Chapter 134: The Investigation Department is handling the case, and those who are not involved shoul
After hearing Shi Xing's words, Tu Yuan almost fell down.
"Master Shi, this... this is not appropriate. First, we have no evidence. Second, the soldiers you brought with you may not follow the rules. If someone reports you, you will be held accountable."
Shi Xing waved his hand and said, "I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid? I will take the responsibility if anything happens. I'm not afraid to tell you that if anything happens to Lingchuan, none of you in the Investigation Department will be able to escape, and you will all be buried with him."
Tu Yuan's scalp suddenly went numb. Although he had long guessed that Ling Chuan had a good background, he did not expect that he had such great power. If he died, the entire Investigation Bureau would be buried with him?
Could it be that Ling Chuan is a royal relative?
Tu Yuan felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and he dared not guess any further: "Brother Lingchuan and I are also good friends. Since Lord Shi has said so, I will risk it. But to be on the safe side, Lord Shi should be patient."
"Why don't you just be patient? My troops are all outside the city."
"Master Shi, if you march into the city with more than 300 men, it will easily cause controversy. It is better to wait until tonight. I will arrange for the police to join forces with Master Shi's troops to surround the Xu family compound together."
When Shi Xing thought about the size of the Xu family compound, he felt that Tu Yuan's suggestion was reliable, so he nodded in agreement.
After discussing the details of the evening's operation with Tu Yuan, Shi Xing left the city to settle his troops.
At this time, Lingchuan had already made a big circle from Taihe County and returned to Ruyin County, and was only a dozen miles away from the county seat.
According to his plan, he would sneak into the city and hide under the lights. The Xu family would never have thought that he would dare to come back.
Duan Xifeng has been back in the capital for so long, he will definitely bring people to look for me.
In fact, Chuyi held back several times and didn't say it. If this news reached His Majesty's ears, who knows what would happen.
This is also the reason why Chuyi is willing to accompany Lingchuan in making trouble. Otherwise, he would tie Lingchuan up and take him away from this place.
Soon, it was dark, and the heads and guards of various departments who had gone out to search for Ling Chuan came back one after another. Even Duan Xifeng, who had not been home for three days, happened to come back today.
Duan Xifeng has not had a good time recently. His face shows nothing but fatigue and self-blame. In the past few days, the more he investigated, the more frightened he became. The Xu family is really bold and has never stopped hunting down Ling Chuan in all these days.
During the period of investigation, Duan Xifeng met people from the Xu family several times. They were holding weapons, had fierce looks on their faces, and were arrogant when facing the officials.
But this is also good news, which means that the Xu family has not caught Ling Chuan yet. He came back today to exchange information with everyone to see if there are any new clues. As a result, he saw his colleagues in the yard ready to go.
Duan Xifeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could something have happened to Ling Chuan?
Tu Yuan saw Duan Xifeng and waved at him: "You came at the right time. We plan to besiege the Xu family compound tonight. How about you lead the charge?"
Duan Xifeng suddenly felt his throat tighten, his lips dry, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke: "Did something happen to Brother Ling?"
Tu Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "You think too much. There is still no news about Lingchuan. Someone from the military department in the capital is coming to attack the Xu family compound. We are just cooperating with them."
"Military Affairs? Coming to Ruyin County?" Duan Xifeng had a question mark on his forehead.
Tu Yuan said: "Don't worry about it, just tell me whether you will do it or not."
"Dry!"
Duan Xifeng tightened the silver spear in his hand and said, "We have been fed up with the Xu family these days. If we have this chance, why should we be polite to them?"
"Okay, that's settled. After we meet up with the troops from the Military Affairs Department, we'll head straight to the Xu family compound. I don't believe it. How dare a noble family openly hunt down officials? This is tantamount to rebellion."
It was almost midnight when Shi Xing entered the city and there was no one on the streets. After the two sides met, they divided their forces and attacked the Xu family compound from four directions.
The Xu family had never thought that someone would dare to besiege the Xu family, so when several gates of the compound were smashed and countless soldiers poured into the compound, the Xu family was all dumbfounded.
However, the Xu family has always been accustomed to being domineering and overbearing, and since there were some thugs from the Criminal Investigation Bureau in front of them, they rushed up with sticks in their hands without any hesitation.
After dealing with the Criminal Investigation Bureau for some time, the people of the Xu family no longer had the slightest fear of it. Even if Duan Xifeng shouted "resisters must die" more than a dozen times, they still waved sticks at the bandits in a rebellious manner.
Duan Xifeng's frustration and anger over the past few days finally burst out at this moment, and a low but loud voice burst out from his throat: "Kill!"
'Puch! '
Duan Xifeng took the lead and stabbed the Xu family guard in the chest with a gun, then spoke again: "Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
Duan Xifeng took action, and the other guards and soldiers had no time to be polite. They chopped at the Xu family guards with their swords without mercy. For a while, the yard was filled with screams and blood.
In fact, Duan Xifeng was the most merciful one. When Shi Xing led his team into the Xu family compound, he didn't say a word and just took action immediately after receiving the order.
Not to mention resisting and fighting back, anyone standing would be chopped down by the long sword, and only those who lay down and begged for mercy would be spared.
The entire Xu family compound was filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves. Half of the people in Ruyin County were awakened. Those who were brave enough to get close to the Xu family compound and take a look were immediately frightened out of their wits.
Soon, Magistrate Luo also learned the news and had to rush over with the bailiffs from the county government.
However, his luck was very bad, as he happened to be picked on Duan Xifeng's side. So when he saw the murderous Duan Xifeng, his upper and lower teeth chattered for a long time and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. He just pointed at Duan Xifeng.
"you you……"
Duan Xifeng slapped Magistrate Luo's hand away and said, "Stop talking nonsense. The Criminal Investigation Department is investigating a case. Anyone who is not in the know should stay away."
County Magistrate Luo seemed to calm down after being patted by him. "How dare you! You can't kill innocent people indiscriminately when investigating a case. You dare to commit murder in front of this county. Do you still have the law in your eyes?"
Duan Xifeng snorted, "This man colluded with the Xu family and hunted down the officers of the Investigation Bureau. They are accomplices. Arrest him."
"You...you dare!"
County Magistrate Luo was stunned. How could these people from the Criminal Investigation Bureau even dare to touch him?
"I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Do you dare to arrest me?"
"You bastard official! You ordered the inspection department to hunt down the officials. Your crime is tantamount to rebellion. Take him down!"
Faced with the ferocious-looking detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, although the runners had long swords in their hands, no one dared to resist at all. They just watched helplessly as the detectives tied up their masters.
Duan Xifeng looked at the yamen runners again, his eyes gleaming coldly: "You want to rebel too?"
'Bang! '
I don’t know which yamen runner was so scared that he dropped the knife in his hand, and the others quickly threw their knives on the ground.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Duan Xifeng: "Brother Duan, I didn't expect you to have such a domineering side. Awesome."
Duan Xifeng turned his head and saw that it was Ling Chuan.
