My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate! Chapter 157 - 72: Is He Really That Useless?

Alas!

Having not received approval, Yun Wanye sighed in resignation, abandoning the thought of ending Su Jian.

The next day at noon.

After the court session, the officials left the court in groups.

After bidding farewell to their colleagues, the brothers Yun Zheng and Yun Zhan rode ho with their attendants.

On the bluish stone ground outside the vermilion gates, a lone rosewood carved carriage stood. After dismounting, the brothers’ eyes fell on that carriage.

In the next instant, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a figure in ash-gray erged. An attendant imdiately opened an umbrella to shield his head.

"Duke Ning, may we have a private conversation?"

"I am busy. This Duke is returning ho to accompany my wife."

With a cool deanor, Yun Zheng squinted and spoke indifferently, handing the reins of the red horse to an attendant, preparing to leave briskly.

Swish!

Several robust guards imdiately stepped forward, blocking his path.

Yun Zheng halted, casting a cold glance at the gentlemanly yet imposing man not far away.

"Lord Grand Commandant, what do you intend to do?"

"What do I intend to do? The Emperor ordered to investigate the assassination attempts on colleagues. Wasn’t it Duke Ning who suggested this? Surely you’re aware, right?"

"I am rely acting on imperial orders and hope Duke Ning can cooperate."

Su Jian sneered, his narrowed eyes filled with rage.

Yun Zhan’s expression also grew colder, "Lord Grand Commandant, if you’ve forgotten the Emperor’s exact words, I can remind you."

"The Emperor asked you to find evidence to prove your innocence, not to obstruct officials for investigation. Don’t overdo it."

"Indeed, this act of mine is precisely to find evidence, what is wrong with that? I suspect the evidence is on Duke Ning’s person."

Su Jian stared intently at Yun Zheng, ignoring Yun Zhan altogether.

"I’ve warned you nicely, yet you wouldn’t listen. In that case, let this Duke witness the ability of this ragtag bunch."

"n."

At Yun Zheng’s command, over a dozen guards from the Duke Mansion rushed out swiftly, forming a standoff with Su Jian’s n.

Seeing this, Su Jian’s expression subtly shifted, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

"Duke Ning, what is the aning of this? I rely wish to ask you a question, do you intend to resort to violence?"

"Hmph, that should be the question I ask you, Su Jian. You were the one who first had blocked, what exactly are you planning?"

"Don’t just say you have a question for this Duke. Is this how you ask? And you think if you want to question this Duke, he must listen? What if I don’t listen?"

"Don’t try to pin defiance of orders on this Duke. The Emperor didn’t order to cooperate with you."

"..."

Rendered speechless, Su Jian, after a mont, with a dark face, said, "Yun Zheng, don’t think I don’t know. Everything that happened at the court yesterday was your doing, trying to fra ."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng chuckled coolly, his expression unchanged, his heart unperturbed.

"Lord Grand Commandant, words must be accountable. Do you dare say so without evidence? If you have evidence, go present it to the Emperor directly, don’t co nagging at this Duke."

"If you speak so without evidence, well, is the Grand Commandant like a dog, biting anyone he sees?"

"Yun Zheng!!!"

Su Jian was so angry he nearly fainted on the spot, astonished that soone who had studied the classics could speak so crudely, utterly disgraceful.

"Lord Grand Commandant, no need to shout so loud. This Duke is strong and healthy, my ears work fine, I can hear."

Yun Zheng nonchalantly picked his ear, exuding an infuriatingly calm deanor.

Seeing this, a subtle smile touched Yun Zhan’s lips, a flash of amusent glead in his dark eyes.

He shouldn’t underestimate his brother’s combat skills; whether in martial arts or verbal sparring, he rarely had an equal.

As for this self-proclaid sanctimonious Su Taiwei, how could he possibly be a match for his brother in a war of words?

"If the Grand Commandant has nothing to say, then this Duke will not accompany you."

With those words, Yun Zheng strode towards the door, head held high, hands clasped behind his back. Yun Zhan promptly followed.

Seeing him approach, two guards of the Su Family, oblivious to the situation, dared to block his path with blades. Yun Zheng, unrelenting, lifted his leg and kicked forcefully.

Bam!!!

The guard was kicked several ters away, slamming hard to the ground, spurting a mouthful of blood, fainting on the spot.

The other guard, terrified, was trembling, his body weak, but seeing his unconscious companion, sohow decided to charge at Yun Zheng with a blade.
