There is nothing wrong with Xia Zhengjun as the state leader of Tianyun Mountain City. He has worked conscientiously since he took office and has done good things for the sake of the people. However, he has never been used to the rampant influence of Jianghu forces, and what he hates the most is Jianghu forces invading officials.
The authority of the family.
Xia Zhengjun had seen with his own eyes the grudges in the world, the taking of lives, and the indiscriminate killing of innocent people. He had long heard about Chang Shisan's destruction of the Xingyue Sect. Xia Zhengjun believed in official laws and did not tolerate lynchings in the world.
The foreman of the prefecture's police force was named Xiang Xian. He was the second eldest son in the family, so people called him "Brother Xiang."
This person is full of justice, conscientious in his duties, and not rigid in his conduct. He knows how to advance and retreat, and knows the current affairs. Xia Zhengjun thinks highly of him.
…
Wen Hui and others took Song Yi back to Hongyu Bank, but Song Yi did not find any chance to escape from the four people along the way.
Just as Song Yi was being escorted into the bank, a group of officers in official uniforms passed by the bank, and the leader was Xiang Xian.
After seeing this, Song Yi suddenly shouted to these people: "Help! Help! Brother, help!"
Song Yi would rather be taken away by the guards and beaten up in the Yamen for not paying the money than to stay at Hongyu Bank. If Hongyu Bank was really a force of the Tianyunshan sect, he would have no chance of survival.
When Xiang Xian heard someone calling for help in the bank, he rushed in with his men without hesitation.
When Xiang Xian saw Song Yi being firmly suppressed by three people, he couldn't help but shouted: "Let him go!"
Wen Hui was reporting to Sun Zhongchun in the back hall at this time.
In Zhongchun, he was shocked when he heard that Song Yi used all the moves of the Tianyun Mountain School. Ordinary secret learning and training would definitely not achieve Song Yi's level of cultivation. What is the identity of Song Yi?
In the front hall, Song Yi begged Xiang Xian: "Brother, please help me and take me out of here!"
Naturally, the three people holding him couldn't let go.
Zhongchun heard the noise in the front hall and walked out from the back, followed closely by Wen Hui.
Zhongchun clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang is here. Why don't you say hello to me? I can also entertain you."
"Master Sun, what's going on?" Xiang Xian asked.
Zhongchun sat down on the chair and said: "Brother Xiang, this person borrowed money from my bank and refused to repay it, and tried to run away from the city. Do you think I can tolerate him?"
Song Yi raised his voice and shouted: "Why do you arrest me before the one-month deadline is up? Brother, the police officer, make the decision for me!"
Wen Hui said: "Yes, the deadline has not expired. But you want to go out of town, that's okay. How can we catch you if you don't run away."
"I didn't! I didn't want to run away! Isn't it okay to just walk around the city gate?" Song Yi began to defend himself.
Zhongchun stood up, took a step forward towards Xiang Xian and said, "Brother Xiang, listen, I don't think normal people would believe this kind of nonsense. What do you think?"
Although Xiang Xian is not stupid, it is reasonable and common for people who borrow money to run away without repaying the money. Xiang Xian's situation is not uncommon.
"Brother Xiang, I won't bother you with this kind of person. It's too troublesome to send him to the Yamen. Let me handle it, brother. Take him down!" Zhongchun gave an order.
Song Yi called for help again: "Brother, policeman, save me! They are abusing lynching, your yamen has to make the decision for the villain!" He struggled as hard as he could, praying silently in his heart: Take me away quickly.
In the early spring of Zhongchun, he felt more and more that Song Yi was not a simple person. Song Yi was taken away by Xiang Xian, and what was waiting for him was the Yamen's board, and it would not end well.
Could it be that he asked Xiang Xian so urgently because he was afraid of staying in the bank? Then think about what is hidden behind this man's Tianyunshan style kung fu!
Of course, in Zhongchun, Xiang Xian could not be allowed to take the person away, and Song Yi could not be released until the secret about Song Yi was figured out.
Xiang Xian is the same as Xia Zhengjun. Official laws are natural and right, and abuse of lynching is illegal. However, Xiang Xian is not as stubborn as Xia Zhengjun. A small person like him does not dare to openly oppose Jianghu forces.
A yamen's tolerance cannot deal with the Jianghu sects no matter what. Opposing the Jianghu forces is nothing more than hitting an egg with an egg against a stone.
Justice must be upheld where it can be upheld, and where it cannot be upheld, one must learn to compromise. A small character like Xiang Xian will never be able to turn things around.
Xiang Xian didn't know that Hongyu Bank was a firm of the Tianyunshan sect. For Xiang Xian, he still had to try his best to do what he could manage. Ordinary firms had little power, and ordinary businessmen were a weak group in front of the government.
Xiang Xian certainly could not sit idly by when faced with the banker's attempt to resort to lynching.
He stepped forward to stop him and said: "Wait a minute! Master Sun, since this person has not kept his promise, the punishment should be our Yamen's responsibility. It is Xiang's duty to bring this person back and impose corresponding punishments."
"Brother Xiang, this is your fault. We, Hongyu Bank, also want to establish our prestige. I cannot let this man go," Zhongchun said.
Xiang Xian threatened and said: "Master Sun, the country has national laws. It is not the owner's turn to deal with such a person!"
The atmosphere in the bank suddenly became tense. Xiang Xian did not want to make concessions, and Zhong Chun could not let him go.
Zhongchun said: "If Brother Xiang said this, don't blame Sun for not giving Brother Xiang face." Then Zhongchun ordered Wen Hui: "Wen Hui, take the person away from me."
Xiang Xian's face immediately became ugly. He didn't come alone, there were about a dozen yamen brothers standing behind him. This was his strength.
A dozen brothers are more than enough to deal with a small bank. With such a comparison in strength between the two sides, he naturally thinks that suppressing Sun Zhongchun is a piece of cake.
"Whoosh!" Xiang Xian suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist! The servants behind him stepped forward one after another and surrounded Sun Zhongchun, Wen Hui and others.
Xiang Xian is the leader of the Yamen Tolerance Service, and he is usually regarded as the number one person in Tianyun Mountain City. He always has the prestige he deserves.
He has never seen a small business owner dare to go against him.
Not to mention the state-owned and national laws, these people cannot be allowed to abuse lynching. Just say that Sun Zhongchun openly refuted his own face, and Xiang Xian was naturally unhappy.
As the helmsman of the Tianyun Mountain Sect, Sun Zhongchun has experienced a lot of storms and waves in the world. Seeing Xiang Xian and others wielding swords and guns in front of him, the strength in his hands quietly surged up, almost to the point of exploding.
Come out and attack.
On the territory of the Tianyun Mountain Sect, someone actually dares to draw a sword!
When Wen Hui saw this, he said "Whoosh!" and drew his sword out of its sheath. Wen Hui and Zhong Chun then faced off with Xiang Xian's group.
The Tianyunshan sect has always been cautious about people in the yamen, and disputes can be avoided if possible. Sun Zhongchun and others did not take action first.
Xiang Xian gave an order: "Take the person away!"
The official rushed forward, snatched Song Yi Wenhui from their hands, and quickly moved to stand in front of these people.
Wen Hui was unwilling to take action rashly. Unexpectedly, Xiang Xian saw him blocking the front, and with the cooperation of other officials, he suddenly attacked. Wen Hui was unable to dodge, and Xiang Xian's knife fell on Wen Hui's shoulder.
In an instant, Xiang Xian's knife was covered with blood.
