Chapter 776: Arrest
Zhenzhou Imperial Palace, West Courtyard.
In the spacious courtyard, two soldiers were twisting each other with their arms naked, and were competing. A large group of officers and soldiers were clapping and cheering for both sides.
The eldest girl from Xiang's family lives here, that is, the future queen. These guards are also the brave soldiers she brought from Lingnan, and the entire western courtyard is controlled by them.
Close the gate of the West Courtyard, and it becomes a whole place, including guards, maids, servants, and even several staff members.
Just as it was lively, a noisy sound suddenly sounded outside. With a bang, the gate of the west courtyard was broken open, and a general walked in with great momentum.
The yard was silent at first. After a moment of stagnation, all the officers and soldiers pulled out their knives. In a blink of an eye, a small military formation formed, and the warning sounded immediately. The sound of footsteps sounded throughout the west courtyard. Soon, teams of soldiers rushed out from all corners of the west courtyard.
Judging from the reaction speed, he is worthy of being an elite in Lingnan.
Li Mi put on his helmet and armor, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife around his waist, and looked coldly at the more and more Lingnan soldiers in front of him. Behind her, there were only four guards, several blue-faced constables, and a man with black eyes, looking like an official.
Li Mi, the Shaoqing of Weiwei Temple, the eldest daughter-in-law of Cao, Li Ze's former guard commander, and his direct confidant. Every title makes her a famous figure in Zhenzhou. Seeing that it was Li Mi, the people in the yard were relieved.
A man who looked like a master came out, held his fists and bowed to Li Mi, saying, "Li Shaoqing, why is this? This is Xiang's wife's residence. It is not allowed to be summoned, and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission."
Li Mi looked at him coldly for a moment, pointed to the guys behind him with bruised noses and swollen faces, and said, "Jiang Guo, did you beat these people?"
Jiang Guo saw the blue-faced and swollen constables with anger on his face and said in surprise: "Li Shaoqing, how is this possible? How could our people beat these policemen?"
"You are lying!" The official with black eyes turned forward angrily and said, "It's you who fought."
"Where does this start?" Jiang Guoshao said with a smile.
"He is the one who beats people." The official suddenly pointed his finger at an officer beside Jiang Guo.
Jiang Guo looked back at the officer in surprise. The officer looked embarrassed and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Why is this?" Jiang Guo looked confused.
Li Mi sneered and said, "Jiang Kingdom, five days ago, your soldiers were more than ten, who went to Niuzhuang. When they passed Lingshou County, they wanted to trample on the crops of the people along the way. After being blocked by the farmers, they actually beat the farmers and left. The incident caused seven farmers to be injured to varying degrees, one of whom was hit by a horse and his life was in danger. On the way back, the law of Lingshou County, Cao Zhou Guozhu, led the county's constable to arrest the criminal. The criminals held weapons and resisted arrest by force, and beat up the law of Cao Zhou Guozhu and his constable with him, and escaped without a trace."
Jiang Guo's face changed slightly. Five days ago, people were indeed sent here to Niuzhuang to contact the relevant matters, but after returning, no one mentioned this matter.
Now this matter has become very serious. It is obvious that Lingshou County knew the origin of these people and knew that they had no choice but to the people here, so they sued the lawsuit to Weiwei Temple.
For a moment, they couldn't help but complain. They were now in the wolf's nest, and they had always been very strict with these big-headed soldiers, and they were not allowed to go to the streets without any trouble. Because the people in Weiwei Temple have always been looking for their mistakes with their eyes wide open, and they have been safe for several months. Unexpectedly, they just let these people go out and caused such a big deal.
These soldiers are all personal soldiers of the general in Lingnan. They are ashamed and arrogant as they show off their power wherever they go. It would be better if they have a girl restrained them here, but once they go out, their true colors will be revealed. It seems that this must be true.
After swallowing, Jiang Guo bent down at Li Mi again: "Li Shaoqing, it's not a place to speak outside. Sit down in the room and let me report it slowly!"
Li Mi smiled, "I am very busy and have no time to talk about it. This matter is true and the evidence is conclusive. What else can I say? I come and take the person and leave."
The officer behind Jiang Guo was furious, took a step forward, and shouted angrily: "Where is this place? Is it your turn to act wild? Just take the people if you say you want them?"
Jiang Guo was shocked and wanted to hold the officer down, but it was too late.
Li Mi laughed to the sky: "I dare to ask, where is this place?"
"This is our residence for the eldest girl, and we are the queen and the mother of the country." The officer pressed the hilt of the knife and sneered: "You are just a young minister of the Weiwei Temple. If you want to take people, just some untouchables and a few constables, you will beat them. What can you do to me?"
Li Mi's smile drooped bit by bit, and said word by word: "Now, Xiang Da Girl or Xiang Da Girl, she will be the queen in two years. Besides, even two years later, this place is not a place beyond the law. The emperor violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people, let alone the queen, let alone you be a mere tooth."
With a choking sound, the officer actually drew his sword out of the sheath. As the officer drew his sword, the Lingnan soldiers in the yard drew their swords and glared at Li Mi.
Li Mi was too lazy to look at them, turned his head and looked at Jiang Guodao: "Jiang Guo, are they trying to resist arrest by force?"
Jiang Guo smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.
What a joke?
Where is this?
This is Zhenzhou.
Who is Li Mi?
Li Mi is a person who can easily crush them to death with a finger. Xiang Damei and the others did not dare to move, but from the following people, she killed them, who dared to say one more word? What's more, now they have occupied the present and taken their own shortcomings. What can 500 people do in Zhenzhou? Not to mention Qianniuwei stationed here, it's easy to destroy them just by the Weiwei Temple under Li Mi.
"Li Shaoqing, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Don't put down your weapons!" Jiang Guo echoed and scolded the officers and soldiers, but the officer also glared back, obviously very dissatisfied with Jiang Guo's weakness.
"It seems that I want to resist arrest by force." The smile on Li Mi's face seemed to be happier. He slowly raised his hand and made a gesture. A guard behind her immediately raised his hand, and a sleeve arrow flew into the sky. After reaching the highest point, it exploded with a bang, and the bright red fireworks immediately exploded in the air.
"They will not resist arrest!" A cold voice sounded in the hall. Li Mi looked up and walked over the Lingnan soldiers in the middle to look at the lobby. A woman with a curtain on her head walked out with several maids and servants. It was Xiang Xun's granddaughter, the future queen Xiang Lan.
The soldiers in Lingnan separated from each other and bowed together to salute.
Li Mi looked at the woman coldly. She was the imperial court official and the Shaoqing of Weiwei Temple. Xiang Lan, theoretically speaking, was really an ordinary woman, so she naturally refused to salute.
"Li Shaoqing, I wonder what punishment these people will receive?" Xiang Lan did not walk to Li Mi. She asked coldly without walking to Li Mi.
"Zhou Guozhu, you are a law master and are familiar with the law. Come and tell the eldest girl." Li Mi said.
Zhou Guozhu, the law of Lingshou County, with black eyes, took a step forward and shouted: "Tramming the green seedlings, following the Tang Dynasty's laws and regulations, chasing twenty rods and paying the farmers' losses. Beating others and seriously injured someone, and sentenced to one to three years of prison and compensate for the losses. If anyone is killed, he will be punished. Beating an official, violently resisting arrest, and the crime will be increased."
Everyone in the yard suddenly lost their lust.
After a moment of tranquility, the officer who was still showing off his mighty face was sweating coldly on his face. He suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Xiang Lan with a loud voice, saying loudly: "Girl help me. For the sake of the loyalty of Mo General, save Mo General's life. Mo General falls into their hands. There must be death and life."
When he knelt down, more than ten soldiers who participated in the matter that day knelt down one after another.
Li Mi just looked at all this with a sneer.
The gauze on Xiang Lan's face was windless, and after a moment, he finally walked down, came straight to Li Mi, bowed his blessing, and said, "Li Shaoqing, this is because Xiang Lan is unscrupulous, which makes these people unscrupulous. Can Xiang Lan be lenient to them for the sake of Xiang Lan's sake? Xiang Lan is willing to heavily compensate the farmers and the injured policemen, how about it?"
Li Mi shook his head cleanly and neatly: "Sorry, law is law. If you violate the law, you will be judged and you must not be given privately. The law revised by Xiang Girl, Mr. Chunyu has been promulgated for nearly two years. Violations of the law will be punished. This is the national policy of the court. Please forgive Li Mi for being powerless."
Xiang Lan straightened up, her heart was filled with anger. She had already put on airs. She didn't expect that the other party would not give her any face.
"How can this happen?" she asked.
"The criminal will be brought to justice and will be tried by Lingshou County in accordance with the law. As for what kind of punishment it will be in the end, it depends on what the law says. How can Li Mi interfere with the matter?" Li Mi said.
Xiang Lan took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. Jiang Guo, you follow me all the way. If you make a mistake, you will be punished, but you can't let Lingshou County erroneously."
"Yes!" Jiang Guo bowed.
Li Mi chuckled: "Understanding the great righteousness to the eldest girl is actually a blessing for the country. Zhou Guozhu takes people."
Several blue-skinned and swollen constables rushed forward, untied the iron chain from their waists, shook the chain, and dragged it to the necks of the officers and soldiers who were committing the crime.
Seeing more than ten Lingnan soldiers being taken away, Li Mi smiled and bowed, turned around and left.
Looking at the empty door, Xiang Lan suddenly pulled off the veil curtain from her face. She with a pale face drew a knife from the waist of a guard beside her, shook her hand and threw it away. The sword flew out with a howling sound, and it pierced deeply on the lintel.
