This is a prince! "
Lin Shu did not expect his classmates to be so helpful to him. His heart was moved, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He thought to himself that if he was fine, he must thank them properly.
Lu Hu looked at the wall of people in front of him and stretched out the knife in his hand. "Get out of the way. If you dare to obstruct the yamen, you will be punished together."
"But Lin Shu didn't kill anyone, so you can't take him away. Teacher Ji is right. For officials like you, if Lin Shu is really arrested and sent to prison, he will definitely be tortured by you. At that time, you will force a confession out of him, and even the dead will be brought back to life."
"Today, no matter what, you can't take Lin Shu away, unless you step over our bodies."
"That's right."
Lu Hu had been a constable for a decade or two, and it was not the first time he had encountered such a situation. He said with a dark face, "You better get out of the way, otherwise..."
As he spoke, the officers beside him stepped forward, each of them looking fierce and murderous.
Suddenly...
"How lively!"
A voice that sounded lazy but was filled with deterrence could be heard.
The students turned around to look and consciously spread out to the sides.
They saw Jing Rong leisurely strolling forward!
Lu Hu looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. This person had a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing. He was dressed in a brocade robe, which made him look elegant and full of a gentle aura. However, between his eyebrows, there was a clear fierceness. His thin and cold lips curled into an arc, which actually made Lu Hu feel a little timid in his heart.
Jing Rong straightened his posture and looked Lu Hu up and down. "Constable Lu from the Bingjing yamen?"
"Who are you?"
He smiled and did not answer his question. Instead, he glanced at Ji Yunshu from the corner of his eyes. "Since Teacher Ji has already explained the truth of the matter and proved that Guo He accidentally fell into the well and died, then Lin Shu is innocent. In that case, there is no need for him to go to the yamen."
It was not an objection, it was an order!
Lu Hu narrowed his small bean-like eyes. "Who are you?"
"An idler!" He blurted out.
"Since you are an idler, then don't meddle in other people's business."
"But an idler meddles in other people's business."
The two of them confronted each other!
Lu Hu knew in his heart that this person was definitely not simple. Immediately, he revealed a bloodthirsty expression like that of a jackal. "If you dare to stop me again, don't blame the officials for being impolite."
His words seemed to have amused Jing Rong.
He said coldly, "Let's see if you have the ability to do so."
This clearly angered Lu Hu. He gripped the hilt of the saber tightly and pulled it up. The sharp silver saber was pulled out from the hilt.
But before he could pull it out halfway, Jing Rong raised his foot and pressed the sole of his foot against the hilt of the saber. Exerting some force, he forced the saber back into the hilt.
His feet were fast!
Before Lu Hu could react, not only was the blade stuffed back into the hilt, but he was also pushed back a few steps by the force.
His feet drew two deep lines on the ground.
It was also at that moment that Jing Rong's eyebrows reflected a ray of light. It was as if years of tempering in the Asura Arena had caused his entire body to exude a bloodthirsty aura.
"Who gave you the order? As a yamen official, how could you draw your blade so rashly?"
His voice was like a great bell, piercing towards Lu Hu like a sharp arrow.
Lu Hu steadied his steps. His palm was still numb from the force of his kick.
Moreover, he clearly knew that he was not the opponent of the person in front of him. If he really fought, he would definitely lose.
"You obstructed the yamen from handling its case, which is equivalent to becoming an enemy of the imperial court. Can you bear such a crime?"
"The imperial court?" Jing Rong smiled.
This was the funniest joke he had heard in a while.
He raised his eyebrows. "Huang Shishan has a good reputation in the imperial court. Half a year ago, the Minister of Personnel also wanted to promote him to the position of Zhou official on the list of officials to be transferred to the capital. He was thought to be a good official, honest and upright. Who would have thought that the people under him are so savage and arrogant?"
Lu Hu narrowed his murderous eyes. He thought, 'This person knows Magistrate Huang? He even called him by his full name. Moreover, he even knows about the transfer of officials from the Ministry of Personnel!
This person's background is not small.
Could it be that he is the son of a great official in the capital? Or an official from the Ministry of Personnel?
He was not a boorish man who only took advantage of the moment. He was very shrewd and stepped forward to interrogate him. "You even know Magistrate Huang and the Ministry of Personnel. You are untalented, but may I ask who this young master is?"
Although his words weakened, his arrogant tone did not diminish in the slightest.
If I reveal his identity, I'm afraid that you will be scared to death!
Jing Rong glanced at Lang Po.
Lang Po nodded and took out the exquisitely carved token from his waist and showed it to Lu Hu.
Lu Hu was stunned when he saw it.
'How is this the son of a great official?
He's clearly a Buddha! '
He immediately knelt on one knee and bowed his head. "Greetings, Your Highness. This humble one did not know that Your Highness has arrived and offended you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Your Highness!
The students present were so shocked that their eyes widened. They were almost scared to death.
The surprise came too fast!
"He … he is Your Highness?"
"No wonder Teacher asked them to stay in the academy."
…
The officials who were following Lu Hu also knelt down and sent Lin Shu away.
Lin Shu's legs went soft. His eyes widened in shock and fear.
He was shocked that he was actually a prince!
He was afraid that he would retaliate against him!
After all, ever since they took shelter from the rain in the pavilion, there was already enmity between the two of them. Lin Shu had also repeatedly offended the people around him. It seemed that he would not have a good ending.
His lips trembled, but he could not say a word.
Jing Rong looked at Lu Hu who was kneeling on the ground and frowned.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
He stood up and restrained his arrogance. He lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at the person in front of him.
Jing Rong said, "Since Teacher Ji has explained this matter clearly and has evidence, he accidentally fell into the well. This Prince can understand Constable Lu's suspicion. However, since this matter is from Teacher Ji, this Prince will believe it. Therefore, this case is closed and there is no need to pursue it further."
"Yes!" Lu Hu was very obedient.
He was like a completely different person.
"It's getting late. It's been a day since we came and went from the yamen. Constable Lu, you should quickly leave with your men. When you return, write a case report for your Lord Huang. Make sure to list everything clearly and not leave out a single detail. At the same time, help this Prince pass a message to your Lord Huang. In the future, if he has the opportunity to come to the capital to become an official, tell him to visit this Prince."
Visit?
These words seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Lu Hu suppressed his anger. "Yes! This humble one will definitely pass on your message. "
"Then why are you still here?" Jing Rong's expression darkened.
