When the men in black entered the building, Xia Pingan was sitting in the office with his upper body bare. Wei Meiyu bit her lip and held back her tears as she applied medicine on Xia Pingan's wounds with trembling hands, afraid that she would hurt Xia Pingan.
Wei Meiyu secretly looked at the tattoo on Xia Pingan's back as she applied medicine on Xia Pingan's wounds.
There were twenty to thirty wounds on Xia Pingan's body. These wounds were left behind when he fought with the Seven Sun Realm expert. Although the wounds weren't fatal and weren't deep, as if they had been slashed by a knife, to an ordinary person, this many wounds were enough to make them experience the true feeling of heart-wrenching pain.
Although these wounds were caused by the Seven Sun Realm Summoner, Xia Pingan didn't hate that person. He knew that to that person, he had already shown mercy. If that person wanted to, the wounds on his body could have been ten times worse and not just a few flesh wounds like now.
The Judgement Army and his identity as the envoy inspector prevented that person from falling out with him and killing an envoy inspector of the Judgement Army in Shang Jing City.
Xia Pingan closed his eyes as he recalled every detail of his fight with the Seven Sun Realm expert.
To a Summoner, level didn't mean everything. The effect of powerful summoning spells in a fight couldn't be underestimated. Sometimes, it could even play a dominant role. It wasn't impossible for a low-level Summoner to defeat a higher-level Summoner. As long as the spells were used properly, anything was possible. This was also the charm of the Summoner profession. To a Summoner, there was no absolute weakling.
However, the difference between a Three Sun Realm Summoner and a Seven Sun Realm Summoner was too great. If a low-level Summoner's spells weren't strong enough to cover the difference in level, the result of the fight was obvious.
Xia Pingan replayed the situation in his mind many times. He realized that it would not be difficult for that Seven Sun Realm Summoner to kill him today. If that person wanted to kill him today, the possibility of him escaping was close to zero. This result made Xia Pingan truly calm down. He saw the difference between himself and those Summoners above the Six Sun Realm.
There were many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Shangjing City. He still had to work hard!
That person's Lightning Summoning Spell was very strange. He didn't know what kind of Realm Pearl could summon Lightning Summoning.
As Xia Pingan was thinking, his ears twitched. He heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the corridor outside. He "looked" outside the office and saw a group of people aggressively walking towards his office.
The tokens that those people showed made Long Chao, Hua Ziqin, and the others stand in the corridor and at the doors of the various groups' offices. They didn't dare to move and could only silently watch those people walk towards their offices.
"Okay, it's almost done!" Xia Pingan said to Wei Meiyu.
Wei Meiyu nodded and put away the medicine bottle.
"Bang …" The door to Xia Pingan's office was violently pushed open from the outside. A few people in black with cold expressions barged in. The leader of the group was in his thirties. He had a square face, squinted eyes, and thin lips. He had a cold expression and an overbearing aura.
"Who are you people?" Wei Meiyu asked somewhat angrily.
The square-faced man glanced at Wei Meiyu's face and the medicine bottle in her hand. He then sized up the wounds on Xia Pingan's body. He took out a token and said coldly, "Hmph, Sir Xia really knows how to enjoy life. We are from the Disciplinary Division. Please come with us, Sir Xia!"
"Okay, wait for me to put on my clothes, then I'll go with you!" Xia Pingan stood up unhurriedly, picked up his shirt, and prepared to put on his clothes.
The square-faced man squinted his eyes and said unyieldingly, "Don't delay, let's go now …" As he spoke, the square-faced man gave a look to the people on his left and right. Two people in black took out shackles and walked towards Xia Pingan. They wanted to shackle Xia Pingan with shackles.
"If you take one more step forward, believe it or not, I'll make sure that none of you can walk out of this office today!" Xia Pingan glanced at the square-faced man and said coldly. His hands were unhurriedly putting on his clothes. The two men in black holding the shackles suddenly stopped.
"What did you just say? Are you threatening me?" The square-faced man stared at Xia Pingan with cold eyes. He took a step forward and scolded, "How dare you threaten the people of the Disciplinary Division?"
Xia Pingan calmly buttoned his shirt with a smile on his face. However, his tone was extremely cold. "I'm a member of the Disciplinary Division. Of course, I'll cooperate with the Disciplinary Division. However, you're so anxious to stand up for someone. Are you sure that I'll be unlucky this time? Why do you have to make trouble for me? You don't even let me put on my clothes and want to take me away? You said that I'm threatening you, and I'm really threatening you. If I'm not unlucky this time, then you'll be the next unlucky one. I'll play with you slowly in the future. You and your subordinates had better pray that nothing will happen to you in my hands. You'd better not have any business in the Donggang District. Also, pray that I'll always be an inspector in the Disciplinary Division and never be promoted … "
The square-faced man's face slightly changed. The two men in black holding the shackles also looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. The square-faced man looked at Xia Pingan with some surprise. After thinking about it, he finally waved his hand and let the two men in black holding the shackles retreat. They didn't dare to do it again.
Xia Pingan put on his shirt. Wei Meiyu brought over a vest and a coat. Xia Pingan put them all on and tidied up his appearance. Then, he said to the people standing in the office, "Okay, let's go!"
Several people from the Legal Supervision Department sandwiched Xia Pingan in the middle and walked out of Xia Pingan's office.
Both sides of the corridor outside were full of people. Long Chao, Situ Hua and the others were all looking at Xia Pingan with complex looks.
Nobody could have imagined that Xia Pingan would cause such a big trouble and be taken away by the Legal Supervision Department after coming to the Supervision Department of Donggang District for only two days.
Long Chao, Hua Ziqin, the two of you investigate the details of those people who intercepted me today. When I come back, I'll deal with them one by one and teach them a lesson. The rest of you, find out everything about the Huang Family and the businesses related to the Huang Family in the Donggang District. When I come back, I'll play with them. Your chance to get rich and get your bonuses has come … "
Long Chao, Hua Ziqin, Situ Hua and the others all looked at each other. Did this guy think that the Legal Supervision Department was inviting him to have a heart-to-heart talk?
When the people from the Legal Supervision Department who were escorting Xia Pingan heard this, their eyelids twitched wildly. That square-faced man's face was so gloomy that water could drip out. Damn it, he had worked in the Legal Supervision Department for so many years. It was also his first time seeing someone so arrogant when the Legal Supervision Department came knocking on his door. He didn't know what this guy was relying on. Moreover, this guy was so vengeful. Now he was thinking about how to take revenge. If they really became enemies, then it would be really troublesome …
Just like this, Xia Pingan left the Supervision Department with the people from the Legal Supervision Department under the watchful eyes of the people from the Supervision Department.
Although Xia Pingan had left, there was a strange silence in the Inspection Department.
"Cough cough … I say, does Lord Inspector have some misunderstanding about the Legal Supervision Department?" Situ Hua coughed lightly and looked around at the people around him. He was the first to break the silence.
"I've never seen anyone who was taken away by the Legal Supervision Department come back in one piece. Perhaps Lord Inspector can create a miracle!" Fan Gang, who was wearing a black robe, said softly.
"Lord Inspector didn't seem to have said that he had some backing. An inspector who dared to barge into the governor's mansion two days after taking office and chopped off the governor's son's head on the street has not appeared in Shangjing for many years. Lord Inspector has created two records …" Dongmen Yong touched his tortoiseshell glasses and said like an old man.
Long Chao was silent. His lips were tightly pursed, and he turned to leave.
"Long Chao, what are you going to do?" Situ Hua asked.
"I'm going to investigate the background of those people who intercepted us and the Lord Inspector today. We'll wait for the Lord to come back and deal with them!" Long Chao didn't turn around. He only replied coldly, "Our Donggang Supervision Department is not to be trifled with!"
"I'm going too …" Hua Ziqin followed Long Chao's footsteps.
"Those trash should have been dealt with long ago …" Fang Nu, who had been silent, also opened his mouth. "I'll take some people to the dock area and ask for some information …" Fang Nu also started to move.
Situ Hua stroked his chin and suddenly smiled. "Perhaps, this Lord Inspector can really lead everyone to make a fortune and let everyone get a little more bonus. For the sake of the gold coins, forget it, I'll also find some informants …"
After a short while, all the people in the Supervision Department started to move. Their efficiency was unprecedentedly high.
…
Xia Pingan and the people from the Legal Supervision Department took a black carriage from the Donggang District all the way to the Ping Mountain Barracks of the Judgment Army.
This was the second time that Xia Pingan had entered the Ping Mountain Barracks. His mood was a bit complicated — the first time he came here, he participated in the assessment to join the Judgment Army. He didn't expect that he would be caught here the second time.
The black carriage of the Legal Supervision Department drove into the Ping Mountain Barracks and finally came to a five-story building at the foot of the Barracks Mountain. Its outer wall was made of grey-white granite.
There was a sign hanging at the entrance of the building — Legal Supervision Department of the Judgment Army — these five words, in the Judgment Army, could make people feel intimidated and tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
After getting off the carriage, Xia Pingan was directly taken to the cold iron prison of the Legal Supervision Department.
After being locked up for a few hours, when it was almost dark, Xia Pingan was taken out of the prison cell and directly brought to an interrogation room.
Two people wearing black robes with gloomy faces sat in the interrogation room, looking at Xia Pingan who was sitting on the interrogation chair.
"Xia Pingan, do you know your crime?"
The cold and oppressive voice echoed in the interrogation room.
Xia Pingan smiled slightly. "If it's a crime to scrupulously abide by the duties of the Donggang Inspector, disregarding personal honor and disgrace to protect the law of the Shang Dynasty and the dignity of the Judgment Army, suppressing evil and suppressing evil to protect the people, then I am indeed guilty. Moreover, my crime is extremely heinous. The entire Judgment Army is also guilty."
The interrogator was suddenly stunned, not knowing what to say …
After a few seconds of silence, one of the interrogators suddenly slammed the table. "You still dare to quibble?"
"How am I quibbling?"
"Then why did you trespass into the Huang Mansion today and even killed the steward of the Huang Mansion?"
"I chased the murderer into the Huang Mansion, is that trespassing? Apart from the Imperial City, I don't know any place in Shangjing City that the Judgment Army can't casually enter when investigating a case. I also don't know when the inspector of the Judgment Army can't even enter the Governor's Mansion to investigate a case and have to deal with the case according to the servants of the Governor's Mansion.
If there's such a rule in the Judgment Army and the Shang Dynasty, take it out and I'll plead guilty. As for killing the steward of the Huang Mansion, I admit that I killed the steward of the Huang Mansion. However, before I killed him, he attacked me first and used force to prevent me from entering the mansion to investigate, which has already threatened my life. I was just defending myself. On this point, many guards of the Huang Family and the people of the Donggang Inspector's Office can testify. If the Legal Supervision Department thinks that the Judgment Army and the Inspector's Office should not fight back when they are obstructed or threatened when they go out to investigate a case, then I'm also guilty. You can punish me however you like! "
After another few seconds of silence.
"Then why did you kill Huang Wei on the street?"
"I remember that there's a rule in the Judgment Army. If the prisoner wants to escape, the person escorting him can deal with him on the spot. Killing the prisoner is not a crime!"
