Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Zhang Jingwei felt secretly happy when he saw Han Ye standing in a daze in the prison van.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Gao!"

Gao Fei was horrified to see Zhang Jingwei covered in blood.

The blood was from wood, and the military doctor's method of stopping the bleeding was too rough. He originally wanted to apply two lumps of mud, but was stopped by Zhang Jingwei.

I boiled water and changed bandages, just like delivering a baby, and it took the whole night.

After hearing this, Gao Fei subconsciously retracted his injured calf.

When I was in the city, I heard that Young Master Zhang saved a man by mouth-to-mouth sex. In that era, this was too immoral.

However, Gao Fei was just curious about why Young Master Zhang, who had always been a playboy, had such a sense of righteousness in his heart. Based on Jia Cun's various behaviors, he dared to conclude that Young Master Zhang was definitely a person worthy of loyalty.

Everyone in the water defense camp was very busy. Liu Yanzhi was counting the number of corvée laborers and arranging to send them home one by one.

Wang Zhen is still remembering those two bad accounts.

Several detectives were questioning the officers of the water defense camp about everything about Han Ye, including the female victims.

They won the battle.

But the bad news kept coming. Wang Huang seemed to have completely escaped. There was no news. Wang Heng had confessed and was imprisoned, but it seemed someone had helped him clear the smuggling charges. Han Ye also had someone to help him, a lieutenant general from the Prince of Jin's palace, one level higher in rank than Huangfu Changshui.

Zhang Jingwei was speechless after hearing this, and directly ordered the messenger to tell the lieutenant general to go back to where he came from.

"Huh? Go tell him he's dreaming!"

He had originally decided to return to Yunzhou today, so all the evidence must be collected today. It was simply wishful thinking to come and ask for people at this time.

The messenger returned a moment later with a lash on the face.

"Sir, that lieutenant general insisted on taking his men away. I just went to reply and was whipped."

Liu Yanzhi was furious. "This is outrageous! How dare the lieutenant general of Jinzhou come to my Yunzhou and cause trouble!"

Then he took the messenger soldier out of the camp. Zhang Jingwei was afraid that Liu Yanzhi, a scholar, would suffer a loss in front of a group of burly warriors, so he took a few officers out of the camp with Liu Yanzhi.

In front of the water bridge, there was an officer in iron armor and a red cloak, cursing at Captain Lai. The team behind him was even more powerful, and it was obvious that they were here with ill intentions.

The officer was furious and grabbed Captain Lai and refused to let go. "I want to see him alive or dead. What do you mean by inconvenient today?"

"Hey, General over there, if you have anything to say, please say it nicely. Don't make things difficult for your subordinates." Zhang Jingwei shouted directly to the lieutenant general without waiting for Liu Yanzhi to speak.

"Where did you come from, you little brat? Do you have the right to speak?" The lieutenant general looked at Zhang Jingwei with a strange expression and cursed directly. "I am the lieutenant general of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, Bao Jing. Do you dare to tell me your name?"

Liu Yanzhi bowed and said, "I am Liu Yanzhi, the Deputy Magistrate of Yunzhou. I am honored to meet Lieutenant General Bao. I and others are here to investigate a case. I wonder what has troubled Lieutenant General Bao."

Bao Jing said, "I am following the king's orders to take Han Ye back to the palace. If you try to stop me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhang Jingwei feigned composure, but inside he was rolling around in laughter: Phimosis?! You're a fucking genius, I gave you that name.

Liu Yanzhi retorted, "Your Majesty's orders cannot govern the officials of the imperial court. General, please go back and tell Your Majesty to stop acting on his own and put the people first."

"A mere fifth-rank Tongzhi dares to speak to this general like that. I think you are asking for a beating!" Bao Jing said as he raised the whip to hit Liu Yanzhi.

Gao Fei rode his horse forward and grabbed Bao Jing's hand holding the whip, instantly releasing his strength and saving Liu Yanzhi.

Seeing Gao Fei in his military uniform, Bao Jing took a deep breath. He pointed at Gao Fei and said, "You, you are so bold! How dare you attack this general? Whose subordinate are you?"

Gao Fei's eyes were fierce and he kept silent. Bao Jing was so angry that he bared his teeth and drew his sword to compete with Gao Fei.

At this time, an officer beside him ran over and whispered, "General, this man looks like Gao Fu!"

Bao Jing was surprised: "Are you sure it's high? Is that martial god high?"

"That's right, it's Gao Fei. We've dealt with each other several times before. I'm lucky enough to have met him twice, so there's no mistake." The officer looked at Gao Fei and confirmed twice before saying affirmatively.

"What should I do now? I can't kowtow to him and admit my mistake now."

"Anyway, they have a case to investigate. Tell His Majesty the truth. At worst, he can ask the commander-in-chief to come and arrest the man himself. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him, General."

……

Gao Fei heard the conversation between the two. He had many nicknames, such as Gao Jieba, Gao Chefu, Gao Bianyi, etc. This was the first time someone called him the God of War. It might be because he always took first place in the military officer assessment.

The officers of the Celestial Empire were assessed annually, which consisted of tests of physical fitness, martial arts, and drill. Even with these annual assessments, some unscrupulous individuals still managed to pass, which revealed some of the tricks involved.

Bao Jing's eyes rolled, and he laughed loudly as he took Gao Fei's hand and exchanged pleasantries: "Hahaha, who was it? It turns out to be Brother Gao. I've heard a lot about you. Since Brother Gao is investigating a case with Lord Liu, I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

Yes, they left. It was really because of Gao Fei's appearance that they left.

Zhang Jingwei thought he would have to deliver another wave of verbal attacks, but unexpectedly this wave was so easy to push.

Zhang Jingwei stepped forward and teased, "I can't believe, Brother Gao, you actually know someone from Jinzhou."

"I...I...don't know him!" Gao Fei hurriedly explained.

Zhang Jingwei was also amused by his naivety.

"Alright, alright. How would I know you're called the God of War if I didn't know you?" Zhang Jingwei patted Gao Fei's shoulder. "But it's all thanks to you just now, otherwise Lord Liu would be in trouble."

Gao Fei scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Hehe... Hehe."

Zhang Jingwei smiled and said, "It seems that Bao Jing is just like that. When he meets a truly powerful person, he immediately gives in."

Liu Yanzhi sighed, "Alas, although a conflict was avoided this time, the Prince of Jin has already intervened. I'm afraid things will become even more complicated... We need to quickly gather evidence. This time, I must consult the Prime Minister."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They decided to speed up and try to find enough evidence before King Jin took action.

……

Xiao Cui did not find her husband on the list of survivors, but he still appeared very strong and tried his best to help other women in the military camp.

Zhang Jingwei came to find Xiao Cui at this time. When some military wives of the Water Defense Battalion saw Zhang Jingwei's expression, they covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

Zhang Jingwei was extremely anxious: "Miss Xiao Cui, can you please excuse me and talk to me?"

Xiao Cui said shyly, "Young Master, if you have anything to say, just say it!" The play was over. He didn't want to have anything to do with these young masters.

Zhang Jingwei said in a serious tone: "This concerns the third brother of the Jia family!"

Hearing that it was related to her husband, Xiao Cui obediently followed Zhang Jingwei.
