Chapter 141 A Person Who Knows Goods

"Quick, go call the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau!"

Yamen Captain could no longer care about saving face and immediately shouted.

In fact, having been 'rubbed against the ground' in public, he had long since lost all face. This humiliation left him deeply unbalanced, and he desperately needed to get back at them.

The other constables were also crying out in misery internally.

They would have liked to sneak away to call the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau, but they had to look at the current situation.

Once that female Immortal Master's Realm aura was released, not only Yamen Captain, but all the constables were 'frozen in place', completely unable to move.

Being able to speak was already a sign of mercy from the other party!

"My Lord! My Lord, please show mercy! Please show mercy!"

Meanwhile.

An elderly man with white hair, dressed in official robes, arrived tardily.

However, after sensing the tense atmosphere, his old, cold-sensitive legs couldn't help but go weak, and he secretly prayed that the situation hadn't developed into an irreversible state.

"And who might you be?"

Mu An glanced at him.

"I... I am Liu Gongzheng, the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture..."

Liu Gongzheng squeezed a flattering smile onto his aged face.

He had previously been preparing to visit the Ninth Princesss Residence and had already prepared all sorts of treasures and gifts.

He wanted to align himself with Xiao Qingzhu early to secure his position in the imperial court for the future.

Unexpectedly, an informant suddenly reported that a major incident had occurred at the yamen, and Yamen Captain had provoked an extraordinary Immortal Master.

Liu Gongzheng hadn't taken it to heart at first; having been an official for so many years, he had seen Immortal Masters causing trouble in the capital before, and it was enough to let the Demon Suppression Bureau handle it.

But the informant had very urgently indicated that it was the lord from that portrait.

Hearing this, Liu Gongzheng's heart skipped a beat.

After seeing the Imperial Son-in-law beside the Ninth Princess display his Divine Might on the martial arts arena with his own eyes, he had someone draw Mu An's likeness the very same day he returned. It wasn't to be placed on an altar to pray for blessings, but to ensure everyone under his command would memorize this face, lest they accidentally offend this lord in the future.

He never expected that what he feared yesterday would come true today.

In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, he hurriedly drove to the scene.

Because he was so flustered when getting into the carriage, he was even so frightened that he lost one of his shoes!

"Are these people under your jurisdiction?"

"Then do you recognize this token? That guy said this was a piece of trash token, and even said that no matter who came to stop him, he would still arrest the person he wanted!"

Mu An smiled slightly.

He thought to himself that an old thing who 'knew his goods' had finally arrived.

When Liu Gongzheng saw the token, his old eyes widened, and his soul was almost scared out of his body.

human emperors token?

It was actually the human emperors token!

Your Majesty actually bestowed such a precious item upon him?

The significance of this was self-evident!

"Uncle Liu, they are bullying me too much, you must seek justice for me!!"

Upon seeing Liu Gongzheng, Yamen Captain acted as if he had seen a life-saving straw and hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.

It was clear that he still hadn't read the current situation and was still clamoring wildly.

"Shut up! I don't have a nephew like you!"

"And in official circles, you must address me by my title! Public is public, private is private; stop trying to establish a personal connection!"

Upon hearing the words of that idiot Yamen Captain, Liu Gongzheng immediately straightened his face and reprimanded him sternly.

It looked like he was being impartial, but in reality, he was frantically trying to distance himself, fearing that he might get burned.

Mu An didn't care about their superficial family relations and just asked indifferently.

"Why don't you kneel when you see this token?"

With a thud.

Liu Gongzheng could no longer withstand the pressure; his knees went weak, and he knelt directly.

To the side.

Yamen Captain was dumbfounded.

He didn't understand why Uncle Liu, who had always doted on him, would suddenly treat him with such coldness.

He understood even less why he had suddenly knelt before that man.

One had to know that Liu Gongzheng was a high-ranking third-grade official in the imperial court. To make him kneel willingly, apart from the current Your Majesty, there was almost no one else.

But this young man before him certainly couldn't be Your Majesty, so there was only one possibility...

Yamen Captain's dull gaze gradually shifted to the token in Mu An's hand.

[He... wasn't lying just now?]

[This token really has a huge background?!]

Even at this point, he still didn't feel regret in the first instance; instead, a thought emerged from the bottom of his heart.

[Why?]

"You arrested my people; I'm taking them away now, no problem, right?"

After the token had fulfilled its intended purpose, Mu An casually tossed it back into Renée's hands.

This scene made Liu Gongzheng's eyelids twitch, his heart pounding in fear, but he didn't dare to say anything more on this matter and could only nod repeatedly in agreement.

"It should be done! It should be done!"

Having said that.

He immediately straightened his face, pointed at the constables, and scolded angrily.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring over the person who was wrongly arrested!"

"If you delay things, you won't have enough heads to be beheaded!"

Even though Liu Gongzheng was still kneeling on the ground and looked somewhat disheveled, his official tone for ordering people around was extremely practiced and full of airs.

At this moment, Renée also cooperatively released her control over the constables.

Except for that guy Yamen Captain, who was still continuously suffering from the torture of the Spiritual Qi pressure, his heart filled with unspeakable misery.
