C9 Because of the Scruples

Although many of them were unhappy, none of them dared to stand up and defend Du Qi, especially those in the gang who were more afraid of Luo Changhe than Huang Da. At this moment, it was too late for them to avoid him, so how could they take the initiative to stand up and argue with him?

Chang Xiaowu wanted to stand up for Du Qi, but he did not want to get into trouble because of the lives of hundreds of people. Yao Fugui was not afraid of anything. However, he could not find a reasonable word to say in a hurry. He could only curse in a low voice. He was secretly worried.

Huang Da did not want to make things difficult for Du Qi. He thought that Luo Changhe would not dare to say something that would harm Du Qi openly. That was why he said those words. Who would have thought that Luo Changhe would be so blunt and direct as if he did not care about everyone present. Instead, it made him feel awkward. Although Huang Da was an official appointed by the court, Luo Changhe was just a piece of cloth clothing. However, he did not dare to openly go against Luo Changhe's will. It was all because of Luo Changhe's powerful abilities. He was not someone a small magistrate like him could fight against. If he acted according to Luo Changhe's words, he wouldn't be able to bear it. If he did not do what Luo Changhe had said, he would not be able to do what Luo Changhe had said. The severity of the consequences was even more difficult to predict, so he was stunned for a moment, and felt that it was difficult to make a choice.

Seeing that Huang Da hadn't acted according to his plan, Luo Changhe suddenly said in a gloomy voice, "Big Yellow, have you gotten any benefits from this kid? Do you want to do something that goes against the law in front of everyone?"

Huang Da was originally a quick-witted person, but he could not show it in front of Luo Changhe. At this moment, he did not know what to do when he heard Luo Changhe's words.

The permit of the "Divine Judge of Martial World" knew that Luo Changhe loved to harm others and himself in his life. He would do anything to achieve his goal. He was like an old cat who did not like fish when he saw fish. He was like a fly that would drill into eggs when it was bitten. As long as he was there, he would do anything. Besides, he had a small leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who could cause trouble even if there was no wind. Although he was famous in the martial arts world, he had a family in Xiangyang. Therefore, he did not dare to provoke Luo Changhe or the overbearing Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The reason why Luo Changhe was able to do whatever he wanted in Xiangyang was because he was colluding with the Embroidered Uniform Guard's military in Xiangyang.

Since the establishment of Embroidered Uniform Guard, it was assumed by the Emperor's trusted general. His role was to "lead the guards and patrol and arrest." He had his own prison and could arrest, interrogate, and execute himself. This did not need to go through ordinary judicial procedures and institutions, which made Embroidered Uniform Guard's ability to "patrol and arrest" expand without limits. The Embroidered Uniform Guard had a constant stream of cavalry, from the prime minister to the king. From the commoners to the commoners, they were all under their surveillance. As long as their orders were slightly disobeyed, their families would be destroyed. This showed how terrifying and overbearing the Embroidered Uniform Guard was.

In order to control the power and influence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Emperor had built another east factory. The head of the factory was a eunuch. These eunuchs had a very close relationship with the Emperor, and they were also in the Imperial Palace. It was easier for them to gain the trust of the Emperor. The East Military Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard had gradually changed from being on the same level to having a superior and subordinate relationship. For more than a hundred years, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had been oppressed by the East Factory. Especially during the era of the eunuchs and officials, when the Embroidered Uniform Guard's commander saw the East Factory's owner, he even had to kneel down and kowtow.

Seventeen years ago, Lu Bing was promoted as the commander of the city, and after he took control of the Embroidered Uniform Guard... The Embroidered Uniform Guard gradually got rid of the oppression of the East Factory and became independent from the East Factory. In recent years, the East Factory had been suppressed to the point of not being able to raise its head. The reason why the Embroidered Uniform Guard was becoming more and more powerful with each passing day was all because of Lu Bing.

Lu Bing was a man of the word civilization. He was from Pinghu, and his grandfather was from the Embroidered Uniform Guard. His father was relieved of his duty. His mother was the current emperor's wet nurse, and she had followed her mother into the palace since she was a child. After a while, her martial arts skills had improved. When she was twenty-two years old, she had been a martial arts scholar. She taught the Embroidered Uniform Guard a thousand deputy households, and after her father died, she was appointed as the commander and became the commander. He was in charge of the Southern Supporting Division. When he was thirty years old, he followed the Emperor and patrolled the Southern Town Security Division. It was the night palace that had caught fire. He risked his life to save the Emperor, and after that, he was even more favored by the Emperor.

Lu Bing discovered that he was still in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guard after receiving the teachings of Great senior nun, Guardian Fu and Young Master Fu Shao Bao. He had a godlike status in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He also had a high prestige in the army and was deeply respected by the army. Ever since he became the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the soldiers of Embroidered Uniform Guard had become even more unscrupulous when it came to recruiting evil officials as their pawns. They were looking for people who were either rich or had rare treasures, and those who were chosen by them. No matter who it was, they would be arrested and confiscated for all kinds of crimes. From this, it could be seen how powerful and powerful the Embroidered Uniform Guard was. Their actions were arrogant.

"Flying Fish on the Wall of the Nine Provinces," it was the best description of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the East Factory's actions. Just like East Factory, Embroidered Uniform Guard had branches in all the prefectures and counties in the country. They sent people to station there, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard was led by the main flag or small flag. They were in charge of daily matters. Their mission was to help the Emperor scout out the officials, soldiers, and civilians. Secretly investigate the movements of the army and civilians. However, they were not completely in charge of the Imperial Court. Instead, they were doing it for their own personal gain. Luo Zhi often accused them of being good, falsely accused them, and took the opportunity to extort and blackmail them.

Due to the conflict between the wife and brother of the former prefectural governor of Xiangyang Prefecture, Wang Guozhong, and Luo Changhe, the two of them could not bring themselves to bring up Wang Guozhong's dispute to seek a solution. Wang Guozhong's handling of this matter could be said to be fair, but his tone towards Luo Changhe at the critical moment was slightly heavier. He was actually held in Luo Changhe's heart by hatred, and together with Guo Qinggong and the rest of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's members, they were accused of various crimes. In the end, Wang Guozhong ended up destroying his home and losing his official position.

Even the court appointed official of a prefecture was like this, let alone other people. This was the fundamental reason why Huang Da did not dare to go against Luo Changhe's will. The permit, Chang Xiaowu, and the other members of the gang did not dare to provoke them.

After hearing what Luo Changhe said, Huang Da knew that if he didn't arrest Du Qi according to his will today, he would definitely be charged with Luo Changhe's crimes. At that time, not only would he not be able to protect Du Qi, but he would also be unable to protect him. He might even lose his life. However, Huang Da really didn't want to offend Du Qi just like that. He didn't know what to do, so he could only turn to look at Du Qi.

In Xiangyang, the family with the permit could be considered a wealthy family. This had long attracted the attention of Luo Changhe and Embroidered Uniform Guard, but because of the prestige and reputation of the permit. They had some concerns, so they did not rob the family. The permit was well aware of this. As a result, they were usually very careful in their actions and never let them catch any evidence. They did not want to bring trouble to themselves. However, after hearing Luo Changhe's words, they were unable to restrain themselves any longer. They could not help but cast aside all their worries and were just about to speak up to defend Du Qi. However, he heard Du Qi ask faintly, "Who are you?" Obviously, he was interrogating Luo Changhe.

Luo Changhe narrowed his eyes and looked at Du Qi. He smiled proudly and said, "I am Luo Changhe. I am a scholar. I am just a regular worker in the government office. I think I am half dressed."

Although Du Qi did not know Luo Changhe, he knew this person.
