Lieutenant?
Dou Xing?
All the surrounding officials of the Supreme Court were so scared that their legs and stomachs turned soft.
'No wonder the atmosphere in the court was so depressing today. It turns out that... they are going to kill the first lieutenant!'
However, that Lieutenant Dou Xing was Empress Dowager Dou's subordinate. If they attacked him, wouldn't that be…courting death?
All the officials were at a loss, and all of them were cursing Xu Du in their hearts.
Was a lieutenant someone that ordinary people could afford to offend?
At that time, if they angered Empress Dowager Dou, none of them would be able to escape!
Didn't you see that many of the previous Emperor's decisions were difficult to carry out under the influence of Empress Dowager Dou?
The Dou family was powerful!
Although the Supreme Court was one of the 9 ministers, how could it compete with the members of the huge Dou-style faction?
Although they felt extremely helpless, a higher rank could crush them! It had been like this since ancient times!
Standing at the front, Xuandu's expression turned cold as he shouted,""Everyone, today, in the name of the Emperor, I will capture the traitor Dou Xing!”
"You're the most capable generals of the Supreme Court. If you quit now, I will let bygones be bygones!”
After he finished speaking, his cold gaze swept across the crowd below.
Facing such a sharp and cold gaze, everyone felt bitter in their hearts. They wanted to retreat but did not dare to.
Looking at the appearance of the capital, it didn't seem like he would let them off.
Talking about mercy with cruel and merciless officials?
What kind of joke was this?
Seeing everyone lowering their heads and not saying a word, Dou nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good!"
"However, if I find out who leaked the information during the operation, don't blame me for not giving you face!”
"Do you understand?"
"Here!" Everyone shouted in unison.
He immediately turned around and bowed deeply to the Goshawk Painting behind him.
Beside the " Goshawk Painting " was the sword that Liu Che had given him-the Shangfang Horse Slaying Sword!
After a solemn bow, he respectfully took down the Shangfang Horse Slaying Sword.
Suddenly, he raised the horse-slaying sword above his head and said,""This is the Shangfang Horse Slaying Sword that His Majesty bestowed upon me!”
"Seeing this sword is like seeing His Majesty!"
As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed drastically and they immediately looked over.
He saw that the body of the sword was chiseled and the patterns were clear.
One side of the sword was engraved with a soaring flood dragon, and the other side was engraved with a phoenix spreading its wings. Moreover, the body of the sword was also engraved with the Big Dipper, which was the shape of the sword responding to the celestial phenomena.
This was the real Shangfang Horse Slaying Sword!
Other than His Majesty, no one else is allowed to use such a decorative sword!
This was imperial power!
There was only one person in the world who could be used!
Suddenly, everyone knelt down and shouted,"Long live Your Majesty!”
"Now, let's go to the Lieutenant's Office!”
Huodu strapped the horse-slaying sword to his waist and strode out.
The officials followed behind.
At the very back, the five hundred Black Armored Soldiers moved in unison.
For a time, the momentum was vast.
His Majesty only gave him one day.
It was obviously too late to investigate slowly.
The fastest way was to confiscate the property!
While Dou Xing wasn't in the residence, he directly raided the house and interrogated all the evidence.
As for saying that…Dou Xing was honest and upright, it was simply impossible.
The reason why they didn't directly capture Dou Xing was because Dou Xing was a lieutenant in charge of the Imperial Army! If he attacked directly, it would cause unnecessary trouble!
Although the five hundred Black Armored Army soldiers were strong, they were no weaker than a mantis trying to stop a chariot when compared to the massive Imperial Army.
Xu Du was a Zhonglang General, Dou Xing's subordinate. He understood this point!
Lieutenant's Department!
Two sleepy guards leaned against the door of the first lieutenant's office and quietly dozed off.
All of a sudden, a group of people walked over with torches in hand.
"Who are you?" The two guards grabbed the swords at their waists and said warily.
After a long while, Du Jue led hundreds of people and stood at the entrance of the first lieutenant's office.
The two guards felt their legs go weak as they looked at the imposing and murderous-looking Xu Du and the others.
"Someone, take him down!" he said coldly.”
"You guys…"
Before the two guards could react, they were captured by the Black Armored Army.
"This is the First Lieutenant's Office. Who are you? Aren't you afraid that Lord Dou will come back and kill all of you?”
As a lieutenant, Dou Xing was in charge of the Imperial Army. He had the right to do so!
"The Supreme Court is handling a case!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered people to escort the two of them in.
Then, he asked two of his trusted aides to change into the lieutenant's uniform and guard the door.
Hearing the commotion outside, a large group of people rushed out of the first lieutenant's office.
The two groups of people met on a narrow road in the lieutenant's office.
"Who are you?"
The leader stood with a spear in his hand, glaring at the city.
"So it's you! The former Zhonglang General, Yidu!"
This man was the former subordinate of Yuandu. After Yuandu was promoted to the position of the chief justice by Liu Che, he took over the official position of Yuandu.
Facing his former subordinates, Xue Du did not give him a good look.
"Zhao Ji! On account of the fact that you followed me in the past, give up resisting and I will spare your life!”
"Give up resisting?" Zhao Ji sneered and said disdainfully. Do I, Zhao Ji, not care about my face?"
"Good!" Xu Du didn't hesitate either. He directly raised the Shang Fang Horse Slaying Sword and shouted,"This is the Shang Fang Horse Slaying Sword! Seeing this sword is like seeing Your Majesty!"
"Hurry up and kneel!"
Zhao Ji's pupils constricted when he saw the sword.
He had served as the adjutant of the Zhonglang General, so he naturally recognized the Shangfang Horse Slaying Sword!
However, it was impossible for him to give up resisting!

Could it be that Emperor Wu of Han was not worthy of being called the one emperor in history??
