Chapter 850: Chapter 84 Wuxin’s Action (6000 Words 2-in-1)_3
One of the n had his table flipped over, still unable to believe it, he was first dumbfounded, then imdiately furious, wanting to argue with the constable, angrily said:
“re Martial Soldier, how dare you do this.”
“My uncle is Wang Zhongyi, an official in Liangzhou City, holding a proper Seventh Rank…”
“Damn you, little brat!”
Imdiately, a Martial Soldier grinned viciously, approached and slapped the young master so hard that stars danced before his eyes; another slap directly knocked him to the ground, speechless, feeling dazed, then he was pulled up, had his wrists tied with a rope, and was taken out.
These small gambling dens were extrely concealed, yet inside there were hidden realms, along with so strong ruffians serving as guards. The surrounding populace had long suffered from them. At present, they were all delighted to see the outco, blocking the sides to watch, treating it as a spectacle.
The young master continued shouting loudly, unexpectedly from the crowd, an old lady with trembling hands threw a rotten egg into his mouth. As his upper teeth t his lower, a fishy odor imdiately filled his mouth, rendering him speechless for a long ti.
The arrest officer glanced upward, seeing his tear-filled eyes, as he was fuming with anger, mouth twitching. Unable to resist, the officer kicked him in the butt, cursing:
“Hurry up.”
“Damn coward, bad luck!”
……
Wuxin’s eyes were sowhat profound, browsing through the dossiers about the entire State City in his hands, his fingers lightly tapping on one of the pages, then he closed the volu deep in thought.
The distant noise from outside, the sounds of Martial Soldiers’ operation, faintly reached him.
He placed great importance on the intelligence provided by Wang Anfeng, believing that as long as he could identify the real identity of that unfortunate gambler within this period, he could roughly determine the action range of that elder and youth, then unravel the threads and relentlessly squeeze.
The opponent would inevitably reveal a flaw.
This was the Imperial Court’s crushing of Jianghu Martial Artists on another level.
The entire city’s Ministry of Punishnt system, even all the officials, were under Wuxin’s intense pressure, twisted into a single rope, beginning a thorough investigation with terrifying efficiency.
The most obvious was that all the gambling dens in the city dared not breathe loudly due to this sudden action, only feeling fear and trepidation.
At this ti, a young man approached the front of the Ministry’s prison, although wearing Vermilion Clothes and carrying a Great Qin Waist Saber, he appeared quite handso, unlike a governnt official soldier dealing with blood and the underworld, and he even seed a bit shy.
The two Martial Soldiers guarding the prison’s front were obviously quite familiar with this young man, the robust man on the left greeted him with a smile:
“Xiaoyu, I heard you’ve pulled eighteen runs today, yet you can still walk here?”
The other couldn’t help but tease:
“Seeing your look, pulling eighteen runs, could it be you overburdened yourself on a woman’s belly? Young man, heed an elder brother’s advice, exercise so restraint, or you’ll suffer in the future.”
Then the two exchanged a glance and laughed heartily.
The young man seed a bit uncomfortable with such banter, by quiet smiling, then slowly walked forward, when within three or five steps, the left Martial Soldier suddenly raised his saber, sternly said:
“Halt!”
“Lord Wuxin’s orders, these days, without his warrant, do not approach, or else be held accountable.”
Zhang Xiaoyu finally spoke, “Brother Zhang, no need to scare like this, we all work under the Ministry of Punishnt, frequently eting, I’m just taking two steps forward, would you really chop my head off with a blade?”
The Martial Soldier put away his saber, looking sowhat awkward, said:
“Uh, this… we’re all brothers making a living together, not worth it.”
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled, “But as for speaking of it, I’m indeed here on behalf of soone else, but both brothers need not worry, the one who entrusted is precisely the lady of our Liangzhou City’s Prefect.”
“Seeing as I’m a fellow countryman with her household steward, they sent here to see if this Lord has any disciples or teachers, pull so strings, even if the identity cannot be saved, at least take him out of this prison. Otherwise, a dignified Fifth Rank local official, locked with gambling addicted thieves, what a disgrace?”
The two Martial Soldiers exchanged glances and nodded, believing this reason to indeed be plausible, and even within Great Qin’s penal code, there’s a ‘redeem sentence’ precedent, where if those big families committed cris, as long as it’s not among the ten unpardonable ones, they can use Gold and Silver, Secret Manuals, Armor and Weaponry to offset the punishnt early.
At this mont they hesitated slightly.
Zhang Xiaoyu took another step forward, seeing no aggressive action from the two Martial Soldiers, felt slightly relieved, again persuading:
“That Lord Wuxin, although his status is extraordinary, is after all only a Capital official. Once the case is solved, he must return to the Capital City for debriefing. But the lady’s household is our Liangzhou City’s honored family; no matter how powerful an outsider dragon is, how can it suppress the local python?”
“Both brothers are Liangzhou City locals, living here for generations. For the sake of a famous arrest officer fleeing with achievents, to offend the local big figure, wouldn’t that be too unwise?”
“This…”
The two hardened soldiers hesitated upon hearing this.
Zhang Xiaoyu seized the opportunity, throwing out a trump card, said: “The lady promised, if this succeeds, she would help the two brothers find a new way of making a living, so that you don’t have to work under the Ministry of Punishnt, no more seeing the famous arrest officer’s face.”
This finally broke through the heart defenses of the two iron-clad soldiers, they exchanged a glance, opened the gate, allowing Zhang Xiaoyu to enter alone quietly, urging him to be sure to co out within half a tea’s ti, to which Zhang Xiaoyu naturally agreed.
