Chapter 246: A Show of Power



Shang Ruoyi smiled, and an extremely thin silver needle appeared on her fingertips. He Yuwen only felt his skin being pricked, and before he could react, he fainted.

Shang Ruoyi put away the silver needle and waved her arm, and He Yuwen's body disappeared on the bed.

She walked out of the room and said to the secret guards waiting at the door: "Open the door."

"Yes, the prince..."

"Prince? Where is the prince?" Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Remember, there has never been any prince in this mansion. This is just the residence of Master Lingjun. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

At this moment, there was a loud noise from behind the door. The gate of the government house was violently knocked open by the soldiers, and the bolt broke into two pieces.

The officers and soldiers were all holding a big knife. Then, several men came in. Behind them was Lord Zhang, whom Shang Ruoyi knew. At this time, he was following them closely.

"Hmph! Where are the people in the manor? Are they all dead? How dare you disobey the emperor's order!" The leading official said angrily, "I will definitely punish you!"

Compared to Situ Wen's furious face, Zhou Xiang next to him said nothing and just looked around with a gloomy look.

He had lived in the Dingguo Palace for a period of time and was very familiar with the terrain there. When he looked at everything here, he felt inexplicably familiar.

They had just taken a few steps when they heard a sound of breaking air.

“Whoosh!”

Before they could respond, they saw an arrow falling directly in front of them.

"My Lord, be careful!"

The officers and soldiers stood in front of Situ Wen and Zhou Xiang, looking around vigilantly.

"How dare you! How dare you shoot and kill an official appointed by the imperial court!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Ruoyi walked forward with an arrow in her hand, her eyes beneath the mask extremely cold.

"Who are you?"

Shang Ruoyi sneered, "I should be the one asking you this." She pulled her robe closer and said angrily, "Why are you knocking on someone else's door and yelling in the middle of the night? What's so important that you can't wait until tomorrow morning? Are you guys alive and well?"

Upon hearing this, Situ Wen strode forward, pointed at Shang Ruoyi and shouted, "How dare you, you rude person! How dare you say such rude words!"

"Oh, who do you think you are?" Shang Ruoyi looked at him and sneered, "You are just a weakling, and you have the nerve to yell here."

I don't know what words stimulated him. Situ Wen said to the servants around him: "Catch him! Catch him quickly!"

"How dare you!" Shang Ruoyi stepped forward: "Why did you arrest me? What have I done that is against the law?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "If you arrest people without reason, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Situ Wen was a typical person with a bad temper. Just when he was about to get angry, Zhou Xiang beside him said, "We are here to arrest the fugitives under the order of the court. Your courtyard is the key place that needs to be investigated." He looked at Shang Ruoyi's mask and felt that it was somewhat familiar. Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind.

“You are…”

After he finished speaking, Situ Wen said, "What's the point of talking to a lowly person? Don't delay the important business." They came here on the emperor's order. If they find He Yuwen, they will be the ones with their heads chopped off.

He waved his hand: "Search!"

As he made his move, dozens of soldiers rushed out from both sides. Shang Ruoyi's eyes turned cold, and she threw the stone in her hand at them with a mixture of internal force.

"How dare you, a mere official, search my courtyard? You must be tired of living."

The man in front of him was exactly the same as the one in his memory. Zhou Xiang stepped forward quickly and bowed, saying, "Excuse me, are you the Divine Doctor Lingjun?"

What? Miracle doctor?

Why does this name sound so familiar?

Situ Wen frowned slightly and asked, "Are you the miracle doctor who treated His Majesty and His Majesty before?"

"That's right." Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "You broke into my mansion without my permission. When I see the emperor and the queen in the future, I will ask you to decide who is right and who is wrong."

Situ Wen had been fighting in the battlefield for many years and was a rough man. When he heard her say this, he was not afraid at all, but became more aggressive: "Do you think I'm afraid if you bring up His Majesty and His Majesty? I'm telling you, I came here to search your house under the order of His Majesty. Today, whether you agree or not, I will thoroughly check your mansion!"

Seeing him like this, Zhou Xiang knew what to do and didn't say anything. Situ Wen was right. The emperor did ask them to look for He Yuwen's whereabouts, and the news they got was also near this manor, but there was no evidence pointing to this manor.

Now that Situ Wen wants to be the first to take action, why should I just stand by and watch?

If they really look for He Yuwen, they will have accomplished a great deed. If they look for him, they will offend the divine doctor Lingjun today, and he will be sued in front of His Majesty tomorrow, and he will not be involved.

"Since you want to investigate my mansion, there must be a reason!" Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice with a cold light in her eyes.

"I suspect you are shielding a wanted criminal of the imperial court, the former prince of Ding State, He Yuwen." Situ Wen said sternly, "If you shield a wanted criminal, you shall be punished with the same crime as him. Come! Arrest her for me!"

"Wait!" Shang Ruoyi said angrily, "My lord, is your brain filled with mercury? You want to punish me before you even catch Prince Dingguo. Do you remember the law? Do you think you have the final say in the military camp?" Shang Ruoyi looked at him, her expression full of sneer, "You want to do this in my mansion? It's unnecessary."

"You!" Situ Wen was furious. He waved his hand and pulled out the sword from his waist: "Tie her up! Tie her up!"

"Let's see who dares!" Shang Ruoyi moved her fingertips slightly, and a handful of silver needles shot out violently, each of which hit just an inch in front of the officers and soldiers' feet. Half of the silver needles were completely embedded in the blue bricks under their feet, showing how powerful the force was.

When everyone saw this, 놊You took a breath of cold air.

This, this strength is really too strong.

"General Situ, who do you think you are here?" Shang Ruoyi stepped forward. She was not wearing any weapons, but she was frightening. "You said you were ordered to search. I didn't stop you, but you want to arrest people here and deal with them at will." Shang Ruoyi sneered, "I see that your forehead is black, as if there is a blood disaster!"

Situ Wen stopped breathing heavily. At this moment, Zhou Xiang stepped forward, smiled and said, "Doctor Lingjun, please don't be surprised. General Situ has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so it is inevitable that he is angry. Please forgive me, Doctor."

"You're fighting on the battlefield like this? This is really ridiculous."

At this moment, the guard behind her brought a chair with a complete tiger skin on it, which looked extremely valuable. "Go ahead and search if you want. But let's be frank. The things in my house, especially the pills, are very valuable. If they are damaged or broken, you should think carefully about how to compensate me."
