I Can’t Release Him

The two groups of people faced off.

Li Ming was surrounded by a group of servants and looked at Su Yang calmly, “May I know why the Weapon Master of Spring Wind Street has come to my Li family? Forcefully barging into a private residence is a violation of the laws of Da Xia.”

Su Yang was unmoved. He raised his eyelids, “Why did I come here today? You’re so well-informed, don’t you know? Young Master Li, do you want to come with me or do you want me to invite you?”

“Do you know what you’re doing?” Li Heizi scolded. Don’t think that just because you’re a Weapon Master, no one can cure you.”

Su Yang glanced over. He hated this kind of lackey the most. Li Ming was only in charge of giving orders, and the ones who did it were lackeys like this. They were also sinful.

Su Yang’s mind moved, and a transparent long sword flew out of thin air, hitting Li Heizi’s left face with the sword. Li Heizi screamed on the spot and was knocked to the ground.

“Arrest him.”

Zhang Hu immediately moved when he heard that. He and another person went forward to hold Li Heizi down, and Li Ming waved his hand and signaled for his servants to stop him.

“Those who obstruct the Martial Suppression Division will be punished with the same crime.” Su Yang’s light words made the servants who were about to step forward stop in their tracks. They knew very well what Li Heizi had done. If he was serious…

Zhang Hu and another person had already picked up Li Heizi and pushed him to the back. Li Heizi was already stunned by Su Yang’s sword. Now that he was a little sober, he did not dare to resist. He was afraid that Su Yang would kill him with a sword.

Li Ming was clearly angry, but he was smiling: “Good, very good. Weapon Master, you have good methods. Have you considered the consequences? Did you ask the commander of the Martial Suppression Division to come to arrest someone?”

Su Yang said calmly, “There’s no need for the Weapon Master to ask for instructions to capture the suspect. Besides, I’m doing things according to the rules. It’s useless even if the commander comes. No one can save you today.”

Consequences? If Su Yang had to consider the consequences, he would not have come here today.

Li Ming was so angry that he laughed.” Hahaha, good, very good. I’ll go with you to the Martial Suppression Division’s prison today.”

“If Young Master Li is willing to go, that would be best. Otherwise, carrying the reputation of resisting arrest would only make the charges more severe.” Su Yang said with a smile, but no one found it funny.

Everyone present knew that something big was about to happen. Either they lost the Weapon Master, or the Third Young Master of the Li Family would fall.

But could a Weapon Master like Su Yang fight the Li family? The Li family had been established in Ping Shan City for decades, and their roots were deeply rooted. How could they be easily toppled? Basically, everyone thought that Su Yang was dead.

Su Yang did not care about this and just left with the two of them.

What happened here was quickly passed to the ears of the Li family’s head, Li Yijiang, but he had more considerations: “Ming ‘er has indeed been a little presumptuous recently…However, he is still my son.”

“Someone, prepare a greeting card to be sent to Commander Zhang.”

…

A moment later, Su Yang had already led the team back to the Martial Suppression Division.

“Zhang Hu, send them to the prison.”

“Yes.” Li Ming did not resist. The government was still the government. It represented the face of Da Xia.

Li Ming believed that he would be able to get out soon. After that, it would not be too late to deal with Su Yang.

After everything was settled, Zhang Hu returned to Su Yang’s side again.

“Pass down the message that Li Ming will be publicly judged tomorrow. If there is any grievance, you can come to Spring Wind Hall to complain. As long as it is the truth, I will seek justice for him.”

“Understood!”

At this moment, Zhang Hu was extremely excited and looked at Su Yang differently. He never expected that one day he would witness Li Ming being imprisoned, let alone see him standing trial. He secretly decided in his heart that if the Li family put pressure on Su Yang in the future, he would lighten Su Yang’s burden. He would use his own method to make Li Ming pay for his mistakes.

In the past, Li Ming had Rank-8 martial artists guarding him, and now was his chance…

While he was thinking, Zhang Hu left and followed Su Yang’s instructions.

Su Yang looked at Zhang Hu thoughtfully. After comprehending sword intent, he had become sensitive to the changes in people’s emotions.

…

Soon, a piece of news that made the entire city excited spread: Su Yang will publicly try Li Ming tomorrow. Anyone who had been bullied by Li Ming could go to Spring Breeze Hall to seek justice. As long as it was true, the Weapon Master of Spring Wind Street would support them!

The reaction of the people was very real. The people who had been bullied by Li Ming all clapped and cheered, saying that a just and righteous figure had finally emerged.

However, the smarter ones were not so optimistic. Even if Su Yang was really a good official and was willing to stand up for commoners like them, the Li family was not that easy to offend. It was still unknown whether the matter would succeed in the end. Even Su Yang himself might be in trouble…

Su Yang did not care about the outside world. At this moment, he had already returned to his courtyard and started practicing his sword again.

As long as his sword was strong enough, no matter how fierce the storm was, he would still shatter it with a single sword strike.

…

In the Martial Suppression Division, at the Commandant’s Office, Zhang Zhiwu slammed his palm on the table and said angrily,” What did you say? Who allowed him to do this?”

At this moment, he also knew what Su Yang had done. A public trial of Li Ming? If they were really going to do that, there would be no room for reconciliation.

Fortunately, it hadn’t happened yet. It was still not too late. Otherwise, he would be slapping himself in the face if he failed to save Li Ming after he promised Li Yijiang.

Moreover… Why didn’t this hothead ask around? Could the Li family be easily offended? If the Li family only had these properties and strength on the surface of the city, they would have long since raided the Li family.

However, the Li family’s Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master were both quite talented in cultivation. One followed a cultivator of the Sixth grade, while the other followed a martial artist of the Sixth grade. In the future, they would not say that the student surpassed the master, but their master was not someone they could offend. As long as the Li family did not go too far, they would choose to turn a blind eye.

The world belonged to the Da Xia Dynasty, but their lives belonged to them. Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhiwu quickly left his residence.

…

“Sir, Commander Zhang is here. He’s in the guest hall.” Zhang Qing carefully came to Su Yang’s side. Now, he could not see through what Su Yang wanted to do, but self-preservation was his choice.

“Okay, I’ll go over now.” Su Yang put away his sword and went to the living room.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwu was sitting in the main seat. Su Yang didn’t mind. He casually found a seat and sat down.”May I know why Commander has come?”

Zhang Zhiwu knocked his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice: “I won’t beat around the bush with you. Who told you to capture Li Ming? We can’t afford to offend him. If we let him go now, there’s still room for reconciliation.”

Su Yang calmly replied, “I can’t release him. I arrested him based on the laws of Da Xia. If he is found innocent after the trial, I will naturally release him. But if he is found guilty, he will face the consequences.”

Zhang Zhiwu became furious, his seventh-grade martial practitioner cultivation erupted, and his qi and blood surged toward Su Yang: “Release him! This is an order, not something to be negotiated with you.”

Su Yang remained seated, unaffected by the display of power.

When he raised his head, a sword intent soared into the sky and wrapped around Zhang Zhiwu, making Zhang Zhiwu feel like a sword was pressed against his head, risking his life at any moment. The anger in his heart dissipated in an instant.

“I’m saying that I can’t release him.”
