My System Seems Different from Theirs

“What? You’re saying that even with half a million troops under my command, the Emperor still suspects me of treason?”

“Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence....

Chapter 828 Ruffian 18 (2/2)

Xiao Yidan comforted him, "I've heard that Fang Zhiyi is quite shrewd, having won over many sect leaders and even recruited the Seven Absolutes to that Martial Virtue Division. But that's none of our business."

"We, the people of the martial world, are here to settle scores and seek revenge. Why should they meddle in our business?" Jiang Xue was saying when Jiang Gucheng's painful cries came from the backyard.

"Brother's having another attack." Jiang Xue closed her eyes in pain.

After a while, the noise in the backyard stopped, and several people carried out two corpses.

Jiang Xue saw Meng Xiaodie and quickly went up to her: "Sister-in-law, how is my brother?"

Meng Xiaodie smiled and patted her head: "You're asleep, it's alright. Your father found him a new miracle doctor, he'll arrive this afternoon."

Jiang Xue looked at the two dead people, one a maid and the other a middle-aged man. She frowned slightly: "What kind of lousy doctor is this? Bah!" She was very angry because her father had recently forbidden her from going out, saying that the situation outside was delicate.

Jiang Xue couldn't understand how the powerful and influential Jiang family could affect her family in such a delicate situation.

Even the major sects that come to celebrate Father's birthday every year are extremely respectful. Could it be that some so-called Martial Virtue Division could frighten Father like that?

Just as she was about to speak, a commotion arose from the front yard.

A servant rushed over: "Miss, Miss Meng, you must take the young master away immediately!"

Jiang Xue was puzzled: "What?"

"Those peasants have accused our young master, and the imperial court has sent people to arrest him!"

Jiang Xue immediately flew into a rage: "Who gave them the audacity! Don't they know this is the Jiang family home?"

Fortunately, Meng Xiaodie was worried about Jiang Gucheng's situation, and after much persuasion, Jiang Xue finally agreed to leave with her brother first.

"Master Jiang, your son has committed murder multiple times. You're not going to cover for him, are you?" The newcomer was the eldest disciple of the Lingshan Sect, dressed in the uniform of the Martial Virtue Division, with a token hanging from his waist.

Although Jiang Jun was displeased, as a seasoned veteran, he knew that the Martial Virtue Bureau was now in a powerful position, and he could not confront them head-on: "Sir, everyone in the martial world knows that my son is ill. He has not left the house since. This must be a false accusation."

"Whether it's a false accusation or not, we'll know in the first trial. Hand the person over."

"this...."

Seeing the butler wink at him, Jiang Jun immediately changed his attitude: "Go ahead and search, but don't think you can just leave it at that if you search my mansion today!"

"Oh? What's wrong with our case?"

"The former prime minister is an old friend of mine, Jiang Jun, and the governor of Jiangnan is also an old friend of mine. Young man, even your master would have to call me senior. Don't be too arrogant." Jiang Jun was already a bit hot-tempered, and now he hardened up.

So what if it's the imperial court? Doesn't he have the imperial court's backing too? He really didn't believe that a mere Wude Division would dare to challenge the Jiang family.

Are you comparing your background with mine?

Jiang Jun then realized that the person he was talking to was standing behind the eldest disciple of the Lingshan Sect.

He didn't recognize the man, but still maintained the demeanor of a master: "So what if it is? My Jiang family has never interfered in the affairs of the martial world. I believe we have done right by the imperial court and our friends in the martial world. If your Wude Division bullies us with your power, I, Jiang Jun, will certainly not let it go!"

The man laughed: "Your background is the Jiang family, a powerful local family, a retired prime minister, and the governor of Jiangnan, right?" He slowly walked to the front of the crowd, grinning, "I'm so scared. You have connections, but I don't have any connections."
