Free Web NovelChapter 592: Chapter 162: Brotherly Harmony! Eight Hundred Schemes Each (Part 2)
The shop owner still wanted to say something, but he’d just been kicked.
He couldn’t even stand up.
Now he could only watch helplessly as these people left with the shop’s money.
But.
"Bang!"
An ear-splitting boom suddenly rang out in everyone’s ears.
The men behind seemed to be discussing where to go drinking and carousing tonight.
With so much money, not enjoying it a bit would be a real pity, wouldn’t it?
But unfortunately.
The discussion was still unresolved when, along with the thunderous bang, the people saw a flash before their eyes—the guy in front, weighing the money pouch in his hand, was flung out backwards in an instant.
He slammed hard against the wall.
His whole body collapsed limply to the ground with the momentum.
In this condition, even if he didn’t die, he probably wouldn’t be able to get up again in the future.
"Who are you?!"
The sudden event caught everyone off guard.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the previously arrogant bunch immediately looked over nervously.
"Em—Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
Walking toward them was none other than the Embroidered Uniform Guard, with Shi Sheng and Si Nan at the front.
For a small matter like this.
Obviously, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t show up in person. Otherwise, why keep so many subordinates?
Behind Shi Sheng and Si Nan, more than a dozen Embroidered Uniform Guard followed, all looking over with indifferent eyes.
"You—you’ve got some nerve. Do you know who I am?"
"We’re acting under Lord Yun Hu’s orders!"
"Even if you’re Embroidered Uniform Guard, you have no right to lay hands on us!"
"..."
Seeing these Embroidered Uniform Guard weren’t to be trifled with,
these men, though appearing indignant, none dared make a real move. Instead, they tried bringing up their backing, hoping to scare off the Embroidered Uniform Guard in one go.
"Yun Hu?"
Shi Sheng smiled, weighing the money pouch in his hand.
When he kicked that guy flying a moment ago, the pouch happened to fall up, and Shi Sheng caught it smoothly.
After a brief weighing,
he threw it straight back to the shop owner!
"Th—this..."
Staring at the pouch in his hand, the shopkeeper was clearly still in a daze.
Honestly hadn’t expected it.
The money snatched by these guys could actually come back—and the ones fetching it for him were Embroidered Uniform Guard.
After all,
the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the past didn’t have much of a reputation to speak of.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
No matter what, he’d gotten his money back.
He knelt flat out before Shi Sheng, bowing and thanking him over and over.
To this,
Shi Sheng just waved his hand dismissively, not paying it any mind, instead turning to look at the people in front of him.
"A guy who calls a eunuch daddy, you think you can threaten me?"
Shi Sheng was a righteous hater of evil.
If these guys were really just looking for Wei Hongfang’s painting, Shi Sheng wouldn’t have said much.
But snatching money while ’looking for someone’? That was something Shi Sheng couldn’t stand by and watch.
"Enough talk. Shut it. Just arrest them all and throw them into the Imperial Prison. I heard it’s empty again lately, just good for filling up!"
Si Nan, beside him,
couldn’t be bothered wasting time on this—they were all just minor nobodies.
He waved to the men behind, ready to arrest them outright.
"The—The Imperial Prison!"
Hearing the Embroidered Uniform Guard were about to throw them into the Imperial Prison, these men got even more terrified.
After all, the Imperial Prison had a notorious reputation.
Going in whole, coming out half-dead if not worse.
If they were tossed in there, what good could come of that?
"Wait! Wait!"
Seeing the Embroidered Uniform Guard about to make a move, the men didn’t dare stay silent, blurting out,
"We’re Lord Yun Hu’s men! If you arrest us, things won’t end well for you either!"
Not begging for mercy at a time like this,
but still daring to threaten—they were used to being arrogant!
Si Nan, who hadn’t much cared at first, couldn’t help but chuckle at their threatening eyes.
"Yun Hu is nothing. My lord is Ye Liuyun, Ye the Southern Governor of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. If you have guts, tell that Yun Hu to come find my lord in person and see if he can rescue you!"
This was something Ye Liuyun had ordered too.
Arresting people in the Imperial City meant giving no face to anyone—commit a crime, just grab ’em.
Not just these people; even the Imperial family’s pampered sons, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t hesitate to arrest.
Got a problem?
Come see me yourself.
See if I’m afraid or not.
"Ye—Ye the Lord!"
Ye Liuyun, now famed as a young Grandmaster, was well-known all around the Imperial City.
Not like Fu Zhengqing.
Those who really understood knew Ye Liuyun was a Grandmaster whose style was tough—when he acted, not a shred of face was given, even if he was dragging off some lord’s kid.
Let alone people like them.
They hadn’t expected it, either.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard before them were Ye Liuyun’s people.
"Take them away!"
Seeing the sudden loss of spirit in these men, Si Nan sneered with contempt.
What a joke—threatening my lord?
With a wave of his hand, he ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard behind him.
No nonsense.
The moment Si Nan spoke, they made their move, arresting everyone without delay.
A few tried to resist, but unfortunately, their skills weren’t enough. Si Nan and Shi Sheng were both Postnatal Martial Artists, and dealing with these third-rate fools was child’s play.
