814: Chapter 814 Director Zhao!
The guards at the door, upon hearing the command of Special Envoy Liu, imdiately opened the large gate to welco the arriving convoy.
The convoy entered quickly and then stopped.
Subsequently, a group of people got down from the vehicles.
When Special Envoy Liu saw who was getting off the vehicles, the smile on his face froze.
The individuals disembarking were not the directors from the sixth office but officials from the state governnt.
Next, from the central Audi, a middle-aged man with an imposing aura got out of the vehicle.
“Governor Zhang?”
Yao Pingsheng’s expression changed.
The newcor was indeed Zhang Zheng.
By his side was Liu Bo.
Zhou Yu also found the arrival of Zhang Zheng unexpected, but considering the major commotion at the highway junction earlier, it would have been strange if Zhang Zheng had been unaware.
Zhang Zheng arriving so swiftly did touch him.
Flanked by a crowd, Zhang Zheng strode into the midst of the people.
The personnel from the Martial Pavilion of Hai City unconsciously stepped aside on seeing Zhang Zheng.
Zhang Zheng approached Zhou Yu, Special Envoy Liu, and the others, scanned them with his gaze, and then spoke indifferently:
“It’s quite lively here today.”
“Such a major incident occurred in the provincial city, and yet I as the governor was uninford.
If word got out, I might be accused of dereliction of duty.”
Hearing this, Xiang Yinglong’s face darkened and he said:
“Governor Zhang, this is an internal matter of our Martial Pavilion and unrelated to the state governnt.
Please have a seat inside, Governor.
I’ll have soone prepare tea right away.”
“After we’ve handled the matter, I’ll drink a few glasses with you.”
Zhang Zheng indifferently replied:
“No need for tea.”
“It’s true that the state governnt should not intervene in the internal affairs of the Martial Pavilion.
However, soone has co to complaining that the Martial Pavilion of Hai City intends to twist the facts and conspire to fra my son-in-law.
Given that, can I really just stand by and watch?”
At this statent, everyone was stunned.
Zhou Yu was also taken aback.
Son-in-law?
What the heck?
Seeing the surprised and confused looks from everyone, Zhang Zheng cleared his throat.
“Ahem!”
“To be precise, it should be my future son-in-law.”
Having said that, Zhang Zheng gave Zhou Yu a aningful glance.
Zhou Yu was montarily taken aback.
Then he quickly understood.
Zhang Zheng had found an excuse to get involved.
Xiang Yinglong frowned deeply.
What nonsense about a future son-in-law, he didn’t believe a word of it.
He had investigated Zhou Yu’s situation thoroughly.
Zhang Zheng’s daughter, Zhang Jingjing, had hardly interacted with Zhou Yu a few tis, so how could there be any romantic involvent?
It was clear that Zhang Zheng was here to protect Zhou Yu.
This was getting troubleso.
At this mont, Zhang Zheng looked towards Zhou Yu.
“Zhou Yu, what exactly happened here?”
“Why such a mobilization of forces?”
Zhou Yu shrugged.
“Minister Xiang claims I killed their Deputy Minister from the Hai City Martial Pavilion, and now they’ve joined forces with the Punishnt Hall demanding that I cripple my own cultivation and surrender myself.”
“I refused and told them to produce evidence.
Instead, they incited these people to force the issue.”
Hearing this, Zhang Zheng looked toward Xiang Yinglong.
“Minister Xiang, is that so?”
Facing Zhang Zheng’s inquiry, Xiang Yinglong subtly glanced at Special Envoy Liu.
Now that Zhang Zheng had suddenly intervened, the Martial Pavilion of Hai City alone couldn’t suppress Zhou Yu, and they had to join forces with the Punishnt Hall.
Special Envoy Liu naturally understood this implication.
Special Envoy Liu imdiately spoke:
“Governor Zhang, the Punishnt Hall has already issued an arrest warrant.
Zhou Yu is now openly resisting and has violated the laws of the Punishnt Hall.
Please do not misuse public power to obstruct the Punishnt Hall in handling this case, otherwise, it might damage your reputation if the word gets out.”
The threat in Special Envoy Liu’s words was quite evident.
Zhang Zheng was no easy target.
He asked plainly.
“Who are you?”
“Special Envoy Liu Feng of the Punishnt Hall,” Special Envoy Liu said calmly.
“Special Envoy Liu?
Which eye of yours sees misusing public power?” Zhang Zheng retorted impolitely.
Special Envoy Liu sneered:
“We are all smart people here.
You claim Zhou Yu is your prospective son-in-law, isn’t that wanting to protect Zhou Yu?
Why bother pretending?”
Zhang Zheng replied calmly:
“Special Envoy Liu, you are mistaken there.”
“What if my prospective son-in-law is Zhou Yu?
If he has indeed done sothing wrong, then you should punish him as it should be.
If your punishnt is too lenient, my state governnt won’t let him off either.”
“I ca here today to witness his sentencing result, beyond that, I will not interfere in any other affairs.”
“That’s it, you may continue.”
With these words from Zhang Zheng, Special Envoy Liu and Xiang Yinglong were sowhat dumbfounded.
What exactly does Zhang Zheng want to do?
They couldn’t figure it out.
However, just at this mont, another convoy drove up to the gate.
This ti, Special Envoy Liu was much more vigilant.
He scrutinized the approaching vehicles and, on noticing the familiar license plate from the Capital City, his face lit up with excitent, and he quickly jogged towards them.
“Quick, open the gate.”
As the gate was opened again, the line of cars drove in.
Special Envoy Liu rushed to the front of the leading vehicle and personally opened the car door to welco a middle-aged man.
This man was around fifty years old, with a stern face and an extraordinary aura.
“Director Zhao, you’ve finally arrived.”
Director Zhao nodded slightly, then surveyed the courtyard.
“What’s going on here?”
“Has that criminal Zhou Yu been captured yet?”
Special Envoy Liu hurriedly said:
“Director Zhao, Zhou Yu’s arrest—Minister Xiang’s n have surrounded him, but he hasn’t been captured yet.”
“Resisting arrest?
Hmph, a re lad, yet he dares to resist.”
“Protector of the Punishnt Hall, step forward and kill that lad for .”
Upon the command from Protector Zhao, the dozen Saint Realm experts who had alighted from the vehicles imdiately moved forward with nacing montum.
