Chapter 45 We are arresting you
"Stop it! Who are you? How dare you come to Bai'an County and act so recklessly?"
Hearing that Zhou Yuan was about to be tortured, Shen Yu pushed open the door of the government office and strode in. He really wanted to know who was so bold as to bark in his territory?
Sitting in the main hall was a middle-aged man wearing a police chief's uniform and an iron plate on his waist. He should be the iron plate police chief of the police sect. However, this iron plate police chief had a big belly, which was very different from what Shen Yu remembered.
But think about it, that's the head of the state police, naturally they are all elites. Not all the police are like this, it's not surprising that there are some ugly people occasionally.
"Sir!" When Zhou Yuan, who was being held by several people, saw Shen Yu, he was delighted at first, but then panicked. "Sir, please leave! These people are framing you! Please leave!"
"Bullshit! I am a well-known and dignified chief constable. I am impartial and selfless. How could I frame others? Everything I said has real evidence!"
With an angry shout, the middle-aged captain looked at Shen Yu coldly, his face full of mockery. "You are Shen Yu, the county magistrate of Bai'an County. Your crime has been exposed. As a county magistrate, you not only colluded with the bandits, but also levied heavy taxes and oppressed the good people in Bai'an County. All these actions have been proven to be conclusive. Do you admit your guilt?"
"Get down! Is that the place where you should sit?" The answer he got was not a trembling plea for mercy, but an ice-cold shout.
"I told you to get down!" Before the middle-aged captain could react, the cold voice rang in his ears again. At the same time, Shen Yu's figure was already beside him, and a hand appeared and reached out to him.
Just this slight movement, in his eyes, seemed like an unreachable mountain pressing down on him, making him feel extremely powerless. Before they even started fighting, he was already completely defeated in terms of momentum, which made him furious.
"Master!" This was the only thought in the middle-aged captain's mind. Then a terrible force came and directly knocked him away. The middle-aged captain fell to the ground in a mess and rolled several times before stopping.
Arrogant, so damn arrogant! He had been stationed in Changling County for many years, and had never seen such an arrogant county magistrate. It was also the first time that he made someone so embarrassed!
"Shen Yu, how dare you! I am the iron-clad head of the police!"
"So what? I am a successful Jinshi and a county magistrate appointed by the imperial court! You are just an iron-clad constable. You cannot sit in my position!" After throwing the middle-aged constable out, Shen Yu straightened his clothes and sat down in this position.
"you!"
"What do you mean by 'you'? As the chief of the police, you do have the authority to arrest bandits, but I'm afraid you have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of my county government. Besides, you are just a chief of the police, do you still think you are a black guard?"
"You, you!" He was almost hurt internally by the consecutive questions, especially the last sentence which was the most heartbreaking. Although the police and the Black Guards sometimes cooperated with each other, they were mostly fighting for power and profit.
However, the police seemed to be inferior to the black guards. There was nothing they could do about it, as they had the responsibility of supervising all officials, and they, the police were actually also within the scope of supervision.
Shen Yu was right. Although the police had various privileges, they had no right to interfere in the affairs of local government offices. Of course, if your fists were strong enough, no one would dare to say anything. After all, in this world where force is everything, fists are the greatest power.
"Shen Yu, you colluded with the bandits to murder innocent people. The evidence is irrefutable. Are you trying to resist arrest?"
"Resisting arrest? Haha, what a joke!" Although the other party was a top police officer, nominally of the same rank as himself, and facing such a violent organization, most county magistrates would be more or less afraid, but Shen Yu didn't care at all.
He was obviously here to cause trouble, so how could he be given a smile? Not having him beaten out on the spot was already a great courtesy.
"The Iron-clad Captain of the Police Department? I don't know which law of this dynasty says that you, the Police Department, have the right to arrest officials appointed by the court? I would like to ask, who gave you the courage to interfere in other people's affairs?"
"you!"
"Besides shouting this word, can you not say anything else?" Shen Yu slammed the table and shouted to the people around him, "As the head of the police station, you don't think about arresting bandits, but instead interfere in the affairs of this county. What crime should you be punished for? Come on, arrest me!"
"You dare? When the police are doing things, all government offices at all levels have the obligation to cooperate!"
"I didn't say I won't cooperate, but now it's you who is asking for trouble! Since you dare to do it, you should be prepared to bear the price!" Looking up, Shen Yu's cold eyes fell on the middle-aged captain of the police opposite him, and the murderous intent in his eyes was no longer concealed.
Shen Yu had just returned from a bloodbath, and the murderous aura on his body was so thick. Under the cover of that cold murderous intent, the middle-aged man was sweating profusely in an instant, and it seemed that even moving had become a luxury.
This kind of primitive fear from the heart is unimaginable if you have not experienced it yourself. It's over, these are really hitting the wall. The most vicious bandits he has ever encountered are not as scary as this seemingly weak county magistrate in front of him.
How could a county magistrate have such a murderous aura? Could it be that he had accidentally discovered a bandit in the guise of a county magistrate? Oh no, the other party would not really want to kill him to silence him.
I just wanted to make some money, I didn't intend to get myself involved!
"Bang!" At this moment, the gate of the county government office was suddenly opened violently again, and a team of constables rushed in. Leading them were two iron-clad constables dressed in the same manner as the middle-aged constable.
After meeting these two people, although he didn't know them at all, the middle-aged police chief felt indescribably friendly. We are all members of the police, and the police are one family, relatives!
"Great, brother, come with me and capture this guy!" At this time, the middle-aged captain still thought that his guess was true, and all kinds of speculations instantly emerged in his mind.
Seeing the marks on the clothes of these new constables, the middle-aged constable immediately knew that they were from the Tanzhou headquarters. It seemed that there was something wrong with this county magistrate, and his affairs must have been noticed by the constables, so the constables sent a team of people to arrest him.
No, this is a good opportunity to show up at headquarters!
The middle-aged captain who had made up his mind didn't know where he got the courage from. He drew his sword, looked at Shen Yu coldly and shouted, "Brothers, there is irrefutable evidence that this official is colluding with the bandit! And I suspect that he is the bandit pretending to be the county magistrate. Let's catch him together!"
The new team of detectives did not answer him. The two leading detectives looked him up and down with cold eyes, and then waved their hands gently and said, "Capture him!"
"Yes, take him down!" Holding a knife in one hand, the middle-aged captain looked at Shen Yu carefully. But before he could react, two iron chains suddenly appeared from behind and locked him tightly. Then, several bright knives were placed across his neck, making him dare not move easily.
This script is wrong. Aren’t we supposed to capture the county magistrate? Why are you arresting me?
"Brother, did you catch the wrong person?"
"Yes, we are arresting you!"
