the capital had changed drastically, and there would never be a scene where an enemy could be destroyed in an instant with his strength. You must know that the capital is a gathering place for all kinds of dignitaries and nobles, and it is common for fights and bullying to bully the weak, and Your Majesty can even change this, which means that at least the forces in all aspects have been balanced.

When Chen Letian reported the name of the General's Mansion, Zhao Hu, the leader of the White Tiger Gang, was like ashes, and without saying a word, he knelt down directly, threw himself to the ground, and said tremblingly: "The villain knows that he is wrong, and I hope that the second master can let go of a small way to live." ”

Then before Chen Letian could speak, Liang Tiandao stepped forward with the knife, raised the knife in his hand, removed one arm and one leg of Zhao Hu, and waved the blood on the knife impatiently: "Get out." ”

Zhao Hu endured the severe pain, and walked out by two henchmen, and the leader of the White Tiger Gang, who had dominated the rivers and lakes for decades, almost fainted, and lay down and muttered: "Thank you Second Master for sparing your life, thank you Second Master." ”

Chen Letian was stunned.

Second master, Li Tong. I didn't expect Li Tong, the head of the General's Mansion, to be so famous, and Chen Letian's jaw was about to fall.

"Slow down!" Liang Tiandao slowly pointed to Chen Letian next to him, and said, "Don't thank my second master, the one who wants to spare your life is Chen Letian Chen Gongzi of the Qiushi Inn." Also, what about Wu Fang?"

Zhao Hu opened his eyes and looked at Chen Letian, and said, "The villain knows, thank you Chen Gongzi, thank you." Wu Junshi... No, Wu Fang last night... I haven't been back since last night..."Before I finished speaking, I couldn't hold on and fainted.

The minion next to him said in a trembling voice: "Wu Junshi often stays up all night... Don't go back... But... But looking at the hour, it should be back soon. ”

"Alright, get out. Liang Tiandao waved his hand and turned his head to the people beside him: "A few of you go to meet that spy on the road, be sure to catch him, be careful, that guy may also be in the summer realm." I'll come later. ”

"Yes!" a dozen people replied, hurrying outside.

Chen Letian really wanted to take Liang Tiandao's head and kick it, but considering that making a move with a cultivator in the summer realm was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said, "Tiandao, do you want me to die?"

Liang Tiandao was stunned, then reacted, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of that Zhao Hu's revenge?" You think too much, if he dares to retaliate against you, then he won't be arrested today." I'm making a name for you, okay, why do you blame me? ”

"Really?" Chen Letian was skeptical.

"Really. I promise. If someone dares to take revenge on you, I Liang Tiandao will kill you or kill you. Liang Tiandao patted his chest.

"Can I beat you?"

"Isn't it okay if I don't fight back?"

"I want to hit you right now. ”

"You try. ”

"Just try. ”

Then I saw that Chen Letian had just raised his fist, and the whole person flew upside down on the roof, lying on the roof on all fours, dazed and didn't know what was going on. Chen Letian, who was lying on the roof, sat up, sighed, and then pointed to Liang Tiandao below, and said viciously: "Tiandao, you wait, half a year, I will defeat you within half a year!"

"Yes, one year, as long as you can beat me within a year, I will worship you as a teacher. Liang Tiandao scoffed, and then walked outside. According to the information he received, that Wu Fang was a cultivator of the Xia Realm, and he was in the same realm as Liang Tiandao. However, Liang Tiandao is very confident in himself, after decades of realm tempering, his summer realm has been very stable, and Wu Fang's identity as a spy determines that Wu Fang cannot cultivate purely. In this way, dealing with a cultivator like Wu Fang, who was obviously not pure enough, Liang Tiandao thought that he would definitely be able to do it.
