There were shouts and curses outside, and even the sound of swords clashing. Shen Lian and Pei Lun looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
"Who has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?" Pei Lun said in surprise.
This is the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen. Except Dongchang, who in the Ming Dynasty would dare to provoke it?
But now, listening to the noise outside, it is clear that someone is making trouble.
Shen Lian cupped his fists and said, "Sir, I'm going to take a look."
He Xie was thoughtful, and he vaguely guessed what was going on. He had just offended Yang Huan at noon, and now someone rushed to his Qianhu Office to cause trouble. If there was no connection between the two incidents, he would be beaten to death. Don't believe it either.
He smiled coldly and said: "No matter who it is, bring them in to see me without any conflict."
Even if Yang Huan didn't come to him, he would still go to Yang Huan, but he didn't expect that Yang Huan would move much faster than he thought.
Maybe, Yang Huan is not the only one...
He Xie's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and when he saw Pei Lun below, his heart trembled, and he cursed in his heart, who on earth said that this Lu Qianhu was a coward who only knew how to flatter others? He was simply blind!
The quarrel outside quickly stopped, and after a while, Shen Lian came in with a fat man with bean-like eyes and fair skin.
He Xie recognized this man. His name was Zhang Ying. He was from a hundred households in the Qianhu Office in Dongshi. He was Xu Xianchun's cousin.
"Lu Qianhu's airs are really big," Zhang Ying said in a sinister manner as soon as he entered the door, staring at He Xie's face with unscrupulous eyes, not showing the slightest respect from the superior officer. "This hundred households are holding Governor Xu's driving notice, but I don't see you. Even if you go out to greet him, you don't even dare to stop him with a few small flags at the door. Lu Qianhu, you don't take Governor Xu seriously, do you?"
"Bold!" Shen Lian on the side stared and drew his sword, "How dare you talk nonsense? It's obviously you who forced his way into Qianhu's House!"
Zhang Ying pointed at Shen Lian: "Don't make yourself uncomfortable. I'm talking to your adults. Who do you think you are? Stay alone!"
After scolding Shen Lian, Zhang Ying put one hand on his hips and took out a piece of paper with the other hand, showed it to He Xie, and said with a sneer: "Lu Wenzhao, Governor Xu has posted here, why don't you pay your respects?"
Pei Lun was stunned. In a place like Jinyiwei, where superiority and inferiority are extremely important, when could a hundred households be so arrogant and domineering to a thousand households? Not only did he forcefully break into the Qian House, he also scolded his subordinates face to face, and even more What's too much is that in the end, he called him by his name and asked him to kneel down!
This is no longer a simple matter of face, this is simply trampling on Lu Wenzhao's dignity, and it is an insult!
Jin Yiwei has rules. For Zhang Ying's attitude towards Shangguan, it would be a frivolous thing to dismiss him directly and investigate him. Even if Lu Wenzhao kills him in front of him at this moment, no one can say no!
How dare this Zhang Ying do this? Is he crazy?
Something's wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Pei Lun was keenly aware of the danger involved. He glanced at He Xie behind the desk, but saw that his face was expressionless and he was just staring at Zhang Ying coldly.
"He's got a city on his chest, but he's quite a man..." Pei Lun muttered in his heart, clasping his fists and saying, "I have a visitor from Qianhu, so I'm sorry to have to resign first."
He chose to get out in time!
This matter had nothing to do with him in the first place, but he couldn't guarantee whether he would be involved if he stayed here and listened for a while, so without He Xie's reply, Pei Lun kept his posture of bowing and clasping his fists. He took two steps back, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Zhang Ying's arrogant attitude was interrupted by Pei Lun's departure, and he snorted slightly unhappily. His eyes returned to He Xie's face, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes.
He came today to deliberately insult Lu Wenzhao. A dog-like thing actually held the position of a thousand households, so that he had to bow down to him every time he met.
It is said that Lu Liuxu is smart in all aspects, but this person even showed up to Yang Huan's cousin during festivals, but turned a blind eye to Xu Xianchun's cousin. Why? Do you look down on him, Zhang Ying?
Although he has a hundred households, he has more subordinates than Lu Wenzhao's thousand households! Why do you, Lu Liuxu, look down on me? Do you want me to pay homage to you every time I see you?
What only made him even more embarrassed was that Lu Wenzhao just looked at him coldly and showed no reaction to his "heroic aura".
"Lu Wenzhao!" Zhang Ying glared, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
He shook the driving post in his hand: "This is Governor Xu's driving post. Why don't you kneel down and worship?"
He just wanted Lu Wenzhao to kneel down to him once, since this man would be dead anyway.
Shen Lian also realized that something was wrong at this moment. He wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent and lowered his head.
He Xie smiled like a spring breeze. He stood up, walked around from behind the desk, and walked towards Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying thought that He Xie had chosen to compromise, and his expression suddenly became bright. This was what he expected. Lu Liuxu was a recognized loser...
Clang!
puff!
There was a flash of silver light, and no one could see what was going on. However, Zhang Ying felt a heat in his heart and his body suddenly stiffened. When he looked again, he realized that there was a knife stuck in his chest!
The knife was a Miao knife, and the handle was held in the hands of He Xie, who still had a smile on his face.
He looked at his chest in disbelief, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
How is this going?
Shen Lian on the side was stunned and looked at this scene in disbelief.
He Xie drew the knife without any warning and at an extremely fast speed. He unsheathed the knife and stabbed it in one go. Without even taking a breath, the knife had pierced Zhang Ying's heart.
He Xie still smiled, stretched out two fingers, and pulled out the driving ticket from Zhang Ying's hand. Only then did Zhang Ying realize that he had been stabbed.
He was about to die, and he died at the hands of Lu Wenzhao, who was recognized as a coward in Jinyiwei.
"You..." He pointed at He Xiegang and said one word
Clang!
Lu Wenzhao suddenly used force and pulled out the knife, and blood splashed out. Zhang Ying suddenly stiffened again, with a look of extreme fear and unwillingness on his face. He stretched out his hand to grab He Xie, but the gush of blood spurted out. All the strength in his body was gone, and finally, he made a weird "grinning" sound in his throat and fell to the ground.
The sound of Zhang Ying falling to the ground was like a thunderclap. Shen Lian on the side was shaken all over. He suddenly raised his head and looked at He Xie in shock.
He Xie still had a smile on his face. He stepped on Zhang Ying's body and wiped the blood on the knife with his clothes.
Canglang!
The knife was sheathed, and He Xie chuckled lightly and said his first words since Zhang Ying came in: "Idiot!"
Shen Lian woke up from a dream, his face flashed sharply, and suddenly he clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Ying of the Hundred Households said evil words to insult Shangguan. Not only that, this thief actually went crazy and tried to assassinate you. Fortunately, he failed and was beheaded by you. Kill him on the spot! His humble position can be a witness to this matter! Pei Lun, a householder in Nanzhen Fusi... can also be a witness!"
He Xie glanced at Shen Lian, shook his head and said, "You can't afford to interfere in this matter. Just go away and pretend you've never seen it."
"Sir..." Shen Lian looked up in shock.
"This is not something that can be settled with just one life!" He Xie patted Shen Lian on the shoulder with emotion, "Leave quickly. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Shen Lian stared at He Xie for a long time, his eyes gradually becoming complicated.
In the end, he said nothing, took two steps back, bowed deeply to He Xie, and walked out.
But at this moment, a man came in.
"grown ups……"
It was Ling Yunkai who came in. He only said two words and then froze in place, looking in disbelief at Zhang Ying's body lying in a pool of blood.
