160: Ruthless? Tantamount to treason

Xie Weilou walked forward, looking at Du Wei with an indifferent expression: "Have you learned the rules?"

Du Wei endured the pain, gritting his teeth and saying, "I...I am an official of Jingzhao Prefecture. Those from Tianquan Division disregard the law and injure people arbitrarily. I will definitely report this to the Imperial Censorate..."

There was no ripple in Xie Weilou's eyes. He said indifferently, "Take him back to Tianquan Division and interrogate him thoroughly. If any capital offense is found, execute him directly."

"......"

Two Captians immediately stepped forward and directly apprehended Du Wei. They suddenly realized that working on cases with This Young Master was very satisfying!

Seeing this, Du Wei was completely terrified. He said with feigned courage, "I...I have the Xue family behind me...Do you dare to touch me?"

Slap!

Xie Weilou backhanded Du Wei across the face, directly knocking out the remaining teeth, and blood splattered.

"The Xue family? What can they do?"

Xie Weilou said faintly.

"Oh? Who dares to disrespect my Xue family?"

A displeased voice suddenly rang out. A young man dressed in a blue robe was walking over with his hands behind his back.

Beside him was a burly man dressed in a yamen runner's uniform with a saber at his waist.

"Young Master Xue Jie, quickly...quickly save me..."

When Du Wei saw the young man, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly called for help.

Xue Jie glanced at Xie Weilou and said with a haughty expression, "Xie Weilou, release Du Wei."

"......"

Xie Weilou looked at Xue Jie expressionlessly.

Xue Jie raised an eyebrow: "What? You, Xie Weilou, a Young Master who is merely a figurehead, don't even give face to my Guojiu Mansion? Do you still want to make a living in this Tianqi City?"

He then looked at the burly man next to him: "Commander Luo, someone injured an official of Jingzhao Prefecture on Jingzhao Prefecture's territory. How should this matter be handled?"

Commander Luo said in a sinister tone, "Harming an imperial official is a capital offense. I cannot control matters outside, but here in Jingzhao Prefecture, I will definitely handle this matter."

Under normal circumstances, he would naturally not dare to say such words.

But today, he had already climbed up to the Guojiu Mansion. If he performed well this time, he would certainly be able to get promoted quickly. He did not want to remain just a commander of Jingzhao Prefecture!

What about Tianquan Division?

With the second young master of the Guojiu Mansion backing him, he did not believe that the people of Tianquan Division would truly dare to act.

Xie Weilou took a step forward. He looked at Commander Luo and said faintly, "This Young Master is very curious, how can you, a mere commander of Jingzhao Prefecture, manage the affairs of Tianquan Division?"

Clang!

Commander Luo instantly drew the saber from his waist. He stared coldly at Xie Weilou and said, "Take another step forward, and don't blame This Commander for being merciless with his blade."

Xie Weilou said indifferently, "Obstructing Tianquan Division from handling a case and drawing a saber on a person from Tianquan Division is tantamount to rebellion. Kill him!"

Zhang Long's figure flashed, instantly appearing beside Commander Luo. The long saber in his hand was unsheathed, its blade glinting, and suddenly slashed across Commander Luo's neck.

Rip!

Commander Luo's head flew high, blood gushing out, and he immediately became a headless corpse.

Pretend?

Keep pretending!

Let's see if you die.

"......"

The scene was silent. The people of Jingzhao Prefecture stared blankly at Xie Weilou. Just kill him?

Are all people from Tianquan Division so brutal?

Indeed, the Prefect did not lie to them.

"This Young Master, the rebel has been executed."

Zhang Long put away his saber and respectfully saluted Xie Weilou.

"Well done."

Xie Weilou said faintly.

After Xue Jie reacted, he stared intently at Xie Weilou: "Xie Weilou, how dare you!"

Xie Weilou coldly swept a glance at Xue Jie, and instantly a big slap landed on him.

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out, Xue Jie was sent flying by a slap, his body fell to the ground, teeth falling out, and blood flowing.

"Ah..."

Xue Jie screamed, covering his face in pain.

Xie Weilou stepped forward, stomped on Xue Jie's chest, and said faintly, "A young master of the Guojiu Mansion, dares to call This Young Master by his name. Who gave you the courage?"

Boom!

After speaking, he stomped down suddenly.

"Ah..."

Xue Jie's nose and mouth bled, and he let out an even more agonizing scream. His body struggled incessantly, in extreme pain.

"So noisy!"

Xie Weilou kicked Xue Jie's body, sending him flying several meters. He said faintly, "Apprehend him too and take him back to Tianquan Division for interrogation."

Zhang Long was also impolite, directly stepping forward, grabbing Xue Jie, and throwing him to a Captian.

Xue Jie looked pained, his face full of venom as he stared at Xie Weilou: "Xie Weilou...if you dare to touch me, my father will definitely not let you go..."

"Is that so?"

Xie Weilou said carelessly.

He said to Zhao Hu, "Go bring Jiang Yu out."

"As you command."

Zhao Hu took a few Captians to the Dungeon.

Not long after.

Zhao Hu and the others brought out a woman covered in blood. Her ten fingers were bleeding, her fingernails had fallen off, and her legs were broken. She had suffered torture, but her eyes were filled with stubbornness.

"......"

Xie Weilou looked at the woman in front of him and fell silent.

According to the original owner's memory, after Jiang Gan's death, Jiang Yu was taken care of by Jiang Gan's younger brother and sister-in-law.

Although it was her family's mansion, she lived a life dependent on others, and had been constantly bullied since childhood.

Xie Weilou was silent for a moment, then asked, "Jiang Yu, can you still speak?"

Jiang Yu endured the pain and took a deep breath: "Is it useful?"

This Tianqi City was darker than she had imagined. After entering Jingzhao Prefecture's Dungeon, she witnessed what true darkness was. It turned out that some people could truly disregard all laws and control everything with their own hands.

"Yes!"

Xie Weilou replied with one word.

"What do you want to ask?"

Jiang Yu looked at Xie Weilou, her eyes still extremely stubborn.

Xie Weilou said, "Tell me about your case. You only need to speak; as for the truth, I will judge it myself."

Jiang Yu said self-deprecatingly, "Xue Li proposed to marry me, but I refused. Then he became enraged out of humiliation. My cousin, Jiang Xuan, colluded with him and tricked me into going out, then imprisoned me. I tried my best to escape and reported it to Jingzhao Prefecture. Then they twisted the facts, Xue Li accused me of slander, and my cousin accused me of seducing Xue Li. Everyone helped them speak, my second uncle, my second aunt..."

All along, her second uncle and second aunt had been oppressing her.

Jiang Xuan had been kind to her, but she never expected that the other party was merely feigning it.

Jiang Xuan was a venomous snake, and when she found an opportunity, she would deliver a fatal blow to her.

Xie Weilou continued, "Who arrested you and put you in Jingzhao Prefecture's Dungeon?"

"It was him..."

Jiang Yu stared intently at Du Wei.

"......"

Du Wei's face was extremely pale.

Xie Weilou asked again, "Who tortured you?"

Jiang Yu looked at Du Wei, Xue Jie, and Commander Luo on the ground: "It was them! They wanted to force me to sign..."
