Chapter 167 What is Professionalism?
Ye Kang also turned his head to look.
On the distant horizon, amidst the dust and mist of dawn, a flag was the first to emerge.
Then came a neat black line, which quickly transformed into a mass of black armor, with dozens of people riding large horses galloping towards them, frightening the pedestrians on the official road into scattering and fleeing.
Gao Weiwu laughed loudly, "So many people have come! As expected of the heroes of Mangshan, their aura is truly impressive!"
Ye Kang saw things more clearly than he did, so upon hearing this, he had a strange expression.
That flag wasn't from the Mangshan heroes at all; it was clearly the banner of the Qinglin Guard.
Sure enough, as soon as the group approached, Gao Weiwu's excited expression froze, and large beads of cold sweat began to appear.
"The Azure Scale Guards! How could this be! Why them?! Where are the heroes of Mangshan?!"
His lower limbs trembled, and he took two steps back in disbelief. At that moment, the heroes of Mangshan, whom he had been longing for, appeared.
Among the masked men, many were leading two horses, each carrying a thief bound hand and foot.
The thieves were screaming in agony, some even missing limbs, clearly having suffered an extremely horrific attack.
At this moment, the commotion quickly attracted nearby villagers and fishermen, and many people gathered by the roadside, watching the scene with curiosity.
After all, Jichuan Town is too close to Poyang City, so it has no chance of encountering any demonic crisis. The Qinglin Guards usually don't come here. This is the first time these local fishermen have seen such a large-scale operation.
Soon, Han Ying and four trainee Qinglin Guards arrived. Everyone reined in their horses, dismounted, and bowed respectfully to Ye Kang.
Han Ying smiled and said, "Lord Ye, the Poyang branch of the Qinglin Guard has come to assist you in investigating the case, under the orders of Xi Yuan."
Her voice was loud and clear, making it easy for everyone to hear.
Upon hearing this, Gao Weiwu's face turned pale, and he collapsed uncontrollably.
"The Azure Scale Guard has arrived... He's real! He really is the Commander of the Imperial City Guard!"
Ye Kang was also slightly taken aback.
Good guy!
What's going on!
I just wanted the steward to send down a few scouts to help out and make things look better, but why are there so many people here!
Seemingly noticing Ye Kang's astonishment, Han Ying added, "Lord Ye, we meet again. The garrison commander of Xiyuan Town said that you should investigate as you see fit, arrest those who should be arrested, and kill those who should be killed. We will definitely cooperate fully."
Ye Kang was still somewhat puzzled upon hearing this, but he didn't dwell on it.
It doesn't matter, as long as there are more people, the more the better.
He leaped down and bowed to Han Ying, saying, "Lord Han, you've worked hard. For the specific details, we'll need Lord Han to consult with the parties involved."
"of course."
Han Ying nodded, then looked at the four trainee Qinglin Guards behind her.
"Take your men and apprehend all those involved in the case in Jichuan Town. Don't let a single one escape."
"Order!"
The trainee Azure Scale Guards looked excited, their blood practically boiling over.
Most importantly, they knew Ye Kang!
Indeed, the two apprentices, Bell and Iron Tower, have idolized Ye Kang ever since they fought a battle together, spreading his name far and wide.
Therefore, in the minds of the trainee Qinglin Guards, Ye Kang was a highly skilled young genius, the most outstanding of all the lackeys and lackeys!
It's such a great honor to be able to work with him on cases!
Therefore, the four of them were full of enthusiasm and immediately began making arrangements.
Before the desperate Gao Weiwu could react, he had already been tied up by a masked man.
Ye Kang scratched his head, secretly admiring the professionalism of the Azure Scale Guards.
Then he and Han Ying entered the ship together.
Hei Zi has woken up under the doctor's care and is in much better spirits. He is currently eating like crazy.
Upon seeing Ye Kang, Hei Zi was excited and immediately tried to kneel down in worship.
Ye Kang reached out to stop him, saying, "Lie down and get better before we talk about anything else."
Hei Zi's eyes showed gratitude as he said, "Thank you so much for saving me!"
“You were in trouble because of me, so it is only right that I save you. Tell me, what exactly happened?”
Kuroko nodded emphatically, recalling the events intently.
It turned out that he had gone to the reed marshes to wait for Ye Kang. After waiting for a long time, a boat came, and the warriors on board overturned the reed marshes without saying a word.
Hei Zi was afraid he wouldn't be able to wait for Ye Kang, so he refused to leave, which attracted the attention of several young masters on the ship.
They sent warriors to capture Hei Zi, destroyed his fishing boat, and questioned him about who he was waiting for.
Hei Zi refused to speak and was severely beaten. The young masters, not yet satisfied, forced Hei Zi to sign a slave contract and put his seal on it, treating him like a pig or a dog and trampling on him.
Two days later, the young masters and ladies left, and Hei Zi was left in the hands of the young master of the Gao family.
After hearing the whole story, Ye Kang remained calm and simply said to Han Ying, "I questioned those young masters from yesterday, and their testimonies were identical. The powerful and wealthy are oppressing the innocent. Does Lord Han agree?"
Han Ying frowned.
Her seasoned experience left her with no doubt about the truth of the matter, and thus she spoke out indignantly.
"Rest assured, Lord Ye! This matter occurred under the jurisdiction of Poyang Prefecture, and we will not tolerate it. May I ask how you intend to punish those scoundrels?"
"Lord Han is joking. Didn't the garrison commander of Xiyuan already say that those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be killed should be killed?"
Ye Kang smirked and turned to walk out of the cabin.
Han Ying's expression also turned cold, and she followed them out.
At that moment, an office worker walked over.
"Lord Han, all the files and evidence have been compiled. It has been confirmed that Gao Weiwu of the Gao family in Jichuan Town forcibly occupied 300 mu of fertile land, set up a fishing shed, and acted as a fishing tyrant for more than ten years with official documents."
Ye Kang stopped in his tracks and looked at Han Ying with a puzzled expression.
The latter smiled slightly and asked, "Where are the others?"
"The case file is still being compiled, but the intelligence from the scouts has confirmed that the Li family and the Zhang family have joined forces to monopolize fishing boats, privately raise aquatic beasts, and attack fishermen, resulting in the deaths of thirteen people and forcing fishermen to rent fishing boats built by them."
"Good! Pass down the order: seize them all and throw them in jail for a thorough interrogation! Where is the county magistrate of Jichuan Town?"
"Lord Han, the county magistrate has confirmed that there is no suspicion of embezzlement or oppression, but he delegates all matters to his clerk and spends his days fishing."
"Hmph, failing to perform one's duties while in office, and knowing the truth but not reporting it, are crimes punishable by one degree. Take them all, and write a document to hold the Ministry of Personnel accountable."
"Yes!"
The fact that the civilian staff stepped down left Ye Kang completely dumbfounded.
So professional!
What are you doing!
I just wanted to kill a few thugs, but you guys want to wipe out their whole families!
Han Ying said with a smile, "Lord Ye, are you satisfied? Don't worry, this matter will be dealt with strictly, and Lord Ye will be given an explanation."
Ye Kang nodded without saying much, but his eyes gradually cleared.
Some things don't need to be said explicitly.
For example, right now, could his title as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial City Guard really be so valued by that Garrison Commander of Xiyuan? To the point of going to such lengths?
That's obviously not the case.
Then there is only one possibility.
He himself was also used as a weapon by the garrison commander.
