Chapter 101: Arresting people under orders
Next, Liu Hao and the four of them went to meet Chu Xiong and Chu Bufan again, and praised them for giving birth to a son and a good grandson, so that the people of all veins who were proud just now did not dare to breathe, and could only stare at Chu Xiong with envy and hatred.
Although Chu Xiong had doubts in his heart as to why his son knew such high-ranking officials as the squire of the Ministry of War, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and the squire of the Criminal Department, but now that he was surrounded by these adults and said hello, he couldn't think much about it for a while, so he could only be flattered and cautiously talk to them, for fear that something would be wrong and annoy a few adults.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door, and a group of soldiers wearing armor and armed with spears or knives broke in, and in the blink of an eye, surrounded the entire hall inside and outside.
"Who are you!What are you going to do?!" Chu Yi, the patriarch of the Chu clan, walked out of the hall first, staring at these soldiers and shouting.
"On the orders of the crown prince, come to arrest the murderer Chu Chen, and no one will retreat as soon as possible, otherwise the same crime will be committed!" a general wearing armor and a majestic attitude walked in from outside, holding a token in his hand and shouting.
"Who is Chu Chen, stand up for General Ben!" the general asked again.
"I just, I don't know who the prince said I killed? Can anyone testify?" Chu Chen sat and asked lazily.
"Come on, tie me up!" The general didn't answer Chu Chen's words at all, and directly asked someone to tie him up.
At this time, there were already a lot of people walking out of the lobby, most of them were puzzled, they didn't know who Chu Chen had killed, but there were still a few people with sneers on their faces, especially Chu Fei, seeing that Chu Chen was suddenly going to be arrested by the soldiers, it was a schadenfreude in his heart!
Some of the cousins and cousins who were sitting outside with Chu Chen, many of them saw the officers and soldiers coming, and they were immediately frightened and retreated, especially Lu Zhijing, Hu Xuanyi and others, it was a happy thing, I didn't expect that it was still in the clouds just now, and now it fell into the mud.
It's just that at this time, there was an angry shout from the lobby. "Presumptuous! Mu San, according to my Da Chu law, is there anyone like you who takes people casually? Tell your people to get out of the way!"
Liu Hao and the other four came out of the lobby, Liu Hao shouted angrily, startled the soldiers who were going to tie up Chu Chen, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
"It turned out to be Lord Liu, Lord Shi, Lord Zhou, Lord Zuo, I didn't know that the four adults were here, the little one disturbed the four adults, and asked the four adults to forgive their sins!" Mu San saw that it was Liu Hao and the four of them, and his face suddenly changed, and he no longer had the arrogant appearance just now, but trotted down to Liu Hao and the four to salute and confess.
"Today is the ninetieth birthday of the old lady of the Chu clan, and the old lady of Chu is a meritorious minister who followed the first emperor to conquer the south and the north, at his old man's birthday banquet, do you dare to arrest people, don't you want to live?!" Zhou Sheng, the waiter of the Criminal Department, shouted.
Zhou Sheng is a servant of the Criminal Department, no one knows the laws of Chu better than him, the old lady of Chu is a hero of the first emperor's period, and should be given special care, even if his descendants are guilty, he can't make his birthday banquet, although Zhou Sheng said that Mu San didn't want to live by doing this, but let Mu San suffer a little and take a few dozen boards can still do it.
"My lord's life! This is all the matter that the prince explained, the lower official is just acting on orders, and I ask your lord to forgive me!" Mu Sanyi listened to Zhou Sheng's words, and really thought that his life would be in danger, so he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in fright.
Mu San is just a small partial general in the city defense battalion in the capital, although he also has the official rank of four grades, but it is still not enough to see in front of the squire, plus he is timid by nature, he likes to shoot whiskers and horses, I don't know when he became a dog next to the prince, the fox and the tiger are powerful and the dog is powerful, but he just dares to bully people in ordinary officials, and he really has to pretend to be a grandson in front of officials with higher official positions and real power than him.
"What the hell is going on, why did the prince order the arrest of Mr. Chu, if you don't give an explanation today, you don't have to wear this four-grade hat!" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Yes, yes, the lower official said this, but the little one also listened to what the people below said, and I don't know if it's true or not. Mu San nodded again and again, and said: "A few days ago, I heard that a woman came to the prince's mansion and asked to see the princess's younger brother Wang Shao, no, Wang Qian, not long after, the prince sent me to the audience, let me come to Wuling City to arrest Chu Chen, and listened to the subordinates of the prince's mansion say that the woman is Wang Qian's mother-in-law, what is the specific matter, the lower official really doesn't know, the lower official is just ordered to do things, begging the four adults to spare their lives!"
"Since this matter is known to the official, my criminal department will naturally go to investigate, you go back to the prince, say that my criminal department has taken over this matter, and will give the prince a satisfactory explanation in the near future, in addition, my criminal department is investigating some things about Wang Qian, so that Wang Jian is ready to receive the summons order at any time!" Zhou Sheng said.
"Yes, the little one will go back to his life!" Kisan ran away with his tail between his legs.
"I'm sorry, sir, to have disturbed you by such a villain. Liu Hao walked over and apologized to Chu Chen.
"It's not your fault, I don't care about this little thing, you can continue to talk to my grandfather. Chu Chen said.
Liu Hao and the four of them were invited into the lobby again, and after a while, a subordinate came over to invite Chu Chen into the lobby, but Chu Chen refused, so he sat outside and was fine.
The subordinate went into the lobby to report, saying that Chu Chen was reluctant to enter the lobby, because Liu Hao and the four of them were there, so the people of all veins did not dare to say anything, otherwise, they didn't know what to say.
"Xiao Chen may still be young and not used to such a scene, so let him stay outside. Chu Bufan said.
With Chu Bufan's excuse, everyone had to go on and say, in front of the four adults, it was not good to reprimand Chu Chen for putting on a show, so as not to offend the four adults, after all, they were here for Chu Chen.
"Brother Chu Chen, what should I do?" After the trouble of Mu San just now, Qin Yanran suddenly became worried, according to what Mu San said, that woman must be her mother, I didn't expect her to run to the capital, and wronged Brother Chu Chen, causing her to be confused for a while, and she didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, I'm here. Chu Chen took Qin Yanran's hand and patted it gently, and at the same time, gave her a reassuring look.
"It's just a pity that Wang Qian's goods didn't come out of the capital, and now that he is here today, the deity can kill him quietly. Chu Chen said quite disappointed in his heart, he didn't expect that Wang Jian still had some brains now, and he knew that he would not come out of hiding in the capital.
