"If you could resolve this matter, my people from the Inspection Department wouldn't have to go to Liuhe to report my death."

Xu Shan's words left Shangguan Yan'er speechless.

At this moment, a veteran soldier stood up and said with the same bravado as before: "Last night, we did our duty."

“No one is allowed to leave the city until the city gates are opened.”

"The Jinyiwei are no exception!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shan glared at him coldly.

It was at this moment that Wang Qinian, who understood his master's murderous intent, immediately drew his sword.

'bass! ’

'Sizzle!'

A cold light flashed, and the knife fell.

"what!"

Blood splattered everywhere, spraying on the faces of Ma Tao and several other soldiers from the city defense camp like ink.

This suddenness caused many people to scream.

‘Poof! ’

With his head and body separated, the soldier fell to the ground immediately.

And his head rolled down in the ranks of the city defense camp!

At this moment, the captains and soldiers who were brothers in private all tried to avoid the attack with their heads as the center.

Even Shangguan Yan'er, who was standing there, was stunned.

Compared to the shock she felt yesterday when they killed the Kongtong Sect's deacon, today's scene made her feel even more incredible.

"You, you dare to kill a serving captain?"

"Have you Jinyiwei rebelled against the heaven?"

Ma Tao, who came back to his senses first, roared hysterically in fear.

Hearing this, Xu Shan's face was filled with disdain as he said, "Your Majesty has granted permission that during the investigation, anyone below the third rank is to be arbitrarily authorised to execute first and report later!"

"Last night, my men were holding the ivory token bestowed by His Majesty and were trying to leave the city."

"You all know that what you are stopping is not just our Jinyiwei, but also your contempt for the imperial power."

"According to law, you must be killed!"

‘Gulu. ’

Xu Shan's words also made the soldiers who were on duty last night and followed their deputy general to intercept the Jinyiwei swallow their saliva in fear.

At this moment, they all stared at Ma Tao with wide eyes, bewildered.

Didn't they say that they were in the right in this matter, and as long as no one was killed, everything would be fine?

Why does it seem so serious now?

"Stop standing here and scaring us!"

"Brothers, if they take you away, you will be in danger of death."

"Anyway, it's all going to be death!"

"Let's fight them."

"So as to avoid this humiliation."

'bass! ’

As he said this, Ma Tao immediately drew his sword.

Following his order, dozens of other people who had nowhere to retreat followed suit.

This scene was exactly what Shangguan Yan'er didn't want to see.

Just when she was getting a little panicked, Xu Shan put his right hand on his sword, pressed his thumb against the hilt, and unsheathed the Zhengyang Sword a little.

Then, he said word by word to Shangguan Yan'er beside him: "Sir Shangguan, what you need to do now is to sort out their information one by one."

"Ah? Xu, Xu Shan, why are you organizing the information at this time? You..."

Before she could finish her words, Wang Qinian, the know-it-all, spoke directly, "Sir Shangguan, according to Ming law, any mutiny in the army will have their entire family confiscated. The ringleader will have his entire clan exterminated!"

"Please hurry up and organize. We'll send someone to issue the order today. For those who are nearby, like Lieutenant General Ma... we can have his entire family accompany him on the journey today."

Although Wang Qinian's words were not loud, they were enough to make Ma Tao and others' expressions change suddenly.

"You, you guys..."

Before he could speak, Xu Shan, who had completely lost his patience, interrupted him and said, "Don't expect the master behind you to be able to protect you and your family."

"He couldn't even protect his own eldest son."

"Isn't it?"

Nothing is more devastating than Xu Shan's words.

"Don't let my family suffer any harm. This has always been my bottom line."

"But if you intend to manipulate public opinion and hand the knife to the Donglin Party through mutiny..."

"I'm sorry, I have no bottom line."

"I don't think, with the leverage the Inspection Department holds, that the Donglin Party can bring down Xu Shan!"

"Three breaths!"

"If anyone raises a knife again..."

"Kill without mercy!"

'Pah-ta-ta.'

'bass! ’

After Xu Shan finished speaking, the accompanying Jinyiwei quickly changed into battle formation!
