Chapter 85 Please Show Mercy
After hearing Yan Mou's words, a man came out from the dock on one side.
It was Zhao Tang.
"Mr. Yan, you said that there was a conflict with Xie Jizi that day?" Zhao Tang asked Yan Mou.
"That's right! I suspect that he is definitely involved in Mr. Gui's disappearance. Minister Zhao, arrest him and interrogate him strictly." Yan Mou pointed at Xie Xunfeng and said.
Zhao Tang already had some opinions about Xie Xunfeng.
He waved his hand and said, "Go and arrest Xie Zhizi! Bring him back to the Ministry of Justice and interrogate him strictly."
A group of officers and soldiers came forward to arrest Xie Xunfeng.
"If you don't want to die, don't touch me!" Xie Xunfeng said calmly to the leading soldier.
"Minister Zhao has ordered that you ..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Xunfeng struck him with a knife and knocked him unconscious.
"Xie Hanzi, what...what do you want to do! Arrest you? We are going to take you back for investigation...If you arrest you openly now, do you know what crime ?" Zhao Tang said to Xie Xunfeng.
"Hmph, I'm a hostage. If they want to arrest me, they should send the prison warden. If they want to interrogate me, they should send the prison warden... Who do you think you are! Moreover, to arrest someone, you need solid evidence. Do you have any? Zhao Tang, I remember that you were a running dog for the Yuan family before? How come you're a running dog for the Yan family now?" Xie Xunfeng snorted coldly and cursed at Zhao Tang.
"You...you fool...how dare you insult an imperial official! Today, I, the Minister, want to see...what can you do if I arrest you! Why are you just standing there? This fool is suspected of being involved in the case of the ghost in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and insulting an imperial official. Do you think you need to trouble the warden for such a small matter? Arrest him!" Zhao Tang shouted sternly.
"Wait! Minister Zhao, calm down... You can't arrest Xie Jizi. Xie Jizi has nothing to do with Mr. Gui's disappearance." At this time, a voice like a silver bell came from the dock.
Hua Feifei walked out of the dock and said.
Seeing this, Yan Mou said to Hua Feifei, "Boss Hua, what are you going to do?"
Hua Feifei looked at Yan Mou, who had a dark face, and said with a smile, "Master Yan, calm down. Listen to me..."
As Hua Feifei spoke, she moved between the two parties.
"Minister Zhao, this is a misunderstanding. Xie Zhizi was our King that night. He stayed in the room with Miss Huiyin the whole night and never left. Moreover, Mr. Gui's skills are among the best in Daxia. How could Xie Zhizi be related to Mr. Gui's disappearance? So, Minister Zhao, you have to be cautious. "
After hearing what Hua Feifei said, Yan Mou said calmly, "Shopkeeper Hua, why are you so anxious? Is Mr. Gui's disappearance related to you?"
Hua Feifei said to Yan Mou, "Master Yan, your words are too harsh. I am just trying to persuade you with good intentions. Xie is still a hostage after all. The laws of Daxia state that any member of the royal family who breaks the law must be investigated by the warden, and the Ministry of Justice cannot interfere. And you have no evidence."
"Hmph, he is the prince of the Great Zhou! Whether they are related or not is not your decision! I don't have the final say either! Shopkeeper Hua, I understand you. You are doing business openly, and it is rare for you to meet such a foolish and stupid sucker, so naturally you have to flatter him! But today, this fool must go with me. Shopkeeper Hua, don't say that I don't give you face! You know, this matter was ordered by Grand Tutor Yan to be investigated strictly! If you try to stop it, I will arrest you too!" Zhao Tang said with a cruel face.
Hua Feifei was indeed a person who was involved in the entertainment industry. Her expression did not change at all. She pulled Zhao Tang aside with a smile on her face and whispered, "Minister Zhao, just listen to me... I won't hurt you. Just let him go. I heard that he has a close relationship with the prison warden Huangfu Chou..."
After hearing what Hua Feifei said, Zhao Tang snorted coldly and said, "Hua Feifei, don't scare me with Huangfu Chou! I'm telling you, don't talk about Huangfu Chou today! Even if the king of heaven comes, this minister will take him away!"
"Oh? Minister Zhao, you are so arrogant... Today I want to see how you take that person away!" As he spoke, a deep voice came from the dock nearby.
I saw that ice-faced Huangfu Chou actually got off a red boat.
Zhao Tang's originally arrogant face turned timid in an instant.
A face that made me wonder whether I should smile or cry.
"Huangfu Ling, you...you...why are you here..."
Huangfu Qiu still had a serious and icy face, and said to Zhao Tang, "Do you want to control me? Don't you see who you are? Are you worthy of it?"
Zhao Tang still smiled and said, "I dare not... I dare not..."
Huangfu Chou said to Zhao Tang, "Isn't Minister Zhao very impressive? Let me see how you violated the laws of Daxia and had to take Xie the hostage away..."
Zhao Tang was completely scared, and he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "I dare not... I dare not..."
"Huangfu Ling, I am following the order of the Grand Master to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of Grand Master Gui. You are so..."
"Who do you think you are? How can you talk to me like that?" Huangfu Chou had no respect for Yan Mou at all and interrupted him before he could finish.
Yan Mou said with an unpleasant expression, "I am following the orders of the Grand Master!"
"I don't care whose orders you follow! If you have the courage, capture Xie the proton! As long as you dare to capture Xie the proton, you'll be finished if I don't catch you!" Huangfu Chou said very domineeringly.
When Yan Mou heard Huangfu Chou say this, he naturally didn't dare to offend him again.
As Hua Feifei spoke, she stepped forward to protect Xie Xunfeng and said, "Xie Jizi, since everything is fine, please come in. You are here to look for Miss Huiyin, right?"
Xie Xunfeng smiled slightly and followed Hua Feifei.
Although Yan Mou was very angry, he didn't dare to say a word!
Huangfu Chou glanced at them and said, "Just because a servant is missing, is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?"
Zhao Tang nodded and said yes.
Huangfu Chou said to Zhao Tang, "I think your Ministry of Justice has a big problem. I need to report the problem to His Majesty..."
Zhao Tang knelt down in front of Huangfu Chou with a bitter look on his face and said, "Huangfu Ling, please don't... This... This time is an accident... This time is an accident... From now on, I will strictly follow the laws of Daxia. I hope Huangfu Ling will show some mercy..."
