Chapter 196: Battle of Relics
Chapter 196 The Battle of the Relics
Chu Nanzhi was terrified, and everyone present was dumbfounded.
Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinxiao, who had a cold face, in fear. He never thought that this guy was more vicious than himself, and he acted so decisively. He was underestimated before.
Caught off guard, he killed one and injured another, which made things worse.
Still in fear, Lin Jinxiao inserted the sharp sword into the scabbard with a calm expression, gently lifted the sword, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty gave me the Son of Heaven Sword to protect the members of the Lin Clan. Seeing the sword is like seeing the emperor. I behead the faint-hearted and the officials. I have the right to behead first and then play. Today, the father and son of the Qi family are bullying others, insulting my wife first, and disrespecting the superior later. I violated the dignity of the royal family, and I acted on behalf of the heavens, beheading the faint county captain, who would not accept it?"
The group of yamen servants around the periphery who were ready to move held sabers in their hands and were about to step forward, but when they heard that it was the Tianzi Sword, they immediately felt afraid and dared not move a step further.
It's just that everyone has never seen the Tianzi Sword, and they don't know whether what he said is true or not, but looking at the lively dragon-shaped sword body in his hand, and the exquisitely carved dragon-shaped pattern on the scabbard, the golden fish scale-like lines interspersed with it, There is an aura of domineering everywhere, and it is indeed a rare royal thing.
Otherwise, ordinary people would not dare to use dragon patterns even if they were rich and powerful.
The crowd hesitated and were at a loss, only to see Hu Maoxi leading the plainclothes government servants who were carrying large and small parcels to kneel down first: "Seeing the sword is like seeing the emperor, so don't make a fuss."
The government servants in Haikang County saw this and knelt down with the crowd of onlookers.
Looking at the grand scene, Chu Nanzhi was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know where the broken sword appeared on Xiaobai's face, and she didn't know whether to kneel or not.
It's nothing to bow down and salute, even kowtowing to Chang Lao Nie as a teacher is acceptable to her, but she really can't do it for a while to kneel down for the imperial power.
Chu Nanzhi gritted her teeth and poked secretly in her heart to cheer herself up: "I've been afraid of someone in my life, so I'm standing here today, let's see what can be done to me."
The expression was extremely determined, and he regarded death as home.
Seeing that she was still in a daze, Lin Jinxiao looked over coldly, and couldn't help but whispered in her ear: "Quickly kneel down."
Looking at his sharp eyes, Chu Nanzhi was so frightened that she knelt down with Xiao Sibao in her arms.
Grandma has a leg.
Those who know the current affairs are heroes, kneel on their knees.
Good girls don't fight with beautiful boys, and after thinking about a lot of reasons, I finally convinced myself.
It's really hateful that this little boy dares to put on an official position with himself before he takes office.
I don’t know where to buy durian.
The commotion in the downtown area quickly alarmed the Haikang county government. Kang Mingyuan and Tan Miao led all the government officials to hear the news. When they saw the county captain Qi Luan lying dead on the ground, they did not dare to speak up, and glanced at him bitterly. Qi Dongqiang, who was trembling all over, ran towards Lin Jinxiao without seeing him, knelt down and called out earnestly, "Master Imperial Envoy, I hope you will forgive me for being late to greet you."
Lin Jinxiao supported Chu Nanzhi's mother and daughter, and casually replied: "I'm not an imperial envoy, but I just heard that my wife has been bullied here, so I came here to take a look."
"It's not an imperial envoy, it's about to be you."
Hu Maoxi hadn't said the word "boss", Lin Jinxiao gave him a glance, and Hu Maoxi immediately changed his words: "Master Kang, you are an official of a parent, but you allow your subordinate officials to bully men and women in the downtown area and act recklessly. It's illegal, but it's crazy."
"Never, ever."
Kang Mingyuan knew all about the affairs here, but he didn't expect the Son of Heaven sword to appear out of the sky, and he was not in a hurry to ask about the Qi family's father and son, so he picked up the key point first and asked, "I don't know where this noble envoy is. If it is not an imperial envoy, why does it hold the Emperor Sword?"
Although he has never seen the Sword of Heaven, he has read the books of sages and sages, so he already knows the general appearance of the Sword of Heaven. He stared intently at the rainbow-swallowing cold sword in his hand.
What is this other than the Son of Heaven Sword?
Lin Jinxiao replied slowly and generously: "Lin Jinxiao is a member of the Lin clan in Luyan Port."
"A member of the Lin clan?"
The lineage of King Pingning has been in decline for hundreds of years, how can it be favored by the emperor now and bestowed with a sword for protection?
Kang Mingyuan asked in surprise: "I don't know how His Majesty bestowed the Emperor Sword to your envoy?"
Lin Jinxiao looked straight at the past with sharp eagle eyes: "Master Kang, do you want to question my Lin family or the emperor?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, this Qi Luan deserved what he deserved, and he deserved death."
Angrily scolded, Kang Mingyuan turned to bowing his knees and hurriedly cupped his hands: "Please also invite your envoy and Mr. Hu to go to the post to rest."
Afterwards, the co-master Tan Miaocheng left Qi Dongqiang in fear, and hurriedly led everyone to the posthouse.
The largest and most luxurious post house in Haikang County is next to the county government office, only a few hundred meters away, and it is specially used to receive distinguished guests.
When the group arrived there, they saw a few people coming out of the posthouse, carrying some packages in their hands, hurrying along. Chu Nanzhi looked very suspicious, so she called them down quickly after deliberation, and was about to interrogate them. But was interrupted by an old man who hurried over.
The old man recognized Kang Mingyuan and Tan Miao in the crowd, glanced at the few people who were stopped, and called out respectfully: "My lords, the lower officials have sent someone to sort out the belongings of the county magistrate, and I am about to send them to you." To the county government."
Hearing this, Kang Mingyuan first ordered: "Tan Yicheng, distinguished guests came to the county today, go and clean out all the houses in the post house for the distinguished guests to rest."
Tan Yicheng glanced lightly over the faces of this group of strangers, then nodded, turned around and hurriedly led people to tidy up the house.
Kang Mingyuan waved at the few people who were stopped by Chu Nanzhi carelessly: "Hurry up and send all the relics to Zhu Xiancheng's mourning hall."
"Slow down."
The few people hadn't moved, but Chu Nanzhi immediately stopped it: "Since it is the relic of the county magistrate, please be considerate, Mr. Kang, and temporarily keep it in the place where the magistrate is staying, for the purpose of obtaining evidence."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao also frowned inexplicably: "Why are the relics of the county magistrate in the post?"
"Return to your envoy's words."
Kang Mingyuan bowed his hands respectfully: "The conditions in this county are poor, and there is really no room in the government office for Zhu Xiancheng. There is no subsidy in the county, and Zhu Xiancheng is not from this county, so since he took office last year, he has been working hard. Living in a posthouse."
"I see."
Lin Jinxiao frowned and nodded in thought.
It is outrageous that such a luxurious post house can be built, but it cannot afford the house of a county magistrate.
Kang Mingyuan pretended to be indifferent and said again: "In the past few days, the elderly in the Zhu County Prime Minister's family will come to mourn the funeral, and the lower official specially sent someone to sort out the county prime minister's relics and hand them over to his parents and brothers."
"The most distressing thing about being a parent is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, and the son dies tragically in a different place. Presumably what Zhu Xiancheng's parents are most looking forward to now is to see the real murderer punish the law and make their son smile."
At this point, Lin Jinxiao smiled and looked at Chu Nanzhi tenderly: "Since my wife came here for this case, according to what she said, return Zhu Xiancheng's relics to the original place for the time being."
"This"
Kang Mingyuan was frowning and thinking hard, Lin Jinxiao didn't intend to discuss with him, and directly ordered Hu Maoxi: "Master Hu, please send someone to take care of the relics for my wife to collect evidence."
Kang Mingyuan was very annoyed, but seeing that the Tianzi sword in his hand was not easy to disobey, and when he was in trouble, Tan Miao immediately came out to mediate and said: "What your envoy said is reasonable, Mr. Kang, now Mrs. Chu wants to be the grandson of a sinner. Wu Ji overturned the case, and it is true that Zhu Xiancheng's relics cannot be handed over to his family for the time being."
Hearing the words, Kang Mingyuan had no choice but to answer carefully: "Okay, then follow what your envoy said."
