Chapter 25
Chapter 25 – Uninvited Guests – Part 2
Twenty members of Julu county soldiers stood in front of Zhang resident in two line formation . All of them put their right hand on the sword hilt on their waist .
*PON* *PON* *PON*
"We are the messengers of Julu Grand Administrator Guo Dian, Open the door!"
The squad captain shouted while he continued knocking the front gate .
The butler of the resident opened the gate in a hurry to greet them .
"Greeting sirs, may I know what you have come here for?"
"Is there a resident here who is called Hua s.h.i.+?"
"Yes, yes . She is our young mistress . "
The captain grinned . He came to the right place .
"Where is she now? We have a message for her!"
The butler was troubled . Zhang Jiao and Hua s.h.i.+ hadn"t come home yet . Whenever they went out to perform healing duty requested by the neighbor villages, they would always be away for a week or longer .
Both of them was scheduled to arrive tomorrow . The butler had to make up an excuse .
"…Sir, I"m afraid you can"t see her today . She went out with our master and won"t be back for today . "
"Hah? Who the h.e.l.l do you think we are!? We are the Grand Administrator Guo Dian"s men! We are in a hurry and we want to see her within today! If she isn"t here then go get her!"
"S-Sir, s-she went out long ago! W-we don"t know where she is right now!"
The butler answered in trembling voice . He was already an elder and he was afraid of the officials .
"Captain, I think he spoke the truth . "
One of the soldier whispered the squad captain . The butler was so scared that his entire body was shaking . He didn"t seem to lie about Hua s.h.i.+ .
Listened to the whispering, the captain glared at the butler and nodded .
"Fine! When will she come back!?"
"S-S-She will be back by tomorrow . "
"Good! Come to think of it, your house seems large, isn"t it? We are going to rest in your courtyard! Clear the place and scram!"
"B-B-But sir …"
"I SAID CLEAR THIS PLACE AND SCRAM!!"
"H-Hiiiiieee!!"
The butler was helpless . He was too scared and couldn"t respond with anything to make a comeback . He was so panic that he stumbled and fell on his b.u.t.tock .
The captain and his men barged into Zhang resident . They shamelessly walked into the resident like it was theirs .
"Hold it!"
A voice rang out from inside the resident . Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao"s brother, walked out to stop the Julu men .
"Ah!? Who the fudge are you!?" The captain asked .
"That"s my question! Who the h.e.l.l do you think you are!? This is my house! My courtyard! Get the h.e.l.l out!"
Unlike Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang"s main expertise was combat . He was in charge of the security in Zhang resident and also had an army camp of his own .
Because of the constant combats and his army job, his personality became aggressive by nature .
"Get the h.e.l.l out! Or else!"
*s.h.i.+ng* *s.h.i.+ng* *s.h.i.+ng*
Zhang Liang also had his ten personal guards trailing behind him . All of them drew their weapons, standing by for order to strike .
"Hah? You wanna fight!?"
*Sheng* *Sheng* *Sheng*
Seeing Zhang Liang"s unyielding att.i.tude, the soldier captain ordered his troops to draw out their weapons too .
The situation became tense and turned into a staring contest, a battle could break out at any time .
"Ahem! Umm … Excuse me? Can all of you listen to me please?"
A childish voice came from the front gate, behind the Julu soldiers .
Tong left the camp and rushed here after he received the mission and noticed the arrival of this group .
Tong swept his eyes around and counted all uninvited guest in his resident .
"Twenty men, an easy 20,000 lifespans . "
"Fortunately, that zombie isn"t here . The mission this time is easy . "
"But … isn"t it too easy? That troll system isn"t broken right?"
Tong shook his head in his mind . He stopped thinking or being distracted from what in front of him . Tong had to deal with this first then he would continue his a.n.a.lysis later .
"What are you doing here, brat? Get lost!" One of the uninvited soldier scolded Tong .
"I"m sorry for the late introduction . I"m Zhang Tong, the eldest son of this household head Zhang Jiao . May I ask who you all might be?"
The 20 men"s eyes changed . Half of them had lecherous look on the body of Tong . It seemed that they interested or had a fetish in the body of teenage boys .
The commander of 20 men stared at Tong and comprehended something in his mind . Then he stepped forward and introduced himself .
"I"m the captain of the messenger squad of Julu County . I"m here to visit Hua s.h.i.+ but I"m told that she isn"t here . Is that true?"
"Oh, her? She hasn"t come home yet . What do you want to do with her?"
"Our grand administrator want to invite her to be his private physician . He promises that he will raise her and her family status to n.o.ble and you all will receive annual salary from the government . As long as you cooperate with us, we will also reward you with gold . "
Tong squinted his eyes . This commander was quite a con artist . If Tong were an ordinary boy or he hadn"t received a hint from the system, he might actually believe in it .
The system hinted that Hua s.h.i.+ had done something stupid and these people came to take her . It wasn"t difficult for Tong to guess that her hobby should have been found out .
Though Tong didn"t trust her but Hua s.h.i.+ was still useful . Her medical knowledge and cheat skill were invaluable in this age . There was also a matter in the future where Tong"s father would fall ill and died in the year 184 . He would not let Hua s.h.i.+ leave easily .
"I see . Our Hua s.h.i.+ is indeed precious and she doesn"t belong in this rural area like this . I"ll cooperate with all of you . Please come inside . Butler w.a.n.g, please guide our guests to rest in my courtyard . I"ll go prepare food for them myself . "
Tong smiled as he gave out his order .
Zhang Liang was furious when he heard it . He was about to shout but he noticed that Tong repeatedly winked at him . It seemed that this little brat had cooked some kind of plot .
"AHAHAHA!! You are quite sensible, young master Zhang . We will be troubling you then . "
"Oh right, young master Zhang . I"ll have to ask you to accompany us tonight too . Some of us are so tired that they want to have you ma.s.sage us … personally . "
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!"
The 20 hooligans laughed as they entered Tong"s courtyard with the scared butler following behind .
Tong smirked, ignoring the ridicules . He walked by Zhang Liang and whispered .
"Making a commotion here will attract the guards and other officials . "
"There was a saying "If there is no corpse, there is no crime" . "
"If they were to suddenly disappear, no one can blame us because they were never here . "
"The garden in our backyard lacks fertilizers, we should tend it properly . "
"There"s a few bowls of anesthetic in my warehouse . A few drops of it is enough to make someone to feel numb if you apply it on the wound . "
"Do you catch what I"m trying to do?"
Tong winked at his uncle and walked away, following the 20 men .
Zhang Liang"s eyes opened wide . He looked at his nephew in admiration . This kid was not bad! He made a new evaluation of his nephew .
Both Tong and Zhang Liang smiled . They went back into the resident, pretending to welcome the guests .
Zhang Bao came home later for a dinner, only to found out that there were uninvited guests, partying in Tong"s courtyard .
Before Zhang Bao could make a fuse, he was dragged away by Zhang Liang and told him about the plan .
Zhang Bao"s corner of his eyes twitched . His nephew was too good at vicious schemes . Who the blue world taught him or raised him into this kind of person?
In the main hall which were used as a dinner party room, Tong was busy serving wine and food to the guests in person . All servants who were over 30 years of age were chased out by the group, and replaced them with teenage servants with the age between 10 and 20s .
During the party, the men molested every servants in the hall including Tong . One of the men grabbed his b.u.t.t and tried to move his hand around it .
Tong was angry by the action of the h.o.m.o-pedophile, but he kept his cool . Tong swatted off the lecherous hand of the man and walked away as if he was shy, making the other men laugh .
After a while, Zhang Liang sent a signal from afar to Tong, and a new batch of servants with unique wine jars came in .
Tong grinned . Party time was over .
