My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"hiss……"

Zhang Xinnian slowly stood up from the wall, his gaze falling on the man. The next moment, he grinned again.

"A mere commander of a thousand? Damn it, when your Grandpa Zhang was fighting enemies in the North, you were nothing!"

"Wait, I'll remember this kick!"

"Oh……"

After hearing this, the man's eyes flashed, and he calmly replied, "Okay!"

Zhang Xinnian looked at the man with an indifferent expression, his heart filled with anger. He then turned to the fair-skinned man and said, "Hurry up, bring on whatever tricks you have!"

"I'm not afraid of your Grandpa Zhang!"

"Why!"

The fair-skinned man looked at Zhang Xinnian and sighed softly, "Stubborn to the end!"

As he spoke, the fair-skinned man looked at the man who had just attacked and shook his head, saying, "Sigh, let's keep hitting him!"

"Keep drawing lots until he agrees to sign, and don't stop during that time!"

As he spoke, the fair-skinned man glanced at Zhang Xinnian and said, "If he dies from smoking, and something goes wrong, I'll take the blame!!"

"It's an adult!"

The man responded, stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Xinnian by the collar, and pulled him up from the ground.

Zhang Xinnian still smiled: "Come on, your grandpa Zhang, if you utter a sound, you win!"

The fair-skinned man looked at Zhang Xinnian and shook his head helplessly.

In fact, he could have easily forced Zhang Xinnian to sign the document.

That's right, it's just pressing a fingerprint, it's not difficult.

But that's pointless!

He enjoys watching these tough guys gradually be broken down and eventually bow their heads and willingly sign the papers.

That's how...it becomes more interesting.

However, just as the man raised his hand, preparing to slap Zhang Xinnian's face, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a servant stumbled in.

The servant's face was filled with terror.

He nearly tripped and fell as he entered: "Sir, something...something's happened, something's happened!"

"The people from the Zhenbei Marquis's residence have arrived!"

As he spoke, the servant's voice trembled.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhang Xinnian, who was listening nearby, immediately brightened up: "My young master is here!"

After speaking, Zhang Xinnian's gaze fell on the fair-skinned man: "Hmph, let's see what you do next!"

"Oh, so you're here."

Upon hearing this, the fair-skinned man didn't seem too flustered. He looked at the servant who had brought the message and said, "Have the people from the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence wait outside."

"Let me finish this cup of tea before they come in!"

"Young master, no..."

The messenger opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, he had already spoken.

boom!

Suddenly, a deafening sound came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a voice rang out outside the Ministry of Justice: "Come on, surround the entire Ministry of Justice!"

"If even a fly flies out, it'll have to go back and get a beating!"

"yes!"

The resounding voices rang out almost simultaneously, causing the entire Ministry of Justice hall to tremble slightly.

Ok?

The teacup in the fair-skinned man's hand froze in mid-air, his expression one of disbelief.

Zhao Sheng also suddenly raised his head.

Isn't this commotion outside a bit too loud?!

Wow, just how many people from the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence have arrived?!

Before they could figure it out, a dense and orderly sound of footsteps pressed in from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of armored figures rushed into the Ministry of Justice like a tidal wave.

Upon seeing this, the guards of the Ministry of Justice all changed their expressions and began to retreat, eventually gathering outside the main hall of the Ministry of Justice.

But soon, the main hall of the Ministry of Justice was also occupied by soldiers from the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion.

At first glance, it was a dark, dense mass.

That would have been fine, but they could clearly hear the footsteps continuing to ring out.

Clearly, there were still people rushing in.

Gudong!

In the Ministry of Justice, over a hundred guards had cold sweat beading on their foreheads, and their hands gripping their knives began to tighten.

Some of the more timid ones were trembling with fear.

That's right, there were over a hundred of them. Facing this massive, dark army, what a joke!

Inside the lobby.

Zhao Sheng stood up in shock.

The fair-skinned man also looked outside in shock.

"Haha, that was awesome, so awesome!"

Although Zhang Xinnian was still being held by the collar by the man, he was laughing heartily and his expression was extremely excited.

How many people did his young master bring here!

It must be at least five thousand, right?!

As he was thinking this, the outer military formation suddenly parted slowly, and a horse trotted in.

On horseback, Tang Ningshuang sat in front, and Jiang Xiaobai sat behind.

As the horse stopped, Jiang Xiaobai looked embarrassed.

Yes, how do I dismount?

Just then, Tang Ningshuang grabbed the reins, pushed off the ground, grabbed his clothes, and landed off the horse.

Jiang Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief after his feet touched the ground.

After quickly straightening his sleeves, Jiang Xiaobai slowly walked towards the main hall of the Ministry of Justice.

When he got to the front, Jiang Xiaobai looked up.

Upon seeing the more than one hundred guards from the Ministry of Justice, all brandishing swords, he frowned and said, "Throw away your weapons!"

"Otherwise, kill them all, one by one!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the military formation behind him erupted in an instant.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Not only in the front yard, but also the 30,000 soldiers surrounding the Ministry of Justice outside shouted at the same time.

The sound was so loud that the building of the Ministry of Justice trembled slightly.

All the guards in the Ministry of Justice turned pale, and one of them quickly succumbed to the pressure and threw away his knife.

Those behind them saw this and started throwing things too.

In the blink of an eye, all the guards were standing there empty-handed.

Yes, we can't beat them, we simply can't beat them!

With that kind of momentum, let alone taking action, just standing here would make my legs go weak.

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Marquis's mansion immediately stepped forward and separated all the guards from the Ministry of Justice.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction, then lifted his foot and walked into the lobby.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Zhang Xinnian in the corner.

At this moment, Zhang Xinnian had a bruised and swollen face, and his clothes were tattered, making him look rather pitiful.

However, those eyes were quite bright.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, Zhang Xinnian grinned.

Jiang Xiaobai was relieved to see that the guy was alright.

Zhang Xinnian, though usually a tiger, still managed to laugh even after being beaten like this, which shows he's got guts.

"new year!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Zhang Xinnian and said, "This young master... isn't late, is he?"

"Your Highness, it's not too late!!"

Hearing these words of concern, Zhang Xinnian, who had been holding back, instantly broke down: "Waaaaah, it's not too late at all!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xinnian, with tears streaming down his face, said, "You've come at just the right time!"

After saying that, Zhang Xinnian raised his hand, trembling as he pointed to the fair-skinned man in the hall: "This is the guy who detained me!"

"You must stand up for your subordinate!"

"Oh, don't worry, I've brought an army of 30,000 today!"

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, her gaze fell upon the fair-skinned man, and she said softly, "I'm here specifically to stand up for you!"

"Thirty...thirty thousand?"

Zhang Xinnian looked up in shock.

The fair-skinned man and Zhao Sheng also changed color instantly!

Thirty thousand?

Are you kidding me?!
