Outside the Duke Yong's Mansion, the bearded burly man was thrown out of the gate by Su Qing like a sack and landed heavily on the ground.
Even worse, his face hit the ground first when he was thrown out. Everyone could clearly hear the "crack" sound of his teeth breaking against the ground, as well as the sound of bones snapping.
Before the bearded burly man could recover from the severe pain and dizziness, he was hit by another heavy object and was forced back to the ground. His chin made another "crack" sound as it came into intimate contact with the ground.
It turned out that the men he had brought were also thrown out one by one by the guards of the Duke Yong's Mansion. Somehow, they were all aimed at the spot where he was lying. These men were piled up into a small mountain, almost crushing the most arrogant bearded burly man out of breath.
Spitting out the broken teeth and blood foam in his mouth with a "pfft", the bearded burly man's eyes were red with anger. He looked up at Su Qing, Mo Shi and others standing on the steps of the duke's mansion with their hands behind their backs. Holding his breath, he shouted:
"Um... kin, lee sho ran gan wei nao si feng shou!"
Su Qing picked his ear and said to Mo Shi beside him, "Madam, can you understand what he's saying?"
Mo Shi said nonsense seriously, "He's praising you for your high martial arts skills and saying that he is willing to admit defeat."
"Huáng pí!" The bearded burly man was so angry that his eyes rolled back. He looked as if he had stopped breathing.
"Su Qín, lee wait! Lee are going against the Wang Clan. The Wang Clan won't let lee off!" The bearded burly man slowed down his speech, and his enunciation finally became a bit clearer.
After hearing this, Su Qing's eyes darkened. He said coldly to the bearded burly man, "Oh? Really? What does the Wang Clan want to do to my Duke Yong's Mansion? Wipe out my whole family? I am a duke personally appointed by His Majesty. Does the Wang Clan want to replace His Majesty and become the sky of the Great Chu?"
The bearded burly man didn't expect him to put such a big hat on the Wang Clan all of a sudden. He was so scared that his face turned pale, "Don't talk nonsense! You're framing us!"
Su Qing snorted:
"Take your dogs and go back to tell the head of your Wang Clan. If there really is a petty thief in my Duke Yong's Mansion, it's only right for my mansion to search and arrest the thief by ourselves. Once we catch the culprit, we will naturally hand him over to the government office. But those who break into my Duke Yong's Mansion without permission will be killed!"
After saying that, he waved his right hand. Something flew past the bearded burly man's nose and deeply embedded itself in the brick in front of him. It was the token of the Wang Clan that he had shown before.
The main gate of the Duke Yong's Mansion slammed shut. The guards of the Wang Clan wailed as they got off the bearded burly man. When they helped him up, they found that the bearded burly man had not only fainted from fear but also peed his pants on the spot.
There was nothing they could do. They could only carry the unconscious and blood - smeared bearded burly man away in a sorry state.
Inside the Duke Yong's Mansion, Su Qing's robe fluttered in the night wind. From the back, he looked extremely imposing, as if he had once again become the great general who had commanded the troops on the battlefield in the northern desert.
Su Huaichen frowned worriedly, "Father beat up the people of the Wang Clan. Will the Wang Clan keep causing trouble for us in the future?"
Su Huaiyuan said indifferently, "What are you afraid of! Just beat them up every time they come!"
Mo Shi couldn't help but raise her hand and give him a hard knock on the head, "What are you talking about? Beat them up every time they come. Do you expect them to come every day so that you can show off your martial arts?"
Su Huaiyuan said aggrievedly, "Mother, I didn't mean that."
Su Qing looked back at him and said, "Don't worry. The Wang Clan won't come again, let alone cause trouble for us. Otherwise, it will confirm their intention to treat the whole Shengjing as their own."
The three sons nodded in understanding. Su Huaisheng said, "I didn't expect that after Father returned to Shengjing, he would also learn the power - playing tricks of the literati. It's really amazing."
"This is not power - playing. This strategy is called 'anticipating the enemy's moves' in military tactics." Su Qing said, "Do you think the Wang Clan was so arrogant towards our duke's mansion? It's all because our family offended the queen at the Qianqiu Banquet. The Wang Clan is just taking revenge."
The three sons looked at each other. Su Huaiyuan couldn't quite believe it, "No way? Just because of a dog? Is it worth causing such a big commotion?"
"This is Shengjing City. Anything is possible." Su Huaisheng came to his senses and said meaningfully.
"So, Father means that since we've already offended them, we might as well offend them to the end?" Su Huaichen also reacted.
"Well done. You're teachable." Su Qing took Mo Shi's hand and strode away. His voice came clearly from the front:
"Anyway, remember one principle. Our Su Clan from the northern desert can never be bullied at any time or place. If anyone is blind enough to come to our door in the future, you can just fight back like I did today. I'll take care of everything."
The three sons immediately nodded vigorously like little chickens pecking at rice.
Suddenly, Su Huaiyuan realized something and shouted, "Father, Mother, should we still catch the thief?"
"Go back and sleep well."
The three of them glanced at each other, yawned in unison, and walked towards their own yards with their shoulders on each other's shoulders. Thinking about the future situation, they were all full of excitement and eagerness to try.
To be honest, they didn't like to flatter the powerful and noble in Shengjing City like a dog. Since Father had given the order, to hell with it!
They must make the people of Shengjing City remember their Duke Yong's Mansion and their Su Clan from the northern desert!
Su Huaisheng looked up at the moon in the sky and said regretfully:
"It's a pity that Yuanbao is already asleep. If she had seen Father's great might today, she would have been very happy."
...
The commotion caused by Su Qing and the Wang Clan outside the duke's mansion soon reached the Mingzhu Courtyard.
However, Su Yuanyuan, whom her brothers were concerned about, was fast asleep. She knew nothing about what was going on outside. Only Cang Xuan, who was hiding on the beam of the room, was still awake. He heard the whole process from the maids waiting outside the door.
These maids were very talkative. By the end, Cang Xuan even knew which hand Su Qing had used to throw the man out and which front tooth the bearded burly man had broken.
However, after learning that his crisis was over and the Duke Yong's Mansion didn't intend to search for him, the little "thief", he raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but curl his lips.
He took out a few copper coins from his robe. His ten fingers flew as he wove them into a knot and tossed the copper coins into the air.
The copper coins landed silently on the beam of the room like living things, forming a divination formation.
The divination showed that if he wanted to break the current situation in Shengjing, the variable was in the Duke Yong's Mansion.
Through the bricks and tiles in front of him, it seemed that he could already see the several waves that would be set off in the future. There was a crazy sense of pleasure in Cang Xuan's eyes.
Let this pool of water become even more turbid.
Although his wound had been treated, the remaining poison was still in his body. His body was always hot and cold, which was extremely uncomfortable. But listening to the steady breathing sound of the girl below, unconsciously, drowsiness gradually came over him...
He put away the copper coins, closed his eyes, and let himself fall into a deep sleep with the girl below.
...
On the other side, the Wang Clan's mansion was brightly lit at this time. Wang Chongling, the current head of the Wang Clan and the biological father of Queen Wang, was sitting on the main seat with a gloomy face, waiting quietly.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. It was the guards who had been sent out to hunt down the assassin who had sneaked into the mansion at night.
He immediately stood up from the main seat and looked towards the door, thinking that he would see the assassin being tied up and escorted back. Who would have thought that what he saw was the bearded burly man being carried into the room by the guards together.
Wang Chongling's face immediately darkened, "What's going on? Where is the man?"
The bearded burly man struggled to get up and knelt in front of Wang Chongling. He replied tremblingly, "Reporting to the head of the clan, the assassin hid in the Duke Yong's Mansion. I couldn't get into the mansion, and I was beaten out by Duke Su."
