Yun Jinnian was still worried that Han Tianci would suffer a loss.
Hemei and Henuan immediately stepped forward to help, and the three children beat a gang of adults until their noses were blue and faces swollen, falling to the ground groaning in pain.
This time no one came to watch the excitement; everyone quickly left the scene.
Because this incident had blown up!
"Just wait, you all wait!"
The thugs were defeated once again, leaving in an embarrassing retreat.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy stepped forward, "You should hurry and find another place, I won’t do business anymore; don’t set up your stall in front of my store’s entrance!"
Han Tianci was going to ship goods, but Yun Jinnian gently reached out and pulled him back, then turned to Han Zhong and said, "Uncle Zhong, let’s leave!"
They moved their belongings back to the inn.
After freshening up and cleaning up, Han Zhong went out to ask the innkeeper to prepare some food, only to see the innkeeper coming over with a somber expression.
"Guests, I’m truly sorry!"
"What’s wrong?" Han Zhong asked.
The innkeeper was worried, worried about his own shop, and also worried about these guests, "Why would you guests have to offend the people from the Azure Dragon Sect!"
"The Azure Dragon Sect?"
"Yes, the Azure Dragon Sect, the local bullies of Hongchou City, even the Governor has to give them a lot of face!"
"They are that powerful?" Han Zhong really didn’t believe it.
"The Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Sect has a cousin who is a lady in the Imperial Palace!"
Upon hearing this, Han Zhong turned to look at Yun Jinnian.
A lady in the Imperial Palace, could she be mentioned in the same breath as the Emperor?
Even the Empress could not do that.
"Would you know the Hall Master’s full name? And which lady in the palace is his cousin?" Han Zhong asked coldly.
"The Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Sect is surnamed Sun, with a single name, Wang. His cousin is surnamed Pan, said to be Lady Jieyu!"
So, she was just a Lady Jieyu.
Little did they know that above Lady Jieyu were Zhaoyi, the four consorts, Noble Consort, and the Empress. And within the Imperial Palace, there are at least eight if not ten Lady Jieyus, among whom only one or two are favored.
Even if they are favored, the Emperor would not gamble his own life for such a woman.
"So it is!" Han Zhong said in a low voice.
The innkeeper then said, "Guests, I’m afraid I cannot keep you here; could you possibly..."
Han Zhong immediately understood; after talking so much, it turned out that the innkeeper was here to drive them out.
"Innkeeper, rest assured, we’ll pack up and leave!"
"I’m really sorry about this!"
Han Zhong waved his hand, unfazed.
They were strangers anyway, so there was nothing much to care about.
After discussing with Yun Jinnian, Yun Jinnian smiled faintly, "Then let’s pack up and look for another inn!"
She really wanted to see how far these hooligans could stretch their influence.
How far would the Magistrate go to protect them?
The group packed up their belongings, left the inn, got on the horse cart, with Han Zhong leading the search for another inn.
But before they could find an inn, they were blocked by five men, with another man looking like a pig, his nose blue and face swollen, trailing behind them.
"Hall Master, it’s them!"
The man in the lead nodded slightly before looking at Han Zhong, "You are foreigners, what are you doing in Hongchou City?"
"Just passing through," Han Zhong replied indifferently.
He did not take these people seriously.
"If you are just passing through, do so quietly. Why cause harm?"
"That scoundrel spoke nonsense and insulted my master; him getting hurt was letting him off easy!"
"It seems you do not wish for this matter to end peacefully!"
"Peacefully?" Han Zhong sneered, "Is it us who don’t wish for peace, or is it because you are too bullying!"
"In that case, don’t blame us for striking harshly and taking your lives!" The leader hadn’t finished speaking when Han Zhong had already swiftly made his move.
Nobody saw how he acted; by the time he returned to the horse cart, those men were standing still without moving, and it seemed as if blood was dripping from their bodies onto the ground...
