Chapter 569: Pleading for mercy with Jin Lier (2)
This person is the one that Chu Xiaomu traveled thousands of miles from Bicheng to Jinyang City to get rid of. He is Chang Lun, the murderer of Huai Xiaomeng!
Chu Xiaomu suddenly stood up from the stool, staring at him fiercely, his teeth chattering.
Chang Lun also noticed Chu Xiaomu's abnormality, but he didn't understand why he was staring at him with such an ugly look, so he bowed to him and said, "Chang Lun greets Lin Jinwei. I was not feeling well recently, so I was not able to congratulate Lin Jinwei in person. I am really sorry. I will treat Lin Jinwei to a glass of wine another day, and I hope you will honor me."
Chu Xiaomu thought that he couldn't kill Chang Lun in front of so many people, otherwise there would be endless troubles. He had to find a place where no one was around to do it. So he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Don't drink. I heard that Master Chang is a martial arts master from Bicheng. I have to find an opportunity to learn from you."
Chang Lun thought to himself, how can this Lin be so unreasonable? He actually challenged me to a fight in front of so many people. It's really unreasonable! But I think your Force martial arts are just so-so. Am I afraid of you? So he said, "Okay, okay, but it won't work today. Let's go see the young lady first." After that, he led everyone to Jin Li'er's office.
The Jing'an Hall is located in the southwest suburbs of Jinyang City, but the area it occupies is quite large. It is divided into categories according to accounting, signing, contracts, hosting, and co-organizing. There are actually more than a dozen buildings of various sizes and one or two hundred rooms.
It took Chang Lun and the other four only half a cup of tea to reach the main room where Jin Lier was.
After one of Jin Li'er's personal attendants went in to report and give a report, Chang Lun led the four people in.
The main room was divided into several large compartments, separated by walls or curtains. Jin Li'er was in the innermost room.
When Jin Li'er saw everyone coming in, she closed the file in her hand, told the servants to bring four chairs, and said, "Please sit down." Chang Lun was Jin Li'er's bodyguard, so he stood back beside Jin Li'er.
Jin Li'er didn't bother to be polite with the crowd and went straight to the point, "Are you here because of You Ganzhan's matter?" Then she glanced at the four people's faces without showing any expression. No one knew what she was planning in her mind.
Huangwu Baoguan said: "Since my lady already knows why we are here, I would like to ask you to forgive our rudeness." After saying that, he bowed.
Jin Lier said: "It's human nature for you to speak for your elder brother, and it's not rude."
Zhao Xiantong said hurriedly: "My lady, You Ganzhan is the silver lieutenant of my Purple Feather Army. As the gold lieutenant, I failed to discipline my subordinates, so I come here to apologize." He did not say that he came to beg for mercy, but rather that he came to apologize. Even if Jin Lier had a bad temper, she could not vent it on him.
Jin Lier said, "I sent You Ganzhan to participate in the last competition to select lieutenants. His surrender without a fight was also against my order. It has nothing to do with you, Zhao Jinwei."
Zhao Xiantong bowed and said, "Thank you, my lord!"
Seeing that Zhao Xiantong did not ask Jin Lier to let You Ganzhan go, Gong Shukang could not help but glare at him fiercely, then stood up and said loudly, "My lord, I, Gong Shukang, and You Ganzhan are neither brothers nor subordinates, but I respect him as a person and would like to ask for a favor. Please let him go!"
Jin Lier said calmly: "Do you admire his character?"
Gong Shukang said: "Yes, You is a brave man who dares to fight and do anything. He must have his reasons for disobeying the young master's order in front of so many people. Besides...besides, he is also a member of our Yunying Palace..."
Jin Lier snorted and said, "It is because he is from my Yunying Palace that I will punish him according to the laws of Jinyang City!"
Gong Shukang asked: "Why is this?"
Jin Lier said: "If the dozens of heroes in Yunying Palace were like You Ganzhan and didn't even listen to me, what would happen?" She didn't speak very loudly, but she had a majesty that made it difficult to refute.
Gong Shukang gurgled twice in his throat, swallowed back what he wanted to say, and obediently retreated to his chair and sat down.
Jin Lier looked at Chu Xiaomu and asked, "Lin Jinwei, why are you speaking for You Ganzhan?"
Chu Xiaomu's attention has always been focused on Chang Lun, thinking about how to escape with Jinglan and Xiaoying after killing him. Although Chenghuang and Longban are unparalleled in their speed, they will not be able to escape once Jinyang City closes its gates, and there might be a big battle at that time.
Although he was not afraid of fighting, the Red Soldiers were rampant now. He had just said a few days ago that all cities should unite their forces to deal with the Red Soldiers together, but now they came to kill the officers and soldiers of Jinyang City. This was not a human way.
No matter what, he could not and would never be the Golden Guard again.
When he heard Jin Li'er's question, he said without thinking: "My lord, I am here to resign from the position of Jin Wei. Please choose someone else who is virtuous and capable."
