Film and TV: People in Joy of Life become stronger by reading

Chapter 69: Fan Xian was caught, what can he do to me?
At this moment, a figure rushed out from the crowd and grabbed Fan Xian's arm.

"Someone come, catch the thief, this person stole my money!"

After hearing this shout, all the people on the street came over and surrounded Fan Xian.

Wang Qinian's expression changed and he was about to step forward to help explain.

Unexpectedly, several strong men suddenly jumped out from the crowd and took out a badge from their bodies.

"Jinyiwei is investigating a case, everyone get out of the way!"

The expressions of the passers-by changed drastically and they dispersed.

Fan Xian seemed to have seen a savior: "Brothers of the Imperial Guards, I really didn't steal the money. I just..."

Before he could finish his words, he was held down by the Imperial Guards.

"Come with us, we'll know after we investigate whether you've been wronged!"

As they spoke, two Jinyiwei clamped Fan Xian's arms and took him away.

……

The backyard of the inn.

Li Chengping sat in the house, sipping tea and reading a book, and his life was indescribably comfortable.

At this time.

Wang Qinian ran in in a panic, slid and knelt directly in front of Li Chengping.

"Your Majesty, please save Master Xiao Fan. He was just captured by the Royal Guards on the street!"

Li Chengping was confused: "Why would such a good person be arrested?"

Wang Qinian told the whole story honestly.

"Oh, this is clearly a frame-up. The Northern Qi Jinyiwei is only capable of this!"

Li Chengping sneered.

The timing of the whole process was perfect. As soon as the man started shouting, the Jinyiwei appeared. It was obviously a trap.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Jinyiwei prison is very scary. Please save him!"

Wang Qinian remembered that he was about to cry.

His life and property all depend on Fan Xian. If anything happens to him, Chen Pingping will definitely not let him go when he returns!
"Don't worry, get up first."

As he spoke, Li Chengping handed the Saint Maiden Order to Wang Qinian and said, "Take it to the Pacification Office. Remember, don't be impulsive. Go and test the waters first."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wang Qinian hurried away holding the token.

at this time.

Within the Zhenfu Division.

"Sir, we have captured Fan Xian. He said he is from the Qing Kingdom delegation. What do you think we should do?"

Listening to his subordinate's request, his expression remained calm.

"He said he was, right? What evidence do you have? I also said he was a spy from the Qing Kingdom. Take him to the Imperial Prison and treat him first!"

The subordinate was stunned and hesitated.

"Sir, why don't we investigate further? What if he is really a member of the diplomatic mission? If this matter gets out..."

Shen Zhong's face darkened.

"The Jinyiwei has always enforced the law impartially. I think you should be clear about the rules here and know what to say and what not to say!"

"Yes, yes, I understand. I'll take my leave."

The subordinate bowed, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly when he turned around.

Damn it, Shen Zhong, that bastard, is clearly trying to beat me to death!
The credit is his, the trouble is mine, you bastard!
The subordinates cursed in their hearts and racked their brains to think of a solution.

When he went out, he bumped into Wang Qinian who was rushing over.

"You don't have eyes. You don't know this..."

The subordinate was full of anger and ready to vent it, but when he saw the Holy Maiden Order in Wang Qinian's hand, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Greetings, sir. What's the matter with Her Royal Highness the Saint?"

Watching this man's 180-degree change, Wang Qinian also understood the importance of the token.

"The Saint has ordered you to release the man you just caught on the street!"

Wang Qinian used the tiger skin as a banner. His subordinates' eyes lit up.

He was worried that he had no way to send Fan Xian away, as this man's arrival was too crucial.

"Sir, please come with me."

As he spoke, the subordinate took Wang Qinian to find Shen Zhong and directly explained his purpose.

Shen Zhong personally checked the token and confirmed that it was genuine, but he did not want to let him go.

"The token is fine, but this person is involved in a lot of cases, so Her Highness the Saint needs to come in person."

"You are not qualified!"

Wang Qinian was not angry. He put away the token and turned to leave.

Shen Zhong waved at his subordinates: "Go, arrange a few people to follow him."

It’s a pity that he chose the person to track. Wang Qinian’s lightness skill can be said to be second only to the grandmaster.

He easily shook off the person who was following him, returned to the inn, and told Li Chengping what happened.

"Got it, you go down first, I'll take care of this matter."

After sending Wang Qinian away, Li Chengping waved to the soldiers at the door.

"Go, find Haitang Duoduo."

Soon, Haitang Duoduo swaggered into the yard and sat down directly opposite Li Chengping.

"Why, you finally came to your senses and are planning to let me go!" Haitang Duoduo looked very proud.

This is Northern Qi, and she knew that Li Chengping would not be able to hold on for long.

"It's not impossible to let you go, but I need you to do something for me. I want you to bring someone out from the Pacification Office."

As he spoke, Li Chengping recounted the story of how Fan Xian was captured.

"You want me to take Fan Xian away from the Jinyiwei, but that's a bit difficult. The Jinyiwei only obey the Queen Mother's orders. I can't help you."

Haitang Duoduo looked regretful.

"Stop pretending. The so-called discord between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor is just an illusion. You need to bring the person out before dark."

"If not, I will go to the Pacification Division and bring people with me!"

Li Chengping's voice was exceptionally cold.

"This is Northern Qi, not Qing. Do you know what the consequences will be if you take action here?"

"Consequences? Even if your master comes in person, what will happen? This is clearly a trap set by the Royal Guards. Even if I kill Shen Zhong, what can you do to me?"

Faced with the questioning, Haitang Duoduo fell silent.

Ku He hasn't appeared yet, most likely he has really been defeated.

With the power in Li Chengping's hands, even if he turned the Pacification Office upside down, Northern Qi would not dare to say anything.

Looking at Li Chengping's calm face, she was a little confused.

If the other party really takes action and the Grand Master takes action, not to mention the Pacification Office, I'm afraid the entire capital will suffer.

"Okay, I promise you, but my token..."

Before Haitang Duoduo could finish her words, Li Chengping threw the token over.

"Li Chengping, we'll see you later!"

Haitang Duoduo snorted coldly and left in a hurry with the token.

She really didn't want to stay here for even a minute!

Zhenfusi, inside the courtyard.

Shen Zhong looked at Haitang Duoduo in front of him, a little surprised: "Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

"I heard that you just arrested a man named Fan Xian. Release him immediately!" Haitang Duoduo gave orders.

"Your Highness the Saint, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Shen Zhong deliberately spoke in a riddle.

He had already received news that Fan Xian was a member of the Qing State Supervisory Council.

Over the years, those spies in the Censorate have leaked many secrets of Northern Qi. The recent defeat in the war was closely related to the Censorate.

Because of this, Shen Zhong suffered a lot of accusations and punishments, and he hated the people in the Supervisory Council to the core.
