The Golden Age Chapter 516: It’s hard to escape.
Qin Xiao sat on the steps in front of Dali Temple, holding a jar of wine in his hand, and in a moment, half of the jar of wine had already been consumed.
Killing cruel people, drinking strong alcohol.
A group of people in Dali Temple squeezed the gate tightly. They admired Qin Xiao's courage and skill, but they worried that Qin Xiao's actions tonight would bring disaster to Dali Temple.
"Master Qin...!" Fei Xin finally walked behind Qin Xiao and said timidly: "Next...what should I do next?"
"I killed the traitor, so don't take credit with me." Qin Xiao took a sip of wine and calmly said: "No matter who finds it, it has nothing to do with you."
He started drinking when he was very young.
But it was just to resist the cold in my body.
After Hongye presented the blood pills, Qin Xiao rarely drank alcohol, and did not even bring the wine gourd with him.
It’s not that he quit drinking, but for many years, because drinking was to resist the cold, every time he picked up the wine gourd, he would think of the cold, so he threw away the wine gourd and only hoped that he I don't always think of the cold symptoms I have suffered because of seeing the wine gourd.
But tonight, after half a jar of wine, I felt warm and happy.
"My lord, it's almost dawn." Feisin whispered: "The officials who are doing errands on this street will soon be on errands, if...if you see these corpses... .!"
Qin Xiao looked up at the horizon.
The sky is already bright, and the cornices of the government offices on the Long Street can be seen clearly.
"What time is it?"
"There will be half a stick of incense, it will be dawn at the hour." Carefully asked: "Are these corpses first to find something to cover?"
Qin Xiao hadn’t spoken yet, but he saw a sound of footsteps, and his heart sank, walking along the prestige, and in the dimness, he saw a group of people on the long street quickly approaching here, thinking that he was the country’s father again. The expressions of the people in the palace changed slightly, but they quickly saw clearly that their clothes were clearly officials of the Criminal Ministry.
Faixin breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately raised it again.
At this time, the Ministry of Justice ran over, I am afraid there will be no good things.
More than twenty officials of the Criminal Department were accompanied by swords, and an official came around, it was Lu Junzhong, the chief officer of the Criminal Department.
The Xingbu Yamen is also located on Zhuque Street, in the best location in the middle of Zhuque Street, while Dali Temple is located on the street, so the two yamen are not too far apart. There is such a movement here, the nearby Yamen Naturally it is impossible not to hear the movement.
Seeing the corpses lying on the ground, everyone in the Xing Department was shocked. Lu Junzhong's slightly deformed face also showed surprise, and then he frowned and said in a deep voice: "Protect the scene. ."
The officers of the Criminal Department immediately stepped forward, instead of moving the corpse, but gathered around.
Lu Junzhong saw Qin Xiao who was sitting on the steps looking at him, walked over, frowned and said: "Qin Shaoqing, what happened? How come there are so many corpses here?"
"Lu Butang is late." Qin Xiao finally put down the wine jar, stood up, tidyed up the blood-stained clothes, and then he handed over to Lu Junzhong: "If you came earlier, could you still Kill the thieves and do meritorious service. I killed a few, and the others ran over there...!" Raised his hand and pointed in the direction where the guards fled, "Lu Butang is now running to chase, I'm afraid it is too
Can't catch up. "
"Kill the thief?" Lu Junzhong snorted coldly: "Where does the gangster come from in Kyoto?"
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "If you are not a gangster, how can you dare to smash into Dali Temple with a sharp weapon? Not only that, but they also brazenly kidnapped the subordinate officials. The appearance of such murderers in Lubutang and Kyoto is really heartwarming. Surprised."
"They ran into Dali Temple?"
"Yes, in the middle of the night, a group of people armed with knives are about to rush into Dali Temple." Qin Xiao said sternly, "As a member of Dali Temple, the lower official can't let a group of rebels break into the Dali Temple, otherwise, what is the face of my Tang Dynasty? In desperation, I could only stand up to resist, but these people were extremely cruel. First they wanted to kidnap the subordinates and resist them. They actually besieged the subordinates, and then the subordinates struggled to kill the thief." Looking back, I saw Fei Xin standing dazedly. Not far behind him, he asked: "Master Fei, you have seen it with your own eyes. Isn't that true?"
There was a hint of nervousness in Fei Xin's panic, but he was very clear in his heart that identifying the guards of the Guogong Mansion as a traitor would be the most beneficial to Dali Temple.
If the people of Dali Temple are sure that these are the guards of the Guogong Mansion, then Qin Xiao kills people, but the officials of Dali Temple will not stop them. That is to indulge the perpetrators. Under the anger of Mrs. Chengguo, the spear will also be directed at Dali Temple. .
Although ghosts will not believe that Dali Temple thinks these people are anti-thief, this is an excuse for Dali Temple to struggle in the future.
"Master Qin said very much." Feixin bit his scalp and said: "These people suddenly surrounded Dali Temple, armed with a murder weapon, and told Dali Temple to open the gate, otherwise they would rush into Dali Temple. People even said that they would burn Dali Temple with a fire."
Lu Junzhong frowned and said coldly: "They didn't report their identity?"
Qin Xiao hadn’t spoken yet, but he heard a criminal officer rush to Lu Junzhong and whispered in his ear. Lu Junzhong shook his body and walked quickly to the side of a corpse, but it was Gan Yong. Corpse.
"Master Qin, do you know this person?" Lu Junzhong turned his head and asked, pointing to Gan Yong's corpse on the ground.
Qin Xiao said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "Lu Butang, under his official allegiance to the court, is not at odds with the anti-thief, how can he know such an anti-thief?"
"He is Gan Yong, the guard of the Palace of Chengguo." Lu Junzhong's eyes were cold and stern: "You killed the people of the Palace of Chengguo."
"The Government of Chengguo has rebelled?" Qin Xiao looked awkward, and said anxiously: "Lu Butang, let's report it to the government, that the Government of Chengguo is about to rebel."
Lu Junzhong said angrily: "Nonsense, who said Chengguo's government rebelled? Mrs. Chengguo is the sister of the saint, how could he rebel?"
"But the adults said that these anti-thief belonged to the government of Chengguo. Isn't it that the government of Chengguo was rebelling?"
"When did the official say it?" Lu Junzhong was annoyed by Qin Xiaorao's heart: "The official said that you were not an anti-thief, but a member of Chengguo's palace. Qin Xiao, you killed the country's prince indiscriminately It is really unreasonable for the guards of the palace to slander the offending thief."
Qin Xiao's face sank, and he sneered: "Lu Butang, if a group of people ran to the criminal department's yamen in the middle of the night, and rushed in with knives to catch people, wouldn’t they be considered anti-thief? Dali Temple is the legal department’s yamen, and there are people If you want to break in, you have to use a knife to kill. Come and tell me, what are they if they are not anti-thief?"
Lu Junzhong was speechless for a while.
State-owned and national laws, every family has family rules.
Even the guards of the Guogong Mansion are not eligible to enter the Justice Office without permission, let alone forcibly breaking in with a knife in the middle of the night.
"They do claim to be the guards of the National Palace, but of course the subordinates can't believe it." Qin Xiao looked up and stared at Lu Junzhong and said: "Ms. Cheng Guo is a relative of the emperor, and she knows the weight of the country's laws. It is impossible to indulge his subordinates to attack the law office. The officials do not believe that Mrs. Cheng Guo will do this, so naturally they will not believe that they are the guards of the government office. They have to force the law office to maintain the dignity of the Tang Dynasty and to be loyal to the court. , It has not been possible to prevent someone from stigmatizing the reputation of Mrs. Chengguo under the banner of the government office, and the official can only kill the killer."
Lu Junzhong's eyes twitched. Although Qin Xiao's remarks are irrational, but if he really wants to argue, he can't find the fault.
"Killing people, and being the guards of the government, is a huge criminal case." Lu Junzhong finally said: "Master Qin will return to the penalty department first. After dawn, the officer will immediately present the matter. Sage, the palace will naturally have a will at that time."
"Go to the Criminal Ministry with you?" Qin Xiao smiled faintly: "Why are you going to the Criminal Ministry with you?"
"You murder and commit crimes, of course the officer has to investigate." Lu Junzhong said calmly.
Qin Xiao pointed his finger at the door plaque of Dali Temple, and said coldly: "Lu Butang, you can see clearly that this is Dali Temple, and Dali Temple also has the right to investigate and handle criminal cases. If this happened to you I can’t control the front door, but it happened in front of the Dali Temple. The case is naturally investigated by Dali Temple, and it is not your turn to intervene in the Criminal Department. You can speak frankly, and Lu Butang don’t blame it."
"You...!" Lu Junzhong became angry for a while.
Although he is not a relative of the emperor, he is only one of the six books, but the Manchu civil and military is polite in front of him. Even if he is the prime minister, he will give a three-pointer to Lu Junzhong. How can anyone dare Talk like this in front of him.
The deformed face was distorted because of anger, and the small eyes were like poisonous snakes, and the whole person was instantly filled with vicious air.
The officials of the Criminal Ministry saw Lu Junzhong's face and immediately pressed the hilt of the knife.
"State-owned, national laws, and family rules." Qin Xiao said lightly: "Don't say that I am only killing a thief tonight. Even if I really kill people in front of Dali Temple, there will be Dali Temple to arrest and investigate. If the Criminal Ministry wants to arrest me, just The saint’s will, without your hands, I will walk into the criminal department’s yamen.” With a cold face, he said sternly, “But whoever wants to use judicial power to arrest people indiscriminately, just come up and try. Although my official position is low, but It is an official of Dali Temple. If the Ministry of Criminal Affairs wants to act against an official of Dali Temple for no reason, it is knowing the law and breaking the law. I see which of you dare."
Lu Junzhong was very angry and grinned, carrying his hands on his back, and staring at Qin Xiao with a pair of eyes like poisonous snakes: "Qin Shaoqing is so courageous. You are not afraid of late for a good meal. You killed Mrs. Chengguo. You have already pierced the sky, Ben The official wants to see how you will end up next." Slowly passed by Qin Xiao, stopped, and turned around: "Qin Xiao, you'd better beg the palace not to hand this case to the Criminal Ministry for trial. , Otherwise the officer will let you see a real criminal ministry."
He snorted coldly, and said: "You are here to watch the scene. After daybreak, the official will play in the palace immediately." Without saying more, he moved away.
Qin Xiao looked at Lu Junzhong's back, in the morning light, like a ghost, knowing that Lu Junzhong was dissatisfied with the case of Dali Temple's interception of Wei Bi, and now he will use tonight's incident to attack himself and even Dali Temple.
Faixin's face turned pale.
He knew Lu Junzhong’s brutality, and he also knew that Qin Xiao not only provoked Mrs. Cheng Guo tonight, but also directly confronted Lu Junzhong. The young official offended two people who could not be offended overnight. I'm afraid it's inevitable.
