Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the crowd rushing towards him. He chuckled and said,"I knew that you wouldn't just sit there and wait for death.”
Qiu Wenli's face turned ashen. He gritted his teeth and said,"Don't think that you can force me to tell you everything with your strange martial arts. As long as you die, no one will know about this. Even if the Emperor knows that we have done something, as long as there is no evidence, she can't do anything to us.”
Zhang Chen grabbed Qiu Wenli's neck and sneered,""Then open your eyes and look carefully. See who's dead?”
As they spoke.
The killers who rushed out of the shops on both sides had already surrounded Zhang Chen. All kinds of weapons were stabbing at Zhang Chen. Even Qiu Wenli was within the attack range.
Qiu Wenli's expression changed drastically as he roared in disbelief,""You want to kill me too?"
Zhang Chen unsheathed his sword, and the sword flashed. The group of people closest to him immediately spat out blood from their throats and fell back.
"You are nothing but a corrupt official, a parasite that gnaws away at the foundation of the Grand Xia Empire! Even if Prince Ning, who you serve, ascends to the throne, he will eliminate people like you at the first possible moment. Now that you're a threat to him, why can't he kill you?”
Zhang Chen's tone was very calm, but it had a huge impact on Qiu Wenli.
A top-notch corrupt official like Qiu Wenli would always dream of being a high-ranking official.
As long as they could advance in their official positions, they were willing to do anything.
If it was someone else who wanted to rebel, they might have some misgivings.
However, if the members of the royal family rebelled, they would not have any psychological burden.
This was because the Martial Monarch Realm was not properly appointed to the throne, so they could feel at ease pushing other members of the royal family to the throne.
In this way, as long as the new emperor ascended the throne, they could rely on the merits of following the dragon to raise their official positions to a higher level.
However, they would never think about whether the Emperor would completely trust a subject who had already betrayed them once.
Zhang Chen found this method laughable.
"You're clearly just a tool that can be thrown away after one use, but you treat yourself as someone important. You vermin are too laughable!”
He said heart-wrenching words while holding a sword that could cut his throat.
Zhang Chen didn't stop walking. He walked from one end of the street to the other, and there were corpses lying behind him.
Qiu Wenli was dumbfounded and said in a daze,"Dead? All dead? Your martial arts are actually so high?"
"Shh!" "Keep it a secret!" Zhang Chen smiled. Only by keeping a low profile can we catch them off guard!"
Qiu Wenli had mixed feelings. He knew who those assassins were.
That was the most brutal and cold-blooded organization in Prince Ning's hands!
The weakest assassin in Bloodshed was a second-rate expert in the martial world. The strongest could even be called a top-notch expert.
Just the group of Bloodshed Assassins from before could wipe out a second-rate sect.
However, such a powerful force could not even hold on for fifteen minutes under the hands of this small wooden badge constable.
" Low-key…and unexpected?"
Qiu Wenli smiled bitterly. It was indeed unexpected.
If Zhang Chen had not kept such a low profile, why would they let Bloodshed take action?
If they had known that Zhang Chen had such a high level of martial arts, they would not have sent Bloodshed to his death. They would have sent an even stronger expert to take action.
Qiu Wenli knew that it was already too late!
If the Bloodshed Interception failed, he would have to make a trip to the Ministry of Justice's prison.
After dealing with Bloodshed, there were no more obstacles in the road ahead.
Zhang Chen locked Qiu Wenli in jail and went straight to the Ministry of Justice's Minister of Justice, Li You.
"Lord Li, the Tingzhou tax case has been solved. Please send people to arrest the criminal.”
"When did you come back? You said that the Tingzhou tax case has been solved?”
When Li You saw Zhang Chen, he was obviously stunned. He somewhat doubted his own ears. Several imperial envoys had gone to Tingzhou. Some died, some disappeared, and some defected. No one could find any clues.
A small constable with a wooden badge had been in Tingzhou for less than ten days, and he said that the case had been solved?
How could he believe this?
Zhang Chen took out Qiu Wenli's confession and said indifferently,""This is the confession of the Minister of Personnel, Qiu Wenli. There is also a list of names attached.”
Li You's heart was instantly in turmoil. He said in a flabbergasted manner,"Are you saying that you arrested the Minister of Personnel?”
The Ministry of Personnel, the head of the six departments!
Although Li You was the Minister of Justice, he knew very well that his position and authority could not be compared to the Minister of Personnel.
But now, his nominal subordinate, a constable with a wooden badge, had captured the Minister of Personnel.
How could he face this calmly?
Zhang Chen was a little impatient and said coldly,"Lord Li, some people on the list could be silenced at any time. His Majesty is waiting for the case to be closed. We don't have much time to delay.”
Li You came to a realization and quickly said,""Good! I'll order someone to arrest him now!"
However, the officialdom was corrupt. In such a large Ministry of Justice, there were less than ten constables left behind.
Many of the constables left right after they were on duty. No one knew where they were during their duty.
The summoning order was issued for a long time, but only three bronze plates, more than thirty iron plates, and wooden plates were summoned.
Li You was so angry that he cursed,"Bastard! What a bunch of bastards! How dare you neglect your duties like this? I think you all don't want to live!”
