Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 539

539 Chapter 87-how to break out of this situation?

After half an hour, Xu Qi ‘an stepped out of the noble spirit building and stood at the bottom of the building. He closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment before leaving resolutely.

He left the Yamen and rode the pony along the unimaginably wide main road in the inner city, galloping towards the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen.

The main road was more than 100 meters wide and led directly to the Imperial City. It was the road that the Emperor would take when he went out. This width was mainly to prevent assassins from lying in ambush on the side of the road. If they were ambushed by arrows or assassination, such a wide road would provide sufficient buffer time for the Imperial Army.

Not long after, they arrived at the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen.

Xu Qi ‘an saw second uncle Xu’s figure in the distance. He was dressed in armor and armed. He must have received the news when he was patrolling the street and rushed over immediately.

Second uncle Xu was stopped outside the door by the guards of the Ministry of Justice.

The two guards shouted loudly. One of them reached out and pushed second uncle Xu. He didn’t dare to fight back and staggered back.

“What, a mere hundred-man commander of the Royal saber guard dares to barge into the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen?” One of the guards pointed at Xu Pingzhi’s nose and scolded him,”if you don’t get lost, don’t blame me for being rough.”

Xu Pingzhi clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, “”I’m xu Xinian’s father. I have the right to visit him.”

“No one is allowed to visit those who have committed fraud in the imperial examination. This has always been the rule,” another guard said sarcastically. You’re just an illiterate man, what do you know?”

Xu Pingzhi really didn’t know. The case of cheating in the imperial examination was too far away for him to come into contact with.

“Then why are you still asking me for thirty taels?” Xu Pingzhi’s eyebrows shot up in anger.

“So what if I’m cheating you? this is the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen, you still dare to make a move. Try and touch one.” The guard sneered.

“Oh ... tui?”

The other one was even more straightforward and spat at Xu Pingzhi.

Xu Pingzhi hurriedly dodged.

The two guards laughed wildly.

“Phew ...”

Second uncle Xu slowly let out a breath and looked at the two rows of soldiers walking out of the Yamen. It was obvious that if he dared to cause trouble in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

He had given them a handle for nothing.

“Get lost!”

The guard stammered and berated.

Tap tap tap tap ... Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Looking in the direction of the sound, a strong and healthy horse was charging at the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen.

He crashed into the two guards who were frowning.

Bang! Bang!

One of the guards couldn’t avoid it in time and was hit in the chest by the young mare. He flew out heavily and struggled for a moment before slowly falling to the ground, injured and unable to get up again.

Someone actually dared to commit a crime in front of the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen?

“Ningyan.”

Xu Pingzhi was relieved to see his nephew.

“Clang!” The sound of swords being drawn was one. The guards in the Yamen heard the movement and rushed out with their swords, wanting to cut the fellow who dared to make trouble in the Ministry of Justice into a thousand pieces.

However, when they saw that the silver Gong on the horse was Xu Qi ‘an, they were all dumbfounded.

The leading guard put away his saber, cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice, “”Lord Xu, this is the Ministry of Justice’s office. You have to know that if you charge into the Ministry of Justice and injure the guards, you’ll be imprisoned or exiled, or even beheaded.”

Xu Qi ‘an ignored him. He got off the horse and kicked the guard who had dodged the little mare’s charge.

“Aiya ...” The guard screamed in pain and rolled on the ground.

Xu Qi ‘an took off the saber from his waist and whipped him. The muffled sound of the scabbard hitting the flesh was frightening.

The guards screamed repeatedly.

“Lord Xu!”

“Call me Lord Viscount,”

The leader of the guards choked and pretended not to hear him. He shouted, “”Do you really think that there are no experts in the Ministry of Justice? are you really not afraid of His Majesty punishing you and the great law?”

bring it on. If I can’t settle this small matter, I, Xu Qi ‘an, will have wasted my time in the capital. Xu Qi ‘an sneered and waved his scabbard to continue whipping.

At first, the guard was still able to Dodge or raise his hand to block, but after more than a dozen slaps, his eyes began to roll back and he was on the verge of death.

The leader of the guards gritted his teeth, and the veins on the back of his hand that was holding the knife popped out, but he did not dare to really fight against the arrogant silver Gong.

The scene of the battle that day was still vivid in their minds. Xu Qi ‘an’s momentum had not dissipated yet. At this juncture, ordinary people did not dare to confront him head-on.

The most important thing was that this person had a death-exemption Golden Plate to protect him. Even if he killed in front of the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen, he would only be dismissed from his position and his life would not be in danger.

Seeing that the guard was still breathing, Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand and put his saber back on his waist. He said lightly, “”Thirty taels of silver, just take it as the fee for the doctor and the medicine.”

After venting his anger, he stared at the head of the guards and said, “”Go in and announce that I want to see Xu New Year.”

Hearing this, the guard leader did not refuse or respond. He used his eyes to signal his men to carry the two injured people into the Yamen for treatment. He took a deep look at Xu Qi ‘an and returned to the Yamen.

After a while, the guard leader returned and said, “”Minister sun, please come in.”

Xu Qi ‘an tied the reins to the stone lion at the gate of the Yamen and turned back to call out, “”Second uncle, let’s go in together.”

Xu Pingzhi followed him in silence. The two entered the Yamen, passed through the front yard, and the corridor. Second uncle Xu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he chose to remain silent.

The guard led the uncle and nephew into the side hall. Sitting in the main seat of the side hall was Minister sun in a red robe. He had a serious expression and was waiting expressionlessly.

“Greetings, Minister sun.” Xu Qi ‘an cupped his fists.

Sun Shangshu didn’t look at Xu Qi ‘an. He said lightly,”Two words are missing.”

...

After staring at Minister sun for a few seconds, Xu Qi ‘an bent his spine and cupped his fists in front of his superior.”Your humble servant greets Minister sun. This humble servant wants to see Xu niannian.”

Seeing this, Xu Pingzhi’s eyes suddenly felt sore.
