332: Chapter 130: What Kind of Envoy Are You?
What was supposed to be a pleasant family dinner turned into complete chaos.
Boss Cui glared fiercely at Liu Xiaohui, unable to suppress his anger.
Originally, there was a clear cause and debt, but with just your words, you’ve brought so much trouble upon me.
This wretched girl can no longer stay.
Of course, how to deal with one’s own daughters is a trivial matter; the most important thing was that the guests present tonight were frightened.
Everyone here is either rich or noble, invited because they give face to Yours Truly Cui.
With such a mess, can they still go to the government officer for justice?
That officer, with a knife and a gun and a fierce look, says he’ll kill as he pleases—who would dare provoke him?
In the end, isn’t all the resentment going to be vented on me, Yours Truly Cui?
And at such a time, he could not even afford to be angry, nor could he show a trace of resentment on his face; he could only continue smiling to appease the terrified guests, particularly Mr.
Liu sitting in the chief seat.
His bodyguards were both killed, with their brains still clinging to the wall.
Mr.
Liu’s pants were wet, his legs trembling uncontrollably, unable to take a single step.
“What are you standing there for?
Are they all dead?
Hurry and help Mr.
Liu over next door to bathe and change!”
Boss Cui slapped the dumbstruck Liu Xiaohui across the face: “First, make the guests comfortable, then I’ll settle the score with you!”
“Who are you going to settle the score with?”
Hearing this voice, a glint of life finally appeared on Liu Xiaohui’s distraught face, while Boss Cui was frozen solid, as if plunged into an ice cave.
Why is this guy back again?
Didn’t you go after someone?
“I’m asking you, who are you going to settle the score with?”
Wang Yunxiao leaped in from the balcony, entered the room, and grabbed Boss Cui’s shoulder: “Are you going to settle the score with me?
Huh?”
“No, not at all!
You heard wrong!
It’s a misunderstanding!”
Boss Cui, near tears, pleaded: “Officer, we are all law-abiding citizens here!”
“You, a law-abiding citizen?”
Wang Yunxiao laughed, amused by the response.
“A citizen who abides by the law?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“If you’re abiding by the law, there are rules for that.”
Wang Yunxiao patted Boss Cui’s shoulder, looking towards Liu Xiaohui: “Tomorrow morning you go to the police station, report every detail of tonight’s incident.
If you don’t go, or if you can’t explain clearly, we also have our ways of unclear dealings.”
Wang Yunxiao firmly gripped Boss Cui’s trembling shoulder: “Boss Cui, right?
The eight girls here, they are all your goddaughters?
If she can’t clarify things clearly tomorrow, I’ll open eight holes in you.
If what she says is not to my liking, I’ll still open eight holes in you, no problem, right?”
“No problem at all!”
Boss Cui frantically shook his head, trying to appease with a smile.
In these times, everything is man-made, and they even gave room for easing up, which was already not easy; he dared not harbor any other thoughts.
Only the good and honest people are easy to deceive, and easy to bully.
As for those who dare to kill, try deceiving them and see what happens?
He certainly did not dare to try.
“Even for people like Old Third Ding and Leng Nian, when they do something outside, I can bring them in; you don’t think you can hide so I won’t find you, right?
I killed both of them in front of you, you don’t think I’d hesitate to open holes in you because you think you have connections, right?”
“No, of course not!”
Boss Cui was almost in tears; what exactly do you want, sir?
I have plenty of money, please don’t keep talking about drilling holes; it gives me the chills.
“Alright, we’ll talk about your matter tomorrow.”
Wang Yunxiao nonchalantly pushed Boss Cui aside and approached Mr.
Liu, who hadn’t managed to leave yet, with a smile: “What’s your name, sir?”
Mr.
Liu saw him approaching and couldn’t help but gasp for air, instinctively leaning back against the wall.
“You you you…
you’re just a small government officer, yet you dare to shoot to kill in public?
Do you know who I am?”
Wang Yunxiao snorted, “That’s why I’m asking you, what’s your name, what’s your identity?”
“I am a special envoy appointed by the Imperial Court!”
“Which Imperial Court?”
“What do you mean ‘which Imperial Court,’ obviously the current one!”
“What the hell is there any Imperial Court now!
It’s the new government!”
The new government had been established for only a couple of years, and due to its smooth transition, it hadn’t stirred up much trouble; even now in Tianmen, many people habitually referred to the new government as the Imperial Court, the President as the new emperor, and the police as government officers.
This was still the case in Tianmen City, which was already gradually becoming more urbanized and modernized and had relatively well-informed channels of communication.
In more remote inland areas, such as in Jin State or Yuzhou, some common folk might even be unaware of the changes in regime.
It’s no problem for ordinary people to continue referring to it as the Imperial Court.
You, claiming to be the special envoy, don’t even have a bit of political sensitivity, endlessly chanting ‘Imperial Court.’
What are you made of?
What is your purpose?
Just now Old Third Ding had voluntarily reported, claiming that this guy had been boasting wildly during the feast, using many disrespectful and vulgar phrases towards the royalty; those present didn’t dare to chime in and could only bury their heads and drink.
Wang Yunxiao still was somewhat in disbelief.
Do you know what disrespect to royalty involves?
The result of hearing this guy talk, Wang Yunxiao had to admit there indeed was something wrong with this fellow.
Not that there was something wrong with his brain, but with his heart.
“What kind of Imperial Court special envoy are you?”
Since the other party was stubbornly resistant, Wang Yunxiao didn’t bother arguing about these meaningless issues anymore and followed his lead to continue extracting information.
Hearing how Wang Yunxiao asked this, Mr.
Liu immediately puffed out his chest and loudly said, “I am the Commissioner of Cultural and Educational Inspection appointed by the Imperial Court, why wouldn’t I be a special envoy?”
Commissioner of Cultural and Educational Inspection?
What kind of nonsense position is that?
Sounds so lowly.
Wang Yunxiao sneered, “A commissioner allows guards to shoot and kill at will?
How mighty of you!”
Mr.
Liu’s face turned red, and he retorted softly, “You were the one who killed, how can you distort the truth like this?”
“It was you who had them fire the guns, even aiming to kill me, I heard everything.”
“You heard wrong, I meant to scare you…”
Seeing that Wang Yunxiao had raised his gun to aim at his head, Mr.
Liu licked his lips and swallowed the rest of his words.
“Don’t get agitated, why get worked up while talking…”
“I’m not agitated, I just want to ask you one thing, did you or did you not speak ill of the sovereign during the feast?”
“No!”
Mr.
Liu quickly shook his head, “I was talking about the Red Lantern Society, not the President.”
“Oh, so you were talking about the President?”
“I didn’t!”
Just as Mr.
Liu began to defend himself, he suddenly seemed to have heard something and his expression instantly changed; staring at Wang Yunxiao, he angrily said, “Just what department’s officer are you to dare attack a high official, framing and falsely accusing us!
Guards!
Seize this thief!”
“Heh…”
Wang Yunxiao turned his head to look at the black-clad man who had just entered the room; it must have been him who secretly communicated, causing this guy to suddenly change his face.
He’s arrived!
Not even taking a moment to mourn the loss of a security member from the family, what arrived at the scene was a second-tier expert of the family!
