The empty yard seemed a little crowded at this time. More than 20 soldiers with swords and spears were surrounding the dozen guards around Li Ling. At the same time, outside the yard, twenty or thirty soldiers surrounded the courtyard, not allowing anyone to enter and exit. Ten of them actually had bows and arrows in their hands, aiming at the yard.

Because of this, the guards did not dare to make extreme actions, but they could not hide their anger on their faces. Fu Xiong, the leader, even shouted: "You are so brave..." But when someone forced him to scold him, he didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

Seeing this scene, Li Ling's face suddenly sank. He swept his eyes to the soldiers and quickly settled on the face of the general wearing armor and holding his waist with his sword in front of the door: "What are you doing?"

The officers on his body were so powerful that the general was stunned, but then he raised his waist and snorted: "I am here to get the thief. I heard that there are bold mad people here who dare to make trouble in the government office and bring out three criminals. Our Ministry of Justice is in charge of the world's criminal affairs, so we will naturally come to get people."

"Are you talking about the Chu brothers?" Li Ling calmed down a little, took two steps forward, stared at the other party's eyes and asked.

"That's right, hand over the people, and then you all go with me."

"Why? What crime did they commit? Also, I brought them out from the Luoyang Prefecture Office, and I accepted them with the permission of Luoyang Yin. What right does your Ministry of Justice have to hand me over to someone else and go with you to get the crime?" Li Ling's momentum rose again, and raised a series of questions.

"Just because we are the Ministry of Justice!" The general of the army obviously did not want to have a lot of quarrels with Li Ling, so he immediately ordered decisively, "Come on, take them all down for me! Those who dare to resist will be punished as accomplice!"

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately rushed up.

"I see who dares!" As soon as they moved, Li Ling shouted loudly, and at the same time, his sleeves shook, he took out his official position and lit up in front of the general, "I am the decent imperial court, the prefect of Yangzhou, who dares to be arrogant!"

This made all the soldiers shocked. The movement of trying to pounce on the man was even more stopped. Then everyone looked at their boss and waited for him to give orders.

After seeing Li Ling's official edict, the general was obviously shocked. He was just a seventh-rank military officer and did not have the conclusive search documents of the Ministry of Justice. He really didn't dare to attack a court official. At the same time, he even roared in his heart: "You are an imperial official, why don't you stay in a hotel in the capital, but you have to stay in an inn like an ordinary citizen... If you are in an inn, would I dare to come and get people so carelessly?"

Although these words were not said, Li Ling could see some of his eyes and trembling face, knowing that he had become timid. He snorted again: "What's your name? Any position in the Ministry of Justice? Today I dare to be arrogant in front of me. I will go to the Ministry of Justice and ask your boss for an explanation!"

"I am also in charge!" Wan Shenji was worried that Li Ling, a foreign enemy, would not have enough weight, so he immediately lit up the waist card of his Imperial City Division and shook it in front of the general.

Just this time, the mentality of the military general who identified these two identities was completely broken. Thinking about the people who work in the capital, life is really hard. If you want to commit anything with someone, you have to be careful, for fear of offending a powerful and high-ranking official.

Today, I finally knew that I was going to a small inn with no fame to get someone. He also felt that this time he could not only show off his might, but maybe he could also get some benefits. But in the end, he hit the iron plate again, which really won't leave any way for himself.

He felt sad in his heart that the general of the army knelt on one knee and reported his identity at the reception: "Feng Gui, the general of the Supervisor of the Ministry of Justice, please forgive me. This is also... He is also acting on orders. I don't know the identity of the adults. There are many conflicts!"

The generals in the lead were so soft that the other soldiers could not be arrogant anymore. They all put away their weapons and then knelt down in the yard. The outside was still full of panic, fearing that the inn owner and the staff were stunned. Unexpectedly, there was such a big man living in his shop.

As for the other guests on both sides of the yard on Li Ling's side, they were quite calm. When the members of the Ministry of Justice came over with murderous intent, they had already guessed that this would be the result, so they all turned on the show mode, just because they were almost holding a handful of melon seeds in their hands.

Li Ling looked at him with a dark face for a moment before saying, "So which of the Ministry of Justice asked you to bring someone here? Is there any evidence of the crime in the relevant documents?"

"No...no." Because Li Ling did not let him get up, Feng Gui could only kneel down and replied, his momentum fell to a low point, and his voice was particularly small. "We acted under the order of Shen Yuanwai, the Supervisor's Office..."

"Then you go back and tell Mr. Shen that there is no conclusive evidence. Even the Ministry of Justice cannot take people randomly. This is a little advice from me, Li Ling. Go!" As he said that, Li Ling waved his hand and signaled that they could leave like driving away flies.

"But sir, those three suspects..." The man had already stood up, but Feng Gui did not leave immediately. Instead, hesitantly glanced at the closed room over there. He had to go back empty-handedly, so he couldn't handle the job.

Li Ling hummed again: "Have you not explained the matter clearly? There is no search document or evidence of guilt, and no one can take people randomly. If you, Mr. Shen, refuse to give up, let him come here to see me by himself."

Seeing Li Ling's determination, he looked at the Imperial City Office officials who were even more frightened by him. Feng Gui finally did not dare to insist anymore. After bent down and saluted, he took the people to retreat quickly.

It came suddenly and went faster. With just a meal, all the fifty officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Justice left the inn. It was not until this time that the shopkeepers and men in the store came forward to greet each other, and they were both pleased and apologized. It was obvious that they had been the way they had led before. Seeing that Li Ling had a higher status, he was naturally a little frightened.

Li Ling was really worried about this and could understand their difficulties. He just comforted him a few words and sent them away. Then, he called Li Xu again and asked him to see the three brothers of the Chu family and comfort them.

It was not until all these things were done that Li Ling brought Wan Shenji back to the room again. There was a flash of light in both of them, and they almost said the same thing:

"People should be in the Ministry of Justice!"

Yes, although the arrival of the Ministry of Justice disturbed Li Ling and made him quite unhappy, their appearance also brought an answer to him. Chu Shiwu should be in the hands of the Ministry of Justice, and this case must have nothing to do with the Ministry of Justice.

Because if it weren't for this, the Ministry of Justice would send people for no reason after being full, and even wanted to bring Li Ling and others back? It wasn't because they were guilty after learning about beating drums and making injustice that they thought of simply taking down the three brothers of the Chu family. Even Luoyang Prefecture had the same idea, originally planned to take the people, and wait for the Ministry of Justice to come to the door and hand them over to them, and sell them a good one.

But because of Li Ling's appearance, their overall plan was disrupted. Then Luoyang Prefecture followed the flow and left itself clear, and the Ministry of Justice decisively wanted to hold people after receiving the news. The only difference is that Luoyang Prefecture knew Li Ling's identity, but the Ministry of Justice did not know. So in this way, it exposed itself, allowing Li Ling to guess that Chu Shiwu was in the Ministry of Justice.

After saying this, Li Ling suddenly laughed: "I am really stupid, in fact, the answer has been in front of me, why did I ignore it before?"

"What does this mean by sir?" Wan Shenji said in confusion.

"They all said that Chu Shiwu wanted to behead him in the autumn. Let me ask, besides the Ministry of Justice, which other yamen in the capital can have the power to be punished for the autumn?" Li Ling laughed and shook his head. He was not an official in the capital, but he actually forgot all this common sense. Fortunately, it is not too late to know now.

But then, his smile retracted. When he was in the Ministry of Justice, things were probably becoming more and more difficult, because that was far from the real power yamen that he could deal with. Moreover, the one who really took charge of the Ministry of Justice was Yong Wang Sun Lin!

In addition to the prince, Sun Lin, the only prince in the court with real power, is not only deeply favored by the current emperor, but also his own gang members, and even poses a great threat to the position of the prince.

These few things alone are enough to make any court official feel tricky. For Li Ling, the bigger problem is that there are still grudges between him and King Yong. When he first entered the court after the imperial examination, he was deliberately attracted by King Yong, and then he found that he was used by someone and almost became a victim of attacking the prince.

Fortunately, Li Ling responded in time, so he escaped unscathed and was appreciated by the emperor. However, this also completely offended King Yong. Although King Yong did not dare to take revenge for some reasons, Li Ling did not dare to be a head-on enemy, as it was a completely contest between eggs and diamonds.

But who would have thought that after a few years, he actually stood opposite King Yong again, and this time the matter seemed even more serious, so he took the initiative to become King Yong's opponent.

Li Ling's brows frowned tightly, and Wan Shenji also frowned. He also understood how serious the matter was. After a while, he tentatively said: "Sir, this matter..."

Li Ling waved his hand, stopped his persuasion, and then slowly exhaled: "Things are more serious than I thought, but as the saying goes, life is at stake! Since I have taken this step, there is no reason to give up halfway. Besides, the Ministry of Justice is afraid that I have already known that I have interfered in this matter."
