Ma Shangtao was so angry he almost spat blood, wishing he could shut his son up.
"You idiot! Shut up!"
Ma Shangtao gritted his teeth, almost squeezing the sound out from between his teeth.
At that moment, Qin Yu's gaze grew even colder.
He glanced at Zhou Xiong and squinted as he spoke.
"That rich kid has such a foul mouth, go slap him twice! Make him rinse his mouth!"
"yes!
As Qin Yu finished speaking, Zhou Xiong strode towards Ma Biao.
Seeing Zhou Xiong approaching him, Ma Biao was terrified!
"Damn it! You dare hit me? My dad is..."
But Zhou Xiong didn't even let him finish speaking before grabbing him!
He slapped her across the face!
With a sharp crack, the blow left Ma Biao dizzy and disoriented, his mouth gushing blood.
"You...you...you still dare to hit me?"
Ma Biao covered his swollen left cheek, staring at Zhou Xiong in utter horror.
He couldn't believe it at all. His father had surrounded these reckless guys with his soldiers, so why did Zhou Xiong still dare to hit him?
Isn't he afraid of dying?
"Damn it! I'm going to chop you up!"
Driven by rage, Ma Biao drew a large knife and, with bloodshot eyes, slashed at Zhou Xiong.
But Zhou Xiong neither dodged nor dodged, showing no fear whatsoever, and calmly watched Ma Biao swing his sword.
Ma Biao screamed madly, gripping a large knife, about to strike Zhou Xiong on the head.
"stop!"
Just then, Ma Shangtao finally couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Ma Biao.
"Father, what are you doing? You're telling me to kill him!"
Ma Biao was grabbed by the arm and cried out in distress.
"You unfilial son! Stop right now!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Ma Shangtao roared at Ma Biao and slapped him across the face, causing him to stagger several steps.
"You unfilial son, shut your mouth! If you dare utter another word, I'll break your legs right now!"
Ma Shangtao roared in exasperation.
Ma Biao touched his burning cheek and was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
He called his father over; it was clearly to get revenge.
Instead of getting his revenge, he got beaten up instead.
The people around were also shocked by the sudden turn of events!
When did this high-ranking and powerful Vice Minister of War become so reasonable?!
Ma Shangtao took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress the anger in his chest, and then slowly hunched over to sit up.
He forced a smile, turned to look at Qin Yu, and was about to explain himself when Qin Yu coldly rebuked him: "Vice Minister of War Ma Shangtao, you've got quite the skills!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent instantly. Everyone stared at Ma Shangtao in astonishment and confusion.
Ma Biao, in particular, was completely stunned, but then he came to his senses and started cursing loudly with his eyes wide open!
"How dare you! How dare you, a mere wretch, address my father by his name?"
"You bastard, shut up!"
Ma Shangtao quickly covered his mouth.
Ma Biao thought that his father was afraid that too many onlookers would damage his reputation, so he had to keep quiet for the time being.
At this moment, Qin Yu continued coldly.
“Ma Shangtao, you have allowed your son to oppress the people, harm the common folk, and disregard human life. Have you ever considered whether His Majesty the Emperor will forgive you for such crimes? Can the common people tolerate you?”
Upon hearing this, Ma Shangtao trembled violently.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably, as if he were being tortured and could barely stand.
Qin Yu's voice was calm, but his words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
The surrounding people stared wide-eyed upon hearing this.
"My God, did I hear that right? That young man is actually publicly criticizing Lord Ma?"
"This is terrible! What a waste of this scholar's talent. Lord Ma is notoriously ruthless!"
"Alas! Speaking out for justice with such fervor, this scholar is truly admirable! We must give him a proper burial and a grand funeral to this brave warrior who spoke out for the people!"
The way everyone looked at Qin Yu now carried a hint of admiration!
But Ma Biao didn't think so.
He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly repeatedly!
He was convinced that this kid dared to be so reckless because his father cared about his official reputation.
Otherwise, where would this little bastard get the guts to provoke him?
Even so, he still couldn't escape death!
Bai Ruyan, who was standing beside Qin Yu, was also utterly shocked by his words.
She suddenly realized that she admired this man more and more.
Just then, Qin Yu turned his head again and looked at Bai Ruyan.
"Miss Bai, could you please prepare an empty room for me?"
Bai Ruyan nodded and then gave the instructions.
Qin Yu turned to look at Zhou Hu, his gaze gradually turning cold, and said in a low voice.
"Guard the gate well. I'm going to teach this corrupt official a lesson later."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hu immediately understood what he meant.
He took a step back, then turned and left.
Upon seeing this, Ma Biao immediately sneered.
He thought Qin Yu was scared and was preparing to have people evacuate first.
But just as he was about to remind his father to quickly surround Yunshuijian.
Qin Yu said coldly, "Ma Shangtao, bring your son in!"
Before he finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped into the Cloud and Water Pavilion.
At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.
Everyone was stunned!
I could hardly believe my ears! Even at this point, this scholar still dared to be so defiant!
"Dad, that kid's chickened out. He'll probably beg for mercy and apologize to us in private. Dad! Let's go. You absolutely can't let that kid go."
Ma Biao rubbed his hands excitedly as he spoke.
But Ma Shangtao ignored him and glared at him through gritted teeth.
Then, feeling his father's gaze, Ma Biao quickly shut his mouth again.
He was extremely puzzled. His father was usually not so concerned about his reputation, so why was he so reluctant to let him shout in public today?
Although he didn't understand, Ma Biao had no choice but to endure it to avoid being slapped again.
Soon, Ma Shangtao brought his son to the empty house.
After entering the room, Qin Yu sat down and looked coldly at the father and son.
Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Ma Biao couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
"Kid! Are you planning to come and kowtow to me in private and apologize?"
"You dare to go against me! You must have some connections, right? But let me tell you the truth! My father is backed by Prime Minister Sima!"
"That's a figure even the Emperor fears, and he's about to replace him!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Shangtao, who entered later, stumbled and nearly collapsed to the ground.
"You unfilial son, you unfilial son, I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Ma Shangtao roared angrily.
He grabbed Ma Biao by the collar.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Several slaps landed on his face, making Ma Biao scream in agony.
Ma Biao's face became swollen and red, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, making him look extremely miserable!
