Chapter 83: Ordered to Pick Someone Up

The Ministry of Justice has its own exclusive yamen, and Han Xu is in the yamen of the Ministry of Justice at this time.

On both sides of him, two rows of guards held thick, wide and long sticks. This kind of long stick is made of extremely hard Jinglong wood. Once it goes down, the warriors below the fifth rank will be torn apart on the spot.

There seems to be a fishy smell of blood on the long stick.

The whole front hall is filled with a solemn but gloomy atmosphere.

Sitting in the hall is a middle-aged man with a fierce face. Judging from his official uniform, he is also a high-ranking official of the fourth rank.

"Is this Han Xu in the hall?" The man suddenly slapped the gavel and asked Han Xu. As soon as the voice fell, the guards on both sides shouted in unison.

Han Xu looked at him coldly and refused to answer. When he came, he clearly said he was asking questions, but now he was thrown directly into the yamen, which was clearly an interrogation.

Han Xu was already wondering who arranged all this by letting a fourth-rank official interrogate the son of King Han and the younger brother of Concubine Ling.

He remembered that Bai Yiyi had said that the Ministry of Justice supported the fifth prince.

"How dare you despise the Ministry of Justice!" The official in the hall saw that Han Xu was silent and immediately scolded him. For a while, the sound of long sticks hitting the ground frequently sounded, and the unique rhythm seemed to have the effect of disturbing the mind.

Han Xu said coldly: "I am Han Xu, the son of King Han and the younger brother of Concubine Ling. I have always been law-abiding and well-behaved. It seems inappropriate for you to interrogate me in court, sir!"

"Humph! Yellow-haired boy! The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. We in the Ministry of Justice only talk about legal principles, not background."

"Only talk about legal principles?" Han Xu sneered, "Then tell me, which law did I break and which rule did I violate?"

"Do you know that General Wang Qian was killed?"

"You are kidding, I haven't even seen who Wang Qian is, how can I know?" Han Xu asked back.

"To tell you the truth, someone found General Wang's body. After the Ministry of Justice's investigation, it was confirmed that he died at the hands of the White Sword Demon."

"Who is the White Sword Demon? What does it have to do with me?" Han Xu said, "This sir, you can't talk nonsense."

"What does it have to do with you? You have to ask yourself." The official said, "A witness provided information, saying that you asked the White Sword Demon to kill General Wang in Wangcheng."

"What a joke, do I have a motive?"

"We have investigated, and you and General Wang's son had a conflict."

"Can you use your brain when investigating the case in the Ministry of Justice?" Han Xu said contemptuously, "If I knew the White Sword Demon and could ask him to kill someone, would I be taken here by you?"

"Don't think that you can frame me with a few words. If you have evidence, just convict me. If you don't have evidence and want to wrongly accuse me, think about the consequences yourself." Han Xu was not weak in momentum when facing the fourth-rank official of the Ministry of Justice. He knew that the Ministry of Justice could not have any evidence to prove that he had any relationship with the White Sword Demon.

Because that was him, how could there be evidence to prove that he was two people.

If you say that Han Xu killed Wang Qian, even the beggars on the street would not believe it.

You are a waste who can't practice, let alone kill, you can't even hurt a ninth-grade master.

What makes Han Xu a little worried is the meaning behind today's incident.

If they just want to target him, Han Xu won't care at all, because there will be no result, but Han Xu guessed that someone wants to use him as a breakthrough to target Han Luoling.

Therefore, Han Xu can't let these dirty water splash on himself.

"Han Xu, in the yamen, threatening the interrogating officials, do you know what crime you should be punished for?"

"If you have the guts, put me in jail and execute me." Han Xu said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "If you don't dare, then I'm sorry, I don't have time to play with you."

After speaking, Han Xu turned and left.

"How dare you! The Ministry of Justice is not a place where you can come and go as you please!"

"Come on, take him down!"

The official gave an order, and the two guards in front of Han Xu waved their long sticks to block Han Xu's way. Several guards came out, carrying iron chains and ready to tie Han Xu up directly.

But just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the yamen, the noise of the two sides arguing, and then there were several sounds of swords clashing.

Then, a figure flew over and arrived in an instant.

"Who dares to do it?"

Zhang Chi, wearing a silver armor, walked into the yamen, his sharp eyes looked around, and everyone stopped their actions under his momentum.

"Commander Zhang?" Han Xu was a little surprised to see that the person who came was Zhang Chi.

"Mr. Han, the Empress Lingfei learned that you were taken away by the Ministry of Justice, and ordered me to come down to pick you up."

"Why don't you retreat!" Zhang Chi shouted angrily while the guards around him were still surrounding Han Xu.

The guards did not receive orders from their superiors. Although they were a little afraid of Zhang Chi, they did not give in at all.

Zhang Chi frowned, shook his arms, and swung his palms in the air. The powerful force stirred up a gust of wind, and nearly ten guards around Han Xu were blown away in an instant.

Feeling Zhang Chi's pure spiritual power, Han Xu thought that the commander of the third team of the Tiance Army still had some real skills. Even among the ninth rank, he was a master. If he practiced hard, he might have the opportunity to rank extraordinary in the future.

"How dare you break into the Ministry of Justice without permission? Come on, kill without mercy!" Although the fourth-rank official was amazed at Zhang Chi's strength, this was the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice, and there were many masters in the dark.

But just as he finished speaking, Zhang Chi took out a token. Even in this dimly lit yamen, the token was shining brightly.

Seeing the token, the fourth-rank official almost lost his voice and stammered, "Tian...Tian Ce Army?"

"Zhang Chi, the commander of the third team of the Tian Ce Army!" Zhang Chi said, took back the token, and came to Han Xu. At this time, neat footsteps came from outside the door, and dozens of Tian Ce Army soldiers entered in a line.

It seemed that they had fought with the guards outside, but their breath was steady, and there was not even a trace of dust on the silver armor, which obviously did not take much effort.

"Commander Zhang!" The fourth-rank official came back to his senses and said, "We asked Mr. Han to come for questioning because of the case of the Cavalry General. According to the procedure, you should not interfere."

"I am here to pick up Mr. Han on the order of Empress Lingfei. Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy." Zhang Chi said expressionlessly, and a murderous aura permeated, and even the temperature around seemed to drop a few degrees.

The official wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare to say it. Although the Tiance Army had no official rank, they were the emperor's guards, with special identities and extraordinary skills. Under normal circumstances, no one dared to provoke them.

"Mr. Han, please!" Zhang Chi said, and then ignored the officials in the hall.

Han Xu clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Thank you, General. If you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid I would have lost my life here."

After that, surrounded by the generals and soldiers of the Tiance Army, Han Xu strode out of the yamen and left the Ministry of Justice.

As soon as he left, an official with a gloomy face walked out of the back hall of the yamen.

Seeing this person, the man who had just interrogated Han Xu hurriedly saluted and said: "Lord Xing, this..."

This person was the Minister of Justice Xing Kai. He waved his hand and said: "Don't blame you, leave."

After the man left, Xing Kai looked at the direction where Han Xu and Zhang Chi left, and seemed to be thinking about something.
