In the capital, Su Chen's name was getting more and more famous, and his prestige was also getting higher and higher. Among the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he had the momentum of being the number one person.
The news that Ji Gang was seriously ill somehow leaked out. He lived in seclusion every day and handed most of the matters to Su Chen to handle.
Regarding this, Azure Dragon and the others did not have any objections. Ever since the last battle, they had become much more obedient in front of Su Chen.
Not only that, but because Su Chen had beheaded Patriarch Bloody Blade last time, he had shown his face in front of the little emperor. Since then, many cases that should have been handled by the East and West Chambers had been ordered by the little emperor to be handled by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
This also led to the relationship between the Second East and West Factories and the Embroidered Uniform Guards being like fire and water. When the people of both sides met, they were at daggers drawn and almost fought several times.
"Milord, this is a case handed down by the palace!”
Su Chen sat in the main hall where the South Town Administrative Office handled official business. A hundred households below him held a document in his hand and spoke respectfully.
"Read!"
Su Chen sat behind the table and spat out a word without looking up.
"This is the Imperial Censor of the Inspectorate, Yan Peiwei. He has taken bribes, perverted the law, and abused his power. I hereby order the Embroidered Uniform Guards to arrest him and bring him to justice. If he dares to resist, he can be killed on the spot!”
The centurion opened the official document and read out a few sentences. It was similar to the past. It was nothing more than going to confiscate the house and arrest people.
"Tell Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan to meet me!”
Su Chen said in a deep voice. This kind of work was obviously to earn credit, so he naturally had to arrange it for his own people.
Soon, Shen Lian and his brothers arrived. Su Chen nodded at them and said,""Capture them and leave them alive!”
Shen Lian and the other two had done this more than once. They agreed to it immediately. Then, they went back to gather the troops and charged towards Yan Peiwei's residence in the capital.
"Second, we have to be careful with this case!”
On the way, Lu Jianxing looked at the official documents and turned his head to speak to Shen Lian. His expression was solemn.
"Oh?" "Why did big brother say that?" Shen Lian asked with doubt.”
At this moment, Jin Yichuan's ears perked up and he wore a curious expression.
In the capital, when the Jinyiwei handled cases, other than the occasional interference of a few other institutions, they had never encountered any troublesome matters.
"This Yan Peiwei is not only the Imperial Censor of the Ming Dynasty, he has another identity!”
Lu Jianxing closed the document and slowly said,"He is a disciple of the Jindao School. He is extremely powerful and has dozens of Jianghu experts in his residence.”
"But this is not written in the official document!”
Lu Jianxing's focus was on the last sentence. After saying that, he glanced at the two brothers and continued,"I suspect that someone is deliberately targeting us, or rather, targeting Milord!”
"Then what should we do?" Jin Yichuan pulled the reins and said anxiously,""Should we go back and tell the lord?"
"We can't go back!"
Shen Lian opened his mouth and held the ancestral embroidered spring knife at his waist. He shook his head and said,"Even if we know that it's a trap ahead, we still have to force our way through. This concerns the dignity of Your Excellency and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, so we can't be careless!”
Lu Jianxing, who was in the middle, also nodded and said,"That's right, but we shouldn't be so stupid as to dive in. When we reach the Yan residence, leave a smart brother outside. If there's a situation, immediately send a signal for backup!”
The other two nodded and agreed with Lu Jianxing's arrangement. According to the original plan, the three of them quickly arrived outside the Yan residence.
Perhaps they had already received the news, but the gates of the Yan Manor were tightly shut. Lu Jianxing brought about 50 people and quickly surrounded it.
"Leave two people behind to adapt to the situation. The rest of you, follow me and charge in!”
Lu Jianxing took out his oversized Embroidered Spring Sword and jumped off the horse. Shen Lian and the rest followed behind him and entered Yan Manor from all directions.
In the Yan Residence, Lu Jianxing and the others realized that something was wrong as soon as they landed. The courtyard was filled with servants and hanger-ons, all of them holding swords and sabers, as if they were specially waiting for them.
"Who is Yan Peiwei?!"
Lu Jianxing took a step forward and asked loudly with a knife in his hand.
"Me!" A middle-aged man in the middle of the room responded. He then cupped his fists and said,"I am Yan Peiwei. Greetings to all the lords of the Brocade Guard!”
"Let's cut the crap and come with us!”
Lu Jianxing's words were just a formality. Of course, it would be best if Yan Peiwei was captured without a fight!
"Your Excellency, please be aware that this lowly official has been framed by the treacherous people of the Imperial Court. The matter of corruption and dereliction of duty is purely non-existent!”
Yan Peiwei's words were full of grievance and bitterness. The servants and guests around him were all as if they were facing a great enemy. In the back room, there were many women and children who peeked out secretly.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards only care about capturing people. As for whether there is any injustice, someone will investigate after we return!”
Lu Jianxing frowned and shouted,"If there is any resistance, kill without mercy!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Brocade Guards beside him shouted in unison, brandishing their Embroidered Spring Sabers, looking as if they would attack at any moment.
"Your Majesty! I've been wronged!"
Yan Peiwei looked up at the sky and raised his hands high." Heaven and earth can see that I am loyal to Ming and the Emperor. I have to protect myself today!”
"Stop them!"
Yan Peiwei was also a decisive person. After he gave the order, his servants and disciples all rushed forward. The two sides soon began to fight.
Even Yan Peiwei himself was holding onto a long saber and fighting with Shen Lian. With the bladesmanship of Jindao School, Shen Lian could not take him down for a while.
Among those disciples, there were also quite a few people from Jindao School and the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were caught in a bitter battle.
Outside the Yan Mansion, the two Brocade Guards that Lu Jianxing had left behind hid in the dark according to his instructions. Soon, they saw a large group of people arrive.
The leader was Liu Xi from the East Chamber. As soon as he arrived outside the Yan Manor, he ordered someone to bring a chair and sat at the door with a golden knife. He received the East Chamber's disciples and surrounded the Yan Manor.
"Crossbow, aim at the people inside!”
Liu Xi sat on a chair and spoke in a sharp voice. In a short while, ten military vehicles that were as tall as a person were set up outside the Yan Manor.
The military weapons were standard military equipment. They were as tall as a person and were pulled by a cart. The crossbows on the crossbows were as thick as an arm and more than three meters long.
The lethality of this thing on the battlefield was shocking. Even a Xiantian expert would lose half of his life if he was hit head-on. In the end, he would fall into a heavy encirclement and die on the spot!
"Quick, go back and ask for help!"
The two Embroidered Uniform Guards looked at each other. One of them stayed behind to observe the situation, while the other immediately rushed to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'encampment. At this time, how could they still care about waiting for the signal!
