" Yes," the man replied happily. He squatted down and prepared to wake the woman up.
"Ding! The system activated…
Save the poor woman from the tiger's mouth…
Option 1: Stand up and leave the poor woman behind.
[Mission Reward: Cuju Proficiency]
[Option 2: Save all the pitiful people detained by Eunuch Tong.]
[Mission Reward: Thin Gold Body Master]
"You're a eunuch, what woman do you want? If she doesn't say those words, you'll be angry looking at her all day!”
At this moment, the system's mission selection sounded in Jia Lian's mind.
Hearing the mission reward, Jia Lian did not hesitate to choose the second option. Then, under Liu Wen's horrified gaze, he stood up and pointed at Eunuch Tong as he spoke loudly.
After saying that, everyone's expression changed. Without waiting for anyone to speak, Liu Wen pulled Jia Lian and continued,
"Besides, you look like a ghost and a human. It's like a corpse that has been dead for ten days to half a month suddenly coming back to life. Just your ugly face can scare people to tears on the streets…"
"You don't look like a human, but you still want to harm a girl. If I were you, I would jump into the manure pit and commit suicide.”
The more Jia Lian looked at this Eunuch Tong, the more he disliked him, and he spoke his mind without hiding it.
Listening to Jia Lian's scolding, Liu Wen covered his face with his palm and thought to himself that he was finished.
They were here to investigate the case secretly, not to alert the enemy.
Wouldn't this expose him?
The surrounding people all looked at Jia Lian in disbelief. They were stunned by Jia Lian's words.
They didn't know where Jia Lian had come from, but they knew that he was finished.
Insulting the manager of the Internal Affairs Office in public was no different from courting death.
"You…you, you, you bastard, you deserve to die…"
As the saying goes, don't hit people in the face, don't scold people in the face, don't scold people in the mother's name. Eunuch Tong's pale face turned red from anger after being scolded by Jia Lian.
One had to know that every word that Jia Lian scolded him was taboo.
If he could even fight to the death with such a curse, let alone so many unsightly vulgarities.
Eunuch Tong was so angry that he pointed at Jia Lian and kept trembling. He wanted to scold Jia Lian, but he was so angry that he trembled for a long time and could only scold him as a bastard.
"Where did this little thief come from? You insulted Eunuch Tong like this. Let me tell you, you are finished today. Just because you insulted Eunuch Tong today, our Xue family of Jinling will not let you off.”
A Xue family steward stood out and pointed at Jia Lian as he shouted angrily.
"The Xue family of Jinling, what kind of dog dares to scare your grandfather?
Let me tell you, even if Xue Pan of the Xue family comes, I still won't put him in my eyes.”
Hearing that the Xue family dared to stand up and threaten him, Jia Lian was instantly angered to the point of laughing.
It had nothing to do with you guys in the first place. Now that you're looking for trouble with me, how can I tolerate you?
"Give up…Men, beat this scoundrel to death.”
Seeing that Jia Lian wasn't intimidated by the name of the Xue family, the Xue family's steward angrily called for the people outside to come in and beat Jia Lian to death.
"Let's see who dares…"
Liu Wen couldn't hold it in anymore. He slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Who do you think you are? Are you with this villain?
Fine, since you're in cahoots, neither of you can walk out of here alive.”
Seeing that the Xue family's steward didn't recognize Liu Wen and that the two of them were dressed like ordinary businessmen, he pointed at Liu Wen and scolded him even more arrogantly.
He even threatened to beat Liu Wen to death.
"Bastard…"
He was the Minister of Revenue, in charge of the world's money and grain, and a figure who could make the capital tremble with a stomp of his foot, yet he was pointed at the nose by a family's steward and scolded as a dog in public.
This was the first time in his life that he had been insulted like this.
He was so angry that his beard was blowing.
"Son of a b * tch, you have guts…"
"Those outside, come in and seal off the purchasing point of the Internal Affairs Bureau.”
Jia Lian was so angry that he immediately shouted loudly and ordered the Ministry of Personnel officers and soldiers lying in ambush outside to come over and seal off the purchasing point of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Hearing Jia Lian's shout, Eunuch Tong's expression changed, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
"Brat, you still want to go after the big tail wolf? Let me tell you, you offended my Xue family today. No matter who comes, it won't work.”
The Xue family's steward sneered as he rolled up his sleeves and said to Jia Lian with a face full of contempt.
As the steward of the Xue family in Jinling, he had done many things to bully others.
It must be known that the Xue family of Jinling did not only represent the royal merchants. The Xue family of Jinling was also close to the Rong and Ning Manors and the Wang family of the Jingdou provincial governors.
Just this relationship alone was enough for him to show off in the capital. Who wouldn't give him some face when they saw him?
However, just as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside.
Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard the voice. Just as everyone was puzzled, they saw a group of soldiers dressed in the uniform of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs running in…
"My lord!"
After the soldiers entered, the merchants on both sides were afraid to make way. The leader of the soldiers came directly to Jia Lian and cupped his fists at Jia Lian.
"Capture this dog and bring him here.”
Jia Lian pointed at the Xue family's steward and ordered the Ministry of Personnel.
When the Xue Clan's steward saw this scene, he immediately panicked.
"Go…"
The leader of the soldiers turned around and gestured for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs to arrest them.
After receiving the order, two officers from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs walked towards the Xue family's steward like wolves and tigers.
"What are you doing? I can recognize you. You are the officers of the Ministry of Personnel. Let me tell you, I am from the Xue family. The Xue family is related to the Rong Mansion. Your Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Jia Lian, is related to the Xue family.”
"If you dare to capture me, your assistant minister will teach you a lesson.”
Seeing the soldiers of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs retreating, the steward of the Xue family broke out in a cold sweat. He mustered his courage and threatened the soldiers.
And when Jia Lian saw that this Xue family steward who insulted him and wanted to kill him actually used his name to threaten others, he was so angry that he laughed.
"Hmph, this lord is the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Lord Jia Lian.”
The leader of the soldiers respectfully indicated that Jia Lian was the relative that the Xue family steward had mentioned.
He looked at the Xue family's manager with disdain.
Hearing the leader's words, the Xue family's steward was instantly dumbfounded.
A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The two soldiers did not take him back and immediately grabbed him from both sides.
"Milord, this lowly one failed to recognize Mount Tai just now. Please forgive this lowly one on account of this lowly one being the Xue family.
Don't let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple, and the family won't recognize each other anymore.”
The Xue family's steward came back to his senses after feeling the pain in his two arms.
Then, he begged Jia Lian with a dejected expression.
