Reborn in the Great Yan Dynasty: I Cultivated to Become a Martial Saint Through Telekinesis

Chapter 15 Golden Seal

"Boss, it's the one up ahead."

Protector Liu pointed to an old courtyard not far away.

"The courtyard is quite nice; no wonder they can afford to support the three Mo brothers. Go knock on the door," Han Xiao instructed.

"Yes, Boss!"

Protector Liu waved his hand, and immediately two gang members in black walked towards the gate and pounded on it forcefully.

"Don't fight, get out here!"

"Open the door!"

The two men were shouting gruffly, clearly there to cause trouble.

Seeing the Black Sand Gang's large group arrive in a menacing manner, clearly there to cause trouble, the other residents in the alley were terrified and locked their doors. Those with strong curiosity cautiously peeked through the cracks in their doors, while the timid ones hid inside their rooms, not daring to even look.

The Black Sand Gang has a bad reputation; they often oppress the people, and even commit murder and robbery.

Only a few neighbors who were usually close to Wang Yumei rushed to the restaurant, wanting to find Mo Danian to come back.

"Who is it? Who's looking for Xiao Zheng?"

Wang Yumei's clear voice came from behind the door.

Upon hearing this, Protector Liu shouted, "We are from the Black Sand Gang! The Black Sand Gang leader is here! Open the door immediately!"

Upon hearing this name, Wang Yumei, whose hand was on the door bolt, felt a jolt in her heart. She peeked through the crack in the door and saw a dark mass of men outside, armed with weapons. They were clearly not good people and had come to cause trouble. She was terrified.

He hurriedly took two steps back and used a broom and shovel to block the door.

Wang Yumei called out, "Xiao Zheng isn't home. It's inconvenient for a woman like me to receive guests. Please come another day."

The Black Sand Gang is a criminal gang; what good could come of it if they come knocking on our door?

"We still have to go inside and wait!" Protector Liu shouted.

However, there was no movement inside.

Seeing this, he looked at Han Xiao.

"Break down the door!"

Han Xiao coldly uttered two words.

Upon hearing this, the two gang members who had been knocking on the door did not hesitate any longer. They took two steps back and then suddenly rushed forward, their bodies crashing directly into the door!

Bang bang bang!

After several impacts, the bolt on the door snapped, and the door swung open with a bang!

"Master, please." Protector Liu said, bowing.

Han Xiao nodded slightly and swaggered toward the gate.

"What are you doing!"

Just then, a loud shout came from afar.

The crowd looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a young man in a constable's uniform walking towards them on the street not far away.

The young man had delicate features, red lips and white teeth, and a long sword hanging at his waist; he certainly had a good appearance.

"Master, he is Mo Zheng!" Protector Liu whispered.

"Is he Mo Zheng?"

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, a hint of amusement flashing in them, and said, "He's even better looking than the rabbit figurines at Yichun Tower."

Upon hearing this, Protector Liu's heart stirred. His gang leader not only had a fondness for women, but also for men.

Looking at the men all dressed in black, especially the two lying on the stretcher, Mo Zheng already knew where they came from.

Are the Black Sand Gang here seeking revenge?

He strode forward without the slightest fear, facing this large group of fierce-looking gang members with an air of calm and composure.

This is the aura he developed from killing martial artists who had entered the realm and facing demonic beasts.

So what if it's the Black Sand Gang? Are they any more difficult to deal with than Yu Yang?

In fact, Mo Zheng felt a sense of relief; it had finally arrived.

He had been resting at home for the past two days, somewhat anticipating the Black Sand Gang's subsequent retaliation, but he hadn't expected them to arrive so slowly.

"Breaking into a private residence in broad daylight, how dare you!"

Mo Zheng stood in front of the Black Sand Gang members and shouted loudly, his eyes filled with coldness.

Seeing this, Han Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "You must be Mo Zheng, right? Not bad, quite the guts!"

He originally thought that a mere constable, not very old, would be scared half to death seeing so many of them here. But who knew that this little rabbit named Mo Zheng was not only not afraid, but also took the initiative to speak. He didn't know where he got such courage!

"Boy, stop shouting. Let me let you know that this is Han Xiao, the leader of the Black Sand Gang. Why don't you step forward and pay your respects?" Protector Liu shouted.

Is it Han Xiao, the leader of the Han gang?

Mo Zheng looked at the tall, burly man, who resembled an iron tower. He had a thick beard, rugged features, and large knuckles on his hands, clearly indicating that he practiced hand techniques.

"You brat, are you fucking stupid? Can't you talk straight?!"

When one of the gang members saw that Mo Zheng didn't respond but instead stared at Han Xiao, he immediately started cursing and threw a punch at Mo Zheng's face, clearly wanting to make a name for himself in front of the gang leader.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong person.

boom!

Before everyone's eyes, one of the gang members was sent flying backward, clutching his stomach and groaning in pain, unable to get up at all.

This silenced the restless gang members, who now looked on with fear.

Mo Zheng withdrew his fist, looked at Han Xiao, and said in a deep voice, "According to the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty, anyone who trespasses on a private residence shall be imprisoned for three months and flogged twenty times. Chief Han, do you all want to go to jail?"

"You little clerk, you really have quite the big mouth."

Han Xiao laughed. He hadn't seen such a bold young constable in a long time. Anyone who dared to act tough in front of him never ended up well.

Given his status, Mo Zheng was not worthy to speak to him.

He looked at Protector Liu.

Liu, the Protector, understood and said, "You, surnamed Mo, don't think that just because you're a constable you can arbitrarily punish people. Today we've come to seek justice. You injured two of our men without cause. If they hadn't received timely treatment, they would likely be dead. You must pay for their medical expenses today!"

The Black Sand Gang members clamored, "That's right, they have to pay!"

"A constable assaulted someone, is there no law?!"

"Pay up! Pay up!"

……

Mo Zheng sneered. These Black Sand Gang members weren't all simple-minded. They wanted to muddy the waters. In the end, everyone would have their own version of the truth. How could they be judged? It would all come down to who had the bigger fist.

"Kid, don't say you weren't given a chance."

Amidst the commotion, Protector Liu quickly walked up to Mo Zheng and whispered, "If you don't want to get involved with your family's restaurant, that's fine too. My boss is merciful. You just need to go to his room every night, serve him tea and water, help him bathe and change clothes, and warm his bed. If you do this for a month, this matter can be wiped clean."

What does that mean?

Mo Zheng, who was pondering whether to take direct action to capture Han Xiao, was stunned upon hearing this.

What was he supposed to do, a man, go to Han Xiao's room at night to serve tea and water, bathe and change clothes, and warm the bed for him?!

He subconsciously looked at Han Xiao, only to see that the bearded man nodded slightly at him, revealing a hint of 'ambiguous' smile.

She's clearly after his butt!

Mo Zheng suddenly shivered, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit on the spot.

"Um?"

Han Xiao waved his hand, and the noisy gang members immediately quieted down.

Protector Liu threatened with a smile, "Well, have you thought it through? If you follow the gang leader, you'll live a life of luxury, and being promoted to squad leader isn't out of the question. Otherwise, I'll make sure your family is ruined today!"

His answer was a sword.

A flash of cold light, silent and stealthy, spread an astonishing killing intent; all the onlookers saw was as if lightning had streaked across their vision.

puff!

As blood splattered everywhere, Protector Liu let out a miserable scream as one of his arms was severed.

He stared at Mo Zheng in disbelief, then a sharp pain surged through him. Clutching his severed arm, he began to scream wildly.

The Black Sand Gang members were shocked, and Han Xiao was also shocked.

Seeing Protector Liu struggling and bleeding profusely from his severed arm, some of the gang members even showed fear in their eyes.

The young constable in front of me looks refined and handsome, but he's actually a ruthless character who draws his sword at the slightest provocation.

"What superb swordsmanship!"

Han Xiao praised him, a smile on his face, but his eyes were icy cold.

Those who know him well know that he is truly enraged.

He took out two menacing brass knuckles covered in sharp spikes from his waist, slowly put them on his fists, and said menacingly, "You first injured two of my gang members, and then cut off Protector Liu's arm. Today, even if I kill you, Constable He will have nothing to say."

"Attack together!"

At his command, all the Black Tiger Gang members immediately drew their swords, and the entire entrance became tense and tense.

Mo Zheng pointed his longsword diagonally, his expression cold and stern, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

At this moment, beyond the sword, there is no need for further words.

The Black Sand Gang is powerful, but if they are all wiped out, will anyone stand up for them?

However, just as the two sides were about to fight, a voice suddenly came from afar:

"Oh? To kill a government constable in broad daylight? I think Constable He has something to say."

"Who the hell dared to meddle in my business? I'll rip your tongue out... huh?"

Han Xiao was furious, and when he heard someone dare to speak up, he immediately cursed loudly. However, when he saw who it was, his expression changed drastically, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

Not only him, but the other men of the Black Sand Gang, who were used to being ruthless, were all startled when they saw who it was. They didn't know whether to put away their weapons or not, so they could only look at each other with fear and confusion in their eyes.

It wasn't just one person who came; it was a group of people.

They were all wearing official robes.

Han Xiao recognized almost all of them: the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, the clerk, the head constable, and so on. Almost all the officials of rank in Shangyin County were among the group of people in front of him.

The leader was an unfamiliar young man, who looked to be in his twenties or thirties. Even the county magistrate was following behind him, indicating that he was of extraordinary status.

As this group strolled in leisurely, the entire alley fell into a deathly silence. Whether it was the Black Sand Gang members, the neighbors hiding behind their doors to peek, or even the idle thugs who came to watch because of the commotion, at this moment, everyone showed fear on their faces.

Every official standing here can wield immense power in Shangyin County. Ordinary people can't even get a glimpse of them. Any one of them can cause the Black Sand Gang unbearable pain. Today, they've all gathered here!

"My God, so many high-ranking officials! Are they trying to wipe out the Black Sand Gang?"

Those hooligans and idlers clicked their tongues in disbelief, their hearts filled with fear.

Otherwise, with so many high-ranking officials suddenly appearing in front of the Wang family's courtyard, there's nothing or no one worth their attention, except for the Black Sand Gang.

In this oppressive atmosphere, the group of officials led the constables to the Black Sand Gang members.

The young man in the lead looked at Han Xiao with amusement and said, "What, Officer He, are you really speechless?"

"Lord Zhou is joking."

Standing at the back, Constable He said with a cautious smile, "With Lord Zhou and all the other officials in the county here, it's not my place to speak."

Han Xiao was filled with doubt and unease. With so many officials from the county gathered together to wipe out his Black Sand Gang, it seemed a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Could it be that this young man from the Mo family has a powerful backer?

That shouldn't be the case. Protector Liu is meticulous in his work. If this kid had such a powerful background, would his brother have needed to marry into the family? Would he have needed to be a lowly constable?

Thinking of this, he put on a smiling face and said, "My lords, I was just speaking rudely and was momentarily impolite. I hope you will not take offense."

The young man standing at the head of the group snorted coldly and didn't even glance at him.

"You audacious scoundrel!"

Upon hearing this cold snort, Magistrate Fang Daquan's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly shouted, "In broad daylight, how dare you trespass into a private residence and attack imperial officials? Are you trying to rebel?"

"Arrest them all!"

The group of constables behind him immediately responded, quickly stepped forward, drew their swords, and surrounded the Black Sand Gang members.

rebel!

Upon hearing this word, the members of the Black Sand Gang were terrified. According to the laws of Great Yan, rebellion could implicate the entire family and result in their execution!

Even Han Xiao was sweating profusely. Was this Magistrate Fang going to wipe out the entire Black Sand Gang?

The saying goes, "A prefect can wipe out an entire family, and a magistrate can ruin a household." Han Xiao still had some confidence in front of Constable He, but in front of Magistrate Fang, he didn't dare to even breathe loudly. This was not only because the other party was a local tyrant in Shangyin County, but also because of the strength of the other party's martial arts. Even among martial artists who had entered the region, he could be considered an absolute powerhouse.

Before the rise of the Black Sand Gang, there was a force called the Purple Robe Gang that ran rampant. It was because they offended Magistrate Fang that they were wiped out. None of the gang's leaders above the rank of incense master survived.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the government was the most powerful force!

Thinking of this, he swallowed hard in fear and said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, it's a misunderstanding...it's all a misunderstanding, please listen to me."

Nobody listened to him.

The young man in the lead glanced at them, saw that Han Xiao had a fine layer of sweat on his head in the dead of winter and looked terrified, chuckled, and then looked at Mo Zheng.

He smiled and said, "Young Constable Mo, I've long admired your name. Meeting you today, I can confirm that you are indeed a young hero with outstanding courage and resourcefulness."

Mo Zheng didn't recognize this person and didn't know how to address him for a moment.

Seeing his foolish disciple's expression in the crowd, Zhao Feng couldn't help but remind him, "Silly child, this Lord Zhou Xian is the Golden Seal Constable of the Six Doors. He came here specifically to find you. Why don't you pay your respects?"

The Six Doors had three types of constables: those with gold seals, those with silver seals, and those with bronze seals. The bronze seal was of the seventh rank, the silver seal was of the sixth rank, and the gold seal was of the fifth rank. Moreover, when handling cases, they had the privilege of meeting officials three ranks higher than them.

The magistrate of Shangyin County was only a seventh-rank official, but a fifth-rank official with a gold seal as a constable had arrived. No wonder all the officials in Shangyin County were scrambling to get his attention.

But why did he come looking for me?

Mo Zheng was puzzled, but he stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "This humble servant, Mo Zheng, greets Lord Zhou."
