Chapter 843: Chapter 398: Raising Havoc in the Government Office, Seizing the Enemy Single-Handedly—The Moment to Shine Has Arrived!

The yamen runner was already scared out of his wits. He secretly thought that his life was about to end, and afterward he would surely be beaten to death by Kong Li, tortured endlessly, without any chance of survival.

Li Xian said, "I merely asked him about his illness, that’s all." Kong Li’s eyes flashed with cleverness as he tightly gripped Li Xian’s shoulder, gently pressing down with arm strength, and employed an intricate Martial Arts technique, grinning without smiling, he said, "Don’t try to fool me, I have spent years chasing criminals and catching thieves, how can I be easily deceived? People with guilty consciences act like that, surely they are discussing me behind my back. The hatred in his eyes was extreme, also trying to deceive me is useless."

Li Xian thought to himself, "I am seeking clues, if I admit it, I might neglect this little brother." Feeling the pressure on his shoulder gradually increasing, he became increasingly displeased, and said blandly, "Magistrate Kong is perhaps too suspicious, maybe from catching thieves all night, overworked, he misjudged for a moment!"

Kong Li suddenly shouted, "You cur, kneel before me!" His hand’s Power suddenly increased, employing the Martial Arts technique "Ten Thousand Pound Palm", his Palm Strike aimed down, intending to crush Li Xian’s shoulder instantly, making Li Xian kneel beside him.

The commotion was huge. When he shouted, all the physicians and injured looked over. Tian Sanfang and Yao Baishun emerged from a room. Seeing Li Xian standing motionless, Kong Li was shocked, his Inner Qi surged wildly, the palm’s force sank deeper, his hand as heavy as a thousand-pound stone.

Li Xian’s feet on the jade bricks emitted "crack" "crack" sounds, cracks spread like spider webs, yet Li Xian stood proudly, not moving an inch. Seeing Tian Sanfang and Yao Baishun watching, Kong Li could not let this go, he pressed down on both of Li Xian’s shoulders with both hands, simultaneously flashed behind him, and his right leg toe kicked toward Li Xian’s knee pit.

He said, "Cur, this County Captain is routinely questioning, kneel and speak to me!"

Li Xian’s whole body steadied, in his chest "Thunder Sound strikes the Heart Furnace", emitting strange sounds like thunder and fire. At the same time, he employed "Iron Copper Body", his entire body burst forth with a black radiance. Instantly shaking Kong Li into chaos, retreating several steps, barely steadying himself.

Kong Li felt ashamed, immediately pressed forward with two fierce moves. Li Xian thought, "Such Skill, daring to show off before me, if you are shameless, I will give you no face."

His gaze pierced the opponent’s flaw, swiftly reached out a hand, and grasped Kong Li’s neck. Li Xian applied tremendous force, with a little exertion, he could have made Kong Li’s head break and bleed. Kong Li employed defensive Martial Arts, still struggled.

But immediately felt a terrifying Power emanate from the neck, his face flushed with blood, almost unable to breathe, unable to speak. His face full of terror, not knowing that an ordinary physician possessed such strength. Secretly cursed himself for being careless, regrettably beyond measure.

Hands and feet flailed on Li Xian’s arm. But victory had been decided, the struggle was evident.

Li Xian squeezed his neck, lifting him up entirely. The yamen runners watching all secretly cheered, greatly relieved. Yao Baishun urgently shouted, "Do not harm him!"

Li Xian casually swung. Kong Li rolled out, unable to stop within several dozen feet, his power was immense, incredibly terrifying. Tian Sanfang leapt to intercept and support Kong Li.

Kong Li’s clothing and armor were in disarray, completely disoriented. Just now facing life and death danger, blood rushed to his head, unable to calm.

Tian Sanfang angrily shouted, "How dare you insolent outlaw, bring him down!"

Li Xian shouted, "Fine, since you are determined to bully me, then I will create chaos in government office! Let’s see who dies first!" Tian Sanfang and Kong Li both retreated half a step, suddenly feeling a murderous aura converge.

Tian Sanfang glanced at Yao Baishun, secretly thinking, "This Yao Baishun belongs to the Yao Family, yet holds the Medical Pavilion. With him present, things must be reasonable and evidence-based." He said, "Obviously, it’s you who are acting fiercely! How can you say we bullied you?"

Li Xian said, "Curious, curious, who was the first to make a move, County Officer Tian, could you perhaps not see it?"

Tian Sanfang said, "This..." left speechless, turning to look at Kong Li.

Kong Li regained his breath, extremely angry, since his reputation was muddied, he had not lost such face. Just now in battle, his heart was dissatisfied. But knowing the circumstances, it was unsuitable to be aggressive, he said, "County Officer Tian, please be master. This person... this person has been suspicious in actions from the start, so I routinely questioned..."

Li Xian interrupted, "If it’s just routine questioning, I would naturally cooperate, indeed know without concealment, speak without reserve. Magistrate Kong had a great official demeanor, speaking and ordering me to kneel. According to Jade City’s law, although Magistrate Kong is a County Captain, does he not have this authority? Furthermore, I am a citizen of Jade City, carrying the jade badge, which proves my status. Cooperating with questioning, why should I kneel?"

Li Xian thought to himself, "Even if winning a verbal dispute, it is useless. Today in this government office, I will rest for now. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay with knives and spears." He then said, "And Magistrate Kong said my actions were suspicious. This is no problem, being a Thief Catcher, Magistrate Kong is right to be suspicious and thoughtful. But truly not knowing, the specific suspicious actions referred in words, what are they? Could it be my method of treating illnesses, has Magistrate Kong misunderstood?"

Tian Sanfang immediately looked at Yao Baishun, with Yao Baishun observing this, if there were no reasonable grounds, rashly claiming a physician’s actions are suspicious, it may cause his displeasure. Li Xian’s words, indeed subtly providing a step down.

Yao Baishun said, "Magistrate Kong, you might as well tell the truth about what you saw and heard. If the suspicion is reasonable, Li Xian will surely cooperate. If there’s some misunderstanding, speak openly on the spot, leave no mental knots, wouldn’t it be a great joy for all?"

No matter how much Kong Li strained his brain, manufacturing charges would inevitably be full of flaws. He could only endure anger and said, "Perhaps... perhaps it was indeed a misunderstanding entirely. Li Xian’s unique medical skills caused my misunderstanding."

This was the moment to apologize, clearing the misunderstanding, all sides joyful. Yet Kong Li stumbled over words, his complexion changing, unwilling to utter.

Li Xian said, "If that’s the case, I sincerely apologize for any offense." Seemingly retreating a step first. But actually further placing Kong Li high, showing his narrow-mindedness, ill-suited for major responsibilities, revealing his disgrace outright.
