A few days later, Dali Temple came to pick him up.

The people from Dali Temple showed the sign at the entrance of the palace, and the guards of the palace welcomed them into the hall, "My lords, please have a sip of tea first, and then go and invite His Highness to come over."

The leader of Dali Temple's errands was named Zuo Zong, who was promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple the year before last.

He waved his hand and said, "There's no need for tea. We'll just grab the person and leave. Please lead the way."

If Dali Temple wanted to come to the palace to get someone, they still had to show their face, so they sent Zuo Zong, the young minister of Dali Temple.

The guard said: "I'm afraid this won't work. The person you want to mention is now your Royal Highness's personal guard. If Your Highness doesn't nod, no one can take the person in the palace."

Several people in Dali Temple looked at each other and knew that this process was inevitable.

In terms of title, he is the eldest son of Beilin and the future King of Beilin. In terms of official position, Xie Tingzhou is now in charge of all affairs. He is a high-ranking official. He is not an easy person to offend from any angle.

Besides, no one is sure about this man's temper, they just heard the rumors.

In short, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Zuo Zong thought for a while and said, "How can we bother the Crown Prince to come to see us? Naturally, I will go down to see the Crown Prince. You can lead the way."

The guards took the person to Qingpu Residence and asked for instructions before letting him in.

As Zuo Zong entered the hospital, a black figure jumped down from the tree with a vigorous posture.

After seeing clearly what it was, Zuo Zong immediately took two steps back, pressed the handle of the knife with his thumb to move it out, ready to draw the knife at any time.

Xie Tingzhou stood leisurely under the eaves and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a domestic pet."

Whose family pet is a leopard? Cold sweat broke out on Zuo Zong's back.

He walked slowly around the crowd with long steps, looking at everyone with his light golden eyes, full of danger.

"Your Majesty," Zuo Zong said coldly, "My lower official, Zuo Zong, is here to mention——"

"GuluGulu——" Cang bowed his back and suddenly called out.

That is the unique roar of a leopard.

Zuo Zong was interrupted and immediately jumped back a step and pulled out the knife with a swipe.

Several prison officials who came to fetch people did as they were told, and the palace guards in the courtyard also drew their swords.

The situation seemed to become unmanageable at once.

Xie Tingzhou handed the plate he was feeding Bai Yu to others, narrowed his eyes and said, "Zuo Zong, are you going to use the knife in my palace?"

Zuo Zong's enemy, but with the Black Panther staring in front of him, he didn't even dare to put away his sword.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. His Highness's pet is very powerful." Zuo Zong's back was wet with cold sweat, and he could hardly lift his head due to the aura of one person and one leopard.

Xie Tingzhou smiled, "Cang."

Black Panther stared at these people for a few seconds before turning back to Xie Tingzhou.

Xie Tingzhou asked: "You haven't said why you are here yet."

Zuo Zong originally had the emperor's orders and came to do business, but his momentum was suddenly suppressed, and now he can't even raise it even if he wants to.

"The Three Divisions will review the Yanliangguan case. Now we need to ask the Crown Prince's bodyguard to go to Dali Temple for questioning."

"Oh, it's official business," Xie Tingzhou nodded, "What about the paperwork?"

Zuo Zong was confused by his question, and then said after a while: "Shigure is not a prisoner, so there is no arrest document issued."

Xie Tingzhou said: "Master Zuo brought so many people here, I thought they were here to arrest some important criminal from the imperial court."

Zuo Zong was defeated by him and his face turned ugly, "We are just doing things as per the mission, and we hope that the prince will not be in trouble."

"Don't blame me!" Xie Tingzhou's voice was cold, "Since it's just an errand, you have to issue documents. You don't do things according to the rules, but you want to seek convenience from me. Where do you get the courage?!"

Zuo Zong gritted his teeth. After all, he was a young minister of Dali Temple. From his third-grade official position, he had never been scolded like this by someone pointing his nose at him. Moreover, he was still in front of his subordinates.

"If I go back to get the documents, can Your Highness release me?"

"That's natural."

Zuo Zong clasped his fists, flicked his sleeves and left.

An hour later he came to the door again, this time with documents.

Xie Tingzhou smiled after reading the document and suddenly became more talkative, "Mr. Zuo, couldn't you have done this earlier?"

He tilted his head and said, "Go and ask Shigure to come over."

Zuo Zong handed over his hand, "No need to bother, just take us there."

Xie Tingzhou ignored him, and the guard walked away without even slowing down his steps.

Zuo Zong could not get off stage again.

After a while, Shen Yu came with the guards.

Xie Tingzhou stood under the eaves and looked at her and said, "The adults from Dali Temple have come to call you for questioning. You go with them."

Shen Yu nodded, "Yes."

Xie Tingzhou added: "Nothing, I will pick you up in person before dark tomorrow."

Shen Yu looked at him, and Xie Tingzhou nodded to her.

When Zuo Zong heard this, he immediately said: "It is already noon and the testimony has not been recorded yet..."

"What I said..." Xie Tingzhou took a step forward, "Isn't it clear enough?"

Zuo Zong's face was ashen.

How could he not understand what Xie Tingzhou meant, which meant that questioning was allowed but not torture. He came to pick up the person in person, and he must have an intact person.

Everyone in Dali Temple left in a cheery mood.

The courtyard door was closed, Xie Tingzhou turned around and entered the house.

Xi Feng followed, "I'll just send someone to pick you up Shigure. You don't need to go back and forth."

Xie Tingzhou said calmly: "You can't pick up an intact Shigure."

What kind of place is Dali Temple? Once it comes to a case, he will lose his skin even if he is dead, otherwise he would not deliberately say that he would pick it up personally.

Xifeng understood, nodded and said: "Today's matter is that I have formed a dispute with Zuo Zong."

"I want him to be my dog." Xie Tingzhou said.

Xifeng was puzzled, "But he is Liu Cheng's man. If His Highness wants to win over him, why are you in trouble with him everywhere today?"

Xie Tingzhou sat on the chair, "Zuo Zong is an unfamiliar dog. Liu Cheng has not been able to feed him well for so many years. This kind of person only cares about profit and bites whomever he sees. Why not let him know who he cannot mess with?" , He is a smart man, today I just gave him a blow."

Xifeng still didn't understand Xie Tingzhou's explanation.

"I'm sorry for my stupidity, but now if he hasn't turned his head around, will he avenge his personal revenge and vent his anger on Shigure?"

Xie Tingzhou picked up the teacup, "Otherwise why would I say I would pick it up in person?"

Shen Yu went to Dali Temple. Zuo Zong didn't shackle her, but she looked very ugly along the way.

The jailer followed him and was aggrieved on behalf of Zuo Zong, "Now that he is an official in the same dynasty, he is at the same level as your lord, so why should he be embarrassed by your lord?"

Zuo Zong's face turned even more ugly and he ignored the jailer.

The jailer flattered him again: "He just got into an official position because of his background. How can he compare with the way the adults climbed up step by step."

Zuo Zong suddenly stopped, turned around and kicked Yu Cheng, "I crawled. He was born to sit on a high platform. He was born to sit on a high platform. You bowed like this in front of me because you expected me to be with him." Do you want me to chop him up?"

The jailer covered his chest and quickly knelt on the ground, "The adults have wronged the young ones. The young ones are just complaining for the adults."

Zuo Zong tossed his sleeves and left.
