"Did sothing happen with Lin Yu?"
Seeing Lin Yu's personal soldier enter, sweating profusely, everyone was stunned.
The personal soldier said, "Governor, Governor He is currently at the prison gate, trying to break in with his n. He's been stopped by Commander Lin, and now both sides are in a standoff at the gate—it looks like a fight might break out. Commander Lin has asked to request your imdiate presence!"
"Damn, He Mingdong actually dares to cause trouble at the prison? Impressive!"
Qin Tian's expression froze for a mont before instantly getting up and saying, "Let's go, to the prison!"
With dozens of his personal soldiers, Qin Tian headed straight for the East Gate prison.
When they arrived, the situation at the gate had already erupted into an argunt. People on both sides had divided into factions, tensions running high.
"Lin Yu, you damned lowly commander, you dare stop ? Do you have a death wish!"
He Mingdong's anger was blatantly visible on his face; clearly, his underhanded activities had been exposed, and his subordinates captured, making him furious.
But Lin Yu and his n blocked the entrance, standing firm: "Governor He, I have been ordered to temporarily guard the East Gate prison. Without Governor Qin Tian's command, no one is allowed to enter. Please leave..."
"Don't use Qin Tian to pressure !"
Before Lin Yu could finish, He Mingdong shouted forcefully: "Do you think bringing up Qin Tian would scare ? Have you not figured out the situation, country bumpkin, daring to put on airs before ? Do you not know who I am? Get out of the way!"
Lin Yu remained unmoved: "Without Governor Qin Tian's orders, I will not step aside!"
"To hell with you!"
He Mingdong gestured, and his n imdiately drew their weapons!
He shouted madly: "If you don't move, I'll kill you today! Damn it, I'm going in, even if Qin Tian himself cos, he wouldn't dare to stop , would you?"
Seeing Lin Yu's determined stance, He Mingdong stopped wasting words: "Brothers, charge in, kill anyone who dares to stop us!"
Boom!
Just as the two sides' True Qi clashed, a powerful True Qi ca whistling from afar, stunning everyone!
"Who dares to move!"
Qin Tian's voice rang out from the distance, as he suddenly appeared like lightning between the two factions!
"Drawing weapons in front of the prison, do you think my orders don't exist?"
Qin Tian stood in the middle, roaring in anger.
Zhou Yang and others also rushed over swiftly.
Seeing Qin Tian appear, He Mingdong's expression twitched, but then quickly morphed into a smile as he said to Qin Tian: "Governor Qin, calm down, calm down... this is just a misunderstanding... haha, my n were caught and detained here; I'm just here to get them out. Look at Commander Lin, derelict in his duties, coming here to prevent my entry..."
"You just said, that even if I ca, you wouldn't be afraid?!"
Qin Tian had no interest in this hypocrite's words, directly piercing through the façade, coldly staring at He Mingdong.
He Mingdong's face stiffened, seeing Qin Tian take things to this level, his smile vanished, and he puffed out his chest, defiantly staring at Qin Tian: "Qin Tian, don't think just because your rank is higher than mine, you can be arrogant toward . Hahaha, you're from East Capital, do you know how deep the waters are in Imperial City? Do you know who's backing ?"
"I don't know, and I don't need to know. All I know is that we've captured two Demon Clan mbers and two of your subordinates, and we've extracted evidence that could ruin you, He Mingdong!"
Qin Tian's words imdiately made He Mingdong's eyebrows furrow.
After a mont, He Mingdong chuckled lightly: "Do you think this evidence is worth anything? Do you think if you hand it over to the Ministry of War, they'd believe you? Do you think they'd trust you or... the Ninth Prince?"
ntioning the Ninth Prince, He Mingdong lowered his voice, then laughed: "Qin Tian, perhaps you don't know how the previous Great Governor of East Gate in Imperial City died?"
At these words, Qin Tian and Zhou Yang exchanged a glance; they hadn't looked into this matter, only knowing that the position of East Gate's Great Governor had been vacant for about two years.
He Mingdong continued: "The previous Great Governor of East Gate accused the Ninth Prince of colluding with Demons and even submitted so-called evidence before the Ice Emperor!"
"Hahaha, the Ice Emperor, wise and discerning, naturally believed in his son's innocence. That old codger Hu Yunzhao foolishly tried to sar the Ninth Prince, and as a result, the Ice Emperor ordered his execution, severing his head. Hmph, Qin Tian, are you still thinking of handing this over to the Ministry of War?"
These words struck a chord in Qin Tian's heart.
It's clear He Mingdong wouldn't lie about sothing everyone knows.
Could it be the previous East Gate Great Governor died because of this sort of thing!
Now, am I to tread his dood path?
Undeniably, He Mingdong's words significantly impacted Qin Tian, changing even Zhou Yang and the others' expressions.
This was their concern; they never expected the Ice Emperor would shield the Ninth Prince so blatantly!
"Well? Have you realized whose domain Imperial City is? The Royal Family's prince—is he soone a minor character like you dares to slander and provoke?"
Seeing Qin Tian astounded, He Mingdong sneered, "Today I'm kindly advising you. Next ti, if you're ungrateful, you'll learn your lesson the hard way!"
As He Mingdong bragged with an arrogant tilt of his head, he instructed, "n, bring out Li Hua and the others. Oh, and I heard two Demons are imprisoned here—Demons are the sworn enemies of our Tianyuan Dynasty. What's the point of keeping them locked up—go and kill them!"
"As you command!"
A squad responded, ready to enter the prison.
At this mont, Lin Yu no longer held his previous stance, understanding Qin Tian's concerns, nodded and signaled his n to clear a path and let He Mingdong's n into the prison.
However, just as the squad entered the prison, Qin Tian's cold voice echoed: "Without my orders, anyone who opens the prison is equivalent to prison-breaking and treason! Death with no pardon!"
Swoosh!
These words resonated within the prison, causing every warden to freeze.
Even He Mingdong's n, hearing Qin Tian's warning, stopped, unsure of what to do.
After all, Qin Tian is the Great Governor of the East Gate, which placed psychological pressure on He Mingdong's n.
The team leader turned back and looked at He Mingdong.
He Mingdong was montarily stunned, touching his chin, then sneered: "Qin Tian, are you planning on going against the Ninth Prince? Are you sure you've thought this through?"
"Guards!"
Qin Tian's voice rang out sternly!
"Present!"
"Vice-Governor He Mingdong is suspected of colluding with Demons, a cri of great evil. Arrest him!"
