900 Black Hands, Lord Zhai’s Official Power
Zuo An has never been an easy-going person, but under Wang Jinling's insistence, Zuo An actually took action without saying a word or putting forward any conditions, leaving Feng Qingchen stunned.
"Is Zuo An so easy to talk to?" Feng Qingchen knew very well how difficult Zuo An was. In order to get Zuo An to her side, she had put in a lot of effort.
"He's not difficult to talk to, but he's not easy to talk to either." Wang Jinling pointed at Zuo An's background and said affirmatively, "He's a simple person. His nature is very similar to your apprentice, so I say, if he's willing, then he can do it. That's all."
"Zuo An is not simple at all. He is very smart. He is only like that in front of you." If she and the Ninth Prince want Zuo An to take action, they have to pay real money.
“That’s because I didn’t treat him as a killer, nor did I treat him as a trading partner. So in Zuo’an’s eyes, I’m not an employer, but just an ordinary person. If I ask, Zuo’an will take action if he is willing, and won’t take action if he is not willing, and I won’t say anything more.” Simple people have a clearer sense of right and wrong, and a clearer positioning of each person.
Zuo An treated the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen as trading partners, so if the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen wanted him to take action, he would have to pay the corresponding price.
"Well... then I'm at a big loss." If she had known it was so simple, why would she have bothered with all that? She could have just asked Zuo An to protect her.
Wang Jinling didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You think Zuo An is an idiot. Taking action to settle things outside and protecting you are completely different concepts. For him, the former is just a matter of raising his hand, while the latter is a hassle.
To Zuo An, you, who are being hunted by all the assassins in Kyushu Continent, are definitely a big trouble. He should be a person who hates trouble, so if you are not valuable enough, he will not take over your trouble. You should be grateful that Zuo An is willing to treat you as a transaction object instead of an object to be killed. "
"Okay, you do have a point. Protecting me is indeed a big problem for Zuo An. If he takes on the task of protecting me, it means that he is standing on the opposite side of the entire Killer Alliance." Thinking in this way, she actually got a big advantage.
"It's good that you know it. You should be content to have Zuo An as your personal bodyguard." Even Wang Jinling had to admit that the Ninth Prince did the right thing.
With Zuo An here, they don't have to worry about Feng Qingchen's safety. Wang Jinling shifted his gaze to the outside of Feng Mansion.
Ye Ye was already injured, and was extremely sad about the death of his father. After being shaken away by Zuo An, he fainted. The Yecheng guards were leaderless, and with Zuo An's attack, the Yecheng guards were quickly defeated and retreated one by one. They had no intention of fighting anymore, and the melee outside the Feng Mansion was soon settled.
When Zhai Dongming came over, the people from Feng Mansion and Yecheng had stopped fighting. Zuo An had disappeared. The guards from Feng Mansion and Yecheng were on each side, hostile to each other but no one took action.
"Am I here too early?" Zhai Dongming dismounted from his horse with great momentum, followed by a team of infantrymen. As soon as he got off the horse, the adjutant behind him came forward and took the whip from his hand.
This official awe... reminded Feng Qingchen of Zhai Dongming's performance in Feng Mansion on New Year's Eve. This child was becoming more and more pretentious. Feng Qingchen shook his head and walked out obediently: "Meetings, Lord Zhai."
"No need to be so polite." Zhai Dongming raised his hand, full of official authority, and with his expressionless face, it really looked like the real thing.
If she had not walked closer and seen Zhai Dongming winking at her, Feng Qingchen would have suspected that the erratic Prince Zhai had been tamed by Prince Su and was preparing for a good career in officialdom.
"Thank you, sir." Feng Qingchen stood up and stood aside, making way for Lord Zhai Dongming.
Zhai Dongming walked between the Feng Mansion guards and the Night City guards, and coldly glanced at the people on both sides. When he saw Wang Jinling standing in the Feng Mansion, his eyes widened. He raised his leg and wanted to walk into the Feng Mansion, but the adjutant behind him seemed to be able to predict the situation and spoke first: "Sir, someone has reported to the police that there is a group of people fighting outside the Feng Mansion."
This is to remind Zhai Dongming that official business is important.
"Ahem~" Zhai Dongming took his leg back and said with a stern face, "Who is so bold as to start a fight in front of the Loyalty Marquis's mansion?"
When these words were spoken, it was clear that they were biased towards Feng Qingchen. The people of Yecheng were not happy when they heard this, but their young master was not awake yet, so only a young general stepped forward.
"Yecheng Qingnan Qi Yan Yifei greets Lord Zhai."
Zhai Dongming used to look at people with his nose, but after hearing the other party's self-introduction, he looked at him seriously: "Qingnanqi, the archer of Yecheng?"
"Yes." Yan Yifei was full of energy and proud of his cavalry.
"Not bad, not bad." Zhai Dongming also nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't expect that Young Master Ye would have such a person by his side. But with a person like you by his side, how could Young Master Ye do such a stupid thing."
Although he admired her, Zhai Dongming was still unreasonable. He only helped his relatives and not others. Not to mention that Wang Jinling was still here, even if Wang Jinling was not here, he would have to help Feng Qingchen, otherwise Wang Jinling would definitely remember him afterwards.
"Please forgive me, sir. My young master was devastated by the loss of his father. He is a little mentally unclear and has been acting impulsively. Please also consider that my city lord just died outside the city and don't bother with my young master." This Yan Yifei was definitely a big shot. In just a few words, he revealed the matter of Ye Ye leading people to attack Feng Mansion.
His father just died, and he died in your Dongling territory, so it is understandable that he acted excessively. If you can't understand it, then it's too inhumane.
Zhai Dongming was so depressed by this that he said with a fake smile: "Yan Tieqi, you are too serious. Young Master Ye is a man of temperament and I know that he acts without thinking. However, a country has its own laws and a family has its own rules. If everyone is like Young Master Ye, Dongling will be in chaos."
"Lord Zhai is right. A country has its own laws and a family has its own rules. My young master acted impulsively and has been beaten by the people from the Feng Mansion. He is unconscious. One day I, Ye Cheng, will come to apologize and make amends to Miss Feng." What he meant was that although we were wrong first, we also paid a price. Although it happened in Dongling, it is also the Ye family's family affair and should be handled according to the family rules.
This eloquence is really extraordinary. The corners of Zhai Dongming's mouth twitched. The adjutant secretly pulled Zhai Dongming's clothes, signaling him to calm down. The most important thing is to maintain fairness and justice on the surface, otherwise they will suffer more if the matter is reported to the emperor.
Huhu... Zhai Dongming suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Feng Qingchen with his eyes whether he wanted to arrest the man. As long as Feng Qingchen wanted, he would immediately send Ye Ye to the jail.
Feng Qingchen thought about it and shook his head.
Taking down Ye Ye now would not solve the problem at all. Ye Ye was already on the side that people sympathized with. If Zhai Dongming took down Ye Ye again, it would just give Ye Ye more reasons to complain and make people sympathize with him even more. Why would she seek temporary pleasure and give Ye Ye more reasons to deal with her?
Besides, in this matter, her real opponent is not Ye Ye, but the person who framed her behind the scenes...
