Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

"Tailor shop..."

Chen Qing frowned and raised his head to glance at the frightened monkey.

"Go and bring your men with you, and bring the mother and daughter from the tailor shop to me. Ah Si is my biological brother, and he can't die in such an unclear way."

The monkey was shocked all over, and nodded repeatedly as if he had been pardoned.

"Third Master, I'll take the people there right away."

Having said that, the monkey turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Qing thought for a moment and called him back, "Remember to do this in a concealed manner, don't let others find out about this place."

"Ah Si's stronghold has been wiped out. If this place is also taken down, the Poison Dragon Gang will be completely wiped out in Hanyang."

"Yes, little one understands."

The monkey quickly agreed, fearing that Chen Qing would come after him again, and ran away without a trace.

Princess House.

Xia Mingyuan was sweating profusely.

Cuiwei Tower had just received the body measurements of the various courtesans. Xia Mingyuan thought for a moment and then passed it to Wang Gangyi behind him.

"Wang Gangyi, go take this to the tailor shop and ask Miss Chu to make a few more pieces."

Wang Gang saluted, put away his things, and left the princess's mansion.

Looking at Wang Gangyi's back as he left, Xia Mingyuan felt very satisfied.

This is the perfect place for the system to explode troops.

As long as the soldiers are exchanged by the system, no matter how powerful they are, even if they are second-grade masters, they will obey his orders unconditionally.

In this respect, she is much better than Zhao Hongying, who is usually reluctant even to be called "husband".

As soon as Wang Gang left the princess's mansion, he went straight to the Chu's tailor shop in the west of the city.

Before he got closer, he heard a commotion coming from the tailor shop, and then it became quiet, which made Wang Gangyi frown.

I saw a dozen ruffians dragging the unconscious Zhang Pozi and her daughter onto a carriage not far away.

Seeing this, Wang Gangyi followed without any hesitation.

With his second-rank strength, he would naturally not be discovered by these minions.

Soon, he followed the carriage all the way to a remote courtyard. Seeing the carriage stopped at the door and these ruffians dragging people into it, Wang Gang hesitated for a moment, then turned around and headed straight for the princess's mansion.

"What did you say? Someone arrested that mother and daughter?"

Xia Mingyuan was practicing martial arts. When he heard Wang Gangyi's report, his voice suddenly rose.

"Commander, I saw it with my own eyes. I wanted to rush into the courtyard and rescue these two, but I was hesitant, fearing that I would alert the enemy. That's why I came back to ask for your instructions."

"boom!"

Xia Mingyuan slammed the table and picked up the rusty steel knife in his hand.

"Damn it! The Poison Dragon Gang still dares to act so rampant in Hanyang City. They really don't take me seriously. Gather the troops and follow me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Mingyuan brought three second-rank Tiger Guards, thirty Qilin Guards, and ten Longxiang Warriors.

A group of people wearing armor and carrying swords followed Wang Gangyi to the courtyard.

"Wow!"

A basin of cold water was poured over my head.

Chu Xinyue shuddered violently, suddenly opened her eyes, and saw Chen Qing in front of her.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?"

"If the government finds out about breaking into a house and robbing it in broad daylight, they'll kill you!"

"Behead?" Upon hearing this, Chen Qing sneered, "Little girl, the official who can chop off my head has probably not been born yet."

"Since you've fallen into our hands, I advise you to cooperate with us. Since you're quite pretty, perhaps I won't treat you unfairly."

As he spoke, Chen Qing showed an evil smile on his face and looked at Chu Xinyue with lustful eyes.

Chu Xinyue shuddered, gritted her teeth, and didn't say a word.

Chen Qing smiled, took out a silver note and a bag of silver from the side, and shook them in front of Chu Xinyue.

"Tell me first, where did you get this silver?"

Chu Xinyue's eyes dodged, and she said in a deep voice, "How else could it have come from? Of course, it's accumulated from making clothes over the years."

"Nonsense!" Chen Qing slammed the table, his face turning ashen.

"Little girl, do you think I'm a fool?"

"With your family's tailor shop, even if you work for another ten years, it would be a pipe dream to save up three hundred taels."

"Tell me, who gave you this silver?"

Chu Xinyue frowned and stopped talking.

Chen Qing sneered and threw the silver aside. "You don't want to tell me, right? I have at least ten ways to make you talk."

"But with your delicate skin and tender flesh, I wonder how many times you can withstand it?"

Chu Xinyue's whole body trembled, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Qing said complacently, "Actually, even if you didn't say it, I can guess that this money was given to you as hush money. The one who really killed Chen Ah Si was not Pan Yue, but someone else. Am I right?"

"Tell me who this person is!"

After hearing these words, Chu Xinyue's heart trembled and her expression became flustered.

She originally wanted to conceal the information about her benefactor and get away with it, but she didn't expect that she would be targeted in the end.

Seeing that Chu Xinyue still didn't speak, Chen Qing lost his last patience.

"Don't cry until you see the coffin. Come on, beat him up!"

"boom!"

As soon as Chen Qing finished speaking, he heard a loud noise behind him.

Xia Mingyuan kicked the door open and rushed into the house.

"How dare you! Who are you and how dare you break into this house?" Chen Qing's face changed drastically and he started cursing.

However, before he could finish his words, Xia Mingyuan kicked him to the ground.

"Didn't you want to find me? Now I'm at your door."

"I am the real murderer who killed Chen Ah Si. Since you are unwilling to accept this, I will send you down to accompany him."

Chen Qing's face changed drastically and he tried to struggle and resist, but Xia Mingyuan sneered and kicked him unconscious.

"Arrest everyone here and take them back for interrogation."

After capturing Chen Qing, the remaining Poison Dragon Gang members were as easy to deal with as cutting melons and vegetables for the Qilin Guards. In a short while, they were all tied up with ropes and prepared to be escorted back to the palace.

However, before anyone left the house, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves outside the door.

The next moment, a team of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears rushed in and surrounded the yard.

Soon, Pan Yue and his men rushed in aggressively.

Ever since he wiped out Ah Si's stronghold, Pan Yue still felt somewhat unsatisfied.

He was so eager to make progress that he waited near the tailor shop, hoping to wait for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, he ran into it head-on.

"Capture all the members of the Poison Dragon Gang. Don't let any of them go."

"If anyone dares to resist, I will kill him on the spot."

Pan Yue was about to walk into the house when he bumped into Xia Mingyuan.

"Xia Mingyuan, why are you here too?"

Pan Yue and Xia Mingyuan looked at each other, both of them a little confused.

It was Xia Mingyuan who first broke the silence. "General Pan, this Poison Dragon Gang stronghold has fallen into my hands, and the people have been captured by my men. I'm afraid your trip was in vain."
