In the courtyard, all the constables and yamen officials from the Kaifeng Prefecture, who had barged into the courtyard to arrest people, were now lying on the ground, screaming in pain.
"Who are you?!" The middle-aged man was none other than Wu Ya Zi. He had just heard a noise from the backyard. When he came out, he saw a group of yamen officials trying to barge in. He immediately beat them out.
If Wu Ya Zi's temperament had been in the past, these people would have been killed by him.
However, Wu Ya Zi had not forgotten his current identity. He was no longer the head of the Carefree Sect, but the steward of Ye Xuan's mansion. Naturally, he would not kill these people on his own.
From Wu Ya Zi's secret observation, he could tell that although Ye Xuan had Divine Sense and boundless Dharma power, he was not an immortal who would kill the innocent. Otherwise, he would not have lived in this deserted corner of Bianjing, given his Divine Sense.
It was precisely because of this that he showed mercy earlier and did not directly take their lives.
"We, we are the constables of the Kaifeng Prefecture. How dare you! You've been exposed! Hurry up and come back to the magistrate's office with us to ask for punishment. Otherwise, when the army of the Court arrives, you will be turned into ashes!" It was the fierce-looking constable who shouted fiercely after hearing Wu Ya Zi's words.
"Exposed?!" Wu Ya Zi felt a little strange when he heard the constable's words. What could have happened to them? Could it be that the Court had found out that his master was an immortal?
But if that was the case, how daring or brainless would the Court have to be to send a few ordinary yamen runners to arrest an immortal?
Therefore, it was not that his master's identity had been exposed, but something else.
"Tell me, what crime have I committed that the people of Kaifeng Mansion would come here to arrest me?!" At this time, a voice came from the sky. Then, the yamen runners who had fallen to the ground saw a figure suddenly materialize in front of them.
"Ghost … Ah, it's a ghost!" Seeing the scene before them, some of the yamen officials turned pale with fright and screamed.
It was not that Ye Xuan looked frightening, but the way he had appeared had frightened them. Gradually solidifying his body from the void, this was completely beyond their imagination. Perhaps only ghosts and gods could have such an ability.
"Master!" When he saw Ye Xuan appear, Wu Ya Zi hurriedly walked forward to greet him.
"En!" Ye Xuan faintly nodded his head. Looking at the Feng Feng government officials in front of him, it was clear that no one wanted to answer his question. Frowning, he stretched out his hand and began to calculate.
"So that's how it is. I didn't go looking for trouble with you, but you came looking for trouble with me. Very good, very good!" In less than three breaths of time, Ye Xuan had clearly deduced the matter, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer.
Seeing Ye Xuan like this, Wu Ya Zi knew that Ye Xuan was calculating. He did not expect that something that used to be a rumor would actually happen right in front of him. He could not help but feel surprised and envious. "Master, do you need me to act?"
"Haha, there's no need. This is something I left behind. It's better for me to settle it myself!" Ye Xuan smiled indifferently and glanced at the yamen officials in front of him. "These people trespassed. Break one of their arms and one of their legs as a sign of respect!"
"No, we are the yamen officials of Feng Feng Prefecture. How dare you … Ah! ~ ~"
Before the constable could finish speaking, Wu Ya Zi had already flashed out. Like a ghost, he moved around these people. In less than ten breaths of time, the entire courtyard was filled with a shrill scream.
"Ah, my arms, my legs. How dare you, how dare you … Our Lord will not let you off …" The constable fell to the ground, feeling the bone-piercing pain coming from his arms and legs. He knew that his limbs were broken, so he could not help but shout at Ye Xuan ferociously.
"Oh, by the way, there's also that Lord of yours. If you hadn't mentioned him, I would have almost forgotten about him. He is an accomplice to the evildoer. He should be punished!" Hearing the constable's words, Ye Xuan suddenly remembered. He looked at the constable and smiled coldly. Then, he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.
Kacha!!
Just as Ye Xuan snapped his fingers, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky above Feng Prefecture. It directly struck the prefectural magistrate who was sitting in the hall with his legs crossed and drinking tea. He was instantly turned into charcoal.
"Ah, this is bad. The prefectural magistrate has been punished by heaven. The prefectural magistrate is dead …" Suddenly, the Feng Prefecture was in chaos.
However, Ye Xuan, who had casually killed the prefectural magistrate, had already withdrawn his consciousness. He glanced at the people in front of him and said to Wu Ya Zi calmly, "I'm going out for a while. Throw all these people out!"
"Yes, Master!" Wu Ya Zi hurriedly replied. Then, he saw Ye Xuan's figure disappear in front of him.
…
Because today was the day of the Song Dynasty's Founding Ancestor's ascension to the throne, it was also the day of the Song Dynasty's founding. The annual court meeting was being held in the Zichen Palace of the Song Dynasty's imperial palace.
The current emperor, Zhao Chun, was sitting on the golden dragon throne, receiving congratulations from the civil and military officials, as well as the "court representatives" sent by the various prefectures.
Looking at the civil and military officials bowing down to him, Zhao Chun could not help but smile proudly. He felt that under his rule, the Song Dynasty was indeed prosperous and the people were at peace. The nation's strength was growing day by day.
"You're the current emperor?!" At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice.
Zhao Chun was stunned. Then, he turned his head and saw a tall and sturdy young man, who was as good-looking as Pan An, standing beside him.
"How dare you! Who are you?"
"Guards! Arrest the assassin!"
At this moment, the officials and the eunuchs in the palace all noticed the young man who suddenly appeared on the throne. After a moment of shock, they immediately became chaotic. They screamed and wanted to arrest this person.
However, no matter how much they made a ruckus in the palace, the imperial guards on duty outside did not move. It was as if they had all turned into stone statues.
At this moment, whether it was the officials in the imperial court or the emperor, everyone could see that something was wrong. They all looked at the young man standing beside the dragon throne with his hands behind his back in shock.
The Song Dynasty's emperor, Zhao Chun, had been on the throne for decades. He controlled the world and had a natural bearing. Although he was shocked at the appearance of this young man, he still maintained a calm expression. He looked at the young man and said, "That's right. I'm the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Chun. Who are you? Why are you here to see me? Do you have any grievances that you want me to redress for you?! "
