Zhu Jie's mouth was spitting and his face was red. He was only concerned with cursing to his heart's content and had inadvertently offended a large group of people.

There were more than 200 academy disciples in charge of welcoming the guests. Half of them were from humble backgrounds, and the other half were from large families in the three states. Zhu Jie cursed loudly, involving the parents and relatives of these welcoming disciples, and undoubtedly included many of the large and powerful families in his curse.

However, everyone knew Zhu Jie's temper, and no one jumped out to argue with him.

Chu Tian stood up slowly, suddenly stepped on the table in front of him, put his right hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and pulled his face to Zhu Jie with a fake smile: "Emperor Zhu, you scolded me happily, happily! Yes, I am a dirty man and woman in the market, a lowly person! I don't know, has the prefect Zhu heard of the name of Minzhou's 'pig peeling skin'?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the whole room fell into dead silence.

Zhu Jie's face turned extremely red, as if it was covered with a thick layer of pig blood.

The expressions of the representatives from various families on the first floor of the Meixue Spiritual Building became extremely interesting, and they looked at Chu Tian in surprise, joy, and horror!

Zhu Jie was cruel by nature and would often convict and sentence people; he also loved luxury and was fond of gold, silver, jewelry and other valuables; he was also the prefect of Minzhou, in charge of all military and civilian affairs of Minzhou, and held the most supreme power in Minzhou.

Therefore, Zhu Jie often accused people of crimes and threw them into jail, tortured them to the point where they would rather die than live, and then framed and implicated their family members, bringing your relatives and friends into jail one by one to "cooperate with the investigation" as if following the clues.

In this way, unless you destroy more than half of your property and give Zhu Jie a generous gift, you and your relatives and friends will never be able to leave the Tingwei Mansion prison in Minzhou, which is like a demon's lair.

The nickname "pig skin" was given to Zhu Jie behind his back by the people of Minzhou who had been tortured by him for many years, but no one dared to mention it in front of Zhu Jie. No one even dared to mention the words "pig" and "skin" in front of Zhu Jie.

Chu Tian said it so openly and leisurely today, as calmly as if he got up early and went out to say hello to his neighbor, "Have you eaten?"

Zhu Jie's forehead was bulging with blue veins. He looked at Chu Tian with his teeth bared. A clear stream of blood rushed out from his head, rising more than ten feet high. The blood spread out, and in the blood a huge black python with sharp horns on its head was baring its teeth and spraying blood at Chu Tian.

The temperature in the hall on the first floor dropped sharply. On the table in front of the guests, the fragrant tea served by the maids from the academy quickly froze, and many of the fine porcelain teacups were cracked by the cold.

"Boy! Insulting an official of the imperial court is a capital crime!" Zhu Jie looked at Chu Tian sinisterly and sneered, "This governor now suspects that you are having an affair with those wild men in the Hundred Thousand Wildernesses and are plotting something ill-intentioned. Someone, take this fellow down and send him to the Minzhou Prison and keep him under careful watch."

Outside the hall, a dozen guards who had followed Zhu Jie into the Jishan Academy responded, strode into the hall, and opened their arms to capture Chu Tian alive.

Chu Tian laughed strangely, raised his head and shook the thigh that was stepping on the table, and shouted sternly: "This is the territory of Minzhou. Is it your turn as the governor of Minzhou to show off your power here? What does the law of Dajin say? If any Dajin official crosses the border to handle a case, the crime is like treason, which is a more serious crime!"

Sima Zhuifeng at the side coughed heavily and stomped his feet so hard that the ground shook slightly.

"How dare you! Zhu Jie, this is my Minzhou territory. It is not your turn as the governor of Minzhou to show off your power here! Come on, drive these lawless people out! I want to see who dares to arrest the good people of my Minzhou on the land of my Minzhou!"

Chu Tian smiled and winked at Sima Zhuifeng.

Well, Zhu Jie said that Chu Tian colluded with the 100,000 wild remnants in the wild mountains to plot evil, and Sima Zhuifeng immediately defined Chu Tian as a good citizen of Qizhou. Chu Tian really wanted to know what Sima Zhuifeng would do if he knew that he was the one who killed Li Xiaoling and Zhao Heihu!

More than thirty guards from Sima Zhuifeng's mansion rushed into the hall and shouted as they blocked Zhu Jie's guards.

There was an endless clanging sound as both sides drew out half of their weapons at the same time. The edges of their swords emitted a cold light, and the hall was immediately shrouded in a murderous aura.

"Sima Zhuifeng, do you really want to go against me?" Zhu Jie's face had turned red almost purple!

"Haha, Zhu Jie, your reputation as a pig skinner is known to the common people in my state. Back then, I said that you were cruel and merciless, and that you abused the people to enrich yourself. Was I wrong?" Sima Zhuifeng gently stroked his beard and said slowly, "I have nothing to fear from going against an official like you who harms the people."

A stalemate, a stalemate with a cold atmosphere.

Sima Zhuifeng and Zhu Jie refused to give in, and the guards on both sides were in a tense standoff.

The representatives of the two states' big families who were present kept their mouths shut, not a single one of them said a word. They looked at Sima Zhuifeng and Zhu Jie with fiery eyes, hoping that the two governors would fight each other, and it would be best if they could even beat their brains out!

For Zhou Liuyun's supporters, once Sima Zhuifeng and Zhu Jie started fighting, no matter who was right or wrong, Sima Zhuifeng's reputation would be ruined, and it would be easier for Zhou Liuyun to get to the top.

Representatives of some big families in Minzhou looked at Zhu Jie with a treacherous look. They had suffered greatly from Zhu Jie over the years. How much money and other things had he extorted from them every year? Beat him up, beat him up quickly, beat his brains out, oh, it would be best if we both died together, that would be perfect.

If Zhu Jie and Sima Zhuifeng really fought here, let alone killing him, even if he was just seriously injured, the big families in Minzhou would swear that Zhu Jie would never be able to return to Minzhou alive and would be killed by them on the way!

Really, Sima Zhuifeng is such a good candidate to be the scapegoat.

Feeling the sudden mysterious atmosphere in the hall, Sima Zhuifeng and Zhu Jie's faces gradually turned livid. To be able to sit on the throne of the governor, a high-ranking official, even if he is a pig, he has gained enough experience and knowledge.

They suddenly realized that there was not a single good person in the hall on this floor!

Except for themselves, the hall on this floor is full of a bunch of bastards, all of whom deserve to be executed along with their entire clans!

The blood energy above Zhu Jie's head slowly dropped, and he was trying desperately to suppress his anger.

Sima Zhuifeng took a slow, deep breath, and he was also trying to calm himself down.

The guards under the two men kept looking at their own governor. Should they take action, or just continue in such a stupid stalemate?

"Hehe" a strange laugh came from afar. Panting and holding a cane, Mangzhou Governor Mo Yu walked slowly into the first floor hall with the help of two maids: "My two lords, if you have anything to say, please talk nicely. Don't hurt the harmony! Lord Zhu, you are really something. This is the territory of the state. How dare you confront Lord Sima without giving him a little face?"

Mo Yu rubbed the maid's body gently and said maliciously, "Aren't you afraid that you can't leave the territory of Qizhou?"
