The world is like a prison, my body is holy

Chapter 54: Going Crazy When Something Happens
Zhao Zhiling quickly came to his senses, picked up the tea bowl on the table, drank some tea and gave a wink to Li Heng on his left.

He didn't want to hear what Wang Wen really thought, because what he thought was definitely not in the interests of him and the Observatory.

Li Heng understood, slapped the armrest of his chair, stood up, and shouted angrily: "How dare you! How can you be tolerated in the court..."

"Fuck you!"

Wang Wen, who had been trying very hard to remain calm, suddenly became angry and shouted even louder than Li Heng: "What are you barking about? Did I talk to you? Who the hell are you talking to? In terms of official positions, you and I are both higher, and in terms of merit, I am not inferior to you, Li Heng, in any way. Who the hell gave you the confidence to yell at me like that? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Li Heng shouted "Fuck you" four times in a row, which made his three corpse spirits jump up in rage. He rushed towards Wang Wen with his fists clenched.

Cheng Xian hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, saying repeatedly: "Zhong He, calm down, if you have something to say, speak carefully and slowly, don't let the little guys below laugh at you..."

Wang Wen waved his hands impatiently. "Brother Xian, don't stop him. Let him come. I really want to see what he can do to me today... Li, don't look at me with such dead eyes. If you really have the guts, go get your weapons and fight me in the training ground. It's a battle of life and death. Do you dare?"

Li Heng's handsome face turned purple after being confronted by him, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Because he knew in his heart that he was no match for Wang Wen...

After all, they knew everything about the fight between Wang Wen and Zhang Yuan last night.

Seeing this, Cheng Xian had no choice but to persuade Wang Wen: "Erhu, stop it! You said we are a family behind closed doors. Why can't we talk it out peacefully? Why do you have to be so aggressive?"

"I treat you as a family, but do you treat me, Wang Wen, as a family member?"

Wang Wen vented his anger at Cheng Xianke, but his gaze turned to Zhao Zhiling in the hall: "You're all waiting to see my family embarrass themselves, to see me stick my butt out and make a pledge of allegiance, right?"

"not enough?"

"What's not enough? If I go pack up the heads of the hundreds of people from the Sanhe Gang and send them over, will that be enough?"

"Or will it be enough if we sacrifice the lives of several hundred people from the Qinghe Gang?"

"Fuck it, what the hell does this shit have to do with my Qinghe Gang? My Qinghe Gang respects you all, we support you all, we donate money and work hard for you, but have we really spoiled you all?"

"Fuck it! We've been running around, fighting for our lives, and it's fine if we don't even have your trust, but you insist on labeling us as criminals and forcing us to make amends for our crimes?"

"I really want to pry open each of your brains and see what's going on inside. How can you be so effective? You can even come up with such a dirty trick!"

He was cursing like a tantrum, his face red and his saliva flying everywhere.

The four people in the hall were so shocked by his scolding that they could hardly open their eyes. They tried to change the subject again and again, but they couldn't get a word in.

In fact, when Wang Wen brought these things that shouldn't have been brought to the surface, they were all a little at a loss.

"I, King Lao Hu, have to say something unpleasant. We respect you as adults. You are the adults here. If we don't respect you as adults..."

Wang Wen was satisfied with his scolding and began to summarize: "What can you do to us?"

He originally wanted to say "Who do you think you are?", but looking at Zhao Zhiling's ashen face, he thought better of it... at least he could leave the other person with some underwear, right?

But that's the fact.

At least for now, the Cao Gang gives face to the Imperial Observatory, and the Imperial Observatory has face in the Cao Gang!

If the Cao Gang is unwilling to give face to the Imperial Observatory, what can the Imperial Observatory, a humble government office that is neither a county magistrate nor in charge, do to the Cao Gang?

Do you really think that the Cao Gang has been in the Great Zhou for two hundred years in vain?

……

Wang Wen was happy, but now it was Zhao Zhiling and the others' turn to be unhappy.

That’s exactly what happened!

But we can do it, can you tell?
Is there still any law? Is there still any law?
Are we the officials, or are you the officials?
But faced with Wang Wen's arguments, they couldn't find a way to refute this reckless man. Wang Wen also smelled the suppressed tension in the lobby and thought that this time they were bound to fall out. Instead of waiting for them to fire him, he might as well fire them first.

"Stop it!"

Wang Wen ripped off his belt and reached out to peel off his official uniform: "Since we can't see eye to eye, let's not force ourselves to work together. You're annoying me, and I'm uneasy looking at you..."

"Two Tigers."

Cheng Xian, who was sprayed with spit in his face, spoke helplessly: "It's okay for you to throw a tantrum and curse at me for other things, but if you say we don't believe you, that's really unfair. You said we knew that the Cao Gang was up to something, and if we didn't believe you, would we have allowed you to come in and out of the government office for so long?"

"Amitabha!"

The great monk Shou'an on the upper left also spoke at the right time: "Come to think of it, Master Wang, it was you who refused to go out these days. We thought you were feeling something and were deliberately avoiding suspicion, so how could we point it out..."

Wang Wen glanced at the two of them and was about to sneer.

Zhao Zhiling in the hall clearly saw his crooked mouth and quickly took emergency shelter: "Yes, Erhu, you are indeed too impulsive. You didn't even want to listen to me finish my words. I said 'not enough', not that the explanation given by the Qinghe Gang was not enough, but that you, the Qinghe Gang, didn't finish the job..."

Wang Wen gave him a mocking look: "You even said the word 'confession', who are you trying to fool?"

If Zhao Zhiling's face hadn't already flushed, he would have been embarrassed. But now, facing Wang Wen's gaze, he could only bite the bullet and say, "If you don't trust me, you can ask Master Zhengyong and Master Shouan for confirmation."

fact?

The truth is of course as Wang Wen said. He wanted to use the stain of the Sanhe Gang colluding with the White Lotus Sect to control all the Cao Gang forces in Yangzhou City and clear out all the evil spirits in the city for them.

But can he admit it?

Of course he couldn't admit it!
Wang Wen scolded him so harshly, wasn't he angry?

Of course he was angry, so angry that he wanted to fork this brute, beat him with eighty sticks and then throw him out the door.

But can he?

Of course he can't!
Let’s not talk about whether this rude man is willing to lie down on the bench and let people hit him with a stick.

Let’s not talk about the trivial matter for now. Slapping this reckless man’s butt is equivalent to slapping the Cao Gang’s face.

Just because of this brute's broken mouth, if anyone dares to let him step out of the gate of the Dusi Tianjian today, his Dusi Tianjian will have a ruined reputation in Yangzhou City tomorrow and become infamous!
Therefore, even though he was extremely angry, he had to hold his nose and try to keep this reckless man.

……

Wang Wen naturally didn't believe a single punctuation mark in what Zhao Zhiling said.

But this guy is such a high-ranking official, and he took the initiative to give him a hand, so he felt that he had to give him this face.

So he quickly buttoned his collar and turned his gaze to Cheng Xian.

Cheng Xian gritted his teeth and said while organizing his words, "Indeed, last night you successfully executed Zhang Yuan of the Sanhe Gang and the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Taoist Black Tiger, and broke into the White Lotus Sect's stronghold in Yangzhou City, but you have yet to unearth the altar set up by the White Lotus Sect in Yangzhou City... Yes, the altar!"

Wang Wen frowned, looking at him doubtfully. "Is it true? What's the use of that thing? Even if it's true, we've already uprooted the White Lotus sect's branch in Yangzhou City. It's useless, right?"

“It’s true, it’s true…”

Cheng Xian breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Zhao Zhiling in the hall.

Zhao Zhiling also breathed a sigh of relief and casually pulled out a letter from the documents on his desk: "Daoist Master Jingxu set out for the Maoshan Ancestral Temple three days ago to investigate this matter. This is a handwritten letter from Daoist Master Jingxu sent back from the Maoshan Ancestral Temple. You will know it at a glance!"

Wang Wen took the letter with a doubtful look on his face...
