At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 171 Chapter 167 Never seen such an arrogant person
"My lord, the brothers went up to the third floor and were driven down, please show me your lord!"

Bellin frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Over there...someone is blocking you, not letting you in..."

When Beilin heard this, she suddenly became interested, and said: "It's just a brothel, dare to obstruct the court's handling of the case, could it be that Yang Xiong hasn't run away..."

"My lord, it's not that the Lichun Court refuses to let it go, it's...it's..."

Bellin realized that something was wrong, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Responding to my lord's words, it is the magistrate's housekeeper who hinders the brothers from handling the case."

"The prefect of Huai'an?"

"Exactly!"

It turned out that the magistrate of Huai'an was drinking flower wine in the Lichun Courtyard, and it was a coincidence that he caught up with him.

Bellin thought for a while, and immediately made a decision: "Today is a major treason case. It doesn't matter if the magistrate comes, and I will follow the official to arrest people!"

After finishing speaking, he personally led the people to the third floor, and saw a middle-aged fat man in brocade, with several servants behind him, standing at the door of a private room.

"Bold, who are you?"

This person is Huang An, the chief steward of Huang Li's mansion, the prefect of Huai'an.

Today, Huang Li was entertaining guests in the Lichun Courtyard, but he didn't expect that there would be a commotion outside, so he ordered Huang An to come out to have a look. In the end, he saw a group of stunned youths rushing out from nowhere, sealing up the brothel .

Huang An was used to being arrogant, so he brought his thugs to drive these officials downstairs, but he didn't expect that the other party was so ignorant that they came back again.

Belin stood in front of him, looked him up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"

Huang An was stunned for a moment, suddenly his heart became angry, he snorted angrily, and then said: "Where are you an official, you don't even recognize me?"

Belin stood in front of him and said with a sullen face, "Do you still need to report to you about my title? What are you?"

"you……"

Huang An was immediately annoyed. On weekdays, in the three-acre land in Huai'an, even magistrates from all over the country would respect him when they saw him.

The stupefied young man in front of him, who came out of nowhere, is so rude, I don't want to teach you a lesson today...

Snapped!
Belin's temper is not very good, she just slaps her when she stretches out her hand.

"What are you? You dare to obstruct this official's handling of the case, and you will be punished without mercy. Someone, take this bastard away!"

"Who dares?" Huang An yelled with gold stars in front of his eyes, "The prefect is entertaining distinguished guests, young man, I advise you to do it yourself!"

Snapped!
Bellin raised her hand again, and slapped her again.

"I love your mother's head, get someone!"

Regardless of Belin's gentle appearance, she was never soft when fighting. These two slaps made Huang An's entire face swell up, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding.

"You... rebelled, reversed... come here, this person offends the magistrate, let me take it down!"

Huang An was followed by several servants, all of them were tall and thick, and they were holding sticks in their hands. It seemed that there were many fights and fights on weekdays.

These people were about to rush forward, but then...

brush!brush!brush!
With the shining steel knife resting on their necks, everyone was at a loss for what to do. It seemed that they had never encountered such a scene since they came under the hands of the prefect.

Bellin said coldly: "Those who resist, shoot and kill!"

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a woman said: "Master Huang, please come in and talk."

Belin was also polite, and walked in after greeting people.

"Wait a minute, my lord," the woman hurriedly stopped her, "Master Huang has said it, please tell me your lord alone."

"Master Huang's words..." Belin smiled lightly and said, "It's not easy for me!"

After finishing speaking, he pushed the woman in front of him away, and rushed in directly with someone.

The woman was also terrified. In Huai'an Mansion, she had never seen such an arrogant person. The magistrate didn't even give him face. I don't know who this is...

Belin went straight to the back room, and saw two people sitting on the table. The one in the main seat was nearly fifty years old, and should be the prefect of Huai'an, and the other... turned out to be an acquaintance!
"you you……"

Seeing Belin, the man turned pale with fright as if he had seen a ghost, and backed away again and again, almost falling down.

With a gloomy face, Huang Li asked, "Master Gao, do you know this person?"

"it's him!"

Gao Xu recalled the fear of being dominated that day, and said in horror: "It was him, that day in Suqian, they beat people, and the wound on my face still hasn't healed yet!"

Huang Li looked at Belin slowly, and asked, "Who are you?"

Beilin cupped her hands and said, "Beilin, the Heavenly Supervisor of the Xiaqin, came to Huai'an to help control the river by order."

"Qin Tianjian?" Huang Li asked puzzled, "Isn't this just nonsense? River control is a matter of the Ministry of Industry. What does it have to do with Qin Tianjian?"

"Qin Tianjian is in charge of astronomy and calendar, natural geography, farming seasons, solar terms, and river regulation are related to all aspects, of course they are related."

"Humph!"

Huang Li snorted coldly, and said: "To control the river is to control the river. Why did it come to this government? Today's matter, this government will definitely report to the Holy Spirit, and punish Er and others for abusing their power!"

"Of course Prefect Huang can play, but now, prefect Huang is invited to follow along."

"What did you say?"

Huang Li's face was frosty, and he said angrily: "My ears are not very good, please say it again!"

Belin was also angry, and said loudly: "You listen carefully to me, now go back with me and accept the investigation!"

"Haha, hahaha..."

Huang Li laughed back angrily, pointed at Bei Lin and said, "Okay, I want to have a look at the government. In Huai'an, which yamen dares to judge the government?"

Bellin was not used to him, she turned her finger and said, "The Yellow River broke its embankment and the flood flooded. The imperial court appropriated a lot of money to control the river. You, the magistrate, are not busy with your business, but instead come to a brothel to drink. Today, I am still going to drink in a brothel." First trial, you prefect, come and take it away!"

"I think who dares?"

Huang Li stood up slowly, looked at the guards, and asked, "Which yamen are you from?"

These people were originally transferred from the local yamen gate, and they were all panicked at the moment, not knowing what to do.

Huang Li smiled triumphantly, and said, "I don't care where you come from, or who your backer is, you just need to be clear, this is Huai'an, not the capital!"

Belin asked back: "So what? Is Huai'an a place outside the law?"

Huang Li picked up his wine glass leisurely, his eyes full of contempt.

Now, Belin couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and knocked over the wine glass in Huang Li's hand with a slap.

Huang Li said angrily: "You... Presumptuous!"

In Huai'an Mansion, he had never seen such an arrogant person.

Before it was over, Belin suddenly turned around, grabbed a knife from the guard behind her, and put it on Huang Li's neck.

"You, you... what are you going to do..."

With the shining steel knife resting on his neck, Huang Li finally panicked, fearing that if he was not careful, blood would splash on the spot.

At this time, Gao Xu finally came to his senses, stepped forward and said, "My uncle is already on his way, if you know him, you should quickly find your own way out!"

Belin asked: "Master Gao has left Beijing?"

Seeing Belin's nervous expression, Gao Xu finally showed a smile on his face, and said, "Yes, I have received a letter from my uncle, and I will arrive in Huai'an in a few days. This time, no one can help you!"

"Okay, I'm about to have a good chat with Mr. Gao, take it away!"

Seeing that the knives were being used, the guards were shocked and had to take him away.

Now, Huai'an Mansion is quite lively.

The magistrate was arrested, and he was taken from a brothel. This matter is a bit... people's imagination...

Yu Qian didn't react for a long time when he learned that Bei Lin had arrested the magistrate.

"What did you catch him for?"

"That Lichun Courtyard is the stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, and everyone in it is suspected, of course they will be arrested!"

"But, he is the magistrate!"

"What's wrong with the prefect, can the prefect be cleared of suspicion?"

Yu Qian sighed secretly in his heart, this Belin was too fierce.

"If you want to arrest the magistrate, you must at least go through the chief envoy, or through the official department. If you don't say hello now, you will arrest him directly. Who will give you a good face in the future?"

"I don't care about them!" Belin said with her lips curled up, "I'm only responsible to the emperor, as for the others, I don't care what they want!"

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "In this case, let's interrogate overnight, otherwise, we won't know what happened until tomorrow."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Belin had just walked a few steps, then turned around and said, "By the way, Mr. Gao is already on his way. He may arrive in Huai'an in two days. You have to be prepared."

Yu Qian didn't react, and asked subconsciously: "Who are you talking about?"

"Master Gao of your cabinet!"

"Why is he here?"

"Do you still need to ask, I must have come to chase the emperor!"

Yu Qian thought for a while, and then asked: "I'll hold him back when the time comes, don't worry about anything, hurry up and check the White Lotus Sect!"

"that……"

Belin said with some embarrassment: "There is one more thing that needs to be clarified with Mr. Yu in advance. I...arrest Gao Ge's nephew as well."

"What did you say?"

"Speaking of it, it was a coincidence. I just beat him up in Suqian, and I just went to seal the Lichun Courtyard. I ran into it again, and brought it back together. However, please rest assured, Mr. Yu, the next official promises that during the interrogation No abuse of punishment, no torture to extract confessions."

Yu Qian's face was full of helplessness, what kind of people did the emperor bring with him...

Belin came to the interrogation room like a normal person.

Huang Li said blankly: "Do you know the consequences of this move?"

Bei Lin sat down carelessly, and said: "Now I am ordered to investigate the White Lotus Sect conspiracy case, please cooperate with Huang Zhifu!"

"What did you say?"

Huang Li looked surprised, and asked, "What White Lotus Sect, what rebellion?"

"It seems that the prefect Huang still doesn't know that Lichun Yuan is the secret branch of the White Lotus Sect rebels set up in Huai'an Prefecture. They deliberately incited the people who ruled the river to rebel, and they were arrested by this official. This is a confession. Please check it with the prefect Huang! "

Bellin waved her hand, and someone immediately sent a stack of confessions over.

Huang Li picked up one and looked at it, his expression changed drastically.

He picked up the other copies, glanced at them briefly, and then, leaning weakly on the chair, closed his eyes.

Bei Lin said: "Master Huang, how much do you know about Li Chun Yuan?"

"I, I... this residence... I don't know..."

At this point, Huang Li also panicked, the White Lotus Sect actually rebelled right under his nose, and as a result, he, the magistrate, couldn't get away with it no matter what.

"Then please tell me, Master Huang, what are you doing in Lichun Courtyard today?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just meeting Mr. Gao and reminiscing about the old days."

"Meet by chance?" Beilen smiled and said, "Did we meet by chance when I learned that Gao Ge always passed by Huai'an?"

Huang Li waved his hand and said: "I just learned about the matter of Mr. Gaoge. My government is absolutely upright and upright in office. As for the Bailian rebel, it is indeed my government's negligence. Let's go back and pour Huai'an The government is fully assisting Mr. Bei in handling the case, so what happened today should be regarded as a misunderstanding, I don’t know what Mr. Bei thinks?"

Belin said meaningfully: "Oh, it was a misunderstanding?"

Huang Li nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's just a misunderstanding!"

Belin sighed, and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid... you won't be able to go back for a while."

"What do you mean... not going back temporarily?"

"that is……"

Beilen took out an account book and said, "We must first explain the matter clearly, and then whether we can go back depends on the court's will."

"What do you mean?"

"According to the confession of the White Lotus Sect, the Lichun Academy is the sub-helm of the White Lotus Sect in Huai'an Mansion. Over the years, it has been in close contact with many officials of the Huai'an Mansion. This account book was found from the Lichun Academy. It has been verified that the accounts in it are all money sent out, and Master Huang's name is also in it."

After hearing this, Huang Li's face turned pale, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Belin asked again: "Why, Master Huang, don't you want to explain?"

Huang Li settled his mind, and said: "This government has been an official for many years, and has always been a breeze. Mr. Bei must not believe the slander of the thief!"

"Master Huang is right. Of course, the thief's confession should not be trusted..."

Huang Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said: "Master Bei is right, the thief framed me, and his intentions are really sinister!"

Belin smiled lightly and said: "However, it is not difficult to find out the truth about this matter. I just need to take someone to Mr. Huang's house to have a look, and the truth will be revealed?"

When Huang Li heard this, he stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "How dare you search our house?"

"Although it's not in accordance with the etiquette, but in order to return Mr. Huang's justice, it has to be like this."

"It's not your turn to decide the justice of this government!"

"I'm afraid it's up to Mr. Huang!"

After Beilin finished speaking, she stood up, ignored Huang Li's yelling, and walked out the door.

Through this conversation, he already knew very well that there must be something wrong with Huang Li.

Even if it had nothing to do with the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, they definitely took money from others.

Otherwise, how could the White Lotus Sect be able to thrive in Huai'an Mansion?

At this time, an officer came over with a confession.

"My lord, according to the confession of the people in Lichunyuan, this Gao Xu and Yang Xiong are very close."

After reading the confession, Belin said, "Send someone to Gao's house immediately to search for the rebels!"

"But, the Gao family is..."

"No matter who it is, as long as it is related to the rebels, we must investigate to the end!"
