Chapter 192: Guardian Shentu Bao, beheading the prime minister, and confronting the royal family
As the most important place in the Daying Dynasty, the capital city naturally has more than one martial arts master in charge.
As the golden body floated in the air, Wei Fan sensed that in the direction of the imperial palace, there were a few terrifying auras that seemed to have awakened from their slumber, and their eyes were looking coldly towards him and Li Yunfei.
"Just kill the main culprit. Don't involve the common people, and don't implicate the royal family. The Demon Hunter Organization has an agreement with the royal families of the major dynasties. If the royal family fails to fight against the demons, it is not their fault!"
Li Yunfei's telepathic voice sounded in Wei Fan's mind. He looked at the dazzling golden body floating in front of him, but the panel did not respond at all.
This means that this unknown martial master may not be a good person, but there is nothing wrong with him when it comes to fighting against demons.
"Shen Tu, save me. Wei Fan is rebelling. Hurry up and summon Wu Zun to take down this lodge!"
Before Wei Fan could speak, Zhang Juzheng, who was holding the sword in his hand, spoke first.
He had been behaving himself all along, just waiting for this opportunity.
"Shen Tu Bao, it turns out that he is Shen Tu Bao, one of the three guardians of the Demon Suppression Division!"
As soon as Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth, Wei Fan knew the identity of this martial arts master.
"Zhang Juzheng?"
Shentu Bao was surprised. He realized that one of the two martial masters who suddenly appeared in Kyoto was holding the head of Zhang Juzheng, one of the three great garrison commanders. "How come you only have your head left?"
Zhang Juzheng naturally couldn't say that he went to surround and kill Wei Fan, but was killed by Wei Fan until only his head was left. He shouted: "What are you talking about? Hurry up and summon the martial masters to capture Wei Fan!"
Shen Tubao's expression turned cold: "I don't need you to tell me how to act!"
As he spoke, he frowned and looked at Wei Fan: "I know the grudge between you and Zhang Juzheng, but killing the garrison commander without authorization is a serious crime. Young man, you'd better think it over clearly."
Wei Fan had a blank expression on his face: "Zhang Juzheng colluded with the Prison Dragon Village and sold out the top secret information of the Demon Suppression Division. In order to fight for power, he ignored the rebellion of Master Fu, the commander of Qingyun City, and the breach of the defense line. He delayed sending reinforcements to rescue, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties among the people and soldiers of Qingyun City. As an inspector, I have the right to judge him, not to kill him without authorization.
Get out of the way, or I'll take you down too!"
Wei Fan doesn't have much good feelings towards Shentu Bao!
Although the panel did not react to Shentu Bao, it does not mean that Shentu Bao is really a good person. At least in the affairs of Qingyun City, Shentu Bao did not stop Zhang Juzheng's behavior and chose to watch.
If he had not broken through to the Divine Realm and turned the tide at the critical moment, it is unknown how many people would have died in Su City.
Of course, it is also possible that Shentu Bao did not know about Zhang Juzheng's targeting of Su Cheng at that time, but he should have known about it afterwards. However, no one punished Zhang Juzheng for his behavior, and Zhang Juzheng repeatedly targeted him, a hero of the human race.
Shentu Bao may not be a bad person, but he is not a good person either.
He can understand this kind of person, but he doesn't like him.
Shentu Bao was surprised: "You actually became an inspector? If you become an inspector, then Zhang Juzheng's affairs have nothing to do with me!"
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Juzheng coldly: "You will suffer for your own mistakes. You actually want to drag me down with you. You deserve to die!"
If he had been more impulsive and listened to Zhang Juzheng and immediately fought with Wei Fan, he would have deserved to be killed.
Wei Fan took out the Inspector's badge and asked, "Any more questions?"
Shentu Bao shook his head: "Inspector, please do as you please!"
He and Zhang Juzheng did not have much friendship to begin with, and they were even at odds with each other. The reason why he warned Wei Fan before was because he was also a garrison commander and could not just watch Zhang Juzheng being killed.
Now that Wei Fan has the power to kill Zhang Juzheng, why would he offend this monster Wei Fan for Zhang Juzheng?
After becoming an inspector, Wei Fan was no longer an ordinary demon hunter, and his status and identity changed immediately.
"Lead the way. Previously, Master Fu, the commander of Su City, was colluding with the demons to rebel. Qingyun City's front was broken and asked you for help. It took almost a month for you to respond. Today, I want to thoroughly investigate this matter and find out who has ignored the important task of fighting against the demons in order to fight for power and profit."
Wei Fan didn't want to let Shentu Bao go just like that. The Kyoto Demon Suppression Bureau had to give an explanation for what happened in Qingyun City.
Shentu Bao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately realized that it was not enough for Wei Fan to kill Zhang Juzheng, he had to bring out all the relevant people.
"This man is really murderous, luckily I didn't offend him!"
He looked at Wei Fan with a complicated expression, then took the lead and flew towards the Demon Suppression Division.
Wei Fan's attitude clearly showed that he was willing to offend the Daying Dynasty.
Naturally he knew something about Sucheng's affairs. Not only was Zhang Juzheng, the garrison commander, involved, but many people from the Demon Suppression Division were also involved, as was Prime Minister Fan Chuanzong.
Even later on, the matter was not pursued, as both the Sheng Wang faction and the Tai Shi faction contributed and exchanged interests.
At the same time, the entire capital of the Daying Dynasty was shaken.
Wei Fan's name has long been well-known, and Zhang Juzheng has served as the garrison commander for more than two hundred years. The grudge between the two has long been known to everyone.
No one expected that the final result would be like this. Wei Fan directly carried Zhang Juzheng's head to the Kyoto Demon Suppression Division to demand punishment.
Prime Minister’s Mansion!
"Zhang Juzheng was actually beheaded. Didn't he say he was sure of it?"
Fan Chuanzong looked frightened and finally realized how terrible Wei Fan was.
Although Zhang Juzheng still had a head, he was almost dead. Wei Fan came as an inspector to thoroughly investigate the affairs of Sucheng, so he could not escape the responsibility.
Because in the whole thing, he was the real ultimate figure, and Zhang Juzheng was just helping him.
"No, I have to go find King Liang!"
Only King Liang can save his life! Fan Chuanzong hurried out of the door. Wei Fan's audacity had already intimidated him.
Not satisfied with killing the garrison commander Zhang Juzheng to the point where only his head was left, he even came to the capital carrying Zhang Juzheng's head, as if he was going to bring an army to the court to hold him accountable.
This kind of person, he didn't think that his position as prime minister could protect his life. If he dared to kill a garrison commander, how could he not dare to kill a civil servant like him? However, just as Fan Chuanzong left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw three golden figures coming over the Prime Minister's Mansion.
[Fan Chuanzong: The ninth level of heaven, the Prime Minister of the Great Winning Dynasty, in order to fight for power and profit, he ignored the fact that the human race’s defense line was broken]
[Kill it and you will gain 900 years of ordinary skills]
"Where is Prime Minister Fan going in such a hurry..."
Wei Fan's calm voice sounded, and he grabbed into the air with his five fingers. As the power of his will manifested, Fan Chuanzong flew into the sky involuntarily.
Fan Chuanzong's expression changed drastically: "I am the prime minister of the dynasty. Wei Fan, if you dare to hurt me, the dynasty will definitely not let you go!"
He spoke in a stern voice and never expected that Wei Fan would come directly to his house and not give him any chance to find King Liang.
"I've been abandoned!"
He probably realized that the person in the high position might not want to provoke Wei Fan, or he might be afraid of his identity as the Demon Hunter Inspector.
Otherwise, since Wei Fan had been in Kyoto for so long, the royal martial arts master should have appeared long ago and would not have allowed Wei Fan to capture the prime minister.
Wei Fan grabbed Fan Chuanzong's neck and lifted him up in the air like a chicken.
Throughout Kyoto, countless people were shocked. Wei Fan did this obviously to shock the entire Daying Dynasty, otherwise he would not have used such brutal means and even flew in the sky so that everyone in Kyoto could see this scene.
"Fortunately, I just stood by and watched without adding insult to injury, otherwise Wei Fan might not dare to touch me."
At Prince Sheng's Mansion not far away, Yue Shengfang watched this scene in horror.
She was naturally also angry that Wei Fan and her daughter Long Xueyi did not give her face, so after the incident in Sucheng, she chose to watch, but still gave face to the Long family and did not add insult to injury.
At this moment, she was both regretful and afraid. She regretted missing the opportunity to win over Wei Fan, and was afraid of not adding insult to injury.
In the air, Fan Chuanzong kicked his legs straight, feeling extremely ashamed and angry.
How could a prime minister suffer such humiliation before?
He wanted to speak, but Wei Fan held his neck and he couldn't speak.
Wei Fan looked coldly at the Prime Minister Fan Chuanzong whom he met for the first time. If he had to name the person he wanted to kill the most, Zhang Juzheng would be behind him.
No matter how bad Zhang Juzheng was, he served as a garrison commander for many years. Even if he had no merits, he had worked hard and did real things for the human race.
This kind of corrupt civil servant has no ability at all. He can only disrupt the government and fight for power. All he thinks about is who to support to ascend the throne so that he can continue to maintain his power.
In order to celebrate his birthday, he asked the prefect of Tongzhou to ask the tree demon to reserve peaches.
“I was just on my way to the capital when I saw you sending people to assassinate the grandson of the Grand Tutor. I saved his life, but you held a grudge against me for that. You were even angry that I ruined your plan to assassinate the descendants of your political enemies, and you implicated Sucheng’s fight against demons. You ignored the breach of the human race’s defense line and let Zhang Juzheng suppress the situation, resulting in countless casualties among the soldiers of Sucheng.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Now, as the Demon Hunter Inspector, I sentence you to immediate death!"
When these words were spoken, the whole city was in an uproar.
Many people only know that Zhang Juzheng is targeting Wei Fan and that there is a grudge between the two, but few people know how it specifically came about.
It turned out that Wei Fan had offended the Prime Minister because he had rescued the illegitimate child that was found in the Grand Tutor's Mansion a few months ago.
What is outrageous is that despite receiving such a favor from Wei Fan, the Grand Tutor's Mansion was actually indifferent to the fact that Wei Fan was targeted and suppressed by the Prime Minister, as if it had nothing to do with them.
"It's because of this!"
Even Shentu Bao looked towards the direction of the Grand Tutor's Mansion in surprise: "I have to stay away from the Grand Tutor's Mansion from now on!"
It is better not to deal with such a heartless and ungrateful person.
As far as he knew, the Grand Tutor not only did not help Su Cheng and Wei Fan, but also used this incident to gain some benefits from the Prime Minister's faction.
"Show mercy!"
Suddenly, a sound was heard in the distance, and several figures rose into the air!
Wei Fan glanced at these people, and without hesitation, he unleashed his strength, turning Fan Chuanzong into a bloody mist on the spot.
Zhang Juzheng, who only had a head left, showed surprise on his face: "Prince Liang, save me!"
The man who came was none other than his patron, Prince Liang, one of the princes with the greatest chance among the several princes vying for the throne.
“Bold!”
One of them shouted, "Wei Fan, didn't you hear King Liang yelling at you to stop?"
Everyone was horrified. Even King Liang had shown up, but Wei Fan still killed Fan Chuanzong without hesitation. Was he going to go to war with the Daying Dynasty? Wei Fan glanced at the person who spoke with an indifferent expression: "Who does he think he is? He told me to stop, so I stopped?"
He had no respect at all for the so-called royal family.
Not to mention Prince Liang, he would not accept it even if the emperor was unfair.
This is the world of martial arts. Without strength, everything is bullshit.
King Liang had a gloomy face and said, "Very good. In all these years, you are the first warrior who is so arrogant to me. Do you really think that my Qin family controls the world by relying on false reputation? Release the garrison commander Zhang, otherwise you will not be able to leave Kyoto today."
He didn't expect that even if he showed up, he still couldn't save Fan Chuanzong.
Fan Chuanzong could not be saved, but Zhang Juzheng must be saved, otherwise he would have no hope in the subsequent fight for the throne.
Wei Fan turned to look at Li Yunfei beside him, revealing his white teeth: "I won't implicate the royal family, but if they attack me, it's okay for me to kill them, right?"
Li Yunfei looked grim, but he still nodded and said, "The inspectors have the duty of monitoring all countries and have the right to kill anyone who is lazy in fighting against the demons. Anyone who interferes will be charged with the same crime and beheaded on the spot, even if he is a member of the royal family!"
Wei Fan nodded and lifted up Zhang Juzheng's head.
"don't want……"
Zhang Juzheng had a bad feeling and started yelling.
The next moment, Wei Fan slapped Zhang Juzheng's head without hesitation, smashing it to pieces.
[Kill Zhang Juzheng, gain 20,000 years of ordinary power, 60 years of golden body power]
[Ordinary skill: 173900 years]
[Golden Body Skill: 200 Years]
“…”
The air suddenly became quiet and everyone was stunned and gasped.
Wei Fan threw Zhang Juzheng's broken head down from the sky in disgust: "I killed Zhang Juzheng, now let me see how you can keep me from leaving Kyoto!"
Li Yunfei's eyelids twitched wildly: "This guy is so bold, isn't this a slap in the face of the Great Winning Dynasty, forcing them to turn against him..."
And as Wei Fan's companion, he would probably be implicated again.
Wei Fan is not afraid of a dynasty's royal family, but he is afraid. The dynasty's royal family is not a mascot. Without terrifying military power, how can they suppress so many masters? But under normal circumstances, people from the royal family will not come out.
Because they won't do something like fighting demons for their lives.
Demon hunters have the right to monitor all countries, but ordinary people will not offend them to death. If they are not strong enough, they will be killed on the spot. Even if the subsequent demon hunter organization steps in, what is the use?
"you……"
Prince Liang looked at Zhang Juzheng's broken head and a moment of dullness appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that his threat not only failed to save Zhang Juzheng, but also prompted Wei Fan to kill Zhang Juzheng faster. This guy really didn't give him, the prince, any face at all.
He even killed Zhang Juzheng and made provocative remarks to provoke himself, which made him take the initiative to attack.
"He wants to kill me!"
When King Liang had such a thought in his mind, he became wary.
He naturally knew about Zhang Juzheng's plan to ambush and kill Wei Fan, and it was the Four Symbols Locking Dragon Formation that he had borrowed. Even with the cooperation of Chen Jiaxin from the Prison Dragon Village and the masters from the Sky Eagle Fort, Zhang Juzheng still failed.
This meant that Wei Fan must have had some means that he didn't know about, which enabled him to break the ambush set by Zhang Juzheng and others, and came to the capital city, probably to provoke him to take action.
Given Wei Fan's audacity, he didn't think that Wei Fan would not dare to kill him just because of his identity as King of Liang.
For a moment, King Liang hesitated!
Because the royal martial arts master did not show up at this time.
