The carriage slowly left the jade square.
Su Ruyi pursed her red lips and said,"Little Taoist priest, we've really gotten into trouble this time."?”
Although she was a woman, she was still quite loyal and did not abandon Zhang Qing to benefit herself.
"There's no need to care about this person.”
"Shopkeeper Su, it's all thanks to you that you brought me to the jade fair today. I'll give you a jade talisman later.”
Zhang Qing didn't care at all. His tone was as if he was saying that he had drunk a bowl of soy milk this morning.
What he was thinking about now was how to arrange the jade that had just been cut out.
"You still have the mood to talk about this."
Su Ruyi frowned. She looked at Zhu Biao beside Zhang Qing and was about to say something.
At this moment, the carriage stopped.
"Boss, someone is blocking the way.”
The coachman gulped.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and dozens of constables came in, each with a sharp knife hanging from their waists.
The advisor in the lead was a thin middle-aged man. He was following beside Xue Cheng, fanning him with a flattering expression.
Seeing Zhang Qing sitting in the carriage, Xue Cheng's eyes were about to spit fire. He opened the constable's fan and pointed,"
"Good, you thieves still dare to swagger in front of me.”
"My jade is worth hundreds of thousands of taels. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, how should we deal with these people?”
The advisor picked up the fan and stuck it at his waist. He smiled apologetically and said,"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, theft is punished according to the amount. A treasure worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver should at least be sent into exile.”
"And according to what Young Master Xue said, these people didn't steal, but robbed. Their crimes are even more serious, and they should be sentenced to death!”
After saying that, he turned his head and changed his expression.
"What are you waiting for? Arrest these criminals and bring them back to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.”
Ordinary criminals would naturally not be placed in the Ministry of Justice's prison. That was the most secure prison in Ming Dynasty.
However, the relationship between the Xue family and the Ministry of Justice was unusual. The current Minister of Justice and Xue Jia were scholars of the same year, so they should be classmates.
With the advisor's order, the constables stepped forward with unfriendly expressions.
It seemed that they were not prepared to ask questions and were about to be taken away in shackles.
Xue Cheng revealed a smug expression and sneered,""I've already told you that my father is Xue Jia. Do you know the consequences of offending me now? I'm in the Ministry of Justice's prison. Hmph, hmph, hmph."
Zhang Qing was speechless.
Why did this sentence sound so familiar?
But then, he looked at Xue Cheng and could not help but laugh.
Xue Jia would never have dreamed that one day, his son would fight the Crown Prince over his father.
If he had known earlier, he would have slapped his brainless son to death.
Actually, today's matter was still because Zhu Biao was plagued by bad luck. Otherwise, Xue Cheng wouldn't have come at such a coincidence.
Of course, it was hard to say who was unlucky. From another point of view, Xue Cheng, who had kicked an iron plate, was also quite unlucky.
The two unlucky fellows bumped into each other.
"Men."
Zhu Biao's face was as dark as water as he called out.
From the crowd, from the alleyways, from the tea stalls on the side of the street, one by one, the guards who were previously unremarkable rushed out.
A rough estimate was that there were more than a hundred of them.
When the Ming Crown Prince went on a tour, even if his whereabouts were kept secret, how could he not have people following him?
Among them were not only Zhu Biao's own guards, but also the Jinyiwei that Old Zhu had sent to follow Zhang Qing.
Of course, even if these people didn't follow, there was no danger.
Zhang Qing was not only good at fortune-telling. It was easy for cultivators to deal with these ordinary constables. It was just that there was no need to.
However, to let these people get what they deserved, Zhang Qing was happy to see Zhu Biao make a move.
"Hmm?"
Xue Cheng was surrounded by people. At first, he was a little afraid, but then he said fiercely,
"What are you doing? Gathering bandits in broad daylight to resist arrest, could they be rebelling?!”
"It seems that you are a group of organized bandits!!”
Xue Cheng had learned how to label people.
But this time, surprisingly, the advisor beside him did not pander to him. Instead, he shivered and cold sweat dripped down his neck.
He saw the long knife hanging from the waist of the person who came, and he recognized the style of the knife.
In the entire Great Ming, there was only one type of person who was qualified to use this kind of refined steel Yanling Saber.
This saber had another name, the Embroidered Spring Saber.
Not every Embroidered Spring Saber could be carried by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. It was either that they had received a reward, or that the powerful Hundred Households, Thousand Households, or even Commanders in the Embroidered Uniform Guards were not qualified to wear it.
Either they were from the palace!
The palace?
In other words, these were not just the Jinyiwei, but the group that followed the Emperor?
Then, who were the Taoist priest in front of him and the young master beside him?
Other than His Majesty, who else could cause such a huge commotion?
The advisor was scared silly.
Not to mention him, even Su Ruyi, who was standing beside the two of them, had a dull expression on her pretty face.
"Your Highness, little Taoist priest."
Li San half-knelt on the ground and asked with a cold gaze,"How should we deal with these people? Kill him on the spot or bring him back for interrogation?"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were so overbearing.
They only needed to listen to one person's orders.
Killing the son of a wealthy businessman and a private advisor of the government office didn't require any other reason. It was enough to offend the Crown Prince.
