The chief commander of the patrol camp in the capital was Li Jinliang, the second son of Marquis Anping.

As one of the three leaders of the Donglin Party, the Marquis of Anping openly impeached the great official Xu Shan for smashing the red sleeves in the case of the witchcraft shaman Tuoba Ye.

But what this old man never expected was.

The courtesan of Hongxiuzhao turned out to be a remnant of the Witchcraft Cult.

His Majesty used this as an excuse to confine him to his palace. He also took the opportunity to hand over the patrol battalion to the Inspection Department for control.

After a series of reorganizations, Xu Shan handed over full authority of the patrol battalion to Deng Ziyue.

But what Mr. Xu did not expect was that Marquis Anping was still determined to take over the patrol camp.

Not only did it plant the seeds of trouble, it also indirectly caused this bloody incident.

In order to prevent unnecessary commotion, Xu Shan ordered people to carry Dong Xiao into a room alone on the pretext of treating his injuries!

"Sir, the people are here."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Xu Shan put down the documents in his hand and looked up at Dong Xiao who looked nervous.

"Sir, what does this mean?"

"It's my subordinate. Did I do something wrong?"

Looking at the eyes of the Jinyiwei in the room who shared a common hatred for the enemy, Dong Xiao, who was already feeling guilty, asked stutteringly.

"General Deng, have you been kind to me?"

"Ah? Lord Deng, you have been very kind to me, and even more so..."

'boom. ’

'Clatter.'

Without waiting for the other party to finish his words, Xu Shan slapped the wooden table in front of him and broke it into pieces.

Dong Xiao was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Especially after feeling Xu Shan's chilling murderous aura, his whole body was trembling.

"To you, whom Old Deng once considered a brother..."

"I don't want to torture you, and I don't want to use any despicable means to force you to speak."

"You tell me yourself, and I'll verify it."

"Afterwards, tell Lao Deng that you died in battle."

"This is the greatest privilege I can give you."

Hearing Xu Shan's words, Dong Xiao's lips trembled as he said timidly, "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Subordinate..."

'Sizzle.'

"Ow."

Before Dong Xiao could finish his words, Wang Qinian, who was standing next to him, forcibly tore open the other's wound that had just been bandaged.

Flesh and blood were torn off together.

Dong Xiao, who was in so much pain that he wanted to die, immediately let out a shrill scream.

"For me, revenge never takes overnight."

"Captain Dong, you don't have much time left."

As he said this, Xu Shan turned around and lit a stick of incense.

"Give him an incense stick of time to speak."

"Yes."

'bass.'

After answering this question, Wang Qinian immediately pulled out the serrated boning knife.

Dong Xiao, who had witnessed with his own eyes the other party tearing apart another person's bones alive, turned pale.

"Sir, there must be some misunderstanding here."

"grown ups……"

'Pfft. '

"what……"

'Sizzle.'

"I said it all."

"Who's on the line? Who did you give the route out of the city to?"

"An, Li Jinliang, the second son of Marquis Anping. I am only responsible for delivering the message!"

"Where's the errand boy?"

"Liu Tengge, the captain of the outer camp."

"Who else is on your line?"

"Also, there's more..."

After Dong Xiao finished explaining everything, Xu Shan turned his head and said to Wu Jieyu who was standing beside him, "Notify Yuan Fang and arrest the people according to the list."

"Interrogate them on the spot. Anyone who resists will have his entire family killed!"

"Yes!"

Xu Shan was really angry, with endless murderous intent in his eyes.

He stood up and said directly, "Order everyone to gather and surround the Marquis of Anping's mansion."

"As ordered."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go out, pointing at Dong Xiao and said, "Take him with me."

"Yes."

In the Anping Marquis's Mansion...

Li Yuanfang led his men to take over the entire patrol camp, and the news that the Jinyiwei had cleared the entire city had already reached here.

Li Jinliang, in a panic, immediately woke up Anping Hou who was already asleep.

The father and son just met in the study, and Li Jinliang said anxiously: "Father, something happened."

"Deng Ziyue is not dead. Suzaku is seriously injured!"

"Prince Ning's Mansion said before that Xu Shan would die tonight. But not only is he safe and sound, he even took over the case."

"Now, the entire capital is controlled by his people."

After hearing this, Anping Hou turned around and asked, "Xu Shan is not dead?"

"Didn't the people at Prince Ning's Mansion swear that Duke Cao's side was absolutely foolproof?"

“Who knows the specific situation?”

"Father, Xu Shan is a master at solving cases. Since he came to Beijing, there has been no case he can't solve."

Li Jinliang, panicked, said quickly.

"Look at you, you useless guy."

"Even if Xu Shan wants to investigate, he'll be looking for the murderer. What does it have to do with us?"

"Besides, I also had the only unreliable groom killed."

"What can he, Xu Shan, find out?"

"Put your heart in your stomach."

"Let's take a step back and say, even if Xu Shan found something, without concrete evidence..."

"He dares to bring people to Anping Marquis' Mansion to arrest people?"

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Just as Anping Hou finished his words with a solemn oath, a sound of hurried footsteps came from far away.

"Master, no, it's not good."

"The Imperial Guards have surrounded the entire Marquis' Mansion."

"what?"

Marquis Anping, who had just boasted, suddenly felt a burning pain on his old face.

Li Jinliang, who was already feeling guilty, was now even more at a loss.

"Father, father, what should I do?"

"Don't panic!"

"As long as they don't have evidence, they can't do anything to us."

"If Xu Shan dares to act rashly, I will definitely report him."

"Ok!"

Seeing his father being so tough, Li Jinliang's heart instantly eased a little.

'boom. ’

But the next second, the sound of the door being kicked open suddenly resounded throughout the mansion.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liansong's screams echoed in their ears.

"The Jinyiwei are investigating a case, so outsiders should stay out of the way."

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

"Arrests!"

"Yes."

"Ah... Master, Master, help me."

The Jinyiwei's unreasonable and direct actions also caused chaos in the front yard of the marquis's mansion.

After hearing all this, Marquis Anping immediately hurried towards the front yard.

When he saw the Jinyiwei rushing towards the backyard arrogantly, he roared hysterically: "Are you guys going to make trouble?"

"Where are the guards at the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Have!"

"Kick them out for me."

"You dare to force your way into the Marquis of Anping's mansion?"

"Who gave you the guts?"

"Do it."

"Yes."

Marquis Anping, who has spent half his life in the military camp, naturally has his own confidants.

Following his order, these guards who had followed him for some years immediately took up their knives and tried to drive away the Jinyiwei.

Just at this moment, Xu Shan's cold and explosive voice came from the front yard.

"Anyone who raises a knife against another..."

"Kill without mercy!"

'bass! ’

'Pfft. '

"Ow."
