Chapter 326: Chapter 151: The Road Back to Xianyang! Past Events!_4

"Wei Quan, you have some nerve!"

"Although you serve in the military, you fall under my jurisdiction the moment you enter the city. How dare you be so insolent?" the County Governor bellowed, raising his hand and pointing at Wei Quan. "Dismount and submit to judgment at once!"

But Wei Quan paid him no heed. He spurred his horse forward, bursting through the Government Officials. Spotting the one escorting his wife, he lashed out with his whip.

CRACK!

"Ah!"

With a single, wrathful strike, Wei Quan tore open the Government Official’s skin, leaving a bloody mess. Before another Government Official could react, Wei Quan struck again.

"Ah...!" another man screamed in pain.

The County Governor was completely panicked. He had never anticipated Wei Quan would be so audacious. "Wei Quan, you are outrageous!" he rebuked angrily. "How dare you commit violence in the streets!"

Wei Quan ignored him completely, dismounting and rushing to Madam Wei’s side. He wrapped his arms around her and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Looking at Wei Quan, Madam Wei could no longer hold back the grievances she had suffered for years. She threw herself into his arms and sobbed, "Husband, they’ve been embezzling most of our Annual Salary for years! Our family simply can’t survive!"

"My Annual Salary... embezzled?" Upon hearing this, Wei Quan’s face turned exceedingly grim.

He strode directly toward the County Governor.

Seeing the murderous look on Wei Quan’s face, the County Governor felt a flash of fear. "You... what do you think you’re doing? Do you dare attack an official?" He gestured frantically. "Protect me! Quick, rally the Prefecture Soldiers!"

Wei Quan glared at the County Governor, his teeth clenched. "You corrupt official. You were the one who protected the Bai Family back then, and now you embezzle my salary, leaving my family to starve. You truly deserve to die."

The dozen or so Government Officials at his side also watched Wei Quan with deep fear. The Wei Quan who returned today was completely different from the man of years past. He radiated Killing Intent and carried a far more commanding presence.

"Utter nonsense," the County Governor denied outright, wearing an expression of impunity. "I am the esteemed County Governor of Linguan County. How could I embezzle your Annual Salary? With so many Sharp Warriors in the city, has a single person come forward to accuse me?"

"Whether my salary was embezzled or not will be clear after one look," Wei Quan demanded coldly. "Do you dare hand over the Shaofu’s records to me?"

The County Governor was stunned for a moment, then burst into mocking laughter. "’This General?’ You still call yourself a general? Wei Quan, oh, Wei Quan. How did you become so arrogant in just a few years? A worthless grunt from the Logistics Army, a general? Hahaha."

Clearly, he didn’t believe for a second that Wei Quan could have become a general, dismissing it as wishful thinking.

"Is that so?" Wei Quan sneered.

With a wave of his hand, over a hundred cavalrymen appeared behind him on horseback, their numbers still growing.

"Brothers, I’ll trouble you to take this corrupt official and all these Government Officials into custody," Wei Quan ordered icily.

"Yes, sir!" The trusted aides eagerly obliged. They dismounted swiftly, charged forward, and apprehended the County Governor and all the Government Officials.

The County Governor shouted desperately, "Insolence! Wei Quan, how insolent! How dare a mere soldier from the Logistics Army treat an official this way? I am an Imperial Court official, protected by the Qin laws! The military has no right to do this to me! Someone, go tell Mr. Bai! Gather the Prefecture Soldiers! These are rogue soldiers, bandits!"

At that moment, more and more of the trusted aide cavalry began to converge, gradually surrounding the entire Government Office.

"General Zhao has arrived!" Zhang Ming called out loudly.

At his announcement, all eyes turned to the scene.
