"Get to the point!"

Zhao Cheng turned to the side and pulled Zhao Wu to squat down in front of him.

"Dong Twelve has been beaten up!"

"Why hasn't this guy returned to Yanchuan yet?!"

"I found out that after Dong Shier received the money, he stayed in Qingdong City for an extra day and met a girl who was being bullied."

Zhao Wu swallowed hard and continued, "He played the hero, rescuing a damsel in distress. He and two of his accompanying soldiers beat up the other man, and then stayed in Qingdong City for two more days to settle the girl in..."

Zhao Cheng frowned and said, "Stay a couple more days, is that to settle the girl in? It's because you're lusting after her!"

"Yes, yes, he's a lecherous old man. Master, please let me finish."

"What else is there to say? It's obvious that the person he beat up came looking for him, and then they beat him up too!"

"Master, how did you know?"

"It's hard to explain to you. He brought two guards and they still couldn't beat the others?"

"Not only could he not beat them, but after they beat him up, they wouldn't let him go, saying they would send him to jail and behead him!"

Zhao Cheng frowned. It seemed that Dong Twelve had gotten himself into trouble with some serious thugs.

Where are they now?

"It was on the street in the north of the city. That group of people was very fierce. When I came back to report the news, they were making a scene, saying they wanted to strip Dong Twelve and the others naked, and that they were filthy hooligans!"

"How can the soldiers of the Right Prime Minister's Office tolerate such a humiliation!"

Zhao Cheng stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Zhao Wu pulled Zhao Cheng aside and asked, "There are many of them, shouldn't we invite Xiao Luofeng to come along?"

Zhao Cheng said, "Xiao Luofeng needs to stay here and keep an eye on Chen Hai."

"That Prefect Huang..."

"That's not appropriate. Dong Shier has a special status; if we can handle it quietly, we should resolve it ourselves."

Zhao Cheng winked at Yang Taozhi and said, "The two of you are enough."

night.

Qingdong North Street.

The streets, which were usually deserted, were now crowded with people, and residents in the houses on both sides had opened their windows to look out.

The three men had been stripped down to their underwear. They appeared to be kneeling, but in reality, none of their knees were touching the ground; they were all using their strength to maintain the position.

All three had obvious external injuries on their faces and bodies, especially Dong Shier, whose eye was so swollen that he couldn't open it.

Two men were holding them back, and about twenty people surrounded them. A young man squatted in front of them with a mocking smile on his face.

Behind the young man were about ten other men, each with a sword at his waist, tall and burly.

"Still playing the hero? Still pretending to be a chivalrous knight? Don't you even know who I am? In Qingdong City, no one has ever been born who dares to provoke me, Huang Hua!"

The young man patted Dong Shier's face and sneered, "It's summer now, and I love to eat snakes. My guards happened to be out catching snakes for me that day, otherwise you would have had the chance to show off your heroism."

As he spoke, Huang Hua stood up and said to the surrounding crowd with a smile, "Should we strip these three out-of-towners who came to Qingdong City to harass respectable women naked?!"

The crowd immediately started chattering and jeering.

"Strip naked! Strip naked!"

"Three scoundrels, why bother being polite to them?"

"Dare to harass the girls of Qingdong City? Castration wouldn't be too much of a punishment!"

One of the men beside Dong Shier shouted angrily, "You bunch of fools! He's the scoundrel, we're here to save lives!"

Another person said, "Where were you when we were serving our country..."

Before his companion could finish speaking, Dong Shier suddenly sprang up, kicking each of them once and yelling, "Shut up!!"

As soon as Dong Shier moved, the two people behind him immediately hit him on the back of the head and slammed him to the ground.

His companion, realizing he had spoken out of turn, remained silent.

Huang Hua stepped on Dong Shier's hand and laughed, "Someone's suggestion earlier was excellent! People like you hooligans should be castrated!"

"Someone come here!"

"Pull down his pants and castrate him!"

The people behind Huang Hua immediately walked towards Dong Shier. At this moment, a woman squeezed out from the crowd, blocked Dong Shier's way, and looked around, saying, "Don't be fooled by him, these three are not thugs!"

The woman pointed at Huang Hua and shouted, "He tried to...try to take advantage of me! These three men saved me!"

"You slut!" Huang Hua slapped the woman across the face, and she fell down next to Dong Shier.

Dong Shier quickly moved closer to her and said, "Yan Zhi!"

"Brother Dong, I'm fine!" Yan Zhi grabbed Dong Twelve's arm tightly.

"To actually defend someone who humiliated you, you really are a despicable person!" Huang Hua pointed at Yan Zhi and sneered, "Look at this despicable person, she is a disgrace to Qingdong City!"

"You lot, strip her clothes off too, so everyone can see just how shameless she is!"

The guards who were originally going to attack Dong Shier walked towards Yan Zhi, and in the struggle, they tore off Yan Zhi's outer clothes, leaving Yan Zhi with only an undergarment in the blink of an eye.

Yan Zhi turned pale with fright, covered her chest with her hands, and hid in Dong Shier's arms.

"This is outrageous!!"

Dong Shier suddenly erupted, knocking down the two people behind him as he stood up, and then swept his leg over the group of people who were grabbing Yan Zhi.

The soldiers from both prefectures took the opportunity to knock down the people behind them, protecting Dong Twelve and Yan Zhi from the left and right.

Are you sure you want to resist?

Huang Hua still wore a mocking smile and said, "Kneel down obediently, and I'll send you to jail. If you resist, I'll execute you on the spot!"

Dong Shier and the two brothers exchanged glances. The three of them did not speak, but their eyes conveyed everything.

"Yan Zhi, are you scared?"

Yan Zhi shook her head decisively and said, "I'm not afraid to die with you all!"

"Good girl!"

Dong Shier looked up at Huang Hua, his eyes undergoing a dramatic change, like a bloodthirsty beast.

"Brothers, let's treat this as a battlefield, kill one, and make a profit!"

"kill!!"

Stared at by Dong Shier's changing gaze and noticing the shift in their aura, Huang Hua instinctively took a step back and shouted, "Kill them! Kill them all! Execute them on the spot!"

The guards rushed towards Dong Twelve, when suddenly a flash of light appeared, and the wrist of the guard in the lead was severed. The guards behind him immediately stopped and saw a man with a scar on his face appear in front of Dong Twelve.

"Ah!!" The man with the severed wrist felt the pain and rolled on the ground, blood splattering everywhere, frightening the onlookers who quickly retreated.

Zhao Wu dragged his still-dripping knife, coldly watching Huang Hua and the others in front of him.

Zhao Cheng and Yang Taozhi walked up from behind Dong Shier. Yang Taozhi made a move instantly, knocking down the four men without any hesitation, and quickly stripped off their clothes and put them on Dong Shier and the others.

The move was so swift that few in the arena could actually see it clearly.

Zhao Cheng's gaze fell on Huang Hua's face, revealing a wicked, playboy-like smile. He said, "Send him to jail? Execute him on the spot? You've got some serious official power!"

"Idiot!"

Who are you?
