The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

"How dare you! You're just a steward of a merchant family, yet you're speaking so arrogantly? I think you're really courting death. Do you know who this person in front of you is?"

Shen Liuguang looked at Qi Chunjiang with a righteous expression.

"Liuguang, why waste time talking to them? Just take them all down directly."

Kuzhu held the sword and spoke in a nonchalant tone, not taking Qi Chunjiang and the others seriously at all.

I really don't know how such a bunch of rabble could dominate Lingxiao City.

Qi Chunjiang is also a well-known figure in Lingxiao City.

Apart from being servile to the head of the Nie family, other powerful families in Lingxiao City also treated him with great courtesy. He had never been ignored like this before.

I was so angry that I lost my mind.

He lost face in front of so many brothers today. How will he convince others in the future?

Thinking of this, a storm gathered in Qi Chunjiang's eyes. His tone became three degrees colder than before. He said loudly, "Brothers, someone has been trying to make trouble for us again and again today. What do you think we should do?"

"Fuck them!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Just now they were almost burned to death in the mountain, then the workers attempted to rebel, and they had walked such a long way, so they were already full of anger. Qi Chunjiang's words at this moment were like throwing fire into an oil pan, which instantly exploded on the spot.

Seeing their posture, Shen Qingyan didn't even blink, his hands behind his back, not showing any panic. His voice was neither loud nor low, but it could be heard clearly by everyone present: "Qi Chunjiang, are you sure you want to do it?"

His gaze was fixed directly into Qi Chunjiang's eyes, leaving him nowhere to hide.

When Qi Chunjiang first saw such a look, his heart skipped a beat and he felt uneasy, but he had no way out, so he had to suppress the uneasiness.

"Stop the fucking nonsense, brothers, go ahead and show them how powerful the Nie family is! Let them know we're not to be trifled with."

Before Qi Chunjiang could speak, a burly man beside him suddenly shouted, and led the Nie family members to raise their weapons and rush towards Shen Qingyan's men.

Seeing them taking action, Shen Liuguang and Kuzhu hurriedly protected Shen Qingyan behind them.

Without Kuzhu's orders, their people quickly started fighting with Qi Chunjiang and others.

When the onlookers saw that a fight had really broken out, they were afraid of being affected and quickly retreated. However, they were reluctant to give up watching the excitement, so they retreated to ten meters away and surrounded the fighting people in a big circle.

The sound of fighting at the gate of Lingxiao City was deafening. Just as everyone was secretly wondering who would win, someone suddenly shouted, "Our people are here to help."

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the city gate.

I saw a man riding a horse in front, followed by a dozen strong men, all holding weapons in their hands.

Xu Yi looked closely and saw that the person on the horse was none other than Nie Guizhou.

Just now Shen Qingyan's side had the upper hand, but now with the people brought by Nie Guizhou joining in, Shen Qingyan's side was at a disadvantage in less than a moment.

Shen Qingyan also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly said to Kuzhu in front of him: "Kuzhu, go and help, you don't have to protect me."

"Yes, my lord."

Soon, Kuzhu also joined the battle.

Some merchants have thugs who rely on their numbers to bully others.

When facing Kuzhu, who is active in the underworld, he is simply no match for him.

In a few rounds, Kuzhu took care of seven or eight people.

The advantage returned to Shen Qingyan.

Within a stick of incense, the fighting in front of Lingxiao City's gate stopped.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nie Guizhou tried to escape on horseback.

But who is Shen Qingyan? How could he be allowed to slip away right under his nose?

He immediately ordered Kuzhu to bring the man back.

Nie Guizhou was held by Kuzhu by the back of his neck, but he did not give up struggling. He tried to punch and kick Kuzhu while shouting at Shen Qingyan: "You bastard, you are trying to arrest me even though you know who I am. I advise you to let me go quickly, otherwise you will suffer the consequences when my father and the county magistrate come."

Hearing his shouting, Shen Qingyan didn't take it seriously and replied calmly: "Oh, really? In that case, there's no need to wait for your father and the county magistrate to come. I will personally send you over."

Upon hearing this, Nie Guizhou thought he was scared and stopped struggling, looking smug: "Now you know how powerful I am. Since you know, quickly let your dog slaves let me go. In addition, if you kowtow to me and admit your mistakes, I will ask the county magistrate to spare your life."

"Oh!" Shen Qingyan sneered, "What a big tone! Will the county magistrate listen to a brat like you?"

This was the first time Nie Guizhou had been questioned, and his eyes immediately widened. He didn't care that he was being held by the scruff of the neck, and angrily retorted, "Who are you calling a brat? I'm telling you, not only the county magistrate, but everyone in Lingxiao City, except my father, has to listen to me."

"Really? Then I'd like to see them for myself. Kuzhu, take them to the government office."

Shen Qingyan's eyes were cold as he glanced at the subdued servant of the Nie family, then he turned around and headed towards the government office.

After they walked away, the stunned crowd came to their senses.

However, the crowd did not disperse, but followed to the government office while discussing.

Xu Yi walked at the end, his brows not relaxed at all because Nie Guizhou was arrested.

He had always felt that something was not right with Qi Chunjiang and his men, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.

"Alas, I was so busy watching the fun that I forgot to take the things I bought. I'll go get them. You go to the government office first and tell me about it later."

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted this.

Hearing this, Xu Yi looked up and saw him heading towards the west of the city gate, where a backpack was placed.

Backpack?

Yes, how could he overlook such an important thing.

According to what Qiao told him, Qi Chunjiang and his men came down from Chunshan carrying backpacks on their backs, but now they have all been caught and not a single backpack has been found.

In other words, they had already hidden the backpack before coming to the city gate. No wonder they arrived at the city gate so late.

No, he had to find a way to remind the adults.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi quickened his pace and headed towards the city.

……

Outside the Lingxiao City government office.

"Boom boom boom——"

The drum hanging outside the government office was struck.

Soon, the yamen runners came out to check the situation.

I was shocked when I saw so many people.

He glanced at the crowd and soon saw someone familiar.

He walked straight up to Nie Guizhou, with a wry smile on his face: "Hey, Master Nie, why are you here at the government office? What are you doing——"

I thought to myself, this gentleman has always been so willful, and every time he comes to the government office, he does whatever he wants. Is he doing something different today?

But it would be fine if he was the only one doing this, but why did the servants of the Nie family also do this?

And the person in front of me, I’m afraid he is not from Lingxiao City?

Looking at him like this, why does he seem to be more imposing than his master?
