Dong Hua was speechless, not expecting Zhao Cheng to react this way.
Zhao Cheng rubbed his hands together and laughed, "I was worried that Lu Zhao would bring back news about how much the people of Yanchuan love me, and that they were all eagerly waiting for me to become the imperial son-in-law! Now the people of Yanchuan are ashamed of me, which is excellent! This way, my brother-in-law, the emperor, will feel even more at ease marrying my sister to me!"
Zhao Wu came in from outside and said, "Master, Zheng Hongxiu has sent someone to deliver a message!"
Zhao Cheng quickly got up. Zheng Hongxiu wouldn't contact him unless it was something urgent.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Park Moo-di's matter..."
Zhao Cheng immediately guessed, "Did Invincible cause trouble at the Red Sleeve Pavilion?"
Zhao Wu nodded and said, "Zheng Hongxiu is asking how you will respond."
Zhao Cheng put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth a couple of times.
"Is Park Moo-di alone or with a group of people?"
“A group of people, and some young masters’ thugs.”
"What are you waiting for? Let's fight!"
Zhao Cheng raised his hand and said, "They've brought people here to cause trouble. How is this any different from when Su Wansan came to cause trouble? Tell Zheng Hongxiu not to hold back and to beat them hard, beat them to death, and see who dares to cause trouble at Hongxiu Tower again!"
"Go easy on Wudi!" Zhao Cheng instructed again as Zhao Wu turned around.
Donghua asked, puzzled, "Master, you could have just asked Mama Zheng to send them away. Why did you have to beat them up so badly? These are all young masters. You'll definitely have to pay compensation afterwards, which will be a considerable expense."
After returning to his desk, Zhao Cheng sat down and said with a smile, "Let Mother Zheng beat them up. Firstly, it's to show off and let others know that Hongxiu Tower is not to be trifled with. Whether it's Su Wansan from before or any local bully now, they all have to behave themselves in Hongxiu Tower!"
"Secondly, it's also an opportunity to distance myself from Hongxiu Tower. Park In-di is one of my men, but Zheng Hongxiu showed him no respect whatsoever, beating my man to death. This shows that my relationship with Zheng Hongxiu is only superficial, and I am merely a regular customer of Hongxiu Tower."
Donghua nodded and sighed, "Master really thinks a lot..."
Zhao Cheng said, "There's nothing I can do. After all, I've been to Hongxiu Tower too many times. Last time, I helped Zheng Hongxiu with Su Wansan's matter again, and there are already rumors circulating outside. They're saying all sorts of things. Some people say I'm actually a shareholder of Hongxiu Tower, and Xu Anwei has asked me about it several times. Some people say Zheng Hongxiu is actually from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and some people even say... Zheng Hongxiu and I are having an affair..."
Winter painting: "..."
Evening, outside the Red Sleeve Pavilion.
Park Moo-di, the young master, and their numerous thugs were thrown onto the street. There were more than thirty of them, but once the fight started, they proved to be no match for the others.
Park Moo-di was alright; after getting up, he only felt soreness and numbness all over his body.
Those rich kids fared a bit worse, yelling in pain. The thugs fared even worse, all of them with bruises and swelling, some even covered in blood.
The onlookers pointed and whispered among themselves, all with disdain and amusement.
Park Moo-di felt a little guilty, took out a silver note from his pocket, and said, "Take this and hurry back to treat their injuries."
The young master in front of Park Moo-di pushed the silver note away, saying, "Brother Park, I have money. We're not following you because of your money, but today... you really won't listen to reason!"
Another young master said, "This place is not to be messed with!"
"There have been rumors for a while that Zheng's mother used to be involved in the underworld!"
"She doesn't give the young prime minister any face at all!"
"Go back, go back... Oh dear! Brother Park, farewell. I'll probably have to rest at home for a while!"
Seeing the young masters and their thugs disperse, Park Moo-di also slunk away from the crowd.
He walked alone in the night of Changsui, somewhat dazed.
The scene of the fight was playing in his mind; he saw the thugs from the Red Sleeve Pavilion and the girls making their moves.
Yes, and it wasn't just one girl who made a move!
Even the girls know martial arts...
Is this a brothel or a full-blown brawl?!
Even after she had already mentioned Zhao Cheng's name, Zheng Hongxiu still didn't give her any face.
The Right Chancellor is the highest-ranking person in Yanchuan City, isn't he?
Zhao Cheng has now been appointed as the Victorious General and will soon be the Imperial Son-in-Law. Who in Yanchuan can match the power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?
But Zheng Hongxiu wasn't afraid!
What kind of incredible background does she have?
Thinking about all this, Park Moo-di felt a pang of panic, wondering if he had gone too far and was about to cause trouble for Jo Cheng...
Originally, the Right Prime Minister's residence was just one more street ahead, but Park Moo-di hesitated and turned to walk in the other direction.
He needs to calm down and think about where he went wrong.
"Ah Cheng, out of consideration for our past relationship, gave me the opportunity to make money. He hasn't treated me like a follower yet, but still as a brother. I absolutely cannot let him down!"
"Absolutely not..."
In a daze, Park Moo-di sat down in a small bar and realized that the whole street was lined with bars and late-night snack stalls, with a lot of people coming and going.
He ordered drinks and some late-night snacks, and reviewed the situation while eating.
While eating and drinking, before Park Moo-di could even sort out his thoughts, he was drawn to the noise from across the table.
Four or five men rushed out of the tavern across the street, grabbed a woman by the hair, threw her to the ground, and then punched and kicked her.
The woman's companion tried to pull her away and persuade her to stop, but was slapped to the ground by a burly man and then beaten violently.
The men were extremely ruthless, kicking him in the head and smashing things over his body.
The tavern was in chaos, with sounds of fighting coming from inside.
The two women were also beaten, and after being beaten to the point of near death, they were dragged out by the man.
Four women were beaten, but the perpetrators were nine men!
The leader of the violence was a man who looked to be in his late twenties. He had a fierce face and looked like someone you didn't want to mess with. After beating someone, he continued to grab a woman by the hair and drag her into the alley next to the tavern.
The crowd's expressions varied: some were timid, some were anxious, and some wanted to help but dared not. Immediately, a murmur of discussion arose.
"This could kill someone, go and try to talk them out!"
"These men are all drunk. Anyone who tries to break up a fight will get attacked. Maybe we shouldn't go."
Has anyone notified the inspector?
"I just saw someone running towards the Central Government Office..."
Seeing this, Park Moo-di's face turned bright red with anger. Unable to contain herself any longer, she ran towards the burly man and kicked him.
"Aren't you ashamed for a bunch of grown men to beat up a woman?!"
Park Moo-di kicked the man in the waist, but the man was only knocked back a few steps and did not fall.
Park Moo-di, on the other hand, was knocked to the ground by the shock.
"Who's this meddlesome fellow? Kill him!" the man roared.
The next moment, a group of men pounced on Park Moo-di.
Seeing the men eyeing him menacingly, Park Moo-di quickly got up, but did not run away. He only regretted not having properly learned martial arts from his father.
"Come on! I, Park Invincible, am not afraid of you! I don't hit women, and I'm more manly than you!"
Park Moo-di was immediately overwhelmed by the men's fists and feet.
