A fat, middle-aged man with big ears ran out, followed by several beautiful women.
"Sir, who is it that dares to cause trouble here? They must have a death wish."
"That's right, don't they know who the master is? The master is the emperor's man."
"That's right. If they offend the master, and he says a few words to the emperor, these people will all lose their lives."
Three young women followed gracefully.
However, Jing Le and the others heard their conversation clearly.
[Father is being used by someone to bully others; huh, they're really audacious.]
This is a perfect example of the saying, "When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king."
Jing Le's eyes were cold; she wouldn't tolerate these traitors.
The Third Prince and his companions shared the same expression, their eyes coldly fixed on the group.
Third Prince: No wonder Father's reputation has been so bad all these years, it's all because of these scoundrels.
"You're the ones who kicked down this gate?"
The fat, big-eared man stared fiercely at Jing Le and the others, then said:
“Do you know whose territory this is? I tell you, this is the current emperor’s villa.”
"You dare to act so presumptuously here? Don't you want to live?"
"Pay up the money now, or I'll take you to the authorities and have you all arrested."
The Third Prince was furious; this bastard actually tried to turn the tables on him.
They really treat this place like their own home.
Just as he was about to speak, Jing Le tugged at his sleeve, stopping him.
"Sir, how do you want to compensate us? And how much? We don't have much money."
Jing Le had an innocent and naive look on her face, oblivious to the ways of the world.
She has the typical air of a young lady from a wealthy family.
The fat man's eyes flashed with greed as he noticed that Jing Le and his group were all young and well-dressed.
You can tell at a glance that they are young masters and ladies from some wealthy family out having fun.
Their family is definitely not short of money.
"Hehe, little kid, for your sake, I won't ask for more than you, this is the amount."
The man held up five fingers, waved them in front of Jing Le and the others, smiled maliciously, and then said:
"If you give it to me, then this matter will be over, how about it?"
"50 taels?"
Jing Le glanced at the other person's filthy hands and black fingernails, and silently took a few steps back.
[This person is so careless! It's been days since they washed their hands, ugh...]
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince and Duan Feibai took a few steps back, their eyes also catching sight of the man's hand, and they were instantly disgusted.
His face looked even worse.
The fat, big-eared man's face darkened the moment he saw Jing Le say 50 taels, and when he saw the disgusted expressions on the faces of the Third Prince and the other man, he became furious.
He finally managed to kill that unlucky guy and then took over this nice villa for himself.
He's been acting like a tyrant here for a while now, and even people from other courtyards have to give him some respect.
Who told him to have the emperor backing him up?
The look these people were giving him now was one of disgust, a look he had seen for decades and was all too familiar with.
His face darkened instantly, and he said arrogantly, "It's five thousand taels, not a single coin less."
"Hurry up and give me the money, or I'll throw you all in jail. What are you looking at? I'm talking to you."
The last sentence was spoken to the Third Prince.
"Oh dear, sir, please don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, I'll be heartbroken."
The woman behind him immediately stepped forward to comfort him, throwing herself into his arms in a sweet, delicate manner, creating a scene reminiscent of "Beauty and the Beast."
Jing Le was amazed by what she saw.
[How could someone be so cruel as to eat such a delicate beauty? All those good cabbages have been devoured by this fat pig, and he even took three of them! It's absolutely outrageous!]
Who can argue with that? This fat pig has been abusing his power and bullying men and women under the guise of the Emperor.
"Shadow Three, take this guy to see the officials. Let's go in."
Jing Le was too lazy to pay attention to this fat pig. After giving an order, he led the others inside.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you think you're doing? Let me tell you, I have the Emperor standing behind me. If you dare to touch me, believe me, I'll make you regret it."
The man panicked when he saw Shadow Three walking towards him, but he still kept threatening him:
"If you honestly compensate me with the money, I will let this matter go today."
Even when faced with danger, a greedy person cannot forget their greedy nature.
"Ouch, let go! It hurts! Let go of me! If you don't, I'll make you regret it..."
Without further ado, Shadow Three used a grappling technique to throw the obese man to the ground, rendering him completely immobile.
The man was still shouting when Shadow Six grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Mmm...mmm..."
"It's finally quiet. Let's go, Master."
Shadow Six clapped his hands, having accomplished his mission, and made his retirement.
"ah..."
The three beautiful women were terrified by the scene before them and scattered like birds.
Ying San carried the man to the yamen, while Jing Le and the others finally entered the courtyard.
Fifteen minutes later.
An open space in a separate courtyard.
"Is everyone here?"
Shadow Six gathered all the other people in the villa together.
"Everyone, everyone's here."
The person who answered was a middle-aged man who looked honest and unassuming.
"This villa belongs to the current emperor, as you all know."
Shadow Six glanced around and spoke in a deep voice.
"I know, I know." Xu Dahai
"This is Princess Anle, who is now the mistress of this place."
