He Yan's calm voice sounded as terrifying as a vengeful ghost to Luo Jinghe.
"What do you Xuanwu Guards want to do!"
"What have I done wrong!"
Luo Jinghe panicked, losing his composure and striking a defiant pose.
"Does the Prefect know that your Xuanwu Guards are here to arrest me?"
"My father is a teacher of Prince An and an investigating censor of Anzhou!"
"The Xuanwu Guards dare not act against me without evidence!"
He Yan only spoke a few words, but they frightened Luo Jinghe out of his wits.
Luo Jinghe revealed all his backing, wanting to remind He Yan that he had powerful support.
Without evidence, even the Xuanwu Guards couldn't recklessly arrest him.
"Luo Jinghe, come with me obediently, and you'll avoid physical suffering."
The next second, Luo Jinghe's entire body erupted with terrifying blood energy, causing the ground beneath him to crack inch by inch.
The aura of a perfected Blood Refinement Realm!
"Hmph!"
"Overestimating yourself!"
He Yan ignored this powerful blood energy, directly leaping forward, his hand forming a claw, grabbing towards Luo Jinghe.
Luo Jinghe abandoned the idea of resisting He Yan, instead running towards the lake, attempting to escape.
However, his self-proclaimed speed was insignificant in the face of a Qi Circulation Realm martial artist.
Before Luo Jinghe could reach the shore, a strong and forceful hand instantly grabbed his shoulder.
Then, that hand clenched tightly, the five fingers like sharp blades, inserting into Luo Jinghe's flesh.
In pain, Luo Jinghe wanted to turn around and counterattack He Yan.
An unstoppable aura surged from He Yan's hand, flooding into Luo Jinghe's body.
Luo Jinghe's blood energy was like encountering a flood or a ferocious beast.
Wherever He Yan's inner Qi went, Luo Jinghe's blood energy was shattered and dispersed.
Seeing that Luo Jinghe's entire body's blood energy had been defeated, leaving him with no power to resist, He Yan coldly said.
"Come with me!"
Xuanwu Guard Headquarters!
"What do you Xuanwu Guards want to do? I didn't kill Huang Shi. You need to provide evidence."
"Otherwise, my father won't let you off, and Prince An won't let you off either."
"Don't think the Xuanwu Guards can do whatever they want!"
At this time, Luo Jinghe was imprisoned in a secret underground prison.
Inside the iron cage, Luo Jinghe's limbs were locked with specially made Xuanwu Guard chains.
Outside the iron gate, two older Xuanwu Guards sat at a wooden table, quietly enjoying tea.
As for Luo Jinghe's threats, they seemed not to hear them.
They had been guarding the Xuanwu Guard dungeon for countless years.
They were used to people entering the Xuanwu Guard dungeon and still chattering endlessly.
Before long, two figures walked from the distant dungeon passage.
The newcomers were Vice Envoy He Yan.
"You two, leave!"
The two Xuanwu Guards guarding Luo Jinghe respectfully stood up when they saw He Yan.
"Yes, Vice Envoy!"
After the two left, the light in He Yan's eyes flickered uncertainly.
"Alas, I don't know how much trouble this will cause."
"Old Li, you'll have to bear the brunt of this!"
"This Xuan Envoy is truly a hero!"
"Unbelievable, unbelievable!"
After arresting Luo Jinghe and imprisoning him in the dungeon, He Yan went straight to Lu Xuan, who had just returned from Lanshan County.
What He Yan didn't expect was.
This Xuan Envoy didn't hesitate at all, didn't even look at the Bai Dao Prefecture's Vice Prefect Luo Jinghe, and directly sentenced him to death!
It was the kind of death sentence that didn't even need a trial!
And who else could execute the order to execute Luo Jinghe other than himself?
He Yan sighed helplessly.
"My Lord, spare me!"
"I really didn't do it!"
When Luo Jinghe saw that the person who came was the Xuanwu Guard Vice Envoy who had arrested him, he quickly begged.
There was no way out. In this ghostly place where no one could hear him, Luo Jinghe could only humble himself.
"Vice Envoy, I am Prince An's confidant in Bai Dao Prefecture."
"If you dare to touch me, Prince An will definitely not let you off!"
In Luo Jinghe's heart, Prince An was the sky of Anzhou.
Even the Xuan Envoy was not qualified to provoke Prince An.
Prince An...
Do you think I don't know your background?
He Yan agreed with Luo Jinghe's words and had told the Xuan Envoy about these things.
However, it was useless!
"Lord Luo, the Huang Shi case has been confirmed by the Xuan Envoy, and a decision has been made."
"No trial is needed, immediate execution!"
He Yan's words made Luo Jinghe's eyes tear apart, unable to believe this result.
"I don't believe it, you're lying to me!"
"I want to see the Prefect, I want to see the Xuan Envoy!"
"What grievances do I have with you that you want to deal with me like this!"
Seeing Luo Jinghe blaming everything on him, He Yan didn't intend to explain.
He couldn't possibly tell him that he had offended the Xuan Envoy and should blame him.
Clang!
A crisp sound of a blade rang out, and a cold light flashed, carrying a sharp wind.
A cold light emerged from the void, cutting through the air, attacking Luo Jinghe.
The next moment, everything in front of Luo Jinghe turned upside down.
Then, a round object fell to the ground with a thud.
..............
Inside the hall, besides Lu Xuan, there was another person.
That was the Bai Dao Prefecture Prefect, Hong Zhi!
Faced with Lu Xuan's summons, Hong Zhi naturally dared not neglect it and hurried over.
"Prefect, this is the evidence that this envoy sent people to search Luo Jinghe's place."
"There are many letters here, all correspondence between Luo Jinghe and officials from various county offices."
"Among them are Huang Yangping, the former county magistrate of Qingyun County, and Huang Shi, the missing Xuanwu Guard."
"Give this envoy an explanation!"
Prefect Hong Zhi looked at the letters piled next to him, sweating profusely.
Even the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat at some point.
As a Qi Circulation Realm martial artist, he felt unprecedented pressure in front of this young Xuan Envoy.
Even Li Chengfeng had never given him such a dangerous feeling.
This feeling reminded Hong Zhi of the trembling he felt when he faced a Qi Circulation Realm expert in the Blood Refinement Realm.
"Don't know, or pretending not to know!"
"Prefect, you know in your heart."
"Alright, the reason I asked you to come is to take away Luo Jinghe's body and establish his guilt."
Lu Xuan saw through Hong Zhi's disguise at a glance, but he didn't care.
This time, Lu Xuan summoned Hong Zhi to have him take away Luo Jinghe's body.
Prefect Hong Zhi heard this news and stood up in front of Lu Xuan.
"Luo Jinghe is dead!"
Finally, Hong Zhi realized his gaffe and whispered.
"Dead........."
"What, Prefect, are you questioning this envoy's decision?"
Lu Xuan's question made Hong Zhi repeatedly reply: "No, I mean the Xuan Envoy did well."
"Luo Jinghe is ambitious and plots wrongdoing, daring to harm the Xuanwu Guards, he deserves to be killed!"
