Chapter 2.1

Liang DaZhuang turned around to take a look, then hurriedly closed both of his tiny eyes while sighing on the inside… Oh young master, your foolish illness is showing up again! The red clothed girl receiving such treatment…

“Pu! Pu! Pu!”

She spat out several mouthfuls of water. Additionally, because of overdrinking, the pressure in her abdomen increased, causing the water to spray out with some force, hitting Hu XiaoTian’s underwear dead center. After all, the water was a nice 37 degree celsius from the heating, so when Hu XianTian felt the water hit him, his originally cold body part underneath his underwear suddenly felt nice and warm and fuzzy.

With the water forced out, in accordance with the normal process, the next step would be to perform CPR, the mouth to mouth kind. Hu XiaoTian already prepared for this step, but just as he was about to perform it, he found that the red clothed little girl has already recovered her own breathing ability. Although it is still very weak, with her current state, she shouldn’t have any more problems, so Hu XiaoTian didn’t need to continue challenging the worldly views of others’ actions, actions that shocked the spectators, but just as he was about to put the girl down…

Sounds of many horse hooves drumming the road could be heard, causing all the spectators to back off to the sides, leaving an open path. A big man with a tanned face wearing a green embroidered gown with twenty soldiers urging their horses in his direction. That man with a tanned face was like a square block, with thick eyebrows, huge eyes, a squashed nose and thick lips. Although the man’s body proportions are very st.u.r.dy, his appearance was just too d.a.m.n ugly. He rode on a black piebald horse and shouted: “Wayayayayayaya, d.a.m.n you and all your ancestors to the 8th generation, who dares to s.n.a.t.c.h my sister!? I, Your Father, will smash you into pieces!”

The twenty something group of people rode their horses furiously with faces filled with anger, their aggressive and imposing manner scared people to back away automatically wherever they went, worried that they wouldn’t be able to dodge in time.

Liang DaZhuang can be counted as someone who has seen it all in the capital, and when he saw the tanned face big guy, he immediately recognized the guy as the first son of the a.s.sistant minister of post and transportation Tan WenZhang, and his name was Tang TieHan. Information says that he was the number one bully in the capital, relying on his father’s authority, he engaged in black market dealings in the horse market, obtaining huge profits. He gathered a bunch of hired thugs and ruled the street as he wished, doing countless bad deeds. The capital wasn’t that far from Jade Cloud Lake, so he must have just gotten the news that his sister was thrown into the lake by a bunch of ruffians and then dredged up from the lake for s.e.xual hara.s.sment. When it came to being a scoundrel, who could compare with him in the horse market region? The one that dared to bully his sister was courting death, because that was equivalent to slapping the Tang family in the face. Tang TieHan a.s.sembled 20 of his thugs upon hearing the news and rushed to the scene, armed to the teeth.

When Liang DaZhuang saw that Tang TieHan and co were rus.h.i.+ng towards them, his face paled, he warned Hu XiaoTian in a rush: “Young master, bad news… her family’s here looking for trouble!”

Actually, there was no need for him to say anything, with such a big commotion, Hu XiaoTian saw them coming from a mile away.

Hoover added on: “Young master, you go first on the horse, we servants will follow behind…” His words were as loyal as can be, but both of his legs were shaking like vibrators, and his voice obviously changed pitch. These family servants might look big and strong, but they lack battle experience, all they are used to doing is bullying the weak with the authority of their master, but when it comes to actually fighting, if it’s many against one they can still be of use, but when the other side had 20 people, their courage almost instantly shattered just from the sight of them.

Hu XiaoTian looked at the date red horse tied to the tree. Ignoring the fact that his riding skills sucked, he still couldn’t escape from all 20 pursuers successfully. However, Hu XiaoTian was not afraid at all, and he just watched those thug warriors charge towards him with a murderous look, and said with a calm tone: “Why do we need to run? DaKang is also governed by Law.”

[Jerry: Not sure about this, will ask Naervon tomorrow…** was in raws]

Liang DaZhuang held the handle of the sword on his waist, puffed up his courage and walked forward to block the way of Tang TieHan and friends, suddenly letting out a huge shout, though this shout wasn’t done for the purpose of scaring the enemy, rather it was to give himself more courage: “TUT! Who are you people?”

Tang TieHan and his crowd of warriors were like thunderclouds slowly closing in, arriving in front of Liang DaZhuang in less than a blink of an eye, Tang TieHan raised the copper rod in his hand and roared with anger, sound like the sound of thunder, causing Liang DaZhuang to cower in fright : “I, Your Father, is the unrivaled Tang TieHan in the horse market region, f.u.c.k you arrogant p.r.i.c.k, you blind dirty thing, daring to s.n.a.t.c.h my sister!”

Liang DaZhuang complained on the inside, this thing today is really a hot potato, hard to handle, and his young master really is a trouble maker. Liang DaZhuang walked forward a bit and said in a low voice: “The tide engulfed the dragon king’s temple, one family doesn’t know another, Tang brother, my master is the minister of finances! give us some face!” At this crucial moment, the only thing he could do was to bring out his master’s name.

Tang TieHan looked his sister lying there, unmoving on the gra.s.s, and Hu XiaoTian sitting next to her almost completely naked, her silk girdle was lying not far away, how can he not tell what kind of utterly heartless thing had happened here, and all at once, a gout of anger filled his head, who cares if you’re the son of the finance minister, your dad’s an official, but so is mine! And hearing this family servant calling himself his brother, isn’t this outright ridicule of his father!?

Only thinking until this point, Tang TieHan stopped caring and urged his horse directly at Liang DaZhuang, who got so scared that he jumped to the side. Tang TieHan raised the rod in his hand again and charged at Hu XiaoTian, wanting to smash Hu XiaoTian into a pile of mush.

Other than Liang DaZhuang, all the family servants were all scared and jumped to the side, showing their true nature at this critical junction, each and everyone of them had the bravery of a mouse, not a single want wanted to take the blow for their master. Being a family servant had it’s code too, sell one’s body, but not one’s life!

Hu XiaoTian kept his smile, but unknowingly, a dagger appeared in his hands, the sharp tip wedged up against the red clothed little girl’s snow white neck, and then he looked at Tang TieHan with a smile: “Do you believe that I will slash your sister’s neck!?”

Tang TieHan was so scared that he abruptly pulled on the reins, causing the horse to let out a long neigh, raising both hooves high up in the air, almost throwing Tang TieHan to the ground. He was so angered that he almost stared his eyes out, but he had to refrain from shooting the rat for the fear of breaking the vases, because he couldn’t play around with his own sister’s life, so he threatened: “If you dare touch a single hair follicle, I Your Father, will break you into a million pieces!”

Hu XiaoTian let out a long sigh: “Threatening me? I, Your Father, isn’t even afraid of death, you think your sissy threats can threaten me?” moving the dagger in his hand, he cut down a lock of the girl’s hair, a single hair follicle? I your father will directly cut down a lock of hair.

“You…..”

Hu XiaoTian looked at Tang TieHan with cold eyes: “You might not be smart, but you can at least learn to be a little more behaved, if your sister dies, then it is because you forced my hand, I think you will remember that for the rest of your life right? So you better hurry up and back up some!”

At this time, the twenty other warriors also caught up, surrounding Hu XiaoTian and his servants.

Hu XiaoTian picked up the red clothed little girl and stood up, with the dagger pressed against the back of her heart, and smiled daggers at them: “All of you either kneel or I’ll kill your sister in front of your eyes!” Hu XiaoTian understand inside that he was only using words to bluff, because even if this tanned faced guy attacked with his twenty thugs, he wouldn’t be able to commit a murder, but he also predicted that Tang TieHan won’t dare to make the gamble, who would have thought that the law abiding him would commit a thing like this, taking a hostage, but the situation at hand, looks like this was the only method that could control this situation.

Seeing that Tang TieHan still had no intentions of getting off his horse, Hu XiaoTian yelled: “Get off! Unless you really want this young master to perform an on-site dissection?”

Tang TieHan didn’t understand what on-site dissection meant, but he was still scared by this yell, so he hurriedly waved his hands and motioned for his people to all get off their horses, receiving his command, the warriors all got off their horses.

Hu XiaoTian made his servants to grab three horses, and he gave the girl to Liang DaZhuang, telling him to use his blade to keep the threat, and he himself got on top of the date red horse…

Tang TieHan yelled: “Release my sister!”

Hu XiaoTian smiled and said: “Release her? Haha, wait till I return home and think about this. “ He raised the reins and rode at the fastest speed towards his father’s mansion, the four family servants all got on their stolen horses and followed along with the red clothed girl still held hostage.

Tang TieHan watched as they escaped with his own sister, and hurriedly got on his own horse, bringing his people and chasing at the fastest speed. The surrounding spectators all started jeering, and some also chased behind on foot for more fun, and someone yelled: “Bride Kidnapping….Bride Kidnapping…..Finance Minister’s Son is bridenapping a civilian girl…..”

Hu XiaoTian heard the jeers of the crowd and his heart immediately burst with joy, Bride Kidnapping a civilian girl, hahaha, becoming an evil son of an official who kidnaps a bride isn’t bad either!

Jade Cloud Lake wasn’t that far away from the official mansion of finances in the first place, and Hu XiaoTian was very familiar with the road, although Tang TieHan and his group were hot on his tail, they didn’t dare to get too close, fearing that if they p.i.s.sed off Hu XiaoTian, he would kill his sister, so he could only follow behind and yell empty threats, using all the tricks he could think of, but Hu XiaoTian wasn’t buying any of them, he could only watch as his sister was taken by that group of people into the mansion.

Tang TieHan brought his group of thugs to the back door, but the door had already shut tightly, with a few family servants locking it up tight from the inside. Tang TieHan yelled : “Hu XiaoTian, you listen up, my dad is the a.s.sistant minister of the post and transportation, you dare to kidnap my sister, if my dad reports to the emperor your entire family will have their heads rolling on the ground.” This guy didn’t even think about what he was saying before saying it, not knowing that it was not an easy thing for his dad to gain an audience with the emperor.

Once they returned inside the mansion, that bunch of useless servants instantly recovered their bravado, so Hu XiaoTian made them tie up the red clothed girl. This little girl’s violent side he had already tasted, that last whip on his forearms was still hurting.

Hearing Tang TieHan cursing non-stop outside, Hu XiaoTian laughed and said: “What a.s.sistant minister, isn’t he just a weak stable boy?” He asked Liang DaZhuang: “What rank is that a.s.sistant minister of post and transportation?”

Liang DaZhuang said: “Middle six rank!” and then said with some smugness: “Old master is Middle third rank!” sounding very pleased with himself.

Hu XiaoTian quickly calculated, his own dad was a third rank, then the gap between their two families wasn’t just a tiny bit of big, even one rank can press the lower rank to death, then with this gap, his dad can press that idiot’s dad into a human pancake.

(ED: It’s been so long~ I’ve been sick u.u I haven’t actually read any of the chapters that I didn’t edit, so I have no idea what’s going on hahaha. Oh, and I was really exhausted/still sick when I did this so please forgive me for any mistakes)

SOMEONE KIDNAPPED THE BRIDE! (Middle)

Due to Hoover’s age, he knew from experience the full consequences of forcing a civilian girl to marry against her wishes. The punishment would be heavy according to DaKang law, so he persuaded, “Young Master, if the Old Master hears of this, he will definitely punish us. Also, if this news gets around, it will be very bad for your reputation, as you have just been engaged to the young lady of the Li family. So, if this reaches their ears…” Hoover said the truth of the matter, although he didn’t mean anything too deep by it, the one who heard the words saw a different meaning.

Hu XiaoTian had been frustrated by his engagement for the past few days, but once he had heard Hoover’s words, he decided to commit to the crime without looking back. So what if he was forcing a marriage? So what if it ruined his reputation? I, Your Father, will ruin my name, and as long as I don’t do anything that was actually against the law, my third rank official of a dad can definitely sweep away the troubles for me. I am going to force this matter, and the Li family will hear about it and call of the engagement. Humph, no way am I going to marry an ugly plant woman for life. Don’t even think about it!

Hu XiaoTian had some good feelings for his minister of a dad in the past, as he had at least provided food and shelter for him. But, after Hu BuWei had decided on that arranged marriage for him, Hu XiaoTian understood that his dad viewed him completely as a political tool, and had never even once put his own happiness into consideration.

With this kind of thinking, Hu XiaoTian didn’t fear making the matter even bigger, and he laughed out loud as he picked up the unconscious girl, heading towards his own room. The group of family servants stared at his back with their jaws dropped low, because with this they saw that their young master was not stupid, but rather, he was perverted to the max! Hoover elbowed Liang DaZhuang and said, “DaZhuang, you go persuade Young Master…”

“Why don’t you go?”

Tang TieHan scratched his head in anxiety as he stood outside and yelled nonstop. He called people over and brought a ram-like tree trunk before starting to ram the door. His lackeys weren’t dumb either, so some tried to stop his actions, saying, “Boss, this is the Minister of Finances mansion. We can’t use force here, because the Hu Minister is a wealth G.o.d and has the trust of the Emperor.”

Tang TieHan glared and said, “His dad is an official, and my dad is also an official. He kidnapped my sister, so even if we bring this matter in front of the Emperor, there won’t be anything to be afraid of.”

That guy sighed. “But they are a third-ranked official!”

Tang TieHan heard the meaning behind the man’s words – he was clearly saying that Tang TieHan’s father was inferior. He gave that guy a back-handed slap without a thought. The guy spun around twice before falling in place. After he had vented a bit, Tang TieHan became more clear headed. Although he was hot-headed for a majority of the time, he wasn’t stupid. He knew that his own father was a sixth-ranked official, and there was a huge gap between his father and that guy’s father. Just the back door of the Financial Minister’s mansion alone was large and more magnificent than the front door of his home. In the horse market area, he always bullied others, but he would never have thought that the situation would reverse on him. He was p.i.s.sed, but couldn’t do anything about it.

One of his lackeys gave out an idea – to first let someone notice his dad, and let someone else go to the judicial building in the capital to call for aid. After all, they had all the advantages and weren’t afraid of making the matter bigger.

The Tang family had three sons, but only one daughter, who was called Tang QingXuan. Normally she was treated like a pearl by her family, and extremely pampered by her three brothers. As a result, her att.i.tude gradually became the way it was today – haughty and arrogant. If it wasn’t for her wild horse riding and whipping people without a word, the matter wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

Tang TieXin, the third brother, knocked on the case drum to signal a case just as the judicial building was closing.

Hu BuWei, the Minister of Finances, was sitting in his horse carriage as he calculated the marriage between his family and the Li family. Li TianHeng had the deep trust of the Crown Prince Long YeQing, as he had saved the prince from the hands of a.s.sa.s.sins in the past. The current emperor was 63 years old, with his body showing signs that he was becoming weaker day by day as he gave hints about letting Long YeQing ascend the throne soon.

One could predict that as soon as Long YeQing ascended the throne, Li TianHeng would immediately gain an important position, and as the in-laws, even if Hu BuWei didn’t get a promotion, he could still at least sit firmly on his current position without a single worry.

Thinking till here, Hu BuWei’s lips showed a hint of a smile, but once he thought of the ugly daughter of Li TiangHeng, and of his own son’s recovery, he felt a hint of guilt inside. Letting his own son marry the Li family’s young lady was definitely wronging his son, but for the sake of the Hu family’s place and future, he could only sacrifice the happiness of his son’s married life.

Hu BuWei did this for another reason that was unknown to others – he had once offended Long YeQing, so this Crown Prince didn’t have any good impressions of him, and although he had tried to repair the relations.h.i.+p through a thousand methods, it was still looking bad. A new Heavenly son will bring about a new set of officials, and there would probably be a huge slaughter to accompany the ascension of the new Emperor. When that time comes, not only will he not be able to hold onto his official position, the lives of his family would be at stake… Hu BuWei shuddered. It was a good thing that he had taken some precautions and had set up a path for retreat. With the relations.h.i.+p between his family and the Li family, he should be able to keep his family safe.

The sound of hurried horse hooves meeting ground came, and Hu BuWei heard the sword of his guard coming out of it’s sheath. Both of his personal bodyguards were top notch experts, and their vigilance was better than most people. One guard, Hu Tian Xiong, yelled out, “The person in front, how dare you block the path of Minister Hu?” From the tone of his voice, one could tell that he had already identified the newcomer, whose rank was at least lower than Hu BuWei, otherwise he would not have used this kind of tone, since there were certain things to be observed in when dealing with other officials.

The sounds of the horse hooves suddenly stopped, and a respectful voice sounded, “This lowly official is the Vice-Minister of Traffic, Tang WenZheng, with urgent matters for the Hu Minister!”

Hu BuWei slowly opened the curtains of the carriage, and saw Tang WenZhen getting off his horse. The Department of Traffic was one of the six departments, but it mainly belonged to the war affairs, and so he didn’t have too many direct connections to them. Although Tang WenZheng was only a small middle sixth-ranked official, his name wasn’t small in the capital. He possessed great skill with horses and had the t.i.tle of horse connoisseur of the current era. The Minister of War, Zhang ZhiZe, viewed him in an important light, and their personal relations.h.i.+p was as close as bosom buddies.

Tang WenZheng was tall, with broad shoulders and tanned skin. All three of his sons had his same characteristics, with the exception of his daughter, who had milky white skin and a pretty face. Anyone who had seen her would not believe that her father would have been able to produce a daughter like her, but in temper, it could be said that she was an exact copy of her father.

For a sixth rank official greeting a third rank official, getting off the horse was to be expected. Although Tang WenZheng was at the peak of his anger, in his heart he was still intimidated by Hu BuWei’s rank, so he still acted with decorum on the surface. This type of acting was second nature to almost all of the officials in the capital. If one wanted to solidify their place in the imperial court, then the skills of feigning civility was a must. No matter how much one hates the other, they must keep a smile on their face and be extra polite, without a single hint of that hatred leaking through.

Tang WenZheng got off the horse, but Hu BuWei did not move from within the carriage. He smiled slightly and said, “And here I thought who it could be. So it was brother WenZheng. Come to think of it, it has been a few days since we last met.” He didn’t ask what Tang WenZheng was here for, but he was sure that he had some matter to beg of him. As the Minister of Finances, he controlled DaKang’s territory, farming land, census registers, taxes, salaries, and everything related to finances. This gave him huge amounts of authority, and people working under him were also responsible for printing money and making gems and jewelry. He controlled all three departments that were responsible for food storage, harbor warehouses, taxation, and many other things, making him the one and only G.o.d of Wealth in DaKang. In his eyes, there was a 90% possibility that Tang WenZheng came for finance related matters, and with the matter that the Emperor gave the traffic department, – making a huge war horse raising field – the costs were taken care of by Hu BuWei.

Tang WenZheng was scared and angry at the same, throwing the reins of his horse to one of his followers. He held in his anger though, as Hu BuWei shouldn’t have gotten the news of his son abducting his daughter yet. He walked up to the carriage and whispered in Hu BuWei’s ears.

Even with Hu BuWei’s skills, he still couldn’t keep his cool and an expression leaked out onto his face after hearing Tang WenZheng’s words. How can this be? How can his son do something like that? Hu BuWei didn’t actually understand his son that well, and this was no because he didn’t care about him. Because, from small to big, he had tried his best to make the life of his son as comfortable as possible, but since his son was a r.e.t.a.r.d, this had caused the two to not communicate with each other. It was in the last half year that his son had suddenly recovered his intelligence, and started speaking. Yet, every action that this child took was strange, and as a result, there still wasn’t too much communication between them. Hu BuWei felt the strangeness of this amidst his joy at his son’s recovery, but no matter what, this was a gift from the heavens.

Hu BuWei had this son at the age of 35, with his wife, Hu Yangs.h.i.+, only having this one child this entire time. Hu BuWei might be a crafty and sly person, but towards his wife and family, he was extremely nice. Even until now, his feelings towards his wife were unswerving, and he had never brought in a concubine or have an affair with another woman. At the moment, his wife was visiting her mother’s house, and he was busy all day with official matters, so it couldn’t be helped that he had to ignore his son’s activities, but he didn’t expect something this big to come up after leaving for just five days. Hu BuWei had a headache, but he was still an old official who survived two change of the throne. To boot, he had strong acting skills, so the expressions on his face soon disappeared. He asked Tang WenZheng, “Brother WenZheng, please come into the carriage and let us chat inside.”

Tang WenZheng’s heart was almost burnt from his anger, and the thing he wanted the most right now was to grow a pair of wings and rescue his daughter from the devil’s clutches. Despite this, he was very clear on the ident.i.ty of the other, and Hu BuWEi was a third rank official – not someone a sixth-ranked official like himself could provoke. Even though reason was on his side, he didn’t dare bring this matter up to the Emperor. What was more, his daughter was unmarried. If this matter became too big, even if he successfully rescued his daughter, he was afraid that her reputation would take a dive… Tang WenZheng became more and more frustrated and angry as he thought about it.

But, no matter how much hatred he had in his heart, he had to suppress his anger. After he entered the horse carriage, Hu BuWei called to his guard Hu TianXiong and whispered in his ear. Hu TianXiong, after receiving his orders, immediately rode towards the mansion.

Book 1 Son of a Treacherous court Official Chapter 2 Bride Kidnapping (down) [i’m not sure about this cus last chap was 2.2]

After arranging all operations quietly with his guard, Hu WuBei turned towards Tang WenZheng and said in a low voice: “Brother WenZheng, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, please be at ease.” He just said that he would carefully investigate, but did not say that he would be able to show any results.

Tang WenZheng cursed on the inside. What is there to investigate? All the facts are there, asking me to not worry?! How can I, Your Father, not worry?! My daughter is kidnapped by that b.a.s.t.a.r.d son of yours and now I don’t even know how she is doing. After thinking about what could have happened to her, a gust of anger blew through his heart, but all he could do was lament harder: “Minister Hu, let us hurry back and see!” WenZheng could only endure no matter how angry he came with Hu BuWei being a higher ranked official than him.

After the Horse Carriage started moving again, Hu BuWei let Hu TianXiong return first to understand what truly happened. If Tang WenZheng was not lying, then TianXiong wanted to stop his silly son from doing any more idiotic things. Forcefully kidnapping a maiden, not a normal civilian maiden but the daughter of a court official. If this incident became wide-spread, t would only be bad news for the Hu family. Even if the emperor favored him, he wouldn’t do anything if the odds were stacked against the Hu family.

As of this moment, the Hu family mansion was in a state of disorder. Tang TieHan had brought 20 plus people from the start, and when his second brother Tang TieCheng caught wind of this incident, he brought over another 50 people and rushed over. Tang TieHan might be the oldest in the family but his third brother Tang TieCheng takes the lead in courage. After bringing all the henchmen to the backdoor of the mansion, he grasped the door knocker and slammed it on the door with great force.

Tang TieHan said to Tang TieCheng: “Second bro, I banged on that thing for half a day and the door just wouldn’t open!” He must admit, this mansion’s door has got some real st.u.r.diness to it.

Tang TieCheng gave his big brother an angry glare. When he had heard about this incident, he immediately wanted to break into a fit of cussing right there and then, and even included his big brother in the cursing. Tang TieHan took 20 something people and didn’t do anything but look as that idiotic son of Hu BuWei s.n.a.t.c.hed their sister. Absolutely ridiculous to the extreme, foolish to no ends. Tang TieCheng waved his arms and yelled: “Go chop down a tree! Ram this door down!” The people under his command immediately turned to the nearest tree and started chopping, and there were even some people who went to go look for ladders.

Tang TieHan came over to his second bro’s side and said in a low voice: “Second bro, is this the financial affairs mansion?”

Tang TieCheng’s anger that had been boiling inside immediately erupted, he roared out: “So what if it’s the Mansion of Financial affairs? Even if the Emperor dared to s.n.a.t.c.h my sister, I will still chop off his head…..” The three sons from the Tang family each had a temper bigger than the other and they would not even recognize their own family when they went mad with anger. Tang TieHan hurriedly stifled this idiot’s mouth, if what he just said was heard, then they would be screwed.

Tang TieCheng threw off the big hand covering his mouth and roared: “The people inside listen up, If you p.i.s.s I, Your Father off, I will burn this place to the ground!”

There were around 10 family servants of the Hu Family gathered behind the back door. Listening to the hollering outside, these family servants was vexed to the extreme. Liang DaZhuang had climbed up a ladder onto the walls and looked out at the 100 plus people gathered outside the back door and saw the many people who were chopping down trees and a few more carrying ladders in this direction. Liang DaZhuang got off the walls as fast as he could and shouted at the family servants: “Bad news, they brought ladders over and chopped down a big tree, looks like they are going to start attacking.”

Hoover nervously rubbed his hands and said: “what should we do.” With his master still at the royal court and the mistress at her mother’s house, most of the affairs at the mansion was taken care of by Hu An the Head housekeeper. But Hu An was sick in bed today and as for that troublemaking young master, he is probably having a great time right now. The entire mansion was in a state of chaos with there being no one to give out orders.

Just as a few people was discussing what to do, the sound of ladder being put up against the wall could be heard. Liang DaZhuang and a few other family servants hurriedly climbed up the walls and used the sticks in their hands to try and push away the ladder. Liang DaZhuang and the family servants used their combined strength and shoved the ladder off, dropping the people on the ladder to the ground with pitiful cries of agony.

Tang TieCheng was so angry sparks were flying from his eye. At this moment, the big tree was finally chopped down, and ten plus people lifted it with a shout then charged at the mansion’s back door with it.

[Images of the type of mansion they are talking about. Here, and here]

Hoover immediately took several family servants with him to back up the door.

Boom! The door trembled and a wave of dust stirred up. Two of the family servants who were backing up the door couldn’t stand the force and fell on the the ground. Tang TieHan’s vicious side was also excited by this ramming, and this guy actually took off his upper-clothing, revealing a very well built upper body. He even went up to help carry the tree trunk and ram the door, all the while: “Screw it all, slam it down!”

Liang DaZhuang saw that the situation wasn’t good so he got off the ladder wobbling left and right, saying with a terrified face: “I….I’ll go protect the young master……..”

The group of family servants looked at him with a look of extreme despise and disdain, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d wanted to run, but with such a shameless excuse?

The thick tree trunk once again slammed against the back door of the mansion. Boom! The door trembled and the ground shook under the crowd’s gathered force. Despite the fact that the backdoor was very st.u.r.dy, it still couldn’t withstand this ramming and fell off the hinges with a boom, squas.h.i.+ng three family servants who couldn’t get away fast enough underneath it, creating sounds of miserable shrieks underneath the door.

Tang TieHan and Tang TieCheng both bared their upper bodies and walked out of the dust cloud like towers of steel, their grandeur similar to two heavenly immortals descending from Heaven. Adding the near hundred helpers filled with vigor crowding after them, it had the appearance of an army of Heaven descending upon them. Both brothers had their eyes red with anger and had the mindset of not letting a single Hu family member go until justice is served.

Even though Hu XiaoTian was in the inner courtyard, the racket coming from outside was so noisy that he couldn’t pretend to not hear it. He put Tang QingXuan in his own room, but just as he put her on his bed, this girl woke up.

The fourth child of the Tang family was famous for their temper and audacity, but the one with the most guts was definitely Tang QingXuan. She opened her eyes and saw that she was wrapped up like a wrapped rice dumpling and lied in a bed of a stranger with her entire body still soaked, she screamed with a sharp voice at the top of her lungs, but just as she started screaming, Hu XiaoTian covered her mouth. He waved the dagger in his hand in front of her face, then said: “If you dare to scream, then I’ll cut your face!”

Threat, that was definitely a threat, but if you really want him to slice, he probably won’t do it.

But, it seemed that the threat took effect, because does there exist a girl who doesn’t care about her appearance? It can be said that threatening to destroy her looks is more effective than threatening to kill her. Tang QingXuan bit her lips and blinked her big eyes, staring at Hu XiaoTian until he removed his hands. She no longer dared to scream, but still asked in a small voice:  “What do you want?”

Hu XiaoTian grinned and sat on a master chair opposite of the bed, putting up a leg on the back of the chair. This scoundrel didn’t even have time to put on clothing yet, and this unconscious act of putting up his leg almost revealed everything that was still left covered. This scoundrel coughed and said: “This really is a stupid question, what do you think I want after bringing you here?” Hu XiaoTian did not feel that he was very vulgar, so he tried to say it in a vulgar fas.h.i.+on, but still wasn’t able to do it.

Tang QingXuan opened her eyes wide and glared at Hu XiaoTian : “You want to bridenap, but let me warn you, my dad is a court official, the traffic a.s.sistant minister Tang WenZheng! If you dare to be rude to me, then just wait for my dad to report this to the Heavenly emperor and have your entire family put under the axe!”

Hu XiaoTian looked at this girl, thinking that she was super cruel, I, Your Father, didn’t do anything to you yet right? And you want to put my entire family under the axe? Who’s the b.a.s.t.a.r.d that tied her up like this? Though I gotta say whoever did this is a professional, the rope bindings revealed all the right places, just like something you would find in j.a.pan AV films.

Tang QingXuan who saw that he was staring at herself couldn’t help but become slightly nervous. Afterall, no matter how daring she was, she was still a girl and the fact that she was tied up tighter than a rice dumpling without any strength to resist didn’t help either.

Hu XiaoTian said: “Traffic a.s.sistant minister, is that a powerful position? Don’t they just care for horses?”

Just as Hu XiaoTian wanted to shock Tang QingXuan a bit more mentally, he heard Liang DaZhuang’s out of breath shouting from the outside: “Young master……super bad news…..super bad news…..”

Hu XiaoTian took the dagger from the table and walked out of the room, closing the door on the way out. He saw Liang DaZuang with his big body bent like a shrimp, both hands supporting himself on his legs, and breathing heavily: “Kill……They forced their way in…..they…..killed their way in……”

Before he could finish, he saw the two Tang brothers lead close to a hundred buff men charge into the flower garden with anger on their faces.

Liang DaZhuang was so scared that his face became pale white and immediately turned around and started running away. However, just as he took two steps, he immediately remembered his duty. If he ran now, then after this incident has pa.s.sed, then there won’t be a spot for him anymore in the Hu family. After weighing the benefits, this worthless guy suddenly pulled out the blade strapped on his waist and said with fake courage: “ Young…….young….young master…..run away…..I…..I’ll cover your back…..”

Hu XiaoTian looked at this worthless guy with eyes full of contempt, this guy clearly had every single part of his body from eyelashes down to his fingertips trembling with fright. He looks as though all of his nerves are shattered, how can this guy protect himself? Hu XiaoTian said: “Do you understand what is called ‘to refrain from shooting at the rat in fear of breaking the vase’ ?”

Liang DaZhuang shook his head.

“Do you understand what ‘absolutely unrestrained’ is?”

He shook his head again.

“d.a.m.n! Could you be any dumber? We got a hostage on hand and you’re over here being afraid?” Hu XiaoTian could not bear this guy’s terrified looks anymore and couldn’t help but curse aloud.

That shout broke Liang DaZhuang out of his fear, and suddenly gave him courage to puff up his chest: “N..Not….Not afraid! I am not afraid of anything!” This worthless guy shouted that last word out so loudly that it blasted Hu XiaoTian’s eardrums so hard that they buzzed for a bit. h.e.l.l, a servant really is only a servant! f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, it took I, Your Father, this much reasoning just to teach you.

Hu XiaoTian waved his hand: “Go, bring that girl out, and put your blade on her neck.”

Liang DaZhuan nodded his head and went to the door, but just before entering, he remembered something and said: “Young master, is she wearing…..wearing clothes?”

Hu XiaoTian finally discovered that this family servant is really one of top quality, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d isn’t smart when he needs to be but he could actually consider this much at this time, so he chuckled vulgarly and said: “Smooth and clean, you got lucky!”

Gulp! Liang DaZhuang swallowed a huge gulp of drool, and his eyes almost shone with the image of that little girl’s smooth-skinned visage, but before he could continue his line of thought, he was smacked on the head by Hu XiaoTian: “b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you dare to fantasize about I, Your Father’s woman?”
