Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 104 The government and the public are in an uproar!

Zhou Xing was really angry this time. Since the establishment of the Senate, everyone who saw him was polite and called him Master Zhou.

He never expected that someone would dare to kill his godson.

If the murderer is not stripped of his skin and cramped and executed in public, how will the Magistrates' Court investigate hundreds of officials in the future?

Thinking of this, he stood up from the ground and said coldly to Xiao Jing.

"It's too early for you to be happy. No one in the Tang Dynasty dares to offend me, Zhou Xing."

"Since Fan Xin dares to come and die, then I will help him!"

"let's go!"

In Xiao Jing's anxious eyes, Zhou Xing strode out of the room.

When he arrived at the courtyard, the gangsters who had received the news had already gathered here, and everyone had a hint of ferocity on their faces.

There are always no taboos in the work of the Magistrate's Court. Now if someone comes to make trouble, it is natural that they will be severely punished.

"Master Zhou, all three hundred court officials have gathered and are waiting for you to speak!" Scarface said ferociously.

Looking across all his subordinates, Zhou Xing nodded expressionlessly.

"Everyone, we, the Judicial Council and Dali Temple, have always stayed within the same boundaries."

"Now that the other party is making trouble, how can we bear this tone?"

"Listen to my order. All people in Dali Temple will be arrested for treason. Anyone who resists will be killed!"

"I humbly obey my orders!" Three hundred court officials shouted in unison!
next moment.

A group of cruel officials, led by Zhou Xing, walked toward the courtyard gate in a mighty manner, making the prisoners tremble with fear wherever they passed.

They couldn't figure out who had committed the crime and deserved such a big fanfare by the Magistrates' Court to arrest him.

……

The gate of the Magistrates' Court.

Fan Xin held the golden dragon sword in his hand and said nothing. Around him, nearly a hundred temple guards stood solemnly, staring at the closed door with fierce eyes.

"Brother Xu, it's been two-quarters of an hour since Fan Xin's silver was sent in. Why is there still no reply? Could it be that even ten thousand taels of silver can't impress Zhou Xing?" Lu Junhai asked curiously.

"It's not that simple." Xu Zong frowned and said, "Don't you see that the people in Dali Temple look murderous?"

"This is a momentum that can only appear on the battlefield. If my prediction is correct, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle today."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a breath and said with a trembling voice.

"Brother Xu, are you saying that Fan Xin is going to lead troops to snatch Xiao Jing back?"

"Is that impossible?"

Everyone found it hard to believe that the Magistrates' Court was a notorious place, with so many famous ministers and generals dying there.

Even Xie Siqing, who was in charge of Dali Temple, was so frightened that he reported illness and went home. Fan Xin was only a fourth-rank official. How dare he?
Xu Zong said bitterly: "I don't believe this is true. After all, this kind of thing has never happened in the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"But look at Fan Xin and his men, do they seem to be here to give gifts to Zhou Xing?"

Hearing this, everyone didn't know what to say for a moment, because they found that what Xu Zong said was true.

Fan Xin really didn't have the slightest attitude to calm things down!
Just when everyone could not calm down for a long time, the gate of the Magistrate's Court suddenly opened, and a group of court officials holding water and fire sticks rushed out.

Behind them, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face strode to follow, and finally stopped in front of Fan Xin and said coldly.

"Did you kill Zhou Jun?"

Fan Xin opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, and said calmly.

"Yes, it is this official!"

"Why kill him?"

"Whoever breaks into the important grounds of Dali Temple without my permission will die!"

Zhou Xing laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, you are still the first person in the world who dares to kill my son, Zhou Xing!"

"There is a kind!"

After finishing his words, Zhou Xing shouted loudly: "Come here, take them all down for me!"

"Yes!" The officials shouted and rushed towards the people in Dali Temple. Seeing their posture, they didn't take them seriously at all.

The Dali Temple side also refused to give in at all, drawing out their sabers and rushing towards the officials.

They are all old people who survived the battle at Hanguang Temple, so naturally they are not afraid of a few ruffians.

"Hmph, some local ruffians dare to act arrogantly in front of the young master. They really don't want to live or die!"

A fierce light flashed in Liu Zi's eyes, and the [-]-jin giant hammer in his hand swept out like a meteor. Several court officials who rushed at the front were unable to dodge, and their heads were smashed on the spot.

Bloody red and sticky brain matter was everywhere.

Seeing this scene of fighting, the scene suddenly became quiet, and all the hospital officials looked at Liu Zi with horrified eyes.

They didn't expect that the thin boy in front of them could be so brave, blowing the heads of four court officials with one hammer.

Is this still the same Dali Temple that used to nod and bow when we met?

The onlookers were also startled, and they all stepped back, and smashed the heads of the four court officials with a hammer. I am afraid that the most powerful soldiers in the army are nothing more than that, right?
Seeing that the scene was quiet, Fan Xin inserted the golden dragon sword into the scabbard and said calmly.

"The Judicial Council detained the prisoners of Dali Temple without authorization, and now intercepts and kills the investigators of our Judicial Department. If you put down your weapons, I will give you a lighter sentence."

"Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

With a crash, hundreds of water and fire sticks were thrown to the ground, and the cruel officials squatted down consciously with their heads in their hands.

Before they entered the Magistrate's Court, they were all gangsters on the street. They were good at fighting, but if they wanted to risk their lives against Dali Temple, they wouldn't dare even if they had a hundred courages.

Fan Xin glanced at Zhou Xing, who was livid and trembling, and motioned to Zhang Huan and Li Lang to bring Xiao Jing out.

Not long after, Xiao Jing came out with the support of the two people.

When she saw the cruel officials of the Magistrate's Court surrendering, a flash of surprise flashed through her beautiful eyes, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She found that she seemed to be becoming more and more interested in this man.

"I thought about many people, but I didn't expect you to save me." Xiao Jing said with a smile.

"It is within my official duties to take the prisoners of Dali Temple into custody, and it is not a matter of whether they can be rescued or not."

After saying this, Fan Xin waved his hand and planned to lead people back to Dali Temple.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing, who had a gloomy face, suddenly burst into laughter and said with a ferocious expression.

"Fan Xin, do you really think that the Magistrate's Court is a place where you can come and leave as you please?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you. I have sent someone to the palace to report to the Queen Mother."

"In half an hour at most, the imperial court's decree to convict you will arrive."

"When the time comes, I want to see how you can heroically save the beauty!"

……

Shangyang Palace, main hall.

Wu Zetian suddenly stood up and stared at the little official with scarred eyes.

"What did you say! Fan Xin led the troops of Dali Temple to surround the Magistrate's Court?"

Scar, the clerk, knelt down and added jealously: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely true!"

"Fan Xin first killed Judge Zhou's son, and then forced us to hand over the beautiful female prisoner."

"Judge Zhou disagreed, so Fan Xin sent troops to attack the courtyard gate in a frenzy."

"When I came to the palace, the Dali Temple and the Judicial Council had already been sealed!"

These words were like a huge stone smashing into the water, which immediately caused an uproar in the court. No one thought that Fan Xin was so bold and dared to lead troops to besiege the Magistrates' Court!

Doesn't he know that the Magistrate's Court is the royal prison of the Queen Mother?

Surprisingly, Wu Zetian seemed very calm and casually asked Fan Xin if he was injured before issuing an imperial edict.

"It is proposed that since Zhou Xing of the Judicial Council has taken charge of the affairs of the court, he has committed mass killings, which is really harmful to the peace of the heaven and earth. Therefore, he is demoted to a commoner and his crimes are interrogated by Junchen!"

"Fan Xin, the young minister of Dali Temple, led troops to besiege the Yamen. His crime is so heinous that it cannot be forgiven. He is specially fined ten copper coins to show the strictness of the law!"
