Chapter 119
119 A case that the Ministry of Justice can’t solve, I’ll solve it _1
“Whoosh!”
The crossbow arrow broke through the air.
The middle-aged officer unsheathed his long saber and knocked away the incoming crossbow arrows. The hostility that he had developed in the Army suddenly surged up.
This little Gong actually dared to shoot an arrow at him. He deserved to be killed today. The night watchman had always been showing off his strength, so if he didn’t take revenge now, when would he?
The middle-aged officer raised his long saber and shouted, “”Trespassers of the Ministry of Justice, die!”
The clanging sounds continued as the soldiers pulled out their military sabers. Their expressions were solemn, as if they were ready to go to war.
Xu Qi ‘an reined in the horse’s reins and raised the horse’s hooves high. He took out the gold medal bestowed by the Emperor.”I’m here to investigate the case. You may leave.”
The middle-aged officer wasn’t afraid at all. He led his men to block the way.”The Ministry of Justice is also here to investigate the case, and unauthorized people are not allowed to approach.”
“Don’t make a mistake.” Xu Qi ‘an narrowed his eyes.
“It’s fine if you want to enter the Ministry of Justice, my Lord. Allow me to send someone to pass the message.” The middle-aged officer sent a guard to pass on the message.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, the guard never returned.
Min Shan pointed his knife at the other party and angrily said, “”Son of a b * tch, you’re toying with this great master.”
“Listen up, no one is allowed to enter the Yamen without the approval of the Minister of Justice. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy.” The middle-aged officer sneered.
“Yes.” The guards chuckled.
“The Ministry of Justice is trying to cut off this line. No matter how much trouble I make, I will drag it out. After a few days, they will have investigated everything that needs to be investigated and obtained what they should have. ‘Or if the clues are of no value, they’ll probably hand her over to me …’ ‘I’m a sinner, time is life …’ Xu Qi ‘an’s heart was filled with anger.
“If you insist on stopping me, then don’t blame me for using the privilege of the gold Medallion.” Xu Qi ‘an pressed on the handle of the knife.
“Act first and report later?” The middle-aged officer laughed hideously. His long saber was wrapped in a strong Qi. you’re just a Gong, and you’re in a hurry to kill people in front of the Ministry of Justice? ”
With a bright Flash of the Blade, Xu Qi ‘an and the middle-aged officer passed each other and stopped at the gate of the Ministry of Justice.
It wasn’t until this time that both sides reacted. Including the Watchmen, they didn’t expect Xu Qi ‘an to be so decisive.
Xu Qi ‘an held the knife in his right hand. He shook his wrist, and a line of blood appeared on the ground.
The middle-aged officer’s body swayed and he fell to the ground.
A soldier stepped forward to check and touched the officer’s neck. He cried out, “”He’s dead!”
This time, the faces of the night watchmen also changed.
The conflict was one thing. Even though everyone looked like they were going to fight, if they killed someone, the matter would escalate. The person they killed would be from the Ministry of Justice.
Even the most arrogant night watchman had never killed anyone in front of any of the Yamen of the six ministries.
Shua!
The soldiers turned around and faced Xu Qi ‘an. The atmosphere was like a powder keg that was about to explode.
This lousy technique was a real man for three seconds … It’s not enough to support me in a long battle. I’ll find a chance to change it in the future.
Enduring his fatigue, Xu Qi ‘an took out the gold medal and showed it to the crowd.”I’m here to investigate the case. Those who obstruct me will be killed without mercy!”
He glanced at the soldiers with a sharp gaze.
“Still not retreating!” He roared.
Under the double shock of the gold medal and the officer’s corpse, the soldiers retreated.
Xu Qi ‘an kept it in his sheath and led two silver gongs and twelve copper gongs into the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen.
Along the way, Yang Feng and Min Shan kept examining Xu Qi ‘an, as if they were getting to know him again.
Min Shan frowned and said,”aren’t you being too impulsive?” Aren’t you afraid of being held accountable for killing someone outside the Ministry of Justice’s gates?”
It was Xu Qi ‘an’s first time killing someone, but there was still hostility between his eyebrows. He looked at the bearded man and said,”Do I still have an afterthought?”
Min Shan was stunned.
Xu Qi ‘an sneered. I’m already in a desperate situation. To me, progress is life. Clues are life. Whoever dares to block my investigation will be taking my life.
“The Ministry of Justice and the Yamen have always been at odds with each other. If the government officials continue to steal my credit, these people will be obstacles in my way. If I’m not ruthless, there will be a second, third, and fourth person who will jump out to stop me. If I don’t kill them, they will kill me indirectly.
“I’ve killed one blind person today, and tomorrow, the other blind people will be wary and afraid. This is also a way to reduce the number of people killed.”
As Xu Qi ‘an spoke, he glanced at Yang Feng and Min Shan, the two silver gongs, and put on a fake smile.”Even the two subordinates of yang Jinluo doubted my abilities, much less the government and the Ministry of Justice?”
His words were very clear. He was establishing his might.
“Lord Xu, we’ve underestimated you,” the two silver gongs, yang and min, laughed.
This “Lord Xu” was truly sincere. He was not forced by the emperor’s order.
The Ministry of Justice’s Yamen was very large. Xu Qi ‘an caught an official to lead the way.
The clerk was weak and a little afraid of this group of fierce Watchmen. He didn’t dare to disobey and led them to the meeting hall.
After passing through the courtyard, they arrived at the Council Chamber of the Ministry of Justice. It was a spacious hall with no tables, only chairs, which were neatly arranged.
The two Yamen’s people sat on two sides, clearly separated.
On the left were the officials of the Ministry of Justice, led by a second-rank Minister of Justice in a red robe and embroidered chicken.
On the right was a fourth-rank capital Governor, magistrate Chen, who was wearing a red robe embroidered with clouds and geese.
In the middle sat a eunuch wearing a tall hat and a Python robe. His face was white and beardless, and his eyes were squinted, giving off a strange aura.
There were two eunuchs standing beside the eunuch.
At the door, the clerk was like a little quail. He said in a trembling voice, “”M-my Lords … The night watchman is here …”
In the meeting hall, more than a dozen powerful officials looked over at the same time.
