With the thieves arrested, the short-lived riots in Jingshi returned to silence, and only Ning Jue knew that the real storm had just begun.

Zhang Rong and Zhu Xizhong led the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to escort the man in black and his accomplices, turned around and went straight to the criminal department.

When Zhu Xizhong and his entourage arrived at the yamen of the Criminal Department, the yamen of the Criminal Department, which was almost midnight, was already brightly lit, as if they were waiting to welcome Zhu Xizhong.

"Zhan Butang?"

Zhu Xizhong stepped into the lobby of the Criminal Department with his front feet, and even saw Zhan Han, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, who was sitting high above the lobby.

Zhan Han couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face the moment he saw Zhu Xizhong.

"Chenggong?"

Zhu Xizhong clenched his fists a little and then said: "Young Si Kou Gong is loyal to the country, and he is actually on duty in the ministry in the middle of the night?" ”

Zhan Han's eyes gradually narrowed into a line.

"Fang Cai's Jingshi police report is a masterpiece, Yu Sikou is old, Zhan Mou should be in charge of the department, in case of accidents, but Cheng Gong has captured the thief?"

Zhu Xizhong didn't notice anything wrong, and casually pointed to the man in black behind him.

"Zhan Butang, this gang of thieves is plotting to kill Ning Bingxian, according to Ning Bingxian, the monarch's father and the country are involved."

Hearing this, Zhan Han's face changed suddenly, he straightened up suddenly, and slapped the stunned wood.

"Bang!"

"Bold thief, is what Cheng Gong said true?!"

With just one look, the black-clothed man who was escorted by Zhu Xizhong fell to his knees with a "poof" of understanding.

"Si Kou is wronged!"

"The grass people just had some quarrels with Ning Jue, and they couldn't get angry for a while, so they did something foolish."

"The imperial court ordered the officials to recognize it, but the monarch's father, the country's capital, and the grass people really don't understand!"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, Zhu Xizhong understood even if he was a fool.

Can these people be confused for a while?!

The ones in his house are all border army veterans, even if ordinary thieves wear soft armor, they will never be so embarrassed to be knocked down.

How could such people be unlucky to find Ning Jue on a whim.

"Nonsense! You are all extraordinary, and you have no plans to tell someone?! ”

The man in black choked back when he landed: "Grandpa, the grass people are just born with divine power, and they really deserve to die and offend Grandpa!" ”

The night was dark and windy before, and Zhang Rong hadn't seen it very clearly, but after the man in black said this, Zhang Rong found that Zhu Xizhong actually had a blue nose and swollen face, and almost didn't laugh directly.

"You!"

Zhu Xizhong's eyes widened, and he gasped in pain even after tearing the wound on his face.

Before Zhu Xizhong could speak, Zhan Han's face was already full of smiles.

"In this case, this official thinks that Cheng Gong and Ning Bingxian have misunderstood!"

After that, Zhan Hanwu got up, walked down the hall, looked at Zhu Xizhong and said with a smile: "Chenggong, what do you think?" ”

"The official first gave each of them twenty sticks to kill, and then sentenced each of them to 3,000 li, let them go to Lingnan to reflect on their lives, what do you think?"

When Zhu Xizhong heard this, his face immediately fell.

Three thousand miles in exile? Is that any different from going home and going to jail?!

I was beaten so that my nose was blue and my face was swollen, and these people together ended up with twenty sticks?!

"What does Zhan Butang mean that he must listen to their words?"

Zhan Han was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Xizhong with a smile.

"Didn't Cheng Gong listen to Ning Bingxian's words?"

It wasn't until this moment that Zhu Xizhong and Zhang Rong realized why Ning Jue had to be imprisoned with this group.

With the position of the Criminal Department, this case will definitely not be small!

"A certain person who only knows about this fang conspiracy monarch can't deal with it in such a hurry."

"Cheng Guogong! The imperial court has a system, this matter of my criminal department, has Cheng Guogong forgotten the story of the son of the country in the past? ! ”

"You!" Zhu Xizhong stared at Zhan Han deadly, but Zhang Rong dragged Zhu Xizhong behind Zhu Xizhong.

This sentence is undoubtedly a showdown with Zhu Xizhong, and directly told Zhu Xizhong and the others that in this case, he Zhan Han was just entrusted by others.

The result of their insistence on making trouble is that they become enemies of the entire civilian bureaucracy.

Zhan Han said that the son of Dingguo, that is, Xu Shiying, the grandfather of Xu Yande, the current Duke of Dingguo.

Just because Xu Shiying was in the office of the Governor's Mansion, he brought home several pieces of the military department to act, and was impeached by Wenchen and died in prison, and the Dingguo Gong line has not been awarded a position in the army for 20 years, if it were not for Wuzong and Xu Guangzuo to be friendly, the title of the Dingguo Gong line would have been extinct.

Xu Shiying's case is a political declaration of the civilian clique to Wu Xun.

This kind of thing is definitely not something that a Zuo Shilang from the Criminal Department can do in Zhan Han.

It is true that you Zhu Xizhong is highly honored, but after a hundred years, your children and grandchildren will be knighted and appointed in the army, neither of which can bypass the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War of the civil officials.

Seeing Zhu Xizhong standing still, Zhan Han also sat back in the lobby of the Criminal Department in a chic manner.

"Bang!" A startling sound sounded.

"Come on, put the prisoner in prison, and depose him after submitting it to the Thorn Department for verification!"

The two classes of officials who bowed to the hall walked towards the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Zhu Xizhong's chest rose and fell violently.

Even if he knew that this case involved the Son of Heaven, the complexity of this case was far beyond Zhu Xizhong's imagination.

Behind this group of thieves stood not one or two people.

"Big brother, I know you are aggrieved, you have to think about your family if you don't think about it!"

It is precisely because of knowing the ruthlessness of Wenchen that the British public lineage can be honored and favored for generations.

The credit for this case is huge, but the stakes are also surprisingly high.

Zhu Xizhong and Zhang Rong, who were already dukes, had no need to wade into this muddy water again.

Zhu Xizhong's eyes widened, but in the end he still stood in place.

Although Zhan Han is only a left-hand servant of the criminal department of the third grade, he can steadily suppress Zhu Xizhong, the duke.

What's more, Zhan Han is just the one who was pushed out to show up.

Who is the real mastermind behind this case, Zhang Rong and Zhu Xizhong don't know, and they don't dare to think about it.

"Grandpa......"

The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division looked at Zhang Rong suspiciously.

Zhang Rong smiled and arched his hand towards Zhan Han.

"Zhan Butang, don't say it, my eldest brother is a rough man, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, release him!"

Zhang Rong said so, and the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division naturally didn't want to hold on to the man in black.

Just as the two shifts of the criminal department were about to take the prisoners to the prison, a panting voice sounded outside the yamen of the criminal department.

"Misunderstanding fart! You guys put one and try it! ”

The person who came was sweating profusely and leaned against the gate of the yamen of the criminal department, it was Ning Jue.
