Outside the residence of the Marquis Zhongwu.
Long after Wu Bei drove the carriage away, Wang was still standing at the bottom of the steps, trembling slightly.
Luo Changtian walked down the steps, supported her and said, "Mother, I'll take you in."
Wang turned her head to look at him, and suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Changtian, we can't let that little bastard out. We absolutely can't let him out. That little bastard is very vicious. We must cut the grass and eradicate it completely."
Before Luo Changtian could answer, Luo Yannian on the side immediately said sternly: "Shut up! Does Changtian need you to teach him how to do things? Changtian has finally come to this point. He knows better than anyone what to do and what not to do. Stay out of it!"
Wang lowered her head, her face still full of hatred and resentment, but she said nothing more.
"Mother, I'll take you in first. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
Luo Changtian comforted her gently, supported her and walked her up the stairs.
Luo Yannian still stood at the bottom of the steps, looking at the alley where the carriage disappeared. After the mother and son entered the mansion, he muttered to himself expressionlessly: "Retribution? I want to see what kind of retribution you, a mere scholar, can bring me..."
The night grows darker.
Wu Bei drove the carriage, galloping through the streets, and soon entered the palace gate and headed towards the Jinyiwei guard post.
In the carriage.
Qin Wenzheng was comforting them: "Don't worry, we just need to tell the truth. Without evidence, they won't dare to torture us."
Neither Luo Qingzhou nor Xia Chan said anything.
Qin Chuan was silent for a while, and said, "Dad, judging from what Xue Yi and Mei Jiao said before, the Jinyiwei dared to arrest even the royal family, so I'm afraid they would really dare to torture us. Moreover, the commander of the Jinyiwei is Luo Changtian. The reason why he asked his men to bring us to his house just now is probably because he wanted Luo Yannian and his wife to humiliate us and avenge us. So, we can't be careless."
Qin Wenzheng looked across and said, "Qingzhou has the status of a juren to protect him, so he should be fine. As for Xia Chan..."
There was silence in the carriage for a few breaths.
Luo Qingzhou said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, Xia Chan will be fine."
Qin Wenzheng frowned and said, "Qingzhou, the four of us will be interrogated separately. I'm afraid that by then..."
Luo Qingzhou tightly held the cold little hand of the girl beside him and said with a firm look: "I will not separate from Xia Chan."
"But… "
"No buts."
Luo Qingzhou interrupted him, his eyes flashing with a resolute cold light: "Father-in-law, second brother, Qingzhou wants to ask you a question, if one day, Qingzhou suddenly becomes a criminal wanted by Dayan, what will you do?"
Qin Chuan didn't hesitate at all. He clenched his fist and said, "Let's die together, or run together!"
Qin Wenzheng said: "Qingzhou, we have been a family for a long time. No matter what you do, our Qin family will definitely support you."
Luo Qingzhou nodded, a warm feeling flowing through his heart, and said: "With the words of my second brother and father-in-law, I feel relieved."
After a pause, he continued, "But I still hope that we won't get to that point tonight. After all, we're not ready yet."
The carriage did not stop at the guardhouse, but drove directly to the cell at the back where the prisoners were being interrogated.
Outside the cell door, there were two rows of armored soldiers guarding.
Each of those soldiers was full of vigor and vitality, had a strong build, and was a powerful warrior.
Wu Bei drove the carriage to the outside of the prison, dismounted, and shouted coldly, "Master Qin, get off."
Qin Wenzhen, Qin Chuan and the other two got off the carriage.
When he saw the cell in front of him, his pupils shrank and he said angrily, "You want to put me in jail before the trial and conviction? Although I, Qin Wenzheng, no longer have a title, my ancestors were meritorious officials. How can you, the Jinyiwei, be so lawless and put me in jail without any evidence?"
Wu Bei sneered, "Don't get excited, Lord Qin. The interrogation room is inside the cell. You go in first, and when the commander comes back, he will interrogate you one by one."
Qin Chuan also said angrily: "We are not guilty, why do you want to put us in jail?"
Wu Bei looked at him coldly and asked, "Why?"
At this point, he suddenly patted the knife at his waist and said, "We are the Jinyiwei, we are directly responsible to the emperor, and we are the Jinyiwei who can arrest anyone!"
"Bah!"
Qin Chuan said with disdain: "They are just a bunch of flattering lackeys!"
“Bang!”
Wu Bei's eyes flashed fiercely, and he drew the knife from his waist, saying with a sinister look on his face: "Say it again, and see if I dare to chop off your head directly."
Qin Chuan sneered, his face full of arrogance: "Since the founding of my Great Yan, no one has ever dared to chop off the heads of students from Dragon and Tiger Academy for a single word! Not even the emperor can do that! You are just a running dog, what qualifications do you have? The first dean of my Dragon and Tiger Academy was Taizu! Taizu once said that students from Dragon and Tiger Academy are all pillars of my Great Yan, and they must be punished for no fault, arrested for no crime, and those who kill without reason will have their entire clan exterminated. My head, Qin Chuan, is on your neck today, if you have the guts, chop it off and try it out?"
Wu Bei was intimidated by his aura, his face became gloomy and changed constantly.
At this moment, another middle-aged man in a Feiyu suit walked out of the cell, sneered, "The Grand Master did say so, and we Jinyiwei naturally dare not disobey. But whether you are guilty or not is not up to you. Since we arrested you here, it is because you are a suspect. No matter who you are, the people of Dayan should cooperate with our Jinyiwei to investigate serious cases. You dare not enter the cell, are you guilty?"
Wu Bei saw the newcomer, bowed, and introduced him in a cold voice: "This is Captain Zhang who manages the prison. From now on, you will be under his charge."
The middle-aged man bowed to Qin Wenzheng and said, "I am Zhang Jin. Sir Qin, rest assured, we will not interrogate you or torture you before the commander comes back."
After that, he glanced at the four people and said, "Lord Qin is a descendant of meritorious service, your son is a student of Dragon and Tiger College, and your son-in-law is a juren, with honors. Even if I were given another guts, I would not dare to torture you without evidence, what do you think?"
Qin Wenzheng knew that he could no longer resist, so he said gloomily, "We can go in, but you must lock us up together."
Wu Bei on the side sneered: "Master Qin, you are joking. You are suspects now, how can you be locked up together?"
Zhang Jin also smiled, glanced at the beautiful girl behind him, and said, "Also, we have a rule here that men and women cannot be locked up together. Sir Qin, I'm sorry."
Then his face darkened and he shouted directly: "Come here, take them in and detain them separately!"
Suddenly, several jailers with short knives on their waists rushed out of the cell and rushed towards the four people aggressively.
“Who dares!”
Qin Chuan suddenly shouted angrily and protected Xia Chan behind him.
Qin Wen Zheng and Luo Qingzhou protected in another direction, and placed the silent girl without her sword in the middle.
They were not fools, so they naturally heard what the other party had just said.
The other party didn't dare to touch the three people, but the girl behind them had no identity. Once she was locked up alone by them, no one could predict the consequences.
Xia Chan had saved the Qin family several times before, and they would never watch her fall into the tiger's mouth!
“Bang!”
Zhang Jin suddenly drew out the short knife from his waist and said coldly, "Are you guys planning a rebellion?"
The three of them remained silent and stood still.
The robes of Qin Wenzhen and Qin Chuan were inflated, their aura was surging, and the warrior's momentum burst out instantly.
Luo Qingzhou was wearing a wedding gown, still as calm as before. His hand was still holding the cold little hand of the girl behind him, and his eyes were calmly facing the blade drawn by the jailer in front of him.
There seemed to be flashes of lightning deep in the pupils.
"Good! Very good!"
Zhang Jin's face was filled with a grim smile. The blade in his hand made a humming sound, and a cold light flashed across it. He said in a cold voice, "According to the regulations, I will warn you one last time. If you don't surrender, I will kill you without mercy!"
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Luo Qingzhou slowly let go of the girl's cold little hand behind him, and the hand hidden in his sleeve gradually clenched into a fist. In his dantian, the internal force slowly passed through the acupoints and silently flowed into his arm.
Since we can't live in peace, let's create a storm and bury everything!
“Sizzle—”
He suddenly felt a flash of lightning in the surging Danhai Sea.
"Three! Two! One!"
Zhang Jin finished counting with a grim smile, and seeing that the three men were still like this, he suddenly raised the knife in his hand and shouted, "Capture them all! If there is resistance, kill them without mercy!"
"yes!"
The people brought by Wu Bei, the two rows of soldiers holding spears, and more than ten jailers, all shouted in unison, full of murderous intent!
“Swish!”
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a flame suddenly lit up in the darkness behind, and then the flame came in an instant, instantly piercing through the jailer outside and the four people surrounded in the middle, and pierced into the chest of Zhang Jin who was holding a knife with a "puff" sound, directly piercing his body and sending him flying backwards. With a "bang", it pierced into one of the doors of the cell behind!
Zhang Jin was hung on the door, the knife still in his hand. After a few seconds of dull expression on his face, he opened his eyes wide, lowered his head, and looked at his chest.
There was a gun stuck in there.
A scarlet spear with flashing red light and flowing runes, as if forged from blood.
—It’s called the Fire Moon Spear!
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the passage.
Then, a tall figure in a fiery red dress, accompanied by more than a dozen guards, walked out of the darkness with a dignified look on her face.
The dozen or so guards were all women. Except for one girl in a black dress who had a sword hanging around her waist, the other women were empty-handed.
But the momentum they brought at this moment was like thousands of troops on the battlefield.
If a soul were to pass by at this moment, it would see the extremely terrifying energy and blood rising from their heads!
Each of them is an iron-blooded warrior who can fight against hundreds of enemies alone and kill countless enemies on the battlefield!
"Whoever wants to kill my people, stand out and let me see."
The girl in the red dress who was surrounded in the front seemed to have flames burning on her body. Her voice was cold and majestic, and everyone was terrified wherever her eyes went.
