The Knife Guest in the Realm Chapter 58 Juxtaposed
Iron is ruthless and good at making swords.
Ever since he took charge of the Law Department of Kawajo, Iron Ruthless had never used a sword.
His sword is fierce and not sharp, but he kills decisively. An old man in Dadu once said that those in power did not need to wield a sword, so he put down the sword in his hand in order to reassure the old man. Now that he had retaken the sword that had hung in his room, he sat at a table with a blank piece of paper in his right hand in his right hand holding its scabbard.
Side by side with the blank paper is a case file, a case file with no results.
In the two thousand nine hundred and eighty-three years of the immortal calendar, the family surnamed Li in the west of the city all disappeared overnight, and there was no trace of fighting at the scene, no bloodstains, and disappeared out of thin air.
In the two thousand nine hundred and eighty-four years of the immortal calendar, the surname Zhao and the surname Sun in the north of the city disappeared.
In the two thousand nine hundred and eighty-five years of the immortal calendar, two families disappeared again.
In the year 2986 of the Immortal Calendar, five families were missing. In the same year, the Department of Justice sent 11 investigators, but none of them returned.
In the year 2987 of the Immortal Calendar, three families were missing.
......
The case file turned to the year 2,991 of the Xianli calendar, and the case file four years ago changed, and there was an additional sentence like this: The scene was chaotic, and it was suspected that two groups of people had fought here.
From the 2,984th year of the Immortal Calendar to the present, a total of 16 years, an average of 5 families have disappeared every year, men, women and children, which means that nearly 30 people have disappeared every year, and 480 people have disappeared in 16 years, which is only a small number.
The Department of the Law broke fifty men in these cases, fifty brothers of the Division of Law, fifty brothers of the Iron and Heartless.
It is true that human life in troubled times is like mustard, but this is a prosperous era, a peaceful and prosperous era governed under the royal family of Chu State.
The blood of more than 500 people flowed in a pool, which was enough to gather into a lake, a lake that occupied a small area and was bloody.
Tie ruthlessly's hand holding the scabbard increased its strength little by little, the green tendons on the back of his hand protruded, and he closed his reddened eyes and went to the past to seek answers......
The spring color of the capital can't hide the prosperity of this city, no matter which street is full of noisy people's voices, shouting, and ripping, there are no less. Occasionally, a few rich sons rode on high-headed horses on the streets, and ordinary people would avoid them one after another, discussing whose sons they were, and the tone was resentful, but most of them were envious.
At the gate of the capital, the soldiers on duty carefully checked the people entering the city. Different from the official roads of the Immortal City, the official roads of the capital are unusually wide, and they are all paved with bluestone road slabs, which are rigorous and neat, and the sound of the horse's hooves can be heard on it, and the official carriage runs on it without a trace of bumps.
A fiery horse galloped from the other end of the pipe, a young man leaned over with a long sword on his back, holding the reins of the horse with one hand, the oncoming wind disturbed the young man's long hair, and he held up the token with the other hand, and shouted: "Law Division, iron is merciless." β
When the soldiers on duty at the gate heard these words, they hurriedly opened the wooden fence at the gate, and when the horse passed by the gate, all the soldiers stood up straight, struck their left chest with a fist with their right hand, and then bowed their heads slightly.
The military salute of the Chu army is not bowed to high-ranking officials, and only those who are admired by the Chu army are qualified to let these soldiers make such a courtesy.
And the man they worshipped was the young man on the horse, the Department of the LawβIron and Ruthless.
At this time, the reputation of Iron Ruthlessness had spread widely in Dadu and throughout the Chu State. The government and the opposition know that the Iron Master of the Law Department is a good official who is honest and honest, and is jealous of evil.
Iron Ruthless rode his horse from the city gate all the way to the Law Department in Dadu, and as soon as he pulled the reins in his hand, the fierce horse under his crotch leaned on his back, and his hooves stepped on the road in front of the Law Department.
Iron ruthlessly slapped the horse's back and jumped off the horse, rushing from the gate of the Law Division to the main hall of the Law Division.
In the main hall sat an old man, the head of the Law Division, the iron ruthless master, and the court member of the official residence - Wei Xiongshan. The celebrities and magnates of the capital saw him as if they saw the king of Hades, so he had a nickname, called King Wei Hades.
Tie ruthlessly stepped into the door of the main hall, lifted the front hem of his clothes with his right hand, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and hugged his fists, and said, "Master, ruthless is back." β
When Wei Xiongshan, the master, saw that his beloved disciple had returned, a smile appeared on his face, stretched out his hand, and said, "Be ruthless." β
Tie Ruthless, who was kneeling underneath, raised his head ruthlessly and said, "Yes." β
Wei Xiongshan looked at the heroic Tie Ruthless lovingly, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Tie Ruthless: "Ruthless, what do you gain by going to the frontier to handle cases?"
Tie who stood up was ruthless, his eyes were full of breathtaking magic, and he said loudly: "All sins are hidden." β
The head of the Law Division who was on the throne was happy with this sentence, and the old voice reverberated in the main hall of the Law Department with wantonness, "Good, good, haha......"
............
The autumn leaves fall on the sycamores, and the cold flows most of them.
In the autumn of this year, the government and the opposition were shaken.
That day and night, Tie Ruthless led the people of the Law Department to surround the compound of the Hubu Shangshu, and nearly a thousand guards with knives and knives surrounded the courtyard with torches.
Tobe Shangshu put on his official uniform neatly, opened the door of the mansion and faced Tie Ruthless in front of the gate.
Hubu Shangshu looked at the people on the street outside, his body trembled angrily, he pointed at Tie Ruthless, and asked loudly: "Tie Ruthless, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will report this matter to Your Majesty and punish you for the crime of murdering a member of the imperial court." If it is Your Majesty's Mingjian, you are colluding with the private party, this time you are surrounding my courtyard, so next time you are going to surround Your Majesty's palace?!"
The firelight shone on Tie Ruthless's face, and the yellowish light revealed the indifference on Tie Ruthless's face, and Tie Ruthless parted the sword at his waist and said, "My Law Department has never said anything about the case, only evidence and iron law. Lord Shangshu doesn't need to wear this high hat for Tie, I am a ruthless person, Your Majesty knows it, and the people also know it. β
Tie ruthlessly shouted behind him, "Come on, read his crimes to this Lord Shangshu." β
A clerk with a book in his hand stepped forward, his palms were a little tight, and Tie Wushu felt his nervousness, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and gave him a reassuring look.
The clerk's heart calmed down a little, and he stepped forward again under the murderous gaze of Lord Shangshu, and read out loudly: "In the nine hundred and seventy-fifth year of the Xianli calendar, the great river was flooded, and the imperial court extracted 10 million taels of silver from the treasury to deal with the disaster, and Lord Shangshu, as the person in charge, withheld 5.8 million taels of silver, and the degree of disaster relief on both sides of the river was low, causing the embankments on both sides of the river to break the embankment again, and the flood drowned more than 100,000 people. β
The clerk turned the page and continued: "In May, Ling Gongzi robbed the people's daughter on Dadu Second Street and killed the family surnamed Wu. In June, Lord Shangshu colluded with private workshops, resulting in ......"
The clerk finished reading a thick stack of books, and every page was high-sounding blood.
Tie ruthlessly pulled out the long sword at his waist, "It's hard to write, what else does Lord Shangshu have to say?"
Tobe Shangshu's face was pale, his steps took two steps back slightly, and he opened his mouth to argue: "These are all your conjectures, yes, they are completely your conjectures, and you have no evidence." I am the head of the household, a second-grade official, and without the will of the saint, you are not qualified to arrest me. β
"The words of my Law Department are evidence, Your Majesty has given me the right to the Law Department, and it is you dog officials who will be the first to behead. β
Iron ruthlessly raised his sword and shouted, "Take it all for me, and those who resist will be killed." β
A group of guards from the Department of Law took down the household book, rushed into the house of the household department, and arrested his family.
Tobe Shangshu struggled violently, and shouted unrelentingly: "Iron is ruthless, you are not qualified to arrest me." β
A sedan chair rushed over, and the people in the sedan shouted: "Iron is ruthless, stop!"
Tie ruthlessly looked at the sedan chair, knowing that if he let the people in the sedan chair stop him, this matter might end without a problem, and he would not allow such a thing to happen. His hand holding the sword flipped over, the blade facing downward, and slashed at Tobe Shangshu's neck. The people in the sedan car flew out, and a light and shadow swept through the void at high speed, and the front part of the light and shadow carried a cold glow, pointing directly at Tie Ruthless's head - Wei Wei to save Zhao.
Iron Ruthless was unmoved, the sword in his hand was three minutes faster, blood splashed, and the cold light was also against Iron Ruthless's throat.
Tobe Shangshu died.
The person who came out of the sedan chair stared at Tie Ruthless with cold eyes, Tie Ruthless put away his sword and sheathed it, and said: "The National Teacher is one step late, and the Hubu Shangshu is dead!"
............
Above the court, a group of ministers fought for each other, divided into two factions, one with more and the other with less.
......
"Ruthless, if you let you choose once, will you regret it?"
"No regrets!"
............
In the Law Division, King Wei Yan sat on the upper seat, his face silent.
Tie Ruthless's prestige in Dadu has a tendency to become the second king of Hades, but Wei Xiongshan knows that this capital, this state of Chu can accommodate him King Wei Hades, but it can't tolerate this King of Iron Hades.
His Majesty does not allow it, the national teacher does not allow it, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces do not allow it. In order to keep Iron Ruthless, he chose to decentralize, that is, marginalize, this beloved disciple.
Wei Xiongshan said: "Ruthless, go to Mingchuan, you have to restrain your temperament, don't be so reckless." β
Iron Ruthless held the long sword in his hand and nodded yes.
"Merciless, put away your sword. The true Hades never detain souls themselves, you understand?"
"Master, Ruthless knows. β
Wei Xiongshan sighed and said, "In the future, when you return to Dadu, this Hades will have to sit with you." β
Iron Ruthless Fist Fist Said: "Master......"
Wei Xiongshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say it, ruthless, you are not me, and you don't have to be me." You are you, the iron and ruthlessness of the Law Division!"
......
At the gate of Dadu, Tie ruthlessly led the fierce horse, looking at the word Dadu above his head, and stood for a long time.
One by one, the soldiers at the gate stood up straight, and today the gate of the capital was opened for only one person.
"Iron Lord, Iron Lord......"
Someone chased after him from the city, gave a bag to Tie Wuru, and said, "Lord Tie, this is the first one for me to hand over to you, he said that if there is no good plan, you can open it if you have a thought." β
Tie ruthlessly retracted his gaze, took the bag, said "thank you" and turned over on the horse, and with a command, the fierce horse galloped.
......
The white paper on the table was the item in the bag, and next to the white paper was the case file.
