Chapter 28: Bao Gong Releases Cold and Lonely, Yu Ma Jin Shu Goes to War
"Bai Yutang's face turned red with rage, but he suddenly burst out laughing instead, 'Well then, today you'll be the one to stay behind and lose your life!'"
His body suddenly moved, turning into a white shadow. The sword was drawn out of its scabbard and stabbed towards Leng Gudou. Leng Gudou coldly shouted and drew out his Tang knife, directly stabbing out without dodging or evading. The target of the Tang knife was Bai Yutang's heart!
Bai Yutang sneered, his body motionless, his left hand slightly raised the scabbard, sending it forward, directly sheathing the Tang knife inside. At the same time, his body slightly shifted to the side, and the Hua Ying sword was about to pierce Leng Dudu's throat!
Suddenly, Bai Yutang's expression flashed, and the Hua Ying sword changed from a thrust to a horizontal slash. With a "ding" sound, the Hua Ying sword drew out a semicircle, sending an object flying out, which fell to the ground, revealing a sword that stood upright in the earth!
Bai Yutang's body slightly moved, his left hand flipped over, and with a burst of internal energy, he shook the Tang knife out of Leng Dudu's hand. His right hand held the sword hilt upside down, pointing at the acupoint on Leng Dudu's chest, then turned to look at the sword on the ground!
Bao Daren's face was also filled with shock, that sword, no matter how you looked at it, seemed to be the ancient famous sword "Giant Que"!
A blue figure flashed by and arrived, drew out a long sword, and laughed, saying, "Brother Bai, spare his life!"
"Kitty, you're back!?" "Who's there?!"
Bai Yutang and Bao Daren exclaimed in unison!
Zhan Zhao smiled and nodded at the two of them, "Lord Bao, Brother Bai, I'm back!"
Bao Zheng nodded and looked at Leng Gudu, "Leng Gudu, why didn't the prefecture kill you last time?"
"This official has always been impartial and selfless, meting out punishment according to the crime. Even in front of the Emperor, I have nothing to be ashamed of. When I sentenced your father to death back then, it was my duty as an official. Now, having killed his father, I couldn't bear to harm his son again - this is a momentary kindness from me. If you still don't know when to advance or retreat, you will regret it later!" Magistrate Bao said with a bitter tone.
"Boss Bao!" Cold and lonely expression was slightly moved, after a moment of contemplation, he spoke up, "I only ask you one question, did my dad really deserve to die?"
Bao Gong was taken aback, "What? You're his son, how could you not know!?"
Leng Gu Du sighed and said, "In those years when I followed my master to learn the art, I was not at home. After traveling far and wide, I returned only to learn of the calamity!"
Bao Da-ren shook his head, "Since it's already like that, what's gone is gone, why bring it up again?"
"Cold and lonely eyes stared at Bao Daren, 'No, I want to know, I want to know why my father died!'"
"Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you. Your father is a murderer and an adulterer, he has killed people's husbands and ravished their wives and daughters. Do you think he should die or not?!"
Cold and lonely for a moment, half a day without speaking, eyes dim!
"This official will let you off this time!" Bao Gong saw Leng's lonely expression and couldn't help but feel some sympathy, "You can go now, if there is a next time, I'm afraid this official will have to sentence you according to the law!"
Bai Yutang let out a cold snort and reached out his hand to unseal the acupoints on Leng Juedu!
"Protect and escort, Bai Xiaoxia, let's return to the mansion!" With a single order from Bao Daren, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hastily followed him into the mansion.
Leng Gudu silently watched the three people enter the government office, half a moment without a word. Finally, Leng Gudu quietly picked up his Tang knife, looked at the government office and said, "Bao Daren, I hope you didn't deceive me. If you deceived me, I will come find you again!"
He immediately turned around and left!
In the main hall, Gong Sun Ce looked at Zhan Zhao and others with a joyful face and hurriedly said, "Zhan Huwei, you're back!?"
Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Your Excellency, I have something to report!"
"Tell me slowly and in detail!" said Lord Bao.
"In Chen Prefecture's great prison, there is no one left!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked!
"Subordinates have already investigated clearly, all the offenders, whether they are death row inmates or other criminals, have been escorted to a place!" Zhan Zhao said, "That place is called Soft Red Hall!"
"All the most capable ones have been sent there to work!" Zhan Zhao explained what he knew!
Half a moment later, the main hall was silent, with no one speaking. Bao Daren's face turned even darker, Gong Sun Ce's eyebrows were furrowed into a knot, and Bai Haozi had an angry look on his face!
"Bai Mou will go to that Marquis Hou's mansion tonight and kill Pang Yu with one sword, isn't it over?!?" Bai Yutang let out a cold hum and suddenly shouted!
"Bao Daren hastily spoke up, 'White Xia, you cannot use private punishment!'"
"Sir!" Zhan Zhao said, "As it happens, that Duke Anle still doesn't know you're aware of this matter. Why don't we, Bai and I, sneak into the Soft Red Hall tonight to take a look?"
"This..."
"Sir, time is of the essence. As long as we rescue the woman from the Soft Red Hall and those workers, won't we have witnesses?!" Zhan Zhao spoke up, "This crime is evidence of Anle Hou's corruption in Fish Meat Village. Then, tomorrow, we'll arrest Pang Yu, investigate the evidence of his embezzlement of relief grain and silver, and we can convict Anle Hou Pang Yu with one blow. What a wonderful thing to do!"
"Zhan Mou escaped from Chenzhou Prison today. If the officer informs Anle Hou, Anle Hou will naturally know that the Soft Red Hall affair has been exposed. If he goes late, I'm afraid the people inside the Soft Red Hall will be silenced!" Zhan Zhao hastily said!
Bao Daren stood up directly from his seat, "Alright, since that's the case, then Zhan Huwei and Bai Xiaoxiao, you two quickly go and come back!"
"Understood!" Zhan Zhao cupped his fists, "Brother Bai, let's go!"
"Wait a minute, if both of us leave, what about the safety of Boss Bao?!" White Jade Hall's jade bone fan tapped on his left hand as he asked.
Bao Zheng said, "This matter is nothing. Leng Zixing has just been released by this prefecture, and he no longer holds such strong convictions about his father's case. For the time being, this prefecture has nothing to worry about!"
"What if it was An Le Hou who sent someone to assassinate Lord Bao?" asked Bai Yutang.
Bao Zheng shook his head, "No, Pang Yu won't. Today, Pang Yu didn't even come to the city gate to welcome our lord, which shows that he never put our lord in his eyes. If our lord had grasped evidence of his crime, he might have sent someone to assassinate our lord. However, our lord currently doesn't have any evidence of his crimes, so he won't send anyone to assassinate our lord. After all, Chen Prefecture is also his territory. If the Imperial Envoy were killed in his territory, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to escape responsibility!"
"Good!" Bai Yutang suddenly stood up, "In that case, I'll make a trip!"
"Kitty, let's go!" Bai Yutang slightly jumped and arrived at Zhan Zhao's side, stretched out his hand to grab Zhan Zhao's arm, and flashed out instantly. With the wind, they swiftly departed like lightning, leaving behind only two figures clad in blue and white dashing out!
"Brother Bai, Zhan Mou can use his own lightness skill!" Zhan Zhao looked at the old mouse's paw grasping his own with a helpless expression and let out a sigh.
"Cut!" Bai Yutang chuckled lightly, "With your half-baked lightness skills, it's better if I, the Fifth Master, bring you along and run. We'll be faster that way! Cat, lead the way!"
His eyebrows shot up, his forehead bulged with blue veins, and he cursed in his heart. "You damned white-haired brat! How dare you humiliate me like this? Just wait until I become the true Southern Fist master, and see if I won't beat you into a pig's head!"
