The people from last night were indeed sent by Zhou Li.
Zhou Li must be resentful that he failed to kill him last night.
Therefore, today they directly sent their servants to arrest people.
Right.
In Zhou Li's view, it would be too easy for him, the son of a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Revenue, to kill a romantic and unrefined man who had neither official rank nor any real power.
There's no need to send anyone to kill them; simply using connections in official circles is enough to crush them.
Whether you go or not is not up to you.
The servants grinned maliciously and reached out to grab Su Nan.
Su Nan gently pushed Xu Lingyue away and dodged their hands by sidestepping.
"In broad daylight, you're going to resort to violence just because your invitation wasn't accepted?"
Su Nan remained calm and stood in front of Xu Lingyue.
It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of these servants.
If it weren't for Xu Lingyue being there, and not wanting her to see those bloody scenes, these people would have already been beheaded.
Su Nan had no interest in Xu Pingfeng and the Zhou family's schemes.
But if Zhou Li were to provoke him, he would be courting death.
"My young master is the son of the Vice Minister of Revenue. How dare you refuse him?"
The servants wore smug smiles.
As servants in the Zhou household, they were subordinate to the Vice Minister of Revenue, a high-ranking and powerful official.
As long as you don't provoke those imperial relatives in this capital city, you can walk around with your head held high.
A renowned and talented playboy dares to refuse an invitation from the son of the Vice Minister of Revenue?!
Upon hearing this, Su Nan simply said, "So what if he's the son of the Vice Minister of Revenue?"
"Clap clap-"
The sound of clapping came from inside the alley.
Immediately, a young man with a delicate face and dressed in fine clothes slowly walked out of the alley.
"I had long heard that Su Zhexian was not interested in power and wealth, and seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary."
Su Nan glanced at Zhou Li with disdain.
He had sensed Zhou Li in the alley beforehand.
"I have something to attend to today, so I'll be leaving now."
Su Nan reached out and grabbed Xu Lingyue, ready to leave the place.
Zhou Li gave a wink to the servants, and they immediately surrounded Su Nan and Xu Lingyue.
Zhou Li smiled and said, "Su Zhexian, I've personally invited you, are you really not willing to give me any face?"
His gaze immediately fell on Xu Lingyue.
"The lady beside you is quite beautiful. I've never seen her before. I wonder which family she belongs to. Is Su Zhexian about to create another courtesan who will be famous throughout the capital?"
"Why don't I come with you to the Zhou residence as a guest?"
"Is the price I've offered going to satisfy both of you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lingyue's face showed some anger.
She was still unmarried and innocent, yet this person actually called her a woman from a brothel!
Su Nan frowned slightly and glanced at Zhou Li.
"Zhou Li, loose lips sink ships, be careful what you say."
Zhou Li, however, didn't seem to care and laughed, "What, has Su Zhexian changed his mind?!"
"Today, Father is hosting a banquet at the mansion to entertain several important officials of the court. He requests that you compose a few poems to add to the festivities for these dignitaries."
"If the girl next to you is willing, just name your price. My Zhou family is not short of money. The price for an overnight stay is higher than that of the most beautiful courtesans."
Xu Lingyue grew angrier as she listened, biting her lower lip tightly.
But she wasn't stupid; from the conversation just now, she had already figured out the young man's identity.
The son of the Vice Minister of Revenue!
They are definitely among the top-tier sons of powerful and wealthy families in Kyoto!
In order not to cause trouble for Brother Su, Xu Lingyue did not speak up to defend herself, no matter how angry she was.
Just leave this place as soon as possible...
Xu Lingyue felt a little guilty. She thought that if she had stayed at the brothel or not let Brother Su take her home, perhaps this whole thing wouldn't have happened.
Upon hearing this, Su Nan's eyes turned somewhat cold.
He had no interest in Zhou Li.
But this person was determined to die.
"Lingyue, you go back first."
Su Nan patted Xu Lingyue's delicate shoulder and chuckled softly.
Xu Lingyue looked worried and was unwilling to leave.
However, there's nothing I can do to help if I stay here, so I'd better hurry up and call someone for help!
Xu Lingyue glanced at Su Nan with a worried look in her eyes, then quickly ran away.
Zhou Li had no interest in the eldest daughter of the Xu family for the time being, so he waved his hand to let the servants leave.
He's only targeting southern Jiangsu today.
As for the Xu family... there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them later.
However, Xu Lingyue is indeed quite beautiful.
Zhou Li stared at Xu Lingyue's retreating figure, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
"I've released the person."
"Now you can come back with me, right?"
Zhou Li said with a smile.
Su Nan watched Xu Lingyue walk away before snapping out of his daze and asked with a smile, "When did I agree to go back with you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Li's expression stiffened, and a sinister glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Are you kidding me?"
Su Nan simply untied the wine gourd from his waist and took a small sip.
"How can I bow and scrape before the powerful and wealthy, making me unable to be happy?"
Zhou Li's face grew increasingly grim, and he suddenly waved his hand.
Whether you go today or not is not up to you.
Today, Su Nan is definitely going to the Zhou residence!
Zhou Li's idea was actually very simple.
If we could invite Su Nan to the Zhou residence, things would be much easier.
Once inside the mansion, Su Nan would become like fish on a chopping board, at his mercy.
But if Su Nan refuses to agree, then some other means will have to be used.
They could beat him half to death and then carry him into the Zhou residence.
If Su Nan had indeed secretly cultivated a certain system, and dared to retaliate now, he would have a way to deal with it.
The Ministry of Justice officers nearby will immediately rush out and arrest Su Nan and throw him into prison!
Zhou Li's sarcastic remarks were also intended to provoke Su Nan.
In short.
If Su Nan doesn't fight back, he'll die.
Even if they had the strength to fight back, they would still die.
Several servants, acting on Zhou Li's instructions, immediately rushed towards Su Nan.
Su Nan didn't even glance at the servants, but calmly drank his wine and indifferently looked at Zhou Li.
His eyes were indifferent and cold, as if he were looking at a dead person.
"boom--"
An invisible aura burst forth, and the bodies of those servants were instantly sent flying backward.
Zhou Li's eyes lit up at the sight!
Su Nan had indeed concealed his strength, secretly cultivating a certain system, rather than appearing as weak as he seemed on the surface.
Fortunately, I was prepared.
Just after these servants were blown away by Su Nan's energy, a large group of people suddenly surged out from the front of the alley.
Suddenly, a group of heavily armored soldiers rushed out, with an official in a blue robe leading the way.
He surveyed the alley, his gaze settling on Su Nan, and he said in a deep voice:
"Ministry of Justice, apprehend the criminal! All bystanders, stand back immediately! Anyone who interferes will be punished as an accomplice!"
"Guards, seize this traitor who attempted to assassinate a court official's relative in the street!"
The armored soldiers immediately rushed over and surrounded Su Nan.
Zhou Li, standing behind, wore a smug smile, bowed to the Ministry of Justice official to express his gratitude, and then looked at Su Nan with a playful expression.
Hidden strength?
