A rare opportunity

Chapter 309 Robbery on the Road

"Oh? I was so confused, I didn't know the general was coming..."

Huashan was somewhat puzzled. He did not know whose order he was following, and he did not know the purpose. Although the two were both royal guards, they were different princes after all. Although they knew each other, they did not have much interaction, let alone any friendship.

"Oh! General Hua, you don't know! The eldest prince was furious when he heard that someone dared to poison the future princess! He immediately reported it to the emperor. The emperor was also shocked and ordered the eldest prince to investigate the matter! The eldest prince handed the matter over to me. Just as I was about to leave, I learned that General Hua had escorted the human traffickers back. So I came to greet him, hoping that General Hua could hand over the prisoners to me for interrogation! First of all, I want to make it clear that I am not trying to steal your credit. The emperor's order cannot be violated! This is the imperial edict! General Hua, do you want to take a look?"

Ma Lin took out an imperial edict and said to Huashan with a smile, "It's a matter of course!"

Huashan was shocked after hearing this! Li Yu and the others were even more angry! If this wasn't picking peaches, what else could this be? They had gone through life and death to catch these people, but they wanted them to hand them over just based on their words?

"General Ma, this may not be appropriate! After all, we are following the orders of the Second Prince. If we want to hand over the person, we must report to the Second Prince and let him make the decision!"

Huashan said coldly. How could he give up the credit he had obtained? Besides, he couldn't explain to the Second Prince if he handed him over without his approval. As far as he knew, although these princes seemed to be harmonious on the surface, they were actually fighting overtly and covertly! This eldest prince had already regarded himself as the crown prince, and he suppressed the other princes everywhere, especially the Second Prince who was more outstanding than him.

"Oh! General Hua, don't worry! I came here with the consent of the Second Prince! Besides, even the Second Prince has to obey the order, right?"

Marin still smiled.

"This……"

You know, in public, Marin would never dare to speak nonsense. Since he said that he had obtained the consent of the second prince, it should be true. However, he was unwilling to give up such a great achievement. While hesitating, he caught a glimpse of Li Yu on the side, and his heart was moved! He immediately said to Marin:

"General Ma, you don't know. I have no say in this matter. I am only assisting in the investigation. The real person in charge is someone else! Whether to hand over the person or not needs his consent!"

"Oh? I wonder if it's that master?"

Marin glanced at Li Yu with a look of disdain on his face, but with a hint of ridicule. He naturally knew that this person was the one who led the investigation, but he also knew that this person was just a doctor before!

"It's Captain Li Yuli!"

Huashan stepped aside.

When Hua Shan brought Li Yu out, it was obvious that he was looking for someone to take the blame! At this point, whether or not to hand over the person was up to Li Yu! As for whether the Second Prince would blame him in the future, that would all be borne by Li Yu!

How could Huashan's thoughts be hidden from Li Yu and others? The Plum Blossom Fairy couldn't help but frown! Wu Linger glared at Huashan! You know, Huashan's move is not just to let Li Yu take the blame, but to put Li Yu on the fire!

Hand over the person? With Li Yu's temper, he definitely won't! After all, this matter was entrusted by the Second Prince. Even if he handed over the person, he would hand it over to the Second Prince! Not handing it over? That would be disobeying the order! That would be punishable by death!

"Oh! I have heard of the great name of Doctor Li for a long time. It is a great honor to meet him today! I hope that Doctor Li can follow your orders and avoid making things difficult for me!"

Marin casually cupped his hands and said with a fake smile. No matter from his tone or actions, he didn't mean to be lucky. There was only contempt! He had already made up his mind that a small doctor would never dare to disobey the order and would definitely hand over the prisoner obediently!

Li Yu was already used to his attitude and didn't care! Normally, what he wanted at this moment was to hand over the task as soon as possible and leave! However, if the person who came was the Second Prince's man, he would hand him over without hesitation. But these people were not! He was a person who had to finish everything he did! Since it was the Second Prince's order, he had to hand the person over to the Second Prince.

As for the imperial edict, it was not issued to me! Besides, the imperial edict should be for Marin to investigate the matter, not for them to call someone!

He immediately bowed and said:

"I, Li Yu, greet General Ma! General Ma, does the emperor's decree ask Li Yu to hand over the prisoner to you? If so, I have nothing to say! If not, I'm sorry I can't obey your order!"

"What? What did you say?"

Marin opened his eyes wide, in disbelief! How could a little doctor be so bold? Not to mention the imperial edict, even if he was the commander of the royal guards standing in front of him, shouldn't he be scared to death? How dare he refuse his request and even question the content of the imperial edict? However, what he said made him unable to refute! Indeed, the imperial edict only asked him to investigate the matter, but did not directly ask them to hand over the person! From this point of view, they did not disobey the imperial edict, but they did seem to be falsely conveying the imperial edict!

Li Yu's words also made Huashan look at him with new eyes! He thought to himself, why didn't he think of this? Originally, he pushed Li Yu out just to let him take the blame for himself in front of the second prince, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing!

Fairy Plum Blossom, Wu Ling'er and others couldn't help but applaud! Ma Lin had been talking about the imperial edict all along, and Li Yu was using his own method to fight him! The imperial edict only asked you to investigate, and did not ask Li Yu to hand over the person! If you really care about it, is this Ma Lin suspected of falsely conveying the imperial edict?

Mo Qiang and Cha Kang nodded secretly! They didn't expect that this unremarkable guy would have such courage!

Hua Zirong and others, who had been feeling anxious and unwilling, were even more shocked!

"Although the imperial edict did not explicitly ask you to hand over the person, it has already given you full responsibility for this matter. The relevant prisoner should be handed over to us for interrogation! Are you going to hand him over now or not?"

Marin said sternly. Although his tone was still tough, it always gave people a sense of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside!

"General Ma was ordered to investigate the case, and so were we. Since we have been ordered, we should go back and report! I hope General Ma will understand!"

Li Yu still said calmly.

"Don't be so shameless! I'm trying to negotiate with you in a nice way, but you're just being so shameless! I'm asking you now, are you going to hand it over or not?"

Marin couldn't help but get angry!
