I have a role in the heavens

Xu Zisheng finally made a move, and simply took a step back. The sword energy and sharp blade fell against the tip of his nose, and Xu Zisheng opened his mouth and shouted.

"Zhu Yang openly resisted the Ministry of Justice's law enforcement and attacked the imperial officials. He should be punished!"

"Thunder comes!"

As soon as the words fell, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the wind and clouds gathered, the silver snake shone in the lead clouds, there was a loud click, the silver snake flew, struck down suddenly, and landed on the top of Zhu Yang's head, the electric light shone, extremely dazzling, a The charred corpse fell to the ground, and the sword in his hand shattered and scattered all over the ground.

"Don't overestimate your capabilities!"

Xu Zisheng looked down at Zhu Yang's body and spat with extreme disdain. When he saw Zhu Yang for the first time, he noticed that Zhu Yang was unruly, domineering, arrogant and could never be humiliated, so he deliberately scolded Zhu Yang. , did not give him any favor, and later deliberately did not care about Zhu Chengzhu's life and death in front of him, Zhu Yang would inevitably be angered, lose his mind, and resist law enforcement.

"If you kill the snake, you will have endless troubles. How can I allow you to live in this world!"

In Haoqi Pavilion, Wei Yuan was sitting on the Grand Master's chair with a solemn look on his face, his eyes were deep and thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Yang Yan looked up at his adoptive father, with surprise on his serious face, and asked softly.

"Father, are we going to let the Ministry of Punishment take Zhu Chengzhu away like this?"

"Will it chill Zhu Yang's heart?!"

Although Yang Yan and Zhu Yang had just had a heated argument, they still took the overall situation into consideration and were unanimous in dealing with the outside world. If the Ministry of Punishment were to take away a Yinluo who was the watchman today, it would definitely damage the majesty of the watchman's Yamen. It is possible for officials to no longer be afraid.

"Zhu Chengzhu knew that the law was against the law, he was arrogant and domineering, but he didn't take the law into consideration. He deserves to die!"

"Xu Zisheng follows the rules and regulations, and there is nothing I can do about it!"

Wei Yuan's heart was originally inclined to Xu Qi'an, but now that the Ministry of Punishment has intervened, it can be regarded as solving a hot potato for him. Naturally, he is happy to go along with the situation and get rid of the trouble. As for Zhu Yang, although he is one of the top ten golden gongs for the watchman, Regardless of Wei Yuan's concern, as long as he is around, Zhu Yang will bow his head and obey orders and will never dare to disobey him. This is Wei Yuan's confidence and majesty.

Wei Yuan didn't care about Zhu Chengzhu's matter, it was just a trivial matter. What he cared about more was Xu Zisheng's strong strength, he murmured to himself.

"He should be the cause of the abnormality that day. At such a young age, he has already entered the realm of a second-grade scholar. He is no weaker than me. It is true that a new generation has replaced the old one. Xu Shijun has given birth to a good son!"

"When you give birth to a son, you should be like a holy son. This is indeed true!"

Wei Yuan said with great emotion, with a hint of admiration on his face. Before it faded, he stood up suddenly, two rays of light shot out from his eyes, and looked towards the vestibule of the Yamen. He took a step forward and was about to take action. But he suddenly stopped and sighed.

"What a plan. Zhu Yang is so impatient and so stupid that he dares to openly resist the Ministry of Criminal Justice's law enforcement!"

"Even if I take action, what's the use? Zhu Yang will die in the end!"

Yang Yan was a little confused and was about to ask a question when suddenly there was a loud thunder, which made him turn around suddenly. He took a few steps to the window and looked towards the vestibule. He happened to see a bolt of thunder falling, killing Zhu Yang and leaving him stunned. on the spot.

"This is Haoran's righteousness, and he follows the law!"

"Xu Zisheng is actually a fourth-grade gentleman!"

"No, you underestimate Xu Zisheng too much. He is already a second-grade scholar. Even I dare not say that I can defeat him!"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, if Xu Zisheng's cultivation had not been tyrannical, even if the Ministry of Punishment acted according to the rules, it would not have been possible to take away a silver gong from the watchman organization in front of Wei Yuan. Strength was the reason for Wei Yuan's regression. Everything else is trivial and not worth mentioning.

"How is this possible, a second-grade Confucian? He is only a young man. Even if he practiced Confucianism from his mother's womb, he would not be able to advance so quickly!"

Yang Yan's defense was completely broken, his serious face was full of disbelief, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wei Yuan with doubt.

Wei Yuan sighed, stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the figure below. He was dressed in dustless white clothes, ethereal and refined, with a grace and grace that few others could match, and said lightly.

"You are talking about ordinary people. Xu Zisheng is a genius, a Confucian and Taoist genius. Even a saint of the same age cannot compare to him!"

Xu Zisheng sensed the gaze from above Haoqi Tower, raised his head, and grinned, his teeth white and brilliant. Wei Yuan's every move, word and deed were all in his perception. He knew Wei Yuan's depth, but Wei Yuan didn't know his strengths and weaknesses, so he lost a lot.

"Second-grade scholar? I have entered the realm of first-grade sub-sage!"

Xu Zisheng put his palm into his sleeve, and a book fell into his palm. It was filled with awe-inspiring righteousness and exuded a shining light, but it was hidden under his clothes. This was the treasure of his Taoism, a sacred instrument of Confucianism and Taoism, recorded After understanding what he learned from Confucianism and Taoism, he could suppress luck and seal the law.

Xu Zisheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhu Chengzhu lying on the ground. Just when Zhu Yang suddenly made a move, the two officials from the Criminal Department were frightened and threw Zhu Chengzhu to the ground.

"See if he's dead. If he's dead, just stay here and we'll save some energy!"

When the two government officials heard this, they quickly squatted down, put their fingers between Zhu Chengzhu's nose, felt it for a while, and then replied.

"Lord Qi, the prisoner has expired!"

"He was really given an advantage. He actually left a whole body! Leave it here and let's go!"

Xu Zisheng walked out of the watchman's yamen without looking back, followed closely by the two yamen servants. After they left, countless figures from the watchman's yamen came here, looking at the dead Zhu Yang and his son on the ground with complicated expressions. , let out a sigh, and finally disappeared one by one.

Wei Yuan stood in front of the window, looking down at the courtyard, his expression calm, and he spoke gently.

"Have someone collect the bodies of Zhu Yang and his son and find a place to bury them!"

"Yes, foster father!"

Although Yang Yan was at odds with Zhu Yang, he was filled with grief when he saw this scene. He responded with a heavy expression, turned around and went downstairs, instructing his subordinates to handle the posthumous affairs of Zhu Yang and his son!

Xu Qian, wearing prison uniform, was sitting in the prison cell of the watchman's office, with his back against the wall, smelling the unique damp and putrid smell in the cell.

"I have entered the palace for the third time. I was a policeman in my previous life, and I have become a frequent visitor to the jail in this life."

Xu Qian smiled self-deprecatingly and lamented the uncertainty of fate. The cell was silent, except for the occasional curse words from the prisoners next door. Most people usually remained silent.

Most of the prisoners held here are on death row and are disheartened. At the beginning, he would still yell about injustice and curse his mother. After being taken out by the jailer guarding the cell to have a friendly conversation, he learned how to be a good person and how to keep quiet in public. No one wants to suffer inhumane torture before death.

Xu Qian closed his eyes, thinking about whether he still had a chance to survive.

"The great scholars from Yunlu Academy may come to make a fuss, but they are white-bodied people without official positions. It won't work for them to be official. Using force won't work either. After all, this is a watchdog yamen, and Wei Yuan is in charge!"

"Si Tianjian's warlocks will definitely try to save me, but unless Jian Zheng comes forward, they can't save me. And for Jian Zheng to come forward, my identity is not enough!"

"Xu Qi'an, Xu Qi'an, you are so impulsive. Have you forgotten that this is a feudal dynasty without human rights?"

Xu Qi'an slapped himself twice angrily, with only annoyance on his face, but no regrets. He had the spirit of a warrior and the edge of a man in his heart. After seeing such a scene, if he could endure it, he would really look down on himself.

"The fragments of the Book of the Earth have also been taken away. Otherwise, I can try to ask No. 1 to rescue me. Is her status high enough?"

After thinking about it, Xu Qi'an fell asleep. When he woke up, the cell was silent and the dark night was outside the small window. Sleep made up for the vitality energy he consumed by performing the Heaven and Earth Slash, and he was hungry.

By the dim light of the oil lamp in the passage, Xu Qi'an saw a bowl of white rice placed by the fence, and two fat-headed and big-eared mice, eating with gusto.

"Fuck, that stupid Jerry actually dares to steal my meal."

Xu Qian cursed angrily and had no choice but to sit cross-legged and meditate, exhaling Qi.

I don't know how long it took, but it was dawn. The sound of footsteps came from the dark passage. Two jailers came over and opened the door of the cell. Xu Qian opened his eyes.

"come out."

The jailer shouted, and Xu Qian, who was handcuffed and shackled, was taken to the torture room by the jailer. Beams of sunlight penetrated through the air holes in the wall, dispelling the darkness of the torture chamber, but they could not dispel the coldness here.

Two young men were sitting at the interrogation table in the torture room. One person has red phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and exquisite facial features. The other man has red lips and white teeth, and is extremely handsome.

Two rabbits walking next to each other can tell whether I am male or female. Nangong Qianrou didn't like Xu New Year's attitude very much. From the moment she entered the Yamen, she always held her head and chest high, looking at people with her nose instead of her eyes, and sneered.

"Youtou noodle."

Nangong Qianrou, who has Xu New Year's unreasonable arrogance, is annoying. She has the same virtues as the other scholars at Yunlu Academy and the same virtues as Si Tianjian's white clothes.

Xu Xinyin tilted his head at the golden gong. Wei Yuan's adopted son glanced at him and said calmly.

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise."

"Who do you think is a woman?"

Nangong Qianrou smiled, with a dangerous light shining in her eyes.

"I'm being rude."

"Dare you ask the girl her name?"

Xu New Year is indeed the boy with a vicious tongue that Xu Qi'an considers. He can make people go berserk when he opens his mouth. Nangong Qianrou is obviously a man, but he just looks like a girl. What he hates the most is being called a woman.

Nangong Qianrou wanted to kill someone. Xu New Year, who was full of poisonous tongue skills, sneered and raised his head again.

Xu Qian, who saw this scene at the door and heard the conversation between the two, gave his little brother a cold sweat.

"My silly cousin, please take it easy. This great beauty you are talking about is a high-quality martial artist. You, an eighth-grade scholar, must know how to bend and stretch."

Nangong Qianrou was furious, but she didn't dare to kill the disciple of the great scholar Zhang Shen. She turned her head slightly and glared at Xu Qian fiercely. She stood up and said, "out of sight is out of mind."

"One stick of incense time."

Xu New Year stared at his cousin and remained silent.

"Why are you here? Aren't you studying in an academy?"

"One of your colleagues sent a letter to the house last night, telling you what happened. My father left the capital overnight and rushed to Yunlu Academy to inform me."

Xu New Year exhaled a breath, feeling helpless for his cousin who was often in jail, and continued.

"I went back home last night. I waited until dawn and the inner city gate opened before I came in."

This time, Xu New Year got a souvenir from his teacher Zhang Shen and had the status of a juren, so he was allowed to visit the prison.

"Everyone in the family is very worried about you. Mom didn't sleep all night."

"Zingyin is also worried about you. She only had a bowl of porridge in the morning."

"It's hard for her."

Xu Qi'an knew this little girl's temperament best. The world was huge and she had the biggest meal. She only had a bowl of porridge this morning, but it was very rare. It was not in vain that he loved her.

Xu New Year nodded, agreed with his cousin, and continued.

"The teacher's suggestion is for me to ask the eldest princess, she may be able to save you. As for the teacher and the others, Wei Yuan's relationship with the academy is not good."

"But when I came here, I heard from your colleagues that Mr. Xu Zisheng brought people from the Criminal Department to the Dagengren Yamen and wanted to take away the silver gong Zhu Chengzhu. Someone accused him of insulting a common woman and he should be beheaded!"

"Jinluo Zhu Yang openly resisted the law enforcement of the Ministry of Justice and was shot dead on the spot. Zhu Chengzhu also died. Mr. Xu thought that you acted bravely and was willing to report to His Majesty to ask for credit for you, so you should not die!"

Xu New Year has experienced many things and has grown up. He first asked Xu Qi'an's colleagues for information, but he did not expect to learn such an unexpected surprise.

Xu Qi'an was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xu Zisheng would actually come to the rescue. This is really his noble person. If he were a woman, he would be moved to give her life at this moment. It's a pity that he doesn't like the difficulty and can only wait. I will look for opportunities to repay the life-saving grace in the future.

"Wei Gong didn't object?"

Xu Qi'an knew something about Wei Yuan. He seemed gentle, but in fact he was most arrogant and domineering. Otherwise, he would not be able to suppress the civil and military forces of the dynasty. He became the emperor's most trusted person and served as the watchman commander.

"I heard that after a heated exchange between the two, Duke Wei allowed the Ministry of Punishment to take Zhu Chengzhu away!"

Xu New Year didn't understand the secret either, and only learned the news from other Tongluo's mouths.

"Xu Zisheng is indeed the first person of the younger generation. He dares to compete with Duke Wei without falling behind. It seems that everyone in the world underestimates him!"

Xu Qian'an was thoughtful and knew that Wei Yuan must not have the upper hand, otherwise he would never have allowed the Ministry of Punishment to take away a silver gong from the watchman.

"It seems like my life is safe, but I don't know when Duke Wei will let me go?"

Xu Qi'an frowned slightly, stared hard, thought of a way, and asked his cousin.

"Did you come to bring money this time?"

"Of course I brought it."

Xu New Year had a lot of experience in visiting prisons. He didn't bring any money to visit any prison, so he brought a lot of money with him to use it to manage things in the prison.

"You go to the prison chief and tell him that you want to take back one of my items, if it's still there. It's a small jade mirror. You take the mirror and go to the health hall in Dongcheng to find a monk and ask him to help spread the word. No. 3 is imprisoned in the watchman's dungeon, asking for help. Xu Qian!"

Xu Qian had vaguely guessed the identity of No. 1 in the Book of Earth, so he wanted Monk No. 6, Hengyuan, to send a message to No. 1 in the Book of Earth. Of all the people in the Tiandihui, No. 1 was the only one who was in the capital and had a respected status, so he should He can be rescued.

Xu New Year left the torture room, found the prison head, handed over thirty taels of silver notes dignifiedly, and said in a deep voice.

"I need to retrieve an item that belongs to my cousin."

Of course the prison chief had no problem with it. If you have money, anything can be done easily. He immediately led Xu New Year to the warehouse and took out a package containing the things that Xu Qi'an had stripped off his body.

Xu Xinyin briefly explored and touched a small mirror made of jade, with strange patterns outlined by shallow lines on the mirror surface.

Xu New Year did not go directly to the Yangshengtang. Instead, he went to the Imperial City first and visited Her Royal Highness the Princess, hoping that she could come to the rescue.

"My cousin is in great danger. Please help the eldest princess."

The eldest princess paused for a moment, and asked with a look of surprise on her beautiful and beautiful face.

"what happen?"

Xu Xinnian told the whole story of what happened, including the time when Xu Zisheng made a scene and killed Zhu Yang, without missing a single trace.

"My cousin does things impulsively, but he is sincere. If he didn't take action, the poor child would have been humiliated by Zhu Yinluo."

"Righteousness lies in not favoring power and disregarding its benefits. Although my cousin is not a scholar, this Chicheng is enough to awe the scholars of our generation."

"Master Xu from the Criminal Department also thinks that my cousin has acted bravely and deserves to be commended!"

May I experience so many things in the new year and grow up, quote a classic sentence. I want to resonate with the eldest princess. After all, the eldest princess is also half a scholar.

The eldest princess looked calm, with a trace of fluctuation in the depths of her eyes. Thoughts were swirling in her mind. She did not expect that Xu Zisheng would actually stand up for Xu Qi'an, lead people to break into the watchman organization, kill Zhu Yang and his son, and even offend Wei Yuan. , it was really not worth the loss, which made her feel puzzled.

"The result of Wei Gong's punishment?"

The eldest princess pondered for a moment, looked at Xu New Year again, and asked curiously.

"No news!"

Wei Yuan's reaction made Xu Xinnian confused. It was just hanging like this without any punishment, which was worrying.

The eldest princess was silent. Her cold face made it difficult to see through her heart. This princess was not a soft-hearted woman. She was very independent and even a little domineering at times. Such a person had her own ideas in doing things.

"This is the handwriting of the teacher, Mubai Daru, and Youping Daru. Please help the eldest princess."

Xu Cijiu planned to use his trump card. He took out the handwriting signed by three great scholars from his sleeve.

"Clang!"

Along with the handwriting, there was also a small jade mirror. Xu New Year calmly picked it up, put away the small mirror, and handed over the handwritten letter.

The eldest princess's starry eyes narrowed and her gaze stayed on the jade mirror for a moment, then she opened the handwritten book and read it before speaking.

"I understand that the watchman's office is affiliated to the royal family and only takes orders from my father. I can only do my best."

Xu New Year took a deep breath, bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, Princess!"

The palace maid sent Xu New Year and his party away. When they returned, the eldest princess looked solemn and gave instructions.

"Send someone to the watchman's office to interrogate Duke Wei and find out the conflict between Xu Qian'an, the bronze gong, and Zhu Chengzhu, the silver gong."

"yes!"

The palace maid bowed her head to accept the order, turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly a hesitant voice stopped her steps again.

"Let me find out again why Xu Zisheng went to the watchman's office to take away the silver gong Zhu Chengzhu. What is his relationship with Xu Qian?"

"yes!"

The palace maid did not leave immediately this time. She looked at the eldest princess and saw that she had no other instructions before exiting.

"Fragments of the book from the ground, could it be that the 6th is the New Year's Eve?"

The eldest princess recalled the small jade mirror she had just seen, her expression moved slightly, and she murmured to herself.
