Chapter 2764 Xu Zisheng takes action to coerce the watchman

Yin Luo raised his gaze slightly and looked at the boss cautiously. Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and continued.

"Xu Qi'an is already on his way back, and he will probably arrive at the Yamen soon."

After confirming that Si Tianjian's white-robed warlock had enough time to arrive, Zhu Yang took a deep look at his unconscious young son and disappeared into the hall into a strong wind.

Jin Luo Zhu Yang just rushed out of the yamen, looked towards the long street, and saw six riders approaching slowly. One of them was sitting on Xu Qian, his hands tied with ropes. Five cavalrymen surrounded him and escorted him back to the Yamen. The other watchmen were still searching the house and counting the assets.

Golden Gong Zhu Yang stared at the small gong on the horse. There was no anger or murderous intention. His fingers were pulled by the Qi machine, and his saber was automatically drawn out, and under the control of the Qi machine, he slashed at Xu Qian.

Everyone was caught off guard, including Xu Qian, whose hands were tied. No one expected that Jin Luo would actually kill someone on the street.

"Ding!"

A Tongluo's saber was then unsheathed, blocking the blade that killed Xu Qian. The two standard sabers fell to the ground together, making two clanging sounds.

Xu Qi'an had long since realized it, but cold sweat still broke out on his back, and his heart was beating violently in his chest.

As if he was about to crush an ant, Zhu Yang, who showed no emotion, his face finally darkened, he turned to stare at the paralyzed man who suddenly appeared behind him, suppressing his anger.

"If you fail to kill your boss, you should be executed according to the law. You can't save him."

"I will be the one to kill you,"

Yang Yan, whose face was paralyzed, faced the other party's angry eyes and said calmly.

"When will it be your turn to touch my people?"

Yang Yan is a serious man, with features as stiff as sculptures and no emotion at all. His cultivation has reached the level of a fourth-grade martial artist. He is also the son of Wei Yuan's Bodhisattva, and his status is no lower than Zhu Yang, so he can keep Xu Qi'an.

"Okay, Duke Wei will decide this matter."

The two immediately went to Haoqi Tower to seek justice from Wei Yuan. After receiving the notice, Yang Yan, who was expressionless, and Zhu Yang, who was furious, climbed up the building and met Wei Yuan on the seventh floor.

Wei Yuan stood in the observation hall with his back to the tea room. Nangong Qianrou stood at the connection between the observation hall and the tea room, leaning against the wall, with a sneer mixed with amusement on her face.

"Wei Gong!"

Zhu Yang clasped his fists, his face full of grief, and said in a deep voice.

"My son Zhu Chengzhu was severely injured by Xu Qian's beheading with a bronze gong. He is on the line between life and death. He is still not out of danger.

"I hope Duke Wei will take the decision for his humble position and severely punish Tongluo Xu Qian."

Zhu Yang quietly raised his head and glanced at Wei Yuan's back. Seeing that he didn't turn around, he continued.

"Wei Gong, this is what happened!"

Zhu Yang explained everything exactly, and then Wei Yuan turned around, walked back to the tea room, and sat down at the table.

Yang Yan bowed and quickly explained a few words. He told the truth of what he knew. It was basically the same as what Zhu Yang said, but there were some differences in some places, and there was a big gap in people's senses.

"Father, I have a different story here. Zhu Chengzhu took advantage of the house raid and wanted to humiliate the female family members of the prison officials, but was stopped by Tongluo Xu Qian. Instead of reining in the situation, Zhu Chengzhu dragged the female family members of the prison officials into the courtyard and wanted to humiliate them in public. Xu Qian's efforts to dissuade him failed. Attack in anger."

It's hard for Yang Yan. He is a person who doesn't like to talk. In order to keep Xu Qi'an, he talked all day long in one breath.

"fart!"

"It's clearly Tongluo Xu Qian's revenge."

Zhu Yang was furious when he heard this, his face turned livid, he turned his head suddenly and glared at Yang Yan, his anger almost unbearable and bursting out.

Wei Yuan placed the tea cup and made tea as if no one was around. When the two Jin Luo finished arguing, Zhu Yang was mainly yelling and cursing, and Yang Yan was too lazy to respond.

"Since there are differences, let's confront them."

Wei Yuan did not rush to a conclusion, his face was very calm, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.

Soon, Song Tingfeng, Zhu Guangxiao and several other Tongluo who were the first to return were called up, including Xu Qian, who was guarded by everyone in the center with ropes tied in his hands.

"Tell me clearly what happened!"

Wei Yuan glanced at everyone, his voice was gentle but dignified. All the gongs lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him, even though this great eunuch always presented himself as a gentle, courteous and thrifty person.

Zhu Yang glanced sharply at Yin Luo, who was reporting the news to him, and the meaning was self-evident, and he said in a deep voice.

"You will report everything to Duke Wei in detail."

The Yin Luo reported again, and the content was exactly the same as what he had told Zhu Yang. Several Tong Luo frowned upon hearing this, with disapproval on their faces.

Zhu Guangxiao gave Song Tingfeng a push. He was taciturn and not good at words, so he had to let his extrovert colleagues come forward.

Song Tingfeng took a deep breath to relieve the pressure in his heart, then bowed and reported.

"Wei Gong, I have something to report to you due to my humble position."

After Song Tingfeng received Wei Yuan's nod, he dared to speak and told everything about today's events.

"We were not late during the assembly, but Zhu Yinluo deliberately made things difficult and beat me and Xu Qian.

"When he ransacked the house, he forcibly kept the three of us in the front hall and refused to enter the inner courtyard. He crushed us to death at the official level, so we had no choice but to do it. Until the cries of the female relatives came from the backyard, Xu Qian couldn't bear it anymore. , rushed over. He drank away the other gongs, but was helpless against Zhu Yinluo."

"Zhu Yinluo knew that he was violating the law. Instead of restraining himself, he dragged the female family members into the courtyard and planned to humiliate them in public to force Xu Qian to take action."

Zhu Yang squinted his eyes, his face turned pale, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and he threatened Song Tingfeng.

"Framing your boss is also a capital crime."

Song Tingfeng gritted his teeth. Since he had offended Zhu Yang, he did not need to hesitate and said loudly.

"Wei Gong has a clear lesson. This matter is obvious to everyone present."

Same thing, similar terms, but actually two concepts. That Yinluo's report highlighted Xu Qian's mistake in seizing Zhu Yinluo and killing him to avenge himself.

The core of Song Tingfeng is that Yinluo provoked maliciously and made things difficult for him at every turn. Xu Qi'an tolerated it for a long time, and finally couldn't stand Yinluo's crimes, so he took action in anger to seek justice.

Wei Yuan looked at the other Tongluo. Several Tongluo lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Neither of them could afford to offend the gods in their fight.

Wei Yuan looked gentle and did not express his position. He seemed to have no bias and said in a soft voice.

"Tell the truth, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you."

With a reassurance, the gongs looked at each other and finally dared to tell the truth and report in a low voice.

"Xu Qian and the other three are indeed not late."

"What Song Tingfeng said is true. Zhu Yinluo did drag the female family members into the courtyard and wanted to humiliate her in front of us. His words were very provocative to Xu Qian."

This is the advantage of the multi-team structure. If the Tongluo people are all under Jinluo Zhu Yang, the rhetoric will become the same, pointing the finger at Xu Qian.

Zhu Yang snorted coldly. In front of Wei Yuan, he did not dare to be presumptuous, but he persisted to the end and demanded that Xu Qi'an be severely punished.

"Even so, it should be handled by the Yamen, not by him with a small gong."

Zhu Yang cleverly deflected the conflict. No matter what the real reason was, it was a definite fact that Xu Qi'an almost killed his superior.

"It is true that my son has made a mistake, but when will it be the little gong's turn to punish him? Moreover, the mistake of insulting the female family members of the offender is not serious. It can range from a fine to a confinement and demotion, and the most serious one is just dismissal. "

This matter was such a big deal that everyone in the watchman's office was watching. Zhu Yang did not believe that Wei Yuan would favor a single Tongluo, even though Xu Qian was valued by the two Jinluos.

At this moment, a Yinluo walked in, bowed and said to Wei Yuan with a solemn expression.

"Mr. Wei, someone from the Criminal Department is here, saying they want to arrest the suspect!"

Wei Yuan was stunned when he heard this. The official's office and the criminal department each performed their duties. There had never been a situation where the criminal department came to the official's office to arrest someone.

"Who are they taking?"

Yinluo raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yang, and said under the surprised gaze of the other party.

"They said they wanted to capture Zhu Cheng for making a silver gong!"

Zhu Yang was furious when he heard this. He stood on his head with his beard and hair, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily.

"Fart, my son is seriously injured now and his life hangs by a thread. How could he become a prisoner of the Criminal Department?"

Wei Yuan's face also showed a bit of strangeness and weirdness, his eyes were deep and somewhat puzzled, and he said to him.

"Let the people from the Criminal Department come in first. I want to hear what's going on?"

Not only Wei Yuan, but everyone present was puzzled. Zhu Chengzhu was clearly ransacking his home, was seriously injured by Xu Qian, and his life was hanging by a thread. Why did he suddenly become a prisoner of the Ministry of Punishment again.

Xu Zisheng led two officials from the Ministry of Justice and walked forward with their hands behind their backs. They walked to the front of Haoqi Building, crossed the high threshold, and entered the hall on the first floor. Two poems were hung on the load-bearing pillars: I wish to serve the world with my heart, not for myself. Seek benefits.

Xu Zisheng stopped, looked at these two sentences carefully, nodded slightly, and then headed towards the seventh floor under the guidance of the watchman.

"Xu Zisheng, the lower official, has met Duke Wei!"

Xu Zisheng has now been promoted to the fourth rank of the Ministry of Punishment, and can be regarded as a famous person in the Ministry of Punishment.

This is the first time that Xu Zisheng has dealt with Wei Yuan. The other party is far superior to Xu Zisheng in terms of official position, qualifications and achievements. After all, twenty years ago, this eunuch was already the commander-in-chief of the three armies in the Battle of Shanhai, and was the Marquis of Wu'an Xu Shijun. His old boss, Xu Zisheng, can also be regarded as Wei Yuan's descendant.

"Master Xu, you're welcome!"

"I wonder why the Criminal Department came here this time?"

Wei Yuan's attitude towards Xu Zisheng was quite friendly, and he even showed some appreciation. After all, Wei Yuan and Xu Shijun were old friends, and Xu Zisheng was his descendant.

"The official is here this time to arrest the prisoner Zhu Chengzhu. Someone accused him of using his official position to insult civilian women, knowing the law and breaking the law. The impact is extremely bad, and he should be punished for his crime!"

"Fart, how could my son insult a common woman? This is a false accusation!"

Zhu Yang was furious without waiting for Wei Yuan and shouted loudly at Xu Zisheng.

"Oh, who are you? You actually dare to yell in front of me. Do you want to disobey the law and despise the Ministry of Punishment?"

Xu Zisheng was always looking for trouble, and naturally he would not indulge Jin Luo Zhu Yang. His eyes were narrowed into a slit, with a cold light, as sharp as a sword, and he stared at Zhu Yang with endless majesty and full of evil aura.

When Zhu Yang heard this, his expression froze, and his anger dissipated in an instant. Only then did he realize that the other party was not the Tongluo just now, but the Minister of Punishment, a fourth-rank official, and he was not someone he could offend with a golden gong.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, give me some face. Zhu Yang only lost his composure because his son was involved in this case!"

"Oh, it turns out that this Jin Luo is a family member of the prisoner, so according to the rules, he should avoid suspicion, so please get out!"

Xu Zisheng didn't bother to quarrel with Zhu Yang, and directly drove Zhu Yang out without leaving him any favors.

"you!"

Zhu Yang was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at Xu Zisheng with trembling fingers, saying that he was going too far to bully others and was so unkind.

"Why, are the watchmen so unruly and ignoring the law?"

Xu Zisheng turned to look at Wei Yuan, with a hint of amusement on his face, and said with deep meaning.

"I heard my father say that Wei Gong attaches great importance to rules and laws. Could it be that my father was wrong!"

Xu Zisheng directly criticized the general Wei Yuan, making it clear that he was saying that Zhu Yang had no rules and was mocking Wei Yuan for being lax in his command.

When Wei Yuan heard this, his expression moved slightly, and his gentle eyes suddenly became much more severe. He looked at Zhu Yang and said in a deep voice.

"Get back!"

Zhu Yang heard this, although he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to offend Wei Yuan's majesty, so he had no choice but to retreat.

A smile appeared on Xu Zisheng's face, and he cupped his fists and saluted Wei Yuan.

"Mr. Wei, the prisoner Zhu Chengzhu knew the law and broke the law. He insulted the women of the people in public. He knew the law and broke the law. The crime is increased to one level. He should be punished. Please also ask Wei Gong to hand over the silver gong Zhu Chengzhu to the Ministry of Punishment and take him away!"

With thoughts swirling in Wei Yuan's mind, he picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip, and said thoughtfully.

"Master Xu, are you here to save Xu Qi'an?"

Xu Zisheng showed a surprised expression when he heard this and pretended to be confused.

"Mr. Wei, what do you mean by this? What does this case have to do with Xu Qi'an?"

Wei Yuan chuckled lightly and told what happened before. He looked at Xu Zisheng with gentle eyes and observed his reaction.

Xu Zisheng's acting skills are perfect and there are no flaws. He seemed to be unaware of this matter, frowning slightly, and said in sudden realization.

"The one who the plaintiff said spoke uprightly and enforced the law impartially is Xu Qian!"

"As expected of a subordinate of Duke Wei. He was not afraid of his boss's power, acted impartially, upheld the law, acted bravely when he saw justice, and stopped the criminal Zhu Chengzhu's evil deeds. I will definitely report to His Majesty and reward him when he comes back!"

Xu Zisheng's words made Wei Yuan dumbfounded. Xu Qian's subordinates committed crimes and killed their superiors, so they should be cut in half. But when Xu Zisheng came here, he was not only innocent, but also deserved a reward. He was really eloquent and good at tactics.

"You are very sharp-tongued and good at playing tricks. You are nothing like your father!"

Wei Yuan really didn't understand how a rough man like Xu Shijun could give birth to such a naughty son. He was so clever that he could turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain. He didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Officials never use tricks. The head of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance was corrupt and derelict in his duties. He was exiled and his house was ransacked. He deserved it, but his family did not deal with it. Zhu Chengzhu knew the law and broke the law, insulted other people's wives and daughters, and committed crimes in public. Xu Qian stopped him many times, but he still did not repent, and he died unjustly!"

Having said this, Xu Zisheng's face showed some murderous intent, and a powerful aura was released, filling the seventh floor of Haoqi Tower. Except for Wei Yuan, everyone else was forced to retreat.

"I am willing to serve the world with a deep heart and not seek benefits for myself."

"This sentence was written by Wei Gong himself. I wonder if you can still uphold this intention?"

When Wei Yuan heard this, his body trembled slightly, and a powerful aura came out of his body, resisting Xu Zisheng's aura. His expression was solemn and he spoke sternly and righteously.

"This is the voice of Mr. Wei, and I will never forget it!"

"That's good!"

"Mr. Wei, I'm going to say goodbye. I'll take the silver gong and Zhu Chengzhu away. I want Si Tianjian Bai Yi to save his life. It's such a wishful thinking. Why waste everyone's time!"

After saying that, Xu Zisheng turned around and left unceremoniously, walked to the stairs, paused, and gave another reminder.

"If someone maliciously retaliates against Xu Qian who acted bravely for justice, don't blame my men for being ruthless and kill them!"

Xu Zisheng is reminding Wei Yuan to keep an eye on Zhu Yang. If he dares to retaliate against Xu Qian for this, he will not let it go.

Wei Yuan was silent, quietly watching Xu Zisheng's figure disappear into the Haoqi Tower, his eyes were deep and he lowered his head in deep thought.

Zhu Yang looked at Xu Zisheng and others who came out, his expressions were vicious and full of hostility.

Xu Zisheng stopped, fixed his eyes on Zhu Yang's face, and said coldly.

"Zhu Jinluo, hand over the prisoner Zhu Chengzhu, our punishment department will take him away!"

Zhu Yang was shocked when he heard this, and naturally he would not agree. Now Zhu Chengzhu's life was hanging by a thread. If he could not get help, he would die immediately. How could he be willing to let the Ministry of Punishment take him away.

"No, my son is seriously injured and dying. How can I let you take him away?"

"Zhu Yang, are you really provoking Da Feng's law?"

"Zhu Chengzhu knew the law and broke the law. He repeatedly advised him to insult the women of the people in public. He should be executed. If he dies, he will die!"

Zhu Yang is still unwilling to hand over his son. This is the son he values ​​the most and is expected to inherit his golden gong position in the future.

"Have you thought clearly? Are you planning to bring the whole family into harm's way by openly resisting the Ministry of Criminal Justice's law enforcement?"

Xu Zisheng's face showed a bit of chill, he stared at Zhu Yang, took a step forward, a powerful momentum rose, and he pressed forward violently.

Zhu Yang felt his breath suffocated and his face turned red. Even if he used all his strength, he still couldn't resist this powerful momentum. He had to take a few steps back. His face changed. After a long time, he showed a dejected look and bowed to answer. .

"I don't dare!"

"You're wise, otherwise I won't mind and put your whole family in the prison of the Criminal Department!"

Zhu Yang clenched his teeth and made a squeaking noise. There was faint traces of blood flowing out from the corners of his mouth. He felt extremely aggrieved. He had no choice but to do it. He was a swordsman and I was a fish. I couldn't risk my whole family just for a son.

"Still leading the way!"

Xu Zisheng was not polite and ordered Zhu Yang, his expression was extremely cold and majestic.

Zhu Yang's heart was bleeding continuously, but he did not dare to disobey. He could only lead the way and hand over his seriously injured and dying son with his own hands. At this time, Si Tianjian's white clothes had just arrived and were about to use their means to rescue Zhu Chengzhu.

"There's no need to waste your time. He's already dead anyway, so why bother saving him!"

"take away!"

After a while, Xu Zisheng, the officer behind him lifted up the seriously injured Zhu Chengzhu without any courtesy. The rough movement caused Zhu Chengzhu's breath to fluctuate, and he almost died.

Seeing this, Zhu Yang couldn't bear it anymore and took action boldly. He unsheathed the sword on his waist and slashed at Xu Zisheng. It was unbearable!

"go to hell!"

Zhu Yang is a fourth-level martial artist with an artistic conception. His sword intention is invincible and fierce. A sword energy rushes out, like a waning moon, and cuts towards Xu Zisheng's head. This Jin Luo is worthy of being a veteran of hundreds of battles. His strikes are ruthless and his movements are concise. A special move that doesn't give anyone a chance to react.

Xu Zisheng deliberately provoked Zhu Yang, but now that he saw him resisting law enforcement, he was naturally not polite. He sneered, his eyes were extremely calm, and he quietly watched Zhu Yang's sword attack approaching, and he was about to be killed with one blow.
