Chapter 376 I Am the Law
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips.
So, the Su family had found his "weakness."
In that case, he would grant the Su family their wish!
"Your Majesty, should we monitor these women at all times?" the guard asked.
"No need."
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"No need to be wary of these women."
"Wouldn't it be too boring if we didn't give them a little hope?"
The guard couldn't help but mourn for the Su family in his heart.
Even the Mei family, who had controlled the court for many years, had been eradicated by His Majesty in one fell swoop, let alone the Su family?
They were truly overestimating themselves!
"Where are they staying?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Your Majesty, they are settled in a residence in the east of the city."
Jiang Chen stood up, "In that case, let's go take a look."
The guard was startled and quickly advised, "Your Majesty, what if there are more assassins..."
"Don't worry."
Jiang Chen interrupted the guard, "Since the Su family wants to use a beauty trap, they naturally won't create unnecessary complications along the way."
"Even if they want to make a move, it will be the beauties who do it," Jiang Chen sneered.
"Let's go see what kind of show these people are going to put on!"
The guard understood and followed Jiang Chen out of the government office.
Jiang Chen didn't go directly to the east of the city, but instead wandered around casually before leisurely arriving there.
The east of the city was where the wealthy and influential people of Xizhou resided, and many mansions were located there.
Following the direction pointed out by the guard, Jiang Chen glanced at the location where the women were staying, a house with a two-story building.
"It seems the Su family is really willing to spend money!"
Jiang Chen didn't head straight for his destination, but instead changed direction, "Let's go to the Zhou family first."
The intercepted secret letter was from the Zhou family to the Su family.
Presumably, the Zhou family didn't know yet!
Arriving at the Zhou family's gate, the guard's eyes flashed with shock when he saw the pair of stone lions in front of the gate.
"Your Majesty, the Zhou family is extremely audacious! These stone lions are only allowed to be built in the residences of fifth-rank officials!"
Jiang Chen sneered, "So-called the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, moreover, in this Jiangnan area, they only follow the Su family's lead, so naturally they don't care about these things."
"After we deal with the Su family, we'll slowly clean up these people!"
Seeing that Jiang Chen already had a plan, the guard said, "This subordinate will go forward and knock on the door."
"Knock on what door?"
Jiang Chen snorted and went directly to the gate, raising his foot to kick it.
Bang!
The closed gate was kicked open directly.
The guard following behind him opened his mouth in surprise.
When did His Majesty's skills become so formidable?
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with his kick.
After cultivating the Qiankun Daoyin Technique, his martial prowess was no longer below anyone.
Such a loud noise naturally attracted the attention of the Zhou family.
A man around fifty years old walked over quickly, and when he saw the broken gate and Jiang Chen standing there unceremoniously, he was immediately furious.
"Who dares to barge into the Zhou residence?!"
Jiang Chen was too lazy to waste words with this person and said lazily, "Call someone who's in charge here."
"You insolent thing!"
The man cursed angrily. He was the steward arranged by the Su family in the Zhou family. Who in the entire Xizhou wouldn't give him some face?
These two dared to look down on him; they were really courting death!
"Someone!"
With the man's shout, a dozen servants quickly gathered around.
"Beat these two audacious bastards to death for me!"
The servants were used to showing off their power and bullying the weak. Seeing the disparity in numbers, they immediately grinned and stepped forward, eager to enjoy the thrill of beating someone.
"Courting death!"
Before the servants could make a move, the guard roared angrily and charged in like a wolf among sheep, knocking all the servants to the ground in a few moves.
"What?!"
The steward's eyes widened in shock.
He never expected that a dozen people could be knocked down by one person in a few breaths.
Looking at Jiang Chen and the guard again, he suddenly realized something.
"You... you're the one who killed Su Mingtao!" the steward said in horror.
Jiang Chen chuckled, "Good eyesight."
After speaking, Jiang Chen turned his head to look at the guard.
"He just spoke disrespectfully; slap him."
"Yes!"
The guard strode forward and picked up the steward, who was too frightened to move, with one hand.
Slap, slap, slap!
After a burst of smacks, the steward's mouth was full of blood, and several of his teeth had fallen out.
The steward was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
It was true that he was arranged by the Su family in the Zhou family, but in terms of status, he was not even as good as Su Mingtao in the Su family.
The other party dared to kill Su Mingtao unscrupulously, let alone him?
At this time, a few more people came from the direction of the backyard. Jiang Chen looked at their clothes and knew that the main character had arrived.
The Zhou family head had just arrived at the front yard when he saw the servants lying on the ground groaning, and the steward was beaten with blood all over his mouth, which shocked him.
"Who dares to be presumptuous in my Zhou family?!"
The Zhou family head shouted angrily.
"Master, he is the one who killed Su Mingtao," the steward said indistinctly.
"What?!"
The Zhou family head was shocked, and the anger on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a forced smile as he cupped his fist at Jiang Chen.
"So, it's you, sir, who has graced us with your presence. This humble one, Zhou Mang, has failed to welcome you properly."
Jiang Chen ignored him and asked indifferently, "Are you the head of the Zhou family?"
Zhou Mang's face stiffened slightly. Jiang Chen's aura of superiority made him very uncomfortable.
However, thinking that even Su Mingtao had died at Jiang Chen's hands, Zhou Mang had no choice but to suppress his anger and said, "Yes, this humble one is indeed the head of the Zhou family."
After speaking, Zhou Mang's brain was spinning rapidly, pondering Jiang Chen's purpose in coming to the Zhou family.
Jiang Chen took out the intercepted letter and said, "You wrote this letter, right?"
When he saw the letter, Zhou Mang was shocked.
"This... this..."
"Yes, or no?" Jiang Chen asked coldly.
Zhou Mang was so frightened that he shivered.
Since the other party had come to his door, he must have already grasped everything.
Zhou Mang could only admit, "Yes... I wrote it."
"It's good that you admit it."
Jiang Chen threw the letter in front of Zhou Mang and turned to look at the guard.
"Go and summon people over; arrest everyone in the Zhou family, from top to bottom."
Zhou Mang was shocked and then shouted angrily, "On what basis?"
"I only told the Su family what happened that day. What law have I broken? The Da Wei law does not have such a clause!"
"On what basis?"
Jiang Chen sneered.
"I suspect you are related to the things Su Mingtao did, is that okay?"
Zhou Mang's heart jumped, and he forced himself to remain calm, "Where is the evidence? Without evidence, you still can't arrest me!"
"Hehe."
Jiang Chen chuckled, "The evidence is in my heart."
This rogue-like reason made the muscles on Zhou Mang's face twitch.
"You... you are disregarding the law!"
"The law? Hahahaha..."
Jiang Chen laughed even more happily.
"Sorry, I am the law."
