One had to be at least a Cloud Transformation Realm cultivator and a Wei Clan senior who died in the battle at the Sun Moon Pass. Only then would they be qualified to place a statue here!
Now, there were so many loyal and brave warriors. Were they just going to watch their descendants being arrested by their fellow soldiers?
Capturing all their descendants right in front of them?
Just as they were in a dilemma, a clanging sound was heard.
Several military officers in military uniforms gathered together and strode over in large, orderly steps.
"All of you! Face the ancestral hall and gather! "
A long horn sounded. It was a bugle call!
A piercingly cold voice roared, "Salute to the seniors!"
All the soldiers saluted at the same time. Their faces were solemn and meticulous.
Their movements were even more orderly, as if they had been cut by a knife!
"Brave seniors, you have contributed to the country. You have sacrificed for mankind and should be respected by us! However, it is also a fact that the descendants are unworthy and have tarnished the names of the seniors and blasphemed the glory of the ancestors! We are here today under orders to capture and bring them to justice! The seniors in the heavens can bear witness that we have no intention of insulting you! "
"We, the eight hundred soldiers, swear to the heavens that we are fair and just and have no grievances! Otherwise, we will repay the souls of the brave seniors with our lives! "
"The imperial court has its laws and the army has its laws! Please forgive us, brave seniors! "
Then, he waved his hand and turned around. "Take them all away!"
All the Wei family members had their cultivations sealed and were handcuffed. One by one, they were taken out of the ancestral hall.
In the ancestral hall of the Wei family, facing hundreds of heroic souls and capturing the descendants of heroes, this scene was so heart-wrenching and unnatural!
All the soldiers who took action had tears in their eyes, and their hearts were exceptionally heavy!
Why couldn't you do more?!
Even if you were mediocre? Even if you didn't have any ability and didn't even have the talent to practice martial arts, you shouldn't have brought such humiliation to the ancestors!
Die with hatred!
Do you know that by capturing you here, it is equivalent to stabbing each of your hearts with a knife dripping with blood?
Heart-Wrenching pain!
Because we are also soldiers, we can empathize with you!
The line was long, and they walked out in a single file.
When the head of the Wei family was about to step out of the door, he suddenly turned back desperately.
Looking in the direction of the ancestral hall, he fell to his knees and kowtowed. "I have let down the ancestors of the Wei family …"
In the ancestral hall.
Wei Zhongyuan's statue was still standing tall and upright, looking at his descendant who had already been escorted out.
The gaze of the statue was like two cold arrows.
It was just that the majestic aura of the mountains and rivers seemed a little bleak.
…
The Wu family.
Similar signs to the Gao family.
It had to be said that the Wu Family was indeed a big family. In the Yanwu Empire, there were more than one Wu Family that was famous.
The Wu Family was ranked second. Their family background was much deeper than the Gao Family and the Wei Family.
But today, under the iron fist of Southern Chief Nan, not a single one of them was missing.
Next was the Lu family.
On this day, many clans in Shang Jing were arrested!
All facilities, all equipment, everything … was confiscated.
Apart from those things that had been obtained in the glory of their ancestors, they had never touched them. They could search the place, but they were not allowed to take them away, nor were they allowed to damage them.
On this day.
There was no wind or clouds in the sky above Shang Jing. The atmosphere was oppressive, as if the sky was about to collapse.
The prison in Shang Jing was filled to the brim.
Minister Nan gave the order.
"Escort those four clans to the Ministry of Finance! Settle them in the courtyard and give them a few tents! I'd like to see who dares to cause trouble under my watch! "
That night.
Nan Zhengqian was dressed in a rare military uniform. He had reverted to the uniform of the Southern Army's marshal. Carrying incense and strong wine, he went out alone.
He first went to the Wu Family's ancestral hall. First, he burned some incense and candles. Then, he sat there cross-legged, placed bags of food, and opened jars of wine.
"Don't say that I didn't take good care of your descendants … Brother, if you were all alive and saw this, you would have acted faster than me. It wouldn't have come to this.
"Let's not talk about anything else. Let's drink, let's drink. Don't worry, your descendants will be left behind.
"Your shelter will also be reserved for you."
"Brother, let's drink."
Then, he went to the Gao Family's ancestral hall.
Finally, he went to the Wei Family's ancestral hall.
Nan Zhengqian was speechless as he looked at the statues that filled the room.
"Zhongyuan …"
Nan Zhengqian stood with his hands behind his back. He gently touched Wei Zhongyuan's statue with a white towel in his hand. He wiped the statue until it was spotless.
"I've wanted to uproot your family since ten years ago …"
Nan Zhengqian sighed softly.
"As a man, I hate unworthy wives and unworthy sons the most.
"Zhongyuan, today, whether I accompany you or you accompany me, let's have a good drink.
"I'll drink with you. I know you won't feel good today. You can accompany me. How can I feel good in my heart? "
Nan Zhengqian drank the whole night. He accompanied his old brothers and the heroic spirits of his old subordinates as he reminisced about the past.
At dawn, he finally returned home singing military songs.
He did not circulate his energy to expel the smell of alcohol. He allowed himself to be drunk.
The interrogation of all parties was in full swing.
After the arrest, network communications were also fully restored.
Until the afternoon.
The Crown Prince came to discuss matters with Chief Nan on behalf of the Emperor.
After sobering up, Chief Nan got out of bed. He was about to speak when he suddenly received an urgent report. "Emergency report from the Hidden Dragon Institute!"
"Speak."
"This …" The adjutant's eyes darted around.
The Crown Prince understood. "I'll leave for a while."
Chief Nan laughed. "What's there to leave for? You, say it out loud! What is it that the Crown Prince can't hear? "
"Yes."
The adjutant's face turned bitter.
But since the order was given, he naturally had to obey.
"The Hidden Dragon Institute has caught … the culprits who killed the vice-principal's two granddaughters! There are also the four culprits who ambushed Ye Changqing. But there are a lot of people involved! "
The person who came in to report was Nan Zhengqian's adjutant.
He also knew the severity of the matter. On the other hand, Chief Nan had just woken up from a hangover and did not think in that direction.
He really didn't expect that the news he received this time would be so explosive, so shocking, so coincidental, and so right by a stroke of luck!
Beside him, the Crown Prince, who was sitting gracefully and as steady as a mountain, jumped up when he heard this. His eyes were bloodshot.
"What!"
His voice was so loud!
Chief Nan immediately had a feeling. "This is bad! This is bad!"
He could not help but glare at the adjutant.
How could this kind of thing be said in front of the Crown Prince?
For so many years, the Crown Prince had been unable to forget this matter!
The Crown Prince rushed in front of the adjutant and grabbed the phone.
He only took a glance at it, but he suddenly bristled with anger.
"The Prince of Zhongyuan?!!!"
The Crown Prince roared. His eyes were about to crack.
"Roar!"
Nan Zhengqian also roared, causing the whole building to shake for a moment.
It was as if the evening drum and morning bell had enlightened the Crown Prince, who was about to explode, with a cool breeze.
The Crown Prince came to his senses in an instant. He panted heavily and turned to Chief Nan. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chief Nan, I will never …"
Minister Nan took a deep breath and said, "You can't act rashly on this matter!"
"I …"
"You should go back and ask for His Majesty's opinion first!"
Nan Zhengqian lowered his voice. "And so far, only the three of us know about this. We can't let more people know!"
The Crown Prince's face turned red. "But I must go …"
"If you go out of the capital now, you will die for sure! Even if I were to bring my men to protect him, he would still be killed! "
Nan Zhengqian said soberly, "This matter is not as simple as you think!"
"Once the royal family is in turmoil, the consequences will be dire …"
The Crown Prince's crazed look slowly disappeared. He was panting heavily.
The rims of his eyes slowly turned red. As tears glistened in his eyes, he seemed to see the white-clothed girl from back then. She was cold and peerless. She was tall and proud. She had a face that could topple cities and a figure that was gentle and beautiful.
One person and one sword defeated two Martial Artists!
Countless geniuses couldn't even lift their heads and breathe in front of that peerless beauty!
She even took away his heart!
Every night, he dreamed of that girl's sword. Her white dress fluttered in the wind. She was like a fairy flying in the sky. Her black eyes were staring at his face.
That country-toppling face, those exquisite lips, and that faint smile.
And that sentence — —
"I will wait for you in Qianlong!"
…
The Crown Prince left.
To prevent any accidents, Nan Zhengqian personally sent him back to the palace.
He also met with the Emperor and had a secret meeting for half an hour before he left.
Chief Nan sighed deeply when he walked out of the palace.
He felt that he was really unlucky recently. Bad luck kept on coming.
Why were all the mistakes on his side these few days?
For example, this time, the Qianlong High School caught the murderer … If he was still in the South, would he let the Crown Prince know? Even if the Crown Prince didn't know, what did it have to do with him?
"It's not easy to live in the capital!"
Nan Zhengqian shook his head and sighed.
"I have to go back to the Southern Legion as soon as possible! These bullsh * t matters … whoever wants to meddle in it can go … I'm so annoyed, so annoyed … "
He sighed and dialed a number.
"The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable …"
"F * ck … I'm still on the blacklist …"
He hurriedly called the Qianlong High School.
"Keep an eye on him! Don't leak any information. "
"Understood."
Chief Nan's voice became heavy. "Ye Changqing, that Gao Zhiyun, are you sure you want to protect him?"
Ye Changqing said, "Gao Zhiyun has really changed. His repentance was before this operation. Since the last time, Gao Zhiyun has changed. He is always thinking of the Qianlong High School. He is indeed different from before. Most importantly, I want to give some face to the Gao Family's sister-in-law … the Ximen Family's daughter. "
Ye Changqing said in a low voice, "Chief Nan, since he has repented, and … the Ximen Family must not be involved."
