Chapter Twenty-Four: The Rod Strikes Down the Wicked Woman

  Shangguan stared blankly at his own hand, then looked at the woman who was lying on the ground and convulsing. His mouth slightly agape, he had just punched her to the ground with one fist? Just now, he didn't want that drunk person to get too close to him, so he stretched out his hand.

  "Boss!" The other two women, seeing their leader fall to the ground and convulse, released their grip on the man and stormed over, "Where did you come from? You're simply courting death." Although they were also puzzled as to how a seemingly weak and innocent girl like Zi Ruoye could knock down their boss with one punch, but looking at Zi Ruoye's drunken appearance, they ruled out her possibility.

  This young master... might actually have some kung fu skills! The two women exchanged a look, how could these two robust women not overpower a weak and feeble man? Thinking that the previous move by Shangguan Meng was just luck, the two of them suddenly gained confidence.

  Zi Ruoye slightly narrowed her eyes, looking at the person who was still staring at his own fist in a daze, and a smile flashed in her eyes. "Today... I'll let you be the one to hit the bad woman." The soft voice reached Shangguan Meng's ears, only then did the still confused person come back to his senses.

  Two women rushed towards them instantly, but Zi Ruoye slowly raised her head to take a sip of wine. Her footsteps were disorderly and seemed to be without any pattern, yet she managed to narrowly avoid the pincer attack of the two women with Shangguan Meng. It was as if the obviously foolish person who looked like he had been drinking was leading Shangguan Meng in evading one move after another.

  "Hmm... how did that go again?" Murmured Zi Ruoye to herself, deep in thought, already enraged by her own evasive maneuvers.

  Shangguan Meng had long been drawn to Zi Ruoye's inexplicable movements, why did it seem like she was just taking random steps, yet every time she managed to cleverly dodge her opponent's attacks? Her sparkling eyes were filled with curiosity, but looking at the two people in front of her who were swaying back and forth was really annoying. However, he didn't want it to end so quickly, who was this woman who had been taking him to beat up bad guys all along?

  "I remember! Let's sing a nursery rhyme!" Zi Ruoye said with a smile, spinning her body and bringing Shangguan Meng along, the wine jug spinning in mid-air, making it seem like Shangguan Meng was holding her small wine jug. "First line! Drunkenly lifting the jug, strength of a thousand jun!" A hook punch struck one of them under the chin, with three parts clever force and seven parts internal force, guaranteed to shatter all their teeth in one go!

  Another woman saw her partner being knocked to the ground with a violent cough and mouthful of blood and broken teeth, opened her mouth, pulled out her knife, it seemed that bare hands were not enough.

  The gleaming knife shone with a cold light in the sunlight, and Shangguan Meng's cheeks puffed out, making his already somewhat chubby face look like a steamed bun. In a soft and sticky voice, he said fearlessly, "Hmph! That broken knife of yours isn't even worthy of being used by our family's cook."

  Pfft! She couldn't help but be amused by the officer's words, her small face slightly pouting as she looked away, her cherry lips curling up in disdain for that knife.

  He had been mocked three times, four times, and that person was already furious, had long lost his reason, and with red eyes, he swung the knife and pounced. Director Ouyang was not afraid of the big knife that looked very dull, and just when Zi Ruoye smiled, she let go of his hand, reached into her sleeve, and had a look that said "you're dead for sure".

  Zi Ruoye carried Xiang Gongming on her back, but didn't notice his small movements. However, she heard the wind behind her and found herself leaning against Xiang Gongming's back. She hooked her foot around his and launched a counterattack from both sides, kicking straight at the approaching person's chest! "Third move! Drunken Wine Cup Kick!"

  With one foot, she flew out a few steps away. Zi Ruoye saw that the people on the scene no longer had the ability to stir up trouble, and swaggered towards the alley entrance, drunk and dizzy as if about to fall over. However, Shangguan Meng shouted, "Hey! Why didn't you say the second sentence just now? How did you directly jump to the third sentence?"

  Zi Ruoye turned around, shaking the wine bottle. "My wine is gone, so I'll just shorten my sentence. You should head back early." Zi Ruoye walked away leisurely without looking back.

  Shangguan Meng's face was flushed with excitement, she wanted to chase after him but saw the man who had just been scared stiff, so she went to help instead. "Don't be afraid! The bad guys have all been beaten down by me!" Her small face was full of pride and her smile was as warm as a sunny day, touching people's hearts.

  That man had long been frightened out of his wits, and could only instinctively thank him. He wanted to try to stand up, but his legs had already gone soft. Magistrate Murong furrowed his brow, he couldn't move, what was he supposed to do?

  Just as he was getting a headache, he heard someone calling him from outside the alley. He hastily shouted back, "I'm here! I'm here!"

  The guards who followed Shangguan Meng disappeared and started searching. Usually, they were the treasured darlings of the entire household, but now they had lost him on just one outing, and even offering their heads in apology wouldn't be able to eliminate the master's anger.

  After searching for a long time, I finally heard the voice of Shangguan Meng. I rushed over and saw that my own young master was standing in front of an unfamiliar young master, with his hands on his hips looking at them. The leading servant stepped forward and asked doubtfully, "Young Master, what's going on?"

  Looking at the three women crouching on the ground, it seems that they have been through a fierce fight. What's going on?

  "Quickly close your eyes! Then send these three people to the government office, and have someone escort this young master back home." Officer Shang hastily told everyone to shut their eyes. Father had said that a man's body, except for his wife, couldn't be seen by others! Now with so many people, how could they all be considered this man's wives? It wouldn't do, it wouldn't do!

  The people below hurriedly responded to the sound, took the clothes and let Officer Wu give them to the young master to wear. He had just opened his eyes and looked at the three people on the ground, asking, "Young Master, who are these three people?"

  "These three rascals just tried to bully that man and me, but I defeated them!" With her hands on her hips, she looked at the crowd with an air of triumph, as if to say "Hurry up and praise me, I'm really awesome!" Her sparkling eyes shone with a proud expression, but in her heart, she secretly thought, "I helped you keep your secret, oh yeah! You left so quickly, definitely didn't want anyone to know!"

  Look at me, look at you, they know that the young master of their family doesn't know any martial arts, but looking at the situation now, it's clear that there has been a fight, or perhaps not even a fight, because these three people lying on the ground are simply being bullied.

  "Take them away!" He gave a signal, and the others took away the three people who were still unconscious on the ground. How dare they bully their young master? It's simply unbearable. The torture instruments in the Ministry of Justice prison are basically useless, if the superior finds out, won't they be skinned alive?

  Shangguan Meng nodded in satisfaction after seeing the three people being forced to leave, and said to everyone, "I'm tired, let's go back. Father and mother must be worried." He patted his hands and walked out.

  Today, their young master surprisingly didn't want to play anymore... If he hadn't made a fuss about leaving, they wouldn't have followed him out either. On the way, they said they wanted to play until sunset, but looking at the sun in the sky, it's only this time? Although I don't understand why their young master suddenly changed his mind, I still follow behind and return to the mansion together.

  "Mother! Mother!" Xiang Guan Meng rushed back into the mansion and ran with small steps directly to the study of Xiang Guan Fei, the Minister of Justice.

  Shangguan Fei was chatting with Shangguan Meng's father when she heard the voice of her precious son, and lightly smiled, "Meng'er seems to have encountered something delightful today, judging from his tone."

  "I'm afraid he's bought something interesting again." The person next to him replied with a smile, this son they loved and spoiled, but they didn't know why Uemura had always been like that since childhood.

  "Mother!" Shangguan Meng rushed into the study, her little face already flushed with a faint red, at this moment she looked like two ripe peaches, soft and tender. "Is Father also here?"

  "What's so urgent?" He pulled over his small hand and gently helped him catch his breath, but was startled by Shang Guan Yun's next sentence.

  Pfft! Xiang Guan Fei, who was drinking tea, also stared with wide eyes at Xiang Guan Meng. What did her precious son just say?

  It seems that the young master is not satisfied with his parents' appearance, and Shangguan Meng puffs out her small face, takes a deep breath, "I want to get married! Today, I met the person who makes my heart beat faster, just like Father said!"

  Her little face curved into a smile, her sparkling eyes twinkled, and she nodded! That person will definitely be good to herself! They're going to take down the bad guys together! If she dares not to go to him, she'll touch the thing in her arms, smiling sweetly, but the sweetness seems to seep into her bones.

  "Really? You said you're getting married?" Up close, Officer Fei jumped up from her chair, how could she go out for a trip and end up getting married?

  "Yes! Meng'er is going to get married!" The firm tone carried an unshakeable determination, but it made the Upper Guan couple even more worried.

  "Who should I marry?"

  "Hmm..." pouting, thinking carefully, "Wearing purple clothes, holding a small wine jug, seems to always be drunk... has very impressive martial arts skills..."

  Listening to Shangguan Meng's description, the Shangguan couple couldn't help but cry and laugh. This... although it wasn't to the extent of a handful or a large quantity, the scope was not small either! It turned out that their son didn't even know his fiancée's surname or name!
