Infinite Predator of the Heavens

Chapter 112 Zhou Cheng's Interrogation
However, Chen Ming is the owner of Chenjiazhuang after all. He has been running Chenjiazhuang for so many years. Although he has a lot of wine and food under his hands, he also has such clever servants.

Seeing that his owner was invited away by Jin Yiwei's people, he immediately knew that Chen Ming was in trouble.

So after Jin Yiwei left, the servant left Zhuangzi immediately, rode a detour on horseback, rode his horse faster, and rushed in front of Jin Yiwei and others, and entered Dadong City.

When they arrived at Dadong City, the servant immediately rushed to the Earl's Mansion to report the news to Chen Ming's uncle.

Chen Ming's uncle, Zhou Cheng, was at home listening to the opera with his concubine. Hearing the servant's report, he was a little displeased. He disliked that this troublesome nephew disturbed his pleasure.

But helpless, after all, Chen Ming is his own nephew, and it was Jin Yiwei who took him. If he rushed there late, he would be beaten up by those vicious people.

At that time, his sister doesn't know how to ramble.

So in order to keep his ears clean, Zhou Cheng still had to take this trip.

Jinyiwei is not an ordinary institution, if it is an ordinary yamen, then Zhou Cheng can almost take care of things by handing in his own post.

Jin Yiwei is not just someone who can submit a post, it also depends on who is in charge of the other party and what the case is involved.

The news brought by the servants only said that Chen Ming was taken away by Jin Yiwei's people, but did not specifically say who was in charge of the other party.

If this was an order from the commander of Jinyiwei, and if it involved a major treason case, then Zhou Cheng would not dare to go, let alone his own nephew, even his own son.

So, he had to go for it himself.

If you don't hand out posts casually and leave people with any excuses, then the gain outweighs the loss.

This is Zhou Cheng's consistent behavior style and the principle he believes in, that is, the premise of helping others is to remove himself.

Even if you haven't been picked clean, don't rush to save people. That way, people may not be rescued, but you will get in instead.

After ordering his servants to prepare the sedan chair, Zhou Cheng quickly left the Earl's Mansion and went to the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town in person.

But what surprised him was that the person on duty in Beizhen Fusi said that they didn't know why the Jinyiwei colleagues arrested Chen Ming.

After checking the files, there was no incident between Chen Ming and the old Orion.

"What does this mean? Could it be that someone is pretending to be your Jin Yiwei doing something?"

Zhou Cheng asked suspiciously.

"not like this."

The Jinyiwei commander on duty shook his head and said: "Our Jinyiwei's yamen is unlike other institutions where all case files need to be compiled.

Here, many colleagues who go out to act have a lot of discretion, and they can act cheaply when they are outside.

I can’t say, maybe your nephew committed something and bumped into their hands, so they arrested your nephew for questioning.

Because my colleagues haven't come back yet, the dossier hasn't been established yet, so naturally it's gone. "

"Then do you know what colleague arrested my nephew and where is he being interrogated now?"

Zhou Cheng frowned, feeling that something was a bit troublesome.

Sure enough, the commander of Jin Yiwei shook his head again, and replied: "I really don't know about this, because we don't have one or two teams for our outing.

Some action teams, even beyond my authority, are directly dispatched by our command and envoy adults.

So, I really don't know which action team captured your nephew. "

"Then... Thank you, Lord Mao, for letting me know. I'll go back and find a way."

Zhou Cheng bid farewell politely, and left the yamen of Fusi in Jinyiwei North Town.

"There are so many action teams, and they don't even know which team caught them. Where can I find them?"

Zhou Cheng frowned deeply, and walked slowly to the sedan chair parked outside the yamen.

To be honest, Zhou Cheng is not very close to his nephew.

In particular, Chen Ming often used his banner to act mischievously. He knew about it and said it several times.

However, relying on his mother's doting, Chen Ming never restrained himself or improved at all.

And Zhou Cheng has only one younger sister, Chen Ming's mother, and the relationship between the siblings was very good when they were young.

Even after reaching adulthood, Zhou Cheng inherited his father's title and his sister married Chen Ming's father, but the two families still had contact.

So once Zhou Cheng was stricter with Chen Ming, his sister would come to the house to talk and intercede.

He liked to wipe away tears while talking, which made Zhou Cheng very impatient.

This time it's good, Chen Ming caused trouble, but Jin Yiwei got into trouble.

Is Jin Yiwei easy to provoke?
Regardless of the fact that the commander of Fusi in Beizhen just now was just a fourth-rank official, he was also very polite to him.

But that's because Zhou Cheng didn't have anything to do with the other party, and as a member of the nobles, Zhou Cheng has a good relationship with Jinyiwei.

If one day something happened to Zhou Cheng and he was caught by the other party, no matter what Uncle Xunyang he was, even if he was a duke, he would probably be beaten to the point of crying in Jinyiwei Prison.

Because there is only one direct superior of Jin Yiwei, and that is the current sage Chen Yuan.

He is the emperor's man, so you are nothing in the eyes of others.

I can accuse you of treason at will. The higher your title, the more the emperor will hate you for rebelling. When the time comes, the people in the Imperial Guard will watch your actions and deal with you more harshly.

You said that you did not seek rebellion, Jin Yiwei wronged you?
I'm sorry, to the emperor, treason is an extremely sensitive scale, and it's death if you touch it.

Even if you were really wronged, wouldn't you be tortured if you entered Jinyiwei Prison?
Unless you have some backing, you can talk to the emperor at a critical moment, or gain friendship with the commander of Jin Yiwei, and you will be able to receive a fair trial.

Otherwise, what would Jin Yiwei do?That is to specifically search for treason and discover major cases of treason.

The more people rebel, the more it proves the value of Jinyiwei's existence.

Do you think they will deliberately give in to the crime, or will they acquit you?
Zhou Cheng stood outside the Fusi yamen in Jinyiwei North Town and sulked for a while, then boarded his sedan chair and headed home.

But when their Jiaozi passed by a street, Zhou Cheng noticed the conversation of the people on the street.

"Second Brother Wang, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Hey, you don't know yet? On Qianmen Street, there are immortals descending to the earth, and they are judging civil cases with the emperor!"

"What the hell, the immortal descended to earth? Brother Wang, you have listened to too many books, have you lost your head?"

"Hey, if you don't believe me, just drag it. Anyway, I went to see it, so don't follow me, so I still have a chance to watch it!"

"Hey, really, wait for me, Second Brother Wang!"

Zhou Cheng, who was sitting in the sedan chair, opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out into the street with his head.

Sure enough, there were individual people who were in a hurry and ran towards another street.

"and many more."

Zhou Cheng immediately stopped the bearers, and ordered: "Follow them to have a look."

"Yes, sir."

When the two porters heard the words, they immediately turned around and headed towards Qianmen Street.

Before reaching Qianmen Street, the street gradually became full of people, and the speed of the two bearers became slower and slower. When they reached the corner of Qianmen Street, they were already blocked by people, and the crowds were still coming. It is increasing, and it seems that if they can't get in and don't retreat, they will be blocked inside.

"Master, what shall we do?"

The bearer was a little flustered, it's okay for them to be stuck here, the key point is that there is an earl sitting in the sedan chair, if something happens to him, they can't bear it.

"Get off the sedan chair."

Zhou Cheng knocked on the sedan door with his foot, the bearer stopped immediately, and then tilted the sedan door to make it easier for Zhou Cheng to come out.

"You go back to the mansion. If my mother asks, she will say that I am busy with Chen Ming's business outside."

Zhou Cheng waved his hand and sent two bearers to leave with the sedan chair. Then he turned around and squeezed towards Qianmen Street.

"Hey, what are you squeezing, can't you move without seeing me?"

"You stepped on my foot!"

"What's it called? Who hasn't been trampled yet?"

"Calm down, don't you bother me? You're all twitters, aren't you?"

"What's wrong with you girls? What's wrong with you girls?"

There are also tough women in the crowd. These women who have been married for many years are not as shy as young girls, nor as gentle as young daughter-in-laws. Their voices are louder than men, and Zhou Cheng's ears are almost buzzing.

These people all wanted to go to Qianmen Street to see the legendary immortal, but Qianmen Street and the square on the street certainly couldn't accommodate too many people, so even though these people squeezed hard, it was still difficult to squeeze in.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Jin Yiwei handles the case, let me get out of the way!"

Just when Zhou Cheng was at his wit's end, suddenly a few shouts came from behind him.

He turned his head to look, and found that it was a group of Jinyi Guards, with embroidered spring knives on their waists, walking from a distance, apparently intending to enter Qianmen Street.

Jin Yiwei's prestige is still there, and those ordinary people were huddling around in a mess just now, when they heard that they were Jin Yiwei's people, they immediately avoided to the sides, fearing that they would be arrested and questioned by this group of Jin Yiwei.

As an earl, Zhou Cheng was naturally not very afraid of Jin Yiwei. He took the opportunity to get away from the crowd, walked behind Jin Yiwei, and walked into Qianmen Street together.

When he arrived at Qianmen Street, Zhou Cheng was a little surprised immediately.

The Qianmen Street, which was originally five or six meters wide, was densely packed with people. These people were whispering, inquiring about each other, and chattering nonsense. The chaos was several times more noisy than the vegetable market.

Fortunately, Jin Yiwei cleared the way, Zhou Chengcheng followed closely, and entered the square in the middle of Qianmen Street smoothly.

Arriving at the square, Zhou Cheng opened his eyes again.

On the square with a radius of several tens of feet, there were people rubbing shoulders and moving heads, and only in the middle were two chairs. A middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe was sitting on the right side, and a young man was sitting on the right side. Sitting left in robe.

The one in the dragon robe is naturally the emperor Chen Yuan, Zhou Cheng has seen it before.

Although Zhou Cheng was only a small earl, he was also a noble class. On weekdays, whenever there were banquets or events in the palace, ministers and some nobles would be invited to attend.

So Zhou Cheng entered the palace more than once, and saw Chen Yuan's appearance from a distance.

Besides, even if he didn't know what the emperor looked like, the other party dared to run around in the street wearing a dragon robe, and there were imperial guards in the distance, and those Jinyi guards who cleared the way for Zhou Cheng also came to him. , that person is Chen Yuan, the current sage.

Otherwise, the Imperial Forest Army and Jin Yiwei would have arrested that man and put him in prison long ago, and then all kinds of torture would have to be staged in turn.

As the Jinyiwei who cleared the way for Zhou Cheng arrived in front of the emperor, Zhou Cheng also suddenly discovered that there was another team of Jinyiwei in front of the emperor, and his nephew was also beside him, but that Chen Ming was kneeling in front of the emperor. , talking about something.

Zhou Cheng's heart suddenly rose.

"God, who did you offend, you idiot, and how did you get involved with the emperor?"

Zhou Cheng looked at the emperor's unsightly expression, and suddenly trembled with fright.

He had been curious before, who asked Jin Yiwei to arrest his nephew.

The commander of Jin Yiwei said that it was not his order, but the action team that went out did it.

Now the truth was revealed. It was actually the emperor who personally ordered the Jinyi Guards to arrest Chen Ming.

This made Zhou Cheng's complexion turn pale, his heart pounding, all he could think about was that Jin Yiwei had arrested his nephew, and that the mastermind was the current Holy One.

What did that prodigal child do?

He must have hidden some illegal equipment in Chenjiazhuang, right?
Could it really be rebellion? !
Will it implicate myself, the hereditary earl of my family, can I continue?

Thinking that he might be implicated, Zhou Cheng was so frightened that his legs went limp.

If it weren't for the people around him hugging him forward, he might have fallen to the ground.

But after getting closer, he heard that the emperor asked Chen Ming for questioning, and what he was talking about was not a big case of treason, but about accidentally hurting the old Orion.

This made Zhou Cheng heave a sigh of relief immediately, and his whole body was dripping with cold sweat, as if he had just been scooped out of the water.

"Chen Ming, you can be considered a noble son and have gone to school. All the books you read are on dogs?"

Chen Yuan's face was not very good-looking, "Injured someone by mistake. I originally paid money to apologize and healed the person, so it was over. But you kid, you ran away without saying a word?
What, dare to do it or not?

If you didn't run away at that time, but treated him in time, maybe the old man would be fine! "

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's all Xiaomin's fault, it's all Xiaomin's fault, Xiaomin knows his mistake, and Xiaomin will never do similar things again in the future, Xiaomin will definitely abide by the law and be a good person in the future, please forgive Xiaomin Min this time!"

Chen Ming knelt on the ground, repeatedly begging for mercy.

He was terrified when Jin Yiwei brought him here.

The person who invited him here was actually the current emperor!
Although he has an uncle who is an earl, he doesn't have any position, and he hasn't taken an examination for fame, so he doesn't even have the qualifications to stand in front of the emperor.

These are all trivial matters. The most important thing is that the emperor personally asked him about accidentally killing Orion.

This is a matter that the emperor pays attention to. If the answer is not good, he may be convicted, or even more serious, and offend the emperor. The emperor may kill him in a fit of anger.
