Chapter 612
"Xu, Lord Xu?"
"We pay our respects to you, Lord Xu!"
After seeing Xu Shan lead the order to Huang Chaojie and Wang Qinian and enter the Jia Mansion, the Jinyiwei who had suffered humiliation here before all showed excited expressions.
The group saluted with the highest courtesy when carrying out a mission.
In the entire Zhenfu Division and even in the capital, who doesn’t know that Xu Shan is a well-known person who protects his own people and is vindictive?
Moreover, he is arrogant to the outside world but has no airs at home.
It's not that Huang Chaojie treats his brothers badly. But now, whether in terms of title, imperial grace, or other aspects, he can't compare with the powerful Xu Shan.
Of course, more important was Lord Xu's impressive record of never losing a foreign war and his professional prowess of "no secrets in front of me."
The head of the civil servants, Lin Ruopu, was confined to his house and was not allowed to contact the outside world; it was said that the house of Zhu Wusi, the first vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, was almost overturned.
The entire Suzhou Prefecture was at his mercy.
In such a big capital city, once the palace closed its doors, which powerful official had Lord Xu ever looked straight in the eye?
No matter whether you are a king, a general, or a high-ranking official...
I, Xu Shan, don’t indulge anyone!
Because of this, when they saw their own Huang Chenshi and invited him to solve the case, the Jinyiwei present swept away their previous decadence and anger, and each of their faces exuded a look of pious awe.
'Woof woof!'
The collective shouts of the Jinyiwei had just ended when a sudden dog barking sounded.
"Ok?"
Xu Shan looked over when he heard the sound and saw the minor official from the Ministry of Personnel who was accompanying Wang Mian, grinning while holding a wolfhound.
Its posture is even more arrogant than that of its masters.
"What does it mean to bring a dog to a crime scene?"
Xu Shan asked in surprise.
After he finished speaking, a Jinyiwei came forward indignantly and said, "Sir, Minister Wang said before that we Jinyiwei are slow in handling cases. We have no more sensitive nose than a dog."
"Take the beast for a stroll. It's concluded that this case was suicide."
Hearing this, Xu Shan sneered and glanced at Wang Mian, saying, "Damn, I've seen many people who rely on their superiors for power."
"But this is the first time I've seen someone relying on a dog for power."
"You compare the sensitivity of your nose with a dog, why the hell don't you compare your lifespan with a turtle?"
"you……"
Wang Mian, who had been humiliated repeatedly by Xu Shan at the city gate and in the imperial study, became furious and pointed his finger at Xu Shan after hearing his veiled criticism.
"Master Xu, we are here to supervise and assist in the investigation. We are not here to see you show off your power."
Chen Ke, who was extremely angry, spoke immediately.
"You freaking know this too? What were you doing here just now, being so arrogant?"
"We, the Jinyiwei, are here to investigate cases, not to listen to your barking."
"I, I...you, you..."
Xu Shan's immediate response really angered Chen Ke, the Jiangnan Censor who was respected everywhere.
Upon hearing this, Huang Chaojie, who has always been mature, felt secretly happy.
No wonder everyone in the Northern Pacification Office wanted to follow Xu Shan's lead. At least, they wouldn't be bullied when they went out.
Of course, it wasn't that Huang Chaojie didn't want to be tough, but rather that he didn't have the strength or grace to do so.
Looking across the entire capital, who could compare to Xu Shan right now? Favored by the Heavenly Master and showered with the Emperor's grace? The Four Co-governors, the Three Great Priests of the Divine Machine Privy Council, and the Seven Great Elders, all favoring him like their own son or nephew?
However, he has great strength and background!
At such a young age, he has already killed a master of Heavenly Punishment. It is said that in Suzhou Prefecture, he can hold his own against a ninth-grade master.
In the Northern Pacification Division, apart from Xing Tongzhi, who else has this ability?
'Woof woof.'
'Clatter.'
Perhaps sensing the anger of its master, the wolfhound straightened the chain and bared its fangs and claws at Xu Shan.
"This beast looks quite fierce!"
"What breed?"
"Sir, this is..."
Before the knowledgeable Wang Qinian could finish answering his master, Wang Mian, who was sitting opposite him, found an opportunity to sneer, "Master Xu, you don't even know about wolf dogs?"
"Are you ignorant?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ke echoed him, adding, "Hey, Minister Wang, you can't say that."
"After all, Lord Xu's ancestors were fishmongers. How could he know about such a rare thing?"
"Haha. Censor Chen, you're right!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian and the others' expressions suddenly changed. This was a mockery of their ancestors!
Just as they were about to make a move, Xu Shan reached out to stop them and said, "Wolfdog? Is it a wolf or a dog?"
"Ah ha ha."
"Master Xu, you don't even know whether it's a wolf or a dog?"
"Tsk! It seems that Censor Chen has already known whether it is a wolf (minister) or a dog?" Xu Shan said while pointing at Wang Mian with a playful look.
"That's natural, he is..."
"Ok?"
"Is it a wolf or a dog?"
"The Minister is a dog?"
The Jinyiwei who figured out the hidden meaning of these words suddenly came to their senses.
"Censor Chen and Minister Wang are indeed very close friends!"
"I even know whether he is a wolf or a dog."
"Haha."
When Huang Chaojie said this following Xu Shan's words, the whole place burst into laughter.
"You, you dare to insult this official?"
"Did I? I just asked him if he was a wolf or a dog, and Censor Chen gave the correct answer."
"Yes, yes."
The booing at the scene made Wang Mian's face turn ashen.
But he couldn't find any room for rebuttal.
"Brother Huang, everyone says..."
"A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit!"
"So what does this wolfhound eat?"
"You're not picky about food. You eat meat if you see meat, and you eat shit if you see shit?"
After the previous enlightenment, Huang Chaojie suddenly understood and nodded heavily: "Yes, Master Xu is right."
"It just eats meat when it sees it..."
"If you meet shit (censor), eat shit!"
"Ha ha!"
This time, everyone understood the hidden meaning of Xu Shan's words.
It seems that Lord Xu either doesn't know what breed this dog is, or he is using this wolfdog to publicly humiliate the "Minister is a dog" and "The Censor eats shit"!
I'm not afraid that gangsters can fight, I'm just afraid that gangsters are educated!
It is said that Lord Xu has never lost to anyone in verbal abuse in the government, and has never defeated anyone in fighting in the martial arts world.
They had seen the latter before; today they also had a deep understanding of the former.
It’s so fucking mean!
How could they, people with lower official positions, have the opportunity to insult and bully their own Vice Minister of Personnel and Censor of Jiangnan in public?
But Lord Xu, in order to let them vent their anger.
In just a few words, this opportunity was created for them!
Everyone laughed and repeated the questions and answers of Mr. Xu and Huang Chaojie to each other as if they were performing a crosstalk.
Everyone looked like a scoundrel, cursing Chen Ke and Wang Mian.
"You, you guys... I'm wondering who dares to make noise?"
'Woof woof.'
Chen Ke, who was furious, had just finished shouting this at the top of his lungs when the wolfhound started barking again.
'bass! ’
But this time, Wang Qinian, who followed Xu Shan, did not indulge anyone.
