Chapter 199 Pulling out a Big Treasure
Chapter 199 Pulling out a Big Treasure
Luo Hanjiang knew Su Yun; he had been the first saint to appear in the Emperor's Tomb.
He single-handedly annihilated the semi-saints and saints who had invaded the Great Qian Dynasty.
Su Yun pointed to Dai Zui not far away: "Him."
Dai Zui immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "I...I was only following an imperial decree!"
"Sage Luo is truly wise!"
Luo Hanjiang had already made a name for himself through conquest in his early years, and after becoming a saint, he was a rare military strategist with even more outstanding combat power.
Dai Zui was merely the emperor's bodyguard and henchman, a shady character who did his dirty work.
When dealing with subordinates or peers, he can use his connections and influence to intimidate them.
But in front of truly illustrious figures, they are nothing!
The Great Qian Dynasty only has a few sages, so what if Luo Hanjiang doesn't care about politics?
Would the emperor really turn against him over a mere thug?
Su Yun then pointed at Jun Youlan: "And him, trying to use someone else to do his dirty work."
Jun Youlan quickly smiled wryly and said, "This young master has probably misunderstood. I am acting on the Emperor's orders to conduct the trial in the wrong department."
"If you have any doubts, sir, you can refer to this case file."
He glanced at Yu Yanying again, feeling somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, this hothead talked too much and changed the content of the interrogation himself, so now no problem can be seen.
Who knew that this brat actually had a saint behind him!
Jun Youlan glared at Xiao Erke again, "Why did you have to say something like that!"
A top scholar who hasn't even received an official position yet—whoever gets into the Ministry of Justice has a higher official position than you!
This time, instead of making Luo Hanjiang kneel, he was forced to kneel by the law.
Jun Youlan can choose to utter another law to break the original one.
But this is too disrespectful to a saint. Even if it doesn't anger them on the spot, it will cause trouble later.
Jun Youlan could only swallow her anger and kneel down as well.
Luo Hanjiang glanced at the group and said calmly, "Alright, I will report their dereliction of duty to the Emperor."
He had no interest in looking at the files; whatever Su Yun said, he would do!
Does it matter whether it's right or wrong?
Whatever a sage says is right, is right!
Jun Youlan took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the ground slightly.
But he still didn't choose to confront them directly, remaining silent.
Luo Hanjiang said, "It's good for young people to suffer a little. Stay here for a few days."
"Let me know when you need to come out, and I'll have someone pick you up."
He didn't need to know what crime Su Yun had committed, nor did he need to know how he would be punished.
Such a blessed general of the Qianlong era, who dares to kill him, who can kill him?
In Luo Hanjiang's opinion, going to prison for some experience and training wouldn't be bad.
In his youth, he had also ventured into dangerous places, specifically seeking out hardship in chaotic city-states where there were no rules.
Once you've had your fill of the experience, it's time to leave.
Su Yun nodded: "Okay!"
Luo Hanjiang glanced around and said, "Clean the inside up."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After a long pause, the jailer pointed to himself and said, "Huh? You're talking to me?"
So many important figures, yet they only gave instructions to me?
The jailer looked at the commander of the Imperial Guards and then at the Minister of Rites, unsure whether he should carry out the order.
Wow!
The officials from the Ministry of Rites, who had been kneeling on the ground, only dared to stand up after everyone had left.
They all looked tense, pale-faced, and exchanged bewildered glances.
saint!
This child actually knows a saint!
And their relationship is clearly not simple!
The population of the Great Qian Dynasty exceeded 10 billion, and even the capital city of Qian had a population of over 100 million.
But there are only a handful of saints!
Even officials in the capital city might not see the emperor even once a year.
Such an important person actually came to visit me in prison.
They even said... they could release the prisoner at any time?
The officials had a million things to say, but they didn't know how to express them.
He could only stare blankly at his superior, hoping for some advice.
Dai Zui also leaned closer, his body trembling slightly: "Lord Jun, look at this...this young...this young master of the Su family, how does he know the Sage?"
He found himself in a difficult situation, caught in a predicament.
I used to think that a newly crowned champion was more promising than a child.
Unexpectedly, in such a short time, the child has repeatedly taken out his precious treasure.
One whip is enough to give Dai Zui a headache.
Fortunately, due to the imperial decree, the other party could not forcibly escape from prison.
But in the blink of an eye, another saint appeared!
Even the emperor couldn't save his life if he offended a sage.
He's just a bodyguard and thug. If he doesn't cause trouble, he's fine, but if he does, no one will stand up for him!
Jun Youlan took a deep breath and regained his calm demeanor: "Commander Dai, please calm down."
"Doesn't this just confirm that this kid is colluding with the Ministry of War?"
"I think Your Majesty would not want to see Confucianism and military strategy merge."
Upon hearing this, Dai Zui felt that there was some truth to it.
The military strategist was already strong enough; originally, the government was the one providing support, helping to deal with things that brute force couldn't handle.
For example, intangible things like curses, luck, and ghosts can be directly eradicated by official decrees.
Confucianism also follows the principle of "words becoming law." If it can grow to a great size and merge with the military strategist, then the government will have no role to play.
The emperor would certainly not want to see them join forces.
Dai Zui hesitated: "It seems...that makes sense."
Jun Youlan patted him on the shoulder: "Commander Dai, you'd better watch carefully."
"Only when our imperial family becomes powerful can His Majesty feel at ease!"
"The more powerful the person behind this child, the better, so that His Majesty can find a target!"
What he said was half true and half false.
Emperor Qian did indeed desire a powerful empire, but Jun Youlan was also using the guise of assisting the emperor to seek personal gain.
When the government is powerful, the government becomes powerful as well.
As for the overall strength of the Great Qian Dynasty... the Great Qian Dynasty is so powerful that it doesn't care if it weakens in some aspects.
Dai Zui nodded, then became happy again: "Then this humble official will follow your lead, Lord Jun!"
When Qingman saw Luo Hanjiang, she was overjoyed for a moment: "It's that military saint!"
She still remembered the scene at the Emperor's Tomb where Luo Hanjiang single-handedly fought against several saints.
Those who come from military backgrounds are definitely good fighters.
After Luo Hanjiang left, she excitedly exclaimed, "Young Master, we're saved!"
If a sage speaks out, will our situation improve?
Su Yun nodded: "Yes."
He was somewhat helpless. This mother's personal maid had even been to the emperor's tomb, so why was she still so afraid of death?
Grandma Mei sat in the shadows, her eyes somewhat unfocused.
This kid actually has some connections?
If even a sage knows him, then the road ahead shouldn't be so bumpy, right?
However, Grandma Mei wasn't as simple-minded as Qingman.
The crime of murdering the imperial heir is not enough to be committed by a saint alone.
Sure enough, upon hearing the loud conspiracy, Qingman's face paled again: "Young Master, is what they're saying true?"
"Is it because His Majesty wants to support the Emperor that he's targeting you?"
If it's the emperor's will, then the matter becomes complicated.
If we're going to target the military strategists, would Luo Hanjiang's words still be of any use?
Jun Youlan said, "Now that we have identified the mastermind, let's report to the Emperor first!"
Swish!
A refreshing breeze drifted into the prison.
A cold, clear female voice said, "Is this how you conduct trials?"
