Chapter 89 You are a foreigner, why are you pretending to be a relative of the emperor? (Please be the first to order!)
"Whoever steps out of this door will die."
In Lihuatang, Zhao Duan's voice was not loud.
But because the room was so quiet that the sound of a pindrop could be heard, it was clearly delivered to everyone's ears.
His expression was still the same, and his sitting posture had not changed. It was as if the golden knife that flew out suddenly had nothing to do with him, and the explosion just now had nothing to do with him.
In the courtyard, the lush pear trees swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.
The cool breeze blew on Li Lang's body, causing intense cold sweat to break out and send chills down his spine.
It's like standing in front of the gate of hell. If you make a mistake, you will be doomed.
"You..." The dandy's Adam's apple rolled and his body was about to lean forward.
I felt the blade between my eyebrows stabbed a little more, and I quickly retracted my dangling legs, but I stood still, not daring to move rashly.
"ah--"
It was only then that the other four people woke up.
The cute new female officer Chai Qian Kerou let out a short exclamation and froze in place, at a loss.
Under the thorn-headed Hou Renmeng's clothes, his muscles were tense and bulging. He held the handle of the knife with his right hand and stared at the trembling "Golden Crow Flying Knife".
Wu Fu's instinctive sense of crisis made him on guard, but he felt a little chilly in his heart.
He knew in his heart that if the knife just came towards him, he would be seriously injured even if his head was not cut off.
Without it, it’s too fast!
In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be defeated.
The Golden Crow Flying Knife is inherently light, and after Zhao Duan obtained it, he held it in his hand every day.
Nowadays, it is no longer a problem to talk about being like an arm and commanding someone, but to quietly issue a sword.
"This flying knife..."
Chen Juan, a lying-down young man with dark circles under his eyes and a lazy manner, squinted his eyes and stared at this top-quality magic weapon, as if he could see something.
Even Old Man Zheng, who was holding a large ceramic teapot and studying the newspaper in his residence, also stopped his casual posture.
He looked at Li Lang and then at Zhao Duan.
Suddenly, he realized that he and others might have made some mistakes in their judgment of the new Jisi.
Bullying the superior?
No... maybe, it's the lawless genius.
"Zhao...Zhao Duan, what do you want to do?!"
After retracting his right leg, feeling that the flying knife was no longer approaching, the playboy Li Lang returned with three souls and seven souls, and finally realized what had happened.
A burst of evil fire suddenly burst out.
What's more is the anger and disbelief caused by the following.
In his eyes, the pretty boy raised by the empress was undoubtedly a lackey of the royal family.
So, as a royal heir, he should be considered half master.
How can any lackey in the world dare to bark at his master?
This was the confidence he dared to confront Zhao Duan.
As for the reason for hostility, it is not entirely based on his domineering personality.
More importantly, the relationship between Zhao Duan and the empress reminded him of the wild men of his biological mother, Princess Yunyang.
As the son of a princess, he should have a high status.
But if the mother is dissolute, the father dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
In the long run, the psychology will be somewhat extreme.
In addition, a lackey was parachuted in as his immediate boss and asked him to come to greet him... He was dissatisfied, so he gave him power.
Unexpectedly, the other party's reaction was far more violent than he expected.
"Remember your identity," Zhao Duan said calmly:
"Here, you are a subordinate and I am the Chief Inspector. You must listen to what I say.
Otherwise, it would be despising the superior officer, and the subordinates would offend the superiors. As far as I know, military attachés are most taboo about the subordinates committing offenses against the superiors. The imperial edict is also a forbidden army. If it is according to military law, how should it be dealt with? "
This skilled big hat pressed up, making Li Lang feel as uncomfortable as a fly.
But after calming down, he was convinced that Zhao Duan did not dare to really hurt him, and immediately said angrily: "You are a lackey, and that's why I got the following offender!"
His eyes caught a glimpse of the dead and precious bird in the half-cage in his hand, and his eyes immediately turned red:
"How dare you kill my bird! If I sell it, your whole family won't be able to afford it!"
Excited, he shouted loudly: "Get the guy named Zhao!"
However, the four Jinyi people did not move and just watched coldly.
They are just working together as colleagues, and of course they have no feelings.
I don't want to offend Zhao Duan at this juncture.
Li Lang was angry and called him by name: "Hou Renmeng! Aren't you bragging that you dare to cut off the head of a high-ranking official? What are you doing in a daze? Kill him! Your Majesty will take the blame and I will bear it!"
With his arms folded, the thick-browed and big-eyed Spicy Tou didn't bother to talk to him, but instead watched the show with great interest.
"Qian Kerou! Go and call Ma Yan over. If I get hurt, let's see how he explains to my mother!"
Li Lang was replaced by someone who was easy to bully.
The innocent and foolish female officer was at a loss as to what to do and looked sad. She neither dared to offend Li Lang nor was afraid of being stabbed.
"Okay, don't scream. I'll put my words here. Today, if I don't put away my sword, whoever dares to take a step forward, don't blame me for being merciless."
Zhao Duan said quietly: "As for you..."
After a pause, he slowly stood up and said with a smile:
"I am standing behind you. If you have the guts, turn around."
Li Lang's face turned red and he was about to twist himself.
But as soon as his head moved, he felt a bloody gash made by the blade.
He tried to retreat, but the Golden Crow flying knife was like a tarsal maggot, always pressed firmly between his eyebrows, making him dare not move.
"Look, he's in a hurry."
Zhao Duan sighed softly, with a caring tone:
"I told you to move, but you didn't dare to move. I told you to leave, but you insisted on leaving."
The dandy's face turned blue and he shouted: "If you have the ability, move this broken knife away, don't hide behind people, and fight openly with your Lang Ye."
Zhao Duan had a strange expression on his face, as if he was looking at a fool:
"I have the upper hand, why should I fight with you openly? Are you worthy?"
Li Lang was speechless and cursed: "Despicable villain! If you dare to hurt me, when I report to Your Majesty, you will be killed..."
Zhao Duan shook his head, his eyes becoming more and more disappointed:
"I thought you were raised by a princess after all, and there is a limit to how stupid you are, but you disappointed me."
Most of the children of powerful people are not simple.
His skill, vision, and commerce in force are far beyond those of a small family.
But there are always exceptions to everything, and people like Li Lang seem to have been raised to waste.
No wonder he was thrown into Lihuatang. Apart from his identity and background, he probably had nothing to offer.
I paid attention to him in vain, thinking he was a powerful character... Zhao Duan shook his head.
He turned around and raised his hand, and suddenly picked up the wooden stick with wrought iron at both ends from the weapon rack. It seems to be old and resembles a "ruler" used for punishment.
But it has not been used for a long time and is covered with light gray.
Carrying a stick in one hand, Zhao Duan walked slowly to Li Lang, looked at the pear tree in the courtyard, and said: "What I said just now, you haven't answered me yet, and you despised the superior officer. How should I deal with it according to military law? "
Li Lang cursed loudly and did not answer.
Zhao Duan thought to himself: "It seems that he is also a idiot. He doesn't even remember the military regulations. Then I will tell you that according to the "Laws", those who despise or insult superior officers in the army will be treated as minor depending on the circumstances. A hundred imperial staffs will be sent to exile."
After a pause, he said:
"Of course, I am generous and I won't argue too much with you. I will avoid being exiled. I will only allow you to be punished with the imperial staff. Are you willing?"
The four Jinyi people were dumbfounded, stunned by Zhao Duan's shameless face.
Li Lang was even more stunned, feeling intense uneasiness in his heart:
"Zhao Duan, how dare you..."
"Crack!"
A crisp sound suddenly resounded in everyone's ears.
Immediately, Qian Kerou and others were shocked to find that the stick in Zhao Duan's hand had hit the crook of Li Lang's right leg.
Slight bone cracking sound.
This young man with tender skin and tender flesh, who had never suffered any hardship since childhood, suddenly turned pale, and with a "pop", he knelt down on one knee!
Immediately, he screamed like a slaughtering pig: "Ah!!"
"Shut up, or else you'll be punished in court and slapped a hundred times." Zhao Duan said calmly, and then added:
"This is the first stroke, there are still ninety-nine strikes left, don't be impatient."
With that said, the second stick struck out with lightning.
"Plop!"
The left leg also kneeled.
Li Lang actually stopped shouting.
It wasn't because of his strong willpower, but because Zhao Duan hit his meridians this time, making him feel numb all over and temporarily lose his voice.
Zhao Duan weighed the stick, turned around, stood directly opposite him, and said condescendingly: "There are still three fires before the new official takes office. Why do you want to draw fire on yourself? The princess's heir is amazing. If you can, change your surname to Xu."
He pressed the stick on the opponent's right shoulder and said contemptuously: "You are a foreigner, how can you pretend to be a relative of the emperor?"
…
…
Outside the imperial office gate, on the carriage.
Mochou closed his eyes and rested for a long time, but there was no movement, so he couldn't help but become suspicious.
According to her estimation, Zhao Duan should have entered Lihuatang after such a long time.
The thorny head headed by "Li Lang" will most likely give the new boss a slap in the face.
When the two sides faced each other, regardless of the others, with Li Lang's background, a villain like Zhao Duan, who tended to follow people's influence, would definitely be wary of him.
"Could it be that the guy named Zhao really got together with Li Lang? They share the same odor with each other? Integrate into them? Then there's no need for me."
"But in this case, wouldn't he be a prosecutor in name only? What's the point?"
Mochou's face changed, and he felt worried. He thought for a moment and said:
"Go to the main entrance of Ewha Hall."
There are nine hall entrances, with side doors connected in series inside, but there are also separate entrances to the outside.
The guard driving the car responded.
After a while, the carriage arrived at the wall of Lihuatang. Before it reached the gate, Mochou faintly heard the screams.
"Did you hear anything?" the female prime minister asked the guard.
The guard said: "It came from the courtyard. It seemed like someone was being tortured and wailing."
Lihuatang is far away from the imperial prison and is not a punishment hall. How could it be... Mochou was surprised. Suddenly his face suddenly changed and he thought of some possibility:
"Stop the car!"
…
"Crack!"
When the third stick fell, Li Lang once again let out a louder and heartrending scream, and his whole body almost fell to the ground.
The Golden Crow Flying Knife circled Zhao Duan twice before he retracted his cuff.
At this time, even the four people who were eating melon and watching the show also twitched the corners of their mouths and secretly sucked in air.
Qian Kerou turned her head sideways, unable to bear to look directly, lowering her head and muttering silently:
I can't see, I can't see...
Shen Juan grinned and shrank his neck.
Old Man Zheng swallowed and spit.
Only Hou Ren was fierce, his eyes were shining, and he was faintly excited.
In front of Lihuatang, the "official servants" who were affiliated with the Jinyi Colonel also ran out of the duty room and gathered after hearing the sound.
They are all "elites" carefully selected from the other eight halls. Although they have no background, they are all thorny.
Yesterday I learned that the new Jisi was the empress, and I felt a lot of contempt and shame in my heart.
Seeing this brutal scene, I was shocked.
The way he looked at Zhao Duan was wrong, and he put away his arrogance.
This is exactly Zhao Duan's purpose.
If you want to gain a foothold in a strange place, the most effective way is to find the biggest thorn here and use it to establish your authority.
Li Lang, who felt the gazes coming from outside, knelt down and wailed, his face flushed red, feeling doubly humiliated.
At this moment, the pain from the whipping on my body was not as hurtful as the shame.
The words of begging for mercy that were about to blurt out were swallowed hard.
"Hey, your mouth is quite tough. It seems you are not convinced."
Zhao Duan was amazed, and the stick in his hand was already placed on the former's left shoulder:
"Ninety-seven more blows."
Li Lang was so frightened that he almost fainted!
At this moment, noises came from outside the crowd, and then they parted like a tide.
I saw the "female prime minister" wearing a female official's robe, wingless black gauze on her head, and plum blossoms on her eyebrows, leading several guards to come hurriedly.
Li Lang was so excited when he saw the savior that he almost cried with joy:
"Mo Zhaorong! Save me! Kill these thieves quickly!"
Mo Chou paused for a moment and was stunned for three breaths.
Then he walked to the front of the hall with an expressionless face and looked at the instigator with strange eyes.
Zhao Duan raised his eyebrows: "Why did you come in?"
…
ps: I originally planned to write a testimonial for its release, but something temporarily delayed it. This book is also the first one since I entered the industry that has been put on the shelves without writing a testimonial. It is also the first book that has not been updated when it is put on the shelves... I have not saved the manuscript, so it is temporarily coded. One chapter is out, and there will be updates during the day.
