Chapter 0009: The Spear of Yu Wenhua

After all, Cui Jun is a ruthless person; if he is beaten today, it is certain that tomorrow it will be one's own turn to suffer misfortune. It is not worth it for a mere one or two taels of silver

However, the constables did not hear Ye Canghai's command and did not dare to stop their actions

"Ma Chao, pick it up. Whoever does not listen, kill them on the spot!" Ye Cang Hai pointed his golden knife at the ground, his face exuding dominance

At this moment, a constable stepped forward, after all, three or two silver coins were equivalent to their three months' salary

"What do you think you are! Captor, how many bandits have you killed, how many heads have you chopped off"

"Lord Ye, you have already struck twenty blows." Lin County Lieutenant was so angry that he could hardly speak clearly

Three or two! Ye Canghai increases the stakes again

The sound of splashing...

Even if I report this to Lord Zhang afterwards, I cannot escape the suffering of my own flesh and skin

Otherwise, it is estimated that few of these constables and yamen runners would listen to their own words

"Lord Ye, there is no need to call them; I have earned the 20 taels myself." Upon seeing this, Ma Chao drew his golden knife and charged towards Captain Cui.

This constable is eager to see who dares to strike him! Constable Cui, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws like a mad dog, is being coldly mocked and observed by Cai Daoping and County Lieutenant Lin.

Cai Daoping's face turned green, but he couldn't find the right words to refute it, so he bit his lip in anger

"What do I care about a little official like you?" Yu Wenhua's tone was quite arrogant.

After all, the iron triangle's influence is deeply entrenched; how could a few words from Ye Canghai possibly overturn it

However, the constables stood outside the door, hesitating and peering in, not daring to enter

"Ning Chong, give each of the constables executing the board today a reward of one tael of silver." Ye Cang Hai looked at Captain Cui with a gaze that resembled that of a clown.

"Alright, let's stop now," Ye Canghai deliberately dragged it out before calling out

Everyone come and see me make a fool of myself

This will not be tolerated in the future, otherwise...

Just now, I was counting quite well, but you suddenly shouted, and now everything is in disarray, causing me to have to count all over again

If it creates an impression that Cai Daoping is trying to play tricks, wouldn't that be even more interesting to watch? The iron triangle exchanged glances and revealed knowing smiles

Captain Cui let out a cry of despair as he fell to the ground in a humiliating manner. Upon turning his head, he discovered that it was actually the scoundrel Yu Wenhua who had done this.

The sound of splashing

This time, the constables did not hesitate in the slightest and fled the hall as if their lives depended on it

However, after giving Cui Jun a glare, he quickly stopped again

I, Cui Jun, admire heroes the most and must get to know them. The iron triangle has not missed a single one; they have all come in.

"It seems that this official does not recognize the brave warrior, does he?" Ye Cang Hai ignored them and continued to ask.

The constables were so frightened that they began to retreat towards the entrance of the hall

"Ye Canghai, I want to sue you, I want to kill you, I want to murder your entire family..." Cui the Constable was knocked unconscious, struggling and cursing, refusing to leave.

"You dare, I am the head constable..." Upon seeing this, Constable Cui was terrified and wanted to flee, but there were too many constables, as if he were surrounded and bitten by a pack of rabid dogs

Ah ... ... Master Cai ... ...

Alright, the ten boards have arrived!" Lin County Lieutenant suddenly shouted

With a crisp sound, a knife was thrown onto the hall in a dazzling display of golden light, landing before Ye Canghai

Moreover, they also considered simply incapacitating this fellow directly to avoid any misfortune later on

Does Mr. Cai want to shield a subordinate who shows contempt, attacks, slanders, and rages in court? Ye Canghai sternly presented a long list of 'charges' to Cui Jun.

Who would have thought that Yu Wuhua would directly kick Cui Jun into a rolling gourd? It was so fierce that even Ye Canghai did not anticipate it. Could it be that he is acting out a ploy of self-inflicted pain?

Immediately, he was pinned down by the constables, and Ma Chao stepped forward to deliver a few more kicks, while two constables swung their clubs fiercely to strike.

"County school instructor, what nonsense! Look, who is listening to you?" Yu Wenhua laughed heartily.

"Indeed, how can such heroes not be experienced firsthand?" The county magistrate Lin has surprisingly also arrived

"Who told you that you couldn't produce the reward money? Don't you three agree?" Yu Wenhua raised his finger and pointed at Cai Daoping and the other two.

"Do not heed the orders of the superior, kill first and speak later! As for whether the higher-ups will want to take my head, that is a matter for later. Ma Chao, kill for me!" Ye Cang Hai let out a cold laugh, and Ma Chao raised his blade, aiming it at a constable

Two taels! Ye Canghai has increased the stakes, yet still, no one dares to enter

"Since we are not acquainted, why should I slap myself?" With a loud bang, Ye Canghai struck the wooden table forcefully, posing a sharp counter-question.

"Let the brave man laugh! This is your reward; I, the official, thank you for eliminating the threat to the people of Qingmu County. In the future, continue to slay bandits, and the rewards I can offer will be sufficient even if I have to beg on the streets." Ye Canghai stood up, cupped his hands in salute, and personally handed the ingots to Yu Wenhua Ji.

"Ignoring the superior, this is one crime; raging in court, this adds another crime; verbally attacking and defaming the superior, this compounds the crimes. Three crimes combined, considering our shared position as officials, bring him here and drag Cui Jun down to be beaten with ten strokes of the board." Ye Canghai slammed the table, feeling troubled for not having a chance to assert his authority, and since Cui Jun had delivered himself right to his door, it was just perfect.

However, Cui the Captain, being a practitioner at the third level of body refinement, kicked down several opponents and drew his treasured sword, intending to fight his way out

"Come here, kill this scoundrel!" Head Constable Cui shouted angrily after losing two of his front teeth and getting back on his feet. Upon hearing this, the constables outside rushed in like a swarm.

"Lord Ye, what do you intend to do?" Cai Daoping shouted angrily, his face darkened.

"Are you seeking death? Those who kill officials will be exterminated along with their nine clans. Hurry and leave!" Lin Yun whispered to Captain Cui's ear.

Lord Ye is indeed the county's educational officer, whose word is as good as gold, and your silver is certainly indispensable. If no grace period is granted, the brave man will resort to reckless actions, and I, Cui Jun, will never agree to that. Cui Jun appears to be acting as a good person, but in reality, he is fanning the flames.

It seems that the flood has breached the dam; in the face of 'immense' wealth, the constables disregarded everything and surged in.

However, the constables still did not take action

Boldly! Yu Wenhua, what do you intend to do? Upon hearing this, Ma Chao, filled with rage, pointed at Yu Wenhua.

Since the fight has begun, there is fear of retaliation from Captain Cui afterwards. The two constables wielding the batons showed no mercy and struck with all their might.

Ye Canghai, someone has attacked this captain, and you actually obstructed the arrest. What is your intention? I, Cui Jun, will report you to Lord Zhang for disregarding the officials and maliciously sheltering the criminal

The threat in Ye Canghai's words was evident, and Lin County's constable was nearly faint with anger, yet he did not dare to retort, fearing that this young man might turn his aggression towards him as well

Good! Yu Wuhuan reached out to grab it, and Ye Canghai immediately felt as if his hand was caught in a large pair of pliers, causing such pain that his eyes and nose scrunched together, nearly making him cry out.

"Does Lord Ye really give out silver?" Twenty taels is too large a sum; the constables earn nowhere near that amount in a year. Finally, someone was tempted and mustered the courage to ask.

"Lord Ye, indiscriminately killing the officials of the yamen could lead to beheading." Cai Daoping said immediately upon seeing this

When the sound is made

Ah, I..." The constable Cui was suddenly startled awake, and the two fellows hurriedly dragged him away.

"Shut your mouth!" Cai Daoping slapped him, causing Captain Cui's face to twist, with blood gushing from his nose and mouth.

Help me ... ...

Let us go! Cai Daoping, with a sullen expression, went over with Lin County Lieutenant to help lift Cui Jun's head and then left

"Yuwen, one cannot speak in such a manner. The government office also has its difficulties. Lord Ye has just taken office. Why not give him a day or two of grace? It would allow Lord Ye to gather the funds, wouldn't it?" Cai Daoping said deliberately.

20 taels! Ye Canghai remained calm and composed, and with a snap, he took out dozens of taels and placed them on the table

"Alright! This golden knife of the third master of Huangfengzhai is indeed sharp," Ma Chao replied loudly as he strode over to pick up the golden knife from the ground

However, at that moment, someone kicked the thigh with great force

If you hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have held it against you; now that you have brought it up, I truly must take account of it with you

"What are you doing! Did I call you in?" Ye Canghai slammed the table, and the constables, upon hearing this, shrank their necks. However, they did not immediately exit but instead looked at Captain Cui.

Hehe, I heard that a brave man has killed quite a number of mountain bandits, so I, as an official, have come to see the valiant demeanor of this hero. Just at that moment, the sound of laughter from the chief clerk Cai Daoping unexpectedly came from outside the door
