Chapter 76 Cooking Crane Walk (5)

"Mr. Lai, please forgive me for not daring to take this big case without authorization!"

The surrounding guards rushed up and dragged down the bloodless assassins. After the screams disappeared, Bai Yousi, who was sitting still, calmly surrendered to Lai Zhan'er.

"Why?" Jiang Du, who had a swollen face and a huge waist, stayed behind and was furious for a while. "I told you to come to fight the autumn wind, and then I ran over thousands of miles eagerly, telling you to do what you were supposed to do, but put on a face. Is this how Jing'antai handles things? No wonder the officials and people in Yangzijin wanted you to leave. Jump up!"

Bai Yousi finally chuckled, but he ignored Lai Zhan'er, and instead turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaoming: "Mr. Zhou, as the saying goes, Zhou never leaves, never leaves Zhou, can you please stay safe and don't be impatient, let us How about a few words for the junior who just arrived?"

The majestic Lai Zhan'er became more and more angry, astonishing like a king of heaven, but after the thin Zhou Xiaoming raised his hand to block it, he calmed down again, and the latter also bowed his hands to Bai Yousi seriously and replied: "Bai patrol inspector, everyone! They are all officials appointed by the imperial court, and no one here will not allow others to speak based on their age, official position, or cultivation."

Lai Zhan'er was not annoyed, instead he sneered, sat back in his chair, picked up the undrinked drink and drank it down in one gulp.

"That's good." Seeing this, Bai Yousi immediately wanted to speak, but was suddenly stunned, and then shook his head slightly. "Forget it, let my subordinates talk to Duke Zhou and Duke Lai."

All the brocade clothes were stunned for a moment, Hu Yan and others all went to see Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing was also stunned for a moment, but he came to his senses in an instant. He stepped forward and cupped his hands towards the two big figures in front of him: "Duke Zhou, Duke Lai... Your subordinate Zhang Xing, who is patrolling the white ribbons of Jing'an Terrace, dare not talk nonsense, just use Talk about things."

"Say it."

Zhou Xiaoming, who was standing in the hall, was not as polite to Zhang Xing as he was to Bai Yousi. He just supported the saber just brought by the guard with one hand, and slightly raised the other hand, obviously urging him.

"It's like this. Since ancient times, whether it's the Jing'antai brocade patrol cavalry of this dynasty, the Wei'antai of the previous dynasty, or the Ti cavalry beside the Baidi Lord, there have been rules passed down. The most famous , is the rule of three avoiding silence, which means that when encountering a case, there are three situations, and our special case patrols can't handle it, but should avoid and keep silent..." Zhang Xing waved three fingers, speaking earnestly. "It's a coincidence that today's matter actually accounts for all three."

Lai Zhaner on the first seat was a little surprised, Zhou Xiaoming, who was standing in the hall after a few cases, was skeptical, Governor Zhao of Beiya, and Cheng Xie Juncheng were slightly curious, and the governor of Taidong, Jing'an, who was standing next to him with his hands tied Liao En, Zhu Shou, the company's accompanying capital, began to doubt life - he has only been in Jiangdu for three years, why can't he understand Dongdu dialect?
But if you look around, you can see that this guy is not talking about the truth, and below the inspector Bai, the twenty or so people are all lined up neatly, with awe-inspiring expressions... Could it be that he is really old and has forgotten these things?

"The first one is that the imperial order will not change." Not to mention Liao Zhushou's wild thoughts, on the other hand, Zhang Xing has already continued to talk. "This meaning is easy to understand. There are missions for patrolling to go out. Regardless of the difficulty or difficulty of the mission, they all come out as imperial orders. Of course, you can take care of other cases, but you must arrange the duties of the imperial order. Sure... But now, we haven't seen the supplementary food paid by the Zhuzhou counties in Jiangdong, and we haven't even got the promise from Zhuzhou counties, how dare we intervene in other cases so easily?"

At this point, Zhang Xingfu looked at Bai Yousi who was looking at him in a daze: "Inspection, if I remember correctly, I fled back from Luolongtan at the beginning of this year, carried the corpse on my back, and killed four or five people to rob me." The bandits of the boots, you led all of you to face that case, determined to pursue me to the end, you should have completed the patrol order first, and assigned Li Twelve Lang to report back to the east, right?"

Bai Yousi immediately responded seriously: "That's right."

The rest of the many qualified patrol riders also nodded their heads.

Zhou Xiaoming, the deputy staying behind, pursed his lips, and looked at Zhan'er helplessly, but unexpectedly, Zhan'er stared at the eloquent Jing'antai Zhang Baishou instead.

"The second one is immediate response."

Zhang Xing didn't care about Lai Zhan'er's eyes, and continued to speak with lotus flowers.

"This one is even simpler. It is almost common in the officialdom and everyone understands the truth. It is about the suspicious cases that you have no clue when you are new, or you suddenly encounter a suspicious case. You must not take it without authorization, so as not to become someone else's knife... And This one is especially deadly for Jinyi Patrollers, because Jinyi Patrollers have both the right to temporary arrest and the right to kill on the spot, as well as the Black Tower Prison. Once they are used by others, a hasty intervention will often cause irreversible consequences ...Many unjust prisons were caused by this, and it was found out later that it could only be that way."

As he said that, Zhang Xing cupped his hands slightly: "Duke Zhou, Mr. Lai, please put yourself in your shoes and think about it. From the point of view of us patrolling cavalry, isn't today's case too coincidental?"

Lai Zhan'er still stared at Zhang Xing, but Zhou Xiaoming wanted to speak for a while, and Bai Yousi was also thinking about it, and was going to use these official words to gag the other party's mouth before speaking.

But Zhang Sanlang didn't give everyone this chance to speak: "But the first two are nothing, especially Lai Gong and Zhou Gong are one, and they are the confidants of the saints. We people have suffered a lot of grievances because of these two. What kind of fart is that? The key is the third iron law... Party disputes do not matter!"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiaoming's complexion changed slightly, and he took a step forward to stare. "This Zhang Baishou might as well speak clearly!"

"Then the official said it as clearly as possible."

In the face of a Zhu Guo, deputy left behind, and actually a super high-ranking official who was likely to assume the real left behind duties, Zhang Xing was not afraid at all, and even raised his voice an octave.

"What is the Jinyi Patrol? It is the saint's pro-army, the royal minion, and the central eagle dog. Except for Zhongzhi and Zhongcheng Junling, we can take care of everything...the so-called Ministry of Punishment and Beiya. We can take care of it. We can manage what we can’t manage with the Bei Yamen. What we do is life and death, prisons, and imprisonment! To put it bluntly, it is acting as a spy under the imperial power! But the more this is the case, the more there are two big taboos One is to face the superiors, not to take a step beyond the threshold, and participate in the royal family's political struggle; the other is to face the subordinates, since they are in charge of the imperial power, they should not easily participate in court party struggles and local internal strife, which will make people misunderstand the emperor's intentions and be biased !"

"The people here are all loyal to the saints, where are the party disputes and infighting?!" Zhou Xiaoming's complexion turned pale, but Lai Zhaner's expression turned pale. "Who would be partial to the emperor's will?"

"Then I won't save face if I become an official." Zhang Xing pointed at the dead Liu Jing. "The real power and dignitaries in Jiangdu are nothing more than the principal and deputy staying behind, the governor of Beiya, the imperial governor, Zhu Shou, the accompanying capital of Jing'an Taidong Town Fusi, and this person... In addition to this person, Zilaigong and below, They are all old people from Nanchen, right?!"

"Zhang Baishou is so bold." Zhou Xiaoming finally spoke again, but only replied coldly in a low voice. "You shouldn't be wronged because of Yangzijin's affairs, so you can speculate on the situation."

"We didn't want to guess, it was Lai Gong and Zhou Gongfei who asked us to investigate, and if we came to investigate, the first one would only think of this joint!" Zhang Xing ignored the scolding from the deputy left behind, just looked around the few people in the hall. dignitaries. "Everyone is so persecuted, do you want us, a group of Jinyi patrolmen who came to escort the food, to stand in this left-behind lobby and ask the princes of Jiangdu... Is this Jiangdu City the Jiangdu of the Great Wei, or the Jiangdu of Nanchen...? !"

The whole hall was silent, Lai Zhan'er twirled his beards without moving, Zhao Dugong and the others looked pale and held hands together without saying a word, while Zhou Xiaoming clenched his saber tightly.

But at this moment, Bai Yousi suddenly poured himself a glass of wine calmly, and the wine poured into the glass, attracting everyone to watch.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lai." When the female inspector saw everyone watching, she smiled and held her glass. "Don't get me wrong, Zhang Baishou made it very clear that we didn't want to investigate, but came here to ask us to investigate... How can you scold us for 'if we come to investigate'? Let's do this for now, wait two Let’s stay behind and think about it before we speak.”

Zhou Xiaoming came to his senses, bowed his head and smiled awkwardly, let go of his hands, and cupped his hands slightly: "Niece Xian is right, you are here to wait for the food, and the emperor's order will be dealt with first, and we will investigate this matter ourselves first."

"Then take my leave first." Bai Yousi didn't rush, stood up respectfully and returned the salute, and also saluted Lai Zhan'er, and then wanted to leave the mansion with his sword.

Zhang Xing and the others quickly turned around and prepared to follow.

"Wait a minute." At this moment, Lai Zhan'er suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Lai?" Bai Yousi folded his body and saluted, making a gesture of asking for instructions in the blood-stained lobby.

"Wait a minute." Lai Zhan'er got up from his seat, came back to the hall, and said as he walked. "If you don't want to investigate the case, you don't want to investigate it. It doesn't matter... It's Bai Shou, surnamed Zhang, you come forward."

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then instinctively turned around and took a few steps forward, and when he raised his head, his spine suddenly felt chills.

It turned out that Zhan'er was huge in stature and gifted, and it was only when he stood in front of him that he realized that the opponent was like a giant. In addition, the opponent was a well-known general and master in the world, and he was about to become a master. Laman... To put it in an extreme word, I was sitting next to me just now, relying on my mother's skin, and bragging about it, which angered others. If the other party is condescending at this time, they don't care about anything, and just slap him. Hongni, can there be help?

But running away at this time is useless, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xing went all out and bowed his hands in salute: "Mr. Lai."

Lai Zhan'er actually reached out to pat Zhang Xing, but he just patted Zhang Xing's shoulder without even using his true energy: "What did you say your name was?"

"Zhang Xing." Zhang Xing made up his mind, as long as he didn't shoot him to death.

"Where are you from?"

"Northern people."

"Born as a demon guard?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing gritted his teeth and nodded as he thought of the documents he had read.

"You said you escaped from Luolongtan at the beginning of this year?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing was even more determined.

"What army, or which one?"

"The middle base, it should have turned their shots later..." Zhang Xing tried hard to recall.

"Are you the only one who escaped back?" Lai Zhaner's tone became more gentle. "What's the matter with carrying the corpse?"

"A group of 50 people, I have forgotten how many days I have been fighting, and I have forgotten how many people have died. In the end, only one partner escaped together." Zhang Xing raised his head and answered blankly. "But that partner also died later, and he was promised to be buried in Hongshan before he died."

Lai Zhan'er suddenly realized, and then sighed: "I am sorry for you for the matter of Luolongtan, but at that time Yang Shen rebelled, and I really had no choice... I made a big mistake when I conquered Dongyi; Yi, I am so powerless... Zhang Xing, I think you are a good man with integrity and generosity, why don't you come to our army, a captain always has a future."

Zhang Xing shook his head: "When I came back from Luolongtan and hid from the rain in the temple, Xiaguan had an idea that I would never throw my life in a useless place... I can risk my life to do things, but Zheng Things like Dongyi have to wait for me to see clearly."

"I'm not forcing you either." Lai Zhan'er nodded, then turned around and shouted. "Take 100 taels of silver and two bolts of brocade, and send them over."

Zhang Xing didn't hold back, and directly cupped his hands: "It's kind of my father's intention, but I'm alone, with no family and no house, and I would like to turn it into a reward of the same class."

"Okay." Lai Zhan'er turned around again. "Twelve taels of silver per person, and a piece of brocade, sent to the palace to impress the patrol riders in brocade clothes, and also to wash the dust."

All the patrolling riders hurriedly handed over.

"You don't need to thank me, it's what you all asked for." Lai Zhan'er said, stepped on the mess on the ground, and turned to go out.

All the scouts also got up, hurriedly followed Bai Yousi out of this place of right and wrong.

When I went outside, there was no sound.

On the way to the palace, Hu Yan finally couldn't help lowering his voice and asked: "On the theory of avoiding silence, which ancient book did Zhang Sanlang read?"

In the twilight, Zhang Xing glanced at the other party, seeing the serious face on the other party's face, he didn't even have the nerve to say it.

But Qin Bao couldn't help laughing from behind:
"Actually, Third Brother Zhang didn't read it from a specific book, but summed it up by himself. Before coming here, he was ready to present it to the Black Tower."

Hu Yan was taken aback.

And Zhang Xing also nodded again and again.

On the other hand, Qian Tang and Li Qingchen didn't know the basics, but their teeth were sore.

While talking, the crowd had already reached the palace, so they dismounted and entered the Forbidden Army Garrison, but before they had time to rest, Bai Yousifu suddenly sent an order to Hu Yan and the elite core team members to go to a place in the center of the Garrison There is a little discussion on the building.

Zhang Xing was naturally among them, and he was questioned without hesitation.

"Zhang San, where do you come from to be so bold to say such things?" When he came to this place, Bai Yousi was furious. "Aren't you afraid that Duke Zhou will chop you with a knife?"

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, and simply smiled in a low voice: "Of course it's the courage given by the inspection."

Bai Yousi shook his head again and again, and asked again: "Leaving aside your reasonable nonsense, what do you think of the case?"

"How can I see it?" Zhang Xing smiled wryly. "I have ten times more experience in inspections and handling cases... If you have to ask me, of course it is possible to kill with a knife, kill two birds with one stone, some people are scheming, it is internal strife, and it is a slap in the face, but it may also be a coincidence, just a hasty assassination !Since time immemorial, the best intrigue is accident, because accidents cannot be avoided.”

"That's right, the case was found out." Hu Yan agreed. "However, I really think what Zhang Sanlang said makes sense and is a good place."

"It is true that we must seek truth from facts, and we may not let go of anything, but where are there so many conspiracies and tricks?" Qian Tang, who did not talk much today, finally opened his mouth weakly. "If you ask me, there are many True Fire Sects in the southeast, and they have gradually become unstable over the years. Among the True Fire Sects, there are also the most female masters."

Bai Yousi nodded: "I've seen that female assassin's technique before...so keep her hand...it really looks like the way of the True Fire Sect."

"So, shall we take care of this?" Zhang Xing suddenly asked under the lamp.

"It's better to wait a moment." Qian Tang continued. "Sooner or later, this matter will fall into our hands. Let the Liushou Mansion come to beg us and give us power..."

Quite a few people agree.

"I'm afraid that what Zhang Sanlang said was too much, and the Liushou Mansion dare not look for us." Li Qingchen also muttered.

Several people also nodded.

"Since you are a Jinyi inspection team, not to mention that the law enforcement is like a mountain, but you should always have a firm foundation. Such a big case is right in front of you, so how can you ignore it?" At this moment, Bai Yousi raised his eyebrows and looked around. "Today Zhang Sanlang was asked to speak out, just to avoid falling into a trap and becoming someone else's knife. But since he successfully escaped and frightened Jiangdu's dignitaries, he must personally investigate and find out. No matter who dares to use us , or ignore us, you have to know how to pay with your life! What do you think?"

Below Hu Yan, Qian Tang, Li Qingchen, Zhang Xing, Qin Bao, and many other elites surrendered together.

But after Zhang Xing surrendered, Fu laughed dumbfounded again—it seemed that he didn't need to make up a three-must-regulate rule again.

PS: Good night and happy weekend everyone.
