Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

At this moment, everyone understood that Song Xuan must be from a very powerful family and had a deep background in the imperial capital, otherwise he would never dare to kill people so unscrupulously.

Taking into account Song Qian's elusive movements just now, some people who were not completely on the same page with Qianhu Fangcheng immediately sheathed their swords, and some of them even spoke directly.

"Sir Song, we will not interfere in the conflict between you and Captain Liu and Captain Qianhu. We hope you will not vent your anger on us."

As soon as he said this, more than ten people present put away their weapons and kept backing away, as if they were just watching the show and had nothing to do with it.

Seeing this scene, Song Xuan couldn't help but smile, "It seems that the captain's management of this place is not an iron bucket!"

Fang Cheng's face was as gloomy as water. He never thought that things would turn out like this.

He thought he had the final say in the Qianhu Office, but he never expected that even though he fed these people so much money and valuables, he still couldn't completely subdue them!

This group of fence-sitters, once today's matter is resolved, sooner or later they will all be dealt with one by one!

What's the point of keeping a disobedient dog!

"Song Xuan, killing a colleague is a serious crime. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Some people chose to watch, while others took the initiative to stand up. At this moment, a man with the general flag token hanging on his waist was pointing a long sword at Song Xuan from a distance.

"The Xuanyi Guards are not from your Song family. Even if the commander-in-chief protects you, how can the emperor forgive you?"

Chapter 51 You thought I was here to investigate a case, but actually I was here to kill people!

In response to the general's rebuke, Song Xuan simply glanced at him calmly, then looked around at everyone, "Is there anyone else who wants to stand up?"

After he said this, several black-robed guards with general flag tokens hanging on their waists came out, and the long swords on their waists were also pointed at Song Xuan.

They are direct subordinates of the Captain, and their wealth and glory have long been tied to the Captain. If Fang Cheng is seized by the new Captain Song today, their future life will definitely be difficult.

No matter how afraid of Song Qian's skills, she had to stand up at this moment.

Song Xuan sneered, stopping Song Qian who was about to attack, and said with a smile: "I said, from now on, the rules of this Qianhu Suo will be my, Song Xuan's, rules. If anyone disagrees, you can stand up now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, nearly eight more people stood up, and a total of ten people surrounded Song Xuan in an attacking posture.

"very good!"

Song Xuan nodded in satisfaction, but seeing him bend his back, arch his body, his muscles stretched, and his bones bent, making crackling sounds. Amidst the sounds, even Song Qian felt that her brother was like a volcano, ready to erupt at any time.

Clang!

The sound of a long sword being unsheathed was heard.

Song Xuan drew his sword so fast that everyone in the hall only had time to see a streak of white light slashing out, but their bodies had no time to react.

Chichichi~~

The sound of the long sword piercing the throat rang out almost instantly.

In the hall, streams of blood gushed out like fountains, bright red and eerie, with a strong smell of blood, tinging the already solemn and dignified Qianhu Suo hall with the breath of death.

Bang bang bang!

Ten corpses covered in blood fell to the ground. Song Xuan casually kicked away the body of a general in front of him, shook off the blood dripping from the tip of his sword, and looked at the others with a faint smile.

"From now on, I, Song Xuan, will have the final say in this Thousand Households Office. If anyone still disagrees, please stand up now. I promise not to embarrass him!"

I don’t believe you at all!

Some of the captains who were still hesitating about how to stand in line now retreated in fear, fearing that if they got too close, they would be the next ones to have their necks pierced.

Those who can rise to the position of general flag or captain in Xuanyiwei cannot say that their martial arts skills are very powerful, but at least they are all acquired martial artists who have cultivated internal strength.

Ten Xuanyiwei officials with strong martial arts skills and rich experience were killed instantly by Song Xuan in one move. Are they still human?

Some people have begun to doubt in their hearts, wondering if the Song Xuan brother and sister are innate realm warriors specially sent from the imperial capital. Their fighting power does not seem to be what a post-natal realm warrior should have.

What frightened them even more was the ruthlessness and decisiveness shown by the Song Xuan brother and sister. They killed people over a disagreement. Isn't that too cruel?

The Xuanyi Guards are the emperor's personal army. It's not that you can't kill them. Even if you kill them, at least find a deserted place and do it secretly, right?

He killed the captain of the general flag so openly and without any scruples, was he really not afraid of punishment from above?

Qianhu Fangcheng felt numb all over at this moment.

In order to kill the centurion Xu Chang'an, he spent a lot of resources and hired masters from the martial arts world to murder him. Afterwards, he had to make it look like he died of drunkenness or drowning.

If you want to kill someone, you have to do it secretly and with all your efforts, but when it comes to Song Xuan, why can you just kill him openly?

Is there any reason?

There is still the law!

"Rebellion! Song Xuan, you are rebelling!"

Fang Cheng was panicking. He had been in the Xuanyiwei system for so many years and had played all kinds of conspiracies and tricks with his colleagues, but this was the first time he had seen such a ruthless person who killed people so blatantly!

At this moment, he really didn't know how to deal with such a ruthless person.

I can't beat them, and I'm not as ruthless as them. If I don't handle it right today, I might even lose my life here.

Song Xuan didn't say anything, but grabbed Fang Cheng's neck and lifted him up from his seat, then raised his hand and slapped him hard.

clap clap clap! !

The crisp sounds of slaps came one after another until the other person was beaten into a pig's head. Then he threw him to the ground and snorted in disdain.

"You're quite shameless. You slapped me so hard that my palm is numb."

After he finished speaking, he held the seal of the pacification envoy in his hand, sat upright on the armchair in the center of the hall, and looked around with a disdainful look.

"I, under the order of the Commander-in-Chief, am taking over the position of Pacification Envoy!"

Stepping on Fang Cheng's face, Song Xuan said coldly, "It was you who wrote the memorial reporting Xu Chang'an's drunken and drowned death, right?"

Fang Cheng groaned in pain, but didn't dare to speak.

"Stupid as pigs, have you been here so long that your brains have lost their ability to work? Do you think you can fool those old hands in the capital by using some superficial methods to hide the injuries and conclude that someone drowned?

Or do you still think that once Xu Changan dies, his family will be wiped out, and no one in the imperial capital will stand up for him?"

Song Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking around at the Xuanyiwei officials with a murderous look.

"To tell you the truth, before coming here, the commander-in-chief specifically instructed us that the Jiangzhe Prefecture Thousand Households Office is rotten to the core.

If it can still be used, then screen it and continue to use it. If it cannot be used, then clean it all up and replace it with a new one.

Do you think I am here to investigate a case?

Wrong, I am here to kill people!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the survivors in the hall turned pale, and some even knelt on the ground out of fear.

"Sir, Sir Song, I really don't know anything about Xu Changan's affairs!"

"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"

"I am guilty of corruption and bribery, and I bully men and women, but I really did not participate in the murder of Xu Changan. I hope you will give us a chance to live!"

"grown ups....."

"enough!"

Song Xuan shouted coldly, pointing at the group of people kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "If you want to live, you must give the commander a satisfactory explanation for Xu Changan's case!

Who do you think is of sufficient quality to satisfy the Commander?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes subconsciously fell on Qianhu Fangcheng.

Fang Cheng's swollen face showed fear, and he struggled to speak vaguely, "Crazy, are you crazy? This case cannot be investigated. In the end, we will all die!

All must die!"

When he shouted like this, a few people seemed to know something about the inside story and showed hesitant expressions.

But the next moment, several people in the crowd gritted their teeth and said, "Master Song, please give us one day. We will investigate the cause and effect of Xu Changan's death thoroughly for you!"

Song Xuan smiled helplessly and nodded slowly.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Two people stood up and carried Fang Cheng up, saying in a deep voice, "Captain, please come with us to the Imperial Prison!"

Chapter 52: Underworld forces in Mingzhou

"Master Song, if you can get a confession from Fang Cheng within one day, you must punish him severely!"

A captain bowed with fear and humility and said, "But if severe punishment is used, Fang Cheng may not be able to withstand it."

Song Xuan closed his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "I only want a confession. For the rest, I don't care about life or death!"

"I understand!"

Hearing what Song Xuan said, some of the Xuanyiwei officials in the hall who were originally anxious and uneasy, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Lord Song wants to pin the case on Fang Cheng. As for the others, he probably doesn't intend to pursue them any further.

A group of black-clothed guards carried the corpse on the ground out, and the others escorted Qianhu Fangcheng out of the hall. After everyone had gone far away, Victoria Song stared at her brother with burning eyes.

"Brother, did the commander really tell you to clean up the Qianhu Division here?"

Song Xuan shrugged, "No, I scared them!"

"what?"

Song Qian was startled, pointing to the bloodstains on the ground that had not yet been wiped clean, and whispered: "You killed so many people, can Uncle Zhao protect us?"

"It's hard to say. After all, Uncle Zhao has competitors in the Inspection Office."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "So, no matter what, we have to pin that Fang Cheng on the murder of Xu Changan.

Qianhu Fangcheng plotted to murder Xu Chang'an, a captain of Xuanyiwei. After the incident, in order to silence him, he joined forces with his accomplices to kill the newly appointed pacification envoy Song Xuan. However, he was killed by Song Xuan and other Xuanyiwei officials.

The Imperial Capital shouldn't have any objections to closing the case this way."

"There's nothing wrong with closing the case this way." Song Qian pondered for a moment and said, "But what if, I mean what if, it wasn't Fang Cheng who killed Xu Changan?"

"Is it important?"

Song Xuan looked out of the yamen with a gloomy gaze and said calmly, "You heard our previous conversation. This guy wants to kill us brothers and sisters.

Since we're bound to fall out sooner or later, why not just kill him directly?

When fighting with this kind of old official, you can't play by the rules. You have to cut the Gordian knot and catch him off guard.

Today, even if the Jade Emperor came, Xu Changan’s death must be caused by Fang Cheng, no matter what!”

Victoria Song blinked, as if meeting her brother for the first time, and whispered, "Brother, I just realized that you are more ruthless than I thought!"

"It's nothing more than self-preservation."

Song Xuan sighed, "If Fang Cheng hadn't been so murderous, I wouldn't have planned to investigate any case. It's not impossible to just go to work and slack off every day.

But unfortunately, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. There are always people rushing to reincarnate. What can I do? "

"That's true..." Song Qian seemed to be thinking about something, and continued, "What are you going to do with the remaining centurions? These fence-sitters may not really be willing to be loyal to you."

"Let's use it for now. We've killed so many people today, and that should be enough to establish our authority. I don't think they'll dare to do anything weird again in the short term.

Although I have the title of commander, I cannot really kill them all. There will be plenty of time to slowly identify who are the useful people in the future.

By the way, go to the Imperial Prison and keep an eye on it. Although the possibility is small, we still have to be prepared for any accidents. We can't let any accidents happen."

"understood!"

She knew her brother's cautious nature. After replying, Song Qian held the sword to her chest with both hands, stepped lightly on the ground, and floated out of the hall like catkins.

Looking at the empty hall, Song Xuan stood up and walked to the door. There were two rows of Xuanyiwei with small flags patrolling outside the door. When they saw Song Xuan coming out, they lowered their heads in panic.

In a very short period of time, the news that the new pacification envoy had killed more than ten captains of the hundred households and even imprisoned the thousand households had spread throughout the Qianhu Office.

Who wouldn't be afraid of this ruthless guy who kills people at will?

"How many of you!"

Song Xuan pointed to a line of Xuanyi Guards and said, "Send me the intelligence on the various underworld forces in Mingzhou!"

"promise!"

Seeing that the pacification envoy just wanted them to do something and had no intention of blaming them, they immediately bowed and accepted the order, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

It seems that the struggle between the Governor-General and the Captain-General is a power struggle. Now that the Governor-General Song Xuan has gained power, he should not intend to make things difficult for the smaller characters below.

Soon, a stack of documents was brought over by the small flags of the Xuanyiwei. Song Xuan took a quick look at it. Each volume contained records about a certain force.
