The prince is very fierce

In front of the Yamen in the east of Youzhou City, wolf guards armed with swords stood on the left and right, scanning the people passing by on the street.

The heavy snow fell down and fell inside the courtyard dam. Incense filled the meeting hall, and the governor Zhang Boyan and his left and right deputies leaned back on the imperial chair, holding teacups and remaining speechless.

Song Ying had already gone out and the meeting hall became a little quieter. The deputy on the right thought about it for a while and said:

"Sir, it's better not to get involved in this matter. The rumors have been wrong recently. Although the issue of Xu Buling locking dragon Gu in Chang'an City has calmed down, it is obviously not over. Today's Holy Emperor and King Su..."

Zhang Boyan sighed and slapped the tea cup on the table: "I know it's no use. Song Ying is so harsh, so he brought the Holy Lord out to suppress me. I am not like other vassals who can watch the fire from the other side. I still mean what you said above." Can you not listen..."

"Xu Buling appeared in the Tang family a few days ago and had a conflict with Song Ying. Could it be that Song Ying was avenging his personal revenge..."

"He's not stupid. Who dares to use this kind of thing to avenge private revenge..."

"I heard that there was a little trouble in Liaoxi County, and the Criminal Investigation Department took over. We have no news about it. Could it be the reason there?"

Zhang Boyan thought for a moment and shook his head: "No matter how big the chaos is, can it be bigger than a vassal king? What kind of chaos can lead to such a hurry to lure the vassal king's son here and then imprison him?"

"Yes..." The deputy also felt that this matter was strange. After thinking about it for a moment, he was suddenly surprised:

"Is it possible that King Su has rebelled?"

Zhang Boyan raised his hand and slapped the deputy on the forehead: "If King Su rebels, will the Detective Department still need to secretly come over to arrest people? The last time King Su went out of Qinzhou, the beacon tower was a little bit, and the news spread to Youzhou that day. Coming..."

Several people came and went to discuss it for a long time, but there was no result. The act of detaining the prince's son was too sensitive. Even the emperor had to use the name of studying to ask the prince to come to the capital as a hostage. They really couldn't think of anything that the imperial court could do. Under what circumstances can such an order be issued?

Just when Zhang Boyan was puzzled, there was suddenly some noise outside the Yamen, as if someone was scolding outside.

Zhang Boyan looked slightly displeased and was about to let his deputy go out to see what was going on. He saw a dozen wolf guards retreating behind the screen wall outside the meeting hall, and the guards on guard ran past in a panic. .

Zhang Boyan was confused, put down his tea cup and stood up. Before he could scold him, he saw a young man wearing a white prince's robe walking in.

The young man in white was holding a single sword and pointing it diagonally at the ground. He was stalking and hunting in his robes. His handsome face was filled with undisguised anger, as if he wanted to kill someone.

"Zhang Boyan, come out here!"

An angry scolding came, sounding like thunder.

Zhang Boyan shivered in surprise, and when he looked carefully, he saw the person coming with peach blossom eyes, sword-sharp eyebrows, and a face like a crown jade, which seemed to be the person in the painting. He then looked to the side and saw a half-grown maid, holding a Gold Medal glared at the Wolf Guard blocking the way.

The Wolf Guard of Tianzi Camp, who was originally feared by people, seemed to be no different from the useless policeman in the yamen. Facing the white-clothed young man walking towards him with a knife, he did not even dare to touch the handle of the knife. He was just nervous:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down..."

Crown Prince?

Zhang Boyan's face was slightly startled. He didn't know who was coming, and he hurriedly picked up his official robe and wanted to go out. But upon closer inspection, Prince Su ignored Wolf Guard and came towards him with a knife.

! ! !

Zhang Boyan's face suddenly turned pale, he groaned, turned around and wanted to run to the back hall.

"Zhang Boyan!"

Xu Buling was so angry that he jumped into the meeting hall with a single stride, grabbed Youzhou Governor Zhang Boyan by the back collar, and pressed him down on the table with his backhand.

"Your Majesty, stop it!"

"Your Highness, please calm down!"

The two deputies were so frightened that they sat down on the ground.

Many Tianzi camp wolf guards wanted to step forward to stop them, but based on their status and martial arts skills, they were not qualified to go up and start a fight. They deserved to be cut if they went up rashly, so they could only stop them repeatedly.

Zhang Boyan was so frightened that his face was pressed to the table and he said in horror:

"Little prince! Little prince! Spare my life, I am unjustly accused..."

Xu Buling was so angry that he put the knife on the neck of the governor Zhang Boyan and cursed:

"Who the hell do you think you are? The one who detains me? Do you think the knife in my hand is not fast enough? Do you know that after I kill you, I can still come and overdo you after being imprisoned?"

"I know, I know..."

Zhang Boyan was in trouble, but he didn't dare to move the knife on his neck, and cried:

"It was not the order of the lower official, but the Criminal Investigation Department. The lower official was also forced to have no choice..."

"Where are people?"

"Just behind the Yamen..."

"You still won't let him go? Wait until I go there in person?"

"Let it go, let it go..."

Zhang Boyan was sweating profusely and waved to the deputy quickly: "Quickly! Let him go! Go quickly..."

The adjutant was as silent as a cicada. He didn't dare to delay. He rolled out and ran out. When he reached the door, Song Ying quickly ran in. Behind him was Situ Yuejin, who was carrying a nine-ring knife.

Zhang Boyan felt as if he had been pardoned and said quickly: "Little prince! Master Song arrested him. The subordinates didn't know about it. I really didn't know about it..."

Xu Buling's eyes were cold, he raised his hand and threw Zhang Boyan to the ground, then turned towards Song Ying with the knife in hand.

Seeing this scene, the wolf guards who were watching in the meeting hall all moved away. Situ Yuejin, the sword leader, also narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not take action.

Song Ying's figure was upright and fearless, and she said loudly: "Prince Xu..."

Before the words were completely spoken, Xu Buring had already walked up to him, raised his hand and slapped Song Ying on the left cheek.

Song Ying frowned and stepped back half a step to avoid the slap.

Xu Buling suddenly became angry: "How dare you hide..." As he spoke, he slashed with his knife.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The wolf guard suddenly became frightened and quickly wanted to step forward to start a fight.

Song Ying also had an angry look in her eyes. She turned sideways to avoid the knife, but could not fight back. She just grabbed the back of the knife with one hand and said in a deep voice:

"Prince Xu! Please pay attention to your identity!"

Zhang Boyan, who had just fallen to the ground, was frightened when he saw this. He quickly got up again and said anxiously:

"Young prince, Mr. Song, calm down, please calm down! Don't use the knife in the yamen, it won't be good for the people below to see..."

Someone started a fight, so Xu Buling naturally withdrew the long knife and pointed the tip at Song Ying:

"You have been a holy dog ​​for a long time, but you are worthy of mentioning your identity to me? If you don't give me an explanation today, I will lead people to destroy the Cao family tomorrow!"

Song Ying's eyes were full of anger and her fists were clenched, but she didn't talk back.

Zhang Boyan ran between the two of them, hurriedly pressed Xu Buling's knife down, and said anxiously:

"Explain, please explain, Mr. Song, why did you arrest this girl?"

Song Ying suppressed the anger in her heart. There were some things she knew well in the court, but she couldn't say them on the stage. He still raised his hand and saluted:

"Your Majesty Xu, Zhongli Chuchu is from South Vietnam. He entered the country without permission, and did not carry any road documents. He walked around in important border towns. He is suspected of spying on military intelligence. It is the duty of the Anti-Detection Division to temporarily detain him for questioning."

Zhang Boyan nodded repeatedly and looked at Xu Buling: "Yes, yes, it's such a small matter, do you think it's reasonable, young prince?"

Xu Buling's eyes were cold and he stared at Song Ying for a moment, then he stuck the knife on the ground, turned around and walked to Zhang Boyan's desk, raised his hand to write a note, pressed his fingerprint, turned around and handed it to Zhang Boyan:

"Now that we have a road guide, can we release him?"

Dayue's "Luyin" is actually a change of identity card. It is usually issued and stamped by the parent official or clan elder in the place of birth. It serves as a "recommendation" and "guarantee". It is mostly used for imperial examinations or studying abroad. It was more popular during the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was used indiscriminately for a while and is rarely checked now, but this law has never been abolished. Needless to say, foreigners who entered the country privately would be arrested in that dynasty.

Song Ying used this reason to arrest Zhongli Chuchu, who was born in South Vietnam, and it was indeed reasonable to insist on telling the truth. As the eldest son of the feudal lord, Xu Buling opened a way for Zhongli Chuchu as a guarantee, which was naturally reasonable, legal and compliant.

Zhang Boyan didn't even look at it, raised his hand and said:

"Okay, okay, Mr. Song, let him go. It's no problem now. Our yamen can't arrest people randomly..."

Song Ying wasn't trying to capture Zhongli Chuchu, but now that Xu Buling had arrived, she went straight to the topic:

"This time I offended you. But now that the Crown Prince is here, I have something I want to ask the Crown Prince about."

Xu Buling's face was slightly cold: "If you fart, hurry up."

"Some trouble happened on Bodhi Island in Liaoxi County a few days ago. The prince should have been present at the time. Because the matter is special, we have to ask the prince to live in Youzhou City for a while and cooperate with our Criminal Investigation Department to investigate..."

When Xu Buling heard this, he was 'baffled' at first, and then became furious:

"Are you sick? I was injured in a fight with you in the Tang family. I just recovered for a few days before I had a good rest, and you arrested me. I didn't even bother you, but you came to me instead?"

Zhang Boyan nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Song, everyone knew you had a fight in Tangjiazhuang a few days ago. How could Prince Xu go to Liaoxi..."

Song Ying knew that Xu Buling would not admit it, so he raised his hand and said:

"The matter is of great importance at this time. The prince will definitely be present that day. Please stay and cooperate with me to prove your innocence..."

Xu Buling's face was cold: "You think the court is your one word? Do you need to prove my innocence? I have been recuperating in Chengde County. Where did you hear that I went to Bodhi Island?"

Zhang Boyan nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Song, when our Yamen handles cases, we must have personal evidence and physical evidence. Prince Jinkou Yuyan said that he was in Chengde County, why do you say that he went to western Liaoning?"

"..."

Song Ying didn't find any actual clues, but regardless of whether Xu Buling was on Bodhi Island that day or not, it was impossible to let Xu Buling leave before he found the imperial seal. He shook his head and said:

"This matter is of great importance and I cannot go into details. I would also like to ask the Crown Prince to cooperate with me."

Xu Buling nodded: "That means there is no evidence, and they think I am related to something ulterior, so they arrest the people around me and then lure me and detain me? Right."

Song Ying didn't say anything, but it was true.

Zhang Boyan couldn't listen anymore and said:

"Master Song, you can't do things like this. Didn't you say there is an imperial edict?"

After Xu Buling heard the imperial edict, he became a little more serious and looked at Song Ying.

Song Ying was silent for a moment: "The imperial edict will arrive soon. Your Majesty, please be patient."

"Oh--"

Xu Bu Ling smiled angrily, nodded, and bowed to Nightingale:

"Nightingale, take the sign from Prince Su's Mansion and go to Youzhou garrison to mobilize five thousand border troops. Youzhou Governor Zhang Boyan and Detective Division Song Ying are planning to commit rebellion, so they are all arrested and awaiting trial. By the way, light the beacon tower and notify Chang'an, and send troops quickly. Come and suppress it.”

"No!" Nightingale took the gold medal and walked out.

As soon as Xu Buling's words came out, there was silence in the meeting hall. Then Zhang Boyan and other officials were satisfied and frightened. The expressions of many wolf guards also changed slightly. Even Song Ying raised her hand to block Nightingale.

Zhang Boyan's face was anxious and annoyed. He stopped in front of Xu Buling and said anxiously:

"Young prince, please don't mess around. How could a lower-ranking officer conspire to rebel? The beacon tower cannot be lit, and the entire border has begun to prepare for war. He falsely spreads military information to kill the nine tribes..."

Xu Buling said angrily: "You and the Criminal Investigation Department were able to detain me on the basis of 'guess and suspicion' without any evidence. Why can't I suspect that you want to force the Xiliang army to mutiny and harm the country?" ? You, the governor of Youzhou, have rebelled. If I don't notify Chang'an to come over and suppress it, why don't I wait for you to let the Northern Qi army enter the pass? "

"this……"

Zhang Boyan really couldn't say anything, he could only look at Song Ying:

"Master Song, that's not how things are done. Without the Holy Majesty's will and real evidence, you have no right to detain people. Isn't it a mess to do this?"

Song Ying's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head and said, "His Royal Highness is in Xiliang. He has no right to mobilize Youzhou soldiers and horses. Without the Holy Tiger Talisman, initiating troops without permission is the same as treason."

Xu Buling snorted coldly and looked at Zhang Boyan and others:

"My Xu family has the responsibility of guarding the border. The war in Xiliang has not yet ceased. You came to capture the king. What's wrong with me borrowing thousands of troops to protect myself? Do you think the name of the Xu family of King Su can't mobilize thousands of border troops?"

Zhang Boyan's face turned bitter. The Xiliang Army was guarding the entire Western Front. With General Xu Lie and the remaining power of the Xiliang Army, as long as they were not afraid of violating taboos, they would come to the Eastern Front to borrow thousands of soldiers and horses. No young general would dare to do so. No. He had no choice but to look at Song Ying again:

"Master Song, please give me a reasonable explanation. You have neither an imperial decree nor any evidence to detain the young prince. It is natural for the young prince to mobilize his troops and arrest us. We will ignore it even if we bring trouble to the emperor."

Song Ying really had no evidence, and the matter of passing on the national jade seal was top secret. He did not dare to reveal it before there was an imperial decree. If Xu Buling was not on Bodhi Island at that time, and he and Xu Buling asked, wouldn't they just tell him that the jade seal in the hands of the current sage was fake, then there would be big trouble.

Xu Buling frowned and waited for a moment. Seeing that Song Ying didn't say a word, he raised his hand and said:

"Nightingale, go mobilize the troops and light the beacon tower."

Nightingale held the gold medal from Prince Su's Mansion, passed Song Ying, and ran to the outside of the Yamen.

"Slow down, slow down!"

Zhang Boyan suddenly became anxious, waiting for Xu Bu Ling to bring the border troops over, and stood there so that dozens of wolf guards could not buckle him. When there was no war, he called the beacon tower to ask for help. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the surrounding area came to Youzhou and found that nothing was wrong. Xu Buling would not be beheaded if he was held accountable afterwards, but he, the governor of Youzhou, would definitely have to involve his whole family.

Zhang Boyan was also angry and said angrily: "Song Ying, if you have the imperial edict, bring it out. Prince Su and his officials will naturally follow the order. If there is no imperial edict, you are blatantly committing a crime! Don't use the imperial edict to prevaricate on the road. , This statement is called a false imperial edict, no one will recognize it. If you continue to mess around, I don’t need Prince Xu to take action, I will send troops to take you down first! Come and bring this girl out!"

The two deputies were frightened to death. They didn't dare to delay, so they hurried out and ran to the prison behind the Yamen.

Song Ying's face was gloomy, but officialdom is not a world, and no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you have to follow the rules. Without an imperial edict, he can't defeat a hundred of the prince's sons just by relying on his own energy. He can't really rely on his martial arts to catch Xu Buling. That Zhang Bo Yan estimated that he would really send troops to rescue Xu Buling, so as to prevent the Xiliang army from causing trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Song Ying took a step back and got out of the way:

"Prince Xu, I humbly advise you to stay in Youzhou City temporarily, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Holy Master in the future."

Xu Buling drew out his single sword and glanced at Song Ying coldly: "My Xu family only listens to the emperor's orders, who do you think you are?" After saying that, he strode out of the meeting hall.

Song Ying gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do...
