Before he could finish speaking, Yang Sheng suddenly grabbed Huang Yunchang by the neck and, with a snap, strangled the hapless Huang Yunchang to death right in front of everyone!
Turning around, Yang Sheng picked at his ear: "What did you just say?"
The young man in white and his companions were all filled with shock and anger.
These henchmen of the Guardian Bureau are utterly lawless!
They had already brought out Grand Secretary Zhang and even produced his token, yet this guy still dared to kill Huang Yunchang right in front of them. He simply didn't take them seriously!
Yin Wuxie leaned close to Yang Sheng and whispered, "Boss, there's some trouble."
Zhang Xiren was highly renowned in both the martial arts world and the imperial court. He was known for his integrity, honesty, and incorruptibility.
Many disciples from major martial arts sects voluntarily joined Zhang Xiren's school, claiming they would help him rectify the government and eliminate treacherous officials.
The two who came this time were of high rank: Yue Zhongli, the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, known as "Sword of Following the Wind," and his junior sister, Jiang Xuerou, known as "Sword of Jade."
These two are rising stars on the martial arts rankings, one ranked ninety-seventh and the other one hundred and seventeenth.
The top sects in the Jianghu of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all numbered. In terms of overall strength and heritage, the strongest should be: the First Sect, the Second Temple, the Third Gate, the Fourth Sect, the Fifth Family, and the Sixth Gang.
Of course, this ranking is somewhat inaccurate, as most of the major sects and forces are from the Central Plains, with the only major sect from other countries being the Vajra Minglun Temple, which is located in the Golden Horde.
However, this is enough to prove that these major sects still have great strength and prestige in the Central Plains. The Heavenly Sword Sect is one of the three sects.
The Jianghu Fengyun Ranking is a list compiled by some Jianghu media based on information about experts, strongmen, and young talents.
Being among the top 100 in the younger generation is already considered an achievement, and Yue Zhongli, ranked ninety-seventh, is quite famous in the martial arts world.
Yang Sheng said calmly, "This is the capital city. No matter how domineering you are in the martial arts world, you still have to follow the rules here."
As he spoke, Yang Sheng looked at Yue Zhongli and Jiang Xuerou and sneered, "What positions do you two hold? How dare you yell at me and give me orders?"
Huang Yunchang's defamation and insults against the Empress Dowager involved the dignity of the imperial family and should have been handled by our Imperial Guard.
"Don't even mention you, even if Zhang Xiren himself came today, Huang Yunchang would still die!"
"You bunch of castrated dogs and lackeys deserve to die!"
Yue Zhongli is the top expert of the younger generation of Tianjian Sect and a prominent figure on the Jianghu Ranking. Everyone treats him with utmost respect.
Seeing Yang Sheng's arrogance, Yue Zhongli was immediately enraged, and his long sword was already drawn.
"Senior brother, calm down!"
"Dean Huang is already dead. There's no point in you fighting these lackeys of the Guardian Division."
Jiang Xuerou stopped Yue Zhongli, looked directly at Yang Sheng, and said in a deep voice, "Let's put aside Dean Huang's matter for now, but surely none of the disciples of Qinghu Academy under your command have insulted the Empress Dowager, have they?"
Hand him over and bring him back to the three judicial departments for trial!
Yang Sheng glanced at Jiang Xuerou with a slight surprise.
Compared to Yue Zhongli, this woman was more intelligent and saw through his plan at a glance.
The charge of killing Huang Yunchang was fabricated, but the charge of insulting the Empress Dowager could not be thoroughly investigated.
Could the emperor really send the three judicial departments to carefully investigate whether Huang Yunchang cursed his grandmother, what grammar he used, or how many generations of his ancestors he insulted?
Therefore, as long as the charges are proven, Huang Yunchang's death will be in vain.
Just like the Northern Army general who was forced to his death by him, he had no way to refute it.
The phrase "fabricated charges" is truly malicious.
But this unfounded premise is that the crime must be substantiated, no matter how outrageous it is.
Huang Yunchang's direct disciples all came forward to testify against him; there were no better witnesses than these.
Therefore, this person cannot be killed, nor can they be taken away by the other party.
Yang Sheng stared at Ning Jiangxuerou and said coldly, "I've said it before, it's not for outsiders to interfere in what the Guardian Division does!"
You guys keep calling yourselves lackeys, but since you're all working for important figures in the court, don't you count as lackeys?
Self-deception, how laughable!
This time, Yue Zhongli could no longer hold back.
The sword rang out, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, and a sword aura was already upon him!
