161: Get out of the way.
Xie Weilou nodded lightly: “According to the evidence gathered by the Tianquan Division, Jiang Yu is innocent and merely a victim, yet she was subjected to severe torture, which is utterly unacceptable.”
He looked at Du Wei and Xue Jie: “Since Jiang Yu’s legs were broken and her fingernails pulled out, this matter naturally cannot be overlooked. Immediately sever all ten fingers of Du, and as for Xue Jie, who holds no official position yet dared to interfere with a case under the Tianquan Division, break his legs and pull out all ten of his fingernails.
They should experience the Tianquan Division’s hospitality in advance.”
“Understood!”
Zhang Long walked towards Du Wei with a sinister grin.
“No… don’t…”
Du Wei’s expression was terrified, his hands struggling constantly.
Slash!
Zhang Long instantly drew his blade, and the long knife quickly swept across Du Wei’s fingers. All ten of Du Wei’s fingers were severed, and blood splattered.
“Ah…”
Du Wei’s pupils contracted, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream, his arms flailing.
“…”
Zhang Long continued walking towards Xue Jie.
Seeing Zhang Long approach him, Xue Jie struggled frantically, his expression utterly terrified, and he shrieked: “Xie Weilou… you… you can’t touch me! My father is the Imperial Uncle, and my aunt is the Emperor’s most beloved concubine.
If you touch me, no one will be able to protect you…”
“Attack.”
Xie Weilou spoke slowly.
Bang!
Zhang Long immediately moved.
“Ah…”
A moment later, Du Wei’s legs were broken, and his ten fingernails were ripped off alive; his ten fingers were pulled off. This was several times more painful than having his legs broken.
His body trembled, and he directly fainted.
Jiang Yu stared blankly at Xie Weilou. She had seen Xie Weilou before and instinctively disliked him, as he was a scoundrel. But this time, she found that she seemed unable to understand him.
Xie Weilou said calmly: “Leave a few people to take Jiang Yu back to the Tianquan Division and find her a good doctor.
As for Du Wei and Xue Jie, throw them directly into the Dungeon. The rest of you, follow me to the Guojiu Mansion to apprehend someone.”
“Good!”
Everyone stood up straight with serious expressions.
Since following Xie Weilou on cases, they found that the matters they handled were becoming increasingly significant. They had already been to the Deputy Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices’s Mansion and the Anping Marquis Estate.
Now they were even going to the Guojiu Mansion to apprehend someone. There was pressure, but it was also exhilarating.
The power granted to the Tianquan Division by the Imperial Family was truly being exercised by Xie Weilou.
Afterward, Xie Weilou departed with Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and others.
“Too brutal.”
The constables of the Jingzhao Prefecture looked at the departing figures of Xie Weilou and the others, their eyes showing apprehension.
They then looked at the body of Commander Luo on the ground and couldn’t help but sigh. Wanting to be a trailblazer depended on the situation.
Now look, he’s dead, isn’t he?
— — — — — —
Guojiu Mansion.
A group of guards blocked the entrance, looking arrogantly at Xie Weilou and the others. The Guojiu Mansion was currently at its peak, and no one dared to provoke it, so the guards were naturally very proud.
“May I ask if the gentlemen from the Tianquan Division have any business here?”
A guard commander asked indifferently.
Xie Weilou casually took out a token and said with an indifferent expression: “Please inform them that the Tianquan Division is handling a case and wishes to see Young Master Xue and Madam Jiang!”
The guard raised an eyebrow when he saw the token Xie Weilou produced: “Unfortunately, our Young Master and Madam are currently entertaining a distinguished guest and are temporarily unavailable.
Would you gentlemen like to wait a bit?”
Xie Weilou glanced at the guard and said coldly: “I told you to inform them, not to spout nonsense here.
As a mere guard, is it your place to talk so much?”
“You…”
The guard’s face froze.
Xie Weilou said indifferently: “If you’re not going to inform them, then get out of the way.
Don’t block the path.”
The guard gritted his teeth: “What? Do you dare to force your way into the Guojiu Mansion?”
“Slap him!”
Xie Weilou said impatiently.
Boom!
Zhang Long stepped forward and delivered a powerful slap, sending the guard flying over ten meters.
The other guards stared at Xie Weilou and the others with shocked anger.
Xie Weilou took a step forward and waved his hand lightly: “The Tianquan Division is handling a case.
Whoever dares to obstruct will be killed without mercy!”
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out as Zhang Long and the others drew their sabers, and a chilling aura of blades filled the air, full of murderous intent.
“…”
The guard’s heart tightened, and he instinctively retreated. They exchanged glances, and someone immediately left.
Xie Weilou walked inside with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.
The guards dared not stop them at all. The killing intent emanating from Zhang Long and the others was extremely strong. Who would dare to obstruct them? They would be immediately executed!
Inside a grand hall.
Yan Wuchen was holding a cup of fragrant tea and sipping it. Behind him stood a black-robed figure.
Beside him, a young man in a green robe and a woman in a white dress accompanied him.
Yan Wuchen looked at the young man: “I heard you caused some trouble?”
The young man was none other than the Eldest Young Master of the Xue family, Xue Li.
Xue Li waved his hand carelessly: “It’s just a small matter, already resolved. Your Highness need not concern yourself.”
“Best if it is.”
Yan Wuchen frowned slightly.
“Young Master, Madam, something terrible has happened! The people from the Tianquan Division have broken in!”
A terrified voice rang out as a guard rushed into the hall in a hurry.
Xue Li’s expression became displeased, and he reprimanded: “The Third Prince is here. Don’t embarrass me. If there’s anything, speak slowly.”
The guard stammered: “Some Captians from the Tianquan Division have directly forced their way in, saying they want to see you and Madam.
They’ve already drawn their sabers, and we can’t stop them at all!”
Xue Li’s face darkened: “How audacious! How dare they break into the Guojiu Mansion? Do they have a death wish?”
Yan Wuchen raised an eyebrow and said: “You go resolve this matter.”
“Understood.”
The black-robed figure behind him bowed and was about to leave.
“Wait.”
Yan Wuchen seemed to remember something and immediately spoke.
“…”
The black-robed figure stopped.
Yan Wuchen put down his teacup and mused: “Let’s go take a look together.”
Xue Li quickly said: “Your Highness, I will handle this matter. There’s no need to trouble you.”
Yan Wuchen shook his head: “I’m just afraid you won’t be able to handle it!”
How could ordinary Captians from the Tianquan Division dare to force their way into the Guojiu Mansion?
Yan Wuchen said no more and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
Xue Li and Jiang Xuan quickly followed.
In the courtyard.
“Greetings, Third Prince.”
Xie Weilou bowed slightly to Yan Wuchen.
Yan Wuchen looked at Xie Weilou: “Young Master, what business brings you here?”
Xie Weilou said calmly: “The Tianquan Division is handling a case.”
Xue Li said coldly: “So what if it’s the Tianquan Division? You, Xie Weilou, directly brought people to break into the Guojiu Mansion.
Aren’t you being too disrespectful to our Guojiu Mansion?”
Xie Weilou looked at Xue Li and said indifferently: “This Young Master is responsible for Jiang Yu’s case. You and Jiang Xuan, as the culprits, come with me to the Tianquan Division!”
Xue Li’s face darkened, and he immediately said: “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Jiang Xuan’s face also changed drastically. Logically, with Xue Jie going to the Jingzhao Prefecture, this matter should have been concluded.
Why was the Tianquan Division still investigating here?
Had something unexpected happened?
At this moment, a sense of unease rose in her heart.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. You’ll understand once we get to the Tianquan Division.
Apprehend them.”
Xie Weilou ignored Xue Li.
Zhang Long and the others immediately stepped forward.
“Presumptuous! How dare you cause trouble on my territory? Do you have a death wish?”
Xue Li’s eyes were fierce, and he immediately extended his hand.
Dozens of guards instantly rushed out, and there were also more than ten archers around, directly blockading Xie Weilou and the others.
Xue Li stared coldly at Xie Weilou: “This Young Master is right here. I’d like to see what you, Xie Weilou, can do to me today!”
