Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Yin Tianxi's lackeys, seeing that the young master had been beaten to death, dared not linger. After uttering some harsh words, they quickly carried their master's body away.

"My lord, you must leave quickly! This Yin Tianxi is extremely favored. If they go to report this now, Gao Lian will surely interrogate you when he arrives!"

When Chai Huangcheng's second wife saw this, she realized something was wrong and quickly told Chai Jin to hide.

However, Chai Jin is currently very angry because of his uncle's death.

Even though he had already killed Yin Tianxi, he was still angry!

So he didn't leave, but instead sent one of his servants back to Cangzhou immediately to retrieve the imperial edict!

"Auntie, don't worry!"

Chai Jin had an inexplicable confidence in his family's imperial edict of succession!

"Our Chai family's ironclad certificate can absolve anyone of punishment as long as they do not rebel!"

"This is a rule established by the founding emperor. I don't believe this prefect of Gaotang Prefecture would dare to openly violate it!"

“But my lord, this Gao Lian really dotes on his brother-in-law and doesn’t respect our Chai family at all. Otherwise, your uncle wouldn’t have been beaten like that.”

Chai Huangcheng's second wife was still very worried. To be honest, she personally felt that the imperial edict might not be very useful.

Otherwise, her husband wouldn't have been bullied so badly.

But Chai Jin was the head of the Chai family, so she couldn't say anything.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll take care of everything."

Chai Jin picked up a stick, moved a chair, and sat down in front of his own front door!

He wanted to see who dared to mess with him!

Gao Mansion.

Gao Lian stared at his brother-in-law's corpse, his face turning ashen.

"Who did it?"

“Chai, Chai, Chai Huangcheng’s family.”

The lackeys were trembling with fear, but they still mustered up the courage to speak.

"why?"

"Because of the young master..."

A henchman, though seeing Gao Lian's unfriendly expression, mustered up the courage to tell him the whole story.

"Heh, an imperial edict?"

Gao Lian smiled coldly.

"What good is it! Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a broken sign?"

"Since my brother-in-law has his eye on his house, then let him move out! Does he really think he can resist just because he has a broken sign?"

Yes, that's Gao Lian—overbearing, domineering, and unreasonable!

"You did a good job bringing back my brother-in-law's body."

Gao Lian stood up and then spoke to his lackeys.

"However, I have one more question."

"My lord, please tell me."

"My brother-in-law is dead, how come you're still alive, huh?"

Gao Lian's voice was sinister.

"My lord, things... things happened so suddenly, we... we deserve to die..."

The leader of the henchmen forced himself to speak.

"Then you'll all die! Guards! Drag these people away and beat them to death!"

Gao Lian interrupted him directly, and then dozens of tall and strong soldiers came out from both sides and dragged all these lackeys away!

"My lord! You can't do this! We are utterly loyal!"

"My lord, spare me! My lord!"

……

Ignoring the screams of his lackeys, Gao Lian went to his brother-in-law's corpse, reached out, and touched his brother-in-law's face.

"I told you long ago that life is the most important thing, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, you're dead. How am I supposed to explain this to your sister?"

“You’ve always loved being around people, and it would be too lonely for you to travel alone. I’ll send those lackeys down to keep you company, so you won’t be bullied down there.”

"As for the person who wants to kill you, don't worry, your brother-in-law will definitely get revenge for you!"

"Who cares about the Chai family, who cares about the imperial edict! In Gaotang Prefecture, the Gao family calls the shots!"

After saying this, Gao Lian ordered his servants to quickly buy a coffin. At the same time, he personally selected his guards and soldiers from the prefecture and headed directly to the Chai residence!

……

Chai Jin was sitting at the gate, surrounded by many people who had just learned that Chai Jin had killed Yin Tianxi. Naturally, everyone applauded and cheered, so they gathered at the gate of Chai's mansion.

Suddenly, a large number of armored soldiers appeared on the street. They rushed over and forcibly separated the civilians from the area!

"The Chai family has openly committed murder, showing utter contempt for the laws of the Song Dynasty! Guards, seize that thief!"

Gao Lian, mounted on his horse, saw Chai Jin sitting upright at the gate of the thatched house. He didn't bother to ask who the man was and simply ordered him arrested!

"Insolence! Who dares!"

Upon hearing this, Chai Jin immediately looked up and roared angrily. His imposing presence made the ordinary soldiers hesitant to step forward.

"Who are you? How dare you arrest someone without even asking questions?"

Chai Jin pointed at Gao Lian and asked!

"I am Gao Lian, the Prefect of Gaotang Prefecture!"

Gao Lian was even angrier after Chai Jin retorted like that!

"So you're the one who killed Yin Tianxi? As a murderer, how dare you sit here so openly? Are you disregarding the laws of my Great Song Dynasty?"

"You are Gao Lian!"

Chai Jin was also very principled and didn't give Gao Lian any face!

"Do you know that the man named Yin Tianxi has been committing murder and arson in Gaotang Prefecture, running rampant and seriously disregarding the laws of our Great Song Dynasty? Now you're talking to me about the law, but why don't you do anything about him?"

"Where did you come from, you country bumpkin, daring to speak to me like that? Yu Zhi, seize him!"

"Hmph! I am a direct descendant of Emperor Shizong, and my Chai family possesses an imperial edict bestowed by the founding emperor. As long as the descendants of the Chai family do not commit the heinous crime of rebellion, they will be exempt from punishment! Gao Lian! Do you intend to defy the will of the founding emperor!"

Chai Jin immediately revealed his trump card!

It's not fair to blame Chai Jin for being foolish; it's just that from childhood, the Chai family had always instilled in him this idea: as long as you don't rebel, you're not afraid of any crime, no matter how big, because the iron certificate can protect you for life!

That's why he was so foolish as to talk to Gao Lian.

"Sir, this..."

Gao Lian wasn't afraid, but that didn't mean Yu Zhi wasn't. Upon hearing about the ironclad guarantee, he hesitated to take action.

"What are you afraid of? Even the emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners! What iron certificate? I'm asking you, where is it?"

Gao Lian glared at Yu Zhi, thinking, "This useless thing, so cowardly!"

"I didn't bring it with me, but I've already sent someone to get it!"

Chai Jin said.

"You audacious scoundrel! Not only are you impersonating a member of the Chai family, but you're also falsely conveying imperial edicts! What kind of imperial decree is this? I've never heard of it! Seize him!"

Upon hearing that the imperial edict was not with him, Gao Lian laughed. "If you didn't bring it, then what are you talking about!"

Yu Zhi was no longer afraid, mainly because Gao Lian was more intimidating to him than the iron certificate!

"You bastard Gao Lian! If you dare to take me, when the authorities investigate, you'll be beheaded!"

Chai Jin never expected Gao Lian to be so unreasonable, arresting people on the spot! So he started cursing!

"Snapped!"

Gao Lian jumped off his horse, slapped Chai Jin, and said viciously:

"Shut up! Let me tell you! In Gaotang Prefecture, I am the biggest! Even if you had the imperial edict and certificate with you, I would still arrest you!"

"Guards! Seal off this Chai residence! And lock this swindler who claims to possess an iron certificate of merit in the dungeon and subject him to severe torture!"
