I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 126 Confrontation
"Old...Master, the chief minister did not accept our money, but sent someone to return it intact!" After learning the news, the housekeeper rushed to report to Wen Pingyi.

"What? All the 5000 taels of silver have been returned?" Wen Pingyi couldn't help being surprised after hearing what the butler said.

"Yes, my lord! According to the officials of the Governor's Mansion, the chief minister seems to be very unhappy about this." The butler looked around and saw that there were no idlers waiting around before he dared to speak in a low voice.

"Hmph, it's right for him to be upset. He obviously thinks there is too little money! These dog officials are really shameless. Every year, my Wen family sends them so much money, but they still can't satisfy their appetites. Do you really think that my Wen family is easy to bully?"

"Since he sent the silver back, there is no need to send it anymore, let's go another way!"

After Wen Pingyi finished speaking, he added this sentence to the housekeeper.

"Yes, sir! I will deal with this matter immediately."

After the butler answered, he was about to go to the counter to withdraw the money, but he heard a noise coming from outside.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Wen Pingyi was quite surprised by this. It had been a long time since no one dared to make trouble outside his Wen's house.

"Master, I'll go and have a look." After the butler finished speaking, he walked straight to the door.

……

"Who are you? What do you want so many people to gather at the door of my Wen's house?" The guard at the door blocked the people from coming out.

"I am Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County. I have just received an order from the chief political envoy to arrest the murderer. Wen Rong, the youngest son of the Wen family, murdered someone in the street. Let me go with me!" Hai Rui said. The guard of the governor's mansion showed his figure.

"Hmph, just because you, a little magistrate, want to come to my Wen family to take people? Even if the magistrate comes, he has to be polite! Here, do you see the open space next to it? Take your hands and wait there Now, maybe my master is in a good mood and will meet you again!"

After learning that Hai Rui was just a county magistrate, the guard at the gate began to speak out.

"Take it down for me. If you encounter resistance, you will be killed without mercy!" Hai Rui waved his hand violently, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion behind him were like a pack of wolves seeing a fat sheep. They pulled out their weapons from their waists and rushed forward. go up.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? This is Wen's family! Ah!" There was only a scream, and the brazen boy from before was wiped on his neck while struggling.

I saw his face full of disbelief, his pupils dilated suddenly, and then he tightly covered the incision in his throat with both hands, trying to slow down the flow of blood, but it was of no avail, and he let out a 'ho ho' sound from his mouth.

As the blood continued to pour out, he could no longer support his body, and fell to the ground suddenly!The blood gradually accumulated under his body into a small pool of blood. Until the moment of death, he still kept his hands covering his throat.

"Killed, killed!"

Those people had never seen such a scene before, they were frightened and began to shout regardless.

"Give me peace! If you dare to shout again, this is the end."

Hai Rui glanced at everyone coldly, then stepped over the servant's corpse, and knocked on the door of Wen Mansion.

'Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom! The sound of knocking on the door lingered in everyone's ears. Looking at the dead body on the ground, everyone couldn't help shivering, and at the same time, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Who is it? Come here, don't knock on the door again!"

Just at this time, the butler who had just come to inquire about the situation came to the door and opened it.

"Who is this lord?" The butler looked suspiciously at Hai Rui.

"My official is Hai Rui, the Magistrate of Chun'an County. This time, I have received the order from the chief political envoy to arrest Wen Rong, the murderer in the street!" Hai Rui's tone was flat, without much ups and downs.

"Just..." After listening to Hai Rui's self-introduction, the butler was about to sneer when he caught a glimpse of the corpse in a pool of blood from the corner of his eyes!Immediately, he suppressed everything he wanted to say.

"My lord, please wait a moment, let me go in and report." Just for a moment, the butler's expression became extremely respectful.

"Well, go in and report! I'm waiting here for your news." Hai Rui took the butler's expression into his eyes and said calmly.

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, my lord!" After the butler finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

"Master, master, it's not good. The government sent someone to come to the door, saying they want to take the young master away! Not only that, but also killed a janitor of my Wen family." The housekeeper came to Wen Pingyi panting , through reports.

"What? Who did the government send here?" Wen Pingyi also turned pale with shock after hearing the butler's words.

"He said he was Hai Rui, the county magistrate of Chun'an! He came here on the orders of the chief political envoy." After a short rest, the butler finally regained his strength and said to Wen Pingyi.

"This dog official! Don't you think that the money given to him is too little? You actually sent this Hai Rui to my Wen family to arrest people, not only that, but also killed my Wen family's servants!"

"It's really unreasonable, you follow me!" After Wen Pingyi said, he glanced at the butler from the corner of his eye, and said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, master, please follow me." After the butler finished speaking, he walked ahead and led the way.

Under the guidance of the butler, Wen Pingyi came to the door and saw Hai Rui at the same time.

"I am the Patriarch of the Wen family. May I ask why you are here?" Wen Pingyi frowned after seeing the corpse lying in a pool of blood on the ground.

"Isn't this obvious at a glance? I have come to arrest the murderer under the order of the chief minister!" Hai Rui glanced at Wen Pingyi and said calmly.

Seeing that Hai Rui was so confident, Wen Pingyi became impatient, and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, why did your lord kill my Wen family's servant?"

"Intend to obstruct the official's handling of the case, kill it! What, do you have any opinions?"

"you you you!"

After Wen Pingyi heard Hai Rui's words, he was out of breath and pointed at Hai Rui with his index finger, unable to speak for a long time.

"I advise you to hand over the criminal as soon as possible, otherwise, I will punish you for covering up!" Hai Rui ignored Wen Pingyi's angry eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, your name is Hai Rui, right? Wait for me!" Wen Pingyi was completely irritated by Hai Rui's attitude, and fixed his eyes on Hai Rui, as if he wanted to engrave his face into his mind. road.

"How dare you threaten the court officials, what crime should you deserve!"

On the side, the guards of the governor's mansion drew out their long knives and glared at Wen Pingyi.

Looking at those gleaming long knives, Wen Pingyi secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, holding back all the words he wanted to say!He had reason to believe that if he dared to speak out again, these long knives would really hit him.

Hai Rui waved his hand, and asked the guards of the governor's mansion behind him to put away the knife, then looked Wen Pingyi directly in the eyes, and said word by word: "My patience is limited, I advise you to hand over the criminal as soon as possible, otherwise , What will happen at that time is beyond the control of this officer."

"You are threatening me!" Wen Pingyi was furious when he heard this.

"Yes, I'm threatening you, what can you do?" Hai Rui raised his eyebrows, his face full of sarcasm.

"Alright, alright, Hai Rui, magistrate of Chun'an County, what you said really benefited me a lot!"

"Go and bring me that evil animal and hand it over to the county magistrate!"

Wen Pingyi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and ordered to the steward beside him.

"Master, this..." The housekeeper's face was full of hesitation.

"Hurry up!!!" Wen Pingyi roared with all his strength.

"Yes, master! I'll go right away, I'll go right away." Seeing Wen Pingyi's anger, the housekeeper left in a hurry.
