Now, we must arrest everyone and bring them back for trial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Evidence? Where is the evidence?” Liu Zhaonan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xu Zhengnan pointed to the dirty, snow-stained fabric on the ground: “It’s all there, your father dropped it, see for yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Liu Zhaonan glanced indifferently at Xu Zhengnan and then bent over to pick it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only looked for a moment when anger filled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does this prove?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It says here I killed Wang Sanzhu? When did I kill him? His wife, Zhang Xiuhui, was bought by me with money!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bought?” Xu Zhengnan sneered, “You’re lucky you remember that. You paid the money, but it never reached him; instead, he was left exposed in an unmarked grave outside the city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning watched the two, ready to continue their verbal sparring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately spoke, “Head Arrest Officer Xu, there’s no need for more words, let’s make the arrest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander Jiang is right; let’s arrest him and investigate. If he has violated the laws of Great Xia, he should be judged accordingly!” Xu Zhengnan immediately responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see who dares?” Liu Zhaonan half-drew his sword, glaring furiously: “I have already sent someone to inform Commander Yuan Hua, Commander Ye Qiu, and Master Hong. They will soon be here to ensure justice. I want to see who dares to touch me without their orders?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander Jiang, you see…” Xu Zhengnan said, a hesitation in his gaze towards Jiang Ning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhaonan’s words clearly intimidated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, only the Inspection Office could judge its personnel when they committed offenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the county government was not entitled to judge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the reason for the exceptionally high status of the Inspection Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an independent system with its own authority to enforce laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other law enforcement parties, unless principles were violated, were required to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, the Inspection Office personnel also had the authority to execute first and report later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such stacked privileges were what gave Inspection Office personnel an extraordinarily high status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this was the reason for Xu Zhengnan’s hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he held the evidence of Liu Zhaonan’s crimes, and according to the laws of Great Xia, Liu Zhaonan’s offenses warranted death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Liu Zhaonan was no longer an ordinary man but a Standard Ninth Grade officer of the Inspection Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This status meant that even though he was a head arrest officer of the county government, a rank of Eighth Grade, he could not touch him or punish him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all present, only one person truly had the authority to deal with Liu Zhaonan, and that was Jiang Ning, also ranked Eighth Grade and a Deputy Commander of the Inspection Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jiang Ning saw Xu Zhengnan’s hesitant look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then spoke, “Since you mentioned Yuan Hua, Ye Qiu, and Master Hong are coming, I will wait for a while!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Liu Zhaonan felt at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Ye Qiu and Master Hong, as soon as Yuan Hua arrived, with his support, Liu Zhaonan could consider this crisis over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, Jiang Ning was alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Yuan Hua was a heavenly talent of Martial Arts, born from an academy in Guangning Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also early into the Seventh Grade of Martial Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming from the academy in the prefecture city, his background was extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Academy students all receive orthodox inheritance from the Martial Saint Mansion, practicing unique Martial Arts Skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like them, at the same level, could fight two or three opponents alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such was the power of an orthodox inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Liu Zhaonan’s view, given Yuan Hua’s Seventh Grade Martial Arts strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those in Luoshui County, excluding foreign Martial Artists like the Four Great Commanders, Master Hong, and members of the Yellow Heaven Sect,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Hua’s strength was definitely among the top three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Yuan Hua arrived, with his strength, what could Jiang Ning possibly fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what Liu Zhaonan did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Hua had already fallen unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The internal injuries caused by Jiang Ning’s Water and Fire True Strength within Yuan Hua’s body were extremely severe, requiring months of recovery before any hope of healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the light snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone continued to wait where they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other parts of the city, with the full force of the government troops and the leaderless state of the Black Tiger Gang, whose leader had already been killed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Tiger Gang was eradicated within a few hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught if caught, dead if dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The majority were dead; not even one in ten survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because among the government troops, instructions had already been given in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If rules allowed, kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in cases where it did not comply with the regulations and under public scrutiny, they resorted to making arrests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What started as a light snow gradually became a heavy snowfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky also grew darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the government troops started lighting their torches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright flames illuminated the surroundings of Liu Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the wait was prolonged, not a single person made a noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the person everyone was waiting for held the highest authority in Luoshui County, even the County Lord of Luoshui County was insignificant compared to Hong Minghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There he is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it Master Hong coming?” Xu Zhengnan leaned toward the direction of the Inspection Office and couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Commander Ye Qiu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, Xu Zhengnan’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Hong and Commander Ye are both here!” he said, looking at Liu Zhaonan with a hint of complexion in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-05-29T16:07:09.209Z","2026-06-01T04:29:41.389Z",1,"novelbin.me","fb67fc80ac2fa8044747fbc8552fcefc7db647040587dd296c8eb3e2e8fd7082","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-388","grinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-chapter-386",1570,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-cultivation-toward-martial-saint-cover.jpg"]
