The commoner was kicked to the ground by the servant. Although he was clutching his chest and showing pain, he heard his sister's cry for help from inside. He still endured the pain and got up from the ground, saying weakly:
"Ahem... you guys are forcibly taking my daughter like this... it's simply... lawless... ahem..."
Upon hearing this, the servant was about to have him thrown out when he suddenly saw two yamen runners in blue uniforms coming up.
"What happened?"
The man in plain clothes lying on the ground looked towards the two men upon hearing this. When he saw what they were wearing, he immediately grabbed the yamen runner's trouser legs as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Sir, help me! That bully tied my sister up and pinned her to the bed. Please, sir, save my sister!"
"You're so abhorrent that you're trying to rape a woman and commit such a crime!" One of the yamen runners had just finished saying this when another one was about to push the tightly closed door open. The servant immediately stopped him, "My young master has given orders. Without his permission, no one is allowed to do anything..."
Before the servant could finish his words, the yamen runner pushed him away and said, "I am Tang Zhongting, a yamen runner from the Xingzheng Division. Your master raped a woman in broad daylight, so this matter is naturally under my jurisdiction."
After saying that, the yamen runner Tang Zhongting kicked the tightly closed door of the wing room open. When he saw the bully holding the girl down, he shouted angrily, "Let go of that girl!"
Before Xu Chengxuan could react, the man grabbed his collar and threw him to the ground, holding him down.
"Wuwuwu..." The girl, whose clothes were mostly torn open, huddled on the bed trembling, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't be afraid, girl! I'm here to save you." After Tang Zhongting finished speaking, the naked-chested bully Xu Chengxuan was about to punch him in the face, but he quickly held him down.
"You raped a woman and tried to commit adultery, and even attempted to attack a yamen officer. You're going to be jailed today!"
"Hahahaha..." Xu Chengxuan, who was pinned to the ground, was not afraid at all when he heard the yamen runner's words. He laughed loudly, "Ha? You're just a yamen runner, a nobody, you dare to put me in jail? Do you know who my father is?"
"I don't care who your father is, just come back to the government office with me!"
Afterwards, Xu Chengxuan was grabbed by the arms and forced out of the room.
"younger sister!"
"Brother." The girl was brought out with clothes on. When she saw her brother who was beaten black and blue, her eyes turned red again.
Wanwan: [As expected, evildoers will be punished. Dad, you're a step too late. You should be more proactive next time.]
The tyrant picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. He didn't need to personally deal with such a small matter. He was quite confident in the country he governed.
After all, they eat public food, and it is their duty to punish evil and arrest criminals.
[However, according to the routine, this matter shouldn't end so easily. Judging from the arrogant look of that evil slave just now, that bully is probably from a rather powerful background.]
If there is no backing behind him, how could he do such a thing? I am afraid that there are officials protecting him, and the one who will suffer the consequences is the diligent little yamen runner.
[And just now, I saw that evil slave quietly run out. He must have gone to get help.]
The tyrant who heard Wanwan's inner thoughts thought that this little brat was overthinking it. He governed Dongming in such an orderly manner, how could such a thing as officials protecting each other exist, unless they wanted to lose their heads.
"That's him!" The tyrant was thinking when he suddenly heard a voice. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw the servant who had just quietly slipped away coming back with a group of people behind him. "It was this little yamen runner who dared to kidnap our young master!"
When Master Zhang, who was following the evil slave, saw this, his expression immediately changed and he said, "You two blind men, why don't you let Master Xu go!"
Tang Zhongting, the yamen runner who was holding down the bully who had committed the crime, had not yet understood why Lord Zhang asked him to let go of the bully. He saw several yamen runners who came with Lord Zhang come forward, push him away, and untie the bully.
"Heh." The bully stared at him intently, with a sneer in his eyes, as if he was mocking his arrogance.
"Hurry up and put some clothes on Master Xu." Master Zhang diligently put the clothes on the bully and said flatteringly, "Master Xu, calm down. These two young yamen runners are new and don't know the rules. I hope Master Xu will forgive their small offense and not bother with these ignorant people."
After Master Zhang finished speaking, he immediately changed his expression and said to the two of them, "Why don't you two come over here and kowtow to Master Xu and admit your mistakes!"
Yamen runner Tang Zhongting: "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"
Master Zhang said in disbelief: "Oh, you blind man..."
"It was clearly this Mr. Xu who abducted the woman and forcibly brought her into the house with ill intentions. Why do you favor this offender, sir?"
The man in plain clothes beside him hugged his trembling sister and said, "Yes, this bully forcibly brought my sister into the house. Why did the adults favor this bully?"
"Stop your slanderous lies against my young master!" the servant said. "It's clearly your sister who saw that my young master was handsome and wealthy, and tried to seduce him. But she failed, so she slandered him!"
The onlookers present looked at the fat young master of the Xu family and fell into deep thought.
"You're talking nonsense. My sister and I make a living selling our craft on the street. You brought us here because you said your young master wanted to see us perform. I just went out to get something, and when I came back I saw your young master holding my sister down."
The evil slave said, "You mean my young master is attracted to your sister? Oh, who is our young master? He is the son of the Grand Marshal of the dynasty. How could he be attracted to a lowly person like you?"
Mr. Zhang: "Yes, Young Master Xu is of such status that he would fall for your sister. In my opinion, you two, brother and sister, are the ones who framed her. Someone, arrest both of you and bring you back to the yamen for punishment."
[Listen to what people say! Corrupt official! This is definitely a corrupt official!]
[But the corrupt official and that kid called a dead horse are done for. You dare to collude under my scumbag father's nose? You will die.]
Mr. Zhang walked to the door with a fawning look on his face and made a gesture of invitation to Mr. Xu. However, as Mr. Xu just walked out of the door, a dark shadow fell.
Before Mr. Xu could understand what was happening, Tan Wei kicked him back in.
Because the speed was so fast, by the time everyone reacted, Master Xu had already fallen to his knees in front of the tyrant.
Tan Wei stood beside the tyrant and stood up respectfully.
The evil slave was the first to react, pointing at the tyrant and saying, "How dare you! You, a lowly person from somewhere, dare..."
Before the evil slave could finish his words, he felt a flash of white light before his eyes. He saw the man who kicked his young master put away the sword with an indifferent expression. Then he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He saw that his finger was cut in half, and the glaring blood came into his eyes.
"ah--"
