"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Everyone who comes in is a guest. How can you openly drive them away?"
Zhao Zhong was still guessing the identities of Tian An and others. Just when he had some clues, he looked up and saw Wang Wei trying to drive Tian An and others away. He had to stop them hurriedly. If they were really people of noble status, something big would happen!
He was not worried about Wang Wei's uncle and nephew, but he was simply afraid that the jewelry store would be implicated because of them.
His father was an elder of the Zhao family. Before he died, he told him to take good care of the silver shop for the Zhao family. So over the years, no matter how the Wang family suppressed him, he endured it, just so that one day the real owner of the Zhao family would come back and he could fulfill his father's life wish.
"Get out of the way, don't get in the way." Wang Wei pushed Zhao Zhong hard, then called the other servants to stop him, and walked towards Tian An and the others.
"How about it? Do you want to leave on your own, or do you want me to ask you to leave?"
He looked at Deng Xue and Shi Qin with ill intentions, and said in a vulgar way: "Of course, it's not impossible for me to do it if you want, dear sister, your brother will love you." As he said that, he was about to put his dirty hands towards Shi Qin.
Shiqin was startled and took a step back while pulling her wife. Gu Jinyan also subconsciously pulled Tian An.
After Deng Xue made sure that Tian An, Gu Jinyan and the others were safe, she stepped forward to block the way.
Wang Wei saw this and laughed even more obscenely, "Hey! Is this girl going to throw herself into my arms?"
Deng Xue curled her lips into a smile, then reached out and touched his wrist, which made Wang Wei's heart flutter for a moment.
As a result, the next second, Deng Xue exerted force with her hand, and everyone heard a crisp "click" sound of a joint being dislocated, followed by Wang Wei's scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah... let go, let go, let go, bitch, let go!"
"Okay!" Deng Xue flung her hand, and Wang Wei screamed even louder. "Ah... bitch, I'm going to teach you a lesson."
"Really? I'd like to see how you're going to make me look bad?" As she said that, she raised her foot and kicked Wang Wei to the ground, then stepped directly on his back, causing him to rub against the slippery floor.
"What are you still standing there for? Come on!" Wang Wei knew that he had met a tough opponent today, and he lost all his dignity and hurriedly called on the other servants to help.
Unfortunately, Deng Xue is no longer the Deng Xue who was helpless when surrounded by several bandits in Jinning County.
After Jingyu's careful guidance and her own efforts, she can now fight a professional killer in a one-on-one fight and win a draw.
What's more, these servants are of low quality and can't even be considered guards.
In a matter of minutes, they all lay on the ground wailing.
When the fat and big-eared shopkeeper saw this, he immediately sent someone to report to the police in fear.
"Madam..." Deng Xue looked at Tian An and asked her if she wanted to stop it.
"It's okay, let him go." Tian An said calmly with his arms folded across his chest.
"You, who are you?" The shopkeeper began to panic when he saw that the other party was not afraid to report to the police.
"Who am I? Open your dog eyes and see clearly."
After that, she looked at Zhao Zhong who was thinking hard beside her and said, "Can I go in now?"
Zhao Zhong immediately came back to his senses and said, "Of course, please come in." Then he respectfully led Tian An and the other three into the shop in front of the shopkeeper.
At this moment, he was extremely excited. From the moment Deng Xue took action, he had a premonition that today he might be able to fulfill his father's long-cherished wish.
After all, female guards are rare. As far as he knows, the current wife of Duke Zhao has one.
Zhao Zhong respectfully invited Tian An and the other three to sit at the reception desk in the silver shop hall. He originally wanted to invite them to the VIP room, but Tian An insisted on staying there, so he had no choice but to follow their lead and prepare tea and snacks himself.
When the tea was served, Tian An frowned and pointed at the tea, asking him to pour another glass of boiled water. He did not show any impatience and did it quickly.
Tian An and Gu Jinyan sat at the reception desk, drinking tea and eating snacks leisurely, as if no one was around. However, the shopkeeper and a group of servants in front of them surrounded the four of them tightly as if they were facing a great enemy, waiting for the servant who had reported to the authorities to come back with the yamen runners.
After Zhao Zhong brought the boiled water to Tian An, he looked at the shopkeeper and the others who still looked ignorant, and rolled his eyes, thinking, "You'll be in trouble later."
Then, he stood behind Tian An like Deng Xue.
Deng Xue glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, said nothing, and carefully guarded her surroundings.
Perhaps because of the reputation of Duke Zhao's Mansion, the yamen runners arrived quickly.
Hearing the noise, the shopkeeper went out personally to welcome the yamen runners in.
As soon as they entered the gate, the leading yamen runner shouted at the top of his voice: "Who is causing trouble here? Surrender now!"
Tian An put down the boiled water in his hand, looked at the yamen runner and said, "This county lady is here to take care of some household chores. I'm sorry to bother you, big brother, to run over here."
"County Lady?"
Upon hearing this, the leading yamen runner's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. He came to Tian An respectfully and asked, "Excuse me, which county lord are you?"
Tian An raised his lip and looked at the shopkeeper behind the yamen runner. He said, "This county lady is not talented. I am the Anping County Lady that the shopkeeper's nephew, who is comparable to the young master of the silver shop, has been talking about. She is the yellow-haired girl who can't manage the mansion."
The leading yamen runner was startled, turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, then looked at Tian An, "Excuse me, Madam, do you have any proof?"
Tian An just raised his hand and waved it forward, and Deng Xue immediately took out the county lord's identity token.
The yamen runner looked at Tian An carefully again, and without even daring to go forward and check the token himself, he could conclude that it was real.
There is no way. This person is very famous in all yamen. When he was still a county magistrate, he indirectly replaced several high-ranking officials of the yamen with his own efforts.
From then on, the first thing a new official would do upon taking office was to ask a painter to draw her portrait and have all the officials in the yamen identify it. This was for fear that the officials below would not recognize her and would fall into her hands and harm themselves.
If the man had not been dressed so simply today and had something smeared on his face, he would not have failed to recognize him at the first sight.
"County lady, you are in trouble now. Do you need my help?" The leading yamen runner begged Tian An for orders with an earnest look on his face.
Tian An didn't want him to make a wasted trip, so he pointed at the shopkeeper and Wang Wei and said, "These two servants took advantage of their master's trust in them and embezzled countless amounts of money from the silver shop under our government.
They even claimed to be the owner of this silver shop, bullying customers and damaging the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. I ask the yamen runners to help bring them back to the yamen and conduct a thorough investigation for me."
"What? There's such a thing?"
The yamen runner immediately pointed his gun at the shopkeeper and Wang Wei.
