Sheng Jianwen didn't expect Shi Henian to be so arrogant and unreasonable.

He was really bewitched by women, and he felt disdainful in his heart.

His expression was not revealing, but his face was filled with arrogance and contempt for women: "Jiang is a woman after all, with a narrow vision, and her words are not worthy of being accepted in a high-class place."

Jiang Yining, who was standing by, felt itchy when she heard this. If she hadn't been reluctant to give up her supernatural powers, as it would be difficult to recover after using them, she would have struck Sheng Jianwen with a bolt of lightning, sending him to the west and letting him ascend to heaven.

"What's your name?" Shi Henian finally looked at Sheng Jianwen straight in the eye.

Sheng Jianwen quickly replied: "Sheng Jianwen from the Jiangnan Sheng family was originally the chief secretary of Nanxiang Prefecture."

"Then you know that Jiang Yining and I were married by His Majesty, a match made in heaven." Shi Henian sneered.

"You are now belittling her in front of me. Are you questioning whether the praises of Jiang Yining in the imperial edict granting the marriage to my father were all fabricated? You are... doubting the vision of the current emperor, accusing him, blaming him, despising him, and disrespecting him?"

"This... Mr. Shi, I didn't mean that at all." Sheng Jianwen didn't expect that he had just said a few words to Jiang Yining, but how could Shi Henian lead him to commit such a serious crime as contempt of the imperial authority?

"Is this what you mean? You have made it very clear just now." Shi Henian didn't want to talk more and directly called Jin Lingwei.

Listening to the quarrel here, Gao Yunlu would not care as long as Shi Henian's life was not in danger.

However, since Shi Henian took the initiative to call him, he had to give him face.

Gao Yunlu led the team over and listened to Shi Henian's complaint again.

"Captain Gao, how do you sentence the crime of contempt for the emperor's authority?" Shi Henian asked.

"If you are disrespectful to the emperor, you should be beheaded!" Gao Yunlu said in a deep voice with a murderous look on his face.

He thought he had intimidated Sheng Jianwen, but he saw Shi Henian's figure flash by and the long sword at his waist was pulled out by him.

The sword flashed and blood splattered.

Sheng Jianwen looked horrified, with a line of blood on his neck, and fell straight backwards.

"Since it's a capital crime, Master Ben will use this sword." Ignoring the fright of the exiled prisoner and Ji Yun'e's scream, Shi Henian threw the bloody sword back to Gao Yunlu.

Gao Yunlu was dumbfounded.

His ability is unquestionable as he is able to become the captain of the Golden Wing Guard.

But he was completely unaware of the speed with which Shi Henian drew his sword.

It is obvious that Shi Henian's fighting power is superior to his and unfathomable.

With the strength that Shi Henian had just revealed, it was obvious that he could deal with those assassins last night by himself without the help of Jin Lingwei.

But now was not the time to be surprised by this, but Shi Henian took his sword and killed an exiled prisoner.

Wang Dashan had no intention of paying attention to the farce here. At most, he would just make a fuss. When he was tired of arguing, he would be even more tired on the journey, and he would be the one who suffered.

Now that someone has died, Wang Dashan has no choice but to step in.

He glanced at Sheng Jianwen's body and asked everyone, "What happened?"

"Disrespecting the imperial authority, questioning His Majesty's decisions, and being disrespectful to the emperor are naturally punishable by death." Shi Henian said from the side.

Wang Dashan had a complicated expression.

He also learned what had happened from Li Xiaoyao's narration.

When Ji Yun'e saw Wang Dashan coming over, she cried, "Sir, you have to help me. This man draws his sword and kills people when he disagrees with you!"

"You are criminals to begin with. His Majesty has shown mercy by sparing your life and sentencing you to exile. Now that you have defied the imperial authority, you deserve the death penalty," Wang Dashan said coldly.

He found the booklet and crossed out Sheng Jianwen's name from the exiled prisoners.

He no longer paid any attention to Ji Yun'e, ordered his men to dispose of Sheng Jianwen's body, and led the team to move forward.

At the same time, the look he gave Shi Henian was particularly fearful.
