367 Please embark on the journey, part seventeen.
As for whether there are any other abducted women, we need to inquire further at this time.
"Who are you, young master? Don't you know my master and Young Master Qi? Quickly state your name. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite," the obese butler snapped sternly.
The fact that his subordinates haven't taken any action yet is clearly due to a lack of information or simply because no one has notified them.
"I've heard your master has been abducting beautiful women everywhere. I wonder where these women are now?" she asked softly, as footsteps approached quickly from the inner courtyard. "It's alright to wait a bit."
The portly butler's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "This young master is joking. Our Hou family is so wealthy and powerful, we would never do such a thing."
A whole host of women are eager to come to our Marquis's mansion and enjoy a life of luxury, but our mansion isn't willing to accept just anyone.
Their expressions were haughty, as if to say that it was their good fortune to be able to enter my Marquis's mansion.
The footsteps behind slowed down, and several people walked out slowly. The two leading figures were one in front of the other and looked similar. The former had a serious expression and wore a long purple silk robe with intricate patterns outlined in gold and silver threads.
He had a fist-sized ancient jade pendant at his waist and six gold rings on his hands.
The latter was dressed in a dark Confucian robe, carrying a paper fan, with a beautiful jade pendant hanging at his waist, and his face was full of anger.
Judging from the bloodstains in front of the door, it must be the two men, Master Hou and Young Master Hou. They have no face left.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the portly butler nimbly approached Master Hou and introduced him in a low voice.
The young master Hou immediately retorted angrily, "Who are you, young master? How dare you be so rude! Don't you know that one must present a visiting card before coming to someone's door?"
I was just about to have my servants apprehend the rude person.
Master Hou waved his hand gently, his expression unchanged, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "I wonder where you are from, young master. There must be some misunderstanding here."
My Hou family has always been honest and upright, and has never done anything immoral or heinous. We have certainly never committed such a lawless act as kidnapping women.
He gently shook his head. 'These two must be Young Master Hou and Master Hou. Since it's you two, that's good.'
As they spoke, dozens of people surged out from both sides of the Hou family's gate, along with a ruddy-faced old man dressed in a clean and neat blue robe, carrying a long sword, walking with a powerful and imposing manner.
When Master Hou saw him arrive, he gently clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Thank you for your help, Master Yi."
Old Yi nodded and said to Young Master Yi, "I am Yi, the Blazing Sun Blade. Young Master, I wonder where you came from and what you heard from."
The capital city is a complex and intricate place; young master, you should not be instigated by others or fall into their traps.
With a face full of sincere advice, looking at the young man who dared to come to his door, he naturally did not want to make an enemy of him. He was old and it was better to enjoy his life in peace.
The Hou family has fine wine and meat, and beautiful women to serve them; why fight and kill with them?
Although the royal city suppressed spiritual energy, and he could easily kill the attackers with his Blazing Sun Blade, he couldn't be sure whether they were young or old.
It would be better to delay for a while and wait for the government officials to arrive. This royal city doesn't need so much fighting and killing; it's more about human relationships and social interactions.
Of course, this understanding of social etiquette only applies to people of status and position.
Otherwise, they would be like the women from outside the city or in remote areas. Could they be considered children? They would just be kept by the powerful and wealthy, to be enjoyed at any time.
It is only in old age that one truly sees through life; these few years are what life is all about.
At the entrance, the crowds on both sides kept their distance, not getting any closer, and secretly watching from afar.
After a long time, the police officers we were hoping for never arrived.
He Chen nodded slightly and said softly, "It seems everyone's here. That's fine."
Looking at the arrogant newcomer and then at his servants and Elder Yi, Young Master Hou felt confident.
He scolded, "Boy, where did you come from? Kneel down and beg for mercy right now, or the officials will come and throw you in jail."
Look at your delicate skin, I'll have someone take good care of you.
"Hahaha." A triumphant laugh.
With the gentleman's knife in hand, the blade possessed an indescribable beauty and charm, leaving those around him in awe and utterly terrified.
Yet it was also captivating, drawing the attention of those watching from all sides. Their expressions shifted from calm to horror, from mockery to fear. The knife was terrifying; its chilling aura pierced straight to the heart.
He gently stroked the blade, his expression calm as he stepped forward.
The footsteps struck the hearts of those opposite them like heavy thunderclaps; the dull yet powerful footsteps seemed like the Grim Reaper demanding their lives, foreshadowing the arrival of death.
Master Hou sensed something was wrong. Why hadn't the government officials arrived yet? This was very unusual, and his face darkened.
There was no wind, no waves; as death approached, Master Hou and Young Master Hou seemed to feel a thick aura of death emanating from their very souls.
Like a cold winter wind, chilling me to the bone even in a thin coat, the chilling wind blows relentlessly, carrying the aura of death that seems inescapable. It's as if I've seen Yama, the King of Hell, and death is imminent.
Master Hou was extremely nervous. He looked around and saw his servants, who were usually fed good wine and meat, waiting for him to show their loyalty.
Young Master Hou was immediately filled with fear. His face turned pale with fear, as if death was imminent, but he did not want to die.
A nameless fear gripped him as he tortured the women he had abducted, watching their agonizing screams before him, and witnessing his own smug, ugly smile, accompanied by a twisted sense of pleasure.
Today, he finds himself surrounded by the corpses of women, their malevolent eyes fixed intently on him.
'Don't come any closer, you don't need to come any closer.'
You despicable people, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. You are truly despicable.
Haha, I'm still the son of a noble family, and my brother-in-law is the son of an imperial censor!
You lowly servants deserve to be enjoyed by me.
How dare you disobey me! I'll beat you to death!
He went crazy, cowering in a corner and babbling incoherently.
At this moment, there was indeed no one to help. The patriarch of the Hou family was shouting, "You lowly servant, don't come any closer! I'll give you money, I'll give you a house!"
I didn't mean it; I genuinely like you all, but you don't appreciate it at all.
His conscious aura gently pulled into the crowd, suddenly drawing out the secrets hidden deep within their hearts.
Suddenly, a guard stabbed the person in front of him with a knife, and blood spurted out, instantly turning his body red.
His face was contorted with rage, and he was in a frenzy, yelling, "Little Sea Dog, I'll kill you! You're always the one who bullies me and makes me lose face in front of Xiaoliu!"
Otherwise, Xiao Liu would be a young lady. It's all your fault, all your fault.
I'm going to kill you.
And all of you, you will all die.
Before him were all his former enemies, and he could not distinguish between the real and the fake. Looking at his enemies standing in front of him with knives, he had no choice but to kill.
