However, even after being reminded, the guards had no intention of retreating at all. Instead, Muchuan's words made them take it more seriously.
"Raise the knife!"
As soon as the thick-lipped guard raised his hand, the other two guards took up their sabers. It seemed that they were going to fight Muchuan with weapons.
Ouyang Bufan watched this scene from the corner of the yard and shouted: "It's not fair. You guards have gone too far. Isn't this just bullying Lord Muchuan who is defenseless?"
However, no matter how Ouyang Bufan shouted or even humiliated the guards, the guards remained unmoved.
The thick-lipped guard took the lead in the attack. He held an iron knife and struck at Muchuan's shoulder from top to bottom. If Muchuan didn't dodge, he might have removed his entire arm.
These guards are so cruel. Don't they know what the consequences will be if they hurt Muchuan?
Muchuan took a step back and immediately dodged the attack of the thick-lipped guard, and then spoke: "Hey, even if I really break into the official residence, I can't withstand you using the knife like this, right?
Aren’t you afraid that I will sue the emperor and have all of your heads fall to the ground?”
This is also the case in fact. Even if these guards received orders from certain powerful officials to stop Muchuan, they would not harm his life.
The guards were obviously frightened by Muchuan, and all the blades they were about to swing stopped.
Muchuan noticed that the guards were shaken, so he seized the opportunity and immediately attacked! He rushed forward violently, and Muchuan kicked the two guards in the abdomen with two heavy kicks.
After being kicked so hard, the two guards were knocked four meters away and fell heavily to the ground. Their sternums were cracked and their muscles ached. They fainted shortly after.
A soldier never tires of deception, and Muchuan took this truth to its extreme! Moreover, after the two guards fell to the ground, Muchuan quickly picked up his weapon and drew it close to him.
The thick-lipped guard was stunned when he saw this scene. Muchuan actually used such a trick to defeat the other guards. At that moment, he couldn't help but said: "My lord... you are a third-grade official, so this kind of trick is probably useless."
Bar?"
"Are you just being aboveboard when you have more people bullying less people?"
"This..." The thick-lipped guard was speechless for a moment.
When the thick-lipped guard was briefly distracted, Muchuan found an opening and slashed at him with his sword, hitting the opponent's chest with a heavy blow.
Fortunately, the thick-lipped guard had strong reflexes and quickly raised his blade to block. He successfully caught Muchuan's attack.
However, Muchuan's attack was very powerful. The powerful impact caused the thick-lipped guard to take two steps back and become unstable. However, Muchuan took advantage of this moment to wildly raise the blade and strike with the blade.
Split down.
With no other choice, the thick-lipped guard could only resist with all his strength. He held the iron knife in both hands across his head and received Muchuan's heavy blows.
At that time, the iron swords collided with each other, sparks flew, and the sound resounded continuously.
After about five breaths, the thick-lipped guard finally couldn't resist, his hands were weak, his feet were weak, and then he fell heavily to the ground.
Muchuan's knife followed this trend and fell down, but it did not hit the thick-lipped guard, but stopped one centimeter away from the opponent's face.
The thick-lipped guard couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The iron sword was almost about to take his life, but Muchuan didn't want to kill him, so he was saved.
"Yes...I lost."
After hearing the thick-lipped guard admit defeat, Muchuan threw the iron knife to the ground coolly, turned around and said hello to Ouyang Bufan.
Ouyang Bufan obviously didn't react. He was stunned for a while before he realized that Muchuan had taken care of all the guards!
"Mr. Muchuan, you are too strong! Every time I see your skills, I wonder if you are a normal human being. Could it be that you are a god descending to earth?"
Ouyang Bufan followed Muchuan, talking flatteringly.
Muchuan rolled his eyes at Ouyang Bufan: "You're too lazy to talk, we have to get down to business."
After taking care of the guards, Muchuan and his two men were about to enter the palace to see the group of officials.
Unexpectedly, before Muchuan and the others entered, someone had already come out of the palace. They were officials from the Ministry of Personnel, eight of them in total, wearing dignified and neat official robes and black mountain crowns, full of majesty and solemnity.
Among the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, the leader was Hou Junji, with a square face, big eyes, and a mustache. At this time, he was glaring at Muchuan angrily.
"Shang Shu, Hu Bu, you are so brave. Are you trying to cause trouble in my official residence?"
"Hey, isn't this the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?
I've been looking for Master Shangshu for so long, are you finally willing to give up?
I thought you fell into a pit and were waiting for someone to fish you out."
Listening to Muchuan's teasing naturally made Hou Junji angry. He had noticed Muchuan's displeasure since a long time ago, and his sharp teeth and sharp mouth were like those of a stubborn monkey.
At this time, Hou Junji looked at the injured guards on the ground and began to settle accounts.
"Shishu of the Ministry of Finance, do you have to give me a good explanation?
You have injured so many of my palace guards, if there is no reasonable reason, I will report it to the emperor!"
"Explain?
Of course!"
Muchuan then began to list Hou Junji's crimes.
One of the charges was that Hou Junji abused his power to avenge his personal vengeance! The Household Department was obviously the busiest administrative hub among the six departments, but in the end it had the smallest manpower. This greatly delayed the administrative efficiency of the entire court and affected the development of the national economy.
Another charge is that Hou Junji himself was clearly in the official residence of the official department, but he avoided it and failed to perform the official duties normally. This is a typical inaction!
Muchuan listed the two charges this time and snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the Minister of Civil Service avoiding him, I wouldn't have used such brute force to come here. You can't blame me for this."
"Mr. Mu is worthy of being the number one scholar in this dynasty. He is eloquent and has the ability to quarrel with other scholars! He said, I can't argue with you... If you insist on arguing with me, just do it in the Jinluan Hall.
Bar!"
After saying this, Hou Junji turned around and was about to return to the main hall of the official residence.
It seems that Hou Junji wants to escape. How can Muchuan let him escape? The matter has not been solved yet! If we really want to argue with Hou Junji in the court, I am afraid that after this process is completed, the Ministry of Household Affairs will collapse.
Got it!
"Hey, I haven't finished speaking to the Minister of Civil Affairs yet! Don't leave!"
Muchuan rushed over with a big stride and stopped directly in front of Hou Junji.
Hou Junji shook his sleeves and said angrily: "What's the matter?
I have made it very clear to Master Mu that if you have anything to do, just say it in the hall! In short, our staff all act in accordance with the law, but there is no abuse of power and no achievements like what you said!"
