"These are the rules!"
This was not the first time Li Cheng had heard of the word 'rules'.
His ears felt like calluses were about to form.
"What rules are you talking about? Anyway, my men are already here. I have to investigate even if I don't want to. Get out of my way and don't waste my time. "Li Cheng was completely impolite.
He had to investigate.
Xiao Heguan was a man who had been in the bureaucracy for many years.
Facing Li Cheng, he could easily deal with him.
He then said, "Crown Prince Cheng, I still have the same thoughts as before. Coming to the lodgings to investigate the case is not a problem. However, we must obtain the approval of the Ministry of Justice. If they agree, no matter how many men you bring, I will allow you to enter the lodgings to investigate.
"I have already brought men here. There is no reason for me to go back."
"Prince Cheng, you should go to the Ministry of Justice first."
"You …"
"In short, I will not let you in without the approval of the higher-ups."
Stubborn!
Xiao Heguan's attitude was very firm.
This made Li Cheng's eyes widen in anger.
"You are even more difficult to deal with than that Lord Zhong from the Ministry of Justice."
Previously, when he went to the Ministry of Justice to retrieve Du Mubai's file, he was also rejected by Sir Zhong with just a few words. At that time, he was extremely angry. Now, he met someone who was even more powerful than Sir Zhong and spoke in an orderly manner, making it impossible for others to take advantage of him.
And it was even more annoying!
Xiao Heguan's expression did not change. He continued, "Today, no matter who it was, they would have stopped Crown Prince Cheng like me. So, I hope Crown Prince Cheng will not make things difficult for me. Please go back."
Therefore, he would not retreat.
Not even a single step.
Just when Li Cheng was at his wit's end —
A person walked out from behind him.
Ji Yunshu was dressed in simple yet elegant men's clothing.
She cupped her hands towards Xiao Heguan.
When Xiao Heguan saw her, he was slightly surprised.
He looked at him from head to toe.
Then, he asked, "Are you Teacher Ji?"
He had never seen the legendary Teacher Ji who could touch the bones.
Ji Yunshu replied, "Yes."
"I have heard a lot about you."
How polite.
Ji Yunshu said directly, "Milord, I was the one who wanted to investigate Du Mubai's case today."
You?
"Teacher Ji.
You're not from the government, "Xiao Heguan reminded her. "It's true that I'm not someone from the government, nor am I someone from the City Sector. I'm just an ordinary commoner. However, Milord, you kept saying that you didn't allow us to investigate because we didn't get permission from the Ministry of Justice. If the Ministry of Justice agrees to reverse the verdict, then we can enter."
Yes, but you seem to have overlooked something. "
"What?"
"Do you need evidence to overturn the case?"
"Of course." "Since we need evidence to overturn the case, if you don't let me in to investigate, where are we going to get the evidence to overturn the case? Now that the evidence to prove that Du Mubai was killed is inside, does Sir still want to stop it? Also, the victim of the stone case at the city gate was related to Du Mubai.
On the surface, there seemed to be no connection, but there was a hidden connection. Even if we didn't go in for Du Mubai, we still had to investigate for the Stone Case.
If Milord were to stop them, wouldn't that be obstructing the City Revenue Department? This crime … seems to be a bit big. Can Milord bear it? "
Ugh!
Xiao Heguan was completely stunned by the series of questions.
Li Cheng, who was standing beside her, turned his head to look at her.
He had the look of a fanboy.
He looked at her eagerly.
He worshiped her to death.
He thought to himself, 'Young Master Ji really has a way.'
While Xiao Heguan was still in a daze …
Jing Rong and Bai Yin, who had been standing silently at the back, looked at Ji Yunshu.
Both of their eyes shone with light!
Bai Yin smiled, then leaned closer to Jing Rong and said softly, "I have to say, Yunshu is very charming."
Jing Rong's lips curled into a smile. He looked at his woman's back and said, "This is the person I love!"
Very determined!
Very proud!
Bai Yin ate a mouthful of dog food!
Although Xiao Heguan suppressed Li Cheng, he was overwhelmed by Ji Yunshu's words.
He was speechless.
After a pause, he said, "Teacher Ji, you …"
"What? Does Milord not agree? "
"Of course not."
"Since it's not, then please let us go in and verify it. Then we will know if Du Mubai committed suicide. Or if he was killed. "
"…"
"Milord has been talking about the rules and procedures. Then, we will follow the procedures. As long as we have evidence to prove that Du Mubai was killed, we will follow the procedures. Wouldn't that be in line with the rules?"
Ji Yunshu was very clear about the procedures!
She was the prison warden, so she was more qualified than anyone else in the room to talk about the procedures.
While Xiao Heguan was speechless, Li Cheng hurriedly said, "What should be said has been said. What else do you have to say? We have to go in to investigate. If we delay, we will be obstructing the official's work. "
That was a serious crime!
Xiao Heguan's expression turned ugly.
He felt that he had met a strong enemy.
He swallowed his saliva.
He said helplessly, "Fine, I can let you in, but …"
"But what?"
"We have to wait a little longer. After all, this is a study building. The students who live here are here for the exam. If we alarm anyone, I'm afraid it will have a bad effect."
"Then what do you want?" Li Cheng asked in a questioning tone.
It was also a little provocative.
He had an expression that said, "If you don't let me in, I will kill you."
Xiao Heguan didn't dare to provoke this ancestor. If he destroyed the study building, it would be disastrous. Everything had to wait until Marquis Pingyang informed him before making a decision.
So now, he had to delay as much time as possible until Marquis Pingyang gave the order.
He said, "I have to tell the students in the study building first to avoid affecting them."
"How long will that take?"
"That's hard to say. There are many students in the study building."
Li Cheng said, "Are you deliberately not letting me in?"
"Heir Cheng, I agree to let you in, but this is a study building, a place for people who don't study. No matter what, we have to make arrangements first."
"You …" Li Cheng was anxious.
Ji Yunshu immediately stopped him, saying, "Fine, then we will wait in the hall. When Milord is done with the arrangements, we will go over."
"Okay!"
Ji Yunshu wasn't stupid.
In fact, she knew that Xiao Heguan must be planning something. Perhaps, he was informing someone.
She also wanted to see who it was!
Li Cheng led the others in one by one and sat in the hall.
Xiao Heguan ordered someone to pour some tea and brought over a stove to warm the fire.
Then, he quietly left and asked the person beside him, "How is it? Did you inform Marquis Pingyang? "
That person said, "I don't know yet."
"We can't continue waiting like this. Go again."
