Chapter 204: and ===GLOSSARY===

Minister of Household: "……"

Is this Chen family member's brain circuit always this astonishing?

They openly want to get rid of me.

What's the difference between this and outright treason?

You damn it, you're at least the Minister of War of Sichuan Province.

Eating Great Xia's imperial grain.

How am I supposed to approve military funds for you guys from now on?

And deep in Li Yu's eyes, a look of ecstasy flashed—indeed… the Dian Family's power is unimaginable, truly one of the ancient great families.

Even the Minister of Household has been summoned.

From now on, it'll be easy to handle.

Taking advantage of the situation, we can also deal with the arrogant Chen Taihang.

"Minister Qian, rest assured, I will act immediately and suppress this gang of petty villains, restoring peace to Sichuan!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Li Yu's eyes as he prepared to lead the charge.

Chen Taihang appeared relaxed on the surface, but he felt great pressure inside; the two grandmasters who came from the capital were among the first wave of martial artists to rise a century ago.

Having been famous for a long time, they were stuck at the half-step Martial Saint realm.

Facing three opponents alone, I might not be able to hold them off.

But… my relationship with Qin Shangwu is like that of brothers, plus I owe a favor to Divine Doctor Yan.

Done!

Gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, Chen Taihang prepared to face three opponents alone; a faint phantom appeared behind him, a terrifying aura surged out and merged directly into his body.

His figure rose several zhang, a faint golden light swirled, and his golden manifest appeared!

"Wait a moment, we're here to find Divine Doctor Yan; this has nothing to do with your Sichuan Province affairs."

Minister Qian hastily extended both hands and let out a bitter laugh.

Li Yu froze, and the Supervision Bureau froze.

Chen Taihang also froze.

What does this mean?

Looking for Divine Doctor Yan?

Doesn't that mean this is Qin Yu's gang?

Li Yu's heart gave a jolt, and he instantly felt something was wrong.

This is… something's going to happen.

"Minister, Divine Doctor Yan is now allied with that murderer, which is extremely dangerous." Bureau Chief Jiang, his face swollen like a pig's head, spoke up.

Minister Qian narrowed his eyes: "Noisy."

"Does our bureau need to explain itself to someone like you from the Supervision Bureau?"

"Get lost!"

A withered old figure slowly emerged from behind him, as if merging with heaven and earth, he swung a palm and instantly knocked the Supervision Bureau's Chief Jiang unconscious on the spot.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing, he fixed his gaze on Li Yu and calmly said: "Chief Enforcer Li, you know in your heart whether he is a murderer."

"Now, our department brings the edict of the Elder Council."

"Grant Qin Yu a pardon, declaring him innocent."

"Furthermore, the entire Sichuan Province's Enforcement Bureau, Supervision Bureau, and Ministry of Culture will undergo a thorough overhaul!"

Qian Yi's tone carried a hint of chill.

If I had arrived any later, Qin Yu would have been thrown straight into prison.

By then, how could we even discuss the matter of the new qi-blood pill?

If it weren't for the current lack of high-level martial artists, Qian Yi would have wanted to execute these people on the spot.

You should know that those who reach the position of Minister of Household are basically ruthless and decisive.

"This..." Li Yu's enforcement guards, as well as the Supervision Bureau's personnel, were all dumbfounded.

The Three Great Families joined forces, plus many officials.

As a result, the opposing side was even fiercer, and the Minister of Household himself rushed from the capital to stop it.

Li Yu felt cold sweat trickle down his forehead, and the clothes on his back became soaked.

"The Qin family's background… is it this ferocious?"

"Could it be that I really chose wrong?"

The Dian Family is truly a prestigious clan, and moreover several Sichuan clans have joined forces.

Normally speaking, even the Chen family would suffer heavy losses.

But now, we can't even capture a single Qin Yu?

What secret does he actually possess?

At this moment, Chen Taihang finally realized: this Minister Qian had come to help, he scratched his head and showed an embarrassed expression.

Zhang Wen and the others were also somewhat dumbfounded, involuntarily swallowing their saliva.

It was merely a justifiable defense.

As a result, even the Minister of Household got dragged into it.

This is a bit too frightening, isn't it?

Qian Yi narrowed his eyes, looking extremely kind, walked up to Qin Yu and the others, clasped his fists, and said: "I have met Divine Doctor Yan, Master Qin."

"These days, the injustice you have suffered will be redressed by Great Xia; all those who posted distorted quotes will have their accounts banned and be sentenced to three months."

Both of you, what do you think of this handling result?

In his view, such a handling result is already quite good; there are many behind-the-scenes manipulators, not just these people who have surfaced.

The pressure on the Great Xia side is great.

Many clans demand severe punishment for Qin Yu, this murderer.

It is obvious…… Qin Yu's rise makes them feel threatened.

Especially many powerful families that have had conflicts with Qin Shangwu.

They all want to crush Qin Yu while he is weak, not let him grow; regardless of whether you are so-called martial sage material, as long as there is this sign, it must be eliminated!

The Dian clan is just one of them.

When Qin Yu heard this, before he could speak.

Chen Taihang directly stood before him, sneering sideways: 'Minister Qian, if your son were slandered and you wanted to throw him in jail, would this matter be settled?'

'The so-called rectification is merely making some mid-level officials take the fall; this Li Zong law enforcer remains at large.'

'No matter who Qin Yu is, he is always a subject of our Great Xia; slandered, doused with dirty water, framed, they want to kill him!'

'This damn isn't just destroying our Great Xia's peace?'

'If this is the handling result, I, old man, will be the first to disagree.'

These years, their Martial Department has suffered much injustice.

Even though he comes from a clan, he is very clear: these pests, just how deserving of death they are.

Minister Qian said nothing, remained very calm; Chen Taihang's words don't count.

His gaze fell on Qin Yu and the other person.

As for the Divine Physician, he stood behind Qin Yu, eyes observing nose, nose observing heart; this also shows his stance: here, Qin Yu's word is law.

Qin Yu revealed a thoughtful smile.

He slightly cupped his fists in salute: 'First, thank you Minister Qian for lifting the siege.'

'But even if Minister Qian didn't come today, I would be fine, for I am inherently innocent; even a heaven‑reaching accusation cannot stick to me.'

'Second, if the Law Enforcement Bureau and Supervision Bureau of Sichuan Province have rotted to this extent, able to arbitrarily charge and kill innocents, may I question the credibility of Great Xia?'

'Or rather, has Sichuan Province already broken free from Great Xia's control?'

Li Yu, hearing this, turned pale on his wrinkled face and hastily rebuked: 'Qin Yu, you are only being cleared of suspicion by Minister Qian; do not sow discord, my Sichuan Province Law Enforcement Bureau is loyal and steadfast.'

'Talk too much, ten slaps.' Minister Qian said, his calm surface hiding surging anger; he knows these things, but… the current situation is very dangerous.

Moreover, he cannot cut the knot with a quick blade.

Because, the Law Enforcement Bureau there is not under his jurisdiction.

If these were his subordinates.

He would have chopped them down long ago.

Earlier, that old opera performer directly struck, slapping back and forth ten times in a row, resounding immensely, and it was a full‑force strike.

Li Yu dared not retaliate, stubbornly enduring ten solid slaps.

In his murky eyes, full of vengeful hatred, he wished to kill Qin Yu on the spot!

Zhang Wen and the others were dumbfounded; could it be that Minister Qian has some leverage, caught by Qin Yu?

This is practically offending a grand master to death.

And Xu Yu, his eyes twitched, realizing that the Qin Grand Master mentioned earlier by Minister Qian…

You should know, the blood‑qi pill brought earlier by the Divine Physician is obviously a new type.

It has reached top‑grade quality, with few impurities, and its absorption speed can be doubled.

It is enough to make Minister Qian address him in that way.

That means this blood‑qi pill…… is related to Qin Yu! It might even be that Qin Yu participated in its making!

The most crucial point is.

This item, its cost is low!

Only thus is it worth the Minister of Revenue setting aside his affairs and rushing here from afar.

Her beautiful eyes gazed upon Qin Yu's tall figure.

It seemed somewhat hazy.

Could not be seen clearly.

This boy…… hides countless secrets on his person.
