The people around were also shocked, wondering where this hothead Ning Ye came from. He had been warned beforehand, yet he still dared to do this.
Everyone thought Ning Ye was doomed today. Daring to do such a thing was like kicking a hot plate and courting death.
"Kid, I'm giving you a chance now. Kneel down and admit your mistake right now and I'll let you go. Otherwise, things won't be so easy today."
Ning Ye crossed his arms and said, "I'm naturally a bit tougher than others, and I've never knelt before. Besides, I'd really like to see why you won't let me leave."
Huang Shan's patience had been worn down. He had already gone through the list in his mind and knew that there was absolutely no one named Ning Ye in Qingyuan County or the surrounding area.
That means Ning Ye poses no threat to him, so there's nothing more to say.
"Come on, loosen his muscles and let him know that there are some people and things that he can't control, and even if he speaks up, it's a crime."
These two burly servants, stretching their arms, approached Ning Ye. They were clearly not good people; they had often helped the wicked.
The two of them immediately targeted the lowest of the low; their moves were undeniably insidious.
They might not mind bullying ordinary people normally, but today they really kicked a hornet's nest.
Before the onlookers could even see clearly, Ning Ye's two hands were already on their necks, and his thin body suddenly unleashed an extremely terrifying power.
In just one exchange, the two servants were already on the verge of collapse, and the young master Huang from Huangshan hadn't even had time to wipe the arrogant smile from his lips.
Ning Ye stretched his body. "Young Master Huang, are you going to continue arguing with me, or would you like to end this here for today and settle things another day?"
Huang Shan subconsciously swallowed. "So what if you're skilled? You can take on two people, but do you think you can take on twenty?"
“Young Master Wang, you only brought two people with you. If you insist on arguing about it, I don’t mind arguing with you slowly.”
Fortunately, Huangshan wasn't completely out of his mind to do anything foolish. A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can't afford to lose.
As Huang Shan departed, Ning Ye glanced at the onlookers around him and said, "If you all feel you haven't seen enough, you can wait here. Maybe Young Master Huang will return with his men soon, and then you might all be part of the group."
Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been in shock just moments before, immediately turned tail and ran. If they were really implicated, they would have nowhere to turn to cry.
Zhang Zihe said, "Young master, you'd better leave quickly. That guy Huang Shan is vengeful and will definitely not let you go. I'll stay here to buy you some time. You should run for your life."
Ning Ye raised an eyebrow. "If I run away now and you stay here, all the anger will be vented on you. According to you, you might die."
Zhang Zihe said calmly, "Young master just stood up for me. I'm already very satisfied that I was able to do something for you. Please leave quickly!"
"Hmm, with your words, I feel that my money was well spent. Alright, Huangshan is nothing to me. Pack your things and come with me. You can't break your promise to me. From now on, you'll be working for me."
Ning Ye's words were indeed somewhat arrogant, but it didn't matter. If he was afraid of even a rich kid, he wouldn't be able to survive in the future.
While Zhang Zihe was still in a daze, Ning Ye pulled him up, saying, "Besides, this isn't a place for chatting. I'll help you take your father with you."
The two left without attracting much attention, since the onlookers had all been scared away by Ning Ye.
So although some people saw the two leaving, they didn't pay much attention and will probably forget about it soon.
On the way back, Ning Ye also carefully inquired about who Zhang Zihe was, since it would be a problem if he didn't know.
It turns out that Zhang Zihe was not originally from Qingyuan County. He moved here specifically because he heard that it was easier to pass the imperial examinations in this remote place.
However, just a few years later, unexpectedly, my pretty younger sister caught the eye of Huang Shan, which led to the destruction of our family and the death of our members.
Even so, Huangshan still had no intention of letting them go, which is why today's events occurred.
If Ning Ye hadn't intervened, today would probably have been the day Zhang Zihe and Huang Shan fought to the death, since the hatred between the two had long since reached a point where there was no room for reconciliation.
As for his academic knowledge, Zhang Zihe was very confident. He was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise he would not have dared to take the imperial examinations.
He excels at arithmetic and other arithmetic tasks with ease; there's almost nothing he feels he can't do. It seems a bit unreasonable for someone like that not to have some real talent.
Of course, whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll have to take it out for a spin, and we'll find out when we get back.
Even if Zhang Zihe doesn't know anything, as long as he can read and write, he will be of great use to Ning Ye. After all, he should teach the people under his command properly.
Knowing only martial arts skills is not a real ability; one must also be proficient in reading and writing.
A truly elite force needs to be developed from all aspects, and the oldest of Ning Ye's men are only in their twenties, so there's still time.
When Ning Ye returned to the pharmacy, his men had already been bandaged up, and the necessary medicines were also ready.
To avoid conflict with Huangshan right now, Ning Ye led his men and their spoils to the abandoned house in the east of the city.
It must be said that Wang Mingyuan's ambition was quite grand. Although this abandoned house in the east of the city was outside the city, it was by no means small, and it was almost as big as a mountain villa.
It's clear how wealthy the people who lived here before were.
Everything was moved into the house. Although it hadn't been maintained for a while, it wasn't overgrown with weeds. However, the bloodstains, now completely black, told the story of what had happened there.
In order to make the place habitable, Ning Ye could only prepare a few large rooms first. As for the rest of the house, he instructed Wang Wu and the others to prepare it slowly until the entire mansion was completely cleaned up.
