We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

"The rightful owner has arrived."

Li Che grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Your Highness," Uncle Yang said quickly, "They come with ill intentions. It's better to stay out of their way for now."

"I avoid his edge?!"

Li Che interrupted.

"He is the one I am waiting for!"

He wanted to see who on earth could do such things so unscrupulously in Yecheng, which was only a hundred miles away from Kyoto.

"Everyone else stay here and release all the slaves. Aqiang, come with me!"

After saying that, Li Che turned and walked out, followed closely by Hu Qiang.

Pedestrians on the street made way, dozens of fierce-looking men cleared the way, and a luxuriously decorated carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the pedestrian street.

The people looked terrified and whispered to each other.

"This looks like the royal family's carriage, right? What's going on with such a grand display?"

"This business originally belonged to the Wang family. Just now, I saw someone running out in a panic holding a bloody mess, and then the Wang family members arrived."

"Hiss... In Ye City, there are still people who dare to attack the Wang family?"

The moment the curtain was opened, a rich scent of incense wafted out.

Chang Ningxue, who was hiding in the crowd, looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man getting out of a car.

The man frowned and glanced at the filthy ground with disgust.

A servant beside him immediately lay on the ground, allowing the man to step on his back and get off the carriage without looking around.

"What about people?"

The tooth dealer who had escaped earlier fell to his knees, tumbling and crawling: "Master, he's inside."

The head of the Wang family heard the voice and looked towards the people walking towards him. His eyes met Li Che's who was walking towards him, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He has a face like a crown of jade, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and an imposing bearing.

Such a demeanor... is definitely not an ordinary person!

But in Ye City, the aristocratic families he was familiar with seemed to have never seen this person...

"Who are you?" asked the head of the Wang family.

Li Che walked out of the door slowly, his steps steady and his eyes sharp as a hawk:

"Did you receive my gift?"

The man frowned slightly, thinking that this person was very rude, but seeing that the other party had an extraordinary demeanor, he couldn't get angry and had to suppress his anger.

"I am only a servant. If I offend you, I deserve death. I am Wang Bingyi, the head of the Wang family in Yecheng."

"I see that you have an extraordinary bearing, and I believe you are certainly not an ordinary person. Please come to my humble abode for a chat. If there is any misunderstanding, I will resolve it."

I have to say that Wang Bingyi is very gentlemanly and polite.

Compared to him, Li Che seemed more aggressive: "There is no misunderstanding, but there is one thing I would like to ask Patriarch Wang."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Daqing law clearly stipulates that human trafficking is strictly prohibited. Why does your Wang family knowingly break the law and do such a heinous thing?" Li Che asked sternly.

Hearing what Li Che said, Chang Ningxue in the crowd looked surprised.

This is a bit disrespectful.

In the upper class society, everyone pays attention to a tacit understanding. After all, which family doesn’t have some shady business?

The noble families would never talk about such shameful activities openly.

Chang Ningxue originally thought that Li Che was just a playboy who came out to buy concubines, but now it seems that she was wrong.

Who is he then? Could he be an imperial censor sent by the imperial court?

Even the censor would not dare to question Wang Bingyi so harshly, right?

The Wang family is one of the eight great families and is extremely powerful. Even the magistrate of Yecheng did not dare to be so rude in front of them.

As expected, seeing Li Che's attitude, Wang Bingyi's face turned ugly.

He suppressed his anger and asked, "Sir, are you determined to make things difficult for my Wang family?"

"So what?" Li Che asked back.

"Just because my royal family broke the law?"

"I don't want to care about breaking the law or anything like that." Li Che walked forward slowly, "But there is a grudge that must be avenged!"

"What grudge do we have?" Wang Bingyi asked doubtfully.

The miserable appearance of the little girl flashed through Li Che's mind, and his hand slowly moved to the hilt of the sword.

"This is 'class' hatred!"

The next second, the sword was unsheathed, shining coldly like water, reflecting Wang Bingyi's astonished face.

While Wang Bingyi was stunned, several guards behind him rushed up, holding long swords and aiming at Li Che's vital points.

An iron arm suddenly shot out from behind Li Che, knocking the guard several steps away and causing him to spit out blood.

Hu Qiang, as tall as an iron tower, stood in front of Li Che with a fierce look on his face.

Wang Bingyi was shocked and everything he saw made him feel like he was in a fog.

He had no idea why Li Che suddenly took action, and he couldn't understand what the "class hatred" that Li Che mentioned was.

Li Che stabbed a guard's chest with a sword and smiled at Wang Bingyi: "Do you think you are noble?"

"Do you think people are commodities?"

"Do you think the Wang family should be high and mighty, and these common people are just ants, to be trampled upon at will by you?"

The guards swarmed around him, but Li Che ignored them and just stared at Wang Bingyi who was protected by layers of guards:

"Since you are so noble, why do you need to hide behind others?"

Wang Bingyi's face turned pale and he remained silent.

Li Che ignored him and watched as more and more guards gathered around him. He shouted, "Wang Sanchun, do it!"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of dark shadows rushed out from the crowd.

They were thin, holding sharp blades, and exuding a terrifying evil aura, like evil spirits crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Fifty guards who were born as criminals rushed towards the royal guards like hungry wolves, each of their moves deadly and merciless.

A guard swung his sword and was about to chop, but the criminal did not dodge, but instead charged at him with a grin.

The guard was horrified and hurriedly drew his knife to block, but was knocked to the ground by the criminal.

With a flash of the knife, the guard was nailed to death on the street by the criminal without even a grunt.

The criminal howled wildly and pounced on another royal guard like a mad dog.

Under this completely fearless fighting style, although the Wang family guards were strong, they were defeated by this group of desperate criminals.

There was also the devil-like Hu Qiang. Every time he charged, it was like a bull plowing the field, and dozens of guards were knocked away like straw.

"Go and ask the county magistrate quickly, go and call the city defense army!" Seeing his guards falling one by one, Wang Bingyi no longer cared about the dignity of his family and roared at the top of his lungs.

It would have been better if he didn't shout, but this shout attracted Hu Qiang's attention.

Hu Qiang ran up in two or three steps, picked up the body of a guard and used it as a weapon, knocking away all the guards who were blocking his way.

He came to Wang Bingyi, lifted him up from behind the guards like a chicken, and threw him heavily to the ground.

Wang Bingyi struggled to his feet in a panic, his gorgeous clothes covered in mud and blood.

Before he could stand firm, a long sword with a cold gleam was already placed on his neck:

"Forget about asking the magistrate. Even if you go to the Western Paradise to ask the Buddha, it will be useless!"

Wang Bingyi looked up at Li Che and asked tremblingly, "Who are you and why do you want to be an enemy of my Wang family?"

"I am the head of the Wang family! You bully me like this, aren't you afraid of revenge from my family?"

"That damned bloodline theory again!" Li Che looked down at Wang Bingyi. "Just because the Wang family has noble bloodline, does that mean they can treat people like commodities?"

"If that's the case, my bloodline is nobler than yours, so you, Wang Bingyi, should be my slave!"

Wang Bingyi's pupils shrank sharply: "This king?! You are..."

Li Che impatiently stepped on Wang Bingyi's leg, and the sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

"To this king, you are also a pariah!"

"As a pariah, you should be given to this king..."

"Kneel down!!!"
