"My lords, Zhang Xiaopeng despises the court, ignores the king's laws, and wants to lynch ordinary people. Do you not care about it?!"
Shan Liangji's roar echoed in the Courtyard of the Ministry of Justice.
He had been guessing what evidence Zhang Xiaozu was talking about, and whether there were any omissions that Zhang Xiaozu had caught, but he didn't expect that the evidence Zhang Xiaozu mentioned was referring to him.
This son of a bitch actually pulled out a knife in the courtroom where the three divisions were interrogated. Does he have any legal rights?!
Shan Liangji was extremely angry.
He found that his meticulous plans and layouts were nothing to an unruly man like Zhang Xiaozhu.
"Master Xu, what should we do?"
In the lobby of the Criminal Department, hearing Shan Liangji's angry roar, Tan Yuanji and Situ Wen looked at Xu Zhengping dumbfounded.
They have been officials for decades, and this is the first time they have encountered such a situation.
All the government officials also looked at Xu Zhengping, waiting for his order.
"That's unreasonable!" Xu Zhengping, with a dark face, slapped the tree on the wall, stood up and shouted: "Stop!"
But before the sound could reach the door, it was swallowed up by the fierce fighting outside.
"——" Tan Yuanji, Situ Wen and all the government officials couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Xu Zhengping when they heard Xu Zhengping's feeble shout.
Xu Zhengping himself twirled his goatee in embarrassment and said angrily: "Let them beat you if you like. We will judge you after beating them to death. Director Li, go out and keep an eye on me. Anyone who breaks anything will be given to me."
The official will note it down and double the compensation afterwards."
"Yes." Director Li accepted the order.
These words made everyone think that Xu Zhengping was indulging Zhang Xiaopeng.
Neither Tan Yuanji nor Situ Wen spoke.
Firstly, Xu Zhengping was the presiding judge, and secondly, they also felt that there was something wrong with the uncle's house.
Shan Liangji's meticulousness and calm answers made them suspicious.
when!
There was an ear-splitting collision in the yard, causing the dust on the beams in the lobby to fall down.
Zhang Xiaozu's body flew upside down and hit the courtyard wall with his back, causing a section of the courtyard wall to collapse.
Shan Liangji's whole body was shining with stars, revealing his true cultivation level.
He held a long sword in his hand and floated more than ten feet above the ground. He looked down at Zhang Xiaopeng and sneered: "It's really a scholar who meets a soldier. I can't explain why. Fortunately, I'm not a scholar."
"interesting!"
Zhang Xiaozu stared at the power of the stars on Shan Liangji and became excited.
After the fierce battle in the Shao family where the inferiors defeated the superiors, he realized something new, and he needed a star-level opponent to confirm it for him.
His knees bent, his body suddenly jumped up from the ground, and he swung his knife towards Shan Liangji, who was suspended in the air.
Shan Liangji sneered disdainfully.
He was also one of the spectators during the Shao family's battle, so he knew that Zhang Xiaozu did not have the ability to float.
So he quickly climbed up, imagining the funny scene in his mind of Zhang Xiaopou jumping up like a clown and then falling down.
But before the ridicule in his heart could show up on his face, Zhang Xiaozu appeared in front of him, frightening his heart.
"Are you surprised, are you surprised?" Zhang Xiaozu raised the corner of his mouth proudly, and at the same time slashed at Shan Liangji with his knife.
In his six seas of Qi, strong winds blew up, blowing up huge waves dozens of feet high.
His leap into the sky relied on the power of huge waves rising from the sea level, and his sword relied on the power of the huge waves crashing down.
when!
The two long knives collided together again.
Shan Liangji had almost no resistance at all and was struck down by Zhang Xiaopeng's sword. His body fell to the ground like a kite with its string broken.
boom!
His fallen body collapsed the roof of a house.
Zhang Xiaozu fell back to the ground with a bang, staring at the right hand holding the knife in surprise.
The power of this knife was much stronger than he expected.
He couldn't help feeling that he was really going further and further on the road to violence.
Bang——
Shan Liangji broke through the window and rushed out of the collapsed room, and Wang Wu chased after him.
Zhang Xiaozu stared at the power of the stars shining on Wang Wu's body and showed a very surprised expression, but what surprised him even more was Wang Wu's sword.
quick!
It was so close that he had to use a subtle state of mind to see clearly.
Shan Liangji was enveloped by the power of his sword and had no chance to fight back. He could only parry and parry again.
"Wang Wu, you will regret it!" Shan Liangji roared angrily.
He is threatening Wang Wu.
But Wang Wu's sword was faster.
puff!
A cloud of blood mist exploded on Shan Liangji's left shoulder, and his defense was finally broken by Wang Wu's sharp knife.
He couldn't help but panic.
"It's over." Zhang Xiaozu noticed Shan Liangji's subtle mental fluctuations and knew that the outcome was decided.
Because Shan Liangji could barely resist Wang Wu's sharp knife, his panic at this moment would definitely be like an ant nest that collapsed a dam, and Wang Wu would grab him and tear him open.
Puff puff--
As Zhang Xiaozu expected, Wang Wu's knife completely defeated Shan Liangji's defense and opened bloody wounds on Shan Liangji's body one after another.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Shan Liangji had more than a dozen wounds on his body, some shallow and some deep, and the blood stained his clothes red.
"Sir, help me!"
Shan Liangji was completely panicked and rushed to the lobby of the Criminal Department with a roar, trying to seek help from Xu Zhengping and the others.
Wang Wu caught up quickly, and the sharp blade passed through Shan Liangji's right shoulder, taking away Shan Liangji's entire right arm.
The knife was as fast as lightning, and even Shan Liangji felt no pain when his severed arm fell to the ground.
He even thought about swiping his sword to resist Wang Wu's sword, but he waved it away.
Wang Wu swung his sword three times, cutting off Shan Liangji's left arm and both legs, and then he sheathed his sword and backed away.
"ah--"
Shan Liangji lay on the ground and screamed miserably.
"Cough-cough-"
But Wang Wu, who was completely victorious, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, coughing out blood from his mouth, and his face was as white as paper.
Then he coughed more and more violently, his face swelled from waxy white to the color of pig liver, his lips turned purple, and he looked like he was choking to death because he couldn't breathe.
"——" Zhang Xiaozu was shocked and quickly stepped forward and put his palm on Wang Wu's back, channeling the pure Tao power into his body.
Then he was shocked to find that Wang Wu's internal organs were all broken, especially his lungs, which were only half of those of a normal person.
If it weren't for the power of the stars wrapping his internal organs, he would definitely be dead.
With the help of Zhang Xiaozu's pure Tao power, Wang Wu's cough suddenly eased a lot, and he said with a wry smile: "That's funny."
"It's a miracle that you are still alive." Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but sigh.
He could see that the injuries on Wang's internal organs were all old injuries, and they should have been suppressed by the power of the stars, but the fierce battle just now caused the injuries to explode.
"Let's just make do with it." Wang Wu replied breathlessly.
"With such a serious injury, why show off? Can I let him run away?" Zhang Xiaozu shook his head, feeling that there was no need for Wang Wu to risk his injuries and fight to the death.
Wang Wu took a few deep breaths, suppressed his cough, and said, "This bastard dares to threaten me with my family. I will not let go of this rare opportunity to kill him."
The reason why he was able to suppress Shan Liangji from the beginning was actually to use the power of Zhang Xiaopou's sword to seize the opportunity when Shan Liangji was out of breath after being slashed by Zhang Xiaopou's sword.
He practices sharp swordsmanship. Once he seizes the opportunity, he will be ruthless and will not give his opponent a chance to recover.
Otherwise, with his poor condition, it would be almost impossible to kill Shan Liangji by himself, so he said this was a rare opportunity to kill Shan Liangji.
Zhang Xiaozu saw Wang Wu slowing down and walked towards Shan Liangji.
Shan Liangji's limbs were all severed by Wang Wu. He was using the power of the stars to wrap the severed limbs and carry them to the torso, but Wang Wu had killed the life of the severed limbs with his sword energy, so it was difficult to take them back.
He was lying in a pool of blood, screaming in terror and pain, looking extremely miserable.
"Instructor Shan, should I ask you to explain the crimes committed by the uncle's house, or should you take the initiative to explain yourself?" Zhang Xiaozu stopped beside Shan Liangji and asked with a sneer.
The evil deeds Shan Liangji did made Zhang Xiaozhu unable to sympathize with him.
"I don't understand what you are saying? I only know that you are lynching me in an attempt to make me surrender. I want to see the emperor - ah -"
Before Shan Liangji could finish his words, Zhang Xiaozu penetrated his body with the power of a ghost curse, and he immediately felt a torture that was a hundred times more painful than having his limbs broken off.
He finally understood why no one could withstand Zhang Xiaozhu's torture, saying whatever he asked, even without asking, because the burning pain in the soul was simply not something that anyone could bear.
"Zhang Xiaozhu, if you have the guts, give me a treat!" Shan Liangji roared.
"You have a beautiful idea." Zhang Xiaozhu sneered ruthlessly and threatened: "With the strength of your soul in the star realm, it is not a problem to persist for several months. I will find a big water tank to soak you in it later.
You take your time and enjoy it.”
Shan Liangji was so frightened that his scalp exploded.
"Ah - I can't stand it anymore - I'll do it, I'll do it all - ah - it hurts me to death -"
After all, he couldn't bear the burning pain in his soul, his spirit collapsed, and he gave up resistance.
In fact, he could have used the power of the stars to break his heart and commit suicide, but he didn't just leave because he couldn't worry about his uncle Cao Deming.
He wanted to use his remaining body to carry everything and fight for a way for Cao Deming to survive.
Zhang Xiaozu wiped away the power of the ghost curse on Shan Liangji's soul, lifted him to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice and threw him on the ground, and then said to Xu Zhengping, whose eyelids were twitching: "Excuse me, sir."
There was no need for Xu Zhengping to ask, Shan Liangji took the initiative to explain himself.
"Over the years, I have been using the reputation of my uncle's house as a cover to engage in the disgraceful act of forcing girls into prostitution."
"I lent Zhao Laosi's money on purpose. I also sent people to engage in pornography in the restaurant he opened. I trained Zhao Yue'e and sold her to Fang Chengyu. I forged the deed of sale."
As he spoke, he opened the void space with his thoughts, and many things fell out of it.
"These are the accounts I have made over the years," Shan Liangji said.
"Send it up." Xu Zhengping ordered the yamen servant.
There are twenty-three account books in total, which record the names of every woman sold by Shan Liangji, and how a trap was set to force them to sell themselves.
His hunting grounds are not just in the Imperial City, but also cover several major cities around the Imperial Capital.
The numerous crimes are shocking.
Bang!
Xu Zhengping quickly flipped through several account books and became livid with anger. He threw the account books on the table angrily and cursed: "Shan Liangji, you are simply a human with a beast's heart. You are worse than an animal. Even death will not be enough to atone for the heinous crimes you have committed."
!”
"Haha, I did harm a lot of people, but I saved more people. As the saying goes, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I saved so many people that it was enough to atone for my sins." Shan Liangji said.
smiled.
"You are just saving people to cover up your crimes, how can you have any merit at all?" Xu Zhengping said angrily.
"You are an adult, you are right." Shan Liangji sneered.
Xu Zhengping slapped the crowd angrily and stopped engaging in a meaningless verbal dispute with Shan Liangji. Instead, he asked: "Shan Liangji, were you the one who killed the ninety people in Xiangyang Village?"
"Yes." Shan Liangji agreed.
His mood suddenly became angry, and he twisted his face and roared: "I promised to compensate each of them one thousand taels of silver, and then build them a luxurious martyr cemetery on Liaoyuan Mountain in the west, and let them put the remains of the martyrs.
I moved there, but they refused to let go, so it’s not that I want to kill them, it’s that they want to die themselves!”
"Fuck you!" Wang Laizi was furious when he heard this and shouted: "Qinnan Mountain is the resting place of martyrs. They dedicated their lives to the empire. After their death, they didn't even leave a name, and they couldn't even put up a tombstone.
How dare we, who are still alive, and our descendants, who are enjoying a happy life, disturb the heroic souls?"
"So you framed Huo Xingwu?" Xu Zhengping asked.
"Hehe" Shan Liangji smiled gloomily and said, "I gave him a hallucinogenic drug, and then sent the people from Xiangyang Village in front of him one by one to be hacked to death. He chopped them with great energy."
"Shan Liangji, you fucking bastard!" Wang Wu yelled when he heard this.
He knew that Huo Xingwu's life was over, and Huo Pingfan's career was also over.
"Shan Liangji, I have something that I don't understand," Tan Yuanji said.
"Excuse me, sir."
"My uncle's house has always been short of money, why do you want to hurt these poor women?" Tan Yuanji asked in confusion.
"Your Excellency, you are wrong. The uncle's palace is very short of money, because building the Dengxian Pavilion is too expensive." Shan Liangji corrected him.
"Uncle Guo ordered you to do all this?" Xu Zhengping asked with a frown.
"Haha——" Shan Liangji burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" Xu Zhengping asked displeasedly.
"That damn fat man who weighs more than 800 pounds only eats and sleeps. It's troublesome to take two breaths. Do you think he has the brains to instruct me?
Let me tell you a secret. The reason why he is so fat that he can't stand up is all because of the medicine I put in his meals every day.
Ha ha--"
Shan Liangji laughed proudly, making everyone's hair stand on end.
