The Imperial Guards, like Yama, slaughtered until the Empress cried out for help.

......

East Street, the Lin family mansion.

The servants lay scattered about, some still breathing, others lifeless.

"It's truly a blessing from heaven for me, Xu Laosan. I never expected to see such a beautiful woman here."

The two-meter-tall Xu Laosan smiled lewdly as he carried a girl in a yellow dress on his shoulder toward the nearest house.

The girl in the yellow dress was none other than Lin Yunyun, the daughter of the Lin family.

Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Yunyun and her servants went out to buy some rouge and face powder.

Unexpectedly, Xu Laosan had his eye on him and followed him all the way home.

Xu Laosan entered the courtyard and began to fight and kill; the dozen or so servants were no match for him.

In just a few rounds, some died and others were injured.

Her father and uncle were also thrown into the pond and their fates are unknown.

Lin Yunyun cried with tears streaming down her face, patting Xu Laosan repeatedly with her hands and feet.

With her thin arms and legs, hitting Xu Laosan was no different from tickling him.

"Who are you? Why did you kill my family? I beg you, please let me go."

As Xu Laosan listened to Lin Yunyun's pleas, his lewd expression grew even more arrogant.

"You little wench, go ahead and scream. No one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out."

"Please, I beg you, my family has a lot of money, I'll give you the money, please go."

Xu Laosan laughed heartily.

"Money? I, Xu Laosan, don't want money, I just want you."

Xu Laosan kicked open the door, threw Lin Yunyun onto the bed, and impatiently stripped off his clothes, revealing his dark chest hair.

Lin Yunyun grabbed the blanket and desperately curled up in the corner.

Xu Laosan suddenly became interested and spoke with a mocking expression.

"Little wench, how about this? I was originally planning to kill you all after I was done having my fun."

"If you serve me well, I might take pity on you and spare your lives, how about that?"

Lin Yunyun looked at Xu Laosan with teary eyes, a sense of desolation rising in her heart.

She instinctively felt that Xu Laosan was lying to her, and no matter what she did, Xu Laosan would still kill her in the end.

Lin Yunyun steeled her resolve, bit her red lips, and slammed her head against the corner of the bed with all her might.

But just before the collision, a hand as large as a fan appeared and grabbed her neck.

Lin Yunyun's eyes were filled with despair.

Someone please save me! I'll do anything for you if you save me.

begging.

Xu Laosan sneered, "I don't like playing games that result in death."

"Didn't I say that if you serve me well, I'll spare your life? Why won't you believe me?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.

"I'd rather believe a dog than believe a bastard like you."

Xu Laosan was startled. He casually threw Lin Yunyun aside and forcefully struck behind him with his palm, channeling his inner strength.

But a fist carrying domineering internal force came crashing down from behind at an even faster speed.

The next moment, Xu Laosan let out a sharp scream as his entire hand was twisted from the blow.

Xu Laosan took several steps back, his eyes filled with terror, like a young wife who had been raped.

With just one collision, he realized that he was no match for Shen Qing.

"Who exactly are you?"

Shen Qing took a step with his feet and rushed forward quickly. Then, he unleashed a powerful punch that slammed into Xu Laosan's abdomen.

Xu Laosan's eyes popped out, and his tongue stretched out desperately, as if he was vomiting up his stomach acid.

"What? The small head controls the big head, and even the eyes have grown onto the crotch?"

Shen Qing grabbed Xu Laosan by the head and slammed it onto a mahogany table three times.

"You don't recognize my face, and you don't even recognize the clothes I'm wearing?"

A glimmer of light appeared in Lin Yunyun's bloodshot eyes.

A true hero came to her rescue.

Xu Laosan, his words muffled by the impact, murmured, "You are... a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"You got it right, but unfortunately, there's no prize!"

Shen Qing turned and glanced at Lin Yunyun, speaking in an unquestionable tone.

"Get out of here. What happens next is inappropriate for children."

Lin Yunyun was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that the words were being spoken to her, and she nodded.

She staggered towards the outside, too frightened to move.

After Lin Yunyun went outside, Shen Qing smiled and looked at Xu Laosan.

"Come here, let me ask you, you were the one who did the things at the He family's place in Muddy Water Alley, weren't you?"

Xu Laosan did not speak.

"Not speaking? Didn't you hear me? Looks like your ears are just for show."

"Since it's just for show..."

"Then don't want it!"

Shen Qing grabbed Xu Laosan's ear, twisted it 360 degrees, and then ripped it off cleanly with a tearing sound.

"Ahhh!" Xu Laosan screamed in agony as if he had gone mad.

Shen Qing grabbed Xu Laosan's other ear with one hand: "If you don't talk, you'll lose the other one too."

Xu Laosan, a burly man who was two meters tall, actually burst into tears and shouted.

"I'll talk, I'll talk! I did it! I did it! I'm guilty! I'm guilty!"

"I saw that girl yesterday and was immediately attracted to her! But her father didn't know what was good for him, so I killed them all in a fit of rage."

"I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

"Please let me go!"

Shen Qing nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't rush, there's another question. Since you call yourself Xu Laosan, are there an eldest and a second eldest above you?"

Looking at Shen Qing's smile so close to his face, Xu Laosan felt no different than if he had seen a ghost.

But the next moment, a sound of flesh tearing rang out, blood splattered, and Xu Laosan's other ear was also torn off by Shen Qing.

Xu Laosan's wailing echoed through the three surrounding streets.

"I've already confessed! Why are you still..."

"I was just kidding, even if I confessed, it would be a lie."

Shen Qing smiled dismissively.

Since we've already offended the Embroidered Uniform Guard, we should be prepared to die without a complete corpse.

If you haven't even made this preparation, then why did you provoke the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Are you courting death?

Xu Laosan roared like a madman.

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard? I should have known long ago that they are nothing but the court's lackeys."

"My eldest and second eldest brothers won't let you get away with this! Even the Imperial Guards are human! They'd rather die than let you get away with this!"

He understood that Shen Qing would definitely not let him go now, so his only hope was his older brother.

"I'll tell you right now, my older brother's name is Xu Long, and he lives in Niujiao Mountain. Do you dare go find them?"

"Each of them is more powerful than me. Do you dare go?"

"They will definitely not let you go! You'll sleep, won't you? You'll rest, won't you?"

Shen Qing smiled and punched Xu Laosan in the mouth, knocking his mouth crooked.

The original plan was to have someone else check it out and just bring it back.

Looking back now, it seems it was still very necessary to make the trip.

Is someone who holds a grudge and seeks revenge?

Then I'll see just how vindictive you are.
