Chapter 99 How do you prove that you are yourself?
"Who let this crappy car in here?"
"Do you still want to do it?"
"Hurry up and throw this broken carriage out to me!"
Duan Yuanyang is worthy of being the biggest idiot in the Duan family since its establishment. When he found the carriage, the first thing he did was not to observe the abnormality, but to question the soldiers under him.
The armored man was much smarter than him. He didn't care about offending Duan Yuanyang at this moment. He just raised his hand to stop his men who were about to rush forward.
Duan Yuanyang saw the armored man's actions and instantly became furious. "You don't want to do this anymore, right ?"
“…”
The armored man was speechless for a while, but ignored it and just focused on watching the carriage.
Finally, the carriage slowly drove to the door.
A thin old man in black clothes came out.
Duan Yuanyang's arrogance froze instantly and froze on his face.
To be honest, he had spent most of his life enjoying himself, and he didn't know many people in the capital, and they were all playboys like him who had no hope of inheriting the family business.
But this old man is different...
This old man is a feared figure in places like the capital - the commander-in-chief of the Blood-Clothed Guard, Dou Tianyuan!
After he suffered several serious losses in the past, he firmly remembered some people who should not be provoked. Among them, Dou Tianyuan ranked first!
When I see it now, it’s like a mouse seeing a cat.
Almost subconsciously, Duan Yuanyang retreated again and again... and actually retreated into the crowd and became a part of the masses.
The armored man stepped forward and clasped his fists. "I am the deputy commander of the Front Army Command, Lu Jian, and I greet the commander-in-chief of the Blood Robe Guard."
The Blood Robe Guards' Commander-in-Chief?!
Everyone's expression changed and their eyes almost bulged out.
WTF…
This old guy is the commander-in-chief of the Blood-Clothed Guards?
Are you kidding me?!
Isn’t he three meters tall, with a green face and fangs, and who eats a raw tiger or leopard for every meal?
He is the best master in Daqing, why is he so arrogant?
The huge contrast made everyone unable to calm down for a long time.
"No need to be so polite."
At this time, 'Daqing's No. 1 Master' Dou Tianyuan waved his hand with a smile, "It's quite lively here, what are you doing?"
"According to the order of Duke Cheng, arrest the suspect in Duan Yuanming's murder."
Lu Jian replied in a deep voice.
"Suspect? Where are the suspects?"
Dou Tianyuan walked into the yard slowly with his hands behind his back. "Hasn't this matter been investigated clearly? It was done by that Thousand-Faced Taoist Wei Wuxie. It's not good for you to arrest people randomly to vent your anger, right?"
"I am only following orders. The Duke did not tell me the specific reason."
Lu Jian spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Okay, I won't beat around the bush with you. You take your people and I'll take mine."
Dou Tianyuan waved his hand towards the crowd and said, "Ge kid, what are you standing there for? Why don't you get out?"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Ge Wanshan rolled and crawled, flattered, squeezed out of the crowd with tears in his eyes, and bowed down like a mountain collapsing jade pillar: "The Blood-Clothed Thousand Householder of Zhanghua Mansion, Ge Wanshan, pays homage to the Commander-in-Chief!"
He had prepared for the worst-case scenario in which both he and Wei Wuxie would suffer losses, but he didn't expect that he would be able to survive!
And the commander-in-chief is here in person!
Even if the other party most likely wanted to save Xu Chong, he was just doing it by the way.
But, saved is saved.
That's my lifelong idol...
Ge Wanshan was so moved that he almost cried, and he wanted to hug Dou Tianyuan's thighs and call him his second father.
However, a strong body suddenly intervened and stood between the two of them, abruptly blocking this feeling.
"Wait a minute."
Lu Jian spoke in a cold tone, and looked calmly at Dou Tianyuan through the hole in his visor, "Please don't embarrass me, Lord Dou."
On the list he got, Ge Wanshan's name was also marked in red. If he released him easily, he would not be able to report to Cheng Guogong when he returned.
"Are you afraid that Old Man Duan will cause you trouble? He is not such a petty person... Well, it seems to be different this time. He may really make things difficult for you."
Dou Tianyuan was silent for a moment, his eyes lit up, "How about this, I'll take the person away, if you don't like your job in the Governor's Office, come to the Blood Robe Guard, I'll make you a pacification envoy."
“…”
Lu Jian was speechless for a while.
The pacification envoy was of the fourth rank, and the deputy governor was of the third rank, two ranks lower.
But in fact, whether in terms of treatment or various powers, the pacification envoy was not inferior to the deputy governor.
But the problem is, they are clearly poaching people but they are pretending to be giving alms?
But unfortunately, I have to accept this.
Damn, you have a really good calculation.
"Thank you Lord Dou for your kindness. I have no intention of changing my allegiance."
Lu Jian replied in a deep voice, and then changed the subject, "Lord Dou is the best fighter in Daqing. If you insist on taking this man away, I naturally cannot stop you. But please forgive me for not reporting the truth to the Duke."
After saying that, he stepped aside.
Now that we have the step, continuing to resist would be not being honest but stupid.
Just show your attitude.
"That's right."
Dou Tianyuan nodded in satisfaction and said to Ge Wanshan who was still lying on the ground: "Let's go, what are you still standing there for?"
"Walk?"
Ge Wanshan was stunned, and got up from the ground, "Sir, Xu Chong is still in there, he should be on the list, you..."
"No hurries."
Dou Tianyuan didn't go out either. He just stood there and shouted, "If you don't come out, I won't take care of you anymore."
Is there anyone else in the carriage?
Lu Jian's expression changed.
"It's so boring that there was no fight."
A faint voice was heard, and the curtain of the carriage was drawn aside.
The first thing that caught everyone's attention was the white beard that was almost dragging on the ground.
Then there was a brocade robe that was extremely gorgeous.
Finally, people take the complete image into their eyes.
Still an old man.
Just older.
Who is this?
Even Lu Jian, the deputy governor, was unable to recognize him at first.
"Xu Chong, who's Xu Chong?"
The old man in fancy clothes did not get off the bus. He just stood on the board and shouted to the crowd.
calls me?
Xu Chong was stunned and stepped out of the crowd: "I am Xu Chong, may I ask you, old man..."
Although he didn't know the other person, since he came with Dou Tianyuan, he at least had no ill intentions and was most likely here to protect him.
"Just get in the car, why ask so many questions?"
The old man waved his hand impatiently and prepared to turn back to the carriage.
It turned out to be to protect himself.
Xu Chong was confused and walked towards Dou Tianyuan.
"Wait a minute!"
Duan Yuanyang finally stood up and said, "Today, no one can take anyone away! I say that!"
Dou Tianyuan: “???”
Lu Jian: “???”
Old man: “???”
Everyone looked confused.
Duan Yuanyang was so scared that he hid in the crowd, but most people saw it.
They couldn't understand. Just now there was only Dou Tianyuan, and Duan Yuanyang was so scared that he almost hid himself. Now there was an old man with unknown origins but who seemed to have a higher status. Why did he become tough instead?
"Prince."
At the critical moment, Lu Jian had to shout out this title, "The situation is stronger than people, and we must not act on impulse ."
"What situation is stronger than people?"
"He said he was the chief commander of the Blood Robe Guards. So he is?"
"Is there any evidence?"
Duan Yuanyang glanced at Lu Jian in dissatisfaction, then looked at Dou Tianyuan with a wry smile: "Old man, if you can prove that you are the chief commander of the Blood Robe Guard, then I have nothing to say. The person I admire, worship and respect the most in my life is the chief commander of the Blood Robe Guard."
"If that's you, I wouldn't dare to fart even if you asked me to release everyone here, let alone two people."
"But if that's not possible, I'm sorry I can't agree to it."
The words seemed reasonable and polite.
In fact, Duan Yuanyang was so frightened that he almost lost control of his bladder. It was only thanks to his acting skills acquired over the years that he was able to keep his voice from shaking and his expression from being confused.
There was no other way. This was the last solution he could think of.
Unlike Lu Jian, Duke Cheng told him personally that the two people most likely to be involved with the murderer were Ge Wanshan and Xu Chong, and asked him to bring these two people back no matter what.
Now things are different.
A Dou Tianyuan wants to take Ge Wanshan away, and an old man whose name is unknown wants to take Xu Chong away.
Both key figures have been taken away. What if the old man really asks to be stripped of his title?
As the only remaining direct descendant of the Duan family, Duan Yuanyang knew very well that the old man was really capable of doing such a thing.
Therefore, in order to obtain the position of Duke, he had to resort to the tricks he often used when he was an official - throwing tantrums and playing dirty.
The bet is that these two old men did not bring the appointment documents and the official seal of the yamen with them.
As long as the two of them couldn't produce proof, he could rely on the Akamatsu Army to force his way through this.
After returning to the capital, it was the old man's business.
As for after the old man passes away... the worst that can happen is that he will go to their house and apologize, and let these two old guys beat him up. That will help him calm down, right?
In short, keep the position of Duke first!
Duan Yuanyang thought so and kept encouraging himself in his heart .
Everyone standing behind him could clearly see that the pair of hands behind his back were shaking constantly.
To be honest, this wave really surprised Dou Tianyuan.
"Doesn't my face prove that I am Dou Tianyuan?"
Dou Tianyuan pointed at himself and asked blankly.
Don't tell me, this is really impossible...
Xu Chong held back his laughter.
When the imperial court appoints officials, it will not announce their portraits to the world.
As for Dou Tianyuan's image, it is indeed far from being the "number one expert in Daqing".
"Please forgive me for not being able to trust your words based on one side of your story."
Duan Yuanyang tried his best to remain polite, laying the foundation for begging for mercy in the future.
After these words were spoken, Dou Tianyuan's eyes turned cold.
In fact, there are many things that can prove official position.
For example, appointment documents, imperial edicts, etc.
But who would hug these things for no reason...is that stupid?
There is also a commander-in-chief token.
Although Dou Tianyuan did carry this with him, he had no doubt that even if he took it out, Duan Yuanyang would say it was a fake.
This kid is clearly trying to get away with it by force.
In that case...
Dou Tianyuan rolled his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth: "I'm too lazy to tell you, let Old Man Duan tell you."
After that, a strong wind suddenly arose out of nowhere.
Although it was a broad day, everyone felt the oppression of an impending storm and felt extremely depressed.
Dou Tianyuan had already clasped his hands together and slowly spread them apart.
It seemed to be extremely strenuous, and it took him half a cup of tea before he finally opened his arms completely.
"Old Man Duan, come over here and have a chat!"
