With Situ Zhong's shock, in an instant, more than ten chains with hooks and claws flew up from the hands of the surrounding yamen and were taken towards Li Xuan.

This made Li Xuan both shocked and angry, and his whole body felt cold.

Before he knew it, Zhang Mount Taishan roared: "How dare you, Situ Zhong!"

He chopped a series of sharp sword flashes in front of Li Xuan, even cutting back all the hooks, claws, and chains.

Peng Fulai also waved his hand, and a total of nineteen darts flew out from his sleeve, bouncing back all the hooks and locks from the second wave and nailing them one by one to the surrounding beams and columns.

Can't you speak properly? Situ Zhong, you don't have any personal or physical evidence, so you dare to convict my brother

Situ Zhong raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this a plan to resist arrest? That's exactly what I want

He calmly put down the tea cup in his hand. At this time, his figure seemed to be motionless, but there was a strong black fist and gang, like a tiger, pounding on the blade of Zhang Mount Taishan.

The latter could not resist at all, and the whole person rushed backwards like a shell, breaking more than ten layers of wooden walls one after another.

Peng Fulai was confused for a moment. In the past, the two of them had always relied on this person to support the scene and act as flesh shields. What should they do now?

Amidst the swirling debris, Situ Zhong had already dodged in front of Li Xuan and Peng Fulai, his black fists still indistinguishable, charging towards the chubby little one standing at the front.

Li Xuan finally regained his senses. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes as he pulled Peng Fulai to his side and used his palm to freeze ice, exerting all his strength to block the opposing fist.

With a muffled 'bang', the marble floor beneath Li Xuan's feet shattered instantly, and his men involuntarily retreated continuously, unable to stop until twenty steps away, almost stepping into a deep pit with every step.

However, Situ Zhong also exclaimed in surprise, glancing at his right hand in astonishment.

It is indeed the cold and fierce palm

I saw a layer of cold ice condensed on his arm, even affecting the qi and blood of his skin, causing some discomfort.

At the same time, Situ Zhong also noticed Peng Fulai beside him vigorously lifting up his sleeve, revealing a purple golden crossbow on his arm, surrounded by a layer of spiritual light. That is a powerful artifact, pointing at him from afar.

Are you crazy, Captain Situ? My brother is a young master of the Sincere Uncle Mansion, after the founding of the country! Don't you know that punishment cannot be done by a senior official? Even if he commits a crime, it won't be up to you to deal with him in the Heavenly Kingdom

Is that so

Situ Zhong looked disdainful, with a hint of schadenfreude in his words: "We are not qualified to manage Yingtian Prefecture, but at most for an hour, Li Xuan, you will be grateful that your case has fallen into the hands of Yingtian Prefecture. You should know who Cui Hongshu is, right? He is the legitimate branch of the Cui family in Boling. His mother is Princess Boping, and his father is Cui Chengyou, the censor of Nanzhili. I guess now, the cousin of this censor, the commander of the right guard of Nanzhili Prefecture, Cui Zizhan, may be on his way

Li Xuan finally stopped in his tracks. At this moment, his chest and abdomen had already turned upside down, and a line of blood had also overflowed from the corner of his lips.

Situ Zhong gave a cold smile, his tiger eyes still fixed on Li Xuan, like a wolf and a tiger: "Come with me, Young Master Li. I can guarantee that at least your life will be safe in Yingtian Prefecture

Countless thoughts flashed through Li Xuan's mind for a moment. At first, he was a bit flustered, whether as a small forensic expert in his past life or as a playboy of this era, he could not help but panic after encountering such things.

But after overcoming the initial confusion, he realized that panic could not solve any problems, and his thoughts became unusually calm and clear.

Li Xuan knew that Princess Boping and Lady Cui of Boling were indeed something his family could not afford to offend. If they were "proven" to be the culprits, not only could he die in prison, but it would also implicate his family.

However, based on the current situation, he only needs to respond appropriately to resolve the crisis.

First of all, we must not follow Situ Zhong, even if we make a big fuss here, we cannot do as the other party wants.

As Peng Fulai said, the punishment does not apply to scholars and officials. This does not mean that scholars and officials are not subject to punishment, but rather are not subject to the five punishments of ink punishment, torture, palace punishment, and imperial examination, and cannot be interrogated by local authorities.

Without concrete evidence, the local government cannot directly arrest a noble like him. Even if there is ironclad evidence, it is necessary to report to the Minister of Justice of Nanjing and obtain permission before being interrogated.

But the first thing Situ Zhong did when he entered the Moon Tower was to arrest him, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

Secondly, we must seize the initiative. If Li Xuan is certain that he did not commit murder, there must be clues to clear the suspicion. He can first try to solve the problem in his best way.

Captain Situ

Li Xuan took a deep breath and bowed to Situ Zhong, saying, "Even if we are both at the Moon Tower and in the hands of the Han faction, it may not be me, Li Xuan, who did it. I wonder if General Situ can let me see the body of this Cui Hongshu and allow me to prove my innocence

Situ Zhong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why

Just rely on me as a member of the Six Departments

Li Xuan raised his hand and held a black wooden token in his hand, saying, "Since the murder of this young master Cui involves martial arts, then my Sixth Dao Division also has jurisdiction

About 1200 years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in chaos due to the fragmentation of local fiefdoms. At that time, not only were there endless wars and chaos in the world, but also demons and evil cultivators were rampant. There are great sages who cannot bear to see the people living in poverty. They lead the way between the six schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Mohism, Legalism, and Military Affairs, and establish the 'Six Dao Department', which is responsible for slaying demons and investigating all cases related to cultivators and demons.

Afterwards, it went through two more dynasties without collapsing, and its power not only did not weaken, but also developed into a behemoth over the course of a thousand years, with power secretly surpassing imperial authority.

Li Xuan's predecessor was just a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, but his father was quite capable. Two years ago, he recruited him into the Six Paths Division. Although he was only the lowest ranked eighth rank 'Demon Suppression Inspector', he gave Li Xuan the arrogant capital in Jinling and gave him the opportunity to break through this situation today.

Six officials

Situ Zhong glanced at the token and fixed his gaze on Li Xuan, his eyes even colder, with a hint of mockery and disgust: "What about the Six Dao Si? As a suspect in this case, do you still want to take over this case? Let you see the body? Give you a chance to destroy the body and wipe it out? Take it down for me

Li Xuan's pupils slightly contracted, knowing that today's situation could no longer be resolved. He couldn't let this guy manipulate him no matter what, so the only way left was to take action.

And just as the sky filled chains flew up again, Li Xuan also reached into his sleeve and touched a talisman inside. Suddenly, outside the Moon Tower, a soft and delicate voice could be heard, so pleasant that it could make his ears pregnant.

Interesting, did I just hear someone say they look down on our Six Dao Si

When these words came in, the yamen officers who were waving their chains and preparing to arrest people all had a ghostly expression. Without exception, they all used flying speed to retract the chains and wrap them back around their waists, and their swords and knives were all put back into their sheaths.

Situ Zhong's face turned even more pale. He had already spread his wings like an eagle, soaring to a position close to the ceiling. Later, he could stand high and strike Li Xuan and the three of them with a thunderous punch.

But after hearing this sound, the iron gall general caught a strange coil in mid air and fell back to a position four zhang away from Li Xuan.

At this moment, there was also a commotion outside the Moon Tower. Li Xuan glanced sideways and found that it was a tall girl wearing a purple narrow sleeved dress, covered in silver white armor, with a long knife on her waist.

This woman has exquisitely beautiful facial features like an animated character, and her temperament is enchanting and charming.

She was clearly dressed in military attire, yet she exuded a charming and charming aura. She had a three tailed spirit fox with a unicorn head on her shoulders and a snow-white body. It lazily lay down, with its tail hooked around the girl's snow-white neck. Its black chirping eyes glanced at everyone, and then it casually lay down, as if closing its eyes to rest.
