"Zhu Ping'an, you and Yang Jisheng colluded with each other, conspired against the emperor, slandered the emperor, framed Lord Yan, and forged the prince's order. Now there is evidence and witnesses, the facts are clear, what else do you have to say now?"
The Jinyiwei in the bright red flying fish uniform narrowed his eyes like a poisonous bee and looked at Zhu Ping'an, curling the corners of his mouth and sneering sinisterly.
"I'm telling you, is it useful?" Zhu Ping'an was very calm and smiled slightly.
"Of course...it's useless! Haha..." The Jinyiwei in the big red flying fish uniform laughed like a jackal.
"What's the point of saying more to you?" Zhu Ping'an curled his lips.
"No, it's beneficial." The Jinyiwei in the red flying fish uniform raised a finger and shook it, with the corners of his mouth curving even more.
Please start your performance.
Zhu Ping'an was too lazy to even hang him.
The Jinyiwei in the red flying fish uniform was not frustrated because Zhu Ping'an didn't hang him. He smiled at Zhu Ping'an and said, "You can make excuses. It's best if you make an exaggerated and dry-mouthed excuse. Anyway, I won't listen. It will be more interesting to arrest you this way."
"One day shines on the white sand." Zhu Ping'an looked at the Jinyiwei in red flying fish uniforms, smiled slightly, and said softly.
"What's the meaning?"
The Jinyiwei in red flying fish uniforms looked bewildered and had no idea what Zhu Ping'an meant by "three lotus roots floating in the green pond."
"What it means is... three lotus roots floating in a green pond." Zhu Ping'an pulled the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.
The Jinyiwei in the red flying fish uniforms were even more confused.
However, seeing Zhu Ping'an like this, although Dahong Feiyufu didn't understand what Zhu Ping'an meant by "One sun shines on the white sand, three lotus roots float on the green pond", he knew in his heart that it was definitely not a good thing, and his face couldn't help but become ferocious.
You are about to die, and you still dare to tease me!
You are really looking for death!
I originally wanted to tease you and give you a few more moments, but since you don’t cherish it, I will grant your wish!
"Left and right! Help me capture Yang's accomplice Zhu Ping'an!"
The look on the Jinyiwei in the red flying fish uniform turned ferocious. He waved his hand and ordered the Jinyiwei to arrest Zhu Ping'an.
The Jinyiwei had been eyeing Zhu Ping'an like vicious dogs on standby for a long time. Now, when they heard the order from the captain, they immediately pounced on Zhu Ping'an.
"Stop! This is the Linhuai Marquis's Mansion. My husband is an official appointed by the imperial court. Who are you? How dare you act wildly here!"
Li Shujiao shouted, and walked in front of Zhu Pingan without hesitation, stretching out her arms firmly, like a hen protecting her chicks.
The chubby little maid Hua'er also followed Li Shu with trembling legs, and together with Li Shu, they stood in front of Zhu Ping'an.
Li Shu was extremely beautiful and had an aura of nobility. Standing in front of Zhu Ping'an, she looked like a phoenix. No one could look directly at her. The Jinyiwei who pounced on her like vicious dogs were all intimidated, and they hesitated and dared not step forward.
"Sister Li, Hua'er, please leave. Don't worry, I will be fine."
Zhu Pingan reached out and patted Li Shu and Hua'er on the shoulders, then walked between them and came in front of them. I appreciate your kindness, but I, Zhu Pingan, am not the kind of pretty boy who hides behind a girl when in danger.
Besides, these people are the Jinyiwei, the ancient spies who kill without blinking an eye and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Zhu Ping'an is worried that he may not be able to protect Li Shu and Hua'er in time, so how could he let them face danger in front of him.
"waste!"
The Jinyiwei in the red flying fish uniform saw that his men were scared away by a young lady and couldn't help but curse angrily.
After being scolded by the captain, the Jinyiwei immediately became energized. In addition, Zhu Ping'an ran to the front again at this moment, and these Jinyiwei immediately pounced on him again like mad dogs, as if they were going to tear Zhu Ping'an into pieces.
The Jinyiwei rushed forward ferociously, and the murderous aura they brought with them was like the wind, making Zhu Ping'an's sleeves rustle.
"Brother Zhu..."
"Son-in-law..."
Li Shu and Hua'er couldn't help but scream out in nervousness.
"presumptuous!"
When the Jinyiwei rushed to him so close that Zhu Ping'an could clearly see the sweat hairs on their faces, Zhu Ping'an suddenly opened his mouth and shouted like an angry King Kong.
The Jinyiwei were caught off guard and were stunned for a moment.
"I, Zhu Ping'an, am a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. You are the Jinyi Guards. Do you have the emperor's order to arrest me?" After Zhu Ping'an calmed down the Jinyi Guards, he looked up at the Jinyi Guard in the bright red flying fish uniform and asked calmly.
In fact, Zhu Ping'an knew very well that since the Jinyiwei dared to arrest him, they must be doing so on the emperor's orders.
However, Zhu Ping'an just wanted to read the content of the imperial edict and make a preliminary judgment on Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards him.
"Haha, Lord Zhu, you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. In that case, I will satisfy you." The captain of the Jinyiwei in the bright red flying fish uniform sneered, then took out a folded document from his arms and threw it to Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an reached out to catch it but failed, and the document fell to the ground, causing the Jinyiwei to laugh at him.
Zhu Ping'an disagreed. He bent down to pick up the official document from the ground, stood up and unfolded it to read it carefully. The content of the document was very simple: Zhu Ping'an has failed to live up to my expectations, and I order the Jinyiwei to temporarily detain him in prison until the officials find out the truth and then make their decision.
After reading the document, Zhu Ping'an pursed his lips and revealed a smile.
Temporarily detained in prison... Wait for the officials to find out the truth... Then make a decision... These words in the official document seem harsh, but in fact they leave a lot of room for maneuver. For example, the word "temporary" in "temporarily detained in prison" is very representative, which means that the imprisonment is only temporary. So, Emperor Jiajing was angry, but he was not furious.
In this way, Zhu Ping'an felt more at ease.
This pretty boy is actually still smiling, is he scared out of his wits? ! The Jinyiwei saw the curve of Zhu Ping'an's mouth and couldn't help but criticize him maliciously.
"Zhu Ping'an, you have also read the official document, what else do you have to say?"
The Jinyiwei in the bright red flying fish uniform narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Ping'an, like a cat playing with a mouse, and said mischievously.
"I'm only temporarily detained in jail. Don't worry, I'll be fine." Zhu Ping'an turned his head and comforted Li Shu softly, then turned to look at the Jinyiwei in red flying fish uniforms, pointed at Liu Dadao and Liu Dachui, "You don't have to do anything, I'll go with you. But please release those who are not related to me."
"Sir, don't worry about us."
"We will be with you and can protect you in prison."
Liu Dachui and Liu Dadao shouted in succession.
Zhu Pingan shook his head. He was an official appointed by the imperial court. He thought that without the order of the Supreme Being, the Jinyiwei would not dare to do anything to him. However, Liu Dadao and Liu Dachui were not in a good situation. They had just stopped the Jinyiwei and injured several people. If they were imprisoned, the Jinyiwei would not know how to retaliate against them.
“Zhu Ping’an, who do you think you are? You can’t even save yourself, and you still want to manage others?! Ha…” The Jinyiwei in the big red flying fish uniform looked at Zhu Ping’an gloomily with a sneer on his face.
