Chapter 476: The Number One in Yin Country Cannot Be Provoked [Ask for a monthly ticket! ]

"As you know, my Liang family is full of loyal and brave people."

"I have been without a father since I was young. My mother raised the three of us alone, so I studied the books of sages and finally passed the entrance examination to Wen'an Hall. I cherish my official position very much."

"Stealing a collection of books from a library means nothing to me."

Liang Peng faced the crowd gathered in front of him and explained very calmly, looking a little aggrieved.

Song Zhicheng, the Grand Secretary of Wen'antang, had a serious look on his face. In front of him stood Xue Chi, the examiner of the treasury, and Liu Wenyang, another clerk who was called over temporarily.

The library inspector was responsible for checking the books in each library once every morning and evening to prevent the two bookkeepers from stealing together. In other words, if the missing book in the Bingzi Library could not be found, one of the three people would be responsible.

Xue Chi, the warehouse inspector, said, "When I came to check this morning, I checked with Liu Wenyang and there was no problem."

Liu Wenyang also said: "There was no problem when I handed it over to Liang Peng. He checked it all!"

"Then the problem lies with you." Song Zhicheng frowned and said, "If it was other miscellaneous books that were lost, it would be fine, but "Spiritual Examination of Mountains and Rivers" is a secret of our dynasty. If it falls into the hands of rebels or Nine Yang spies, it may be used to cause damage to the land veins of Jiuzhou. The loss of this book is of great consequence, and you must be imprisoned and investigated first."

Liang Peng looked at the three people and said, "I am innocent and I will follow your instructions."

But at this time, someone in the crowd stood up and said loudly: "Liang Peng is the new champion after all. Even if there is an investigation, it should be reported to His Majesty and the Ministry of Justice should investigate the case. Sir Song, are you going to use lynching?"

Everyone turned around and saw that the person coming was Qi Yingwu.

Although he and Liang Peng were fellow students of the Sword Academy, most of the officials in Wen'an Hall were from the Sword Academy, so it was meaningless to talk about this. At the beginning, he had helped Liang Peng several times as a senior brother, but they were not close friends.

The reason why he stood up to speak for Liang Peng was naturally out of Liang Yue's consideration.

After the last conversation, he actually realized that there seemed to be some estrangement between him and Liang Yue, and they were no longer close comrades in arms during the battle to capture the city. But when it was time to speak up for justice, he would not turn a blind eye.

"Xiao Qi, this matter has nothing to do with you." Song Zhicheng replied, "This person may be suspected of treason, and you should not come to the front. The theft of the classics is very urgent, and we should quickly find out the truth. By the time the news is sent to the Ministry of Justice, it will be transferred to who knows where by the time we check it out."

"I'll say it again, my Liang family is full of loyal heroes!" Liang Peng raised his voice slightly, "My grandfather, father, and uncle all died fighting for the country, and my eldest brother just won the battle to capture the city..."

"Even if you are not a Nine-Yarn spy, you may be colluding with the demon sect practitioners?" Xue Chi, the investigative officer, said, "If we don't investigate carefully, who can rule out your suspicion?"

Liang Peng glanced at him, and after confirming that the other party seemed to be just saying this casually and had not really discovered anything, he shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of your investigation."

The people around him looked at him with some regret, as if to say... young people are still too naive.

Song Zhicheng and his men were obviously well prepared, otherwise why would the Imperial City Guards be called so quickly?

As an old hand who has seen the ups and downs of officialdom, he could see the situation at a glance. No matter who stole the things, they would definitely deal with Liang Peng today.

When the time comes, he will be dragged away and punished by the Imperial City Guards. Wouldn't it be possible for him to get any confession he wants?
"Poor new number one scholar..." someone whispered outside the crowd.

"There's nothing to be pitiful about. Who made him have such a father and brother? How many people did Liang Fuguo kill over the years? How many people did Liang Yue kill in Nanzhou?" The person next to him also whispered.

"Whether to kill or not, these two brothers have nothing to do with Liang Fuguo." Another voice said from behind.

"Tsk." The person in front sneered, "It's something that everyone knows. Brother, who are you?"

He turned around and saw a handsome face that looked young and familiar, but he discovered that this person didn't seem to be in Wen'an Hall.

"I'm here to investigate this case." The young man pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward, saying, "I heard that important books from Wen'antang were stolen. I happened to be nearby, so I'll take over this case."

The flag officer of the Imperial City Guard who led the team came out, looked at Liang Yue, and asked unkindly: "Who are you?"

"This is Liang Peng's elder brother, the hero in the battle to seize the city!" Although Song Zhicheng didn't know how Liang Yue suddenly came here, he was not panicked. He said emphatically, "He is also a third-rank immortal official of the Evil Slaying Division and a companion to the Eastern Palace." The flag officer said, "This place is under the jurisdiction of our Imperial City Guards. It is not the turn of the Evil Slaying Division to intervene in the case."

"I am not only an immortal official of the Evil-Slaying Department, but also the head of the Secret Investigation Department of the Ministry of Justice. I handle all cases I encounter and enforce the law in plain clothes. I happened to see this case of stolen classics, and it seems that I can't ignore it." Liang Yue said confidently.

The Ministry of Justice does have a secret inspection department. The detectives there usually wear regular clothes while patrolling and handling cases. Some of them are undercover agents, so it is a relatively secretive department.

Song Zhicheng suddenly said, "But I have never heard that Liang Xianguan has this identity. Is he trying to deceive us?"

"I entered the palace today and didn't bring the Ministry of Justice token with me. You can go to the Ministry of Justice to ask." Liang Yue shrugged.

Ah.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Who doesn’t know that the Minister of Justice’s surname is Liang?

If you go there and say you are the Minister of Justice, they will have to say yes.

"Even if you are from the Ministry of Justice, you are a relative of the criminal, so you can't..." The flag officer of the Imperial City Guard still disagreed and was still arguing.

Liang Yue's gaze suddenly turned, and he kicked the flag officer in the chest.

bang——

The kick came suddenly and with great force, sending the flag officer flying dozens of feet away and crashing into the inner wall of the library. Fortunately, the wall's formation was strong, so it was not directly broken by him.

Even so, he vomited blood, collapsed to the ground, and lost consciousness.

"Liang Yue!" Song Zhicheng shouted angrily, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his formation rising, and he was about to attack, "How dare you be so presumptuous in Wen'an Hall?"

"What's wrong with me being unbridled?" Liang Yue kicked the imperial guard away, his eyes gleaming with brilliance, "You don't dare to ask the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case, are you doing something dirty?"

Following his move, a large group of imperial guards rushed in from outside Wen'antang and immediately confronted the imperial guards outside.

The Imperial Guards were the most elite of the three Longyuan guards. When they faced the Imperial City Guards, which had the most playboys among the three Longyuan guards, their momentum immediately crushed the other side.

These imperial guards were naturally brought out from the Prince's Eastern Palace. When Liang Yue received Liang Peng's words, he didn't understand what had happened, so he asked the prince to borrow this team of people to help.

After arriving at Wen'antang, he found that the situation was not that urgent, so he asked them to wait outside while he went in to listen for updates.

Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Qi Yingwu walked behind Song Zhicheng and whispered, "Sir Song, it's better not to fight him. He doesn't have much time left, and now is the time to be reckless. If he doesn't use enough force, there will be no way to hold him accountable..."

Song Zhicheng heard this and thought it made sense.

Although Liang Yue is young, I may not be his opponent. After all, he is a top genius who defeated the seventh level in the battle to capture the city.

Moreover, he fought for his country and will not live long, which is simply the ultimate halo.

A while ago, he beat the Sixth Prince in public and nothing happened. What can they do to him if he beats a flag officer of the Imperial Guard?
After all, he will die for his country in more than a month. At this moment, as long as he does not rebel, even if he kills people or burns things, the court will probably let him die.

He killed people in Yunlu City so much that the blood flowed like a river and wiped out all the noble families. Who would dare to seek revenge on him openly?

The soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the tough, the tough are afraid of the desperate, and the desperate are also afraid of the one who is about to die.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liang Yue is the number one person in Yin Kingdom and he should not be messed with!
Thinking of this, Song Zhicheng had no choice but to calm down and said through gritted teeth: "Since Liang Xianguan is so insistent, why not let you try? If you can find the lost book, then everything will be fine. If you can't find it, with so many eyes watching, you can't be asked to cover up for someone!"
