Chapter 122 - 121: Not Following Martial Ethics

"Don’t be anxious, take it slow. If you get too angry, I won’t be able to explain it to the higher-ups."

Just then, Chen Xuan squatted down and looked at him, then asked, "People just want to survive, is there anything wrong with that?"

"Hmph!"

Xia Yu snorted coldly, "Winners are kings, losers are bandits. I lost today, have nothing more to say! You don’t have to pretend to be a good person here, it’s disgusting."

Uh...

Got scolded.

I originally wanted to tease him a bit, but decided to ignore him instead.

A moment later, a commotion of footsteps was heard.

Chen Xuan looked over to see Qin Gang rushing over with a dozen people.

The East District and South District are adjacent, such a loud noise just now, he must have heard it.

Qin Gang ran up to him, "Boss, are you okay?"

"What could be wrong with me? You should be concerned about our South District’s Chief Constable, Lord Xia Yu."

Qin Gang saw the dignified Chief Constable of the South District, now disheveled and pale-faced, "Boss, this...?"

"Collusion with the rebel army!"

"What?" Suddenly, Qin Gang was startled, collusion with the rebel army!

That’s a capital crime!

"Oh, and that General Shen too! Take them all back... no, send them directly to the Divine Capture Bureau Headquarters, to avoid trouble. As for the others, take them back to the East District’s Divine Capture Bureau first, they are all small fry!"

"Yes, boss!" Qin Gang responded immediately, then waved back to his men, "Go, take the traitors Xia Yu and General Shen away."

Then he looked at the small fry mentioned by Chen Xuan, "Behave yourselves, don’t court death! I’m not as easy-going as the boss."

"Heh..." Chen Xuan watched this kid, almost laughing, this kid sure knows how to talk.

And at this moment,

the Divine Capture Bureau personnel from the West District and North District also finally arrived.

Moreover, the North District was personally led by Luo Encheng.

Upon seeing Xia Yu, his expression changed drastically and he came over to Chen Xuan, "Sir, he...?"

"Colluding with the rebel army!" Then he patted his shoulder and added in a voice only he could hear, "You should also take care of yourself!"

Then left the scene.

"Really glad I didn’t agree, huh." At this moment, Luo Encheng’s gaze turned to Xia Yu. A few days ago, the rebels approached him again, luckily he refused in the end. Had he agreed, then now...

’Also, does Chen Xuan know something?’

Recalling that last phrase he said just before leaving, was it a warning, or?

But in any case,

"Thank you!"

Qin Gang, however, came over smiling, "Lord Luo, do me a favor, I’m short-handed, please take these small fry to the East District’s Divine Capture Bureau. I’ll take the two big fishes to Lord Zhuge."

"Go ahead!"

"Hehe, thank you, thank you!"

Then he waved grandly, "Let’s go, guys, to deliver the big fish!"

....

Divine Capture Bureau Headquarters.

Zhuge Potian sat in the hall like this, without sleep all night.

Looking at the overnight interrogation records in his hand.

He never expected Xia Yu to betray, he was the Chief Constable of the Divine Capture Bureau.

And according to Xia Yu’s confession, Chen Xuan turned out to be Fourth Grade?

"This kid...."

Smiled bitterly, turns out he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger all along.

Really....

"Chen Xuan hasn’t arrived yet?" shouted loudly outside.

At this time, a Junior Constable hurriedly walked in and reported respectfully: "Reporting to the lord, he hasn’t returned yet!"

"Go hasten him, damn it, I haven’t slept all night, and he’s good, it’s near noon, even walking should have arrived by now!" Zhuge Potian was really displeased.

Sent three groups of people.

They kept saying they’ll come soon, this has been so long, what soon!

"Here he comes, here he comes, my Lord Zhuge!" Chen Xuan’s voice echoed into the hall, finally arriving.

As soon as he entered the hall, he started complaining, "Sir, you really don’t care about your subordinates. Patrolling the four districts yesterday, used all my strength to subdue Xia Yu and the others, utterly exhausted, you’re good, not even letting me rest properly."

Actually, what he said was true, the exhaustion was real, but not because of Xia Yu and them, but because of the women at home.

As their strength improved, their combat power was not what it used to be.

To maintain a man’s dignity, he must conquer them with full force, otherwise, his face would be lost.

This... with a slight slip, it was dawn.

Although he finally delivered a speech to the women as a victor, he was indeed quite tired.

"Get out of here, you brat, I haven’t even found fault with you yet, still you start complaining, Fourth Grade, oh a Fourth Grade, hiding it from me for so long! Really outrageous! All for treating you so well!" Zhuge Potian got furious at just the sight of him.

Though Xia Yu just recently broke through Fourth Grade, Shen Kuo had been Fourth Grade for a while, his strength wasn’t weaker than his.

And based on the confessions, as well as examining their injuries himself, it was brutal, all the acupoints were shattered.

Chen Xuan must be at the peak of Fourth Grade, maybe even approaching Third Grade.

Little rascal actually toyed with him for so long.

"Hehe!" Chen Xuan chuckled; he knew this couldn’t be hidden any longer, so he had to explain, "Just keeping a low profile, but Chief Steward Feng knows I’m Fourth Grade."

However, thinking in his heart, if Zhuge Potian knew he was actually Third Grade, what would his expression be?

Of course, it’s just thinking, there’s a limit to showing off.

Besides, saying it out loud also comes with risks.

"Hmph!" Zhuge Potian gave him a cold glance.

Damn it, Feng Zheng knew but didn’t tell him.

However, he didn’t continue to nitpick; considering the Divine Capture Bureau having a fourth-grade expert like him is a good thing, at least it can keep those below in check, saving him some trouble.

"By the way, this time it’s thanks to you. I’ll forgive you. But from now on, you need to keep a close watch on the Divine Capture Bureau, got it?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Chen Xuan deliberately exaggerated his tone.

"Be serious!" Zhuge Potian glared at him, a real rascal. Then his expression turned serious, "Overnight interrogation last night confirmed that the rebel army needs all kinds of rare treasures, and in large quantities."

"I’ve seen those things myself, guessed they are used to forge something. Later, I need to report all this to the Lord Mansion Master at the City Lord’s Mansion."

"And..."

At this point, Zhuge Potian’s face showed concern, "Not only the Divine Capture Bureau, but quite a few other Government Offices in Youlan Mansion have probably also sided with the rebel army. You need to pay more attention in the future."

"Understood, my lord!"

Chen Xuan, putting aside his casualness, replied seriously.

"Hmm!" Zhuge Potian nodded, "Lastly, it’s the Zheng Family. You personally gather the entire Divine Capture Bureau and capture the whole Zheng Family, don’t let a single one escape!"

"Make it grand, make it fierce! Let these aristocratic families see that having rebellious thoughts will lead to the same end as the Zheng Family."

At this moment, murderous aura emanated from Zhuge Potian, his eyes chillingly cold.

He had long been displeased with these aristocratic families in Youlan Mansion. Taking advantage of this incident, it was a good chance to curb their arrogance.

Don’t think that being deeply rooted in Youlan Mansion makes them untouchable.

"Got it, but wait..." Chen Xuan asked puzzled, "My lord, aren’t you coming? The Zheng Family isn’t weak."

"With you there, why do I need to go? Besides, I have to go to the City Lord’s Mansion, where’s the time? Those capable should work more. It’s up to you. Hurry up, I’ve already sent someone to notify the Patrol Camp. Today, no one can leave Youlan Mansion!"

"Alright, I’m off to the City Lord’s Mansion!"

After saying this, disregarding whether Chen Xuan agreed or not, he strode out of the hall.

"Damn!"

After Zhuge Potian left, Chen Xuan cursed in dissatisfaction. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have bothered last night.

Those capable should work more!

Bullshit!

Cursing, he left the Divine Capture Bureau, prepared to rally people!

....

In front of the Zheng Family.

"What is your Divine Capture Bureau doing? This is the Zheng Family!" Seeing the dark mass in front, at least a hundred constables from the Divine Capture Bureau, the Zheng Family’s guards immediately shouted loudly.

Their Zheng Family is the top family in Youlan Mansion.

Businesses are spread throughout Youlan Mansion.

And they have deep connections with other Government Offices in Youlan Mansion.

Not to mention the Divine Capture Bureau, even the Lord Mansion Master would have to consider thoroughly before moving against the Zheng Family.

So, even facing so many constables from the Divine Capture Bureau, they remained unafraid.

"Zheng Family, quite a Zheng Family!"

Qin Gang stepped out from the crowd, speaking coldly.

At this moment, the onlookers grew more numerous, astonished in their hearts, the noble Zheng Family was surprisingly surrounded by constables from the Divine Capture Bureau.

What crime has the Zheng Family committed?

Seeing it was about time, Qin Gang shouted loudly, "The Zheng Family colluded with the rebel army, discovered last night by Lord Chen Xuan of the Divine Capture Bureau. Everyone, take orders, arrest everyone in the Zheng Family and bring them back to the Divine Capture Bureau. If anyone resists, execute on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of constables from the Divine Capture Bureau responded in unison, deafeningly.

"What?"

"The Zheng Family colluded with the rebel army?"

"Is it true?"

"It was discovered by that Lord Chen Xuan of the Divine Capture Bureau, shouldn’t be wrong, right?"

"Damn, this Zheng Family!"

....

The crowd of onlookers started discussing, while Qin Gang led all the constables of the Divine Capture Bureau rushing into the Zheng Family.

Instantly, chaos ensued throughout the Zheng Family.

Pleading... crying... unending.

And Chen Xuan just watched this scene silently, without a trace of pity.

This world is so cruel, once you make a mistake, there’s no room for regret, even if you’re just a servant, it’s the same.

"Presumptuous, who dares act presumptuously at the Zheng Family!"

Zheng Ze shouted angrily, resounding throughout the Zheng Family.

"Liu He, Liu Yi, Luo Encheng, Qin Gang, go together, capture him!" At this moment, Chen Xuan unceremoniously commanded four people to jointly besiege Zheng Ze.

"Chen Xuan, wait, I want to meet Lord Mansion Master! This is all a misunderstanding!"

Although he guessed the matter of the rebel army was exposed, he still wasn’t resigned. He wanted to appeal to the Lord Mansion Master, the Zheng Family couldn’t be destroyed in his hands, even if it meant sacrificing himself.

"You want to see the Lord Mansion Master, surrender first!"

"You...."

Once in the Divine Capture Bureau, meeting the Lord Mansion Master wouldn’t be so easy, of course Zheng Ze wouldn’t be willing.
