Chapter 54: Chess to the Midgame (7)

The torch illuminated the street, and seeing Situ Lou and the others approaching step by step, Zhan Yunqin first glanced at Ji Hualian, who was holding his sword and bowing his head, and then glanced at Sikong Gu beside him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After receiving Sikong Gu's firm reply, Zhan Yunqin took half a step back, he, a master of anti-theft in the yamen, could not play a role at all in this kind of battle between the rivers and lakes.

“...... In other words, you want to wipe out the Situ family?"

At that time, in the inner room of the mansion, Zhan Yunqin's eyes were wide-eyed, and he couldn't believe that Ji Hualian's purpose of letting him support Sikong Gu was like this.

"The rivers and lakes have grievances. Ji Hualian smiled slightly with the teacup, and after a long time, he opened and closed his mouth, and he would be a little thirsty after all.

"Ji ...... Ji Daxia should also know that now he is ...... Zhan has already set foot in it, how can he withdraw at this moment?"

Zhan Yunqin obviously didn't want to step into this troubled water, but in Ji Hualian's meaningful gaze, Zhan Yunqin understood what Ji Hualian meant. Although his expression did not change, his slightly cowering tone still betrayed his thoughts:

"Is this to let Zhan represent the government and step into the disputes of the rivers and lakes? If so......"

"It's not on behalf of the government, it's on behalf of the imperial court. Ji Hualian corrected with a smile.

"Even if it's a ...... of the imperial court"

"Isn't it true that the imperial court can't even decide on this little thing? Zhan Zhutou, you must know that the current imperial court is not a pseudo-Tang Dynasty, and now the Shengzhou Mansion is no longer Jinling City. ”

Zhan Yunqin was still a little hesitant, and there was a hint of indecisiveness in his eyes.

"Ji Daxia, if all this really wants to be like the arrangement of Sikong Shaoxia, then whether Zhan is out or not, I'm afraid it doesn't matter, right?"

After hesitating for a while, Zhan Yunqin saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, the remnant sun on the horizon had gradually disappeared, and the candlestick in the hut had to be lit with a little open flame. Ji Hualian was still sitting leisurely, did he glance at Zhan Yunqin, but he didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Zhan Yunqin's pleading-like gaze......

Zhan Yunqin ...... Didn't you refuse to swear to be subservient to the throne......? I wonder if it's a great opportunity?"

Zhan Yunqin glanced at Ji Hualian who was stirring the wick again, obviously this Kunlun faction "Three Immortal Sword" Ji Daxia had been bored and began to play some inexplicable games like a child.

"Ji Daxia, Zhan is Jiangning Mansion right now...... No, it's the head catcher of Shengzhou Mansion. ”

"It's still called Jiang Ning, it doesn't matter what the name is, as long as you know who gave you the official hat you were wearing on your head. Seeing that Zhan Yunqin had finally made a decision, Ji Hualian nodded slightly, stood up and gently patted Zhan Yunqin on the shoulder.

"Sikong Gu is a bitter master, now that the human and material evidence is complete, how to explain it to the outside world, I think you know better than me. ”

Zhan understood. ”

"Also, before and after people, can you not be so respectful when you see me? If you don't want to be as alienated as a living person, it's okay for you to call me 'brother', after all, I, a 'Kunlun disciple', still want to continue to do it, how can anyone in the government be afraid of the Jianghu people?"

"Zhan...... Brother Zhan understood, Brother Ji, should you rush to the Hengyun Inn now?"

"Handle the case, Brother Zhan knows better than me, I listen to Brother Zhan. ”

Ji Hualian smiled slightly, secretly praising Zhan Yunqin's courage and experience in the rivers and lakes in his heart, after knowing his new identity, he could adapt to it so quickly, and he could immediately switch the role he should play...... Ji Hualian had to admit that Zhan Yunqin, as a criminal arrester, really had some strength.

"After this is over, do you really want to abandon him? This chess piece may still be of great use to me, right?"

Zhan Yunqin's slight retreat was almost equivalent to pushing Sikong Gu forward, although Zhan Yunqin still left generous words, and this voice soon covered the entire street illuminated by the light of the torch:

"The master of the Situ family, the noble son stole gold and killed people, and the human and material evidence are all there, and now he is brought back to the yamen for interrogation, it is for legal reasons, and I hope that the Situ family will not be blamed. Of course, if this matter is to wronged the noble son, tomorrow he should personally bear the guilt. Now if the head of the Situ family refuses to give way...... Then Hugh blamed Zhan for putting this official robe on the table. ”

"Zhan Zhutou is such a big official, and now he will take people down silently, and he will not say a word to our ward. Could it be that the government still wants to attack the rivers and lakes after all?"

Situ Lei's shouting was faintly contained in the thick internal force, although it was behind Zhan Yunqin, but the voice was as clear as if it was spoken half a foot in front of Zhan Yunqin. Just as Zhan Yunqin was about to turn his head to look behind him, Situ Lou's calm and slightly majestic voice came from in front of him.

"Zhan Zhutou, you and our Situ family are also old acquaintances, Lao Lei has always had such a hot temper, and I hope Zhan Zhutou will not be blamed. Our apprentice family didn't dare to take the charge of 'interfering with official business', and this time with such fanfare, it was just to ask Zhan Zhutou for justice. ”

Situ Lou's voice was not loud, but it was very clear in the silent street, unlike Situ Lei who secretly used his internal force to speak, Situ Lou just relied on his voice to let everyone in the team of dozens of people Zhan Yunqin and Sikong Gu hear it clearly. Even Situ Bai, who was placed in the carriage at this moment, and the whole person who was paralyzed in the carriage could hear clearly.

"It is worthy of being a hero in the rivers and lakes...... Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person, just with this good voice, he is worthy of being the head of the Jiangning Situ family. ”

Ji Hualian held the long sword, and glanced at Chunzhi who was closing his palms and closing his eyes on his side, and then looked at the scene that had just opened with interest.

"Master Situ, your Situ family asks for justice, should our Sikong Gu also ask for justice?"

Sikong, who knew what Zhan Yunqin's small step back meant, naturally stepped forward, otherwise if he was still entangled in the question of "whether the government is justified", then this time the dispute in the rivers and lakes is very likely to evolve into a debate on criminal law, so that Sikong Gu's overall plan will be messed up, and a dispute in the rivers and lakes will be resolved invisibly.

"Didn't the nephew just get justice back this afternoon? Didn't Zhuge Hui also witness a wonderful duel with this nephew?"

"This justice is to get a little back, but the mastermind behind the scenes has still not been caught, in the eyes of the little nephew, I am afraid that the Shenmen is only wronged, and the person who plots behind the scenes is only afraid that it is not the 'outsider' of the Shenmen. ”

"It's not an 'outsider', so who could it be?"
