Chapter 539 (1/2)



539 Chapter 87-how to break out of this situation?

After half an hour, Xu Qi ‘an stepped out of the noble spirit building and stood at the bottom of the building. He closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment before leaving resolutely.

He left the Yamen and rode the pony along the unimaginably wide main road in the inner city, galloping towards the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen.

The main road was more than 100 meters wide and led directly to the Imperial City. It was the road that the Emperor would take when he went out. This width was mainly to prevent assassins from lying in ambush on the side of the road. If they were ambushed by arrows or assassination, such a wide road would provide sufficient buffer time for the Imperial Army.

Not long after, they arrived at the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen.

Xu Qi ‘an saw second uncle Xu’s figure in the distance. He was dressed in armor and armed. He must have received the news when he was patrolling the street and rushed over immediately.

Second uncle Xu was stopped outside the door by the guards of the Ministry of Justice.

The two guards shouted loudly. One of them reached out and pushed second uncle Xu. He didn’t dare to fight back and staggered back.

“What, a mere hundred-man commander of the Royal saber guard dares to barge into the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen?” One of the guards pointed at Xu Pingzhi’s nose and scolded him,”if you don’t get lost, don’t blame me for being rough.”

Xu Pingzhi clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, “”I’m xu Xinian’s father. I have the right to visit him.”

“No one is allowed to visit those who have committed fraud in the imperial examination. This has always been the rule,” another guard said sarcastically. You’re just an illiterate man, what do you know?”

Xu Pingzhi really didn’t know. The case of cheating in the imperial examination was too far away for him to come into contact with.

“Then why are you still asking me for thirty taels?” Xu Pingzhi’s eyebrows shot up in anger.

“So what if I’m cheating you? this is the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen, you still dare to make a move. Try and touch one.” The guard sneered.

“Oh … tui?”

The other one was even more straightforward and spat at Xu Pingzhi.

Xu Pingzhi hurriedly dodged.

The two guards laughed wildly.

“Phew …”

Second uncle Xu slowly let out a breath and looked at the two rows of soldiers walking out of the Yamen. It was obvious that if he dared to cause trouble in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

He had given them a handle for nothing.

“Get lost!”

The guard stammered and berated.

Tap tap tap tap … Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Looking in the direction of the sound, a strong and healthy horse was charging at the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen.

He crashed into the two guards who were frowning.

Bang! Bang!

One of the guards couldn’t avoid it in time and was hit in the chest by the young mare. He flew out heavily and struggled for a moment before slowly falling to the ground, injured and unable to get up again.

Someone actually dared to commit a crime in front of the Ministry of Justice’s Yamen?
