Seeing two catchers coming over with ropes, Lin Ming swung his sleeves and said coldly: "You tie me up and try, once tied, its not so easy to untie."
"Untie? You stupid fool still wants to untie? Once youre tied up, youll never be able to untie again, hahaha!" Wang Yigao heard Lin Ming say something so ridiculous and burst out laughing, but soon thought that as the "victim", laughing like this wasnt quite right, and this sentence clearly had a hint of wanting to get someone killed in prison...
As expected, Wang Yigao turned his head and saw Zhao Mingshan looking at him with a somewhat ugly expression. Wang Yigao coughed dryly and said in an embarrassed tone: "Brother Zhao is handling the case, I just cant stand it, this kid is too damn arrogant."
Lin Ming patted the dust off his body and said to Zhao Mingshan, "The Seventh Xuanwu Academys grand examination is about to begin. Youre in charge of maintaining order, yet when someone galloped down the official road, wielding a spear and injuring people, you didnt come. Later, when someone instructed their subordinates to gather and fight, attempting to cripple me, you still didnt come. But when I fought back with my spear, you arrived. You didnt ask any questions about the onlookers on the road, yet you immediately declared me guilty of injuring others. How wise of you!"
Lin Mings words were neither fast nor slow, and every word pierced the heart. Even Zhao Mingshan, who had seen many things in his life, felt a chill in his heart. This kid has some guts, to be so calm at this time, what does he rely on?
Zhao Mingshan glared at Lin Ming, feeling that todays matter could no longer be delayed. In a rage, he shouted: "This official is acting, its not for you to comment! Have him tied up!"
At his command, the rope was already around Lin Mings neck. With Lin Mings skills, he couldnt defeat Zhao Mingshan who had achieved great success in practicing the fourth stage of Body Tempering, so he didnt resist.
"Make way, all of you make way!"
Lin Ming looked up and saw a chubby young man holding a lunch box, twisting his body to squeeze in. This person was Lin Xiaodong. Earlier, Lin Ming had been meditating here, while Lin Xiaodong went out to buy breakfast and just returned.
Lin Xiaodong saw Lin Mings neck tied with a rope and immediately got angry, "Damn! What the hell are you tying people up for?"
Zhao Mingshan didnt know where this fat guy came from, and was just about to wave his hand to have him chased away. But at that moment, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye. He turned around to see a spark of fire extinguished in Lin Mings hand.
Transmission symbol?
Zhao Mingshans eyelid twitched, the Transmission Symbol could record a segment of sound and then transmit it to a specific location, obviously, this young man had just unknowingly recorded his voice and sent it out.
This guy!
Zhao Mingshan looked at the young man again, and for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart. Today, he had offended him, and later on, he would definitely take revenge. It seemed that it was really necessary to indulge Wang Yigao in getting rid of him; otherwise, there would be future troubles.
But...the key is who exactly was he transmitting to?
The person who received Lin Mings transmission was naturally Mu Yi. Last time, Lin Ming had entrusted Mu Yi to keep the secret of his Seal Script, and Mu Yi had said that as long as the Generals Mansion was around, Lin Ming would be absolutely safe in Tianyun City. If he encountered any trouble, he could just use the Transmission Symbol to notify him, and Mu Yi had also left behind a Transmission Symbol imprint.
Lin Ming, although hot-blooded, was not a person who acted on impulse without considering the consequences. Before he struck Wang Yigao, he had already made calculations in his mind. He wouldnt let a petty person like him damage his pride, and owing Mo Yi a favor could be repaid another day.
Although Mu Yi is now a guest of the Generals Mansion and the Crown Princes mentor, he is not considered an official in the imperial court, but rather a man of the jianghu. Men of the jianghu value loyalty and friendship, and Mu Yis words about being friends with Lin Ming despite their age difference were not just empty talk, for he truly regarded Lin Ming as a friend.
After hearing the recording of the transmission symbol, Mu Yi roughly understood what had happened. He let out a cold snort, and his disdain for the imperial court, which was full of people like Party Yu Lin who were opportunistic and sycophantic, was evident. Today, not to mention that Lin Ming was his friend from a younger generation, but there was also a mysterious master behind him. Even if their relationship was ordinary, he would still intervene in this matter.
Muyi and the bureaucrats in the imperial court were distant from each other, he didnt know many people at all. The only person he could think of was his student - the current crown prince Yang Lin.
A message was passed to Yang Lin, and Crown Prince Yang Lin had always admired and respected his teacher. When the teachers instructions came down, he naturally did his best to carry them out, so he personally transmitted the message to the Minister of Justice of the Department of Security.
The Emperor and the Crown Prince used a special purple-gold transmission token, at this time the official was holding his concubine in laughter **, wind flowers snow moon, when he saw the purple light flashing up, the official almost fell off his chair.
From the Crown Princes transmission symbol!
When he learned the reason for the Crown Princes transmission, the head of the Minister of Justice was big, and he only felt a dizziness, that sentence "use people without investigation, supervise without power" made his heartbeat skip half a beat.
Zhao Mingshan knew exactly what kind of person he was, on one side was Wang Junzhus yin nei, and on the other side was a young man who didnt know where he came from. Even with his toes, he could think clearly how Zhao Mingshan would handle this matter. But...this young man turned out to be the princes person!
Zhao Mingshan, you son of a bitch, how could you screw me over like this?!
…………………
"How dare you! What right do you have to bind people!" Lin Xiaodong was still pretending, Zhao Mingshan waved his hand in annoyance and pointed at Lin Xiaodong: "Obstructing official business, insulting an officer, tie him up too!"
Zhao Mingshan finished speaking, and then two bailiffs came to pin Lin Xiaodong down. Most of these bailiffs were second-rank martial artists, and their second-rank martial arts werent like Wang Yigaos trash. Their foundation was much more solid.
Lin Xiaodong only had one move, naturally he didnt have any way to resist, and was pressed down firmly with just a few moves. However, this guy was the type who refused to admit defeat even when faced with certain death, and while struggling, he shouted, "Dare to tie up Young Master? You guys remember this, Ill make you pay back with interest!"
"Shut his mouth!" Zhao Mingshan was somewhat flustered, a bailiff took out a cloth strip and carelessly stuffed it into Lin Xiaodongs mouth. As a result, his original curses suddenly turned into unclear murmurs.
"Take them away!" Zhao Mingshan waved his hand, and Lin Xiaodong and Lin Ming were pressed onto the horseback. The horses trotted along, quickly running several miles away.
At this time, Wang Yigao suddenly smiled gloomily and said: "Zhao Ge, let them down and drag them away."
He wanted to use a horse to drag the two of them behind him as he ran, which would be very interesting. Zhao Ming Shan hadnt even responded yet when suddenly a red glow appeared in front of him without warning and then burst into a firework-like explosion - it was a transmission talisman.
The transmission symbol will directly transmit the sound into the mind of the person being transmitted, and others cannot hear it.
At the moment when the transmission talisman exploded, Zhao Ming-shans mind was filled with the thunderous voice of his superior, the Minister of Justice, "You damn well let him go! Do you know who is backing that little bastard? The Crown Prince! Are you trying to rebel?! You dare to arrest someone backed by the Crown Prince, dont you know how to write the word death?! If you want to die, dont drag me down with you! Zhao Ming-shan, Im telling you, whoever gives me trouble, Ill strip him of his official hat!!"
Zhao Mingshan was scolded by his superior, and he felt like his head was going to explode. He stood there stiffly, his mind a complete blank... too... too much!?!
Zhao Mingshan suddenly pulled the reins, his mouth agape as he stared at Lin Ming. Lin Ming was also looking back at him, his gaze still calm and detached, like a superior looking down on a clown.
He remembered the transmission talisman Lin Ming had handed over earlier, which was for the Crown Prince!?!
What is the concept of a crown prince? He, a small and insignificant police officer, heard this word that he would normally never come into contact with in his daily life, and the shock in his heart cannot be described in words.
He finally understood Lin Mings gaze earlier.
"I told Zhao Ge, lets drag it along, anyway no one is watching now, nothing will happen. These two kids are quite skilled, they wont die from being dragged." Wang Yi Gao chuckled and said.
Damn it! At this time, hearing Wang Yigaos nonsense, Zhao Mingshan really wanted to draw his knife and chop him up. If it werent for this idiot, how could he have fallen into such a predicament today?
"Dismount and let them go."
Zhao Mingshan suddenly waved his hand, and his subordinates were stunned. Wang Yigao was also stunned.
Let him go?
Wang Yigao wasnt a fool either, he thought of the Sound Transmission Symbol from earlier, could it be related to this?
However, Zhao Mingshan quietly released the person. Wang Yigao was still very unhappy and was about to argue a few more sentences when suddenly a burst of flames also erupted in front of him, which was another transmission talisman. As soon as he heard the voice transmitted by the talisman, Wang Yigao almost fell to the ground. It was his father who personally sent out the transmission talisman with only one sentence: "Get back here immediately!"
Wang Yigao could even feel the chill emanating from his fathers words, and he had no doubt that this time his father would flay him alive.
Since one of the parties involved in the disturbance had Prince Taizi backing him, and the other party had Wang Junmu backing him, the Minister of Justice would naturally send a message to Wang Junmu explaining the situation. Wang Junmu was angrier than he had ever been before - this King Yigao had actually provoked the current Crown Prince! Although he was just a small figure with an unknown relationship with the Crown Prince, many times it was enough for the Crown Prince to exclude him from his selection simply because of a small matter. He really wanted to kill this useless son.
Zhao Mingshan saw Wang Yigao receive the transmission token and anticipated what would happen. Seeing his stunned subordinates, Zhao Mingshan became angry, "Dont release him yet? What are you standing there for?"
Those underlings were scolded, and they hastily went to untie the ropes. However, when they went to loosen the knots, Lin Ming coldly said: "Do you want to catch or release? Ive said it before, once tied up, its not that easy to untie."
