In the reception room of Ouyang Workshop, Xiao Chen sat casually at the table.
The left leg was placed on the right leg, and the ankle seemed to be uncomfortable, shaking a few times from time to time.
In the main room at the back, Ouyang Qianhu's wails could be heard, and the dull sound of bones breaking when the back of the knife hit his body.
It seems that Ouyang Qianhu is too strong, or the weight of the blade is a little too light, so the back of the blade is not very powerful when it hits him. Only when Duan Tianming panted and shouted for substitution, Ouyang Qianhu could occasionally be heard making a heavy blow.
Breathing.
As the back of the knife struck with a "snap" sound, the head of the Ouyang family and Butler Zhang shook involuntarily. They didn't know how many times they shook before the sound in the back room finally stopped.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Duan Tianming was the first to walk out, sweating profusely.
He had put away his knife, and there were countless blood stains on his clothes.
The captain who came out from behind looked almost the same as Duan Tianming. The blood stains on his body looked like a slaughtered pig, which made him look intimidating.
The heads of the Ouyang family and Butler Zhang had pale faces without any blood. They could not imagine how terrifying and tragic the scene would be when a living person was beaten to death with the back of a knife.
Especially for the head of the Ouyang family, no matter how disappointed and sad he was for Ouyang Qianhu, he was his own son after all. Every sound of the blade slapping was like a slap on his own body.
Just when everyone was shrouded in terror, Xiao Chen leaned his head on the back of the chair and snored slightly.
Duan Tianming grinned awkwardly, walked up gently, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Mr. Xiao, we have finished dealing with him."
"Yeah." Xiao Chen opened his eyes, "Why did it take so long? The sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong sound hypnotized me."
As he said that, he put down his left leg, moved his body back, and said, "Are you sure he's dead? Don't beat him half to death and let him save his life."
Lying next to Xiao Chen's ear, Duan Tianming lowered his voice: "No, I'll beat him to a pulp."
"Why are you so cruel?" Xiao Chen suddenly stood up, "However, you still can't be too kind to such an unfaithful and unfilial person. Let's kill him as a warning to others."
As if remembering that he was here to pick up the goods, Xiao Chen walked to the wooden box and patted the box twice with his hand.
"Carry this box up and let's go to Yizhou Yamen."
Glancing at the head of the Ouyang family and housekeeper Zhang standing in the center of the living room, Duan Tianming asked, "What about these people from the Ouyang family?"
"Bring them all, no one from the entire family will be left out." Xiao Chen raised his right hand, covered his mouth, and let out a long yawn.
...
Yizhou Yamen, the Yamen gate is wide open. Two Yamen servants stand majestically on both sides of the gate.
In the lobby, since there was no case to be heard, Zhizhou Lan Liqun was sitting on a wooden chair behind the case desk, chatting wordlessly with the colleague next to him.
The day before yesterday, after delivering more than 200,000 taels of silver to Tianyi Inn, Xiao Chen smiled brightly and did not refuse, nor did he mention anything about the guards.
In Lan Liqun's view, this matter was finally wiped away with the power of money.
Therefore, he was in a particularly good mood these two days. Without any pressure in his heart, he naturally liked everyone. When there was no case, he no longer asked the government officials to stand seriously in the lobby.
Outside the lobby, at the foot of the sunny wall, several government servants held wooden sticks and gathered together to bask in the not-so-warm sun, bragging from all over the place.
Although he had been in Yizhou City for several days and met with Yizhou Zhizhou twice, Xiao Chen had no idea where the Yizhou government office was, so he could only let Butler Zhang of the Ouyang family lead the way.
The group of people arrived at the gate of the state government office. Although the yamen officer on duty at the gate did not recognize Xiao Chen, he was very familiar with Butler Zhang. He looked over with a smile on his face.
"Steward Zhang, what brought you to the Yamen today?"
With a straight face, Butler Zhang replied coldly: "The court is handling the case, so don't ask so many questions."
"Hey, when did Butler Zhang become a member of the imperial court? Could it be that these people behind you are members of the imperial court." Although the two government officials did not stop him, they burst out laughing.
Xiao Chen, who was following Butler Zhang, couldn't help but frown.
As Xiao Chen's personal bodyguard these days, Duan Tianming has already mastered the practice of observing words and emotions.
As soon as Xiao Chen's face showed a trace of displeasure, Duan Tianming rushed out: "Go away, if you continue to make sarcastic remarks, I will take you down together."
These words shocked the two government officials.
If you look closely, you will see that the other party has a serious face and a knife on his body. Especially since Butler Zhang is leading the way, he should really be handling the case for the imperial court.
At that moment, he closed his mouth and stepped aside obediently.
Entering the state government compound, a group of government officials who were sunbathing at the base of the wall stood up one after another.
Seeing so many people entering the gate of the state government office, I wanted to go up and question them, but when I thought there was someone guarding the door, they were all let in, so it was none of my business.
Just watching Xiao Chen and his entourage walk into the lobby of Yizhou Prefectural Government Office, no one came forward to pay attention.
Lan Liqun, who was chatting with his colleagues in the hall, saw Butler Zhang walking into the hall and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Why is he here? Could it be that the head of the Ouyang family has come up with something else?
Just as he was about to step forward to ask, Xiao Chen's figure also walked into the lobby.
Lan Liqun was shocked, stood up hurriedly, and jogged to Xiao Chen.
"Master Xiao, why do you have time to come to my Yizhou Yamen?"
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly: "I came here because I want to borrow the Yizhou Prison with Lord Lan."
"Borrowing the prison?" Lan Liqun frowned.
There were people who were borrowing money, there were people who were borrowing things, and there were people who were borrowing things from prison. This was the first time he had heard of it.
The prison is a place used by the state government to detain prisoners. Is that something you can borrow casually?
Lan Liqun's face was filled with an embarrassed smile: "Master Xiao is joking, this prison is a regular establishment of the imperial court and is used to hold prisoners. Why do you want to borrow it?"
"Of course we use prisons to hold prisoners." Xiao Chen pointed to the door, "Look, they are all members of the Ouyang family. They committed the crime of harboring, so I brought them here and wanted to imprison them in Yizhou Prison."
I stretched my head and looked out the door. It was completely dark, and there were about a hundred or so people there.
"Criminal of shielding? Mr. Xiao said, are they all guilty of shielding?" Lan Liqun felt excited in his heart. He was a little bit unbelievable, but also a little secretly happy.
Incredibly, Mr. Xiao said that they had committed the crime of harboring, which proved that Ouyang Qianhu had sneaked back into the Ouyang family.
I am secretly happy because judging from these numbers, I should have captured more than half of the Ouyang family. If the Ouyang family falls, I can rearrange others to take over.
