At this point, the officials behind Zu'an also became dissatisfied and urged him to step aside.

Zuan ignored the voices and coldly looked at the man with the mustache: "You think you can just say your clothes are disheveled? Who do you think you are?"

The man with the mustache cupped his hands towards the main hall and sneered, "This is the power granted to me by the court to supervise the appearance of all officials; naturally, it is up to me to decide."

"Are you clearly trying to make things difficult for me?" Zu An's face darkened.

The man with the mustache and upturned nose said, "I have always upheld the law impartially. How could I possibly make things difficult for you alone? Why don't I make things difficult for them? As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Always look for the cause within yourself and don't blame others so easily."

Zu An was immediately astonished, never expecting that this person would utter such classic remarks from someone in his previous life.

At this point, the man with the mustache said impatiently, "You're wasting everyone's time here. According to the law, you should stand to the side for an hour as punishment, so that other officials can take this as a warning!"

Although it is early morning and the sun has already risen, standing under the sun for an hour may not be very lethal, but it is extremely insulting.

You must know that the palace gates are frequented by high-ranking officials of the court. After witnessing this scene, he will soon become the laughing stock of the entire court.

Zu An narrowed his eyes: "May I ask your esteemed name?"

"What, you want to get revenge on me?" A hint of disdain flashed in the mustache's eyes. "I am Shi Jun, the Imperial Attendant! Everything I have done today is done in accordance with the law. No matter where you cry and complain, you can't do anything to me."

"Shi Jun?" Zu An suddenly realized. "What's your relationship with Shi Kun?"

The man with the mustache stared at him coldly for a long time before finally saying, "Shi Kun is my own younger brother."

Zu An thought to himself, no wonder he looked familiar just now, it turns out he's Hibi's older brother.

Shi Jun continued, "I am not targeting you because of my brother's matter; everything is just official business."

The Shi brothers had a very good relationship, and since this guy had killed his younger brother, he naturally wanted to take revenge.

Originally, the Shi family was somewhat cautious because of the Crown Princess, but after the people from the Prince Qi's mansion came to inform them, with their cooperation, the Shi family naturally had no more worries.

As for Zu'an's victory over the Prince of Qi, the Shi family didn't take it to heart. According to intelligence, this guy was at most a bit amazing in his movement techniques, and his actual cultivation level was at most around the sixth or seventh rank.

The reason why the Prince of Qi was defeated was mainly due to underestimating his enemy, coupled with the secret assistance of a mysterious master.

What mysterious expert would dare approach the palace now? The emperor would slap him to death!

Furthermore, since he himself was a seventh-rank expert, he dared to launch an attack on Zu'an without any restraint.

The officials passing by scoffed, thinking, "Who can believe that?" But no one would stand up and say anything at that moment.

After all, you have no evidence to prove that he was settling a personal score, and no one wants to provoke the Shi family.

“Just do it like any other business,” Zuan repeated, deliberately drawing out the pronunciation.

Shi Jun snorted: "No matter what you're thinking, you'd better behave and get out of here!"

He said this on purpose to provoke the other party, so that he could call for the Imperial Guards when the other party couldn't hold back anymore. Now that he had the moral high ground, he had plenty of ways to control him.

Zuan shook his head: "I just want to correct one serious mistake you made."

"What?" Shi Jun frowned, wondering if he had made a mistake. But after reviewing the text, he realized that he was already very familiar with these etiquette rules. Even if he summoned the emperor, he wouldn't be able to find fault with him.

Zuan chuckled and said, "Who said it takes two to tango?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly teleported in front of Shi Jun, and with a crisp snap, a red five-finger mark appeared on Shi Jun's face.

Zuan had already returned to his original spot, rubbing his hands; the recoil from the previous impact was still quite sharp. "See? Now it's just like a slap in the face, isn't it?"

Everyone around was stunned. This sudden turn of events was completely unexpected. First, he was too fast, and second, no one expected him to dare to make a move.

Shi Jun covered his face, his head buzzing. His mind had gone blank for a moment, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

I got hit?

I got fucking beaten up by this guy!

And in front of so many officials?

He immediately flew into a rage: "You bastard surnamed Zu, you're asking for death!"

Anger from Shi Jun: +999+999+999...

Despite this, he did not act impulsively. Instead, he quickly calmed down and said, "How dare you openly attack an official in charge of personal appearance? This is a serious crime! Guards, seize this man, give him one hundred strokes of the cane, and then throw him into the imperial prison to await the Emperor's judgment!"

He thought of how the Prince of Qi had been defeated by the other party, and in addition, the other party's movements were so fast that even he could not see them clearly. Therefore, if he were to make a move, he might not be able to secure victory.

If we can't defeat the opponent in a short time, it will be even more embarrassing, so it's better to use other forces.

Now, his position of overseeing the appearance of all officials allows him to mobilize the Imperial Guards under certain circumstances.

The imperial guards around them were also dumbfounded; they had never seen anything like this since they started their service.

In the past, which official whose appearance was found to be inappropriate was not trembling with fear and obediently accepting punishment? How could anyone openly resist and beat up an inspector like this?

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no, in any previous dynasty, has there ever been such a precedent?

So when they heard Shi Jun's furious roar, they were momentarily stunned, wondering what the proper procedure was for handling such a situation.
