Among the men who were forced to kneel on the ground, three of them had knotted bones and thick calluses on their palms, clearly rough men who were used to wielding swords and guns. They stared at the heavily armed strong men around them with bared teeth, and cold sweat kept oozing from their foreheads.

The other four, however, were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had voluptuous figures. Their palms were white and clean without any wear and tear, and various gold and jade ornaments were hung on their belts. It was obvious that they were wealthy and did not come from ordinary families.

It was really strange that they mixed with these ruffians and gathered together for a banquet in the middle of the night. Their identities did not match at all!

The remaining man was nearly nine feet tall, with skin as dark as coal, and extremely developed muscles behind his shoulders, like two pairs of wings curled behind his shoulder blades. He was none other than Wang Qi, one of the four leading captains in the Jizhou City Army, who was known as the 'Cloud-Piercing Tiger'.

Although his arms and legs were wrapped in iron chains, seven or eight big men were holding swords at his neck, and there were at least thirty crossbows locked on him from the surrounding tall buildings, Wang Qi still roared and struggled.

"So what if I'm from the Imperial Court? I, Wang Qi, have never done anything illegal. How dare you arrest me?" Wang Qi looked at the man in red and shouted, "Zhou Liuyun, I recognize you. You are the new dean of the Jishan Academy. How come you are from the Imperial Court?"

The red-robed man Zhou Liuyun laughed a few times. He sat steadily on the chair and looked at Wang Qi who was kneeling in front of him. "What's so strange about that? My Tingwei Mansion is in charge of the judicial power of the Great Jin Dynasty and supervises the whole country, including civil and military officials and the common people. So what if I am a scholar of the Jishan Academy?"

Wang Qi gritted his teeth and looked fiercely at the ivory plate that Zhou Liuyun hung on his belt. [△网.]

This is the badge of the inspector of the Supreme Court of the Great Jin Dynasty. With this group of killers from the Supreme Court of Qizhou following him, Zhou Liuyun's identity must be real.

"I, Wang Qi, abide by the law!" Wang Qi said dryly with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Hmm?" Zhou Liuyun pointed at the three rough men and four rich men kneeling behind Wang Qi.

Wang Qi's teeth were clenched, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Although there are some partiality and corruption, it is just some money-related business. I borrowed the state army's baggage fleet to transport some goods for the shopkeepers and exempted some taxes. This is not a serious crime."

Taking a deep breath, Wang Qi's eyes rolled around. He racked his brains to recall the tax regulations in the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. After a while, he laughed dryly and said to Zhou Liuyun, "At most, I will be fined for three years, beaten with thirty military sticks, and then pay the taxes owed to the state treasury!"

Exhaling heavily, Wang Qi said in a dry voice: "This is not a serious crime, why do you need the Supreme Court to send people? It's scary!"

After laughing a few times, Wang Qi suddenly became very proud: "I remember now. Even if you want to investigate me for privately using the baggage fleet, damn it, this is also the business of the Duwei Mansion in Qizhou. It is not your turn to intervene!"

Zhou Liuyun's mouth twitched. He smiled at Wang Qi, who suddenly felt confident, and said calmly, "Just smuggling some goods and stealing some taxes is not something I should come to you for. I didn't come to you for these little things!"

Wang Qi suddenly burst into laughter, and the three ruffians and four rich men behind him all laughed.

Wang Qi raised his head and grinned, "Then, Academician Zhou, oh no, Supervisory Envoy Zhou, why don't you let me go? Today you broke into my house and killed my trusted followers. My Duwei Mansion will have a good discussion with your Tingwei Mansion about this matter!"

Zhou Liuyun smiled and waved his hand casually: "Behead him!"

Wang Qi shuddered, and the three ruffians behind him suddenly struggled hard.

But the people in the court of justice were all good fighters. They held the men in pairs, and another drew his sword and slashed them fiercely. Seven "dong dong dong" sounds were heard, and blood spurted from the necks and splashed all over Wang Qi's back. The seven guests he had invited to the banquet in the middle of the night were beheaded behind him.

"You!" Wang Qi looked at Zhou Liuyun in horror and anger: "You executed without teaching, you are a cruel official, I will sue you!"

"Killing without teaching is indeed the work of a cruel official. But as long as I have enough reasons, killing a few people is nothing." Zhou Liuyun slowly stood up, lowered his head to look at Wang Qi, whose face was flushed, and shouted coldly: "I only want to ask you one question. Eighteen years ago, you led the troops to wipe out the messengers of the remnants of the wilderness. There was a scroll of "The Blue Dragon Shedding its Shell". Did you hide it privately?"

“No!” Wang Qi shouted without hesitation: “What is “The Blue Dragon Shedding Its Shell”? I’ve never heard of it!”

"Behead his parents!" Zhou Liuyun shouted softly, and two old howls were heard from the yard nearby. Wang Qi's face suddenly turned pale.

"Where is the "Diagram of the Blue Dragon Shedding its Shell"? Or, have you already practiced it?" Zhou Liuyun stared at Wang Qi's eyes.

"No, I haven't heard of it!" Wang Qi's body shook and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Behead his wives and concubines!" Zhou Liuyun smiled slightly and swung the bronze mace casually.

More than a dozen delicate howls were heard, Wang Qi's body was shaking violently, and his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

"No, really not. The 'Diagram of the Blue Dragon Shedding its Shell' is said to be the supreme secret book of the survivors of the wilderness. How could a mere lieutenant of a state like me possibly get it?" Wang Qi was trembling all over, with veins bulging out from under his skin.

"Send some people. Captain Wang has seven daughters. Take turns!" Zhou Liuyun grinned and smiled at Wang Qi, "Leave the youngest one behind. I will take charge of her later!"

A dozen strong men in tight clothes laughed, put down their spears and walked towards the yard.

"Zhou Liuyun! You will not die well!" Wang Qi's eyes turned red, he screamed, and blood kept gushing out of his mouth.

"Don't worry, it's up to you to say it or not. I didn't expect that I would recognize you as my cheap father-in-law before I became Ling's son-in-law!" Zhou Liuyun smiled and patted Wang Qi's cheek with a bronze mace, and said softly: "By the way, you have seven daughters but only one son. Otherwise, I will send my cheap brother-in-law to the palace to be a eunuch? This year is a good day for the palace selection!"

Wang Qi’s teeth were clenched until they were broken. He suddenly raised his head and shouted, “The Blue Dragon Shedding its Shell is in the secret room under the rockery in my hunting manor outside the west gate. Zhou Liuyun, let my children go, otherwise…”

Zhou Liuyun grabbed the bronze mace and smashed Wang Qi's head into pieces with one blow.

He swung his mace backhand and blasted out, catching the captain of the Jizhou Tingwei Mansion, who had been standing respectfully behind Zhou Liuyun and was wearing iron armor, off guard and was also killed by the mace.

Arrows rained down from the surrounding tall buildings, and all the people from the Tingwei Mansion in the yard were killed cleanly by powerful bows and crossbows.

With a cold smile, Zhou Liuyun looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, there are ten ten-foot-long golden-scaled carps! We are in for a treat!" Mobile phone users please visit m.Read for a better reading experience.
