Chapter 114 Jin Jiuling Finds Fault

Abbess Miejue remained silent. Having roamed the martial world for many years, she could tell at a glance that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble. Otherwise, why wouldn't she intervene when she was fighting with Yi Ku? Now that Lu Ming had killed Yi Ku, why was the other party jumping out to cause trouble?

Lu Ming patted the two women on the shoulders, pulled them behind him, and stood protectively in front of them, a faint smile on his face: "May I ask your name?"

The official in official robes let out a series of cold laughs on his sinister face: "What? You dare to retaliate against the government? Don't think you're so great just because your Huashan Sect has allied with the Dragon Guard Manor. This is the capital, not some barbaric land like the Southern Territory!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Ming appeared before him, severing both of his arms with a finger like a sword. The speed was so fast that the other man didn't even feel the pain. Then, he slapped him across the face, causing him to cough up blood mixed with a few teeth.

"Who gave you the audacity to talk to me like that? Didn't your mother teach you? Or didn't your elders teach you to respect and bow down to those stronger than yourself? Just a dog, I can kill or beat it whenever I want! Tell your master behind this, don't give me that nonsense!"

"You! Ah!"

As soon as Jin Zhonggang finished speaking, another wave of intense pain struck him. All three of his legs were severed, and he was reduced to a human stump!

hiss!

Everyone gasped in shock; this was the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guard! There were many people in the capital who were not to be trifled with: the Eastern Depot, the Dragon Guard Manor, the Six Doors, the Western Depot, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the Imperial Secret Agents.

Although the power of the Great Wei was not solely held by the emperor, but rather was equal to that of the aristocratic families, it was essentially a cooperative relationship. Otherwise, after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, these people would not have been able to quickly establish their own power base after fleeing here.

A group of impoverished landlords fleeing from disaster, with no money, no people, and no soldiers, what makes them so powerful?

Isn't it all thanks to this identity? Without this identity, they're nothing!

Seeing such ruthless methods, even Abbess Miejue's eyelids twitched violently a few times. The other party was much more brutal and decisive than before, without any hesitation!

The soldiers who had followed Jin Zhong looked at each other, unsure what to say. If they attacked, they couldn't win; they might even die. Their opponent's martial arts were so superior that he could easily kill them and leave unscathed. If they didn't attack, they might face repercussions upon returning, accused of disrespecting the Grand Commander!

Abbess Miejue couldn't help but step forward and whisper, "This is Jin Zhong, one of the Grand Commanders, responsible for surrounding the palace. How could you be so ruthless?"

Lu Ming kicked Jin Zhong, who was screaming below, silencing him. He also kicked several other acupoints, using his Nine Yang True Qi to burn the meridians and blood vessels into charcoal, stopping the bleeding in the simplest way.

"He was ordered to cause trouble. Not killing him is giving the court face; severely punishing him is to send a message to those behind him: don't think you can use the court's name to do personal things. Do you really think you can represent the court?"

A large number of soldiers rushed to the scene and dispersed the onlookers, surrounding Lu Ming and the Emei Sect.

The leader was none other than Jin Jiuling, who had previously been dismissed from his post for failing to track down the Embroidery Thief, but now he had somehow risen to become a big shot.

In a sense, being appointed as the internal commander is a demotion in disguise!

The Chief Constable of the Six Doors can travel the world and handle many matters. The Grand Commander of the Imperial Palace holds a higher official position, but cannot easily leave the capital. As a result, his former power and influence have gradually diminished, and many of his connections and relationships have been severed.

"Sect Leader Lu, I am Jin Jiuling. I have long admired you. I have always heard Lu Xiaofeng say that you are quick-witted, and meeting you today, I can confirm that you are indeed extraordinary."

"Unfortunately, this is the capital. You have now harmed the Grand Commander and shown contempt for imperial authority. No one can protect you now. But rest assured, for the sake of Lu Xiaofeng's friendship, I will prepare a private room for you in the imperial prison and try my best to take care of you."

Jin Jiuling, that old fox, spoke politely, but in reality, he wasn't lenient at all. He was furious that Lu Ming, this unknown fellow, had ruined his plans. He could have easily framed the Embroidered Bandit, but instead, Lu Ming told Lu Xiaofeng instead.

The latter came to confront him face to face, even though there was no evidence to prove it was him. But after he pointed out all the signs, the blame naturally fell on him.

If it weren't for the extensive network he'd built up over decades as a constable, he would have been demoted to a commoner by now. Furthermore, after the monk Wuhua found him, the two hit it off and devised this method to deal with him.

Instead of using the methods of martial arts practitioners, they used the name of the imperial court to suppress the other side. They used the official status to cause trouble, and any resistance would be a serious crime; killing an official was a capital offense, and no one could save them.

Lu Ming gave Zhou Zhiruo and the others a reassuring look, his inner strength surging, his voice carrying throughout most of Dongcheng: "Jin Jiuling, everyone knows what you've done. You asked Lu Xiaofeng for help investigating the Embroidered Bandit case, only to use the money for your own..."

"Exonerated. Did you really think no one knew you were having an affair with the Second Madam of the Red Shoes organization? You must have used this relationship to make a lot of money from the Red Shoes and frame Gongsun Da Niang!"

"As the chief constable, he knowingly broke the law and embezzled from his own post. He used his relationship with Jiang Chongwei, the steward of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, to steal the key and make a copy, thus staging a case of embezzlement. He deliberately left behind a handkerchief embroidered with peonies and hired the world's number one thief, Sikong Zhaixing, to draw Lu Xiaofeng's attention to the Red Shoes organization. Unfortunately, I saw through his scheme at a glance, and now he's angry and has come to cause me trouble, isn't he?"

"No wonder you're the renowned Chief Constable. When you can't defeat those in the martial arts world, you resort to using the name of the imperial court to exert pressure, secretly gathering dirt on them and forcing them to work for you. You think you're so clever? Let me tell you, you're just a songstress!"

The sound lingered, reaching most of the eastern part of the city, including members of the "Red Shoes" group. A hunched old woman selling roasted chestnuts from a cart in the distance heard it, and a flash of understanding crossed her eyes; suddenly, many things she hadn't understood became clear!

It turns out there was a traitor within our ranks! Oh, really! I thought she was a trustworthy sister, but I never expected her to be secretly colluding with a man!

Damn!

With a whoosh, a large number of martial arts figures appeared on the rooftop to watch the show. They were naturally curious, and now that the scandal involving the chief constable of the Six Doors was involved, they had to come and see for themselves.

It would be even better if Jin Jiuling became enraged and killed him in the process. That way, he could appease his deceased relatives and friends, and Lu Ming would naturally take the blame!

"you!"

"What do you mean, 'you'?! How did your mother raise you?! She gave birth to a bastard like you, the worst of the worst. Knowing that the monk Wuhua likes to use the guise of preaching Buddhism to have illicit affairs with ladies from noble families and wives, you not only didn't stop him, but you joined in and even collected the names of the people involved."

"Are you threatening the officials, plotting a rebellion? You probably don't know that Monk Wuhua is a Japanese bastard who likes to write down all the dirty things he's done. Everything you've done is in there, Jin Jiuling. In the end, you've messed with the wrong person. Do you think you, Lu Ming, can mess with me? If your father knew you were collaborating with the Japanese, wouldn't he regret not shooting you against the wall?"

Lu Ming, not one to back down, revealed all of the other party's secrets. Want to arrest him? Think about what you're going to do first!
