Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 41 Judge [Please read and vote]

Jiang Xuan casually flipped through the secret book and based on its complexity and sophistication, he judged that the level of this "Three Talents Sword" was probably even higher than the Kuangfeng Sword Technique.

In other words, this is a first-class sword technique!
Moreover, it is a rare martial art that cultivates both internal and external cultivation, because it also comes with a set of breathing and qigong methods, and even detailed descriptions of the various meridians and acupoints in the human body.

"Practice both internal and external cultivation? Is this guy an innate master?"

Jiang Xuan glanced at Tang Pei's body with a strange expression, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

A congenital master who has cultivated both internal and external abilities should not be so weak.

Perhaps, this guy hasn't yet reached the level of opening up his Ren and Du meridians and generating internal strength, otherwise he wouldn't die so easily.

Jiang Xuan continued to flip through the pages, and when he reached the end, he found an atlas of hidden weapons in the interleaf.

"The Shadowless Divine Needle?"

Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed. This guy also knows how to use hidden weapons?
He squatted down and carefully searched Tang Pei's body for a while. Sure enough, he found a thin needle box under his wrist. When he opened it, he saw that it was filled with densely packed silver needles, as thin as cow hair and extremely sharp.

And the tip is dark black, so it must have been poisoned.

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel lucky that he had acted decisively and didn't give him a chance to fight back. Otherwise, if he had accidentally been hit by the hidden weapon when he released it, the outcome would have been unpredictable, whether he lived or died.

Jiang Xuan searched carefully again and made sure that he had nothing on him. Then he put away the things he found temporarily and considered how to deal with this guy.

"I heard that Mr. Wang said that he would reward anyone who could avenge his daughter with a thousand taels of silver. I wonder if that's true..."

At this moment, Xu Longqing's words echoed in Jiang Xuan's mind again.

"One thousand taels..." Jiang Xuan murmured in a low voice.

Should I use this guy to gain a credit, or to exchange for the one thousand taels?

Jiang Xuan quickly considered the pros and cons in his mind.

If the case is reported, he can use it to firmly establish his position in the Northern Division, but promotion to deputy captain is absolutely impossible for him.

As for Mr. Wang, I don't know if the thousand taels of silver that old man mentioned is true or not...

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xuan decided to hide his identity and go to Mr. Wang's house to try.

If the old man doesn't give the silver, he will directly reveal his identity as a Jinyiwei and use his power to force him to give out the silver. Then he will give the bulk of it to his superiors and take as much as he can.

Thinking of this, he decisively swung his knife to cut off Tang Pei's head, then dragged the body back to the yard, and quickly fetched water to clean the bloodstains in the alley.

Then he changed into a black tights, wrapped Tang Pei's head with a piece of cloth, carried him out of the house, and quickly rushed towards Xicheng.

He ran quickly all the way, jumping onto the roof from time to time to avoid the Jinyiwei and soldiers patrolling the streets. With the help of Dacheng's chasing wind step, he did not attract anyone's attention.

Soon, Jiang Xuan arrived at the door of Mr. Wang's house and jumped over the wall to go in.

There was a light on inside.

Jiang Xuan covered his face and walked outside the hall covered with white silk. He saw that Mr. Wang was sitting alone in front of the mourning hall, looking at his daughter's spirit tablet and expressing his heartfelt feelings.

Listening to the crying and whispering inside, Jiang Xuan sighed inwardly, shook his head, and pushed the door open and walked in.

Hearing the noise, Wang Yuanwai was startled and turned around to look, his face horrified: "You... who are you?"

Jiang Xuan deliberately lowered his voice and threw the head in front of Wang Yuanwai: "Wang Yuanwai, I brought you the head of the flower thief who killed your daughter. Is the reward of 1,000 taels still valid?"

"What? This is the rapist who killed my daughter?"

Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, opened the cloth bag doubtfully, and was immediately frightened by the bloody head and fell to the ground.

But thinking of his daughter's tragic death, he suppressed his fear, straightened his head and took a closer look at the face. Still a little unsure, he looked at Jiang Xuan and said, "Sir...courageous man, can I ask the guard at home who has seen the murderer's face to come and identify him?"

"Please do as you wish." Jiang Xuan said calmly.

"Thank you for your understanding, brave man. Please wait for a moment..."

As Mr. Wang said this, he hurried out to call for help.

After a while, two guards came to the mourning hall carrying the injured guard Erhu. When they saw the situation, they were also shocked.

Then Erhu suppressed his fear and stepped forward to take a closer look at the bloody head. He suddenly became excited: "Master, it's him! It's him!"

"He's the flower thief who killed the young lady and stabbed me!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanwai was instantly overwhelmed with emotion. He resisted the urge to kick the rapist's head in the face, turned around, and knelt tremblingly in front of Jiang Xuan, saying in a trembling voice, "Thank you, brave man, for avenging my daughter. I am deeply grateful... I am deeply grateful!"

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "I'm only here for the reward."

"Yes, yes, strong man, please wait a moment."

As Wang Yuanwai spoke, he quickly turned and walked into the inner room of the hall. After a while, he came out with a box in his arms and handed it to Jiang Xuan respectfully, saying, "I am a man of my word. You can take a look at it, brave man."

It’s not a silver note?

Jiang Xuan was a little surprised. He opened the box and took a look. After confirming that it was full of silver and feeling the weight, he closed the box and said, "No need. Thank you, Mr. Wang. I'll take my leave."

"Wait a minute!"

Wang Yuanwai hurriedly shouted, "Could you please leave your name? I will build a longevity shrine for you and pray for you day and night to thank you for avenging my daughter!"

Jiang Xuan didn't want to cause any trouble, but after thinking about it, he realized that keeping a vest might be useful in the future. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Let's call him 'Judge'."

Judge, the god of the underworld who is in charge of judgment and punishment.

After saying that, Jiang Xuan pushed the door open with the cash box in one hand, and his figure flashed a few times before disappearing into the night.

"Judge..." Wang Yuanwai watched his back disappear and muttered to himself, "The officials in the world of the living can't redress my grievances, so the judge in the underworld will uphold justice for me. All right, all right..."

"Daughter, the 'Judge' has vindicated you. You can rest in peace in the netherworld!" Mr. Wang looked back at the tablet erected in the middle of the mansion and couldn't help but burst into tears again.

……

Jiang Xuan carefully returned home along the same route, took off his mask, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He opened the cash box again to check and confirmed that it was real silver, and a smile appeared on his face.

Made another fortune.

Now, his net worth is almost close to 1,500 taels.

Jiang Xuan carefully dug a hole in the house and buried the cash box, then looked at the headless corpse in the yard.

There were wounds on the body caused by double crossbows. In order to avoid attracting attention, we had to find a way to destroy it.

After thinking it over carefully, Jiang Xuan found some tools, dug a deep hole next to the jujube tree in the yard, and buried the body on the spot.

Just think of it as fertilizing the jujube tree.

He worked until late at night. After filling the soil back and compacting it, Jiang Xuan went to the well to fetch a basin of water to wash himself, and then returned to his room to sleep.

That night, Jiang Xuan had a rare nightmare. In the dream, Tang Pei turned into a ghost and came to seek revenge on him, but was eventually chopped to death by him.

You can't beat me as a human, let alone as a ghost.

……

The next day.

Jiang Xuan got up very early and worked until midnight before going to bed. Instead of feeling tired, he felt extremely energetic.

This is the benefit of practicing martial arts.

After changing into a neat Feiyu suit, Jiang Xuan continued to work at the Beisi as if nothing had happened.

But what he didn't expect was that the news of the flower thief's death had spread.

As soon as Jiang Xuan arrived at the Pacification Office, Xu Longqing and Lu Jianxing came to greet him with serious expressions.

Xu Longqing said in a deep voice, "Sir, Mr. Wang has sent word around the streets that a man called 'Judge' has avenged his daughter!"

"It is said that he even hung the flower thief's head at his doorstep for everyone to see." Lu Jianxing added.

Jiang Xuan's eyes twitched, and he cursed inwardly.

Why is this old guy being so high-profile?
Wouldn't this be a slap in the face of the Jinyiwei?
really.

When I walked into the yamen, I found the atmosphere was quite heavy.

Xu Xianchun hasn't arrived yet, but the other captains all look very unhappy.

After a while, Xu Xianchun also came. As expected, his face was extremely gloomy.

After walking to the main seat and taking a seat, Xu Xianchun glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "I'm sure you've all heard about what happened this morning, right?"

Everyone was silent.

Xu Xianchun sneered and said, "Okay, that's really good!"

"Thousands of Jinyiwei officers searched for a whole month without finding anyone, only to be slaughtered by a 'Judge' who appeared out of nowhere. We only found out about it when his head was hung on the victim's doorstep."

"Are our Jinyiwei and Northern Pacification Division all just a bunch of useless people who just eat and work? Really?!"

Xu Xianchun slammed the table.

"Sir, please calm down!" Everyone quickly bowed their heads.

"How the hell do I calm down?!"

Xu Xianchun said angrily, "You bunch of useless people are so incompetent that the whole capital knows about your shame. Tell me, how should I explain this to the Emperor and Duke Wei?"

"Can our Jinyiwei still serve the Emperor and Duke Wei in the future? Can we still protect the people of the capital?!"

Xu Xianchun's chest was heaving with anger. Seeing that no one was reacting, he slammed the table and shouted angrily, "What are you still doing standing here? Why don't you just go check it out!"

"Find out who this 'Judge' is, so I can give instructions to Duke Wei. Go now!"

"Yes!"

After paying their respects, everyone turned around and left, not daring to offend him again.

"If he has the guts, he can just investigate it himself. Why is he so angry at us?"

After leaving the house, Xu Qinglong couldn't help but complain in a low voice. Being scolded so early in the morning would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

"Shut up!"

Jiang Xuan glared at him. No wonder this guy hadn't been promoted in all these years. He was just as talkative as Yin Cheng, neither of them could control their mouth.

Lu Jianxing asked, "Sir, how do we investigate this 'Judge'?"

"What judge are you investigating? Lord Xu is just angry. Don't even mention that we can't find out. Even if we do, what's the use?"

"He killed a wanted criminal. Not only will he not be punished, but according to the law he should be rewarded. Why bother with all this effort?"

Jiang Xuan turned calmly and said, "Let's go and patrol the streets."
