The great hero, from nine to five

Emperor Shengwu was very happy at this time.

To say why I am happy...

Let's start talking about it this morning.

Seven days have passed since Zuo Yanhan bid farewell to Xun Wu in front of the Xuanji Building. "Friends" came to the capital in haste.

According to Zuo Yanhan's previous style, at this time, he might directly attack the palace and shout for Emperor Shengwu.

But before leaving, Xun Wu Qian urged and Wan exhorted to follow what he said, Zuo Yanhan hesitated for a while, but chose to listen to Xun Wu, and led people directly outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

At this time, Bai Yupan was not in Beijing, but Zuo Yanhan took out the token from Xun Wu, and some policemen from the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to contact Bai Yupan urgently.

Fortunately, although Bai Yupan was not in the capital, he searched for Yue Bishou for more than a month and completely lost his trace. Although he was still looking for it now, he did not go too far away. It only took half a day to return to the capital.

When Bai Yupan saw Zuo Yanhan, he was a little startled, but felt that the white-haired old man was tall and not like ordinary people.

"Hahaha, little brother Bai, right? It was Xun Wu who asked me to come to you—nuo, this is something."

Zuo Yanhan didn't bother to exchange pleasantries, he directly took out Xun Wu's handwritten letter from his bosom, and handed it to the white jade plate.

Bai Yupan looked at it hastily, and then he was surprised again.

Zuo Yanhan didn't care about his reaction, and continued to take out his pair of iron balls, spinning them boredly.

Most of the people in Duojimen are more impulsive and direct, and almost all come out of the same mold. Of course, this is not because their martial arts have an impact on people's minds, but because they work from top to bottom. Over the past hundred years, they have gradually changed into what they are now. .

But although Zuo Yanhan is direct, he is not stupid. After becoming one with Xun Wu both physically and spiritually, he quickly believed in this young man, and now he even left all his family fortune to Xun Wu. Naturally, he would not pay more attention to such minutiae.

Well.. though, it's not at all a "trivial detail".

Bai Yupan, as a good brother who had fought his life together with Xun Wu, naturally trusted Xun Wu very much, so he reported the matter to the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate without hesitation.

However, this is a big case involving the prefect after all, and it was a case that was forcibly taken to the capital by people from the rivers and lakes without predicting the result. .

As a last resort, they could only report again and directly told Emperor Shengwu.

Emperor Shengwu had heard about this a long time ago, and now he is also a little curious.

What kind of person is able to travel thousands of miles to make such an accident?

You must know that although the magistrate of Kangzhou does have a record of corruption, he is still an official ordered by the court. You use the reason of "come here for a briefing" on the surface, but if there is no evidence, then don't even think about leaving this place The capital is already in the capital, so I have to sit in prison no matter what.

However, Emperor Shengwu also knew that since Xun Wu could find a way to get this person to bring the prefect of Kangzhou to the capital, he probably had genuine evidence. Therefore, he was actually more interested in this Jianghu man who brought the prefect of Kangzhou all the way.

Therefore, after hearing that the person was coming to Beijing, he did not hesitate too much, and directly ordered the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to bring him to the palace.

The palace hall is still the same hall.

But the people who entered the palace this time were not the usual ones.

It was also the first time Zuo Yanhan saw the emperor in his life, and he really didn't know how to act for the first time, thinking whether he should bow down or not.

But Eunuch Wei had already said from the side: "Your Majesty Zuo doesn't need to be too polite. Your Majesty appreciates your hard work all the way, and specially ordered you to continue as you please."

Hearing this, Zuo Yanhan stopped being cowardly at once, and he let go, and walked forward a few steps directly in front of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and greeted Emperor Shengwu loudly, and then he did not hesitate at all. Nonsense, I immediately said all the things I have collected and known over the years.

"Robbery tax?" Emperor Shengwu was slightly taken aback, stroked his crown, and looked at the prefect of Kangzhou in shock, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I know you love money, I didn't expect you to come up with such a The method is really...unprecedented."

Emperor Shengwu didn't know everything. He naturally knew most of the "big things" in this prosperous Jin land, but it was impossible for him to know too much about the details.

He knew that Li Qiang, the public servant, seemed to want to take advantage of the opening of the Xuanji Building to make troubles, but he didn't know why; he knew that the prefect of Kangzhou was greedy for money, and Man Jianghong's subordinates also had some evidence, but those special details Things are not very clear.

For Emperor Shengwu, the apex of power in the prosperous Jin Dynasty, it was not an easy task to govern such a large territory and to make the people of Li people well-fed. Even if he worked ten hours a day, he still couldn't finish it. He might miss political affairs and some local affairs.

In many cases, he just dispatched some people who met his needs to deal with the corresponding matters, and even found someone to arrange people, step by step.Just like this Xuanji Building, even if Xun Wu is not sent, he will send other people to arrange it, at least to see what happened.

It's just that in his opinion, it's enough for Xun Wu to go to the Xuanji Building by himself - even a little overkill.

After all, Xun Wu was appointed by him, and there are four famous arresters. It is already a waste of time to study a little thing.

According to Emperor Shengwu's own busy state, he wished that all the people in the prosperous Jin court would work ten hours a day, so that the prosperous Jin would prosper—of course, he also knew that not everyone could have the body of a master like him, so And no action was taken.

Of course, there is no evidence for the words, Emperor Shengwu still needs to look at the witnesses and physical evidence.

Zuo Yanhan actually doesn't understand these things very well. Fortunately, Xun Wu prepared a personal letter in advance and listed a lot of things clearly. In addition, the professional knowledge of Bai Yupan has just been sorted out in a hurry, so he quickly put everything together. The evidence was handed over to Emperor Shengwu.

Emperor Shengwu took a few glances, relying on the strength of his master, he quickly read it and memorized it, then his face remained unchanged, and he looked up at the prefect of Kangzhou: "Do you have anything to say?"

He looks calm.

When the magistrate of Kangzhou heard this, he immediately knelt down, slapped himself across the face, deeply repentant, and bluntly said that he was obsessed with money, and he deserved death...

As an important member of the Sheng Jin Dynasty, he knew that you might be able to hide your secrets outside, but if you dare to talk nonsense in front of Emperor Shengwu, there must be only one end-death.

"So, is it true that you have hooked up with the Devil's Cult?" Emperor Shengwu felt that he hadn't heard this set of clichés for more than ten years, and he was really not used to it.

The magistrate of Kangzhou froze for a moment, then quickly kowtowed, his voice thumping.

"Okay, stop knocking."

Emperor Shengwu's voice was still very calm, making it impossible to understand what was going on in his heart.

The prefect of Kangzhou stopped his movements immediately.

"Drag it on, kowtow five hundred heads, and the sound will be loud." Emperor Shengwu was still very calm.

Kowtowing is right—but not on his hall.

The magistrate of Kangzhou became excited immediately after hearing this.

Just kowtow, it seems that you don't have to die!

Emperor Shengwu is indeed merciful——

"Find an auspicious day, let's drag it to Caishikou and cut it off."

The magistrate's eyes widened immediately, he couldn't control himself in shock, after being crossed by the guards, he hastily shouted loudly, begging Emperor Shengwu to spare his life.

But Emperor Shengwu was no longer interested in him.

Turning to look at Zuo Yanhan: "Xun Wuxin said that Mr. Zuo is amazing in martial arts, can he be No. 1 under the master?"

Zuo Yanhan chuckled lightly, but said nothing.

Although Xun Wu was bragging, Zuo Yanhan believed that he deserved to be number one.

"Hahaha——" Emperor Shengwu couldn't help but also burst out laughing, "Okay! Sure enough, he is a hero in the world——Sir, do you have the spirit to compete with the people under my command?"

Zuo Yanhan...is still in the same manner, full of momentum: "I won't fight with dogs."

As soon as he entered the main hall, he found that this Eunuch Wei walked vigorously and his hands were very good. He should also be a master, but he was too lazy to fight with the eunuch.

Eunuch Wei couldn't help frowning.

"Hahaha—then how about a competition with my [Four Famous Detectives]?"

"Four famous arresters? Are they at the same level as Xun Wu?" Zuo Yanhan's eyes lit up, and then he turned to look at the white jade plate.

Bai Yupan frowned with some headache.

On the other side, Eunuch Wei was about to say something and told everyone to go to the martial arts place in the palace, but suddenly felt his body tremble, and his whole body suddenly became cold.

It was as if snow had fallen.

Zuo Yanhan actually made a direct move and grabbed the white jade plate!

Bai Yupan's gaze was fixed, he quickly drew his sword, and hastily made a move. A white sword energy surged out, showing its sharpness, but before the sword energy touched Zuo Yanhan, it actually slowed down in the air. The full sword qi was very powerful, and eight points were lost, and the remaining two points hit Zuo Yanhan's body, and turned into ice slag directly!

Bai Yupan's eyes widened immediately.

What is this person doing?

On the other side, as the two of them fought, Shuang Manqiu, who was standing on the side in a daze, seemed to be a different person. She drew out her long sword and stepped forward.

She would not go to the hall at first, but Emperor Shengwu called her and Zhao Wumian in advance, so she came to the hall, stood in a daze, and now that the two were fighting, she subconsciously left.

Zuo Yanhan's kung fu made her feel a little dangerous.

You know, even in the desperate battle with Cong Yun, Shuang Manqiu didn't feel life-threatening.

In the end, Zhao Wumian found out that the two had started fighting, he sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to keep up with the two of them.

Among the four famous arresters, he has the deepest skill, few flaws in his body, and even once touched the [door]. It can be said that he is the most likely master among the four famous arresters.

However, he is different from the other two, Bai Yupan and Shuang Manqiu actually prefer to do it, but he doesn't want to do it at all, and even feels tired enough to sit down and talk.

Just hit--

He originally thought so, but Zuo Yanhan was not timid in the face of the three people's attack, he laughed loudly, the icy aura in his hands surged, and Tianshuang's palms came out, covering the warm palace hall with a layer of frost !

What a powerful cold air.

Emperor Shengwu watched with interest.

Fighting, Zhao Wumian and Bai Yupan both realized a problem - they fought against Zuo Yanhan on two sides, but they couldn't make him move at all!I'm afraid it's not his opponent!

As the four famous arresters, the two were already proud, and they were strong men among the first-class masters. They were very dissatisfied with dealing with an enemy together, so they had no idea of ​​cooperating.But as the battle escalated, they found that their bodies and internal qi were getting slower and slower under the influence of Zuo Yanhan. If they showed arrogance, Zuo Yanhan might divide them and break them down one by one!

As smart people, they immediately changed their original strategy, adjusted their positions, stood on both sides of Shuang Manqiu, and made another shot while Zuo Yanhan made a shot.

Shuang Manqiu didn't understand why, but she wouldn't stop working hard. She pressed against Zuo Yanhan's Tianshuang palm by herself. The body returns to normal again.

but!As a result, Shuang Manqiu, who could fight for a whole day without getting tired, felt tired for a long time!

Suddenly—

A burst of blue light flashed, and then, a strange blue shadow flashed, and it was Eunuch Wei who joined the battle.

"Don't be presumptuous!" He screamed, while attacking Zuo Yanhan's neck from a very strange angle.

"Humph—" Zuo Yanhan was about to punch the eunuch with his fist, but suddenly noticed a golden light.

The golden light was warm and warm, shining on everyone, Zuo Yanhan was taken aback for a moment, then took two steps back, ignored the other four people, and looked at Emperor Shengwu.

Immediately afterwards, after Zuo Yanhan saw him, Emperor Shengwu waved lightly, a golden palm passed by, and suddenly bumped into him.

The golden palm passed through the gap between Shuang Manqiu and Zhao Wumian, but it didn't hurt them at all. Seeing this scene, Zuo Yanhan's eyes widened completely. , The cold force broke out at the same time, and the temperature around him dropped by several minutes.

bang bang bang --

The golden palm came to him, forcing him to retreat again and again, and he almost fell to the ground!

Zhao Wumian almost popped out his eyes on the spot.

He has seen this trick before!

Isn't this the trick used by His Majesty to slap three first-class masters unconscious with his palm on his birthday back then!

He can't even stop it! ?

"Hahaha!" Emperor Shengwu laughed again.

Accompanied by Emperor Shengwu's loud laughter, everyone also stopped moving, and Zuo Yanhan seemed to have thought of something, and also laughed out loud.

With these two people at the beginning, the people in the palace seemed to be infected, and they laughed lightly and loudly slowly, only Shuang Manqiu didn't know why, and didn't laugh at all.

It wasn't until a few snaps of the fingers that the hall calmed down again.

Although everyone didn't know what to laugh about, the atmosphere was warmer anyway.

Eunuch Wei really wanted to say that Zuo Yanhan was rude, but he didn't dare now.

"Mr. Zuo's skill is amazing!"

"I didn't expect that His Majesty is the Grandmaster!" Zuo Yanhan was very excited.

As a martial artist, being able to meet the Grandmaster is naturally exciting.

Emperor Shengwu laughed again, and then said: "After the beginning of spring, I want to restart [Martial Arts], Mr. Zuo is amazing in martial arts, has a strong inner energy, and has a lot of treasures. If you are interested in being the chief examiner of martial arts, come to Japan. ..Let’s set foot on Yingzhou together!?”

Emperor Shengwu valued the heroes of the world.

Zuo Yanhan also became excited after hearing this.

"Stick what you want!!"

"Good! Good!"

There are at most twenty masters at the master level in the whole world. This Zuo Yanhan's skill can already withstand one move of the master. If he calculates carefully, he may have to use more than ten moves to win. For the prosperous and prosperous Jin court, he is also a rare general!

After everything was over, Emperor Shengwu left Zuo Yanhan again and went to his study, ready to talk about details and other things: "By the way, you came from Xuanji Building, right? How did Xun Wu do there?" ?”

Zuo Yanhan recalled it for a while.

Xun Wu left a very good impression on him, but he always had something to say, so he just talked about what Xun Wu was busy with when he left.

Emperor Shengwu was even happier when he heard it.

Not only did he receive a general, but he could also hear news from Xun Wu——I didn’t expect that the situation in Xuanji Building was quite complicated. With so many people struggling, then Xun Wu would have no chance to find anything useful, right?

Hahahaha!
