Chapter 847 Blow Them Up
"Here's my token! Arrest them!" the guard captain said, his face dark, as he produced his token.
Xiao Ye No. 1 glanced at the scene, made no move, and continued, "Reporting, Captain! I came from the countryside seeking a job, with an elderly mother and two infants at home! I dare not! I cannot withstand retaliation! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been forced to come here!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Xu's eyes flashed with a shrewd light. If there was a weakness, then things would be easier to handle.
"I'll vouch for you! You'll be promoted afterward, and you can even bring your family into the manor. Captain, you have no objections, right?" Steward Xu stroked his mustache and looked at the captain of the guard team with a smile.
He was worried that the person he had arranged had offended his master and been kicked out, leaving him with no say. Now, a perfect scapegoat had come to him.
The captain of the guard was ashen-faced. How could he not see that this old scoundrel was trying to poach his men?
But the most important thing right now is to quell the riots!
"I have no objection! Now, follow me to quell the unrest!" The captain of the guard glared at Xiao Ye No. 1. Damn it, he doesn't even know when to ask for riches and honors!
Xiao Ye No. 1 grinned and said, "Okay!"
His movements were as swift as the wind, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
Butler Xu only felt a blur before his eyes, and the guard had already rushed into the pleasure house.
This is the steward's job.
Money really does bring privileges; look how much effort they're putting in!
Besides Steward Xu, the captain of the guard team was also dumbfounded, watching as Xiao Ye No. 1 rushed into the hall, holding a stool in his hand, waving it around with great force, taking down one person at a time.
This is Captain Cao's doing.
Do you have such a powerful person in your own team?
That damned vice-captain! He's burying a real talent!
Xiao Ye No. 1 was very measured in his attacks, hitting each person only once, either in the stomach or the buttocks—areas with thicker flesh.
These rich kids will at most suffer minor injuries and have to stay in bed for a few days.
A large group of people were causing trouble in the lobby, but Xiao Ye No. 1 managed to calm them down in less than ten minutes.
The captain of the guard walked in with his hands behind his back, head held high, exuding an imposing aura.
As he passed by Xiao Ye No. 1, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, your martial arts skills are quite good. You have a bright future."
A large group of people were lying haphazardly in the hall, including noble young men who came to have fun and members of the guards.
The captain of the guard's lips twitched slightly. This guy even managed to take down his own men?
"Where's Wang Huaiwu?! Get the hell out here!"
Wang Huaiwu, the vice-captain, struggled to crawl out of the crowd, his legs trembling. Which bastard had kicked him in the butt?
"Explain yourself! How dare you cause trouble on our master's territory! You're all tired of living, aren't you!" the guard captain yelled.
"Pah! It's obvious someone cheated! And your referees are biased! My father is the deputy director of the Ministry of Works!" a young master shouted, lying on the ground.
"And me! My dad's in the Censorate!"
"My father is Zhang Xiangong!"
The captain of the guard picked at his ear, found nothing, then picked at his nose and flicked a dark, unremarkable object into the mouth of the young master at the monitoring station.
"Cough cough! How dare you!"
"My master is! An elder of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, a high-ranking official in the court, and the valiant general appointed by His Majesty to protect the nation! Lord Xu Zhong!"
"Does anyone have any objections?"
After the captain of the guard finished shouting, the entire place fell silent.
Even Young Master Zhang, who had been shouting the loudest just now, obediently shut his mouth.
Xu Zhongke was a powerful elder of the Sun Moon Royal Family, and was also assigned by Xu Tianran to guard the armory.
The captain of the guard was very satisfied with the scene before him; his master's fearsome reputation was indeed well-deserved.
"Are you guys dead yet? If you're not, get up now!"
The guards immediately got to their feet, secretly focusing their attention on the vice-captain.
Deputy Captain, Wang Huaiwu is under a lot of pressure right now. Tonight, he not only offended a large group of young masters, but also affected his master's business. He will definitely be punished when he gets back.
The thought of the punishment sent a chill down Wang Huaiwu's spine.
"Captain... Captain, save me!" Wang Huaiwu couldn't help but shout.
"Hmph, you've gotten yourself into big trouble tonight! The master's business has been affected and will suffer a huge loss, do you understand?" the guard captain said meaningfully.
"I'll fix it! I'll fix it!" Wang Huaiwu said with a wry smile.
I've lost all the extra money I earned these past few days, and I might even have to pay out of my own pocket.
While watching the commotion, Xiao Ye No. 1 didn't forget to pull some small trinkets out of his pocket and drop them on the ground.
The metal particles, about the size of pebbles, were sticky and adhered to the bodies of several young men.
"Hmph, this isn't enough. Go back and apologize to your master yourself." The captain of the guard sneered and waved his sleeve.
At the same time, the young masters who were lying on the ground all felt a cool sensation enveloping their bodies, and it seemed that their pain had subsided considerably.
"Is this person a healing-type Soul Master?" Many young masters thought to themselves.
Xiao Ye No. 1 smiled slightly, reached out to help a member of the guard team to his feet, then clapped his hands and slipped behind the guard team captain.
Those little gadgets are made entirely of electric silver mother material, and inside there is only one core magic array that can generate electricity, called electric beads.
A large number of noble children were injured, and even Xu Zhong would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with them if they joined together.
After compensating the young masters, the pleasure house was not going to be open tonight. Manager Xing saw off the bandits with a helpless expression.
Xiao Ye No. 5 stood in the shadows on the rooftop and gave Xiao Ye No. 1 an OK sign.
He had already planted the bomb.
Here, you will fly into the sky.
"Dismissed." The guard captain waved his hand. "Those who came here tonight, go back and receive your punishment."
He then patted Xiao Ye No. 1 on the shoulder and said, "You were the only one who didn't gamble. You did a great job. Always keep the team rules in mind. Go back and get a promotion."
The praise for Xiao Ye No. 1 immediately attracted the team's attention, though not in a friendly way.
"What are you looking at? He's the only one among you who didn't manage to get to the gambling table! You bunch of bastards think you're all grown up now, huh? I told you to come back after you got the goods, and now look what happened, you're all going to lose it all!" The captain of the guard team got angrier and angrier, and slapped several of them.
All the treasures they painstakingly amassed over the years now have to be reported.
All that work for nothing these past few days.
The guards all lowered their heads in silence. One of them asked in a low voice, "Boss, do we really have to hand it all over? Can't we just hand it over tonight?"
The latest novel is first published here!
"Idiot! You're thinking of intercepting something that's so serious? You're lucky to have your life!" The guard captain slapped him again.
"Vice Captain, you led the team tonight, and you bear full responsibility. Go back and apologize to your superior, understand?"
The captain of the guard looked at the vice-captain with icy eyes, and an aura of power emanated from him.
"Understood, I understand." Deputy Captain Wang Huaiwu said with a bitter face. Damn it, he had to find a scapegoat when they got back!
Upon returning to Xu Zhong's residence, Xu Zhong was furious to learn that his underworld subordinates had dared to embezzle his gold soul coins. He severely beat up Wang Huaiwu and his team members, demoting them to the lowest ranks and assigning them to the transport team as unloading tools.
After leaving the brothel, the group of noble young men who had been beaten experienced the activation of the electric beads attached to their bodies, which revealed to them a form of torture called electrotherapy.
The electric bulb was mixed with some Soul-Breaking Stone powder, causing these young masters to wail and scream like ghosts.
The noble circles of Mingdu were shaken. Dozens of young masters from noble families were beaten, and Xunhuanlou, being one of Xu Zhong's underground worlds, naturally became the target of the powerful nobles.
"Xu Zhong has gone too far! How dare he lay a hand on my son!"
"This is outrageous! My son was electrocuted to the point that his hair stood on end! And he's lost all his long hair! How can he ever face anyone like this!"
"Excuse me, could you briefly tell me what your son does?"
"My hair got an afro from the electric shock!"
"My son is in even worse shape; both his kidneys are charred black! I'm the only son in three generations! This is an irreconcilable hatred!"
A group of nobles slammed their fists on the table in anger, their gazes fixed on the seat at the very front, where the highest-ranking noble in the room sat.
"Old Zhao! You have to stand up for us in this matter!"
Old Zhao slowly opened his eyes. His beard and hair were completely white, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as withered branches.
"My grandson was just out having some fun, I never imagined Xu Zhong would allow his wicked servant to commit such a heinous act!"
"This matter! I will certainly expose that old scoundrel before His Majesty!"
"My Zhao family has had only one son for five generations! How hateful that my grandson's manhood has been injured!"
When he mentioned his grandson's miserable condition, Old Zhao's body erupted with violent soul power fluctuations.
"Yes! That old scoundrel Xu Zhong has gone too far! Not only does he want to monopolize the underground business in Mingdu, but he's also targeting our descendants! It's obvious he doesn't take us seriously! He thinks we can kill him at any time!"
"Hmph, a dog that dares to bark just because it guards His Majesty's warehouse!"
"We must see His Majesty! That old scoundrel Xu Zhong must compensate us for our losses!"
Led by the nobleman Zhao, a group of nobles discussed the plan in detail and then went to the palace that night to kneel in front of the imperial gate and cry their grievances.
Xu Zhong, completely unaware that he was about to be impeached, was still furious when his servants stole a portion of his treasure.
Although the wealth that was stolen was only a small amount, Xu Zhong felt that his authority had been challenged. His own dog dared to suck the blood of its master!
"You've done a good job reporting this. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Xu Zhong looked at the captain of the guard team kneeling in front of him.
"I dare not! This is all my fault. I failed to manage my subordinates properly, which led to our master being deceived! Please punish me, our master!" said the captain of the guard team.
Xu Zhong glanced at him a few more times; it seemed this guard captain was quite useful.
"Your loyalty is commendable, so I'll reward you with a piece of sunken silver. Go and retrieve it yourself later." Xu Zhong waved his hand.
The captain of the guard was secretly pleased. When dealing with a stingy master, the only way to get a reward is not to mention it.
The captain of the guard team, who had received the reward, naturally promoted Xiao Ye No. 1 and encouraged him to do a good job.
As planned, Xiao Ye No. 1 successfully entered the patrol area and was able to explore the scale of Xu Zhong's residence.
There are still twenty-four hours before Xunhuanlou is blown up.
