Chapter 441
Every time the sound rang out, it felt like a heavy hammer hammering into their hearts.
'Uh-huh. '
As the dim light of noon illuminated the tall figure, the imperial guards guarding the door held their heads high and shouted respectfully with the highest etiquette of a guard: "We pay our respects to Lord Xu."
'Clap. '
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shan, still holding a bloody man in his hand, stood in front of the representatives of all the sects.
Looking at the bloody man's attire, the old eunuch who had just criticized Xu Shan blurted out, "Isn't this the Chang Jian Cheng of the Imperial Household Department?"
"Who?" Yue Buqun asked in surprise.
"Before, he was the one who read out the imperial edict to Lord Xu, but it was sent back."
"Now, why is it like this now?"
The old eunuch's words really caused an uproar in the entire scene!
Some people even felt their scalps tingling and their hearts suddenly felt as if someone was holding them, making it difficult to breathe.
Not only did they beat the supervisor of the imperial edict from the Ministry of Internal Affairs like this, but they also dragged him out of the palace?
No matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like someone is being questioned!
"What's going on?"
Looking at so many representatives of sects outside the palace, Xu Shan asked subconsciously.
Hearing this, one of the imperial guards at the gate quickly stepped forward to explain, and then whispered a few words.
"Oh?"
"Is there still this?"
As he said this with a sneer, Xu Shan cast a sharp look at the gossipy old eunuch.
‘Poof! ’
Just this one glance scared the old eunuch so much that he knelt down in public.
Then, in full view of everyone, he crawled in front of Xu Shan like a dog.
During this period, he kept begging for mercy with a crying voice.
"Xu, Master Xu, it's me who's been talking too much."
"One should not make irresponsible remarks about state affairs."
"You shouldn't slander Mr. Xu."
'Snap, snap.'
When he said this, the old eunuch was already kneeling in front of Xu Shan.
He slapped himself several times in the face.
Seeing such a dazzling scene, the representatives of various sects were filled with anxiety.
"There's no need to torture yourself like this."
"After all, Feng Yan was furious, and the ministers were outraged. Who would have thought that I would not only escape unscathed, but also be planning to kill a eunuch who announced the imperial decree."
The more Xu Shan heard these words, the more the old eunuch and the representatives of the various sects felt a chill down their spines.
Before, they had only guessed that Xu Shan was fine. Now, after hearing his words, they were absolutely certain...
Despite such a big commotion, not only did he not get into any trouble, it seemed that he even took care of the Queen Mother's men.
What power and favoritism this is!
"Xu, Master Xu, I know I was wrong. ...
"Okay, do I look like a person with a small stomach?"
After he finished speaking, the old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief. But his next words made his blood pressure soar again.
"They say a prime minister has a big heart, but I, Xu Shan, am a lackey of the imperial court. I've been vindictive since I was a child!"
"what?"
'Bang, bang.'
"Master Xu, please spare my life."
Upon hearing this, the old eunuch was stunned for a few seconds and his forehead was bleeding.
The commotion outside the palace gates attracted the attention of Ding Dang, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards on duty today. (Thanks to fellow reader 'Ding Dang' for the [Character Summoning], which was owed to me by the tenth.)
"Master Xu, is this bastard bothering you?"
Just as Ding Dang finished speaking, the imperial guards beside him said, "Report to Deputy General Ding, this old man accepted money from Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect. After being found out by Lord Xu, he is begging for mercy here."
"Hmm? A eunuch on duty who accepted bribes in public should be caned to death according to the law."
"Come here, take him away and torture him."
"Yes!"
"Ah? Xu, Master Xu, Lieutenant General Ding, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Despite the old eunuch's hysterical screams, several imperial guards remained unmoved and dragged him in.
Who in the Ming Dynasty's imperial guards doesn't know that Xu Shan is the 'son-in-law' of the Heavenly Master and the brother-in-law of the commander-in-chief?
We are all family!
Even if there is no such relationship, with Xu Shan's current power in Beijing, who would dare to go against his wishes?
"Here comes Lieutenant General Laoding."
"As I should. Lord Xu, shall I send someone to return this eunuch to the Inspection Office?"
