Chapter 812 You don’t follow martial ethics
"I have clearly received the Emperor's imperial decree to come to Lin'an Prefecture to assist the Imperial Envoy, Lord Jiang, in thoroughly investigating the case of the Salt Inspector Xu Zhanrong.
You are indiscriminate. As soon as I stepped into Jiangling, you ordered people to tie me up and refused to listen to my explanation. "
Tao Chendong was furious. This man was simply doing whatever he wanted.
"Even if you are the transport commissioner, you cannot arrest me without reason. Who gave you the power?
Besides, if you didn't send someone to keep an eye on me, how would you know that I had already arrived in Jiangling? I didn't take out my official certificate when I entered the city. Isn't it because you have ulterior motives?"
Lu Shengyuan snorted coldly, "Humph, you were the co-director of the salt transport envoy before, so how could the soldiers guarding the city not know you? So as soon as you arrived in Jiangling, the guards sent someone to report to me, otherwise how would I know you were in Jiangling?"
As he spoke, he looked towards Jiang Youzhen's cell, only to find that he was still leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. They had talked so much, but Jiang Youzhen hadn't opened his eyes.
He gave a look to someone behind him, and that person walked to the cell and shouted at Jiang Youzhen twice.
"You said that you were sent by the Emperor himself to assist Lord Jiang. Do you have a handwritten order or imperial decree from the Emperor?"
When talking about this matter, Tao Chendong became even more angry.
"The imperial edict was on me at the time, and they took it away when they arrested me."
"Oh? How could they search for your handwritten letter? Don't you have it and want to use this as an excuse? After all, your visit to Jiangling was against the law, and Liao Tongzhi is your good friend. Are you here to meet him privately?"
Tao Chendong sneered, "You deliberately took away the evidence from me in order to pin the blame on me, right? But don't forget, once the emperor hears about it, you will be abusing your power and harming your colleagues."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Youzhen who was standing opposite him, "Master Jiang, don't sleep anymore. They have come to bully us."
However, Jiang Youzhen still kept his eyes closed and did not move.
It was then that everyone realized something was wrong. What was going on?
Lu Shengyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at a plain-looking man behind him. The man nodded and stepped forward to signal the prison boss to open the padlock.
He put his hands on his waist and walked into the cell carefully. He watched Jiang Youzhen's every move and slowly approached, but Jiang Youzhen seemed to be really asleep and didn't notice anything.
Even Tao Chendong was panicking at this moment. What was going on? Could it be that Lord Jiang was not asleep, but unconscious?
That's right! How could he sleep in such an emergency? He must be in a coma.
The man gradually approached, but suddenly stopped, and then pointed at the prison boss, "Go over and take a look."
The jailer was stunned, and then he looked at Lu Shengyuan. Seeing that Lu Shengyuan did not say anything to stop him, he could only walk over reluctantly.
However, at this moment, something strange happened.
A figure suddenly appeared, quickly snatched the knife from the prison boss's hand, and attacked towards Lu Shengyuan.
"Master Lu, be careful." The jailers exclaimed.
"Quick! Quickly protect Lord Lu."
The jailer was stunned by this sudden change. Before he could react, the knife in his hand had already fallen into someone else's hands.
When he looked carefully, he found that the person who had snatched the knife from him was Jiang Youzhen. He was immediately scared, fortunately Jiang Youzhen did not kidnap him just now.
At this time, Jiang Youzhen had a knife at Lu Shengyuan's neck, and he quickly pretended to be calm.
"Don't be impulsive. Impersonating an official is punishable by exile at best. But holding an official hostage and defying the court is punishable by death as a warning to others. Think carefully and don't act impulsively."
"Lord Lu, the actors on the stage are not as good as you. Let's be frank and return the gold medal and the imperial edict you have taken away."
Jiang Youzhen sneered. He thought that Lu Shengyuan would not show up in person, but he actually came.
If this is the case, then there must be someone backing him up, but I don't know who it is.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Where did the imperial edict and the gold medal come from?" Lu Shengyuan looked surprised.
"Then it depends on whether your neck is harder or the knife in my hand is harder."
As Jiang Youzhen spoke, he pushed the blade in his hand towards the opponent's neck, and blood immediately flowed out from the thin blade.
"Don't be impulsive. Attempting to murder an imperial official is a capital crime." The plain-looking man opposite immediately dissuaded him.
"Who are you?" Jiang Youzhen looked at him.
Jiang Youzhen didn't detect any nervousness from the man's body movements or eyes.
"I am Lord Lu's follower. Please release Lord Lu first. There may be other misunderstandings. Let's talk about it slowly and clear it up."
"You are a follower, but you speak and act as if you are giving orders, as if Lord Lu is your follower."
After Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, the other party's face changed.
Suddenly there was a buzzing sound and everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from.
The attendant pulled out a soft sword from his waist, grabbed the jailer nearby, and threw it towards Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen raised his foot and kicked the jailer, sending him flying backwards and hitting the wooden railing, then he fell to the ground and fainted.
The follower was surprised by Jiang Youzhen's decisiveness and quick reaction. After a moment of shock, he attacked Jiang Youzhen with his soft sword.
Jiang Youzhen pushed Lu Shengyuan aside and rushed forward with a knife in hand. The two of them quickly fought in the small cell, at a very fast speed, with endless moves, and a round of fighting lasted only a few breaths.
The two sides were fighting each other, and Jiang Youzhen took the opportunity to throw a dart at the other party, but the other party reacted quickly and dodged it immediately.
However, just as he stood firm, he felt a fierce palm wind coming at him and was immediately hit on the chest.
He quickly mobilized all his strength to resist, but still took several steps back and bumped into the wooden railing.
The blood in his chest was boiling, and he suppressed the rusty taste that rushed up his throat.
"You...you are so strong?"
Jiang Youzhen was also very surprised. Previously, she thought that she had accumulated nearly 20 years of skills. Although she was not invincible, she rarely met an opponent.
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving Beijing, she discovered that there were so many masters in the martial arts world. Even the assassins were masters, and when they attacked in groups, it was not easy for her to deal with them.
The ghost ranked first in the ghost market had such a strange skill and was so elusive that he had to rely on the soft muscle powder to catch him. She was thinking at the time that if the two of them fought, it would really cost a lot to take down the other party.
The person in front of her did not have any strange body movements, but his internal strength was strong enough and his moves were agile, which showed that his skills were not inferior to hers at all.
If she hadn't had an idea just now and used the dart she had obtained earlier to launch a sneak attack, the two of them would have fought him for four or five rounds without a clear winner.
But even so, the other party only took a few steps back after being hit hard by her palm.
"You have no moral principles and even use hidden weapons." The man was a little angry.
"I'm not competing with you. This is a life-and-death battle. Who would be polite to you?"
Jiang Youzhen was speechless, then raised his knife and moved forward again.
