Chapter 139 Yao'er, is tearing this place down enough to vent your anger?
"Open the door! Open the door!"
When Zhou Congxian climbed in through the window, he saw Yao Shisan blocking the door.
Someone outside was banging on the door menacingly.
Zhou Congxian immediately grabbed a scholar, opened the door, and met the gaze of the burly thugs outside.
These rooms aren't for VIPs; they're just for ordinary people. When thugs search for runaway newcomers, the people in these rooms aren't afraid.
"What are you banging on? Do you want to meddle in family matters?!"
Zhou Congxian tossed the scholar onto the bamboo couch beside him, then turned to Yao Shisan behind him and said, "Break off the engagement. Go back and break it off. You're not even studying properly."
The thug leader glanced at the two men, then stepped aside to let the men behind him step forward.
"Look closely, are those the two people?"
Behind him was the maid who had been knocked unconscious by the drunkard. The wound on the maid's forehead had scabbed over and hadn't been bandaged before she was dragged over to help search for people.
When the maid saw the two people, her pupils dilated immediately. "It's them!"
They were simply dressed when they were brought here, but they were very good-looking, so she definitely remembered those two faces.
The thug's fleshy face twitched. "Arrest him!"
Zhou Congxian grabbed and broke the arm of one of the thugs who rushed in, dislocating him!
The thug clutched his arm and wailed.
He glanced coldly at the group and said, "Take a good look, and make sure you don't offend the wrong people."
The maid hesitated for a moment. This person was not only swift in action, but also different in manner from those who had been kidnapped before.
The thug leader also figured it out, but this man's hands were neither like those of pampered nobles, nor were they as rough and cracked as those of people who had done hard labor.
You can tell they've done manual labor before, just not much.
The woman behind her, however, looked more like a girl from a wealthy family.
But there are plenty of rich girls in this building. Zhenzhen, the girl in the small building, tried to kill herself countless times, but now she has accepted her fate.
The thug leader suspected that the woman was a young lady and the man was a bodyguard.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the little maid, "Look carefully, don't forget Sister Hong's rules."
The young maid seemed to have thought of something terrifying, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes.
"Yes, it's them. I didn't mistake them for someone else."
Yao Shisan gripped his sleeve tightly, his lips turning pale.
As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, and Zhou Congxian came to Chuzhou under a false identity.
"Hmph, there's no one in Lingge that we can't afford to offend right now."
The thug leader stepped back a few paces, clearing the doorway. "Attack him all at once! This guy's got some skills!"
Zhou Congxian grabbed a lamp stand from the wall and swung it at the people rushing in.
The muscle-relaxing powder in his body had almost dissipated, and these people were only enough for him to loosen up his muscles and bones.
The sounds of fighting on the third floor grew louder and louder, and many people peeked out.
Lingge has strict rules, and such things rarely happen.
Five or six thugs lay on the ground groaning in pain, while the drunken scholars inside remained motionless.
Zhou Congxian led Yao Shisan away.
The maid who pointed it out was terrified.
How could the person she was guarding be such a formidable individual...?
With one less person in her hands, how could she possibly escape Sister Hong's punishment?
She was going to die either way, so she was fighting for her own life.
"Quickly call her Sister Hong! The new guy is trying to run away!"
The maid's voice was shrill and loud!
Zhou Congxian walked briskly, and Yao Shisan watched his back as he stood firmly in front of her.
It was as if all other sounds had disappeared, except for the sound of his footsteps leading her forward.
When did he ever protect her like this back in the capital?
Her lips twitched slightly.
He said that his vow to protect himself for life was ineffective in the capital, but only useful outside.
"Quick! Stop them!"
The thug leader, clutching his chest, rushed down.
A dozen thugs surrounded them.
The commotion here has already alerted Xiaolou.
Sister Hong frowned and ordered the people beside her, "You can't even catch one person! You've disturbed the important guests, you'll all lose your heads!"
The maid beside her looked panicked. "Sister Hong, the people below say she's a tough one and they can't handle her."
Hongjie straightened up and then bowed slightly. "Please drink well, my lord. I have some small matters to attend to."
Gongsun Chang didn't even look at her; he simply raised his hand and waved it outwards with the back of his hand facing outwards.
Sister Hong got up and left.
"What's going on? Who's causing trouble?" She walked quickly.
"They're the people who were brought in today." The maid followed closely behind.
This is the first time I've encountered someone so new who could cause such a commotion.
As soon as Sister Hong came downstairs, she saw that all the flowers she had carefully nurtured had been destroyed!
The man standing in the center was dressed in a black brocade robe with wide sleeves, and the lapel was embroidered with auspicious clouds in gold thread.
His face was as cold as frost, and then he threw a knife away.
"Who else!"
He was surrounded by Lingge thugs who had been beaten to the ground.
The henchman immediately rushed over to Sister Hong upon seeing her, exclaiming, "Sister Hong! This man's kung fu is incredible; none of us can match him!"
"Him?!" Sister Hong looked at the imposing figure in front of her; he didn't look like one of the two people who had been brought in at all.
Zhou Congxian turned his head and looked over.
When Sister Hong saw his face, she finally believed that this was the person who had been sent.
"Did they arrest the wrong person?"
The maid has been in Lingge for several years and has seen very few people come and go.
How could someone with such magnanimity come from a poor family?
Sister Hong frowned as well, "Didn't you even find out their identity before sending them here!"
The maidservant said, "It was sent by the young lady. There is only information about a man. He is from Dengzhou and his name is Zhao Tieniu. He seems to be an ordinary farmer."
Hongjie clenched her teeth, "Would an ordinary farmer have such extraordinary skills?"
"Since he has already changed his clothes, let's just pretend it was a mistake. We can't disturb our distinguished guest. I'll explain to the young lady myself."
The maid immediately understood and ordered the thugs to clear everyone away.
Sister Hong then stepped forward with a smile, "It's all a misunderstanding. The servants were blind."
"They really don't have eyes, and neither do the madams of this brothel."
Zhou Congxian reached out and smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeve.
Hongjie's eyes twitched. This person spoke Beijing dialect, with the exact same accent as Lord Chai.
This Zhao Tieniu from Dengzhou is just a fake travel permit!
"Young master, please don't be angry. You have come all the way from the capital. It is my fault for not being a good host. Please take a seat. Today's expenses are all waived as an apology from me."
"Apologize?" Zhou Congxian glanced at her coldly. "Fine—"
He drew out the last syllable of his voice as he looked at Yao Shisan, "Yao'er, is tearing this place down enough to vent your anger?"
"Not enough!" Yao Shisan played along, looking so angry that his eyes were red!
"When have I ever suffered like this!"
Unable to ascertain their identities, Sister Hong could only probe, "It was the servants' ignorance, young master. Please forgive us. Lord Chai Sijiu is also drinking in the pavilion right now. Why don't you..."
"Chai Sijiu," Zhou Congxian sneered, "Marquis Chai sent him to Chuzhou for training, but he's just here to indulge in debauchery!"
"Perfect, let's take care of your place at the same time!"
Hongjie now understands that she has kicked a hornet's nest.
She led the two to a side room on the first floor of the small building, and then sent someone to the third floor to invite Chai Sijiu.
"Young master and young lady, please calm down!"
Sister Hong knew this matter might not end well; she could no longer cover up the young lady's mistake this time and had to report it to the head of the household.
"Oh! Lord Zhou, what are you doing here? You came all the way to Chuzhou but didn't even visit my residence!"
Chai Sijiu looked astonished, as if she had just seen him.
The two have already discussed it.
Now, the owner of Lingge has to offend someone he can't afford to offend, and he doesn't dare let Gongsun Chang know.
He then turned to look at Yao Shisan, "Miss Meng?"
Zhou Congxian also had Yao Shisan borrow the Meng family's identity, which was powerful and intimidating enough.
Yao Shisan gave a dry laugh. "Young Master Chai."
She still doesn't know Zhou Congxian's specific plan, so she can only continue performing with the two of them.
Chai Sijiu looked at Sister Hong, "Sister Hong, what exactly did your subordinates do to make these two darlings so angry!"
Sister Hong gasped. Chai Sijiu was a young master from a noble family; even she had to be careful around him…
Her face paled slightly. "It was the servants' fault for being so blind and offending you two distinguished guests. Hongniang apologizes to you both!"
She immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times.
These two were kidnapped; they are evidence of the abduction perpetrated by Lingge.
After so many years of peace in Chuzhou, they say the young lady has a sharp eye, how did she manage to kidnap an official from the capital!
Chai Sijiu sat down next to Zhou Congxian, pretending not to know what had happened, and waved to Sister Hong, "Just beat any blind fools to death and throw them out!"
"Bring out some good food and wine, I want to catch up with Lord Zhou!"
"Oh, right!" He turned around and called out to Sister Hong.
"Call Lord Gongsun down and tell him that Lord Zhou is here. He will understand."
Sister Hong left with a pale face.
The maidservant beside her was also anxious, "Sister Hong, what should we do? Should we ask the master upstairs to put in a good word for us?"
"No way!" Sister Hong refused outright.
"We must never let him know that the boss is already struggling with that guy's ever-growing appetite. If we let him get involved, we'll just be handing him a handle to use against us!"
She glanced back at Chai Sijiu, who was busily trying to curry favor with her inside the house.
"Go tell the master first that we can only ask Lord Chai to help mediate this matter."
Maid, "Then the people being escorted today..."
These two are benefactors.
Those who were escorting them all died.
Sister Hong, "Lock them all up, including the person who fought with the adults earlier."
"yes."
Chai Sijiu peeked out the door and found that everyone had left.
He then turned to look at Zhou Congxian.
"Young Master Zhou, is it really necessary to go to this trouble?"
Zhou Congxian crossed his arms and looked at him leisurely. "You don't want such solid achievements?"
"want!"
Chai Sijiu's eyes lit up.
"If you take down Gongsun Chang, this place will collapse in a few days!"
Zhou Congxian smiled and said, "I intend to use this place to influence Gongsun Chang."
Chai Sijiu's smile froze. "This... is that possible?"
It wasn't that he didn't trust his brother, but the imperial court only had one navy, so it wasn't that easy.
Zhou Congxian looked into his eyes, "Can you?"
"Then what do you think His Majesty meant by having me build a navy?"
Chai Sijiu raised an eyebrow.
My brother is truly a true friend; he doesn't forget me even when we're eating meat.
He knew it; his brothers were the most reliable!
Yao Shisan looked at the two of them and asked, "Then what should I do?"
The two men looked at her and simultaneously uttered the same word.
"cry."
