How did I, a mere son-in-law lying down, become a "Fenglang Juxu" (a legendary martial art

Before long, a group of people appeared in everyone's sight.

They were dressed in brown armor, wielding gleaming longswords, their horses moving in perfect unison, their imposing presence instantly drawing everyone's attention.

The leader had sharp eyes and a resolute face.

Although there were only a dozen or so riders, they brought the momentum of dozens of riders.

It's not just the aura, but also the arrogant attitude.

They slowly approached the crowd, the leader coldly surveying the surroundings as if everything was under control.

Outside the government office gate, everyone held their breath, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Yin Nantian straightened up slightly, his expression becoming even more serious.

He took a deep breath, a barely perceptible hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

Song Bowen, however, was much more excited and even subconsciously took two steps forward to meet him.

His eyes gleamed with anticipation, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but forced himself to hold it back.

However, he quickly realized what was happening, immediately straightened his face, and retreated behind Yin Nantian, but only by half a body length.

Soon, the group arrived in front of the government office.

The leader looked down at the crowd from his high position until he was very close, then dismounted, slightly raised his chin, and looked at Yin Nantian.

"Lord Yin, it's been a long time." The leader's voice was deep, and his eyes were piercing. "I've come today to assist with official business."

Yin Nantian nodded slightly and smiled calmly, "No need for Lord Song to worry, the Cangzhou government will handle it properly."

Among the crowd, Li Polu introduced in a low voice: "This man is Song Zhongwen, the second younger brother of Song Bowen, the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review in the capital, a sixth-rank official."

Liu Shan pursed his lips. Officials from the capital always considered themselves superior to others, no matter what.

But thinking about it, it's normal. After all, they have the opportunity to meet the emperor and have reason to be proud.

Song Zhongwen took two steps forward, said nothing, and stared directly at Yin Nantian with his eyes half-closed.

Yin Nantian remained as steady as a mountain, refusing to meet his gaze, as if he couldn't see him at all, taking his contempt to the extreme.

Song Zhongwen frowned slightly, but a cold smile appeared on his lips as he secretly compared his strengths and weaknesses.

The atmosphere inside and outside the government office grew increasingly heavy. Liu Shan's gaze shifted back and forth between the two men, as if one could hear the sparks colliding in the air.

Yin Nantian remained calm and composed, his hands behind his back, as if everything was within his expectations.

Song Zhongwen snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze, and turned to Song Bowen: "Brother, I'm sorry you suffered some injustice the other day, but rest assured, I, Song Zhongwen, am here today and will definitely find out the truth and give you justice."

A hint of urgency flashed in Song Bowen's eyes. He nodded hurriedly, his voice slightly choked: "Zhongwen, it's all up to you."

Song Zhongwen turned and whispered a few words to his attendants. Two of them immediately stood in front of the government office, their hands on their sword hilts, their eyes sharp, as if they were ready to be ordered at any moment.

Liu Shan's gaze darkened slightly as he thought to himself: Song Zhongwen's trip was clearly well-prepared, with the intention of taking control of the situation.

Yin Nantian glanced at Song Zhongwen with disdain, then waved his hand lightly. Immediately, several yamen runners stepped forward and surrounded the two attendants, forming a standoff.

Song Zhongwen showed no intention of backing down. He slightly raised his chin, and two more attendants quickly stepped forward, standing in front of the government office with their hands on their sword hilts, exuding an imposing aura.

Liu Shan suddenly laughed. This Song Zhongwen only brought a dozen or so followers, yet he dared to challenge Yin Nantian in Cangzhou?

Who gave him the courage?

Could there have been Malaysian women with the surname Liang during the Xia Dynasty?

As expected, Yin Nantian did not disappoint Liu Shan. He smiled contemptuously and waved his hand again. More yamen runners poured out of the government office and instantly surrounded Song Zhongwen's entourage, gaining an absolute advantage in numbers.

Yin Nantian said coldly, "Lord Song, the Cangzhou government has its own laws and regulations, and there is no need for outsiders to interfere."

Song Bowen's expression changed drastically, but he still tried to remain calm and looked at his second brother.

Song Zhongwen's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He took something out of his pocket and handed it to Yin Nantian. "Lord Yin, this is a secret order from the Dali Temple. I have been specially ordered to come and supervise this case. I hope that you will cooperate fully and prevent any further complications from arising."

Yin Nantian received the secret order, glanced at it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then sighed heavily, "Lord Song is indeed meticulous. In that case, I will cooperate."

The tense atmosphere in the government office eased slightly, and Li Polu sighed, "It seems that Prefect Yin will have no choice but to back down today."

Liu Shan remained silent, but he was thinking of something else entirely.

How similar is today's scene to his situation in Jinhua County back then!

That day, holding a document, he faced Liu Xinian and a hall full of officials, still holding his head high and speaking righteously and sternly, leaving Liu Xinian and the others speechless, and ultimately having no choice but to give in and cooperate.

Liu Shan sighed inwardly, realizing that certain historical events always seem to repeat themselves in a striking way.

At this moment, seeing that Yin Nantian's attitude had finally changed, Song Zhongwen revealed a smug smile. He then composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Lord Yin, since that's the case, let's begin immediately. I hope you will be fair and impartial and not let the truth be obscured."

Yin Nantian nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with a complex expression, and slowly said, "Lord Song, there are too many people here and too much chatter. Please move to the inner hall of the government office."

However, Song Zhongwen raised his voice and said, "Lord Yin, the case is of great importance. Only a public trial can convince the public. Does Lord Yin have any fear?"

Yin Nantian's face darkened, but he quickly regained his composure and snorted coldly, "Since Lord Song insists, then so be it, and let the trial be conducted publicly."

After saying this, he ordered his men to bring out the courtroom table and place it on the street.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the court table was neatly arranged, and Yin Nantian sat upright at the table, with the yamen runners standing solemnly on both sides, his authority undiminished.

Seeing this, Song Zhongwen felt annoyed, as Yin Nantian had stolen the limelight for no reason.

Song Zhongwen took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and steadily stepped forward to sit next to Yin Nantian.

Yin Nantian's gaze sharpened as he surveyed the entire room, and he announced in a deep voice: "What happened today..."

Song Zhongwen suddenly interrupted, "The Wei family of Cangzhou has colluded with rebels and secretly communicated with the bandit leader. The evidence is conclusive. This is a great scourge to the nation..."

Song Zhongwen spoke at length, but in summary, the central idea was that Wei Xiuying had colluded with the bandit leader Jia Qingyi, and that the Wei family had funded the rebels with the intention of overthrowing the imperial court. The case was serious and required a thorough interrogation to set the record straight.

Liu Shan sighed. The claim that the Wei family colluded with and funded the rebels was absolutely fabricated, but it was a fact that Wei Xiuying had an affair with Jia Qingyi. Jia Qingyi's identity as the leader of the rebels had already been confirmed. If this was confirmed, the Wei family would surely suffer a devastating disaster.

Yin Nantian frowned, thinking to himself, "The Wei family has always been loyal and honest, how could they collude with traitors?"

However, the evidence against Wei Xiuying is conclusive...

He sighed. The case was beyond his control, and he could only hope that Song Zhongwen would handle it fairly and spare Wei's life.

However, is this possible?
