Chapter 472 Xu Ming! If you have the guts, don’t let me out! (4000 words, two chapters in one)
"The Royal Guards are so majestic."
A man walked down from upstairs step by step.
The man was holding a fan, looking like a gentle scholar.
Liu Jiading looked at the man coming down the stairs with his eyes narrowed.
Now that the reputation of the Jinyiwei has spread in the imperial capital, basically no one dares to stop the Jinyiwei from solving cases.
The fact that this person dared to say this directly and bluntly shows that he is not an ordinary person and he must have a lot of backers.
Even if this person stands up for the other party for no apparent reason, there must be a certain purpose behind it.
But no matter what, there is definitely a certain hostility towards the Jinyiwei.
"We, the Jinyiwei, act in accordance with the laws of the Wu Kingdom. I don't know what you mean by 'official authority'. Where do you get the idea from?" Liu Jiading asked with a frown, not showing any sign of backing down.
The man sneered twice: "According to the laws of Wu Kingdom? I'm afraid the Jinyiwei have already disregarded the law?"
Liu Jiading replied calmly: "Sir, you said we have no respect for the law. Do you have any evidence? In contrast, you slandered us without knowing right from wrong. Shouldn't you give us an explanation? Or do you think the reputation of our Jinyiwei is not important at all?"
"Explain? Why should I give you an explanation? What qualifications do you little bastards have?" The man's eyes were full of disdain, and he said in a condescending tone, "But no matter what, you can't take this person away."
"Sir, are you going to stop us from handling the case?" Liu Jiading said coldly. Although his tone remained polite, he would not give in at all.
From beginning to end, Xu Ming looked at the team leader named "Liu Jiading" with admiration.
Although Xu Ming didn't know him, he should have been transferred here during the major transfer.
However, this person handled the matter very calmly from beginning to end, and he focused on the four words "handling cases according to law". No matter who the other party was, he always put the laws of the Wu Kingdom behind.
This is the most important thing.
Being an imperial guard is a job that is prone to offending people.
All we can rely on are the laws of the Wu State and Emperor Wu.
As long as you do what you should do within the framework of power, no matter what you do, there will be room for maneuver.
This is also a form of self-protection.
"Stop you from investigating the case? How about this young master stop you from investigating the case?" The man's gaze was very arrogant. Without a doubt, there must be a powerful force behind this man.
But Liu Jiading was not afraid at all. He drew out the Tang sword from his waist and said loudly, "Zheng Qiu, the son of the Dali Temple, robbed a woman in broad daylight and disregarded the laws of the Wu Kingdom. The Jinyiwei will arrest him according to the law. If anyone tries to stop him, they will also be arrested!"
After that, Liu Jiading said to Zheng Qiu and the man: "Catch them!"
"Yes!" The other four Jinyiwei shouted and took out their long swords to capture the two men.
"You ants, who dares to touch my young master!"
Just when the two Jinyiwei were about to capture the man, an old servant's shout was heard.
After a few palm prints, two Jinyiwei were knocked out, and the tables and chairs were knocked over.
"puff!"
The two Jinyiwei propped themselves up from the ground and spat out blood.
The next moment, a figure flashed across the teahouse, and the old servant slapped Liu Jiading again.
Liu Jiading blocked with his sword, but it was too late, the opponent was too fast.
However, just when Liu Jiading was about to be knocked away by a palm, in Liu Jiading's sight, the old servant's wrist was grabbed by a big hand.
Liu Jiading was startled and looked up, seeing a man standing sideways in front of him.
The old servant's heart froze. He felt as if his wrist was clamped by an iron claw and he couldn't move forward at all! "Bang!"
Xu Ming kicked the old servant, and the old servant hit the wall and spit out blood.
If Xu Ming hadn't wanted to keep the other person alive, the other person would have been dead.
On the other side, Tang Ningzhi's almond-shaped eyes were stunned for a moment when she saw Xu Ming.
Even Tang Ningzhi suspected that she had seen it wrong.
How did I meet Xu Ming here? Tang Ningzhi sat in her seat and did not make a move. She wanted to see what kind of attitude the Jinyiwei commander would have when facing these princes and nobles.
"Thank you for your help, knight." Liu Jiading clasped his fists and bowed.
"You're welcome." Xu Ming smiled, then looked at the middle-aged man, "What's your name?"
The middle-aged man did not seem panicked at all: "The son of the great pillar of the country - Mo Yuanshan!"
"So he's the son of the great national pillar. No wonder he's so arrogant." Xu Ming sneered, then looked at Liu Jiading, "He's the son of the great national pillar. Let's just forget it. He's not someone you Jinyiwei can mess with."
Liu Jiading frowned and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your kindness, but even if the other party is a great national pillar! Our Jinyiwei will capture him!"
"How much is your monthly salary?" Xu Ming asked.
Liu Jiading was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why the other party suddenly asked this, but still replied: "As the team leader, I get ten taels of silver a month."
Xu Ming smiled and said, "Ten taels of silver a month is not a small amount, but it's not too much either. Is it necessary to risk your life?"
Ten taels of silver, converted into Lan Haixing’s salary, would be 20,000 yuan, which is indeed a high salary.
But the problem is that he is the team leader of the Jinyiwei in the capital of Wu State. Considering the prices in the capital of Wu State, this salary is not high. It can only be said that he can live a decent life and save a certain amount of money every month.
Liu Jiading said proudly: "Sir, this is not about money. We, the Jinyiwei, are likely to have conflicts with some court officials and nobles. If we are afraid of the powerful this time, what will we do in the future? What is the need for the Jinyiwei to exist? What should your majesty think?"
"That's a good point." Mo Yuanshan smiled, "Then just try to catch me!"
"Hmph! Do you think I don't dare?" Liu Jiading personally drew his sword and went to capture Mo Yuanshan.
Mo Yuanshan was also a martial artist. Facing Liu Jiading, he punched him directly. Liu Jiading also punched him in the same way. Both of them retreated two meters.
"A martial artist at the Wudan realm, isn't he just a complete trash who bullies others by taking advantage of his power?" Xu Ming commented on the son of this great national pillar in his heart.
But Xu Ming still felt that the other party was not good enough.
That great national pillar is a warrior of the highest realm. In the world of immortal cultivation, he is equivalent to a cultivator in the Ascended Realm and can even fight with cultivators in the Ascended Realm.
Any warrior at the end of his life is the most precious resource of the human dynasty.
As the son of a martial artist at the end of the world, he looked to be in his thirties or forties, and was only at the Wudan realm, which was indeed a little insufficient.
After the two men stood firm again, they started fighting again. On the other side, the old servant slapped Xu Ming with his palm.
The palm strike from the old servant of the Mo family was intended to kill.
Xu Ming didn't show any courtesy to the other party and punched him directly.
"ah!"
The other party let out a scream.
Xu Ming's punch directly shattered the old servant's left hand, and the whole arm went limp, completely disabled.
In addition, Xu Ming's martial arts energy mixed with sword energy shocked into his cave, crushing the spiritual veins in his body.
The old servant is still alive, but he can’t be cured in this lifetime and can only be a mortal.
"How dare you!"
Mo Yuanshan was furious when he saw his old servant being abandoned! How could he hit my old servant? He was clearly hitting my face!
Mo Yuanshan knocked Liu Jiading away with one punch, and then punched Xu Ming with all his strength.
Xu Ming easily neutralized Mo Yuanshan's punch, and then stepped on him directly.
Xu Ming's martial arts energy was like a mountain, suppressing Mo Yuanshan so tightly that he couldn't move Xu Ming's foot away from his chest!
"Who are you? Are you not afraid of death? How dare you tell me your name?"
Mo Yuanshan's cheeks flushed.
This was the first time in Mo Yuanshan's life that he had suffered such humiliation!
Moreover, Mo Yuanshan also felt that the other party was a martial artist at the Wudan realm, but his martial arts true energy was much stronger than his own.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Compared to him, my own martial arts realm seemed like a piece of paper! "Xu Guofu - Xu Ming."
Xu Ming spoke calmly.
"Xu Ming! Okay, your name is Xu Ming, right? I'll remember it."
Suddenly, Mo Yuanshan's voice stopped abruptly.
Xu Guofu. Xu Ming's name kept echoing in Mo Yuanshan's mind.
There may be several people named Xu Ming in Wudu.
But there is only one Xu Ming in Wuguo Mansion! "I don't know in detail whether our Jinyiwei official power is great, but my official power is indeed not small."
Xu Ming smiled, took out a jade plaque with "Jinyiwei Commander" engraved on it, and said to everyone loudly: "Jinyiwei Commander Xu Ming, while drinking tea, I saw Dali Qing's son Zheng Qiu molesting a decent woman and even trying to rob her. Daguozhu's son Mo Yuanshan organized Jinyiwei to investigate the case. I arrested him on the spot and put him in Jinyifu Prison for trial!"
Xu Ming said to Mo Yuanshan: "Don't worry, I'm in Jinyi Mansion, Daguozhu can come to see me at any time."
When Xu Ming finished speaking, everyone in the teahouse bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Commander!"
Xu Ming looked around and said, "Why are you giving me this courtesy? Get up."
"Thank you, sir." After getting Xu Ming's permission, the others slowly stood up.
"Liu Jiading, tie up these three men and take them to the Jinyifu jail. Also, have the Jinyifu officials write a letter and send it to the residences of Daguozhu and Daliqing, telling them that their sons have been captured by me!"
Xu Ming's voice was not loud, but the majesty in his tone made everyone's heart tremble.
This was not because of Xu Ming's official authority, but because although Xu Ming had only been in office for a few days, he had already been influenced by the fortune of the mountains and rivers.
"Yes!" Liu Jiading nodded heavily.
"Regarding the injured brothers, the Jinyiwei will provide subsidies. Don't forget to claim them." Xu Ming patted Liu Jiading on the shoulder.
"Thank you, sir!" Liu Jiading was very excited.
He never thought that he would be able to meet the commander here! If he told his colleagues about this, they would definitely not believe him.
"Why thank me? You handle cases according to the law and are not afraid of the powerful. Jinyiwei needs people like you. I hope you can stick to your original intentions no matter how long it takes." Xu Ming encouraged Liu Jiading, "Don't worry, as long as you enforce the law according to the law, the entire Jinyiwei will stand behind you!"
"Yes, sir!" Liu Jiading's heart was pounding.
Liu Jiading stood up and waved to his colleagues, "Take them all to Jinyifu Prison!"
"yes!"
The other four Jinyiwei were more confident with the support of the commander.
Not long after, Zheng Qiu, Mo Yuanshan and the old servant of the Mo family were all taken away.
"Xu Ming! If you have the guts, don't let me out!"
"I'll wait for you to interrogate me!"
Mo Yuanshan shouted as he was taken away.
"Shut his mouth!" Liu Jiading said coldly.
A Jinyiwei picked up a dirty rag on the table and stuffed it into Mo Yuanshan's mouth.
"I, your humble servant, would like to thank you for saving my life."
After the situation was settled, the storyteller and his granddaughter quickly knelt down in front of Xu Ming.
Xu Ming quickly helped them up: "There's no need for you two to do this. This is the duty of our Jinyiwei. Don't worry, I'll drink tea here and witness what happened."
"Thank you, sir." The storyteller and the blind woman stood up, but just as the storyteller stood up, a note was secretly stuffed into Xu Ming's sleeve.
"If you two have nothing else to do, please go back first. However, if you are summoned, please cooperate." Xu Ming said with a smile.
"Of course. We two live at No. 203 Guihua Street. You can summon us at any time." The storyteller nodded.
"That's good." Xu Ming smiled. "But old man, where did you get this song? How come you are talking about something that didn't happen? I was sent to the Dragon Palace as an envoy, how come I don't know that I did these things?"
"Please forgive me, sir." The storyteller knelt down again. "This piece of music has been circulating among the neighbors recently. I found it interesting, so I adapted it. I absolutely did not mean to offend you, sir."
"It's okay. I won't pursue you. But, this story is fake. I believe the old gentleman knows a lot of storytellers. This matter concerns the reputation of the Dragon Queen of the North Sea, so it's better not to spread it." Xu Ming said seriously.
"Of course, of course. When I go back this time, I will definitely tell my colleagues in the industry to stop reciting similar songs." The storyteller agreed quickly.
Xu Ming bowed and said, "Thank you very much."
The storyteller quickly responded: "You are too polite, sir."
After the storyteller and her granddaughter left, the owner of the teahouse hurriedly came forward to greet Xu Ming.
Xu Ming told him to make a list of the lost tea tables and send it to the Jinyi Mansion.
The teahouse owner quickly said, "This amount of money is nothing, don't bother me."
Xu Ming smiled and said, "This is your right to pursue. Why are you panicking? I will send you the compensation when the time comes."
"Yes." Seeing that the commander was so insistent, the teahouse owner naturally couldn't say anything.
After everyone on the second floor had left, Tang Ningzhi was the only one left.
Xu Ming bowed and said, "If the Jinyi Guards come to look for the princess and come to the Jinyi Mansion, I hope the princess can spare some time."
"I know." Tang Ningzhi turned her head.
Xu Ming said no more and went downstairs directly.
Watching Xu Ming go downstairs, Tang Ningzhi always felt like she was being ignored.
After thinking for a while, Tang Ningzhi bit her thin lips and followed him down.
