Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1157

‘Poof! ’

The commander of the Vermilion Bird Avenue guards, who had intended to salute Xu Shan, trembled and knelt down when he saw Xu Shan charging towards him with overwhelming momentum.

Logically speaking, given Xu Shan's current status as a nobleman and the most powerful minister in the Ming Dynasty, it wouldn't be unusual for him to kneel in obeisance.

The problem is that, due to their nervousness, many of them knelt down.

What kind of place is Suzaku Avenue?

Only ministers of the third rank or above were qualified to reside on this street.

It is said that even a seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister's gate.

The generals and guards who are able to stay here are all arrogant and haughty in their dealings with outsiders.

But then came Xu Bantian, riding up on horseback...

They all instinctively knelt and bowed.

It is easy to imagine the psychological impact and post-traumatic stress reaction that Xu Shan had on them!

"Welcome, Lord Xu, as you lead your troops onto Zhuque Avenue to inspect our work!"

Since we've already knelt down, we should naturally shout out the catchy slogans.

Following the command of the leading general, the other guards followed suit.

Suddenly, the once tranquil Vermilion Bird Avenue was filled with ear-piercing sounds.

However, due to its unevenness, it appeared somewhat noisy.

"Why are you making such a fuss so late at night?"

"You've disturbed my master's rest, can you afford to take responsibility for that?"

It was this noise that drew the ire of a powerful figure living on Zhuque Avenue Front Street.

He specially ordered a servant in his residence to come out and find out what was going on.

The servant, relying on his master's power, had barely poked his head out of the mansion gate when he started shouting and yelling into the street before he even understood what was happening.

But this arrogance only lasted for a few dozen breaths.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan, the leader, merely glared and snorted coldly. His long-time comrades in the Imperial Guards immediately understood and rushed out.

'bass! ’

'Snapped. '

Without saying a word, a member of the Imperial Guard who had broken away from the group slapped the man squarely across the cheek.

'Plop.'

"Ow."

Even the guards on Vermilion Bird Avenue, who were more than ten people away, heard the loud slap and the victim's miserable scream.

"The neighboring family of hemp."

"Can't you hear the phrase 'the Embroidered Uniform Guard is handling a case'?"

"Anyone who dares to show their face or make a sound will be delaying our Lord Xu from leading the investigation..."

"I'll skip using my hands and use a knife."

'bass.'

As he said this, the Imperial Guard immediately drew his sword one-third of its length.

Upon hearing the crisp sound, the once arrogant servant scrambled back into the red gate.

The guards who were with him stood behind the door, trembling and not daring to utter a single word.

After they could faintly hear the sound of horses' hooves and watch them disappear into the distance, the leader cautiously inquired, "He... he just said he was delaying which official's case?"

“Appearance, seemingly, is surnamed Xu.”

"Xu? Lord Xu of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"Xu Shan?"

"Xu Bantian?"

"That man, he's back?"

"Eighty percent, it's him."

"No, otherwise, you won't find another person in the capital who dares to ride a horse on Zhuque Avenue, arrest people, and make such a fuss."

Once this was confirmed, the head guard hurriedly went inside to report.

A short while later, a scream could be heard from inside: "Quick, quick, turn off all the lights."

"Today, on Vermilion Bird Avenue, we will fight to the death. We will not allow anyone to go out and provoke the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Yes!"

Although Xu Shan and his men, along with a group of Imperial Guards, were heading towards the heart of the Vermilion Bird Avenue, the generals and guards stationed there could hear the shouts coming from inside the mansion perfectly clearly.

The familiar shouts, the familiar panic.

Family members, who understands the true value of the name "Xu Bantian" in Zhuque Avenue and even the entire capital city?

This man needs no introduction in the capital; his mere presence is like a vast army, sending chills down one's spine.

No matter how high-ranking an official, how noble a member of the royal family, or how high-ranking a member of the imperial family...

Anyone who dares to bare their teeth will have to lie down!

This is no joke!

How many powerful figures and relatives of the emperor have died at his hands?

"I think I understand now."

"The sky over this capital city, no matter how it changes, it's always the same person, surnamed Xu."

As the guards on Zhuque Avenue muttered these words meaningfully, hundreds of Imperial Guards, accompanied by Xu Shan's casual wave of his hand, surrounded the Zhou and Jia families' residences with murderous intent.

"Whose subordinates are you?"

"Do you know that this is the residence of Grand Secretary Zhou, the current Grand Secretary of the Imperial Court?"

"You lot, by making such a fuss and disturbing Old Madam Zhou's rest, be careful that your heads are not lost."

'bass.'

'Pfft. '

Upon hearing the message from his subordinates, the head steward rushed out and reprimanded the crowd. The Imperial Guards, showing no mercy to him, drew their 'De' series Embroidered Spring Blades, which had not been seen in the capital for a long time.

The Inspectorate's Embroidered Spring Knife is the most distinctive and unique.

His swords were not only forged using the secret steel-making techniques of Wudang, but also bore the character "德" (virtue) on their blades.

This is Xu Shan's attitude towards the outside world—winning people over with virtue!

The "German" style Embroidered Spring Blade, once unsheathed, is a deadly weapon.

Therefore, along with the sound of the sword being drawn, the butler's head was also separated from his body.

"what!"

The blood gushing from the headless body splattered onto the faces of the servants and guards behind him.

The next second, a piercing scream, accompanied by their panicked footsteps, suddenly rang out.

'boom. ’

The tightly closed central gate was kicked open by a Jinyiwei guard who drew his sword. He then leaped over the high threshold, his face contorted with rage as he hissed, "Jinyiwei is conducting an investigation! Those who resist..."

"Kill without mercy!"

As soon as he shouted this, more than a hundred Imperial Guards rushed into the Zhou and Jia mansions respectively.

On the contrary, Xu Shan, who was in charge, slowly dismounted his warhorse and stood in front of the Zhou Mansion. Looking at the 'golden plaque' bestowed by the late emperor, a cold smile flashed across his face.

"After tonight, the Zhou family of Jiangnan will no longer exist in the capital."

'Uh-huh. '

'boom. ’

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shan casually swung his arm.

Words were law, and the golden plaque bearing the inscription "Zhou Mansion," a symbol of power and wealth, shattered into dust.

"Stop, everyone stop!"

"I'll see who dares to cause trouble in the Zhou residence."

'Clatter.'

Just as Xu Shan was leisurely walking into the front courtyard of the Zhou residence, an old woman, supported and accompanied by the Zhou family's sons and daughters, rushed out aggressively.

Facing the menacing Imperial Guards approaching, Zhou Xing, the second son of the Zhou family, immediately questioned in a stern voice, "Who gave you permission to trespass into the Zhou residence?"

"You lackeys, whose orders do you take?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the commander of the Imperial Guards leading the group retorted, "Are you blind?!"

"We, the emperor's personal guards, are naturally acting on imperial orders."

"If you don't want to die, then fucking surrender."

"Stop talking nonsense."
