Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Not long after, Captain Wang hurried back and replied, "Sir, we've investigated and found out. She's Mr. Li, the great benefactor, also known as Liu Zhang, the ninth concubine Yun Zhonghe took in last month. Taking advantage of Yun Zhonghe's busy taking in concubines today and not keeping as strict a watch on her as usual, she escaped from the mansion and is planning to file a complaint with the Thousand Households Office."

As he spoke, he handed over a blood-stained petition.

Song Xuan moved his fingers and the petition fell into his hands.

Some of the words on the petition were stained with blood and could no longer be seen clearly, but the content could still be basically understood.

The above records the various crimes committed by the kind-hearted Li, including raping and murdering thirteen members of Liu Zhang's husband's family, and occupying the Liu family's land, shops, and money.

Seeing that Song Xuan didn't say anything, Captain Wang continued, "Sir, we just checked and found that Liu Zhang was over six months pregnant. On her way to file a complaint, she was hit and killed by a horseman. Two lives were lost."

Song Xuan withdrew his gaze from the complaint and asked indifferently, "Where is the perpetrator?"

"what?"

Captain Wang was stunned. What the hell?

"What's the origin of the horse that hits people?"

Captain Wang hurriedly said, "The person who hit the man has already fled on horseback, but a passerby saw the direction he fled. If we want to track him down, it shouldn't be difficult."

Song Xuan nodded, put the petition away, and took a deep breath.

"I'll give you one hour to bring him back to me, dead or alive!"

Captain Wang's face showed a trace of confusion. "Sir, this is a murder case between ordinary citizens. How about notifying the prefectural government first?"

Song Xuan didn't say anything, just looked at the other person coldly.

Captain Wang shuddered, feeling as if his head was about to move, and immediately panicked. He knew that this unfathomable Inspector General was a ruthless character who could take people's lives with just a look!

He immediately said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir, I will be back in less than an hour!"

After Captain Wang left, Song Xuan moved and the next moment, he appeared on the street outside the yamen.

Not far away, Liu Zhang's face was covered with a white cloth, and outside the Qianhu Suo Yamen, a professional coroner was performing an autopsy.

On the roadside, many people were watching and whispering.

"This Liu Zhang was also a miserable person. In the end, she couldn't escape death."

"Alas, she was a fierce woman who wanted to seek justice for her husband's family. It's a pity that she couldn't get close to the Xuanyiwei Qianhu Suo Yamen in the end."

"It's useless. All crows are black, and officials protect each other. Even if she goes to the Qianhu Suo Yamen, she probably won't be able to redress her grievances."

"There's nothing we can do. The backer behind Mr. Li is the prefect. Liu Zhang is just a commoner. If he dies, then so be it. How could the Black Guards become enemies with the prefect over a dead person?"

"Forget it, this is the way the world is, let's just make do with it."

"That Li guy is a pervert. He even doesn't let pregnant women go. If you have pregnant women at home, please keep a close eye on them and try not to go out!"

Watching Liu Zhang's body being carried onto the cart, Song Xuan stood there and looked up at the sky.

He has actually seen this kind of situation many times.

Not to mention this feudal world, even in the democratic society before he traveled through time, it was common for the rich and powerful to oppress the people.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. No matter what the society is like, it is impossible to completely eliminate such bullying.

Of course, it’s one thing to understand, but it’s fine if you haven’t seen it or not to know it. But since it’s happening right in front of him, Song Xuan can’t just ignore it.

Not long after, Captain Wang led several Xuanyiwei generals and captured a man in luxurious clothes.

This man was not very old, looking less than thirty years old, with a look of rebellion on his face. When he saw Song Xuan, he even sneered.

"Sir, are you stretching your hand too far? I just accidentally bumped into someone while riding my horse. What does this have to do with you, the Xuanyi Guard?"

Song Xuan glanced at Captain Wang and said, "Let him kneel down and talk!"

Captain Wang understood what the Inspector meant. He looked around at the people watching on the streets, gritted his teeth, raised his hands and slapped out with two palms.

There were two cracking sounds, and the opponent's knees were directly broken. He fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, letting out a shrill and painful roar.

Song Xuan walked up to him, casting a huge shadow, looking down at him, as if he was the King of Hell from the underworld, scanning the fresh local specialties.

"Who asked you to do this?" His voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard.

"what?"

The man was covered in cold sweat and gritted his teeth, "What are you talking about, sir? I just ran into someone because my horse got scared. At most, I can pay you back. Are you trying to force me to confess and abuse my power?"

Song Xuan chuckled, "You've given me a heads-up."

He ordered Captain Wang, "Bring the torture instruments from the yamen and give this young man a full-body torture!"

Captain Wang swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, is it right here? Otherwise, why don't we take him to the imperial prison first?"

Song Xuan shook his head slightly, "Right here!"

Captain Wang did not dare to disobey the order. Soon, all kinds of tortures in the imperial prison were performed one by one on the street outside the Qianhu Suo Yamen, and screams and wails were heard continuously. The onlookers were really enlightened.

Of course, they were really afraid, but no one left because of fear. Instead, they clapped and cheered excitedly. It was obvious that they hated the so-called great man Li.

"Sir, the confessions have been collected. It was directed by that great man Li."

Captain Wang handed over the confession.

Song Xuan just glanced at him, then nodded indifferently, "Catch him! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Sir, how should we explain this to the prefect?"

"Explain?"

Song Xuan glanced at Captain Wang. This guy was obedient, but he had lost his ruthlessness due to being suppressed by the prefect over the years. He was timid and the ruthlessness of the Xuanyiwei had been completely worn out in him.

"What explanation do you want? Give him the honor of calling him prefect, otherwise just bury him!"

Chapter 293 I don’t need a backer, I am my own backer!

At this moment, in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground came.

Dozens of war horses were lined up in three rows and galloping wildly on the street. Leading them was a man who was extremely tall but very thin, like a bamboo pole, and his face was also scary.

"Captain Wang, you are so capable! You dare to touch my people!"

The thin, bamboo-like man reined in his white horse as he approached the Xuanyiwei Yamen and looked around with interest.

"It was supposed to be a happy occasion for me to take in a concubine, but you ruined my mood. How do you think we should resolve this?"

Captain Wang stood beside Song Xuan and whispered, "Sir, he is Yun Zhonghe, also known as the great scholar Li."

Song Xuan nodded. "This is the first time I've seen someone so ugly!"

"Hey boy, who are you calling ugly? Don't think I can't hear you just because you speak so softly!"

Song Xuan glanced sideways at him, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He pointed at the hit-and-run driver lying on the ground, tortured beyond recognition, and said, "You just said this is your man?"

"So what?"

Yun Zhonghe didn't care much about Song Xuan. He thought that he was probably the son of some powerful family. He read some old books and learned a lot of morality. He wanted to stand up for the dead bitch in a fit of rage!

"Kid, you have to understand, there are always some people in this world you can't afford to offend. Forcing yourself to stand out will only bring disaster to your family!"

"You are dressed elegantly and have a noble demeanor. I guess your family must be of some status, but so what? Could the person behind you be more powerful than the prefect?"

Song Xuan looked at the arrogant Yun Zhonghe. He didn't expect that Yun Zhonghe, one of the four famous villains in the world, would be so willing to be a lackey for the government.

From this, we can also see the extent of the power of the governor Zhao Kuangyin in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is estimated that most of the famous masters in the world have been recruited by him.

"I never compare my support with others! Because I am the supporter myself!"

Song Xuan waved his sleeves, and Yun Zhonghe's body floated up uncontrollably, as if an invisible hand had pinched his neck and hung him in mid-air.

With a snap of his fingers, invisible energy surged, and Yun Zhonghe's legs exploded without warning. Blood and flesh fragments flew out like hidden weapons, splashing all over the dozens of his men beside him.

"what!!"

Many people fell off their horses, their bodies covered with wounds, and more than half of them were beaten into sieves.

This sudden scene really scared everyone.

Not to mention the onlookers, even Captain Wang subconsciously took a step back.

He knew that the Inspector General was a ruthless person, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

No matter who you are or who has your backing, they will just kill you without restraint, without caring about the rules of officialdom at all.

But I have to say, it’s really fun to watch!

It has been a long time since their Qianhu Division has been so proud and decisive in killing!

"Evil creature, you are so vicious at such a young age!"

Rumble!

In the distance, a group of people dressed as government detectives came riding on horses. Among them, a burly man who looked like the head of the detective shouted sternly, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed with a clang, pointing at Song Xuan from a distance.

"To injure a wealthy businessman in this city in the street is a heinous crime, you evil thief, why don't you surrender immediately!"

The people who were originally watching saw the constables from the government office come out, and suddenly there was a commotion, the crowd dispersed and hid far away.

Obviously, for the common people, government officials are far more terrifying than the Xuanyi Guards.

Song Xuan looked at Captain Wang meaningfully.

Captain Wang's old face turned red.

The reputation of the Xuanyi Guards is not as intimidating to the people as that of the government detectives, which is quite shameful.

Song Xuan pointed at the pregnant woman, Liu Zhang, lying on the cart and said to the captain, "This is also a human life. Did you see it?"

The captain snorted coldly, "She's just a concubine of the Li family, not the legal wife. If she dies, she dies. The worst that can happen is that she has to pay a fine. How can that be compared to the safety of Master Li?"

"What you said makes sense!"

Song Xuan's expression was calm. "She was a concubine, not presentable. Her death was in vain. Similarly, in my eyes, you petty officials who assisted the tiger are also small minions who are not presentable. Your death was in vain!"

"You evil thief, you're looking for death!"

The captain shouted angrily. He could see that the young man in front of him had an extraordinary background, but so what? The prefect was standing behind him. No matter who he was, he would destroy him first!

He suddenly attacked, his innate true energy flowing on the long sword. As the sword came out, the sky was filled with sword shadows like a violent storm, sweeping towards Song Xuan in wave after wave, covering his entire body.

The violent sword energy surged, making a hissing sound of friction in the air. It was so powerful that even Captain Wang did not dare to resist it.

Song Xuan once again had a clear understanding of the strength of the Northern Song government.

Even a small yamen constable has the cultivation of a congenital warrior, and judging from the degree of condensation of his sword energy, he should have condensed the flower of energy.

The sword technique was powerful and the sword energy was violent and heavy. It was obvious that he had profound martial arts skills. This person was definitely a disciple from a big sect.

Song Xuan didn't even look at him. He opened his mouth and spit out sword energy like a red lightsaber. A red light flashed, and with a swish sound, it pierced the captain's chest directly.

The burly and strong captain of the police screamed in shock, and was carried away by the force of the sword. The long sword in his hand flew out of his hand and was grasped by Song Xuan.

Song Xuan took a look at the knife in his hand. The material was good. It must have been mixed with some black iron fragments during forging. It was considered a good knife.

With a casual wave of his hand, the long knife in his hand flew out, and with a flash of cold light, the captain of the police station in the government office was pierced through the chest by the long knife again before he even hit the ground. As a result, he was nailed to the wooden pillar opposite.

"You, how dare you..."

The captain of the police, whose name was not even announced yet, had a look of fear and despair on his face. He pointed at Song Xuan, gasped with a hissing sound, screamed, and lowered his head, completely dead.

Until his death, he could not believe that someone in Sichuan and Chongqing actually dared to kill him!

Is he really not afraid of the prefect's revenge?

You have to know that behind the prefect, there are not only two master-level priests recruited from the underworld, but also the support of the governor. In this Songzhou territory, where on earth did he get the courage to kill officials in the street!

In the blink of an eye, Yun Zhonghe was deposed, the head of the government office was killed, and a bunch of small minions also died. No one dared to judge how strong Song Xuan was, but his decisiveness in killing and ruthless means really shocked the onlookers.

At this moment, the whole street was silent.

Song Xuan looked around coldly.

Very good, the achievement of hacking down a street has been achieved!

Chapter 294 Let’s Charge Him with Rebellion First

The streets were silent, and for a moment, the only sound was the whistling autumn wind.

Even after killing a few minor characters, Song Xuan's murderous intent did not subside.
