Chapter 336 - I am here to plead your case"Inspector General!" Upon hearing these words from Xiang Yun, the woman"s eyes were filled with rage!
"My husband and grandma all died miserably because of these barbarians. Of course, I will not give up. As soon as I escape, I will immediately report to the Patrol Officer to declare my innocence."
"Oh, did they ever uphold justice for you?" Xiang Yun hurriedly asked.
"Humph! I will uphold justice." The woman"s face revealed a mocking expression. "When these Patrol Officers heard that we were wronged, they came out to take a look. When they heard that I was here to sue those barbarians, they were so scared that their legs went limp. They directly said that they couldn"t interfere and locked me and Niuniu outside the Patrol Officer"s door!""I waited for an entire night and saw that they still refused to pay any attention to us. I knew that there was no hope in begging for help, so I destroyed this extravagant hope and brought my daughter out of the city. If I didn"t meet my benefactor, I would have been insulted by those two Berserker Weapons."
Hearing this, Xiang Yun and Dong Lin"s faces simultaneously darkened. They had long since heard that the tiger city was in chaos. They had only just arrived at the city gates, yet they had already heard of this tragic event.
Xiang Yun couldn"t help but clench his fist, letting out a crisp beng sound as he felt a little angry in his heart."Big Sis, do you trust me?" Xiang Yun looked straight at the woman as he spoke!
"Of course I trust benefactor!"
The woman nodded her head without hesitation. If not for Xiang Yun, she would definitely have been humiliated today. How would she have had the face to continue living when that time came? As for her daughter Niuniu, she had no one to rely on, so it was impossible for her to continue living. Xiang Yun had saved their lives. His kindness was as heavy as a mountain!
Since that"s the case, Big Sis, you can follow me into the city. I"ll help you complain to the Patrol Office!
"Can this work?" When the woman heard this, she immediately hesitated!"Big Sis, believe Brother Wei, he"s the newly appointed captain of the Patrol Officer Patrol Guard. With him helping you redress your grievances, you"ll definitely get your revenge!" Dong Lin also said on the side.
At this moment, even the little girl Niuniu came forward, pulling Xiang Yun along as she spoke in a childish voice, "Niuniu also believes in big brother. Big brother will definitely help mother!"
The woman hesitated for a moment as she looked at the righteous Xiang Yun. Then, she recalled his actions earlier. Even the cold heart of the Inspector General"s wife had once again ignited hope. Immediately, she nodded heavily!
"Alright, then I will depend on Benefactor to make the decision!"
"Alright, then let"s enter the city now!"
Xiang Yun and Dong Lin directly brought the mother and daughter back into the city. Xiang Yun did not immediately go to the Patrol Office, but first brought them to a wonton shop and ate two bowls of steaming primal chaos.
This mother and daughter pair were penniless. They had also been frozen by the Inspector General for the entire night, and were already trembling from hunger and cold. Now that they had eaten two bowls of hot wontons, their faces were much redder, and during the meal, Xiang Yun had found out that the woman"s surname was Meng Qinglan and her husband"s surname was Lu.
"Niuniu is full, thank you big brother!"
A moment later, the little girl put down her chopsticks and rubbed her belly. Her pair of shiny black eyes turned into two crescent moons!Xiang Yun also lovingly rubbed the little girl"s head as he said, "Alright, then let"s go. Does Niuniu want to ride a horse?"
"Wah! Horse riding, Niuniu thinks!"
Everyone walked out of the wonton shop. Xiang Yun placed Niu Niu on the back of the horse as he led the horse and Dong.
Lin and the woman walked together. After asking around for a bit, they rushed towards the Patrol Officer who was near the east side of the city.
On the way back, Xiang Yun discovered that there were not many Storm Country people on the streets of the Tiger City. On the contrary, it was the common soldiers of the barbarian race who came and went with great excitement.
When they saw Xiang Yun and the rest walking down the street, the barbarians actually looked at them with disdain and contempt. Some of the barbarians then turned their ill-intentioned gazes towards the tender and plump Meng family, but upon seeing Xiang Yun and Dong Lin wearing military uniforms and with an extraordinary bearing, no one dared to go up and stop them.
However, just from this short journey, Xiang Yun could already sense the fearlessness and ill intentions of this group of barbarians.
Even the clear skies were like this. If night were to fall and it was the dead of night, then what kind of dangerous situation would there be in the tiger city? Perhaps the citizens of the Wind Cloud Country would not even dare to venture out onto the streets.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yun"s anger towards the Patrol Officer couldn"t help but grow even more. This was the only support a commoner had in Tiger City, yet they were actually not acting. What was the use of them? Xiang Yun unconsciously quickened his pace!
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn had pa.s.sed, the four of them finally arrived at the Patrol Office"s office located at the border between the east and south of the city!There were also two majestic stone lions standing in front of the gate. Above the two stone lions and above the entrance of the yamen, there was a signboard with the words "Patrol Officer, Exterminate evil" written on it. In the bottom left corner of the signboard, there were two golden words: "Royal Construction"!
With a single glance, one could tell that this was not some Clear Water Yamen. After all, the Tiger Sect"s Patrol Office was a famous oil and water yamen half a year ago. It was not strange for the mansion to be built so majestically.
The red lacquer door was shut tight, and cobwebs had already been hung on the eaves of the house. The big drum, which was used by the citizens of Hu City to redress their grievances, was placed crookedly, and the drumsticks had already disappeared without a trace. The contents of the drum were rather rich, and there were a few lumps of egg and vegetable dregs on the surface.
Although he was filled with grat.i.tude and expectations towards Xiang Yun, the current Inspector General was no longer able to vouch for the common people. Would a newly appointed Inspector General be able to reverse the course of events?
Xiang Yun turned his head to look at Lady Meng with a comforting gaze before walking up the steps to the door. His expression was cold and resolute as he struck out with his palm. The distant drum was instantly struck as if it had been struck by a sledgehammer!
"Dong, dong, dong, dong!"
The drumbeats were like thunder, shaking the air. Seeing this miraculous scene, Niu Niu could not help but widen her eyes in curiosity. The Meng family only felt their hearts tremble, and their confidence immediately soared. This young man was indeed not an ordinary person!
Inside the Patrol Office, the Patrol Officer, Lu Hongda, was playing chess with the Master in the backyard. He was holding a cup of fragrant tea in one hand and a chess piece in the other.Suddenly, he heard a thunderous drum sound, causing Lu Hongda"s hands to soften. Tea and chess pieces fell onto the chess board, causing the chess pieces to fall into disorder!
"Who is this drumming?!" Lu Hongda looked around in panic."Uh, Inspector, I don"t know." Elder Zhang was panicking.
"Then why don"t you bring someone over to take a look!""Ai, this lowly one will go right away!"
A moment later, the sound of a wooden bolt sliding could be heard and the door of the Inspector General"s office opened a crack!
Master Zhang and a few bailiffs simultaneously revealed their heads, looking out. When they saw Xiang Yun, dressed in military uniform, standing in front of the yamen with another soldier behind him, as well as a woman and child, they immediately let out sighs of relief.
Then, Master Zhang"s moustache trembled, and his small eyes showed some dissatisfaction, "Who are you? How could he dare to casually hit the Cries of Harmony Drum! "
"Since he is beating up the unjustly named drum, he must have a grievance to voice it out!"
"You have a grudge?"Although the latter wore a military uniform, he had never seen this person before in the Inspector General"s Office. It was likely that he was not a member of the Inspector General"s Office.
"It"s not me who is wronged, but this person is the victim!" Xiang Yun turned to look at the Meng family. Dong Lin hurriedly brought the Meng family and Niu Niu over!
When Master Zhang saw the Meng Clan"s face clearly, he immediately exclaimed, "Aiya, why is it you again, close the door! Quickly close the door!"
Without even asking, Master Zhang ordered his men to close the door!
Seeing this, Xiang Yun frowned. He stepped forward and pressed down on the door, but the few yamen runners within did not move at all despite trying their best to close the door. Martial Aunt Zhang could not help but look at Xiang Yun with a mixture of shock and anger as he shouted.
"What are you doing? This is the Patrol Officer!""You know this is the Patrol Officer!" Xiang Yun said with a mocking expression.
"Since you"re the Patrol Officer, why don"t you try to redress the grievances of the victims? Could it be that the Patrol Officer is just a decoration? Quickly open the door! I want to meet with the Inspector!"
Upon hearing this, Master Zhang and the other bailiffs looked at each other in dismay, unable to find any words to reply. Master Zhang could not help but curse in anger.
"Bad luck, bad luck! Where did the barbarians come from?"
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Xiang Yun"s eyes. He no longer had any patience and directly kicked the Inspector General"s door!"Boom!"
There was a loud bang as the door of the Patrol Officer"s office broke free of the door frame and flew directly into the Patrol Officer"s office, knocking away the few constables behind the door as well as Elder Zhang. They all fell to the ground and rolled around like a falling gourd, their screams echoing in the air!
"Clang!"The moment the door slammed down, the Chief Patrol Officer, Lu Hongda, who had just walked out of the backyard and was ready to check the situation, was startled when he saw the door of the Patrol Officer fly into the main hall. He slipped and fell down the stairs of the main hall, falling flat on his face.
Xiang Yun and Dong Lin led the mother and daughter of the Meng family directly through the door of the Patrol Officer"s office as they coldly swept their eyes over everyone!"Inverse! Inverse! There is someone who dares to trespa.s.s into the Patrol Office! Quickly, arrest them!"
Seeing that Xiang Yun still dared to barge into the yamen, Elder Zhang was both shocked and furious as he yelled at the top of his lungs!
"Humph, open your dog eyes and see if I"m a bad person or not!"
With an angry shout, Xiang Yun smashed the medallion at his waist onto Elder Zhang"s face. Elder Zhang let out another anguished cry as he took a look at the medallion on the ground with a trembling hand!
"Uh, the Patrol Officer, the captain of the city guards!"
