The Return of the Demon

The man with a rat-like face had his limbs broken by Ning Chen. How many ribs did he have?

He lay on the ground groaning with a swollen nose and a mouth full of blood.

The servants were so scared that they were trembling.

The family of the man who vomited blood looked at Ning Chen with fear and more gratitude.

The old doctor's eyes were filled with shock.

Ning Chen paused for a while, walked over and picked up another stick, and swung it at the servants...beating them so hard that they cried for their parents and screamed.

Ning Chen stopped only when he was tired.

Ning Chen looked at the old doctor and pointed at the man who vomited blood, "Hurry up and treat him. Leave the rest to me."

He planned to take these people to find the uncle of the king.

If he didn't take all the responsibility on himself, the uncle of the king would not let the old doctor and his people go.

He is the silver-clad official appointed by His Majesty. If even he cannot bear this responsibility, the old doctor and others will not be able to bear it, and will be trampled to death like ants.

The old doctor's eyes flickered, and after a while, he seemed to have made some kind of decision.

He bowed and said, "Sir, can I have a word with you?"

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

The old doctor came to the back hall and asked Ning Chen to wait for a while, and he walked into a room.

Not long after, the old doctor came out with a book in his hand.

The old doctor came to Ning Chen and knelt on the ground.

Ning Chen was startled and hurriedly reached out to help him, "What are you doing? Get up quickly, I can't bear this."

"Sir, I can bear it!"

"Although my eyes are dim, I can still see people clearly... Your Excellency is full of passion, integrity and kindness, and I will leave this to you."

The old man presented the book in his hands with both hands.

Ning Chen asked curiously, "What is this?"

The old man said, "This is the evidence of the crimes of all the officials in Chongzhou, from the prefect to the county magistrates. The evidence of their corruption is all in this book."

Ning Chen was shocked, "Where did you get this thing?"

The old man said, "This is something that an old friend entrusted to me before he died, and asked me to pass it on to someone I can trust."

"He is the legal advisor of the Zhenyuan County government, and I was a childhood playmate... He still has a conscience, and he recorded the evidence of all the officials in Chongzhou in this book."

"He paid his life for this book... Now this book is handed over to you."

As the old man said this, he actually kowtowed to Ning Chen.

"Sir, the people of Zhenyuan County are in your care."

Ning Chen hurriedly helped the old man up.

He knew the importance of this book.

"Old man, listen to me..."

Ning Chen lowered his voice and explained a few words.

After listening, the old doctor nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

......

The street was dusty.

Ning Chen walked in front with his left hand on the hilt of the knife.

Behind him, a group of bruised and limping servants were carrying the half-dead man.

Ning Chen did not take the evidence with him.

This time he had to face the uncle of the emperor, the brother of the queen.

He didn't know if he could get out of the uncle's mansion alive?

So, he couldn't take the evidence with him.

The uncle's mansion had a bright door, and a pair of stone lions in front of the door were majestic and domineering.

This was a seven-story building, magnificent and luxurious... in sharp contrast to the dilapidated buildings around it.

At this time, the uncle's mansion had a high stage.

Under the stage, the uncle, Chongzhou officials of all sizes, and Pan Yucheng and others were watching the show.

The people were hungry and had eaten all the tree bark... But on every table here, there were delicacies, wine and food.

One by one, the beautiful women were walking among the crowd, pouring wine and drinking with them.

These officials, who were full of food, were hugging the beautiful women and toasting each other. It was so lively.

"My lords, I toast you a glass!"

"Pan Jinyi, you see, we are in a poor and remote place, and there is nothing to show for it. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

"Come on, let's toast to the big shots from the capital together."

Pan Yucheng and a group of silver clothes were toasting and chatting with the officials from Chongzhou.

The uncle was dressed gorgeously and was fat. When he smiled, the fat on his face was shaking.

His small eyes narrowed into a slit, and he was very proud.

He was originally an official in the capital, but his ability was really poor. He was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling... Later, he was sent to Chongzhou by Emperor Xuan.

In name, he came to Chongzhou to supervise the officialdom, but in fact, he was given a nominal position and asked to live in Chongzhou and wait for death. After all, he was the queen's brother, and he could not be dismissed directly.

But when he came to Chongzhou, the emperor was far away, and he relied on the queen's name to do all kinds of bad things and became a local emperor.

The uncle narrowed his eyes and looked at Pan Yucheng and others with disdain... What is the Supervision Department? Didn't he still get it done by him?

On the first night when Pan Yucheng came to Zhenyuan County, he sent money and beauties, and these people accepted them all.

At this time, a servant came to the uncle and whispered a few words in his ear.

The uncle was startled at first, and then his face became gloomy.

"Go, bring the people in!"

The uncle stood up and shouted to the stage: "Stop it."

The gongs and drums stopped immediately.

Everyone looked at the uncle in confusion.

The uncle looked at Pan Yucheng and asked with a smile: "Pan Jinyi, do you have a silver-clad subordinate named Ning Chen?"

Pan Yucheng's eyes shrank slightly, and his heart skipped a beat. Did Ning Chen get into trouble?

He nodded and said, "Yes, there is this person."

The uncle came to Pan Yucheng with a big belly and said with a fake smile: "Pan Jinyi, your subordinate is not very sensible?"

Before Pan Yucheng understood, he heard a messy sound of footsteps.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

I saw a young man in silver fish-scale clothes, with a long sword on his waist, holding the handle with one hand, walking towards this side.

Behind him, followed a group of bruised servants, and another person was carried.

All around, the soldiers of the uncle's mansion drew their long swords, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

The uncle was a royal relative, and was allowed to raise soldiers privately...but the number was limited, not more than fifty.

Pan Yucheng and others looked worried. Why did Ning Chen appear here rashly? The people who hurt the uncle of the emperor... Where did Gao Ziping and Feng Qizheng go?

Ning Chen looked around, looking at the gorgeous stage, the table full of delicacies, fine wine and delicious food... He was furious.

"Good, very good... The people outside are poorly clothed and hungry, and the bark of the surrounding trees has been eaten up... But you are here to build a high stage and live a luxurious life."

"Father and mother official, a good father and mother official of the people... I think you are just a group of beasts in human clothing."

Ning Chen was furious and kicked over a table with one foot.

"I fucking let you eat and drink..."

Ning Chen's eyes were about to spit fire, and he overturned several tables in succession.

"This lord, calm down, what happened? Is it worth your anger?"

An obese official with a goatee came forward with a smile and asked.

Ning Chen turned his head and looked at him, "Who are you?"

"I am Ai Wenguang, the magistrate of Zhenyuan County."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, "Are you the magistrate of Zhenyuan County?"

"Yes, I am!"

Ning Chen took off the long knife from his waist and smashed it hard on Ai Wenguang's head.
