Chapter 248 Saber And Sword Solution

Yin Cheng and the Imperial Historian in black robes walked one after the other on the official road of Chang'an City.

Behind him were more than a hundred guards from the Longevity Division's Greedy Wolf Division, including Xu Han's old acquaintance, Gu Daozuo.

The atmosphere between the crowd was somewhat dull. Yin Cheng wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Lord Zhang, who was the third prince. However, the other party's attitude was incomparably cold. Facing his previous and future topics, the other party only responded perfunctorily. The number of words spat out from Zhang Dongning's mouth would not exceed the number of his hands.

Yin Cheng tactfully shut his mouth. After all, the most important thing on this trip was to take away the human and material evidence that Xu Han had abducted from the Drunken Immortal Building. If he made Dong Ning unhappy because of his rudeness and made things difficult for him, then the gains would not be worth the losses.

Thus, in such a dull atmosphere, he passed through the busiest streets of Chang'an City and arrived in front of the Tian Ce Mansion.

Of course, the matter of the imperial physician taking over the case of the female corpse of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion had long spread in Chang'an. At this moment, the group of people were walking in such a big way that they couldn't help but attract the guidance of the pedestrians.

There were even a few people who liked to watch the show, or even had other thoughts, who secretly followed them and surrounded the entrance of the Tian Ce Mansion from afar, wanting to see how this big case that shocked Chang'an City would end.

…

Yin Cheng, who had arrived at the entrance of the Tian Ce Mansion, couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw what was happening in front of the manor.

At this moment, in front of the entrance of the Tian Ce Mansion, the young Manor Master was dressed in a black robe. He stood there with a long sword on the ground, his brows cold. Behind him, there were more than 50 Tian Ce Mansion soldiers lined up. Their waists were straight, and their white armors were spotless. They stood motionless like sculptures.

Only after a few breaths did Yin Cheng regain his senses from this scene. He knew that the purpose of this trip was something that the young manor lord of Tiance Prefecture had already anticipated. He instinctively felt a little worried. After all, the wrist Xu Han had displayed these past few days had caused his Yin Clan to suffer a lot.

However, after he looked at Zhang Dongning and the notorious Ancient Dao left, all of these worries dissipated. Zhu Xian had already promised him that he would retrieve the witnesses and material evidence for him no matter what.

With Zhu Xian's power in Chang'an City, his promise was to some extent an established fact. At least in Yin Cheng's eyes, it was like this.

" Manor Chief Xu." Just as he was thinking about this, Lord Zhang walked to the entrance of Tiance Prefecture's mansion and cupped his hands towards Xu Han, who was standing on a pestle. His tone was the same as the expression on his face, and Gubo was not shocked.

"Lord Imperial Envoy." Standing on the high platform, Xu Han looked down at Zhang Dongning, but he only slightly nodded, his hands still on the hilt of the sword. He looked somewhat arrogant.

Naturally, Xu Han's actions quickly attracted the dissatisfaction of the Gu Daozuo standing behind Zhang Dongning. "What is your attitude, Lord Imperial History?" He had originally harbored a grudge against Xu Han because he had been schemed by him, but at this moment, he was suffocating an evil fire in his heart. When he found an opportunity, he naturally had to vent it.

When Xu Han heard this, he turned his gaze to the left of the ancient path and said softly, "What is it? When did you have the right to speak?"

"You!" That Gu Daozuo was truly angered by Xu Han's scolding. At that moment, the more than 50 Tian Ce Mansion Army soldiers behind Xu Han took out their swords and took a step forward. At that moment, intense killing intent enveloped them. It was as if as long as the Gu Daozuo dared to take another step forward, they would not hesitate to swing the sharp blade in their hands towards his head.

In just a few breaths of time, the atmosphere in front of the Tian Ce Mansion became tense.

Gu Daozuo is a famous fierce person in Chang'an City, how could he be intimidated by Xu Han? At that moment, a hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, as if he was impatiently wanting to test the capabilities of the Tian Ce Mansion.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Lord Zhang, who was beside him, cast a sidelong glance at him.

"Commander Gu." Zhang Dongning said softly.

His voice was not loud, and even the spectators who were slightly farther away could hardly hear what he was saying.

However, even so, the never-yielding Gu Daozuo was like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost after hearing this. The flames in his eyes were extinguished and he lowered his head and retreated resentfully.

" Manor Chief Xu didn't come here for the sake of words. I was ordered by His Majesty to take over the case of the female corpse of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. I hope Manor Chief Xu will do me a favor." Zhang Dongning cupped his hands towards Xu Han and said calmly when he saw the Ancient Dao retreat to the left.

Hearing this, Xu Han expressionlessly said, "Since the case of the female corpse of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was discovered by our Tian Ce Mansion, we naturally have to let our Tian Ce Mansion investigate it to the end. It won't be troublesome for Lord Zhang."

Zhang Dongning's expression finally changed slightly at that time. He frowned and said, "Lord Xu, do you mean to disrespect the decree?"

Such a big hat was enough to annihilate the clan.

However, Xu Han did not mind. He glanced at Yin Cheng beside Zhang Dongning and said, "Since this lowly one is the Tian Ce Mansion of His Majesty's personal registry, and also holds the position of a captain, I should share the burden for His Majesty. I just do not want to bother Lord Zhang." Furthermore, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion case involves the Yin Family. Lord Zhang is so close to the Yin Family's Patriarch, I think it's better not to interfere in this case. "

Xu Han deliberately raised his voice a bit as he said this, and his words naturally reached the ears of the surrounding onlookers. When these people heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all came back to their senses.

"That's right! Since this is a Yin Family case, what's the point of bringing Yin Cheng along?"

"I'm afraid this Yin Clan is guilty of guilt."

"Looks like there's something behind this. It's hard to deal with…"

All of a sudden, the spectators were discussing, but the Yin Clan Master's expression instantly turned ugly. He only cared about retrieving the human evidence that concerned the survival of the Yin Clan, but he forgot about avoiding suspicion.

"The voices of the people are terrifying. Lord Zhang, please return. As for what exactly happened in this case, I believe that I will give His Majesty an explanation to the people of Chang'an City not long from now." Xu Han's voice sounded again at that time. It was unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional. As he said this, his gaze fell on Yin Cheng.

Feeling this, the Yin Clan's Clan Master's already gloomy expression became even uglier at that time.

Compared to the panicked Yin Cheng, Zhang Dongning's expression was extremely calm. He raised his eyes to look at Xu Han. There were still not many emotional fluctuations in his eyes. It was more like he was looking at the young Manor Lord Tiance Prefecture in front of him. It was as if he was weighing something. Only after a dozen breaths of time did he say, "Looks like Manor Lord Xu has made up his mind not to hand over those personal and material evidence?"

"Yes." Xu Han replied casually and easily. His expression was as if he had rejected a trivial matter. It was simply not worth caring about.

"Then what if I have to?" Zhang Dongning's expression darkened when he heard Xu Han's words. The frost between his eyebrows condensed, and it was obvious that he was finally angry.

"Simple." However, Xu Han's attitude was still very relaxed. He raised his hand slightly on the hilt of the sword and the scarlet sword drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into Xu Han's hand.

At that time, the black-clothed youth pointed at the sword and the sword intent around his body surged.

He laughed.

"Since logic is useless, then let's resolve it with swords and blades."
