"Bullshit! Just because a few people died in the Imperial Capital, you officials from the Ministry of Justice dared to go to Luyuan to arrest the captain of the Imperial Guards. Do you know what Luyuan is? Do you know that the Imperial Guards are the personal army of His Majesty? Whose orders did you follow to arrest people? Who gave you the courage? Do you think that you don't even care about His Majesty because you have someone to back you up..."
Before he reached Eunuch Liu's yard, Yan Liqiang heard Eunuch Liu's voice coming from the room in the yard, sharp, high-pitched, and full of anger.
Since the first day he met Eunuch Liu, Yan Liqiang had never seen him so angry.
"Eunuch Liu, please calm down. We are not arresting people randomly, but what happened in the city last night was really serious. Six people died at once. Many of these six people were guards of several ministers in the court, and they all held official positions. They all died at once. This is such a big thing that we really need to explain..." another voice responded calmly.
"Explanation, what explanation? Today, Zhang San died in the Imperial Capital and you came here to arrest our captain. Tomorrow, Li Si died in the Imperial Capital. Will you also come to arrest us? If a few more people died the day after tomorrow, will you even dare to rush into the palace? There has been no one who died inexplicably in the Imperial Capital every year. If you are so capable, why don't you solve those cases that have been suppressed for decades..."
"We already have a witness who has named Captain Yan in Luyuan as the murderer of the major case in the city. Captain Yan did go to the Imperial Capital yesterday, so we followed the rules and came here to bring him to the city for questioning. These are all signed and signed by the Ministry of Justice. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself..."
"Of course we have to check!" Eunuch Liu snorted coldly, "Xiao Chunzi, bring it to me and look carefully to see if there are any flaws. If there is any flaw, we will prevent them from leaving the gate of Luyuan today..."
"Eunuch, Captain Yan is here..." Little Lizi stopped at the door and reported first.
"Let Captain Yan in!" Eunuch Liu's voice came from the room.
Yan Liqiang nodded to Xiao Lizi, then walked calmly into the yard and went straight into the room.
Eunuch Liu was sitting in the main seat in the room, his face as gloomy as water. Xiao Chunzi was standing aside, carefully examining several documents in his hands. In the room, there were three people in official uniforms. One of them was in his 40s, with a long face, slanted eyes, thin lips, and a goat-like beard. He looked a bit like Li Yong, the CCTV host that Yan Liqiang had seen on TV in his previous life. This person was wearing a scarlet official robe representing the fourth rank, and was sitting in the guest seat on the left side of the entrance to the room. Behind this person, on both sides, there were two people in their thirties, carrying knives, with a calm aura, and wearing criminal uniforms.
As soon as Yan Liqiang came in, everyone's eyes in the room were focused on him. Except for Eunuch Liu and Xiao Chunzi, who had already seen Yan Liqiang, the other three people who saw Yan Liqiang for the first time were stunned. It seemed that they did not expect Yan Liqiang to be so young. Before they came, they thought that Yan Liqiang was a burly man, but they never expected him to be a handsome young man.
"Yan Liqiang greets Eunuch Liu..." Yan Liqiang walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to Eunuch Liu as if he didn't see the other three people.
"Li Qiang, this is Doctor Chen from the Ministry of Justice. Doctor Chen said that you killed someone in the Imperial Capital yesterday. Is this true?"
"My Lord, although I went into the city yesterday, I only visited a friend and had dinner with him. There were witnesses throughout the whole process. After dinner, because it was too late, I left Dijing City and returned to Luyuan. I did not kill anyone in the city. Those who say that I killed someone are definitely slandering me. I ask my Lord to help me and clear my name!" Yan Liqiang said calmly to Eunuch Liu.
"Don't worry, the people in our Imperial Mabu Division are not so easy to bully!" Eunuch Liu said gloomily and glanced at Xiao Chunzi who was checking the documents. However, Xiao Chunzi shook her head slightly at Eunuch Liu, meaning that she did not find any mistakes in the signed documents.
"Eunuch Liu, can we take Captain Yan away now?" Doctor Chen from the Ministry of Justice asked.
"Wait a minute, I have a few more questions to ask!" Eunuch Liu looked at Doctor Chen coldly, then turned his head and stared at Yan Liqiang, "You said you went to the city to eat last night, where did you eat and who did you eat with?"
"Yesterday, I was invited in the city to have dinner in Liulitian with Zhang Yourong, the head of Qianji Hall of Lingshan Sect, and Yao Guanshi of Dijing Branch of Lingshan Sect. I ate until the end of Tianwaitian and then left Tianwaitian. After leaving Tianwaitian, I saw that it was getting late and the city gate was about to close, so I left the city and went straight back to Luyuan without staying in the city. The people of Lingshan Sect and the shopkeepers and clerks of Tianwaitian can testify to this process. Moreover, I was in Luyuan last night, and my father-in-law also knows it!" Yan Liqiang said calmly.
The head of the Qianji Hall of Lingshan Sect is no unknown person. When he heard Yan Liqiang talking about how he had dinner with the world's number one mechanism master of Lingshan Sect at Tianwai Tian in Dijing City last night, not only Eunuch Liu did not expect it, but even Doctor Chen from the Ministry of Justice was also surprised. Doctor Chen's hand, which had just been placed flat on his knee, suddenly tightened. He turned his head to look at the two detectives beside him. The two detectives were also a little stunned, as if they had not received such news before.
Unlike Chen Lang who felt nervous, Eunuch Liu raised his eyebrows and was shocked when he heard the news.
"You are so young, why does the leader of the Qianji Hall of Lingshan Sect want to invite you to dinner?" Doctor Chen immediately asked with narrowed eyes.
Yan Liqiang turned his head and looked at Doctor Chen for a few times. All the thoughts in Doctor Chen's head were known to Yan Liqiang at once. Yan Liqiang's eyes turned cold, but a smile appeared on his face. "My lord, you only need to know what time I was in the city last night, who I was with, and where I appeared. As for the other things, why Lingshan Sect invited me to dinner, what is the relationship between Master Zhang and me, it has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with the case you mentioned, you don't need to know!"
"You..." Doctor Chen from the Ministry of Justice's face changed instantly, but he couldn't get angry...
Seeing Yan Liqiang like this, Eunuch Liu admired Yan Liqiang even more, and nodded secretly in his heart. This kind of character with clear likes and dislikes was exactly what he wanted to see. If Yan Liqiang softened as soon as he saw the other party's identity at this time, how could such a person be trusted and used in the future? The more Yan Liqiang treated the people from the Ministry of Justice at this time, the more determined Eunuch Liu was to keep Yan Liqiang.
"Is the leader Zhang of Lingshan Sect still in the Imperial Capital City now?" Eunuch Liu asked Yan Liqiang in a warm tone.
"Before leaving Tianwai Tian last night, Hall Master Zhang told me that he would stay in Imperial Capital for a while, so Hall Master Zhang should still be in Imperial Capital these days, staying at the Imperial Capital Villa of Lingshan Sect! Eunuch Liu, you can ask someone to verify it. I believe that Hall Master Zhang and his men know about my situation, and they will definitely be willing to come out and testify for me!"
"Don't worry, Li Qiang. I will go to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice with you today! We want to see who is slandering you and making false accusations. If you want to sue someone, don't you think I will sue them?" At this point, Eunuch Liu stood up and said, "Li Qiang, come with me in the carriage to the Ministry of Justice now. I will support you..."
"Eunuch Liu..." Doctor Chen from the Ministry of Justice also stood up, his face gloomy, "It may not be appropriate for Captain Yan to go to the Ministry of Justice like this. Please hand Captain Yan over to us. We want to take him away!"
"This lord is a doctor of the Ministry of Justice. Is your brain full of shit? As a doctor of the Ministry of Justice, don't you even know how many articles and clauses there are in the Great Han Law?" Yan Liqiang pointed at Doctor Chen of the Ministry of Justice and cursed him. "I am a lieutenant of the Imperial Mabu Division of the Imperial Capital of the Great Han Empire. I am an officer. I have not been convicted yet. The document signed by the Ministry of Justice is only for interrogation, not arrest. I am only being questioned in the Ministry of Justice. What law of the Great Han Empire tells you that you can escort an officer of the Imperial Mabu Division who has not been convicted and has not escaped or resisted to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation?"
"Haha, Li Qiang said it well. Some people are so used to being other people's dogs that they can't even recognize human characters. They can't even recognize whose law this Han Law is!" Eunuch Liu turned around and gave Doctor Chen a cold look, then pulled Yan Liqiang out of the main hall...
Doctor Chen's face turned pale and blue for a while, but he finally gritted his teeth and followed him out...
