This son-in-law is wicked in a good way!

At this moment, Guan Tianyou, having calmed down, straightened his scarlet third-rank official robe and glared at Zhang Ping'an.

"How dare you!"

"A mere few Iron Guards, who gave you the authority to interfere in such a major case of the Ministry of Justice!"

All eyes immediately turned to Zhang Ping'an.

Wang Qisheng chuckled: "Ping An, it's your turn to perform. Don't tarnish the prestige of us Night Watchmen."

Zhang Ping'an nodded slightly, slung the knife over his shoulder, and strode forward.

Boom!

The hilt of the knife slammed heavily onto the bluestone floor.

Zhang Ping'an leaned on his knife with both hands, looking at Guan Tianyou with a half-smile.

"Someone has accused Sun Xing, the son of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, of abusing his power, disregarding the law, and distorting the truth."

"Upon investigation, this case and the Chen Zhishi case are actually the same case, and therefore they will be handled as a combined case."

"No one is allowed to interfere until this case is thoroughly investigated."

"Including your Ministry of Justice."

Guan Tianyou forced himself to remain calm: "On what grounds?!"

"The evidence in this case is conclusive, and the main culprit has already confessed. The case can be closed immediately, and even the Night Watch has no right to interfere."

Zhang Ping'an raised his broadsword, looked at Guan Tianyou and sneered: "Then Lord Guan will have to ask the sword in my hand if it agrees."

choke!

Wang Qisheng and Zhou Weidong, along with more than a dozen of their night watchmen subordinates, readily drew their long swords from their waists.

"You, you... how dare you!" Guan Tianyou's face turned pale, and he took a few steps back. He had long since experienced the domineering nature of the Night Watchmen.

Zhang Ping'an raised an eyebrow at Guan Tianyou with a smirk.

"take away!"

He turned around, went back, and helped Chen Zhishi up: "Brother Chen, can you walk?"

Chen Zhishi tilted his head slightly and hummed, "Of course."

Wang Qisheng and Zhou Weidong, along with Chen Zhishi's parents, swaggered away from the execution ground as if it were empty.

"I'm so angry!"

Guan Tianyou flipped the table over.

The dignified Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, a high-ranking official of the third rank, was actually intimidated by three night watchmen and a dozen or so henchmen.

"Guo Sanbao, I'm going to report you to His Majesty!"

……

On the street, passersby avoided Zhang Ping'an and his group, showing great respect and not daring to even raise their heads.

Zhang Ping'an truly felt the superpowers brought by this official robe.

"Brother Wang, you take them back to the yamen first. Brother Zhou and I will go and arrest Sun Xing."

Zhou Weidong looked at Zhang Ping'an: "Ping'an, Sun Xing is definitely hiding at home. This arrest might be dangerous. Let Lao Wang go with you!"

"Why?" Zhang Ping'an asked curiously.

Looking Old Wang up and down, he doesn't seem like a master.

Wang Qisheng smiled smugly: "Ping An, I have a trump card."

"He's right, let's go catch Sun Xing together!"

"What kind of ultimate move is it? Show us one." Zhang Ping'an asked curiously.

Wang Qisheng rolled his eyes at him: "Ultimate moves are only meant for crucial moments, not to be used carelessly!"

"Let's go, or Sun Xing might get away if we're late."

"Okay." Zhang Ping'an nodded and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhou Weidong: "Take care."

"You too," Zhou Weidong said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen." Wang Qisheng patted his chest loudly.

"You lot, come with me."

Zhang Ping'an selected seven or eight of his men and immediately rushed towards the Sun residence.

The Sun residence.

Inside the room, Sun Guihua, who had rushed back ahead of time, was giving Sun Xing instructions with a cold face.

"The situation has changed; that poor wretch named Zhang Ping'an has suddenly joined the Night Watch."

"Now that the Night's Watch has gotten involved in the case, we've become very passive."

Sun Xing always appears obedient in front of his father.

"Father, what can the Night's Watch do without evidence?"

Sun Guihua narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at his son: "I suspect they'll be here to arrest you soon. Can you hold out in the Night Watchman's prison?"

Sun Xing gave a cold laugh: "Father, don't worry, as long as they have no evidence, I will never confess."

"it is good."

"You'll have to suffer in there for a few days, but I'll get you out soon."

Sun Guihua's face was gloomy. This was the first time he had been driven to such a state by a poor, despicable person he looked down upon.

"Master, something terrible has happened! The night watch is here..." the steward rushed in to report.

Sun Guihua opened the door and went out, glaring at him.

"What's the panic!"

"This is the residence of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel! Do they dare to force their way in?!"

"Come with me and let's go out and have a look."

After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Sun Xing.

"You should come along too!"

"Yes." Sun Xing obediently followed behind his father.

The living room of the Sun family residence.

Zhang Ping'an, his hand on the hilt of his sword, was standing at the entrance with Wang Qisheng, looking around the Sun family's garden.

"Wow, this garden design is definitely the work of a master!"

"And these flowers, they must be a variety from the Western Regions. I heard they cost a hundred taels each!"

"Extravagant, so extravagant..." Wang Qisheng muttered as he bent over to admire the place.

"Brother Wang, how much is the annual salary of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?" Zhang Ping'an suddenly asked.

Wang Qisheng blinked: "It must be at least a thousand taels!"

"Even at two thousand taels a year, after deducting daily expenses, how long would it take to afford a house like this?"

Wang Qisheng's eyes lit up, and he grinned mischievously: "You mean to say that this Lord Sun is corrupt and accepts bribes?"

Zhang Ping'an patted his chest: "Without bribes, you could never afford a house like this in eight lifetimes."

"What are you Night Watchmen doing here?" Sun Guihua asked, walking over with a group of people, his hands behind his back.

Dressed in an official robe, he exuded an imposing aura, his face grim as he surveyed Zhang Ping'an and Wang Qisheng.

"Greetings, Lord Sun!"

Wang Qisheng bowed and secretly nudged Zhang Ping'an.

Zhang Ping'an also clasped his hands in a salute.

"No need for formalities. Get to the point. I'm not familiar with you night watchmen," Sun Guihua said arrogantly.

"Lord Sun, someone has filed a complaint against your son, Sun Xing. We have been ordered to invite Young Master Sun to the Night Watch Office."

Wang Qisheng said with a smile.

Sun Guihua snorted coldly: "What if I say no?"

Wang Qisheng was taken aback for a moment, but still smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Sir, I am only acting under orders. Please don't make things difficult for me..."

Sun Guihua was just putting on airs; even though he was of high rank, he didn't dare to confront the Night Watchmen head-on.

This is because it is a privilege granted by the emperor to the Night Watch.

"Xing'er, since someone is trying to frame you, you should go to the Night Watch's office!"

"Tomorrow I will go to see the Emperor. If the Night Watch cannot produce evidence, then your Lord of the Palace will come to give me an explanation!"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Sun. The Night Watch Office is a place of reason. We will never wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a bad person go free."

"As long as Young Master Sun does not violate the laws of the Great Wu, he will naturally be fine."

Zhang Ping'an looked at Sun Xing and let out a meaningful sneer.

Sun Guihua suddenly roared, "Did I give you permission to speak?"

Zhang Ping'an frowned, about to retort, but was stopped by Wang Qisheng.

"Lord Sun, my colleague here has just joined the Night's Watch and is unfamiliar with the rules. Please forgive him!"

"Please come with us, Young Master Sun. Lord Dian is waiting for us to return and report."

Wang Qisheng adopted an extremely humble posture.

Sun Guihua turned her back.

"Xing'er, you must go with them. If even a single hair is missing, even if it goes all the way to His Majesty, I will still demand an explanation from Guo Sanbao!"
