The leader of the Yang family was now consumed by rage; they were all useless!
You can't even handle something this simple!
He looked at the general's steward and said with a forced smile:
"We are from the Yang State Duke's Mansion, and we have come here today specifically to arrest the murderer who dared to harm our young lady! Surely this steward knows what to do, right?"
Butler Wu had just received a report from the gatekeeper when he learned of the Yang family's purpose.
The general had instructed him yesterday that if the Yang family dared to cause trouble, he should not be polite.
Behind him stood a squad of eight guards from the general's mansion, all of whom were veterans of countless battles.
When it came to facing the Yang family's henchmen, Steward Wu was not holding back at all.
"If your Yang family wants to catch the murderer, there's no reason for you to come to our General's Mansion. You must have come to the wrong place!"
Butler Wu feigned surprise.
The leader snorted coldly:
"We saw who shot our young lady; it was a woman! Someone from your General's Mansion!"
"Oh? You saw that person's face? Do you have any witnesses? You say he's from our General's Mansion? I'd say your Yang family is framing our General's Mansion!"
The leader raised his eyebrows.
"So what if I didn't see her face? Apart from your General's Mansion, who else has a grudge against our young lady? I think you're just wantonly taking revenge on the Yang family!"
"You've convicted our General's Mansion based solely on these unfounded speculations. Even if this were taken to the authorities, it wouldn't be convincing!"
Despite the man's cold words, Butler Wu remained unmoved.
"Once we go in and catch her, we'll make her tell the truth! You're just a lowly steward; I advise you not to go against the Yang family!"
The leader was getting impatient and directly threatened Butler Wu.
If he were sensible, he would obediently invite them in. Otherwise, if he angered the Duke's mansion, could a mere steward bear the consequences?
"This land doesn't belong to the Yang family. How can you convict people so arbitrarily and run a one-man show? Is this how the Duke teaches his subordinates?"
Seeing that Steward Wu was unmoved by reason, the leader decided to stop being polite and instead resorted to force, ordering his men to break in.
He was confident that even if the Prince of Cheng knew about this, he wouldn't blame them. After all, compared to the General's Mansion, even a fool would choose the Duke's Mansion.
Once King Cheng abandons Tang Jian, their General's Mansion will be nothing but a drowning dog. Let's see how arrogant they can be then.
When Butler Wu saw his arrogant appearance, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"You dare to trespass on the General's mansion? Don't blame us for being impolite!"
The leader looked disdainful; he had brought more than 20 skilled men with him! What was there to fear from those few brutes behind him?
"All of you, charge!"
Butler Wu waved to the guards behind him, and the guards, each agile, immediately engaged the Yang family group.
The common people, who were secretly watching from a distance, were still worried that the people from the general's mansion might not be able to withstand the attack.
After all, Tang Jian was a great hero who had always protected their Ganzhou, so their hearts naturally sided with the Tang family.
The leader of the Yang family thought that with their numbers, dealing with the people from the General's Mansion would be a piece of cake.
Who knew the guards of the general's mansion would be so powerful? One of them could easily take on all three of them!
The scene was one-sided.
Watching as the men he brought were quickly and easily knocked to the ground by the guards, all screaming and unable to get up.
The leader was furious; these people had completely humiliated him!
He drew a knife from behind his back and charged at Butler Wu.
