Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 323 My Rules Are Rules
The list provided by Mrs. Han is very detailed, not only Bingzhou, but also the entire list of officials and aristocratic families involved in Hedong Road.

Now that the net has been torn apart, Li Qinzai doesn't need to worry about it. The officials of the Chang'an court let Li Zhi decide, but the officials involved in the case of Hedong Road must be taken down.

Of the 1 soldiers in the Ningshuo Dudu's Mansion, Li Qinzai temporarily recruited [-] people, divided them into more than [-] small teams, and sent them to various cities on Hedong Road.

Their task is to capture people, no matter criminal officials or family members, all those involved in the case will be captured and escorted to Chang'an.

Li Qinzai was only the governor, and he had no right to question officials of other prefectures and counties.

But he also has another identity, which is to investigate the case by order. The reason why Li Zhi appointed him as governor of the state was to investigate the case of raising food prices.

The soldiers went to various cities on Hedong Road, and when they asked the criminals what kind of chaos they were in, Li Qinzai didn't know, he only knew that the city of Bingzhou was already in chaos.

Without warning, the governor's office suddenly took people, and all the people they took were officials and family members. The Wang family in Taiyuan was even more unlucky, and the family members who were taken away were basically Wang's children.

Two hours later, Bingzhou City became more and more chaotic, and there were hundreds of officials and family members who were taken down.

The officials were all under the rule of Li Qinzai. After being taken to prison, they felt guilty and had nothing to say.

But the aristocratic family members don't do it. Bingzhou is the Bingzhou of the imperial court, but it is also the place of origin of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Li Qinzai is asking their clansmen on their territory, how can he teach him what he wants?
Hundreds of criminals had just been imprisoned, and when the common people gathered around the governor's mansion in shock and discussion, the Wang family of Taiyuan came to ask for someone.

The head of the family, Wang Xingchen, is the leader, and there are hundreds of disciples and Confucian scholars behind him.

The guards on duty in front of the Governor's Mansion nervously stopped them, but they didn't dare to hit hard.

These hundreds of people were all of noble status, and any one of them held an official position. The guards only dared to stop them, but did not dare to drive them away. Instead, they turned around and ran into the mansion to report to Li Qinzai.

Not long after, the gate of the Governor's Mansion opened, and Li Qinzai came out surrounded by his followers. The moment he stepped over the threshold, Li Qinzai's eyes collided with Wang Xingchen's in mid-air.

Wang Xingchen, whose face was ashen, still did not forget the etiquette and bearing of the family at this time, he cupped his hands at Li Qinzai, and said: "Inspector Li, I have admired you for a long time."

Li Qinzai also replied with a smile: "Patriarch Wang has admired you for a long time, why did you gather in front of the governor's mansion today? Is there any dissatisfaction with this official?"

Wang Xingchen's face became more and more livid: "Why did Inspector Li know what he was asking? His lord questioned dozens of members of the Taiyuan Wang family for no reason. Does the governor want to give the Taiyuan Wang family a blow?"

Li Qinzai blinked: "What did Patriarch Wang do, why do you have to ask why you know it? Why do you ask the members of the Wang clan? Do you need me to say it clearly?"

Wang Xingchen couldn't help but said angrily: "Without evidence, how can you slander my Wang clan!"

"Certificate? Yes." Li Qinzai said indifferently.

Wang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then took a step forward and said coldly: "If Inspector Li has evidence, you might as well show it. If the evidence is solid, the old man will accept the guilt."

"Don't worry, I just took the person. The Patriarch will wait for two days, and when I get the criminal confession, there will be evidence."

Wang Xingchen laughed angrily: "Take the people first, and then get the evidence? What's the reason for this! Inspector Li is so perverted, does it mean that he thinks that he is covering the sky in Bingzhou?"

Li Qinzai stretched out his little finger to dig his ear, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, this is my first time as an assassin, and I don't have much experience in handling cases. Let's get familiar with it. Anyway, the criminal has already been captured. After asking for a confession, I will send it to the Criminal Department of Chang'an. The rest is up to the Ministry of Justice."

"If Patriarch Wang feels that he has been wronged, he might as well leave for Chang'an, find someone from the Ministry of Punishment, and then go to His Majesty to intervene against my lawlessness, how about that?"

Wang Xingchen was furious: "Inspector Li, don't rely on His Majesty's favor to be unreasonable!"

Li Qinzai suddenly said: "You brought so many people around my governor's mansion, so you planned to reason with me... I thought you were attacking the government, and your intentions were wrong."

These words were a bit serious, Wang Xingchen's complexion suddenly changed, and he took a step back unconsciously.

Li Qinzai's eyes gradually became sharper, he stared at Wang Xingchen and said, "I am the governor of Bingzhou, and I am the one who decides the rules of Bingzhou. The Taiyuan Wang family had better do their duty, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Reaching out to take the horizontal knife from Liu Asi's hand, Li Qinzai slowly drew a line on the open space in front of him, and the piercing sound echoed in the air accompanied by the sudden murderous aura.

Pointing to the line drawn under his feet, Li Qinzai said coldly: "If you want to make trouble, you can make trouble, but don't cross this line. Anyone who dares to cross the line will be regarded as an assassin and will be killed on the spot!"

Throwing the horizontal knife to Liu Ah Si, Li Qinzai raised his voice and said: "Si, you all stand guard at the door, remember what I just said, just crossed this line, no matter who it is, shoot to kill!"

As soon as the words were finished, a young member of the Taiyuan Wang family stepped forward. Wang Xingchen was shocked, and before he could stop him, the young member had already stepped out and crossed the line.

"Li Qinzai, don't go too far! If you don't hand over my Wang clan members today, I'll wait..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Asi's eyes flashed coldly, and then he raised the knife in his hand, and the snow-white light of the knife swept across the neck of the young clansman.

The young man's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened and he stood there in a daze, a red line appeared on his neck in an instant, and then blood gushed out, the young man fell limply to the ground without a sound.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked at Li Qinzai in shock.

I didn't expect him to dare to kill someone!Those who killed were still members of the Taiyuan Wang family!

The sky is about to be pierced!

The members of the Taiyuan Wang family backed away in fright, and there were a few mournful cries from the crowd, but their mouths were quickly covered.

A suppressed and suffocating killing intent accompanied by a thick smell of blood became more and more intense in the air.

Li Qinzai stared at Wang Xingchen expressionlessly. At this moment, Wang Xingchen's face was pale, and he stared blankly at the dead clansmen on the ground. The bloody scene made him forget to speak for a moment.

After a long silence, Li Qinzai said slowly: "Patriarch Wang, in the case of raising grain prices in Bingzhou, whether the Wang family in Taiyuan was involved in the case, and whether the clansmen I asked were wronged, you know better than me..."

"Also, Patriarch, you are not so innocent. I didn't order you to be imprisoned today because I took into account the face of the Wang family in Taiyuan. I also hope that Patriarch Wang will not make mistakes again and again and force me to take action."

"If I were you, I would go back to arrange the aftermath without saying a word, and then think about how to defend myself in front of the emperor. You are already in danger. Who gave you the courage to come to my governor's mansion to make trouble?"

Li Qinzai smiled at him: "That's all for now, the Patriarch can do it for himself."

Looking up and looking around, Li Qinzai's tone became colder: "I still say the same thing, anyone who dares to cross this line will be killed! This is the rule I set in Bingzhou City."
