Main Text Chapter 460: Overdoing Something
Now that they knew that the six girls had been kidnapped by the Dudu Mansion, the first reaction of several people was naturally to go to the Dudu Mansion to check, and then turned around to enter the Dudu Mansion again.
Unexpectedly, the monks guarding the mountain gate stopped them, but they also knew that these people's identities were to be summoned by the emperor's envoys, so they were not embarrassed and reminded: "This is the entrance of the Ministry of Rites. If you want to find those who have been arrested for committing crimes, you should go to the Ministry of Punishments." side."
Several people immediately went down the mountain again. Since Lin Pingping's contacts in the capital were limited, Miao Yi went straight to the Chamber of Commerce and found Luo Ping.
Luo Ping was also shocked after hearing the news. It is taboo for monks to kill believers everywhere. Believers are the source of the monks' power in the world. What's more, if a crime committed in the capital fell into the hands of the Governor's Mansion, the consequences can be imagined. .
Especially when he got into trouble with the Huyan family, which was the largest family in the Immortal Kingdom. It wasn’t that this family was terrible. No matter how powerful the secular family was, it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the monks. The key was the person behind this family, the Immortal. Huyan Taibao, the first disciple of Saint Mu Fanjun, has a status second only to the Immortal Saint in the Immortal Kingdom, one person is inferior to ten thousand people!
"Wait a moment, I'll go find a senior for help." Luo Ping said nothing and returned to the Chamber of Commerce.
Not long after, an old man with white beard and hair was invited to come out. He had a red rosy nose. Miao Yi also knew this man. He was the Hua Ye who had appraised the fine wines and jade liquids in Zhenhai Mountain. Miao Yi immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Miao Yi has met Mr. Hua!"
"You are really a brat! The people below you are so courageous, they even dare to kill people from the Huyan family!" Master Hua clicked his tongue and shook his head, waving his hand and saying, "Let's go! Go and check the situation before we talk."
Several people immediately followed him around to the back of Yudu Peak. Master Hua was obviously very familiar with the people from the Punishment Department. After a while, they led Miao Yi and others through the entrance of the Criminal Department, while Yan Xiu and Zhao Fei's men stayed outside the mountain gate. The Ministry of Justice is not a wet market where it is difficult to go in and have a lot of people wandering around.
When they arrived at the Yamen of the Punishment Department of the Dudu Mansion, Mr. Hua's connections came into play and he led several people to directly meet Pu Yigong, the chief judge of the Punishment Department. Otherwise, Luo Ping would not have been able to meet him because of his reputation.
It was obvious that Mr. Hua and Pu Yigong had a good relationship. After meeting for a while, they found out that the interrogation was over. During the interrogation, the six women said that Hu Yanshou had molested them first, but Hu Yanshou refused to admit it and only said that they bumped into each other accidentally. That’s all. There was too much inside information for Judge Pu to tell Mr. Hua more.
"Now that the interrogation is over, can we always tell the result?" asked Mr. Hua, who was sitting on a chair with a cup of tea. Miao Yi and others stood behind him.
Judge Pu laughed and said: "Laohua, I won't lie to you. The matter involves the Huyan family, and I can't make the decision without permission. I need to ask the governor to make a decision. The result will naturally come after the governor makes a decision. Wait for the news Bar."
As soon as these words came out. Because the choice was so obvious, Sikong Wuwei couldn't hold back his fiery temper immediately, and said with an annoyed look: "It seems like it's good to have a background."
Judge Pu didn't like hearing this anymore and came over with a cold look, "Are you thinking that the Dudu Mansion's law enforcement is unfair? If you have a background, you can bring it out and see if you can change the verdict of the Dudu Mansion!"
"Shut up!" Hua Ye turned around and yelled at Sikong Wuwei with angry eyes. Zhao Fei also pulled Sikong Wuwei and secretly sent a message to tell him. Now is not the time to lose your temper.
Hua Ye turned around and smiled at Judge Pu again: "Don't lose your temper. Don't you want to ask the Grand Governor for instructions? Go back quickly. We are waiting for you here."
Judge Pu picked up the tea cup with a smile, looked at Miao Yi and others with a half-smile but said, "Are these guys all back from Xingxiu Sea?"
Hua Ye rolled his eyes and seemed to understand what he meant. He turned around and asked, "Ordinary people can't enter here. It's your blessing to be able to listen to Judge Pu here to answer your questions. If you come back from Xingxiu Sea, you won't be able to get in here." Bring something for Judge Pu to see?"
Anyone who is not a fool can understand what Mr. Hua’s reminder means. This is an open request for bribes!
Miao Yi immediately reached out and touched a storage ring, took it out, and brought it to Judge Pu, "There are some gadgets in here, Judge Pu, keep it for appreciation."
Pu Yigong took it in his hand and took a look, and found that there was a set of second-grade armor inside, which was worth a lot of money, so he accepted it with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Since it is your heart, then I will keep it for appreciation. appreciate."
Miao Yi said with a smile: "The master of the second hall of Yuexing Palace Town is the sworn elder brother of the younger generation. He also regards these girls as his own sisters. These girls have never been in prison. Please take care of me, Lord Judge. I will definitely ask my elder brother later." Come and thank me personally.”
Now it doesn't matter whether Huo Lingxiao is useful or not. If he can be used, move him out first, so that several girls will not suffer in prison. He had previously thought that if it didn't work out, he would find a way to get Huo Lingxiao to come over. Huo Lingxiao had been the master of the palace for so many years, so he must have some connections in the capital.
Pu Yigong was a little startled and said in surprise: "Huo Lingxiao is your sworn brother?"
Not to mention him, even Mr. Hua and others were a little surprised.
"Yes!" Miao Yi nodded and smiled.
"Huo Lingxiao and I are acquaintances, and we have had drinks together several times." Pu Yigong stood up and said, "You guys just wait here, I will go and see the Governor and then come back."
Unexpectedly, the other party actually knew Huo Lingxiao. Miao Yi immediately held up his hands and said, "Thank you, Judge!"
There is a pavilion outside the Dudu's Mansion, with the word "floating world" written on a plaque on the pavilion.
In the Ukiyo Pavilion, there is a man with a purple gold crown in his hair, a wide purple robe with gold patterns, and a jade belt around his waist. His face is dignified, his eyes are shining deeply under his two sword-shaped eyebrows, his nose is like a gallbladder, his lips are red and his face is cold, his eyes are like an eagle. Shilanggu is very heroic, has a good appearance, and has extraordinary momentum.
This person is Lanhou, the Grand Governor of the Governor's Mansion. He is rolling up his sleeves and splashing ink on a few pieces of paper weighted white paper. A landscape painting appears on the paper. The painting is the landscape capital city under Yudu Peak. , has profound painting skills and profound artistic conception in his paintings.
Two pretty maids were accompanying him. One was polishing ink, and the other turned to look at the rendering of the brush in Lan Hou's hand.
Pu Yigong, the chief judge of the Ministry of Punishment, arrived and was about to pay his respects. A maid turned around and made a silence gesture. Pu Yigong immediately stopped outside the pavilion and waited.
However, Lan Hou took the initiative and asked without looking back, "What's the matter?"
Pu Yigong came in and reported: "Something happened at the foot of the mountain. Several monks killed several of Hu Yanshou's men."
"Hu Yanshou? That dandy of the Hu Yan family?" Lan Hou asked.
Even he knows Hu Yanshou's name, which shows that Hu Yanshou is indeed a playboy.
"Exactly!" Pu Yigong replied.
"Who is so bold and dares to touch the Huyan family?"
"It's just a few maids! It happens that these maids are none other than the people who returned from Xingxiu Sea and were about to be summoned by the emperor's envoy..." Pu Yigong gave a general report of the situation and the case, and finally said: "It is true that the on-site evidence collection was It was proved that Hu Yanshou was rude first, but later the witnesses said they were wrong, and the situation was not good for those maids. Because the matter involved the Hu Yan family, the subordinates did not dare to make any independent decisions, so they asked the governor to make a decision. !”
Lanhou said calmly: "I just killed a few scoundrels who were doing no good. I don't expect these idle people to contribute any will. I just died, but I saved a few disasters. Let the maids go, don't miss it." Those people will meet with the envoy. As for Hu Yanshou, he will be imprisoned for ten years. Anyway, his family is rich, and you can consider releasing him after you have collected the gifts."
He never restricts his subordinates from accepting gifts, but he has a principle. Gifts can be accepted with confidence and boldness, but if the recipient does not do anything for the person who gave the gift, he will not let anyone use power for personal gain.
"Ten years in prison?" Pu Yigong was somewhat surprised. Mortals are not monks and can live for several decades. He immediately asked: "The person behind the Huyan family is Taibao Huyan. Will it make Taibao Huyan unhappy?"
Lan Hou kept writing in his hand and snorted coldly: "Huyan Taibao has hundreds and thousands of descendants, all over the twelve capitals. Can he worry about it? I took the trouble to help him discipline his descendants. He should thank me. He still has Don’t worry about a descendant who is separated by who knows how many generations. Just do it. If Huyan Taibao really comes forward, I will report it to the envoy and let him take care of it!"
"Yes!" Pu Yigong bowed his hands and accepted the order.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard Lan Hou ask calmly: "What happened not long ago, why can you come so quickly to tell me, do those few people who are visiting the emperor also have a chance to find you?"
He is not stupid to be able to sit here. With the power of the Huyan family, his subordinates can find him so quickly to ask for justice. This is not giving the Huyan family face. Someone from the other side must have come forward.
Pu Yigong froze and did not dare to hide anything when asked. He smiled stiffly and said: "The Governor has a sharp eye for discernment. In fact, no one is looking for me. Even the drunkard surnamed Hua from the Chamber of Commerce is someone you know. He often talks to his subordinates." Drinking together. The other one is Miao Yi, who is famous on the list. His sworn brother is the master of the Yi Palace of Yuexing Palace Town, and he also has contacts with his subordinates. Although he is an acquaintance, he has not gained any respect. "Private and public."
"Yuexing Palace controls the second hall?" Lan Hou finally stopped the painting brush in his hand, slowly looked back at him and asked: "Huo Lingxiao?"
Pu Yigong was stunned. He didn't expect that the Governor also knew about Huo Lingxiao, so he immediately replied: "That's him!"
Lan Hou turned around, put the pen in his hand on the inkstone, slowly dipped the ink on the side, and said calmly: "I will keep those maids for the time being, and I will also lock up the three guys who are famous on the list."
Pu Yigong was stunned and didn't know why this was happening. He couldn't help but ask: "May I ask the governor, on what charges should they be imprisoned?"
Lan Hou said expressionlessly: "Let the servant commit the crime! In addition, send a message to Yuexing Palace Town Yi Palace and ask Huo Lingxiao to come to the governor of this capital in person!"
Pu Yigong was speechless and could only accept the order and leave...
When he returned to his yamen, there were already several people behind him.
Seeing him come back, Hua Ye noticed that his expression was not right, so he stood up and asked, "What's going on?"
Unexpectedly, Pu Yigong raised his hand with a straight face, pointed at Miao Yi, Zhao Fei, and Sikong Wuwei, and shouted: "Catch them!"
Several people behind them immediately rushed to the three of them, grabbed the arms of Miao Yi and the others, and controlled the three of them who were inexplicably caught off guard. (To be continued...)
