Chapter 55 Zhao Duan: Do you want to confront me?
Send a proposition!
At this moment, Zhao Duan, who was sitting in the carriage, was curious and wanted to know how Lu Liang would answer.
Although the other party has Li Yanfu's backing, any wrong response to the questioning of his immediate superior will lead to disastrous consequences.
After a brief silence.
The middle-aged censor with a goatee raised his head and said solemnly: "Reporting to Mr. Yuan, since I am a censor in Qingyi, I have the power and responsibility to monitor the misconduct of all officials... …
Now it has been discovered that Zhao Duan, the envoy of the White Horse Prison, is hiding a traitor and is suspected of harboring this woman. This is extremely suspicious. He thinks that he is a low-ranking official and must not turn a blind eye!
Moreover, the official of the government was coerced by Zhao Duan, and because of his humble position, he was daring to interrogate the female thief without authorization... The matter was urgent and he had not yet reported it to Mr. Yuan, but he was willing to be punished despite his humble position! "
After speaking, Lu Liang bowed exaggeratedly, showing off his acting skills.
Even if his behavior was indeed inappropriate after making some nice words, Yuan Li couldn't get into it.
Sure enough, he was a Yan Guan who rose to power through words... He was quick in thinking, and it was almost instinctive to occupy the moral high ground... Zhao Duan sighed.
If you don't know the truth, it's easy to believe his rhetoric.
Unfortunately, what he faced was not the "blinded" Yuan Li, but Yuan Li who had just listened to the details of the case in detail from Zhao Duan a quarter of an hour ago.
"Is that so?" Yuan Li's tone was calm, without any hint of anger or anger: "But why did I learn from His Majesty that the case of Zhuang Xiaocheng has been handed over to Zhao Duan? Since this thief is his disciple, he should be It's up to him to investigate...
I am curious as to which official in the Ministry of Punishment is so strong-willed that he would rather disobey the emperor's appointment than forcefully seize a mere girl. Where are the documents? "
Luliang is speechless!
This is the tiger skin he pulled, his personal behavior, where are the documents from the Ministry of Punishment?
He stood outside the carriage, still bending over and bowing. His face was slightly red under his raised hands.
Forcibly changing the subject, he said suddenly and loudly: "Mr. Yuan, please! According to my humble knowledge, Zhao Duan once interrogated this woman late at night. Along with his frivolous behavior, he also paid attention to the jailer and took good care of this traitor... Such behavior has already been It’s far beyond the scope of investigation!
My subordinates think it should be monitored!”
As his voice spread, the attention of the surrounding people was attracted in an instant.
Mr. Yuan...Zhao Duan...frivolous...the key words are really catchy.
Originally, the crowd in the distance was still curious as to who Lu Yushi was being questioned by, but when he heard the word "Yuan Gong", he immediately began to guess.
But in comparison, what they are more concerned about is the story of "Zhao Duan, the frivolous female thief".
The empress's male favorite is in a golden house... No, the beauty is hidden in a dark house? Fuck in jail? The other party is still a rebel? ...The amount of information was too great, and the outlook of the people in the capital was severely impacted.
Inside the prison van.
With trembling legs and messy black hair, Yun Xi's body suddenly stiffened as she was immersed in unwillingness.
The girl who was leaning out of the prison car turned her head in the direction of Luliang inch by inch, and she was completely stunned.
When she noticed the ambiguous and complicated looks that the people onlookers were looking at her, her vision almost went dark, she took her breath away, her eyes spitting fire, and she struggled wildly "Woo-Woo".
This dog official not only wanted to step on her to become famous, but he also wanted to accuse people of their innocence out of thin air!
"Look, she's anxious. She's anxious. It must be true."
"Not necessarily. If the pretty boy named Zhao is like this, how can the saint tolerate him?"
The people watching were immediately divided into two groups and started a heated debate over whether the notorious Zhao dog had eaten it secretly.
…
inside the carriage.
Zhao Duan had a strange expression as he listened to the sudden increase in noise outside.
He didn't care about some scandals. After all, he had already reported the details to Xu Zhenguan. What he cared about was:
How dare Lu Liang threaten Yuan Li with public opinion?
This must not be the first time for such decisiveness.
But then I thought about it, as Li Yanfu's loyal dog placed inside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, maybe this was Lu Liang's way of survival.
Since ancient times, struggles have been fought with unclear sides, and those who are aggressive often end badly.
"Mr. Yuan, I..." Zhao Duan spoke softly, intending to explain.
But the first-grade official, who was sitting in a lazy and casual posture, just waved his hand and said no.
Immediately, he looked out of the car with deep eyes and said meaningfully: "Are you sure? But that's not what I heard."
Lu Liang was startled. He was surprised that his immediate boss ignored the public opinion and asked for more details.
I also wondered, how could a dignified imperial censor know so much about the details of such a small case?
In the final analysis, Zhao Duan's status was still too low. If it did not involve Kuang Fushe, his actions would not be handed over to the desk of the court boss. Are you trying to deceive me? unimportant.
Because from the time he announced loudly, there was no way out. Lu Liang spoke righteously and resoundingly: "The humble position is natural. Even if Zhao Duan is here, he will dare to confront him."
No... the last time you and I confronted each other, weren't we defeated miserably enough?
Come again?
inside the carriage.
Zhao Duan's face was expressionless. If the situation was not wrong, he would have wanted to get off the car immediately to see how wonderful the other party's face would be.
But considering his bad reputation, he could only think about it after all.
However, the next second, Yuan Li seemed to understand his thoughts, smiled slightly, and suddenly said:
"That's the case, that's fine."
Zhao Duan:? ?
Immediately, Da Qingyi saw the expensive long-handled jade Ruyi gently handed it out and poked the curtain hanging on the side of the carriage.
Lift gently.
…
outside the carriage.
Lu Liang still maintained his bowing posture. When he heard the word "yehao", he was at first confused and then felt intense uneasiness.
An incredible, almost crazy idea grew in my mind and spread rapidly.
But because it was too ridiculous, I didn’t want to believe it.
But his body has been raised sincerely, and his eyes are looking up, looking at the car window lifted up by Yu Ruyi.
A startling glance.
At this moment, Lu Liang clearly saw two figures sitting opposite each other in the car. One was the imperial censor of the dynasty, a well-known figure all over the world.
The other one... was dressed in fine clothes and had a handsome appearance. He was looking down at him coldly from a high position at the moment.
"Zhao...Zhao Duan?!!"
Lu Liang's body suddenly stiffened, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't believe the scene he saw in front of him.
Why did the empress, who was infamous and despised by ordinary people, appear in Yuan Li's car?
And the sitting posture makes it seem like they are talking on equal terms?
This was beyond his imagination.
Not only because of the gulf-like difference in status between the two, but also because Lu Liang was determined that Yuan Li, as the "Qingliu Party Leader", should draw a clear line between himself and people like Zhao Duan.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a stain on the reputation?
…
far away.
Because the curtains were too small and at an awkward angle, the crowd of onlookers was blocked outside, so almost no one outside Luliang could see the scene inside the window.
But Yun Xi is an exception.
Trapped in the prison van, she was naturally at the highest point among the crowd.
Because she was attracted by Lu Liang's frame-up, she happened to see the floating curtains and the car window, that... hateful face that she had hated so much and missed a little not long ago.
"Zhao...thief?!"
Yun Xi murmured, almost thinking that she had misjudged the heat stroke.
The martial artist Zhao Duan in the car was inspired and noticed Yun Xi's gaze. He raised his eyes and glanced at her from a distance across the crowd.
"We meet again, rebel girl."
She seemed to understand Zhao Thief's gaze.
But just for a moment, Zhao Duan lowered his eyes and no longer looked at her, but calmly looked down at the Tiezui Censor who was bowing to him outside.
"What do you mean you want to confront me?" Zhao Duan didn't seem to hear clearly.
Lu Liang was in a daze, feeling that the whole world was shaking.
