Staring at Li An, Xiao Chen stood up slowly, and the words in his mouth were as cold as a knife: "The person in front of you is Li An, the Minister of Punishment?"
Li An was stunned, what was he doing? Using his purple clothes that were no longer wearing for a few days to show off?
At that moment, he sneered: "Master Ziyi is also the captain of Dongchang. He has been on the front line arresting important criminals all year round. He should be very familiar with this capital. Don't you know where you are coming tonight?"
Hearing Li An talking to Xiao Chen like this, Wang Wencheng who was following behind him knelt down with a "pop". His whole body was lying on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
"Who is kneeling on the ground?" Xiao Chen asked Wang Wencheng as if he didn't hear Li An's contemptuous words.
Wang Wencheng was still lying on the ground and said in an almost trembling voice: "The villain Wang Wencheng is the steward of Shangshu Mansion."
"Ask your Lord Shangshu to come over to see me, and take away this wild dog in the hall that doesn't understand etiquette." Xiao Chen stood up and said coldly.
Ren Xiaochen thought about it, but he never expected that the person who initiated the attack on him in the court was actually a fool with no brains. I really don't know how he became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice for so many years.
Or is it that he is so confident that he doesn't take himself seriously at all?
At this moment, Xiao Chen really wanted to chop off his head with a knife, but when he thought about such an idiot, there must be a mysterious force behind him that was adding fuel to the fire. If he wanted to dig out this force, the idiot in front of him couldn't die so early.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chensheng suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Master Ziyi, the one who is talking to you is Mr. Li, the Minister of Punishment." Wang Wencheng's voice was as low as speaking in his stomach.
Xiao Chen stopped talking, put his hands behind his back, stared into Li An's eyes, and walked towards him step by step.
For some reason, when Xiao Chen looked at him, Li An seemed to smell a hint of death.
He suddenly felt extremely regretful about his arrogant attitude just now. He himself didn't know why he was so rude to Xiao Chen.
Is it innate prejudice, confident self-confidence, or deep jealousy of Qilin Ziyi hidden deep in his heart?
At this moment, seeing the undisguised murderous intent in Xiao Chen's deep eyes, he felt a chill on his neck. All he could see in front of him was the horror of Cang Cheng on the guillotine, his head being chopped off, his legs kicking wildly, struggling to his death.
scene.
"Dong dong dong." Following Xiao Chen's footsteps, Li An's heart seemed to have a huge hammer, following his steps, hitting him one after another.
With every blow, my heart breaks into pieces.
"One, two, three..." When Xiao Chen took the third step, Li An could no longer breathe, big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his knees became weak, and with a "pop", he collapsed.
He knelt down on his own initiative.
The brightly colored second-rank official uniform of the imperial court was worn by him on his knees.
"Li An, do you know your guilt?" Xiao Chen stopped three feet in front of Li An and said calmly.
In Li An's eyes, the expressionless face was like Yama in hell, making him unable to breathe on his own.
"I'm guilty, I'm guilty." Li An's arrogance just now disappeared into the mist, and he lay on the ground motionless.
"Convicted? I want to hear what crime you committed." Turning sideways, Xiao Chen no longer looked at him, but at the ancient sword that was firmly fixed on the wall with a few square iron nails.
.
"Seeing Ziyi, it's like the emperor is here in person. Not only did the official not kneel down, but he even spoke arrogantly. The official is so bold that he deserves to die." Lying on the ground, Li An changed his body and trembled. The cold sweat on his back had covered the entire official uniform.
Shit, I wish I could say all the words of self-blame.
"Is it in your heart that the purple clothes on my body can no longer be worn for a few days, so you don't have to worship me, so you can speak out nonsense without restraint? I want to know who gave you the courage." Xiao
Chen said calmly.
At this moment, in his eyes, Li An's name has been written on the book of life and death. The only thing he can do is to survive until he finds the real mastermind behind this incident.
"I know my mistake. Please forgive me for your loyalty to the court and the conscientious work of the Ministry of Justice." Li An's whole body was like chaff, but he was avoiding Xiao Chen's questions.
It seemed that Li An didn't shed tears without seeing the coffin, and was still resisting in his heart. Xiao Chen stopped questioning him and changed the topic.
"Li An, what do you want to show the visiting guests by hanging such an ancient sword on the wall?" Xiao Chen lowered his right hand from behind and slowly touched the hilt of the blade at his waist.
Hearing Xiao Chen ask this, Li An slowly raised his head and looked at the ancient sword on the wall.
"Sir, this is an ancient sword that Xianguan accidentally obtained. It is extremely hard and cannot be sharpened. Xianguan hangs this sword here just to show the world that in the process of law enforcement by the Ministry of Punishments, people should be
Like this ancient sword, the stance is firm and cannot be shaken." As if he had forgotten his current situation, when he said this, there was a hint of pride in Li An's tone.
"Stand firm? Are you worthy of being said to be firm, and worthy of hanging a hard ancient sword here to show off yourself?" Xiao Chen snorted coldly.
It felt like the living room was dim for a moment, and there seemed to be a blue light flashing in the air. By the time Li An came to his senses and tried to look for this light, the surroundings had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
, only the bright oil lamp on the wall still flickered.
Not to mention Li An, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, even Wang Wencheng, who was once a member of the Army's First Hundred Households and thought he was very skilled, could not see clearly where the faint light came from and where it receded.
With a "clang" sound, the ancient sword that was firmly fixed on the wall was split in two from the middle and fell to the ground. The crisp sound echoed in the living room.
Wang Wencheng was shocked. He knew very well how hard this ancient sword was.
When Li An got this ancient sword, he wanted to use it as his own sword. He handed over the matter to Wang Wencheng.
However, Wang Wencheng spent two days grinding on the whetstone, but the edge of the ancient sword was not polished, it was just a little brighter.
Now, he was split into two by the purple-robed captain of Dongchang using a technique that he couldn't even see clearly. How could he not be frightened?
In his mind, he originally thought that this person was just a quick thinker and eloquent, and that was why he got the unicorn and purple clothes given by the emperor. Now it seems that this person's skills are more powerful than he could imagine.
