44: Where is the law when it comes to openly beating people?

“Ah…”

The guard let out a bloodcurdling scream, yet he angrily said, “So what if it’s the Tianquan Division? Publicly assaulting someone, where is the law?!”

In Tianqi City, who didn’t know the Tianquan Division?

He naturally knew, but This Prince had instructed that no matter who came, they were to be driven away. For years, backed by the Third Prince, the Dong Residence’s arrogance was at its peak; who dared to easily offend them?

Bang!

Xie Weilou kicked the guard flying. He said expressionlessly, “Since you know the Tianquan Division, you still dare to be presumptuous? You’re courting death!”

“Who’s causing trouble in the Dong Residence?”

An displeased voice rang out from inside the residence. A middle-aged man with a saber at his waist walked out, leading more than a dozen guards.

“The Tianquan Division is handling a case! Go call Dong Hen out.”

Xie Weilou said indifferently.

The middle-aged man glanced at Xie Weilou and said calmly, “My young master is not feeling well and cannot be exposed to the cold wind. Please come back another day.”

Xie Weilou narrowed his eyes: “Say it again. The Tianquan Division is handling a case, go call Dong Hen out.”

The middle-aged man sneered, “What? Is the Tianquan Division so impressive? Do you really dare to force your way into the Deputy Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices’s residence?”

“That’s right! This is the Deputy Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices’s residence, not a place for you to act presumptuously. If you dare to mess around, don’t blame us for being impolite.”

The other guards immediately spoke up.

Xie Weilou extended his hand and said with an indifferent expression, “Go directly and arrest him.”

Zhang Long and the others immediately stepped forward.

“I’d like to see who dares!”

The middle-aged man immediately drew the saber from his waist, and the guards beside him also drew their sabers, instantly blocking the gate.

“How dare you!”

Zhang Long and the others had cold expressions, their eyes filled with killing intent.

It would be one thing for imperial relatives or important court officials, if they drew their sabers at the Tianquan Division, there might still be room for de-escalation.

But for a group of guards to dare to draw their sabers at the Tianquan Division, that was simply seeking death.

If these people didn't die, how could the Tianquan Division maintain its authority?

Xie Weilou’s smile was sinister. He said in a chilling tone, “The Tianquan Division is handling a case. All who obstruct shall be killed without mercy! Since they refuse to cooperate, kill them!”

Clang!

Zhang Long and the others’ sabers instantly unsheathed, and a ferocious killing intent erupted.

“Kill!”

They didn’t hesitate in the slightest, immediately wielding their sabers and charging at the guards. When the Tianquan Division handles a case, who dares to obstruct?

A group of guards who didn’t even understand the rules, then they should die!

“Ah…”

A series of bloodcurdling screams rang out.

Whose saber among the Tianquan Division had not tasted blood? How could these guards be a match for the Tianquan Division’s people? A moment later, all the guards lay on the ground, blood staining the earth red.

The middle-aged man lay on the ground, a hideous wound on his body. He was not yet dead, and at this moment, he looked at Xie Weilou and the others with terrified eyes: “You… you are abusing your authority… arbitrarily killing people…”

Xie Weilou picked up a long saber from the ground, gently stroked it, and said calmly, “What were you doing just now? Now you know fear? Unfortunately, it’s too late!”

Boom!

He slashed down with one strike, and the middle-aged man’s neck was instantly severed, blood gushing out.

“Ah…”

A maidservant from inside the residence happened to walk over and let out a scream upon seeing the bloody scene before her.

Xie Weilou walked in, holding the blood-stained long saber. He glanced at the maidservant and said indifferently, “Where is Dong Hen?”

The maidservant was already scared out of her wits and subconsciously pointed towards a pavilion.

“…”

Xie Weilou walked expressionlessly towards the pavilion, with Zhang Long and the others immediately following him.

Inside the pavilion.

Dong Hen, clad in a purple robe, was lying on the bed, his eyes narrowed, leisurely enjoying the nuts handed to him by a maidservant.

Bang!

Just then, the pavilion door was kicked open.

Xie Weilou entered, bringing Zhang Long and the others with him.

“Presumptuous! Which ignorant fool is this?!”

Dong Hen instantly opened his eyes, his face filled with gloom, but when he saw Xie Weilou and the others, his expression instantly changed.

Xie Weilou glanced at Dong Hen and said indifferently, “Take him down!”

Two Captians immediately stepped forward and quickly apprehended Dong Hen.

Dong Hen said in a panicked tone, “You… what are you going to do? I am the son of the Deputy Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, backed by the Third Prince…”

Slap!

Xie Weilou walked towards Dong Hen, raised his hand, and gave him a resounding slap. He sneered, “The Third Prince? If he’s so capable, call him here!”

After hitting him, he said coldly, “Take him back to the Tianquan Division for punishment.”

“No… I don’t want to go to the Tianquan Division, I won’t go to the Tianquan Division…”

Dong Hen said in terror.

Entering Jingzhao Prefecture, the Court of Judicial Review, or the Ministry of Justice, there was still room for leniency, but going to the Tianquan Division, even if one didn't die, they would be severely punished.

“You have no choice.”

Xie Weilou smiled coldly, dropped the blood-stained long saber, and looked at the maidservant, saying, “Tell your master, when he comes to collect Dong Hen’s body, remember to bring a thousand taels of silver!”

“Let’s go!”

Zhang Long waved his hand, and the Captians immediately followed.

“No… I don’t want to go to the Tianquan Division… Zhutao, quickly go find my father…”

Dong Hen roared.

——

Not long after.

The Third Prince’s Residence.

“Your Highness, Deputy Minister Dong seeks an audience.”

A guard bowed to Yan Wuchen.

Yan Wuchen was holding a cup of fine wine and tasting it. He said calmly, “What is the matter?”

The guard said, “It’s related to Dong Hen’s previous matter.”

Yan Wuchen frowned and said, “Didn’t This Prince already make it clear? Neither Jingzhao Prefecture, the Court of Judicial Review, nor the Ministry of Justice would do anything to him; it would just be a formality. Is that still not enough?”

The guard mused, “This subordinate just received news that this case has already been taken over by the Tianquan Division, and Dong Hen has also been arrested by Xie Weilou and taken to the Tianquan Division.”

“Hmm?”

Yan Wuchen’s gaze sharpened.

He said with a grim face, “This must be Yan Junlin’s doing! I just sent someone to assassinate Xie Weilou last night, and today he took over this case. He’s probably giving Xie Weilou an opportunity to vent.”

“What should we do next? Deputy Minister Dong is still outside.”

The guard asked in a low voice.

Yan Wuchen pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Since the person has been taken by Xie Weilou, that guy definitely won’t give me any face. Tell Deputy Minister Dong that This Prince will do my best, but he needs to be prepared for the worst. Also, tell him to be more meticulous in his actions and not to let anyone catch him with evidence, otherwise, no one will be able to save him.”

Since he had allied with the Deputy Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, he naturally had some unsavory collaborations with him. If the other party panicked and exposed certain things, it would be troublesome.

“Understood.”

The guard immediately left.

“Yan Junlin…”

Yan Wuchen crushed the wine cup in his hand, his eyes incredibly cold.

If Dong Hen truly died, it wouldn’t be a major problem for him, as the person he collaborated with was the Deputy Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, but there would still be some impact.
