Chapter 105 Jiangdi decree, the weight is too light
Zhengzun Building.
At the banquet hosted by Mr. Jiang Di Zhengling.
Finally the knife was used and blood was seen.
This martial arts master, who was the pinnacle of existence in the mortal world, died just like that!
"How dare he?"
Everyone exclaimed and couldn't believe it.
The atmosphere in the venue was stagnant to the extreme.
Zheng Yuanshan felt as if he had been struck by lightning and could not believe it.
——
Zhuang Ming put his hands behind his back.
There was a shadow as thin as a hair that penetrated into the sleeve.
It was he who used the power of the dragon to suppress Yuan Tao's blood and hit him.
Lu He took advantage of the situation and drew his sword, and the body and head of a powerful warrior were separated.
"Be bold!"
The deputy commander glared at Lu He and shouted: "How brave are you to kill someone in front of me?"
At this moment, many tolerance officers have surrounded him.
In the territory of Da Chu, those who are qualified to serve as tolerance officers are all people who have gathered strength and mastered martial arts.
At this moment, there were many people who were surrounded by the second level, and there were six people who were apparently at the master level.
In the Dongsheng Dynasty, this was the gathering of most of the martial arts background.
But here, it's just a local official's official business, and... the official businessmen who are present to maintain order in the Zhengzun Building only have 20% of the official businessmen in Jiangdi.
"If he wants to kill me, I can't just sit back and wait for death, right?"
Lu He sheathed his sword and said, "I am protecting myself, and everyone present is a witness."
The deputy commander said solemnly: "Whether you want to protect yourself or not, it doesn't matter what you say, it's what I say! Take it!"
Everyone gathered around, ready to take action.
Lu He looked at Zhuang Ming and asked slightly.
Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand slightly and said: "Master Deputy Commander, the laws in Jiangdi were set by the Chu Dynasty, not you?"
Everyone's eyes became more and more surprised.
Who is the person who came to Jiangdi to replace Fu Laogui?
When you first arrived, you dared to kill someone on the spot at the banquet hosted by Lord Jiangdi Zhengling?
Do you dare to contradict the deputy commander on the spot?
So bold and reckless?
"you……"
The deputy commander's face was cold.
He also received the benefits of Fu Lao.
After all, no matter how powerful Zhuang's Trading Company is, it is still a private trading firm.
This person came to replace Old Ghost Fu, how dare he contradict him like this?
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, and businessmen are also among the people.
"When it comes to the law, even if you are protecting yourself, if it involves murder, you must be judged carefully."
At this moment, a man slowly came over. He was over sixty years old. There was an order hanging on his waist, which was clearly a formal order.
Everyone saluted one after another and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhuang Ming also smiled and said, "Is this Lord Zhengling?"
The old man in his sixties said: "It's me."
Zhuang Ming slightly cupped his hands and said, "My name is Zhuang Ming, and I am the head of Zhuang's trading company."
Jiang Di's command showed a strange expression. Not only him, but also the deputy commander and others all showed expressions of surprise.
They all guessed that this young man was the person in charge of Zhuang's Trading Company in his hometown, perhaps a descendant of the real owner, or a higher-level manager. They never thought that he was actually the owner of Zhuang's Trading Company?
How old was he a few years ago?
Fu Laogui, Zheng Yuanshan, Yue Ting and the dead Yuan Tao were all sent by him?
"You are really young and promising."
Jiang Di Zhengling sighed with emotion, then looked at the corpse on the ground, walked closer, and whispered: "He is courageous and ruthless enough, but it is a pity that he is a bit reckless and not as calm as Brother Fu."
Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "What do you think, Master Zhengling?"
Jiang Di Zhengling said slowly: "Your man killed Yuan Tao on the spot. I, the Jiang Di government, have the right to arrest him and imprison him to investigate the matter thoroughly... If it is found that intentional homicide was committed, he should be executed! If it cannot be verified, he can be killed."
Let go! Investigate this matter thoroughly, the deadline is one year!"
In other words, although it was self-protection and everyone present knew it, if it were true, according to the law, the Jiangdi government could still imprison Lu He for one year for the murder just now.
Zhuang Ming just laughed but did not respond.
Jiang Dizheng stood with his hands behind his back and said: "However, since everyone knows that he is protecting himself, I will not take him into custody."
Zhuang Ming said slowly: "Master Zhengling enforces the law impartially and can also show kindness outside the law. The law is also humane. I really admire it."
When everyone heard this, they all agreed and responded.
Jiang Dizheng's eyes narrowed slightly and he said again: "Take care of it."
The deputy commander nodded in agreement.
Zheng Yuanshan's face was pale. Looking at Yuan Tao who was killed on the spot, his heart was extremely shocked at this moment.
There are not many old friends from back then, but Yuan Tao is the only one who is on his side.
He is also his most trusted master.
But when the young master arrived, he killed Yuan Tao first.
And it wasn't the kind of secret ambush, erasure of clues, and unproven attack that he imagined.
But in public, in full view of everyone, in front of the two masters, the Chief Ling and the Deputy Ling, he killed such a great master as Yuan Tao!
Such drastic measures are completely unlike the young master's past behavior.
But it made him feel even more chilled.
He couldn't see through this young master even more.
But I also realized more deeply that the young master was cruel and ruthless.
——
Within the venue.
The atmosphere was extremely stagnant.
"The head of the Du family..."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it."
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, with a hint of self-deprecation.
Just before Zhuang Ming arrived, he received news that the pharmacy under his own name had been bought out of the school's healing medicines, but the healing medicines in Zhuang's trading company's pharmacy were only half the price.
He immediately understood that this was the work of Zhuang's Trading Company.
Fu Laogui only had half a breath left. Yue Ting was not a business person.
It happened today, and today Yueting received another person in power!
He was very angry, this person's methods were too sinister, and he was about to meet him here for a while.
After seeing this scene, how could you still dare to meet him for a while?
Yuan Tao, who was at the Grand Master level, died mysteriously on the spot.
Zheng Yuanshan was so shocked that his face turned pale.
And now Jiangdi's Lord Zhengling has spared even the most basic detention and interrogation... Doesn't this mean to show goodwill to Zhuang's Trading Company?
"This young man does not act according to common sense and dares to kill people on the spot. He cannot be dealt with."
The head of the Du family had a complicated look on his face. If he were Fu Laogui today, he would not be afraid at all, but he would be very fearful in his heart.
But this young man was really afraid.
However, such an impulsive young man is not as calm as Fu Laogui.
How can a momentary enthusiasm last long?
"It's too hard and easy to break, and sooner or later he'll be doomed."
——
The atmosphere of the banquet is completely different after killing someone.
But Zhuang Ming seemed completely unaware.
Jiang Di Zhengling was also talking and laughing as usual.
But Yue Ting and Lu He also had complicated moods.
Yue Ting first came to Dongyuan Realm and regarded Yuan Tao as a companion and supported each other. Only this year, he began to be wary of each other and became vaguely hostile. However, after all, they were companions who walked side by side.
Lu He had a very good relationship with him, and today he personally killed him, which was also a bit uncomfortable.
"Brother Fu, how are you today?"
"Fu Lao is recovering well."
Zhuang Ming said: "The old man was seriously injured, but the doctors at Zhuang's Trading Company are very accomplished, and there are many precious medicines in Dongyuan Realm. He is gradually recovering. Today he is able to get out of bed and walk. I think he will be fully recovered in the next two days."
recover."
Jiang Dizheng Ling looked strange, but he just nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good, very good..."
His eyes swept over Zheng Yuanshan's location, and a complex look passed through him.
Zhuang Ming's expression remained unchanged, he just drank a glass of wine and put it down.
But in his heart, he felt slightly depressed.
Jiang Di Zhengling's reaction was a bit off.
The dragon in his sleeve restrained its breath.
But I can still feel the pressure coming from the command.
This is a rather extraordinary magical weapon.
——
Zheng Yuanshan sat there, still looking dazed.
The young master's move was so unexpected.
Jiang Di Zhengling's reaction was also too unexpected.
"We haven't seen each other for several years, and Zhuang Ming has changed his past behavior."
"He is new here and is not familiar with anything. Why is he so bold?"
"Is it just to establish prestige?"
"Use thunderous means to kill chickens to scare monkeys, and use Yuan Tao's head to frighten merchants in the Jiang area?"
"But……"
There was too much confusion in his heart, but in the end, it turned into the desolation of a rabbit dying and a fox pitiful.
Yuan Tao, who was traveling with him, died after all.
Zhuang Ming has always been tortuous in his actions and has deep conspiracies. This time, with the power of thunder, he is so fierce that he must have someone to rely on.
With both profound planning and sharp methods, he could no longer see through his former master.
He also became more...fearful...
"I am not as powerful as him, and I am not as smart as him. I even served him in my early years. I have been shattered by his actions..."
Zheng Yuanshan closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and thought to himself: "Only the Zhou family can protect me!"
I thought that after spending several years in the broader Chu Dynasty, my horizons were higher than those of the Dongsheng Dynasty, and already higher than Zhuang Ming.
But today, Zhuang Ming is using this thunderous method on the land of the Chu Dynasty!
He suddenly realized that Zhuang Ming, who had sent them to Dachu a few years ago, had never limited his vision to the Dongsheng Dynasty?
In an instant, I couldn't help but feel bitter.
——
At this moment, Jiang Di was ordering his Excellency to plan future business opportunities with everyone, and they seemed to have completely forgotten about the scene just now.
But when his eyes occasionally glanced at Zhuang Ming, he still felt a little nervous.
Just when Yuan Tao was beheaded, his official order was shaken for a moment.
The official orders of Jiangdi are related to everything in Jiangdi.
But the turbulent moment before seemed to represent... a powerful force.
"How can Yuan Tao be so bold as to dare to take action here?"
"If a dignified martial arts master really wanted to take action, why would he be killed with a single sword?"
"This person is not reckless and impulsive, but he has a strong sense of confidence."
"How can he be able to make both Fu Laogui and Zheng Yuanshan obey his orders, make Yue Ting convinced and Yuan Tao frightened, just a young and frivolous person?"
"It's a pity that he is from overseas, so it is difficult to find out his details, his deeds and past."
"But this person... is not only highly capable, but his methods are unpredictable and ruthless. If he succeeds Old Ghost Fu for a long time, we must be cautious in our Jiangdi territory."
Jiang Di was thinking this way, and the superficial business of this banquet had come to an end.
——
Have tried all the wine and food.
Zhuang Ming gently put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "The banquet is about to end, we are ready to go back."
Yue Tingcuo said in astonishment: "Aren't you going to pay a visit to Lord Zhengling?"
More than just paying a visit to Lord Zhengling?
Since the young master is here in person and wants to personally inquire about local business, he should also leave an impression on other local businesses.
How can we prepare to go back now?
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Zhuang Ming looked as usual.
This old guy, the city is too deep.
But in public, he was so obviously biased towards Zhuang Ming.
But is it really a bias?
Zhuang Ming patted the hem of his clothes and thought to himself: "Jiang Di's decree is too light to make me think too much. I want to take a moment to see the Palm Seal Mansion Master who is in charge of the ten places.
