Even Lord Zheng wanted to find a master to check if there was something wrong with him recently. Why did this kind of shocking thing happen all the time? Moreover, both sides were from different factions in the imperial court and were not to be trifled with.
"Come on, send Young Master Cheng to the clinic."
Lord Zheng didn't dare to let Minister Cheng's son kill anyone.
The eldest son of Minister Cheng Meng of the Ministry of War died young. After that, he had been working hard to continue the family line. He had many concubines and they gave birth to "seven fairies", but only Cheng Yue was his only son.
Minister Cheng didn't expect Cheng Yue to have a bright future. He just wanted him to continue the family line peacefully. Therefore, he wasn't very strict with him. That was why he was spoiled and raised to have a reckless temperament.
Ever since Cheng Meng became the Minister of War, Cheng Yue's domineering behavior became even more severe. He often got together with his friends who were also in the yamen and often caused some trouble. Lord Zheng had been in the Warden's Office for a long time and often dealt with these foppish sons of rich families. For the sake of his father's relationship with them, he usually turned a blind eye and let them off easily.
Who knew that Cheng Yue would take things so hard that he would go against the Family Qin people?
If it was in the past, Lord Zheng could certainly cover for him.
But now, Your Majesty valued Qin Huaiyuan the most. He had been forced to stand on the Emperor's side.
He thought that since he stood on the Emperor's side, they wouldn't make trouble and live in peace. Who would have thought that the faction supported by the Lu family would go against Qin Huaiyuan's faction that supported the Emperor?
Now that the public opinion of this case was so strong and he was in charge of it, Lord Zheng couldn't cover for either side.
"Miss Qin." Lord Zheng came to the carriage and cupped his hands, "Miss Qin, you have to go to the Five Cities Warden's Office today."
Young Man said, "My girl is the victim. The culprit is that group of unreasonable people. Why do you still want to arrest my girl?"
Lord Zheng quickly said, "Miss Qin, don't misunderstand. I'm not arresting you this time. I just need to ask some questions."
Qin Yining had been waiting for this moment. He said in a friendly voice, "Sir, there's no need to make things difficult for me. I'll go with you. I also believe that you'll be able to give me a clear explanation."
"Yes, that is my duty. I will naturally deal with it impartially."
"That's good." Qin Yining's voice was very gentle, making people feel comfortable.
It was very common for a girl to bring her family to the market in a carriage. Unfortunately, they were met with this group of second-generation nobles charging their horses.
Coupled with the incident in Qin Huaiyuan a few days ago and the same group of people involved in today's incident, Lord Zheng could already conclude that this should be a long-planned revenge.
Presumably, the yamen was also very surprised at this moment. No one would have thought that a young lady's bodyguard would have such a strong martial arts prowess.
However, Lord Zheng could understand.
For example, Cheng Yue was the only son of Minister Cheng's family. Qin Yining was the only daughter of Qin Huaiyuan. Qin Huaiyuan didn't even have a son. He only had this one daughter.
Speaking of which, compared to Minister Cheng and the "Seven Fairies", Qin Huaiyuan doted on Qin Yining less than Minister Cheng doted on his only son.
This was really a bad debt!
After persuading Qin Yining, Lord Zheng turned to persuade the group of second-generation nobles who were flustered and exasperated.
Compared to Qin Yining, who was well-educated and reasonable, this group of people was not so easy to deal with. Since Lord Zheng's persuasion failed, he had to resort to forceful means. In a half-soft, half-hard way, he brought them back to the yamen of the Five Cities Warden's Office.
Qin Yining's carriage slowly came to a stop. Bing Tang, Ji Yun, and Lian Xiaozhou got off the carriage one after another. Finally, they came forward to help Qin Yining.
On the other side, several yamen officials looked over curiously. They wanted to see what kind of woman could charm Prince Zhongshun to the point that he didn't care about avenging his father's death and forcibly snatched her back.
They saw a fair hand reach out and place it on the maidservant's hand. Then, they saw a beautiful face that was as beautiful as peach blossoms. As she got off the carriage, everyone's eyes were glued to her body.
She was born with an exquisite figure. Her height was considered average among northern women, but was considered tall among southern women. She glanced coldly at them. Her bright and beautiful almond-shaped eyes flashed. She didn't say a word, but she could seduce people's souls.
No wonder! No wonder Prince Zhongshun couldn't get past the beauty's charms!
The yamen officials didn't feel good for a moment. They didn't even get to take advantage of her today. Qin Yining didn't get off the carriage, and they didn't hear her retort.
Could it be that they could only watch foolishly?
But now, they really couldn't think of a way to get this person.
Everyone walked to the front hall.
Official Zheng ordered people to serve tea to both sides.
The young man who was slapped by Jing Zhe drank a mouthful of tea. He pointed at Jing Zhe, who was standing behind Qin Yining, and shouted, "Official, this person committed a violent crime on the street. Why didn't you arrest him?!"
Jing Zhe and the other three people followed Bing Tang and stood quietly behind Qin Yining with their heads lowered. Jing Zhe didn't even raise his eyebrows in the face of the young man's accusation. He still kept his head lowered and looked very obedient.
At this time, the secret agents looked like ordinary people's attendants. It was impossible to tell that they were people with skills like the one just now.
If it wasn't for the young man's swollen face in front of him, Official Zheng wouldn't have believed it.
Official Zheng asked, "Did this person really commit a violent crime?"
Qin Yining raised his eyes to look at Official Zheng and said gently, "My attendants only wanted to protect their master. Today's situation was very bad. We didn't provoke them first. We were just walking on the street when this group of people rode their horses and charged towards us. My attendants are trained in martial arts. In order to protect me, they killed the leader's horse.
"As for that person who was sent to the yamen of the medical center, he fell because he wasn't skilled enough. It has nothing to do with my attendants.
"And this young master."
After saying this, Qin Yining raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man with the swollen face. His gaze was penetrating, as if he could see through the depths of that person's heart.
The young man only felt his face heat up. Even the slap didn't hurt. Being stared at by a beauty like this, he felt a little dizzy.
Qin Yining's voice was still neither fast nor slow. He said gently and politely, "This young master's face was indeed slapped by my attendants. However, my attendants aren't people who hit people for no reason. It's just that their words were too filthy."
Official Zheng asked, "What did they say?"
When Qin Yining heard this, he lowered his head and said, "Filthy words. It's very embarrassing. It doesn't matter if Official Zheng doesn't believe me. There were many witnesses on the street just now. Official Zheng can ask anyone."
Official Zheng nodded. He was very satisfied with Qin Yining's gentle and polite attitude.
However, before Official Zheng could say anything, the young man who was closer to Cheng Yue began to argue.
These people were all sons of officials. For a moment, Official Zheng didn't know how to deal with them.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a commotion suddenly came from outside.
Immediately after, someone in the corridor shouted in a panic, "Sir! Bad news! Minister Cheng has surrounded our yamen with his soldiers! "
"What!"
Official Zheng stood up abruptly. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Although the Minister of War was in charge of the Ministry of War, he couldn't move soldiers as he pleased. Your Majesty had to give the order to move soldiers, and the Tiger Seal had to match.
Now that Minister Cheng had secretly moved soldiers to surround the Five Cities Warden's Office, it was obvious that he was really angry because of his beloved son's coma. He didn't care about anything else!
A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Official Zheng's back.
If this matter wasn't handled well, it was very likely that it would lead to chaos in the city. When Your Majesty blamed him, it wasn't something a small commander like him could bear.
Official Zheng was about to walk out.
However, after taking two steps, he stopped. He turned around to look at the group of arrogant people in the yamen, and then looked at the attendants beside Qin Yining who looked ordinary but were actually very skilled.
With him here, these people wouldn't dare to be impudent.
If he wasn't here, if he didn't manage to persuade them outside and a fight broke out in the room, and a few more people got injured, he might not even be able to keep his position.
Thinking of this, Official Zheng hurriedly ordered his most capable attendant, "Go, quickly go outside and ask Minister Cheng to come in. Remember, you must persuade him nicely. "
"Yes."
The attendant hurriedly left the room and went through the hall to the front door.
Who would have thought that just as he poked half his body out of the door, he would be frightened by the scene in front of him!
The location of the yamen wasn't considered remote, but there were many people and residents around.
Now, the people walking around were so scared that they retreated.
The people brought by Minister Cheng Yue had already surrounded the entrance of the Minister of War's office.
The other party had brought more than five hundred people, which was more than a hundred times the number of people in the Five Cities Warden's Office. Just by looking at the group of people at the front and seeing that they were all pale with fright, it was enough to see how tense the situation was.
The attendant swallowed his saliva and hurriedly gathered his courage to persuade him.
Minister Cheng was now over forty years old, but his body was tall and his face was full of fierceness. He didn't look like someone who was almost fifty years old.
He originally had a rough appearance. Now that he was furious, his thick eyebrows were raised even more, as if he couldn't wait to swallow people into his stomach.
Perhaps because of Official Zheng's face, or perhaps because Minister Cheng himself knew that he couldn't make a big deal of this matter, he finally followed into the yamen.
"All of you, guard outside. Don't move without my orders."
"Yes!" The officers and soldiers replied in unison.
Minister Cheng strode all the way to the front hall.
When Official Zheng saw that Minister Cheng was willing to come in, he immediately let out a sigh of relief and welcomed him with a smile.
Who would have thought that Minister Cheng would push Official Zheng away and point at Qin Yining and curse, "You bastard! You dare to harm my son! Give me your life! "
As he spoke, he rushed over with a fist.
Who would have thought that the Minister of War would actually attack the yamen of the Five Cities Warden's Office?
Everyone was caught off guard and was shocked for a moment.
