As he said that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the cell with an arrogant look on his face. He waved to the monkey and said, "Skinny monkey, come with me to do something!"

The monkey glanced at Song Xuan, and seeing that the boss had no objection, he immediately followed Lu Xiaoliu and left the sky prison happily.

After the two of them walked away, Victoria Song walked up to Song Xuan and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what were you whispering to Xiaoliu just now?"

"I told him to go get some help!"

"Ah? You can leave this kind of thing to me!"

"no!"

Song Xuan shook his head. "You're not as smooth as Xiaoliu in dealing with people. Also, you must stay by my side and don't stray too far. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain to my parents!"

"You still treat me like a child?"

Song Qian muttered a little unhappy, but she knew that her brother's decision could not be changed. After snorting twice, she didn't mention it again.

"grown ups......"

After waiting for a long time, but Song Xuan still didn't speak, Sun Buer asked nervously, "Sir, can my wife be saved?"

Song Xuan had a kind smile on his face.

"As long as what you say is true, there is hope!"

"But if you commit fraud, I can send you to the King of Hell for tea that very day without waiting for the Ministry of Justice to issue a document!"

Chapter 14 Killing, we are professionals!

"Ye Dianshi, besides this case of adultery involving Sun Liu, have there been any similar cases in Huai'an County in recent years?"

After Lu Xiaoliu left, Song Xuan turned to look at Ye Dianshi outside the prison door.

"Have!"

Ye Dianshi didn't even need to check the files and said directly: "In the past three years, there have been eight cases of adultery recorded in the files in Huai'an County and its subordinate counties.

The files recorded these eight cases of young and beautiful young women having affairs with others. In five of them, the criminals were executed after being reviewed by the Ministry of Justice.

There were two other cases where the local clan enforced clan rules and secretly drowned the women in pig cages. Now, only Sun Liu is left alive."

Song Xuan asked again, "Can the adulterer be caught?"

Ye Dianshi shook his head. "In these cases, there were witnesses who saw the women committing adultery, but the adulterers were never caught!"

Song Xuan took a deep breath and his face turned cold.

Even Victoria Song understood what this meant.

"Brother, ordinary people would tolerate this kind of thing if they could, and wouldn't report it to the authorities at all. The cases that are recorded by the authorities are only a very small number, and the number that remains unrecorded is probably very large!"

Song Xuan nodded. "When you see cockroaches at home, it means there are countless cockroaches in the dark corners that you can't see!"

Victoria Song subconsciously clenched her fists. "You mean, those adultery cases were all committed by that flower-stealing thief, and someone in the government suppressed the matter and turned it into an adultery case?"

Song Xuan nodded and sneered, "Disguised as a man, playing with other people's wives, this guy is really unscrupulous!"

......

Lu Xiaoliu's social skills are still very good.

In the eyes of outsiders, the people in the Xuanyiwei Law Enforcement Department are all killers and extremely difficult to deal with.

But Xiao Liuzi had been gone for less than two hours when he arrived with a team of elite law enforcement officers riding war horses, wearing black Xuanyi robes and wearing black iron swords on their waists.

Song Xuan led Song Qian out of the cell quickly and greeted several people outside the prison.

As soon as they met, Song Xuan first clasped his fists and thanked Lu Xiaoliu, "Thank you for taking the trouble, Mr. Zhao, to come here in person!"

He emphasized the three words "Young Master Zhao" and Lu Xiaoliu raised his head in a very stylish manner. "Remember to say a few good words to my father when you go back. Let him know that I'm not just a second-generation rich kid who only knows how to eat and wait for death!"

"Easy to say! Easy to say!"

Song Xuan laughed and turned his gaze to look at the person leading the group of law enforcement officers.

This man was tall and slender, with bulging muscles on his arms. His palms were covered with calluses from years of sword practice. He was about thirty years old, but he looked like he had been through a lot, and his face looked a bit bitter.

Song Xuan clasped his fists and bowed warmly.

"My name is Song Xuan. May I know the name of this gentleman?"

"It turns out to be Lord Song!"

The head of the law enforcement department gave people the impression that he was a bit cold and not good at dealing with people, but in fact, it was indeed the case.

After a simple reply, the man stopped talking. It was not until a companion beside him quietly touched his arm that he came to his senses and added another sentence.

"My name is Shen Lian!"

"This time, I'm sorry to trouble you, Lord Shen!" Song Xuan smiled indifferently.

"Sir Song!" Shen Lian's smaller but more alert companion clasped his fists and bowed. "My General Shen is not good at speaking, please don't blame me, sir."

The ranks of the Xuanyi Guards are divided into three major levels: third class, second class, and first class.

Not to mention the third class, which is a position given to the children of nobles to make a living.

The second-class Xuanyi Guards are further divided into four levels: thousand households, hundred households, general flags, and small flags.

Generally, warriors recruited from the folk martial arts world start from small flags after joining the Xuanyiwei Yamen. Only after accumulating enough merits will they be eligible to be promoted to the general flag.

People like Song Xuan, who come from the imperial capital and have a background, and are directly under the Imperial Capital Inspection Office, can start as a general flag as long as they pass the second-class Xuanyiwei assessment.

So in terms of level, Song Xuan and Shen Lian are on the same level.

But he didn't put on airs and smiled gently, "You're too polite, brother. I asked you to help me this time, so how can I blame you? By the way, what's your name, brother?"

"I am Jin Yichuan, a subordinate of General Shen's banner. You can just call me Yichuan, sir!"

As he spoke, his expression grew serious. He glanced at Lu Xiaoliu and then said, "This Mr. Zhao said earlier that his life was in danger in Huai'an and he needed our help... Sir Song, where does this danger come from?"

He was a little confused. Not only him, but even Shen Lian looked puzzled.

In the territory of the Great Zhou, it has always been the Xuanyi Guards who have caused trouble for others, and few people dare to take the initiative to provoke the Xuanyi Guards. Where does this life-threatening danger come from?

Song Xuan smiled and said, "I have been ordered by Lord Zhao Dezhu, the chief officer of the Xuanyi Guard Inspection Division, to lead a team to Huai'an County to investigate a case of adultery among the people."

"Adultery case?"

Shen Lian and the others looked strange. When did the Xuanyi Guards become so idle? It was our turn to intervene in such a mess among the people?

"This case involves people from the underworld!" Song Xuan added.

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Lian and others, who had originally not taken it seriously, suddenly became serious.

The original intention of establishing the Xuanyi Guard was to check and balance the huge group of warriors in the martial arts world, so that the martial arts world and the imperial court could maintain a state of balance.

Generally speaking, the Xuanyiwei would not care if people in the martial arts world fought and killed each other. As long as they did not hurt innocent people or harm ordinary people, the Xuanyiwei would not interfere.

But if the people in the martial arts world are immoral and rely on their martial arts skills to attack ordinary people, then this involves the professional scope of their Xuanyi Guards.

At that moment, Song Xuan briefly recounted the details of the case, and then said in a deep voice: "The case is basically clear. The next step in the investigation will involve the identity of the flower thief.

That person's identity must be very unusual, most likely a family member of a local official. I'm worried that if I push them too far, they'll resort to extremes, so I have no choice but to ask my colleagues for help."

"It's my job, Sir Song, there's no need to be polite!"

Shen Lian was a man of decisive character. He drew out the long knife from his waist with a clang and said in a deep voice, "Handling cases is the job of the Inspection Department, but killing people is the domain of our Law Enforcement Department.

"Master Song, you don't need to tell me too much about the case. Just tell us who to kill next and how to find that flower thief!"

As soon as he finished speaking, behind him, more than 20 small flag officers of the Law Enforcement Department, who were riding on war horses, drew their long swords. They were silent, but the murderous intent in their eyes was not concealed at all.

Song Xuan, Song Qian and others looked at each other inconspicuously, and there was an inexplicable meaning in each of their eyes.

These people from the Law Enforcement Department are indeed very weird as rumored. They are all full of murderous intent, and I wonder how many people they have killed to develop such murderous nature.

Chapter 15: Drag him away and beat him up first!

In the solemn atmosphere, Song Xuan slowly spoke, "I don't know the identity of the flower-stealing thief yet, but it doesn't matter. The county magistrate who is trying the adultery case must know it!"

As he said this, he shouted into the prison.

"Daniu, bring Sun Buer and his wife out!"

"Okay!"

Inside the prison, the roar of a bull echoed like thunder. After a while, there were even sounds of fists colliding and bodies being thrown to the ground.

Soon, Da Niu's tall figure like an iron tower walked out from the prison door. He was seen holding Sun Buer and his wife, one in each hand, and walked out quickly.

"Good boy~~"

Jin Yichuan, who was originally full of murderous intent, subconsciously exclaimed in surprise when he saw the sturdy body of Da Niu, which cast a large shadow before he even got close.

"Master Song, is this your man?"

Shen Lian asked cautiously. The oppressive feeling given by Da Niu was too strong. This kind of person was obviously born with supernatural powers. If he practiced horizontal training kung fu, put on heavy armor, and held two heavy swords, he would be a human meat grinder on the battlefield!

"His name is Niu Mang, and he's from the Inspection Office!"

Song Xuan said it simply without further introduction, because behind Da Niu, Ye Dianshi had already run over angrily.

"Master Song, what do you mean by this? Why did your people rob the prison?"

Ye Dianshi's face looked extremely ugly. It was he who brought people to the Sky Prison, but the death row prisoner in the Sky Prison was kidnapped. If the higher-ups blamed him for this, he would be held heavily responsible.

"Means nothing!"

Song Xuan said with a smile: "This case is now under the control of the Xuanyi Guard. It is not appropriate to lock him up in the Huaian County Prison."

Ye Dianshi was helpless, "But he is a death row prisoner, he was taken away like this, what should I do..."

Before he could finish, Song Qian glared at him and said in a cold voice: "Ye Dianshi, let me tell you straight, we are worried about Sun and Liu being imprisoned in your Huai'an County prison!

I, the Xuanyi Guard, want to take people away, do you dare to stop me?"

Ye Dianshi didn't dare to speak, especially when he saw the more than twenty murderous Xuanyiwei cavalry on the street outside, he shut up and retreated tactfully.

Song Xuan stepped forward and saluted him with his fists clasped.

"Ye Dianshi, although we haven't known each other for long, I think you are a capable person. Huai'an County may be in great trouble soon. I would like to trouble you to lead your men to maintain public order in the city!"

"Ah... Oh, oh..."

Ye Dianshi nodded blankly, but saw Song Xuan climb onto his horse and waved to Song Qian and the others, "Let's go, I'll take you to kill someone!"

At this point in the investigation, it has been confirmed that the case involves people from the martial arts world. This is the core business of the Xuanyiwei, so Song Xuan no longer has any scruples and just starts working.

dong dong dong~~

On the streets, the sound of galloping horses was deafening. Many people in the city were frightened when they saw the Xuanyiwei cavalry rushing like a black cloud, and they dodged and trembled in fear.

When the dark column of cavalry disappeared at the end of the street, the people who had been hiding around came out onto the street and whispered to each other.

"Those people are the Xuanyi Guards, right? What happened?"

"Looking at the direction, it seems to be heading towards the county magistrate's residence. Could it be that the county magistrate is going to be in trouble?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. If you don't get caught, I'll definitely punish you later!"

"What are you afraid of? Those are the Xuanyi Guards who are specifically responsible for killing people. With such a group of killers heading straight to the County Magistrate's Mansion, do you think that fat guy can still survive?"

"Hey, brother, you seem quite knowledgeable. Aren't you afraid that the prefect will come after this disaster and cause trouble for you?"

"What are you afraid of? Someone in my family is an official in the imperial capital. I wouldn't be afraid of him!"

"So it's Master Jing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

.......

Outside the county magistrate's mansion, several yamen runners who were napping in the sun suddenly lost all sleepiness when they saw the group of ferocious-looking Black-robed guards, and their legs trembled with fear.

"Open the door!"

Song Xuan shouted coldly.

The yamen runners turned to look at the squad leader. The squad leader's mouth twitched, and without any hesitation, he opened the door of the government office very quickly and neatly.

Looking at the posture of the Xuanyiwei, if he dares to hesitate for a moment, he will probably lose his head in the next moment. Anyway, this group of people are going after the officials inside. Why should I, a small squad leader, risk my life for them?

As the gate opened, Song Xuan took the lead and rushed in on his horse.

There was a sudden uproar in the government compound. Without Song Xuan saying anything, Lu Xiaoliu and Shouhou rushed into a hall and captured an official.
