"Pa …"
As soon as the guard finished speaking, Young Master Huang's expression changed slightly. The teacup in his hand was like a hot iron. It fell from his hand and shattered on the ground …
Madam Yue glanced at Young Master Huang and her heart skipped a beat.
"Rebellion, rebellion, what a scandal. A small Inspection Department actually dared to cause trouble in our Huang Residence. Where's Guard Du and Steward Huang? Pass on my words. Arrest all those who caused trouble here. See if I don't report them to the Judgement Army …" Madam Huang was so angry that her eyebrows were furrowed. She slammed the table and reprimanded loudly.
"Steward Huang is already dead …" A voice came from outside the room.
Along with this voice, Xia Pingan, who was wearing a black waterproof windbreaker and a black felt hat, calmly walked in from outside with a cold temperament.
When the guard who was reporting saw Xia Pingan, he was so scared that he trembled again.
The Black Dragon ran in front of Xia Pingan. As soon as it entered the room, it started barking at Young Master Huang.
Xia Pingan looked at Young Master Huang and thought to himself, 'Found him …'
When Young Master Huang saw Xia Pingan, he was like a mouse that saw a cat. That kind of instinctive fear made him shrink back uncontrollably.
Long Chao and a few other members of the Inspection Department also followed Xia Pingan in.
"What did you say? Steward Huang is dead?" Madam Huang was stunned for a moment before she flew into a rage. "Nonsense, how could Steward Huang be dead? Who are you? Who is your superior? How dare you barge into the Huang Residence and talk nonsense here. How dare you disturb the guests of the Huang Residence!" Madam Huang pointed at Xia Pingan and reprimanded him condescendingly. "I know Sir Lin Yi from the Judgement Army. Is this how Sir Lin taught you to do things? Get out of my sight … "
Xia Pingan then turned to Madam Huang and glanced at her indifferently. "You must be Madam Huang. I'm Xia Pingan, Inspector of the East Port Supervision Department. A month ago, many women in our East Port District were raped and raped. We've caught one of the criminals, but there's still another one on the run. Today, I followed the clues and tracked the criminal to the Huang Mansion. Just now, the steward of the Huang Mansion obstructed our investigation and even attacked us, but I've already killed him!"
"Impossible … Impossible …" Madam Huang was also frightened, her face filled with panic. She looked at the Huang Residence guard who came to report and asked sternly, "Where's Steward Huang? Why hasn't Steward Huang come yet?"
"Steward Huang … Steward Huang was just … killed by this person and turned into ashes …" The guard stammered.
These words were like thunder in the ears of the mother and son of the Huang family. Steward Huang was really killed?
"I'm handling the case according to the authority of the Inspection Department and national law. It's none of my business who you know. If you want to sue me, go ahead!" Xia Pingan said coldly, then pointed at Huang Wei whose face had turned pale. "I'm going to take him away for investigation now …"
"You're not allowed …" Madam Huang opened her arms and stood in front of Xia Pingan. "My husband is the governor of Anxi Province. This is the Huang Mansion. Let's see who dares to mess around …"
"… I didn't do anything … I didn't do anything. They're slandering me …" Young Master Huang shouted, looking at Xia Pingan with shock and anger.
Madam Yue, who was in the living room, stood at the side. She narrowed her eyes and didn't say a word.
"I'm not slandering you. The guy we caught has already confessed that you're the mastermind and he's just an accomplice. Those women were all killed by you. He's already confessed everything …" Xia Pingan said softly.
"Nonsense, he and I are clearly …" Young Master Huang paused halfway through his sentence, and his expression changed drastically …
Xia Pingan smiled and clapped his hands lightly. "Are you trying to say that you and he committed the crime together, so why would he dare to slander you? Or are you trying to say that you and he agreed that as long as he comes out of the Inspection Department, you'll give him countless benefits? Why would he betray you? "
Huang Wei kept his mouth shut …
"My son didn't do anything. You can't arrest people in my Huang Mansion!" Madam Huang stood in front of Xia Pingan aggressively.
"The Inspection Department is handling a case. What does a woman's agreement have to do with the Inspection Department …" Xia Pingan smiled coldly. He stomped his foot and the Prison Circle spell appeared in the room. A yellow circle flashed on the ground and trapped Madam Huang and Huang Wei, making them unable to move. Xia Pingan pointed at Huang Wei and ordered coldly, "Take him down. If he dares to resist, kill him on the spot!"
Long Chao rushed up, took out the shackles in his hand, and directly put them on Huang Wei's neck.
Huang Wei was a summoner. He could resist, but he didn't dare. After knowing that Xia Pingan had killed Steward Huang, Huang Wei felt a chill down his spine when he saw Xia Pingan's cold gaze on him. He knew that if he dared to resist, Xia Pingan would really kill him here. If Steward Huang, who was at the Three Sun Realm, was killed by Xia Pingan, it would be even easier for Xia Pingan to kill him …
Kacha … Kacha … Kacha …
The shackles shackled Huang Wei's neck, hands, and legs in the blink of an eye. Huang Wei instantly turned from a Two Sun Realm summoner to an ordinary person.
Xia Pingan removed the Circle Prison spell on Huang Wei's feet. Two of Long Chao's summoners grabbed Huang Wei and brought him over.
"Donggang Inspection Bureau, Xia Pingan … I will remember you … Our Huang family will not let you off … I will definitely go to the Judgement Army and demand an explanation …" Madam Huang, who couldn't move, could only stand there and threaten Xia Pingan.
"Let's go …" Xia Pingan was decisive. He didn't care about the others in the living room and turned to leave.
Long Chao and the others followed behind him with Huang Wei in tow.
Until now, Long Chao and the others still felt like they were in a dream. The envoy inspector actually led them to capture Young Master Huang from the Huang family's residence without hesitation?
That kind of carefree feeling was like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup in the summer when they couldn't hold back their thirst. It was indescribable to the members of the Inspection Bureau.
Young Master Huang had let it slip just now. He was the fish that escaped the net. The envoy inspector didn't wrongly accuse him.
Looking at the back of Xia Pingan and the Black Dragon walking in front, Long Chao's gaze towards Xia Pingan had become incomparably reverent.
Xia Pingan led them out of the living room in the backyard of the Huang family's residence. Just as they passed through a courtyard, a few people came towards them.
It was an old woman with a head full of silver hair and a slightly hunched back. Supported by a few guards and maids of the Huang Clan, she quickly walked over. Behind the old woman, a guard of the Huang Clan was respectfully holding a dragon-head walking stick with colorful silk tied to it. It was a very imposing sight …
"Grandma, save me …" Seeing the old woman appear, Huang Wei shouted as if he had seen his savior.
"Good grandson, don't be afraid. Grandma is here to save you. No one can take my grandson away …" The old woman was so angry that her hands were trembling. She pointed at Xia Pingan with an imposing manner, "You have big guts. You actually dare to capture people in our Huang family?"
"Of course I should capture people who have broken the law. Why? Can't I capture people from the Huang family?" Xia Pingan stopped and asked.
"Yes, you can't …" The old woman said rudely. She stretched out her hand and the guard passed her the dragon-head walking stick tied with colorful silk. The old woman raised the dragon-head walking stick as if she was holding supreme authority. She said to Xia Pingan, "This is the imperial cane that His Majesty gifted to the Huang family on my 80th birthday. Hurry up and release them …"
"Heh … Heh …" Xia Pingan smiled disdainfully. He stamped his foot and another circle of prison appeared under the old woman's feet, imprisoning her. Then, he led the others and walked past the old woman's eyes. When he walked past the old woman, Xia Pingan glanced at her, "Raise it if you like. His Majesty didn't give the Huang family something to show off in front of the Inspection Department. Your Huang family's walking stick is just a wooden stick in front of the national law. It can't scare the Inspection Department or I, Xia Pingan. Since you're a woman and you're so old, I'll let you go this time. If anyone else dares to stop me, I'll definitely kill them!"
"Grandma, save me, save me …" Huang Wei shouted.
"Noisy, slap him …" Xia Pingan said coldly.
Long Chao waved his hand and slapped Huang Wei's face twice. Huang Wei's face was covered in blood and swollen like a pig's head. He quickly shut his mouth.
The Huang family's guards didn't dare to stop them. Everyone just watched as Xia Pingan took the old woman away.
As soon as Xia Pingan left, the circle of prison disappeared under the old woman's feet. The old woman pointed at Xia Pingan's back with a trembling finger, "You … You … You …" As she spoke, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted from anger. … …
Xia Pingan walked out of the Huang Manor, and in just a short while, the rain in the sky suddenly became heavier. A torrential downpour fell from the sky, and the clouds above the capital were as dark as ink, piling up layer after layer. The visibility was much lower, as if the sky had turned dark.
Hua Ziqin and her subordinates were standing guard outside the Huang family's residence. They were completely drenched.
The Inspection Department's three carriages also stopped outside the Huang family's residence.
"Sir …" Hua Ziqin walked forward and looked at the listless Young Master Huang. She was full of admiration in her heart.
"Is there a situation outside?" Xia Pingan asked.
"Just now, a few birds flew out of the Huang family's residence. There were also a few guards and they were stopped by me. There was a bit of a commotion inside the residence just now. There were also some patrolling policemen who wanted to investigate the situation, but they were all chased away by me!" Hua Ziqin said.
Xia Pingan looked up at the sky and frowned. Birds were a method of reporting, but there were more than just birds. He sneaked into the Huang family's residence and caught them off guard. However, this didn't mean that the Huang family only had this little ability in the capital. The patrolling policemen in this area came to investigate the situation, so the situation inside the Huang family's residence should already be known by people outside.
If he wanted to escort Huang Wei back to the Inspection Department, it wouldn't be easy.
"Let's go. Everyone, get ready. We're returning to the Inspection Department!" Xia Pingan ordered and everyone boarded the carriages.
Long Chao personally sat in the first carriage and acted as the coachman. He drove the carriage and led the way. Hua Ziqin sat in the carriage behind them. Xia Pingan brought Huang Wei to sit in the middle carriage. On both sides of the carriage's door stood two summoners from the Inspection Department as guards.
"Jia …" With the crack of Long Chao's whip, the three carriages pierced through the curtain of rain and sped along the road.
In the carriage, Huang Wei, who was shackled, was thrown onto the floor by Xia Pingan.
Lying in the carriage, Huang Wei looked at Xia Pingan with hatred in his eyes. However, he sneered, "Eastern Port's Inspection Department, a mere envoy inspector actually dares to provoke our Huang Family. You don't know who you've provoked. Although my father isn't in Shangjing, my third and second uncles are. Xia Pingan, let me tell you, you're finished. Even the Judgement Army won't be able to save you!"
"Oh, who are your third and second uncles? They're so powerful?" Xia Pingan lowered his head to look at Huang Wei and asked.
"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough. I'll make a bet with you. You don't have the ability to escort me back to the Inspection Department today. You're just a mere envoy inspector. Do you think you can do whatever you want in Shangjing?" Huang Wei said confidently.
Xia Pingan smiled, "Is that so? Then I'll make a bet with you. I'll definitely bring you back to the Inspection Department today. Moreover, I don't know if I'll be finished in the future, but before I'm finished, you'll definitely be finished …"
"Is that so?" Huang Wei continued to sneer, "In a few days, the one kneeling in front of me will be you. You'd better think carefully!"
"You don't believe me?" Xia Pingan asked back.
"Do you think you have the ability? Without evidence, you can't do anything to me … "
Xia Pingan shook his head and looked at Huang Wei coldly. He bent down and patted Huang Wei's face, "I don't like the way you sneer at me. Bad people can't be so arrogant in front of me. Moreover, remember this. No matter what your surname is, who your father is, who your uncle is, who wants to protect you, you're now in my hands. If I say you're finished, you're finished. It doesn't matter who comes. Evidence? Heh … Heh … Who do you think you're dealing with … "
As he spoke, Xia Pingan stretched out his foot and stepped on Huang Wei's lower abdomen.
Huang Wei was suddenly scared. He began to twist his body, trying to avoid it. He screamed, "Xia Pingan, you … What are you trying to do?"
"If I say you're finished, you're finished. Do you think you'll have to wait until tomorrow? Your family is so rich. Why don't you go to the brothels and find those women who love money? Why do you have to go and ruin those women from ordinary families?" Xia Pingan said these three words and began to stomp down hard. He used the sole and heel of his leather boot to ruthlessly crush the fatal spot below Huang Wei's lower abdomen. It was as if he was stepping on rotten bananas and rotten eggs …
"Ah …" Huang Wei screamed. His body curled up and twisted like a prawn. His face instantly turned from white to red, then from red to green. The veins on his body bulged and his muscles spasmed. He began to twist and struggle in the car, but it was all in vain.
The intense pain caused Huang Wei's body to twitch twice. He foamed at the mouth and fainted like a dead dog.
Raindrops fell on the car window. The people outside could hear the screams coming from inside the car, but they did not move …
… …
The three black carriages of the Donggang Inspection Office were running on the street. Long Chao was driving the first carriage. His long whip danced in the air, and the ear-piercing sound of the whip drove the horses to run on the street. It also scared the pedestrians and carriages in front of them into hurriedly moving away.
The cold raindrops fell on Long Chao's body. His waterproof windbreaker was like a sieve.
All the people in the carriage became alert.
The three carriages were stopped less than 500 meters away from the Huang Mansion.
There was a roadblock in front of the road. A group of people wearing black waterproof windbreakers and iron gloves blocked the road.
Standing in front of those people was a somewhat fat middle-aged man. He had two thick black bags under his eyes. There was a sinister aura between his eyebrows. He was smoking a cigarette. Another person stood beside him, holding a black umbrella for him.
"Shhh …" Seeing that there were people blocking the road, Long Chao pulled the reins. The horse's hooves landed on the ground. It slid on the wet ground for more than 10 meters. The water splashed everywhere. The carriage finally stopped.
The middle-aged man under the black umbrella saw Long Chao stop the carriage. He threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground and put it out with his foot. He put on a fake smile and said, "Long Chao, your Donggang Inspection Department came to my place to handle a case. Why didn't you inform me? Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
Long Chao took a deep breath and said loudly, "Mr. Yao, the East Port Inspection Department has already caught the culprit. The culprit has already been apprehended. Soon, the East Port Inspection Department will send an official document over. Mr. Yao, please step aside. We are about to escort the culprit back to the Inspection Department!"
"Murderer? How come I don't know that there are murderers in Jinyang District? Since there are murderers, just give them to me. The murderers in Jinyang District should be handled by our Jinyang Inspection Department. You can go back now!" The middle-aged man waved his hand, "We will take this case. When the Inspection Department of the Donggang Inspection Department hands over the information and other criminals, we will write the official document for you!"
"Mr. Yao, this is against the rules!" Long Chao argued.
"Hahaha, rules are made by people. Why are you so rigid? Brothers from the Inspection Department of the Donggang Inspection Department have worked hard today. I will treat you all to a good drink as an apology!" The middle-aged man laughed.
Long Chao shut his mouth. He didn't say anything because he heard Xia Pingan coming down from the carriage behind him.
Xia Pingan didn't open an umbrella. Instead, he just let the heavy rain fall on him. After getting off the carriage, he stepped on the rainwater on the street and silently walked to the front of the middle-aged man step by step. Then, he fixed his sharp eyes on the middle-aged man's face.
As Xia Pingan walked towards him silently, the huge pressure coming from Xia Pingan's body made the middle-aged man's smile stiffen unnaturally.
"This must be Envoy Xia. I am Envoy Jinyang, Yao Youchang. We are brothers of the same family. Since Brother Xia has just become an envoy inspector, you might not be familiar with our friendship. Brother Xia, can you give me some face today and hand over the people in the carriage to me?" Yao Youchang smiled stiffly and said to Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan faintly smiled. He glanced at Yao Youchang's swollen face that had been eroded by alcohol and women. Then, he glanced at the people behind Yao Youchang who were standing silently in the heavy rain. He didn't pay attention to Yao Youchang. Instead, he started to talk to the people behind Yao Youchang.
"Brothers, I just came from the Huang Residence. Do you know what the servants of the Huang Residence told me when I just arrived at the Huang Residence and told them that I'm from the Inspection Department? The servants of the Huang Residence told me that if the Inspection Department wants to enter the Huang Residence to arrest the culprit, we have to give them a notice first. We can only enter after the housekeeper of the Huang Residence agrees to it!
At that time, I was shocked. Since when did our Inspection Department need to look at the faces of the servants of the rich and powerful families? We even have to give them a notice and ask for their consent? That's the biggest joke in the world … "
Xia Pingan guffawed in the heavy rain, which reverberated across the street. Closely after that, he moved his eyes onto Yao Youchang's face full of contempt, "Until I see you, Yao Youchang, did I understand why a servant of a major clan in Jinyang District dared to be so arrogant in front of the Inspection Department and the Judgement Army. How dare a servant ask the inspector to give us a notice?"
Yao Youchang's face turned completely black as he glared at Xia Pingan, "Xia Pingan, what do you mean?"
"I mean, you're not qualified to join the Judgement Army; you're not qualified to be the inspector. You're not qualified to wear this uniform. By being the inspector, you not only insulted the Judgement Army but also all the brothers of the Jinyang Supervision Department. You made your brothers be despised by the servants of those rich and powerful families. The reason why the Judgement Army is called Judgement Army is that it maintains the justice of the world, the righteousness of the universe, the strict laws of Shang Dynasty and the conscience of hundreds of millions of people. Tell me, how much did Huang Clan pay you to stop me? What benefits did they promise you? Why did they let you take these brothers to stand in the rain for a murderer? "
Hearing Xia Pingan's rebuke, some of those who stood on Yao Youchang's side tightly pursed their lips with stiff faces; some lowered their heads. Yao Youchang kept retreating under Xia Pingan's rebuke.
With a rumble, a muffled thunder rolled over the sky, shaking the entire Shangjing City. The lightning bolts that broke the sky made Yao Youchang's face extremely pale at this moment …
