"Carrying a coffin? It's in line with his youthful vigor."
"Besides being good at fighting, An Yuanbo has no other skills, but his son is indeed an outstanding talent. He is a 19-year-old Grandmaster, the only one in the world. Even the four great Grandmasters are not as good as him. Although I haven't met him yet, I have a feeling that he must be a very charming man who can make women fascinated by him."
Throwing the scissors in her hand to the maid, she walked to the bed and lay down on her side gracefully and naturally.
"The Grand Master has taken action. It seems that the families of Huang Shilang from the Ministry of Justice will not be able to escape tonight."
"Your Highness, this is Kyoto after all, under the feet of the emperor. Even if you are a great master, you can't slaughter court officials at will, right?"
The maid's words made Li Yunrui laugh wildly again.
"That's because you haven't seen the Grand Master's methods, and you don't know His Majesty's character. Let alone a mere Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, even if the Minister of Justice was killed by the Grand Master, His Majesty wouldn't say anything. The Grand Master is one country for one, do you really think it's just a rumor?"
"What's more, this is a young Grandmaster, a Grandmaster who has not yet reached adulthood. He is so amazingly talented that he makes people astonished and afraid. Our Majesty is so smart, would he offend him for those people?"
Li Yunrui knew very well what kind of person Emperor Qing was. He always put profit first. How could he offend a young grandmaster with unlimited potential and a great reputation just for the sake of a few court officials' families?
"Zhou Chen is a grandmaster who is younger and more promising than Ye Liuyun. If we can win him over, then..."
Li Yunrui is an ambitious woman. With a genius like Zhou Chen right in front of her, how could she not want to recruit him?
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince, the two most competitive princes for the throne, were also staring at Zhou Chen, but the Crown Prince was more gloating because the Vice Minister of Justice was the Second Prince's man.
At exactly 12 o'clock in the morning, the team carrying the coffin arrived at the Huang Mansion and stopped suddenly.
The culprits who led to the annihilation of Lao Dou's family were a few playboys headed by the young master of the Huang family.
The door to the Huang Mansion was locked and there was no sound around, making it seem extremely quiet and gloomy.
With such a big scene at the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, how could the Huang family, as the culprit, not know about it? During this time, they also made preparations.
"Master, we're here."
Zhou Chen in the carriage ordered, "Surround them. No dog is allowed to escape without my order."
"Yes."
The men in black quickly divided into two teams and surrounded the Huang Mansion from front to back.
"Star Guards, listen up! Break down the door and pull everyone out of the Huang Mansion."
"Yes."
The Eighteen Constellations responded loudly and then rushed towards the Huang Mansion. The door of the Huang Mansion was easily smashed open by them, and then they rushed into the mansion to arrest people.
In an instant, there was a commotion in the Huang Mansion, with screams, cries, crying, and cursing coming one after another, creating a complete chaos.
Soon, one after another, people were pulled out by the Eighteen Constellations. They were scolded and made to squat on the ground. Under the threat of swords and knives, the crying people dared not make a sound anymore.
As several people in brocade clothes were forcibly dragged out, they were shouting angrily, but the Eighteen Constellations didn't tolerate them at all. They slapped them several times, leaving them with bruises and swollen faces and blood spitting out of their mouths.
"I am an official appointed by the imperial court, the Minister of Justice, a third-rank official. How dare you, a savage, commit such a crime in the foothills of Kyoto? I must report you to His Majesty..."
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The Tiangangxing and Tianhuixing who captured him didn't care what he said at all. They only listened to Zhou Chen's orders. Not to mention a third-rank official, even if it was a prime minister, as long as Zhou Chen gave the order, they would beat him.
After being slapped several times, Minister Huang was stunned and his head was buzzing.
Tian Gangxing came to the carriage and reported: "My Lord, five people are missing, Minister Huang's eldest son, youngest son, and three grandsons."
"Got it. I've asked Sun Yi to catch him. He'll be back soon."
As if to verify his words, after a while, Sun Yi brought other stars here, and they were also escorting a group of people who looked like they had lost their lives.
Sun Yi came to report as soon as possible.
"Master, the eldest son, the youngest son, and the three grandsons of the Huang family have all been brought here, as well as the two families of the two playboys who persecuted Old Dou's daughter."
Zhou Chen lifted the curtain and slowly walked down from the carriage. Suddenly, everyone looked at him.
The Huang family, the Wei family, and the Ma family, a total of three families, were now all being held together by the Star Guards, with more than forty people. As for the servants and maids of the Huang family, they were all driven aside.
He waved his hand, and the coffin bearers immediately placed the coffins on the open space in front of the three families. There were a total of ten coffins, neatly placed together.
Seeing the ten coffins, the three families were all terrified. They all knew why they were captured, but they didn't expect that Zhou Chen was so bold as to completely ignore Kyoto and the law and forcibly capture people.
The group of black-clad men in front of them were so terrifying. They did resist when they were captured, but the other party was very brutal and killed without blinking an eye. Countless guards and guardians at home who resisted were killed or injured, but they still could not stop them from being captured.
Minister Huang was forced to kneel down, with large swollen patches on both sides of his face, but he still shouted angrily.
"I am an official appointed by the imperial court, a third-rank official. How dare you punish me privately? What do you think of the laws of Qing Kingdom?"
Zhou Chen walked over with a cold gaze and looked down at him.
"You still have the nerve to talk to me about the law?"
"you……"
"Shut his mouth."
Minister Huang wanted to speak, but Zhou Chen didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he had someone cover his mouth and then turned to look to the other side.
Not far away, a team of city guards were rushing towards the Huang Mansion. Zhou Chen and his team had attracted countless people's attention all the way from Anyuan Earl's Mansion to the Huang Mansion, but no one dared to stop them. This team of city guards also rushed here after receiving orders.
The leading general shouted loudly: "Faster, faster!"
Suddenly, the warhorse he was sitting on neighed, and in front of the general's terrified face, he saw something suddenly fly out of the dark sky and nailed to the ground in front of him.
He reined in his horse in horror, cold sweat pouring down his body. If he had moved forward a little bit, he would have died.
Just as he was still in shock, a cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
"Whoever crosses this sword will die!"
I'm sorry. I drank until about five in the morning last night and blacked out. I still have a headache now. Drinking has delayed things, so I will only update once today. I have to go out of town early tomorrow morning for something, so I guess I won't be home until very late. If I really don't have time to update tomorrow, I'll let you know in advance.
Chapter 1431: Blood debt paid with blood, fighting evil with evil
The two hundred-man city guard army had to stop advancing when faced with the long sword that fell from the sky.
The warning came from nowhere, but the two hundred people present heard it very clearly.
The leading commander, after being frightened, showed anger on his face, his eyes fixed on the long sword nailed to the ground, his expression constantly changing.
He didn't say anything, and his men all stared at him, waiting for his decision.
The commander hesitated for a moment, thinking about why he came here. If he left just because he saw a sword and heard a warning, it would be difficult to explain afterwards.
"One person comes forward."
After giving an order, no one responded. The commander became furious and pointed at a person behind him, ordering him to move forward. The soldier did not dare to disobey the order and could only move forward cautiously.
The soldier slowly came to the side of the sword. He didn't even know who the enemy was, but the Flying Sword was too intimidating and the warning was still ringing in his ears. How could he not be nervous?
He took a breath and stepped over the sword, but at the moment he stepped over the sword, before the expression on his face could change, his body suddenly exploded and turned into a bloody mist.
This sudden scene frightened all the city guards, especially the leader, who was still in shock and had a face full of fear.
Fortunately, he was calm and asked his men to check it out first. If he had rushed over recklessly, he would have been the one to be killed.
The deputy general beside him whispered, "Sir, how about we charge forward together?"
The commander said coldly: "Okay, you will lead."
This sentence silenced the deputy general. After a long while, he said again: "Then let's change direction?"
"Change your ass, I don't want to die yet."
The commander's face turned grim and he shouted curses. He was ordered to help Huang Shilang's family out of trouble, but he never thought of sacrificing his own life.
In this situation, they hadn't even seen anyone, but there were already casualties. If they continued to move forward, who knows what would happen, so he made a decisive decision.
No matter how big the world is, it is not as important as your own life.
What's more, he had a reason. He was stopped by a mysterious master, right? Everyone can testify for him.
In front of Minister Huang's mansion, the one who just swung out the sword was naturally Zhou Chen. After killing the chicken to scare the monkey, he didn't care about it anymore and turned his gaze back to the people from the three families who were kneeling together.
"Pull those three people out."
Suddenly, the three young masters who had brought harm to the daughter of the old Dou family were brought up.
Huang Chengyun, Wei Chi, Ma Wei, these three young masters are the culprits who harmed Lao Dou's family. If they had not harmed Lao Dou's daughter, the subsequent tragedy would not have happened.
Zhou Chen walked to the coffin of the youngest daughter of the Dou family. Huang Chengyun and the other two young masters were also pulled here and forced to kneel on the ground by the Star Guards.
Zhou Chen looked at them coldly and said, "I am a fair person. The daughter of the Dou family was insulted by you, so I will give you a chance. Kneel down and kowtow. As long as she says she forgives you, I can spare your lives."
The three young masters, who were already frightened, were stunned when they heard Zhou Chen's words.
How can we forgive them when they are dead?
But Zhou Chen didn't give them any room to refuse and gave orders to the Star Guards.
"If they are unwilling to cooperate, then you can help them and kowtow, unless Miss Dou says in person that she forgives them."
"Knock it to death."
Xing Wei did not say anything and started to execute Zhou Chen's order. He held down the heads of Huang Weima and the other two young masters and smashed them to the ground.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The Star Guard showed these three people what it means to really kowtow to the ground and beg for forgiveness. His forehead hit the ground with a clanging sound, accompanied by miserable cries for mercy.
After just a few kowtows, the foreheads of the three men were already stained red with blood, and the ground was also stained red, but the Star Guards still had no intention of stopping. They were like machines, executing Zhou Chen's orders. If Miss Dou didn't say anything, they would kowtow to death.
The people from the three families of Huang, Wei and Ma were all frightened by the bloody scene, especially the women, who were so terrified that they hugged each other for warmth, as if that would make them feel better.
As for the other men, many of them shouted and cursed loudly, but every time they cursed, they would be slapped hard by the Star Guards. The scene was bloody and chaotic, with all kinds of shouting and screaming.
"It's noisy!"
As soon as Zhou Chen said this, someone stepped forward and took action. The person who had just shouted was beaten into silence. The three young men who kowtowed also had their mouths pinched, and could only make weak sounds.
"Minister Huang, Imperial Censor Wei, and Doctor Ma, right?"
As he called out the three men's names, the Star Guards pulled them from the crowd to the front of the crowd and made them kneel in front of the ten coffins.
"Have you seen these coffins? Just because of your son, a family of ten was brutally exterminated. As an official appointed by the court, you eat and drink from the people, and in the end you take his life. Is this how you serve as an official?"
"woo woo woo woo……"
The three officials struggled hard, but because their mouths were blocked, they could only make whimpering sounds, with expressions of fear and anxiety on their faces.
But Zhou Chen didn't want to listen to their excuses and continued talking.
"Of course, since you have raised a son like this, you are probably not much better. I am not an official, so I will not punish you according to the law. For people like you, forgiveness and repentance are not acceptable to me, so blood debts must be paid with blood."
Tong Quan behind him suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Master, those three beasts can't hold on any longer?"
Zhou Chen didn't even look at that side, and said in a cold voice: "Don't I understand what I said? If Miss Dou doesn't forgive me, then I'll kowtow to death. If I die, throw my body to feed the dogs. Go back and have someone make three statues of them kneeling and kowtowing in their image, and place them in front of Miss Dou's tomb, and continue to kowtow."
"woo woo woo woo……"
After hearing this, Minister Huang and the other two sobbed again. They were obviously unable to accept Zhou Chen's vicious behavior that hurt their son, but how could Zhou Chen care whether they accepted it or not?
Zhou Chen looked at them and said coldly: "This is just a punishment for the three of them, but their lives alone are not enough to pay for the lives of the ten people in Lao Dou's family."
"I am a fair person. Since you killed ten people in the Dou family, you should give them twenty lives. There are more than forty blood relatives in your three families. I only want twenty lives and will not destroy your family. Obviously, you have made a profit."
"Woooo..."
The eyes of Minister Huang and the other two turned red with excitement. When the Huang, Wei and Ma families heard what Zhou Chen said, they were so frightened that they trembled all over.
At this point, they still don't understand the situation. These people are extremely bold, yet powerful and all-powerful. They have been longing for the rescue, but they haven't seen any of it yet. How can they not despair?
"I told you, I am fair. I will not choose among the twenty lives. I will let you three heads of the family choose for yourselves."
Zhou Chen made a gesture, and the things in Huang Shilang and the other two's mouths were taken out, and they were finally able to speak.
"you……"
Just as Censor Wei was about to curse, he was slapped to the ground. Minister Huang and Doctor Ma were so scared that they were forced to swallow the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
"If you say one more word of nonsense or curse one more time, I will add another life. I want to see if you care about the lives of your loved ones."
Minister Huang and Doctor Ma were so frightened that they dared not speak. However, Censor Wei, who was knocked to the ground, seemed to have gone mad and kept cursing regardless of the threats.
"You little brat..."
"I keep my word, Sun Yi."
Sun Yi immediately walked into the crowd and pulled out a man from Wei Yushi's family. He ignored the man's pleas for mercy and cut the body in half with a knife.
"Heng'er..."
