Peerless Taoist

All the elders of the Zheng Family stood up and revealed nervous expressions. They never would have thought that the people from the Board of Justice would arrive so quickly.    

"Family Head, elders, this person injured the guards of the family. We were unable to stop him in time. Please forgive us!"    

The old butler hurriedly rushed over and knelt down to apologize.    

The rules of the Zheng Family were extremely strict. The old steward was ordered to lead a group of guards to guard outside the door, but now Xue Chou had broken in. This was a serious mistake.    

Zheng Yunhe waved his hand and said, "Zheng Feibai, you can take him away. I have already kicked him out of the Zheng Family. No matter what he did in the past, it has nothing to do with the Zheng Family."    

"Family Head!" Zheng Feibai wailed.    

Zheng Feibai knew very well that he had been completely abandoned by the Zheng Family.    

"Hehe, this is not up to you, Family Head. This person is involved in many cases, and I'm afraid there are a lot of connections behind him."    

Ye Chou looked around and sneered, "If the investigation turns out that there are members of the Zheng Family who are also involved in Zheng Feibai's case, I hope that Family Head Zheng can cooperate."    

"In addition, for the time being, the people of the Zheng Family should not leave Xianyang. The Board of Justice will send people to keep an eye on everyone from the Zheng Family. It won't be good if there's a misunderstanding."    

Hearing this, the expressions of all the experts present changed.    

Rather than saying that this was a warning, it was more like a threat.    

"What do you mean?" Zheng Yunhe said in a deep voice.    

This famous Wealthy Class Family Head was currently sitting on an armchair, playing with a walnut in his hand. His face was gloomy.    

Ye Chou said, "Your Zheng Family has been involved in many cases. The Ministry of Justice has already found a lot of clues, and all of them are related to your Zheng Family. In order to prevent your Zheng Family from escaping, this plan was made. But don't worry, the speed of our investigation is very fast. We won't let the Zheng Family be trapped for too long. "    

Bam!    

At this moment, an elder of the Zheng Family could not take it anymore and slammed his hand on the table. "You're just a manager of the Board of Punishments, a small official. How can you talk to the Marquis like that?"    

Zheng Yunhe was a Marquis of Great Qin. Although he was far away from the Imperial Court, his title was still there.    

Now, a minor official like Ye Chou dared to speak so arrogantly in front of them?    

These nobles who lived in comfort naturally couldn't bear it.    

"Oh? If Family Head Zheng has any complaints, he can complain to our Minister of Law at will. I am just a small figure. I am afraid I cannot bear the anger of the Marquis." Ye Chou's expression did not change at all.    

Hearing this, all the elders present immediately lowered their heads.    

Minister of Law, Li Si!    

He was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet!    

In the old days of Great Yu, the Ministry of Personnel was the head of the six ministries. Since Li Si took over, the Ministry of Justice became the most powerful of the six ministries.    

The officers of the Bureau of Punishments usually handled cases, but they could arrest anyone, from commoners to officials.    

"Alright! Zheng Feibai, you take him away. The Zheng family will not interfere in this matter and will listen to the orders of the Imperial Court!"    

Zheng Yunhe suddenly waved his hand and interrupted everyone.    

"Lord Marquis truly is a person who understands the times."    

Ye Qiu smiled. With a wave of his sleeve, he grabbed Zheng Feibai and put him into his sleeve.
