Kang Zizhen smacked his lips and said, "Master Lin, it's better not to talk like that. After checking, you can let him go, and it won't delay Master Lin's schedule. If you obstruct him, that won't be good."

Lin Jue sneered and said: "That's not what you said. There is no harm in checking it out. But if the prince's boat is so messed up by you, where is the majesty of the prince's palace? Where is the reputation of the palace? Those outside who don't know the truth will talk nonsense and rumors will spread.

Can you shoulder this responsibility? Let me tell you something you don’t like to hear. If you board this ship to search, it will be disrespectful to the prince. Have you thought about the consequences? "

Kang Zizhen sneered repeatedly and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, please don't use these words to pressure me. Mr. Kang is loyal to the emperor by eating the emperor's salary. I have to fulfill my duty as a pastor and guard for the imperial court. That's where my responsibility lies.

, dare not be negligent. As for you saying that this is disrespectful to the prince, I don’t think so. I just think that this is to protect the reputation of the prince, lest someone do something he doesn’t know under the banner of the prince. Furthermore,

, our Zhou law "Zhou Xingtong" clearly stipulates that there is no high or low before the law, and the princes who break the law are the same as the common people. I conducted an inspection to investigate the case, and I did not offend anyone."

Lin Jue nodded and said: "So, you are determined to conduct a search? You don't take the prince and me seriously at all, do you? You just want to slander me and the prince to be related to this case?"

"What are these words? What do you mean by slandering you? What Mr. Lin said is a bit unreasonable. That's all, I have given Mr. Lin enough face, but Mr. Lin does not understand my painstaking efforts. Tell the truth to Mr. Lin,

Someone saw the thief carrying two women from Wanhualou and Qunfangge aboard the palace ship, so I stopped you here. I originally wanted to show you some mercy, but you insist on making excuses and ask me to tell you.

There is nothing I can do." Kang Zizhen shouted coldly.

Lin Jue was startled and said angrily: "You are so slanderous. Who saw the thief carrying two women on the boat? Who dared to come out and identify him? Do you want to die? Don't the whole family want to live?"

Kang Zizhen looked coldly at Lin Jue who was jumping on the boat and said: "Master Lin, your threats are useless. Don't think you can scare people. Qian Zhongze, tell Master Lin, what did you see?"

Qian Zhongze had been listening to the bickering between Kang Zizhen and Lin Jue. Suddenly he heard his name and was frightened. He realized that he was finally going to play. Of course Kang Zizhen needed to testify himself, so he

The search was justified. It would be best if Chu Xiangxiang and Gu Panpan were found. If the search failed, he would be the one to take the blame, and he would have a reason to shirk it. This was something Qian Zhongze had long understood. But here he was.

At this moment, Qian Zhongze had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Report... report to the magistrate, I saw the two robbed women getting into a carriage belonging to the Lin family, heading all the way to the East River, and boarding the prince's ship." Qian Zhongze shouted in a trembling voice.

"The prince's big ship you mentioned is the one in front of you?" Kang Zizhen smiled crookedly and continued to ask.

"Exactly...exactly this ship. I can see it clearly." Qian Zhongze shouted.

Kang Zizhen turned his head and looked at Lin Jue standing on the bow of the ship with a smile on his face: "Mr. Lin, did you hear that? Someone saw the thief and two women boarding the ship with his own eyes, and... the carriage involved in the crime was yours.

Lin's Boat Company's carriage. What else do you have to say?"

Lin Jue looked furious and shouted angrily: "You are making false accusations by spitting blood. My Lin family's carriage? If it was me, how could I use the Lin family's carriage to pick up people?"

Kang Zizhen looked back at Qian Zhongze with a proud smile on his face. That meant: You see, I was right. Deliberately using the Lin family carriage to commit crimes became his excuse. Qian Zhongze

With a look of admiration on his face, he became even more certain that this matter must have been done by Lin Jue.

"Qian Zhongze, are you crazy? Do you dare to commit perjury to frame me? Don't you want to live?" Lin Jue yelled at Qian Zhongze.

Qian Zhongze mustered up the courage to retaliate: "Whether it is a frame-up or not, we will know once we investigate. What's the use of scaring me? The court has its own laws, and whoever breaks the law will be punished."

Kang Zizhen chuckled and said: "Master Qian, you're right. This is so decent. When enemies meet, they need to have such momentum."

When Qian Zhongze heard this, he puffed up his chest unconsciously.

Lin Jue cursed angrily: "You bastard, do you know what you are doing? You have lost your mind."

Kang Zizhen shouted coldly: "Master Lin, if you threaten the witnesses, I will not obey you. Master Lin, I want to order people to board the ship to search. If you continue to obstruct, you will be obstructing official duties. You are also a court official, and you should know the consequences."

.Come... board the ship and search."

A soldier was shouting his promise, leading more than a hundred people to rush to the edge of the pier.

Lin Jue shouted loudly: "Wait a minute."

Kang Zizhen said in a cold voice: "Lin Jue, you have repeatedly obstructed my official duties. Do you really think that I can't do anything to you? If you continue to obstruct me, don't blame me for being rude."

Lin Jue said loudly: "Kang Zizhen, I just want to ask you, if you don't find anything on the ship, how about the lunch?"

Kang Zizhen laughed and said, "So what? It's just my official duties."

Lin Jue said coldly: "How can you shirk this routine official business? This is the prince's ship. If you go on the boat to search, it is the same as invading the prince's residence. If you find something, it will be fine. If you search,

If you don't come out, you will despise the prince and commit disrespect. You should know the consequences."

How could Kang Zizhen be intimidated by Lin Jue's words? Lin Jue's obstruction in every possible way had actually put people on board. Kang Zizhen had already determined this. Lin Jue's last threatening threats had no effect on Kang Zizhen. Kang Zizhen knew it.

, as long as the two women are found on the big ship today, it will be a huge gain. Not only can this be used to accuse Lin Jue, but it can also be used as a condition of the deal to force the prince to submit. With the implementation of the new law, the prince is a piece of cake.

It is a hard stumbling block. Once you move this stone, everything will be smooth sailing ahead. Having accomplished such a great achievement, I may have to take another step forward. It is not a delusion to worship the prime minister and serve as an envoy. Success or failure depends on today.

Even if we take a step back 10,000, it doesn't matter if we make a miscalculation. It's all on Qian Zhongze. Qian Zhongze perjured himself and he was deceived by him. He also doesn't bear the main responsibility. He will refund another 10 million.

For Bu Li, he was the dignified magistrate of Hangzhou, a popular member of the reform sect, and was backed by the two masters Yan Fang and the emperor. Although Guo Bing was a prince, he had no real power. What would he dare to do to him?

In view of this, Kang Zizhen believed that he was in an invincible position.

"Master Lin, Mr. Kang is dedicated to serving the court and being loyal to the emperor. He is not afraid of intimidation or criticism. Mr. Lin should think about it for himself. If I find relevant evidence on the ship, Mr. Lin will take it seriously.

How should I deal with myself? How should I make excuses? Li Qing, why don't you let me board the ship for search? If anyone dares to resist, he will be arrested immediately." Kang Zizhen shouted loudly.

Li Qing, the leader of the Xiang soldiers, heard the words and gave an order. A group of Xiang soldiers immediately took action, moved the springboard from the pier and put it on the side of the ship. They quickly built a passage to the deck of the ship. After a while, dozens of Xiang soldiers were already there.

Boarded the bow deck.

Lin Jue watched the group of people rushing onto the boat with cold eyes and sneered at the corner of his mouth. Xiaohu gritted his teeth beside him and whispered: "Uncle, let's fight with them."

Lin Jue scolded: "Fuck you! Follow them and watch, lest these people steal our things with dirty hands and feet."

"But……"

"Why don't you go quickly?" Lin Jue shouted with a cold face. Lin Hu had no choice but to turn around and follow a group of soldiers.

On the bow of the ship, Lin Jue stood with his hands behind his hands. On the pier, Kang Zizhen also stood with his hands behind his hands. The two of them stared at each other like cockfighting across a gangplank. Kang Zizhen's face was filled with pride, but Lin Jue's face was ashen.

Looking anxious.

Up and down the river bank, people on boats and some people on the bank were watching from a distance. They also saw that something was unusual. The palace's dragon-headed ship was actually stopped by the prefect's ship, and the soldiers had boarded the ship to search.

, this is simply a unique thing. They can't tell who they support in their hearts. Prince Liang Guo Bing's reputation in Hangzhou is not very good, and bullying by Prince Liang's family happens from time to time. Logically speaking, it makes people happy that someone is going against Prince Liang.

However, the newly appointed Kang Zhifu is not a good person. Since he took office, the people in the city have been complaining because Kang Zizhen's methods of calling for the payment of loan, exempted and assisting silver have been cruel and arrogant, and many people have eaten

It's his fault. This prefect doesn't care whether you have money or whether you can afford it. He just does things according to his own ideas. Secretly, he is called "Kang Papi", which is said to be cruel and domineering. Today's situation is like dog bites dog.

The situation has changed. Prince Liang’s Mansion and Magistrate Kang are both ruthless, but I don’t know who is more ruthless today.

The Hangzhou soldiers were divided into several teams and started searching from the deck to the three-story ship building and the two-story cabin below. However, after all, it was the ship of Prince Liang's house, so these people did not dare to make any mistakes and behaved in a well-behaved manner.

It was a random act. But the search was unambiguous. Basically, all places where people could be hidden were searched.

However, as time went by, groups of soldiers returned to the deck to report the results, which made Kang Zizhen a little anxious. Because each group of soldiers returned to the deck to report the results without any gain. When the team

Just as Li Qing came out of the cabin with the last team of people, Kang Zizhen couldn't wait for Li Qing to come to the dock to report, so he led a group of people to the bow deck to ask.

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

"Reporting to the magistrate, we searched high and low, but we couldn't find the two women." Li Qing reported in a low voice.

Kang Zizhen's scalp was a little numb, but no one was found. This was really unexpected. When the big ship started, he sent people to monitor along both sides of the river bank. During this time, no one left the big ship, and no small boats approached.

In other words, if Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang were kidnapped and placed on the ship, it would be absolutely impossible for them to leave. Why is there no trace now? Could it be said that Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang did not leave at all?

Not on board?

Thinking about it again, it was impossible. It was impossible for Lin Jue not to use the royal ship to take the two women out of the city. He should have known that if he left the two women in Hangzhou, they would be found out by him sooner or later. So he saved

What is the point of being a human? No one dares to harbor these two women unless they are placed in the palace. But unless Lin Jue is crazy, how could he get involved in such a matter in Prince Liang's palace? Prince Guo Bing of Liang will never allow him to do this.

Dry.

After going through the whole thing from beginning to end, the context is actually quite clear. Lin Jue couldn't redeem the person, so he resorted to force. By taking the person out of the city when leaving Hangzhou, and using the royal ship as a hiding tool, it was safe.

It was also secretive. This was a perfect plan to save people and transfer people. He also thought that he would be suspected, so he laid out suspicions to confuse the eye. It can be said that Lin Jue had thought very carefully. In this case, how could he

Leaving people alone in the city? This is absolutely impossible.

Kang Zizhen turned his head to look at Lin Jue and found that Lin Jue's eyes were twinkling. He was not as happy and proud as he should have been at this moment, but seemed a little nervous. Kang Zizhen frowned and thought for a while, then asked Li Qing in a deep voice: "Are you guys going to go up?

Have you searched everything up and down? Is there anything you missed?”

Li Qing whispered: "We have searched everything that needs to be searched. But there is one room that we cannot search."

Kangzi said angrily: "What are these words? Where can't I search?"

Li Qing came close to Kang Zizhen's ear and said: "Sir, Lin Jue's wife is pregnant with Liujia and she is the princess of the palace. How dare we search her residence? It is just a room on a two-story ship. That's all.

I don’t think anyone would hide in the princess’s house. I think it’s unlikely.”

Kang Zizhen frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Search. Even the princess's house must be searched."

Li Qing said blankly: "This is... this is not good."

Kang Zizhen scolded: "Do you want you to talk more?"

Li Qing frowned and said: "This... Sir, you should think twice. I think this is a bit too much. I cannot afford it."

Kang Zizhen said angrily: "You don't want to be in this team anymore. Come with me, I will personally lead the team. Search every house up and down for me."

Kang Zizhen gave the order, and dozens of soldiers dared not obey. Everyone began to search again. Kang Zizhen himself led a dozen soldiers to the boat hall on the second floor.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lin Jue rushed up to the corridor on the second floor of the boat building. Seeing Kang Zizhen leading people towards the room at the end of the corridor, Lin Jue rushed over and stood at the door with arms raised to stop him.
