Chapter 327: 177 Scamming Dad (First Update)_2
As the saying goes, good deeds never leave home, but bad ones travel a thousand miles.
The news of Miao Shoutang treating Liu Yisheng spread quickly, attracting many on-lookers in the afternoon.
They weren’t disappointed either.
By the time of sundown, the bruiser that Gu Jiao had knocked flat came back, along with a squad of guards.
They weren’t officials, but rather looked like guards from some affluent homes.
The burly man pointed his shaking hand at Gu Jiao and glared, “Master Tong! That’s her! She was the one who beat us all up!”
The guard called Master Tong looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see a fourteen or fifteen year old girl. He was bewildered, “Who?”
“Her! That woman!” said the burly man.
Tong frowned and looked at Gu Jiao, then at the burly man, “Are you telling me that you all got beaten up by a girl?”
Wha… What’s this about a dog?
The large man refused to admit it!
But recalling how they were scrambling around on the ground looking for their teeth, they looked even more pathetic than homeless dogs.
Guard Tong asked, “Was there another expert with her?”
She fought by herself?
He didn’t believe it.
The burly man frantically replied, “Sir! It really was her!”
Tong walked forward into the medical hall. The crowd swarmed around the entrance, blocking the hall’s front door.
“So, you’ve injured someone,” Tong looked at Gu Jiao who was checking the account book behind the counter.
Gu Jiao flipped a page in the account book, completely ignoring him.
“Second Master” saw that things were going sour and quickly stepped forward with a smile, “Sir, it’s all a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!”
“What misunderstanding? She beat the crap out of me and my brothers, are you blind?” The bruiser felt encouraged by the support, growing bolder again.
“Second Master” hastily tried to placate him with a grin, “We will cover your medical expenses…”
Gu Jiao slammed her account book on the table.
“Second Master” instantly tensed up, “Oh no, Gu is going to erupt!”
Gu, calm down. This isn’t the county town, this isn’t the hot spring villa, this is the Capital City!
These people clearly come from high places; we can’t afford to offend them!
Gu Jiao stood up, impatiently flicking her small ears, “Come at me one by one, or all at once?”
She added, “Let’s do it all at once, less of a hassle.”
“Second Master”: No –Gu—No –You’re wrong about this…
Tong was stunned for a moment as he realized what she meant.
A young girl, acting so insolently?
Tong coldly said: “I’m a man, I don’t bully women, call out the real man in charge here –”
Before he finished speaking, Gu Jiao dashed out of the counter, grabbed his collar, and forcefully pushed him out of the hall.
Tong wasn’t just an ordinary family’s guard. He didn’t reveal his identity and wore commoner clothes. However, his status in the Capital City was significant enough that he could move unchallenged.
Not to mention his martial arts skills.
He had never been treated before.
By the time he reacted, he had been shoved hard against the stone lions at the entrance.
Enraged and humiliated, he tried to draw his sword, but before he could, Gu Jiao kicked it back into its sheath!
A rod rolled to Gu Jiao’s feet.
Gu Jiao stepped on one end of the rod, and it sprang up into her hand. With a reverse grip, she began to demonstrate the “Dog Beating Stick Technique.”
The bruiser quickly rushed out of the room.
Seeing Tong having trouble against the maid, he shouted, “Stop! Master Tong is from the Prince’s Residence! You mess with him, you are asking for death!”
Just like that, speak of the devil and he shall appear.
A man decked in lavish attire on horseback arrived, followed by several highly skilled bodyguards from the royal palace
The man looked laid-back and suave, a true epitome of royal charm.
He also had a pair of sly eyes.
Gu Jiao was reminded of the handsome monk she encountered in the forest.
The difference was, the monk was more handsome.
Tong also saw him, and promptly knelt down on one knee with a salute, “Fourth Prince!”
The heated scene attracted more bystanders.
However, the man hailed as “His Highness” didn’t seem agitated by the crowd. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy the attention.
He looked at Tong with a smile, “What happened?”
Tong glanced at the bruiser with the corner of his eye.
By this time, the bruiser was already terrified. The moment Tong knelt and addressed him as Fourth Prince, he was already shivering like a leaf!
Did other people not know who the Fourth Prince was? How could he not?
That’s the prince of Zhan Country!
Tong frowned slightly. This man was his distant relative. He was a bit of a bully but never crossed any lines. More importantly, many of the tasks Tong couldn’t handle were assigned to him.
