Chapter 186: The Early Bird Catches the Worm
Peace and tranquility, punishing evil and protecting the innocent.” Hong Wang swallowed nervously and responded."Could you explain the meaning of these characters to me" Ling Hao asked, taking a drag..."Received, my liege!" Ye Ji responded, then glared coldly at Wang Hongliang.
"Before that on the road, he intended to attack me at the gate. This is one thing!"
Just now, he hurt my apprentice for no reason. This is the second time!
"Disregarding rank and seniority, acting recklessly, these are the three!"
"Three crimes added together, this is a serious crime. Cutting off your arm is because I'm sparing you for being a first-time offender!"
Otherwise, death!
"West King, don't go too far! This is the capital city, not your Western Territory. If you have the guts, kill me!" Wang Hongliang took a deep breath and glared at Ling Hao, shouting in a voice filled with gritted teeth.
"You're asking for it!" Ye Ji's brow furrowed, her curved blade gleaming in her hand as she shot out with blinding speed.
"No!"
Xie Yunan and He Yunbo both exclaimed in unison, and they both made their moves.
"Get out!"
Lu Yue uttered a low voice, and a torrent of energy swept out from his palm.
knock! knock!
Both of their sword techniques hadn't formed properly and were directly deflected outward, flying out for thirty or forty meters before crashing to the ground. Their whole bodies emitted an unusually weak aura.
"Half-Step War Sovereign!" Sensing the aura emanating from Lu Yue, the two of them trembled all over, their faces filled with shock.
The deputy marshal of the Western Territories, to actually already be at the cultivation level of a half-step Martial Sovereign!
Blood Shadow Squad, terrifying as it is!
Tut!
Just as the two were flying backward, Ye Ji's blade had already flashed past Wang Hongliang's neck, a bloody line immediately appearing at his throat.
Glug glug!
He fell headlong to the ground, gaping open his mouth but not a single sound came out. His body convulsed several times before falling completely still.
At that moment, he truly regretted it. He never imagined in his dreams that the people from Shadow Gate would actually kill him!
If only I had known this beforehand, I wouldn't have been the first to volunteer for this!
To please those behind them, they risked their own lives. Why go to such lengths
Yikes!
As Wang Hongliang fell, a gasp of astonishment echoed through the room. Everyone present at the Bureau of Health was visibly trembling, their eyes wide with utter terror.
This is one of the three deputy commanders of the Imperial Guard! You're just going to kill him!
Yuan Hua, who had been standing by all along, also had a look of great excitement on his face.
He didn't expect Ye Ji to actually kill Wang Hongliang.
This reminded him of three years ago when he had come to the capital with the former Sect Master. Back then, they were incredibly stifled, not even venturing out of the Imperial Guard Station before returning home.
It's completely different from now!
"Ling Shuai this"
Xie Yunhan stood up from the ground and looked at Ling Hao.
No matter what Wang Hongliang says, he is still a member of the health department. Now that he has been killed, how can he, as his superior, explain to those above
"Aren't you curious why he died" Ling Hao replied in a low voice.
"Go and check for yourself. Three months ago, there was an environmental protection project worth over 10 billion yuan that was bid on in the capital city. A company under a powerful family participated in the bidding, and two competing companies had personnel injuries. Find out what role he played in it!"
Long before that road, when Ling Hao saw Wang Hongliang intending to attack them, he had Ye Ji inquire about the other party's information.
Once the result came out, Ling Hao basically sentenced him to death!
Just now, Canglang only crippled his one arm because Ling Hao had given him a last chance. It was all wasted by his own recklessness!
Ling Hao came to the capital this time, originally intending to make an example out of someone. Since the other party was so eager to die, he would naturally fulfill their wish!
What does "ling shuai" mean
Xie Yunhan was slightly taken aback, a vague suspicion forming in his heart.
"Go check it yourself!" Ling Hao said lightly, pausing slightly before changing the subject: "Xie Shu came to find me today specially. What's the matter"
"Nothing to worry about." Xie Yunhan shivered, "My subordinate heard that Marshal Ling was coming to the capital to investigate a case, so I came to report and see what Marshal Ling had to say!"
"Xie is thoughtful!" Ling Hao said lightly, "The Shadow Gate case doesn't need outside help. Xie Shu, please go back!"
"Ling Shuai," Xie Yunhan paused for a moment before speaking again.
"The Shadow Gate and the Ministry of Guards each have their own responsibilities. The case that the Shadow Gate is investigating is outside the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Guards, and they can't offer any help!" Ling Hao interrupted him."
After finishing, he waved his hand and said, "Go back!"
"Ling Shuai, I have offended you today. Please forgive me!" Xie Yunhan took a deep breath and continued.
"The depth of the aristocratic family shouldn't be underestimated, Ling Shuai mustn't take it lightly, please take care!"
As far as he was concerned, today's task was already completed.
From the beginning, he never really thought he could actually take Ling Shuai to the Department of Health. If Ling Shuai was that easily swayed by others, then he wouldn't be Ling Shuai!
This point, not only him, but also the people behind the scenes, are all very clear about it.
Xie Yunan's appearance was merely a show of force to intimidate Ling Hao. Everyone knows that Xie Yunan alone couldn't possibly stop Ling Shuai.
As for Wang Hongliang's death, it was purely an accident!
Heaven may forgive human mistakes, but the sins committed by humans cannot be forgiven. Everything is his own doing, he can't blame anyone!
"Thank you for the reminder!" Ling Hao smiled faintly.
"Ling Shuai, farewell!" Xie Yunhan bowed and then turned to leave.
He Yundao glanced at Ling Hao, opened and closed his mouth, wanting to say something but ultimately gave up. A trace of unwillingness flashed across his face before he turned and left.
"Zhang Liang, how are you" After Xie Yunhan and his group left, Ye Ji looked at Zhang Liang and asked.
"Thank you, Governor, for your concern. I'm fine." Zhang Liang shook his head in response.
"Hmm!" Yechiji nodded slightly. "You first take the other brothers down to heal."
"Received!" Zhang Liang nodded then, leading several members of the Yingmen youth away.
"My Lord, the Imperial Guard probably won't just let this go. They..." Yuan Hua came to Ling Hao's side and spoke.
"Hei Gong, rest assured, even if you lent them ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to act rashly!" The Judge spoke up from the side.
"Wang Hongliang deserved to die anyway, if they really want to make a big deal out of this, the ones who will end up suffering will be them!"
But… a worried expression flashed across Yuan Hua's face.
"Blackguard, don't worry. A mere Imperial Guard isn't anything to be concerned about!" Lu Yue interrupted him.
"Besides, I know Xie Yunhan. He's a decent person and knows right from wrong!"
"‘That... well, okay then…’Yuan Hua didn't press the issue further."
"Big brother, when are we leaving" Zhui Hun looked at Ling Hao and asked.
"The person Big Brother was waiting for has arrived!" Before Ling Hao could respond, Lu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared ahead.
"Huh! " At his words, the five daggers and Yuan Hua's pupils constricted slightly.
The next moment, they sensed a surge of powerful energy heading towards the courtyard.
"Martial Sect experts!" Everyone's faces flashed a hint of seriousness.an Zhenming continued."But I have a feeling, this time, Jiang Hai might experience earth-shaking changes because of his arrival!" Pan Yijie spoke with a thoughtful expression."Xiaojie, is there any wa...
