After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

"We'll be there soon," Yin Cheng said calmly. "As for martial arts, they're just so-so."

He thought of a rather arrogant phrase: "utterly vulnerable."

Tian Hai immediately burst into laughter, "To have Brother Da Hu as such a valiant general is the greatest fortune of my life!"

Yin Cheng said, "Brother, let's not mince words. Can you give me my monthly allowance in advance? I need to buy a hairpin for my sweetheart."

Tian Hai found it unbelievable: "Brother Da Hu has only been in Red Maple County for a few days, and he already has a girlfriend?"

Yin Cheng said proudly, "That's for sure."

Tian Hai said, "Why don't you bring your sweetheart out so that you can see her, brother? I wonder what kind of beauty she is that could catch Brother Da Hu's eye."

"I'm afraid that won't work," Yin Cheng said with difficulty.

Tian Hai asked, "Why?"

Yin Cheng said hesitantly, "I'm afraid her husband won't allow it."

Tian Hai: "..." I had forgotten that you only love other people's flowers.

Tian Hai took out a fifty-tael note from his banknotes and handed it to Yin Cheng. "Brother Da Hu, consider this your hard-earned money. Your monthly salary will remain the same. Don't worry, with your big brother by your side, you'll be guaranteed to live a life of luxury."

Yin Cheng stuffed the silver notes into his pocket, not bothering with any formalities with Tian Hai, and said, "Thank you, brother!"

"Since we have nothing to do tonight, let's go listen to some folk songs, you two."

"Brother, please."

The person Tian Hai sent to Song County won't be back for a while. Even if this person has problems, it's worth it to make use of him for some things during this period...

He pondered this in his heart, and the look in Yin Cheng's eyes became increasingly meaningful.

Yin Cheng stared at Tian Hai's calculating gaze, calmly cracking open sunflower seeds.

I'll bring Niannian to listen to the opera later. Huzhou has many scholars and students, and it's said that it has produced many great Confucian scholars. Therefore, many operas are themed around scholars.

For example, this story about a scholar and a fox spirit today is something that Nian Nian would probably find very interesting.

Tian Hai had a very grand entourage; even just listening to a song required clearing the entire venue, leaving only the two of them in the huge opera troupe.

On the stage, the story of the scholar and the fox spirit's love was still being told, while below, Yin Cheng had shattered melon seed shells all over the ground.

The play was only halfway through when a group of handsome young men, some plump and some slender, walked in.

With just a glance from Tian Hai, this group of guys surrounded Yin Cheng, touching him all over.

"Master~"

"This servant will feed you wine."

The chaotic mix of aromas made Yin Cheng sneeze, and he decided to strike first.

He extended two fingers and grabbed one of the boys' slender wrists. "What kind of incense are you using?"

The young man was taken aback, then said sweetly, "Sir, I use bamboo incense."

"It smells awful. I hate the smell of bamboo the most." He pushed the boy away and then said to another person, "I don't like big faces."

"I don't like people who are too fair-skinned."

I don't like the purple dress you're wearing either.

"You actually have long fingernails? Go play somewhere else."

A moment later, Yin Cheng said to Tian Hai with a bitter face, "Brother, next time there's an occasion like this, just let me know in advance and I'll bring my own people. You... those who know you know I look down on you, but those who don't might think I'm disrespecting you."

Tian Hai assumed he had some quirk and said, "It's because you didn't think things through, Brother Da Hu, that you've put me in a difficult position."

Yin Cheng seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder, saying, "It's indeed difficult."

Tian Hai was momentarily speechless. He waved his hand, dismissing the group of young men.

Yin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion, and then continued to eat sunflower seeds.

Tian Hai didn't cause any trouble in the second half of the trip. By the time they came out of the theater, it was already completely dark.

No one knows what Tian Hai is up to now, making Yin Cheng go to the evening market with him.

Yin Cheng immediately said, "Brother, do you have some kind of unusual fetish?"

Tian Hai was puzzled. "Brother Da Hu, why do you say that?"

"Why are you shopping with me if you're not going shopping with your husband?" Yin Cheng silently took two steps back.

Tian Hai gritted his teeth, thinking that if this man's skills weren't decent and he wasn't still useful, he would have killed him long ago.

Tian Hai smiled and said, "Didn't you say you had a lover? I own several jewelry shops in the city. Why don't you go and take a look? If you see anything you like, just tell me, and I'll give it to you."

Yin Cheng immediately said, "Thank you, elder brother. Please, elder brother. It is my great honor to follow you."

Tian Hai introduced the businesses in Hongfeng County to Yin Cheng, "Brother Da Hu, apart from gambling dens, taverns, teahouses, cloth shops, and silver shops, any business that makes money in this city belongs to the Tian family."

This move was also to demonstrate his wealth to Yin Cheng; if Yin Cheng was after money, then he would be an excellent employer.

He hadn't considered that Yin Cheng was a government official. After all, even if an imperial envoy was sent from the capital, they would only start the investigation with his brother-in-law, Pang Hong.

Moreover, Yin Cheng's murderous aura doesn't seem like that of an official.

Upon hearing this, Yin Cheng immediately said admiringly, "As expected of the eldest brother, his wealth is beyond the reach of others."

When it comes to flattery, Yin Cheng is quite adept, after all, he has an emperor in his family, so he can easily come up with obsequious words.

Tian Hai waved his hand modestly and said, "It's just enough to make a living."

Yin Cheng noticed that wherever Tian Hai went, the crowd automatically made way for him, for fear of bumping into him.

He thought to himself, even his brother wouldn't be that arrogant. It seems that this Tian Hai really is a local tyrant.

Tian Hai seemed to thoroughly enjoy the fear of the people as he swaggered down the middle of the road.

Just then, a child's football rolled into the middle of the road and happened to bump into Tian Hai's feet.

The boy ran up to Tian Hai and was about to pick up the football when he looked up and saw the owner of the brocade shoes. Before he could say anything, he was kicked by one of Tian Hai's men.

The child was immediately thrown two or three zhang away. His family members rushed over, picked him up, and stepped aside, silently shedding tears and not daring to look at Tian Hai.

The people around seemed to take it all in stride; no one dared to criticize or sympathize.

The change happened so fast that the child coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, staining his clothes red.

Bai Yuchen pushed through the crowd, took out a needle, and pricked the child several times. "His heart and lungs are injured; he needs to rest for a while."

The husband, holding the baby, nodded with tears in his eyes. As if suddenly remembering something, he pulled Bai Yuchen and made a trembling gesture to be quiet.

Tian Hai's men were already paying attention to the commotion, so this scene naturally caught their eye, and he immediately began to angrily rebuke them:

"Who do you think you are? How dare you! Haven't you heard of our Master Hai's reputation? You dare to meddle in other people's business? I think you're tired of living."

Bai Yuchen put away the needles, ignoring the subordinate, and said gently, "I'll write you a prescription. Take the medicine on time, and the child will get better soon."

The husband wished he could kneel down before Bai Yuchen. He couldn't stop wiping away his tears, but he only dared to whisper his thanks: "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor."

Tian Hai's men were used to swaggering around, but they never expected to encounter such a rebuff today. They felt humiliated in front of everyone and their faces fell.
