Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 97 - Departure in accordance with national law

"Stop! How dare you kill someone in front of the Son of Heaven?!" Just as Meng Gao was about to attack, a few officials came in.

The dagger that Meng Gao had just raised, after struggling in his heart multiple times, was finally able to bear with it. Then he withdrew his dagger and returned to the stairs.

"Official, you finally came. If you don't come soon, my store is going to be finished." The owner appeared out of nowhere and started crying with tears and snot all over his face.

The official who just came in ignored the owner and walked straight to the butler to comfort him. "Butler Jing, are you hurt?"

"If I don't come soon, I'm going to die in the hands of this thief." Housekeeper Jing said with some lingering fear, but now he regained his composure.

"Why are you still looking at me?" Are you still not going to go and capture him? " The official who just came in wanted to capture Meng Gao.

"There are two more upstairs." Steward Jing emphasized.

"I don't know what crime I've committed, but you're going to arrest me." Meng Gao said indifferently, facing the observation, he did not feel the slightest bit of fear.

Needless to say, Meng Gao was not much different from Chu Fanliang in terms of clothes, they were all relatively simple, in order to not attract too much attention.

"Do you know the consequences of that?" Meng Gao said coldly to the official.

"What is the result? I knew you were going to be a prisoner now. " Two officials holding iron chains moved forward to trap Meng Gao.

"Look at what this is?" Meng Gao took out a golden order badge and held it in his hand.

"Who are you trying to scare with a medallion? You think I'm scared? Do you think it's a Gold Medal for Free Death? " Steward Jing could not help but mock when he saw Meng Gao take out an order badge.

However, the official flopped to his knees and shouted loudly, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The officials who followed him in were all kneeling on the ground as they shouted loudly.

"This official knows his wrongs." That official was still impressive just a moment ago, but now he couldn't be more afraid.

The golden token had the word 'Chu' written on it. This token was the symbol of the Chu family.

The 'Heaven's Might' and 'Dragon' characters had already changed so the person in front of him was at least an elite member of the Chu family. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to obtain the 'Chu' gold medal.

Another group of officials came in. They had long heard the sounds of fighting and hurried over with their troops.

"What's going on?" The leader looked at the 30 men who had fallen to the ground and then looked at the few men who were standing together with the chaotic scene in front of them. He could not understand what was going on.

When he looked at Meng Gao, his expression changed greatly. He quickly walked to Meng Gao's side and shouted.

"Prince Meng, why are you here?" The newcomers were clearly of a much higher rank than the previous batch of officers. The person in front of him was the leader of the Western Garrison.

This person was a small general who was guarding the Tongguan Pass at the time. He had personally seen Meng Gao and the other two display their might on the city walls.

He was one of the few generals who survived the Tongguan Pass war, and when he saw Meng Gao and Chu Fanliang calling each other brothers, he understood this person's position even more.

"Drinking here out of boredom. Upstairs are two of my friends, a couple."

"Oh? Did they offend young master Meng's friends first? "

"That's right. After these officials came here, they wanted to take me down without a care in the world." It was only after I took out my badge that they knew who I offended. "

"Damn it!" "Was it you, young master Meng, who said that?" Commander Xiang Ming looked at the surrounding onlookers. Seeing that the malevolent officials had given in, they all spoke the truth.

"Take them all." Following Xiang Ming's order, the officials and soldiers who had swarmed into the inn all took them down, including the officials.

"My lord, I am wronged, I am the steward of the west side of the city. This little one is wronged! " Butler Jing shouted after being subdued.

Even now, Housekeeper Jing didn't know what was going on. Was the "Chu" gold medal something he could understand? He had thought that the Zhu Clan was extremely strong, and from today onwards, he and that Zhu Clan would be finished.

"Cut the crap, bring them back for questioning. I don't need to tell you anything else." If anyone dares to pressure us, just say so. " Meng Gao had always been a cynic. He didn't change his personality today, but rather, he didn't want to embarrass the young master.

After all, his eldest brother was the Emperor's own son. If his eldest brother hadn't gone to pursue a higher cultivation realm, he would have already been the First Prince. The heir to the throne was definitely his.

Therefore, after some consideration, he decided to leave it to the officials. After all, they had to follow their orders when they were in a country.

Of course, this didn't mean that they were being trampled on. On the contrary, they were the arbiters standing on top of all this.

"Wait!" Chu Yunyan came out from the guest room dressed in cloth and stopped the retreating soldiers.

"Princess, this humble subject pays his respects to the Princess." Xiang Ming could not believe it. Just how powerful was this little store? Young Master Meng was here, and even the princess was here.

So that's how it is. So young master Meng is here to protect the princess. No wonder. Xiang Ming thought to himself as he actually called out the princess.

"What?" That woman is a princess? "

"No wonder it looks so similar. During the day, the central plaza is too vast, so I couldn't see it clearly. So this is it?"

"I pay my respects to the princess!" The surrounding people might not know about Meng Gao, but they definitely knew about the princess. The founding princess of the Nine Regions Empire, was only this one, the only daughter of the Nine Regions Empire's king. Who would dare to offend him?

"No need for formalities." Chu Yunyan was also helpless, he never thought that such a big mouth as this would actually be said directly.

She had wanted to hide it, but she did not expect an accident like this would expose her.

"Find out what crimes the Zhu Clan has committed and leave in accordance with the laws of the country. Don't let a bad person get away with it, but don't let a bad person get away with it either. "

"Yes sir!" Xiang Ming finally left, submissive and submissive.

Meng Gao's intention was to get rid of the Zhu Family, but Chu Yunyan wanted the officials to punish him for his crimes, if he was innocent, he would not pursue the matter.

With Chu Yunyan coming over, the imperial family's prestige in the public was already good. If this news were to spread, it would definitely be better.

Even princesses didn't go back on their ways. If they followed the normal procedures, how could ordinary commoners know about it?

However, the Zhu Family did not escape calamity. Because they had participated in gangs wars in the capital and often bullied men and women, they were punished according to the law.

Along with those that were punished, there were also some officials in the west of the city who were punished. Those who colluded with each other were not spared.

Chu Fanliang and the other two were completely unaware of all that had happened. They had all returned to their own rooms to quietly rest, and waited for the future to be interesting.
