It is rare to see a flattering smile from an official of the Ministry of War, but the horse-faced man in front of him remained unmoved and said in a cold voice: "It is a routine matter for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to count the inventory of various offices of the Ministry of War."
"Counting the inventory of the various treasuries of the Ministry of War? Sir, did you hear me wrong? When did the task of counting the inventory be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate oversees hundreds of officials, and all matters related to the imperial court can be managed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Supervise hundreds of officials?
What a domineering statement this is?
The dozen or so soldiers from the Ministry of War around him were stunned, and soon began to laugh in a low voice, seeming to be quite disdainful.
"Ahem..." Chao Zheng coughed twice and smiled, "My lord, Xiaguan has been serving in Kyoto for more than ten years, and he can be considered an old man in Kyoto's official circles. If Xiaguan hadn't been serving in Kyoto for a long time,
I'm afraid I haven't even heard of the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I am so polite to you today because I respect the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, in this world, time has changed. The powerful Metropolitan Procuratorate back then
By this time, the hospital may have long been in name only, right?
Even when I was in office, I had never heard anything about the routine affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I had never thought that the Metropolitan Procuratorate would use slogans from decades ago to demonstrate to my subordinates. The inventory of the Ministry of War was a state secret, but it was
Your Majesty, you can just give me a badge and a mask and you can check it out. It's getting late now, I would like to advise you to go back and rest early."
After Chao Zheng finished speaking, the soldiers around him couldn't help laughing anymore.
Indeed, the Metropolitan Procuratorate only has its name in the capital. All the incidents caused by the Metropolitan Procuratorate fifty years ago have long since become the dust of history.
For these young soldiers who had never heard of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they would probably have regarded this man as a madman or a fool if there was not a minister explaining it.
Faced with the ridicule from around him, the horse-faced man did not change at all. He just said coldly: "The Queen was assassinated today. The explosives used by the assassin were in charge of the Ministry of War. The chief sir suspected that someone in the Ministry of War secretly colluded with the assassin. If you do not cooperate with the investigation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate,
Kill without mercy."
"What a loud tone!" Chaozheng was also a little angry and roared, "The Ministry of War warehouse is an important place of the imperial court. Without the emperor's imperial edict, who would dare to investigate?"
Having said that, a dozen or so scholars
The soldiers had already surrounded them, showing off their spears, trapping the horse-faced man in the middle.
Chaozheng knew about the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he was not afraid because some important people had given him enough confidence before. No matter what the trouble was, there would always be someone to help him clean it up.
Moreover, Chao Zheng saw that the official from the Metropolitan Procuratorate talked a lot, and thought he was afraid of him.
After all, there is only one person, and this person has a different style of conduct from the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in my memory.
If the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were really determined to do something, they would never say so many words, but would directly take action and beat you until you submit.
It's a pity that Chaozheng thought wrong. This official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is just not skilled in his own business. He just joined and hasn't got started yet.
Seeing that the swords and guns had been revealed, the horse-faced man smiled coldly: "It seems that you are really unwilling to cooperate!"
There was really too much nonsense in front of him, and even Chao Zheng became a little impatient, waving his hands and shouting: "Stop talking nonsense, get this person!"
A dozen soldiers shouted loudly and stabbed the horse-faced man with a dozen spears at the same time.
The horse-faced man turned around, leaning against the blade of the spear, and held several spears under his armpits.
The soldiers felt like they were stuck on an iron plate and were instantly unable to move.
After the horse-faced man turned around, he saw four spears under each arm. The remaining seven or eight spears were not avoided by him, but the remaining spears stopped in front of the horse-faced man even more strangely.
An inch of land.
There seems to be an invisible wall in front of the Horse-Faced Man. No matter how hard you try, you can't get close to the Horse-Faced Man's body, and you can't even touch a little bit of his clothes.
The soldiers were shocked, but they saw the horse-faced man's arm shake, and the spear in his hand broke into pieces like tofu. Then he took a big step forward and reached out to grab Chaozheng's shoulder.
Chaozheng was so frightened that his legs were weak. Although he was the minister of the Ministry of War, he was a civil servant, so he was assigned to manage the warehouse and had never played a direct game with anyone.
I had received news earlier that something was going to happen tonight, and elite troops from all over the Ministry of War had been mobilized.
Unexpectedly, this elite person was in vain in front of a person from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which made this veteran minister in Kyoto for more than ten years return to his senses instantly.
I remembered the legends about the Metropolitan Procuratorate mentioned by some older seniors.
When the opponent grabbed his shoulder with one hand, it was as if he could see his shoulder being crushed to pieces by the opponent's hand. His feet gave way and his body went as soft as a ball of mud.
The horse-faced man was carrying him, but he didn't kill him yet. He still said in a deep voice: "Take it out, Kuben. I am only ordered to inspect it."
At this time, Chao Zheng learned his lesson and knew that there would be no good results in confronting the other party now. He would tell the matter to the court tomorrow and let the big shots in the court argue among themselves.
Chaozheng then limped and invited the horse-faced man inside, and asked the counting person inside to bring the library books up: "Sir, you see, we are also counting the inventory here. We will count the inventory every month.
There is no flaw in every item, you can just take a look at it yourself."
There are many library books here. The horse-faced man is holding the library books, but his mind is not on the records in the notebook.
Chao Zheng didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he quietly looked in the direction of the backyard. From the window, he could see the carriage leaving from the back door. He felt a lot more at ease.
I thought this matter would just go away, because as long as the inventory was replenished, he would have no problem here.
Unexpectedly, the horse-faced man was looking at Ku Ben, and suddenly a sneer came from under the horse's face. Before the people around him could react, he raised his hand and punched out a stream of infuriating energy.
The invisible energy directly penetrated the wall and the courtyard door, and a horse neighed from behind the courtyard door.
Then, the horse-faced man flashed and disappeared from the room. When he reappeared, he was walking back from the backyard carrying two heads.
Chao Zheng was so frightened when he saw the other party coming over with the head that he tried not to kneel down, but his crotch was already soaked.
He knew it was over this time, and the other party was going on a killing spree!
But the horse-faced man returned to the front of the court and said lightly: "I am sneaking around outside the imperial palace in the middle of the night. I am afraid that I have bad intentions. I helped you clean it up. It should be okay, right?"
I didn't even dare to raise my head, thinking whether there was any problem or not, you had already killed people, what else was there to say?
"No...no problem."
The horse-faced man took off his cloak, wrapped the head, turned around and left, leaving Kuben in the rain.
