They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 454 Conflict
A patrol squad from the Nine Cities Garrison saw the fight taking place and a crowd of onlookers gathered nearby, so they rushed over.

"What are you doing?"

"What's going on? Stop it!"

"Chunfen, come back."

"Hey."

Chunfen was very obedient. As soon as Xu Zhichun spoke, she stopped and retreated. However, the two servants of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion were enraged and did not take the patrolling soldiers of the Nine Cities Garrison seriously at all. When Chunfen withdrew and retreated, they took the opportunity to pounce on her fiercely, wanting to teach her a lesson.

Spring Equinox was taken aback. In his haste to dodge, he didn't manage to avoid the punch completely and was struck in the chest. He groaned and staggered back, furious: "You're being unreasonable!"

Despite the reprimands from the military police, the two servants of the Marquis's mansion remained unrelenting and attempted to press their advantage to defeat Chunfen. Bai Bao hurriedly shouted at the military police, "These lowly women are people the Rong'an Marquis's mansion wants to deal with. The Rong'an Marquis is my uncle. Don't meddle in other people's business."

Xu Zhichun sneered: "Spring Equinox, no need to be polite."

"Ok!"

Even if they tried to "press their advantage," how could those two lackeys be a match for Chunfen? Chunfen made a move that was a royal flush.

Annihilate the enemy in one move.

Before the patrolling soldiers of the Nine Cities Garrison could figure out how to deal with the situation, two servants from the Rong'an Marquis's mansion had already been knocked to the ground, clutching their stomachs and groaning in pain, unable to get up.

Patrol soldiers: "."

Bai Baoying's face turned even uglier. He pointed at Xu Zhichun and shouted, "This vile woman dares to oppose the Rong'an Marquis's mansion! Seize her! Seize them all! Beating people in the street, arrest them and put them in jail!"

The patrolling soldiers couldn't refuse to give face to the Rong'an Marquis's residence. Besides, it was a fact that Xu Zhichun had assaulted someone. They might as well seize on this point and take the person away first, then see how the Rong'an Marquis's residence would react.

If the Marquis's mansion pretends nothing happened, they can just lock the person up for a couple of days and fine them some money; if the Marquis's mansion sends someone to inquire about it afterward, then it depends on what the Marquis's mansion means.

These women are really bold. Why did they have to provoke the Marquis's mansion? Do you think you can afford to mess with them? Be careful, or you'll lose your lives and no one will even cry foul for you.

"Nine Cities Military Command?"

Xu Zhichun glanced at the patrolling soldiers with a complicated look in her eyes. Could she say that this was a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple? Her man was now the deputy commander of the Nine City Garrison, the undisputed second-in-command.

"Madam, would you please come with us?"

Xu Zhichun smiled slightly, took out a token, and waved it in front of the leader: "Do you recognize it?"

The leader was initially displeased, but upon seeing the token and the words on it, his expression immediately changed, and he stared at Xu Zhichun in shock: "This, this—"

His knees buckled and he almost knelt down, hurriedly bowing and clasping his hands in apology—

“There’s no need for such formalities outside,” Xu Zhichun quickly stopped him, “It wouldn’t be good if people saw us.”

The leader felt a surge of gratitude and whispered his thanks, "Yes, thank you, Madam."

Xu Zhichun sneered: "You surnamed Bai, do you think the people of the Nine Cities Military Command are your servants? To be ordered around by a good-for-nothing like you? You're nothing but a dog relying on its master's power, a fox borrowing the tiger's might, what are you? So arrogant that you don't even respect anyone?"

Bai Baoying's face contorted with rage, his fingers trembling: "You...you dare to insult me? You actually dare to insult me? What are you all standing there for? Why aren't you arresting this bitch? I'm going to put her in jail! I'm going to beat her! Give her a good lesson!"

The leader, with a cold face, seemed not to have heard anything. He glanced at him, his eyes looking as if he were looking at a dead man.

There are plenty of fools in the capital, but few are as foolish as this.

Even though spoiled brats are domineering and bully others, most of them still have some sense of propriety.

Unlike this guy, who was completely blind. Although the soldiers following him didn't see what Xu Zhichun showed the leader, they were all knowledgeable and sensible men. They knew there must be a reason for the leader's change in attitude, so they followed suit.

How could the leader allow this person to curse the deputy commander's wife so brazenly in front of him? If the deputy commander found out, wouldn't he be in deep trouble?
"Is this Young Master Bai? May I ask what your official rank and position are? Is our Nine Cities Military Command under your jurisdiction?"

Bai Baoying was dumbfounded: "W-what?"

"If the Nine Cities Military Command is not under your jurisdiction, you should be more polite in your speech."

"you--"

Xu Zhichun: "This man surnamed Bai blocked our way in the street and bullied us by taking advantage of his power. If it weren't for my maid knowing a little martial arts, we, master and servant, would have been in trouble. He is simply lawless and a scoundrel. Take him back to the yamen and interrogate him properly. I'm afraid he has done this kind of thing quite often."

“This lady is right, that is the way it should be. Men, take Young Master Bai and his servants back.”

"Yes!"

"You dare! You dogs, you must have been bribed by this slut! If you dare touch me, the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion will not let you off! Xu Shi, don't be so smug, the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion will not let you go!"

"You dare to oppose the Marquis's mansion? You're dead!"

The leader stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and slapped him twice, left and right. "Show some manners! How dare you talk like that?"

This is their deputy commander's wife!
Bai Baoying was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face, and he screamed in disbelief.

Hit him? How dare those lowly patrolling thugs from the Nine Cities Garrison hit him, a direct relative of the Marquis?
"you you--"

The leader glared at him: "What did you say?"

Bai Baoying was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound, shrinking back like a quail, not daring to look at the leader.

The leader looked on with disdain. What a coward! All he's good for is relying on his master's power.

"Please proceed, Madam."

"Row."

Xu Zhichun led Lu Yin and the others away.

The leader watched them walk away before shouting, "Take them away!"

Without saying a word, a group of people took Bai Baoying and the others away.

Bai Baoying chickened out, cursing inwardly with anger and resentment, but at least dared not utter a sound. The servants of the Rong'an Marquis's mansion, however, remained arrogant, continuing to threaten him.

The leader got annoyed and ordered something to be stuffed into their mouths, which finally calmed them down.

Was he easily frightened?

Isn't the deputy commander a marquis?
With General Xie's backing and the Emperor's favor, what is the Rong'an Marquis's mansion? Even if there is a Consort Xue in the palace, she is not on the same level.

Everyone in the capital knows that the Emperor and Empress are a loving couple.

After meeting up with Mu Qi and the others, Xu Zhichun briefly recounted what had just happened. Mu Qi was furious and instructed his men to escort his wife and Miss Lu back to the Marquis's residence. He then hurried to the Nine City Military Command to find the Marquis.

Xu Zhichun sent someone to the Ministry of Revenue again to inform Ji Yingxuan as well.

Upon hearing the news, Ji Yingxian pondered for a moment before arranging to meet Liang Minglang at a teahouse to discuss how to use this matter to entice the Rong'an Marquis's mansion to come to them.
