Chapter 1492: Xia Hou’s First Fire Chapter 1492: Xia Hou’s First Fire ” Qinglin, you’re so mean.
We’re family now, but you didn’t tell us about such an important matter in advance!”
Zhang Ronghua looked apologetic.
He took the teapot and poured three cups of tea.” Substitute tea for wine.
I apologize!”
“That’s more like it.” Huo Jingyun smiled.
He drank it all in one go.
“Go back and tell Uncle Huo and the others to wait patiently,” said Zhang Ronghua.
“Good!” Huo Jingyun agreed.
…
He asked again.
“Uncle Pei needs our help?”
” I’m ready.” Zhang Ronghua shook his head.” Just wait patiently.”
Huo Jingyun’s heart was finally at ease after receiving the assurance.
Zhang Yuanxiao retracted the barrier.
Huo Jingyun and Ding Yi got out of the car.
Huo Shouguo and the others were still waiting for them.
The Heaven Secrets Carriage continued to move forward, rushing towards the Bai Manor.
Over here.
Tie Changlin was here.
He knew that Lord Marquis would come and had specially waited here.
Zhang Ronghua’s expression was very cold.
He entered the bedroom without saying a word.
On the bed.
Bai Junyi had already been treated by a doctor.
His entire body was wrapped in gauze, and no blood was flowing out.
He lay there with his eyes closed, and his breathing was weak.
He was still unconscious.
He stood by the bed.
Zhang Ronghua’s gaze pierced through the gauze and landed on his body.
The wound was shocking.
There were whips and branding iron left behind.
Even a young man might not be able to withstand it, let alone an old man.
It was a miracle that he had survived until now.
The chill spread, affecting the temperature and causing it to drop.
“Are they the same?”
” It’s all the same,” Tie Changlin said.” He was just locked up in the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
Dou Jiande personally interrogated him and tortured him to death.”
“Get ready to write it down,” Zhang Ronghua instructed.
Bai Huaiyu, the grandson of Bai Junyi, hurriedly ordered the butler to bring a brush and ink.
Zhang Ronghua gave a prescription.
There were a total of twenty-one herbs, all of which were ordinary herbs.
He then said,” Order someone to get the medicine.
Take it three times a day.
It will recover within seven days.”
“Yes, sir!” Bai Huaiyu replied.
He handed the prescription to the butler and asked him to do it immediately.
“Where’s Dou Jiande?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
Tie Changlin continued.” When Li Daoran and the others were about to arrest him, Wan Zhaoyang’s men arrived.
Soon after, Grand Secretary Cui’s men from the Supreme Court and the Imperial Censorate arrived.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
No one was able to take him away.”
He thought about it for a moment.
“Ma Liang, Imperial Censorate Han Zhenggang, and Yi Yiteng from the Supreme Court?” Zhang Ronghua’s eyes gleamed coldly.
” Han Zhenggang fell sick in the afternoon and took sick leave.
He’s recuperating at home.
Someone else came forward.”
Zhang Ronghua nodded.
This man was from He Wenxuan’s hometown.
When he was working in the Imperial Censorate, he had done his best and did his job well.
The two factions clashed and chose not to help each other.
No matter how others looked at him or criticized him, at least he had a clear conscience!
“Did you get the evidence?” Zhang Ronghua asked again.
“We’re still investigating.”Tie Changlin shook his head.
A bailiff rushed in from outside.
His forehead was covered in sweat, and his uniform was soaked.
He did not bother to wipe it off and quickly reported,” Lord Marquis, Wan Zhaoyang has brought men over.
They want to take Dou Jiande away by force.”
Zhang Ronghua sneered.
He had gone down from a second-grade official?
This confrontation was getting more and more interesting.
After Bai Junyi and the others woke up, he told Bai Huaiyu to tell them to recuperate in peace.
They did not have to worry about the rest.
After leaving the Bai Manor, he rushed to the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
..
The huge hall was very crowded at this moment.
It was filled with people.
The jailer stood at the outermost edge like a grandson.
He lowered his head and did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid of offending these important figures present.
Zhang Ronghua’s faction led by Li Daoran was confronting Grand Secretary Cui’s faction led by Ma Liang.
The atmosphere was tense, and the smell of gunpowder was thick.
They could fight at any time.
Looking at Dou Jiande and the group of jailers who were interrogating him, their hands and feet were chained.
Both sides wanted to take him away, but they could not.
The sound of footsteps could be heard from outside.
Upon hearing the commotion, both parties subconsciously looked in the direction of the door.
Wan Chaoyang was walking in front with a group of people.
As soon as they arrived, Ma Liang and the others temporarily heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, they looked at Li Daoran and the others with smug expressions.
They had won the first round!
When he was close.
Wan Chaoyang’s official prestige was very strong.
His powerful aura was displayed vividly.
He suppressed Li Daoran, Jin Yaoguang, Lu Jiayi, and the others without holding back.
He felt his breathing become heavy, as if he was carrying two mountains on his shoulders.
He said domineeringly,” This is the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
It’s not under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Censorate or the Supreme Court.
If you want to arrest someone, you have to show Dou Jiande’s evidence.
Without any conclusive evidence, you want to take him away.
Who gave you the right?”
Li Daoran retorted,” Dou Jiande slandered Bai Junyi and the others as people trained by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Evil Ghost Sect.
He forcefully captured them and even interrogated them.
He abused his power and the evidence is conclusive.
All of them must be taken away for investigation!”
“Are you doubting me?”Wan Zhaoyang scolded.
“I will state the facts!”
“You don’t have to worry about this matter.
If you have any objections, you can raise them in the imperial court tomorrow.”
Wan Zhaoyang changed the topic and pressured him again.
“Take your people and leave!”
Li Daoran and the others ‘expressions were very ugly.
On someone else’s home ground, the other party was still a level higher than them.
They were at an absolute disadvantage in a confrontation.
“Do you still need me to ask you to leave?” Wan Zhaoyang pressed on.
The word “please” was very heavy!
Ma Liang raised his hand.
The surrounding jailers were unwilling, but the supervisor had already spoken.
They braced themselves and surrounded him, ready to chase him away.
Li Daoran gritted his teeth tightly.
Their people had suffered such great grievances, and if they left just like that, they would completely lose face.
Losing their face was a small matter, but implicating Lord Marquis was a big matter.
“Attack!” Ma Liang was very pleased with himself.
The jailer stepped forward and forcefully chased them away.
A cold and domineering voice rang out from outside.
“When did the Ministry of Justice have such great power?”
Li Daoran and the others ‘eyes lit up.
Their spirits changed, and they became more confident.
They no longer felt that Wan Zhaoyang was that terrifying.
The jailers stopped in time.
They were all smart people.
They knew that another big shot was coming.
They did not dare to get involved in the fight between immortals and silently retreated.
Zhang Ronghua led Tie Changlin and the others into the hall from the outside.
With a glance, he understood the situation in front of him.
He stopped a step away from Wan Zhaoyang and stood there casually.
He was not angry, but he was imposing.
The huge official aura suppressed the entire scene.
Even Wan Zhaoyang’s aura was weaker.
He could not compare at all, nor could he resist.
His eyes were like the embodiment of power, containing supreme majesty.
“Answer me!” Zhang Ronghua ordered.
The other party’s pressure was very heavy and sharp.
Even Wan Zhaoyang himself couldn’t resist it.
He suppressed the panic in his heart and deliberately increased the volume of his words to cheer him on.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t do it, but when Xia Hou was angry, he seemed to have changed into another person.
Especially his eyes, which targeted his mind and soul, forcing others to submit.
However, he was the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice after all.
Both sides had the same rank of civil officials, so he still had some skills.” If you want to take Dou Jiande away, show me the evidence.
I won’t question you!”
“Let me ask you, when Dou Jiande captured Bai Junyi and the others, did he show any evidence?”
Wan Zhaoyang was furious.
No matter how he answered, he would fall into the other party’s trap.
He could lie through his teeth.
He could show them the evidence that Bai Junyi and his son were spies of the Evil Ghost Sect.
If they didn’t, they could also arrest them based on their gossip.
His thoughts turned quickly as he thought of a countermeasure.
“As the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, you have a high position of power.
Are you going to cover for them?” Zhang Ronghua’s cold voice sounded again.
“Xia Hou!” Wan Zhaoyang shouted angrily.
“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.”
He said again.
” You are the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Punishment is not within the scope of your authority.
Now that you have brought people to the Ministry of Justice’s prison and questioned me about my handling of the case, you have seriously overstepped your boundaries.
I will definitely have you reported to the court tomorrow!”
Zhang Ronghua looked at him as if he was a clown.
He patted the Five Dragons Spirit Controlling Belt on his waist and took out the True Dragon Token.
He injected some Heaven Devouring Internal Strength into it.
Tens of thousands of rays of golden light bloomed as the five-clawed golden dragon rushed out.
Bathed in golden light, it circled and danced.
Seeing this, everyone present hurriedly bowed.
Wan Zhaoyang was the same.
He cursed in his heart.
How could he have forgotten about this?
This time, he could no longer use the name of “overstepping”to force the other party to retreat.
He put away the True Dragon Token.
“I’m not only the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but also the general of the ZhongTian camp.
I’m also a special envoy.
As long as it’s related to the sect or the Holy Land, I can participate in anything.”
Wan Zhaoyang hated Dou Jiande to death.
He could have used any crime to arrest him, but he had to use the Six Paths of Reincarnation as a spy.
Wasn’t this clearly asking the other party to mobilize the True Dragon Palace and the Scarlet Heaven Palace to participate in this matter?
