My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Chapter 143: Yo, Isn't This Lord Feng?

Chapter 143: Yo, Isn't This Lord Feng?

Outside the Martial Inspectorate, a carriage slowly arrived.
A group of people followed behind the carriage. All of them wore bamboo hats and raincoats. They were clad in black embroidered clothes and carried long sabers at their waists.
Their neat and uniform steps had long become habitual.
With such an imposing manner, one could tell at a glance that they were trained in the army. As they walked, they carried a murderous aura.
The guards at the Martial Inspectorate subconsciously straightened their bodies.
It was unknown which government office these group were from.
The carriage stopped at the entrance, and the guard heaved a sigh of relief.
That was because they recognized Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin was still dressed the same as before. He got out of the car and used the umbrella to clear the rain, ensuring that Su Wen's clothes would not be drenched.
Su Wen got out of the car and stretched lazily before walking in.
The Secret Shadow Guards followed closely behind.
The guard hurried up and asked in a low voice, "Lord Su, who are these people?"
Pa!
Zhao Jin slapped him across the face and shouted, "Is this something you should ask?"
The guard was stunned from the slap. He looked at Zhao Jin in a daze before looking back at Su Wen. He then belatedly started shouting, "Someone, come! Someone is intruding into the Inspectorate!"
Pa!
It was another slap. This time, it was Su Wen who slapped him. He coldly said, "What are you shouting for? The Secret Shadow Guards are carrying out their duties, get out of the way!"
The guards were still hesitant. Secret Shadow Guards? That was a concept too far away for them.
Although they knew that the Secret Shadow Guards had been reestablished, the authority of the Martial Inspectorate did not involve any corruption. They were all martial artists, so they were not afraid as well.
However, Su Wen's actions left them dumbfounded and at a loss.
At this moment, Su Wen had already charged in with his men and headed straight for Xue Wanjun.
The door to the Deacon's courtyard was kicked open, causing Xue Wanjun to come out from the hall. He saw Su Wen standing in the courtyard with a group of people.
"Su Wen, what are you doing?" Xue Wanjun frowned and said, "Who are these people?"
A smile appeared on Su Wen's face. "I have something to tell you. I am now a commander of the Secret Shadow Guard. Now, I would like to ask you to come back with us and cooperate with the investigation! Lord Xue is an official of the Royal Court, so I trust you won't go against the law, right?"
Xue Wanjun's brows knit together tightly.
He asked in a low voice, "What do you want to investigate?"
"Lord Xue will naturally know when we return." Su Wen smiled.
Xue Wanjun said in a stern voice, "I'm not going! Do you think your Secret Shadow Guard can take people without reason?"
At this moment, a figure appeared in the courtyard.
The rain fell by his side, not a single drop landing on him.
It was Martial Inspectorate's Head, Feng Baichuan!
When he received the report, he rushed over immediately. He looked at Su Wen and berated, "Su Wen, the Martial Inspectorate is not your home! Don't mess around!"
Su Wen looked at Feng Baichuan before calling out in a weird voice, "Yo, isn't this Lord Feng? It's been a long time since we last met, I really miss you."
Anger rose in Feng Baichuan's heart: This little bastard, when he first joined the Martial Inspectorate, kept calling him Uncle Feng. Now that he's in the Secret Shadow Guard, he changed to calling him Lord Feng instead?
At this moment, Su Wen took out a small notebook from his pocket. It was the authorization guide that Si Tu had given him when he had taken up his supervisory role.
He glanced at Feng Baichuan out of the corner of his eye before read out loud, "According to the third rule of the Secret Shadow Guard pertaining to the authority given by His Majesty, the Secret Shadow Guard has the authority to monitor any official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. For any official who might escape, the Secret Shadow Guard can decide to detain them first before investigating the evidence of the crime.
The detained officials must cooperate with the investigation. If they don't cooperate, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and usage of violent means to suppress them can be carried out. If they resist violently, they can be killed on the spot!"
After reciting, Su Wen said to Feng Baichuan with a smile, "I think that Deacon Xue might choose to escape. If Lord Feng thinks that there's a problem, you can chop off both of Deacon Xue's legs. No, Deacon Xue is an Earth Rank expert, so even if he only has one pair of hands, his speed is not something that ordinary people can compare to. Thus you have to cut off all four of his limbs. As long as Lord Feng cuts off all four of his limbs and ensures that he can't escape, I will turn around and leave immediately!"
In reality, the emperor had written this sentence with the pretext that arrests were only to be made when one had collected a certain amount of intelligence.
However, Su Wen didn't care about that. Since it was written, he would dare to use it! As long as one did not ensure that the rules were rigorously reviewed and tested, there would definitely be loopholes to exploit. In any case, even if he was in the wrong, it would not be to the point where he would be beheaded.
What do you mean by escape? Who can define it properly? Right now, I, Su Wen, am looking at Xue Wanjun, but it looks as though he had an expression saying he's planning to escape. What should I do?
The emperor never expected that someone would be able to find a loophole so quickly.
In reality, Su Wen didn't have a good impression of Feng Baichuan either. This guy knew that he had a feud with the Xue Family and even arranged for him to work under Xue Wanjun. Did he do that on purpose?
Did he think that he, Su Wen, was an ignorant fool?
It was just that he was under someone else's roof back then, so he had no choice. Now, Su Wen was not going to indulge him.
Feng Baichuan was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think you can detain all the officials in the court as long as you think there's a possibility of escaping?"
Su Wen nodded and said matter-of-factly, "On paper, yes! However, I won't detain anyone. After all, if I detain someone wrongly, it will be difficult for my Uncle Si. I have to consider his position."
"Don't forget that you are also a member of the Martial Inspectorate!"
Feng Baichuan gritted his teeth.
Su Wen smiled. "I'm sorry, Lord Feng. His Majesty said yesterday that as long as Uncle Si agrees, my position in the Martial Inspectorate will be removed. Hence, strictly speaking, I have nothing to do with the Martial Inspectorate anymore."
"Hehe, kid, you sure have a lot of uncles!" Feng Baichuan mocked.
Su Wen smiled and said, "I have no choice. After all, Uncle Si is very particular towards me. He's not like some people who make things difficult for me!"
Feng Baichuan flew into a rage. Apart from arranging Su Wen to be Xue Wanjun's subordinate and arranging for people to test Su Wen's background, he did not make things difficult for him. Why was this brat so petty?
"Lord Feng! There's no need to speak any further. I'll go with him!" Xue Wanjun stood out fearlessly and said in a low voice, "Since His Majesty has given the Secret Shadow Guard such authority, I can't resist. Otherwise, it'll be an opportunity for others to annihilate us. I only ask to report this matter to His Majesty on my behalf. I believe His Majesty will give me justice!"
Xue Wanjun glanced at Su Wen and sneered. "I'm not guilty, and you don't have any evidence. If you want to detain someone casually, I don't believe His Majesty won't interfere."
Su Wen smiled and said, "Then there's no need for Lord Xue to worry. Follow me?"
Xue Wanjun took a step forward, and Su Wen shot Zhao Jin a look.
Zhao Jin took a step forward and rapidly tapped his fingers, sealing Xue Wanjun's acupoints.
There was no way he could use his True Qi any more!
Soon after, the Secret Shadow Guards surrounded Xue Wanjun and left.
With the addition of Su Wen, the beast of authority, the Secret Shadow Guards, had started to showcase their fangs and claws.
Feng Baichuan looked at Su Wen's departing figure and clenched his fists tightly.. He gritted his teeth as he muttered, "Brat, don't be arrogant. I'll enter the palace now and demand an explanation from His Majesty! Let's see how long you can remain arrogant!"
