124: Chapter 124 The Terrified Master Su

It turned out that Master Su wanted to marry his daughter by a concubine to Chen Hu.

If it were just a daughter by a concubine, that would be one thing, but she was the daughter of his least favored maidservant.

Simply put, Master Su wanted to use Chen Hu, yet he looked down upon his status.

After sending the matchmaker away, Chen Hu continued on his way to the Fierce Tiger Gang General Hall.

Last night, he had obtained a piece of intelligence regarding a strange beast from an intelligence card.

Therefore, after arriving at the General Hall, he ordered someone to call Ye Fan, and instructed him to gather Da Niu, Er Niu, Song He, and the others to head to the Small Mountain Village.

Soon, the group arrived.

They rode their horses straight toward the North Gate.

Meanwhile, Matchmaker Wang arrived at the Su Residence.

However, she had to wait for over a quarter of an hour before she finally saw Master Su Quanzhong.

"Matchmaker Wang, how did the matter I entrusted you with go?" Su Quanzhong asked weakly, his eyes sunken, clearly from excessive indulgence.

Matchmaker Wang's Face fell: "Master Su, Chen Hu has rejected your marriage proposal!"

"What?"

Hearing that Chen Hu actually dared to reject his proposal, Su Quanzhong was instantly enraged: "That ungrateful dog! For me to think highly of him is his family's ancestors smoking with good fortune. To dare to reject me, he must be tired of living!"

"Master Su, please calm down. That Chen Hu is blind; don't ruin your health over him!"

"Useless trash! You can't even handle a small matter. Get out of my sight!"

As he spoke, Su Quanzhong grabbed a teacup and threw it at Matchmaker Wang.

Fortunately, Matchmaker Wang was used to traveling the streets and was quite nimble, so she dodged the teacup thrown at her.

Then, without another word, she slipped away.

"Someone come here!"

Su Quanzhong's anger had not yet subsided. He saw a servant and ordered him to go call the steward, Su Dafu.

Soon, the steward Su Dafu came running over and asked respectfully: "Master, which dog of a servant has angered you? I will go teach him a lesson right now!"

"Dafu, I was kind enough to want to marry my daughter to Chen Hu, but I didn't expect that dog to be so ungrateful!" Su Quanzhong snorted coldly: "That dog must not take me seriously. He needs to be taught a lesson. Take my visiting card and go to the Prefect's Office immediately.

Since that dog is in the Gang, have the Prefect's Office send some men to ruthlessly suppress the Fierce Tiger Gang. I want that Chen Hu to come crawling to me on his knees, begging for mercy!"

"Yes, Master, I will go do it immediately!"

Soon, Su Dafu arrived at the Prefect's Office with the visiting card. After submitting it, he waited for Prefect Yang Ze to receive him.

Upon learning that Su Quanzhong had sent a steward to visit.

Yang Ze was slightly annoyed, but remembering that Su Quanzhong's older brother was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and prepared to meet Su Dafu.

"Greetings, Prefect!"

Relying on his master's power, Su Dafu did not kneel, only offering a perfunctory cupped-fist salute.

This caused Yang Ze to furrow his brows slightly.

"Speak, what is your business in seeking an audience with me?"

Su Dafu said: "Prefect, that Chen Hu of the Fierce Tiger Gang has offended my master. My master hopes that you can send men to ruthlessly teach Chen Hu and his Fierce Tiger Gang a lesson!"

"What?" Hearing this, Yang Ze almost doubted his own ears. He stared at Su Dafu and said: "You want me to send men to teach Chen Hu and the Fierce Tiger Gang a lesson?"

"Yes, Prefect Yang, you heard correctly!"

"Do you know who Chen Hu is?" Yang Ze asked, suppressing his patience.

"Isn't he just a member of a Gang? Can he really turn the world upside down in front of the Imperial Court?" Su Dafu said dismissively.

Seeing that Su Dafu did not take Chen Hu seriously, Yang Ze was almost amused by his stupidity: "Do you know that Chen Hu is in the Marrow Refining Realm? In our Linjiang Prefecture, there is only one Marrow Refining Realm expert!"

"I know, but so what? My master's older brother is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!" Su Dafu said with disdain.

"I cannot do this. You had better find someone else!" Yang Ze waved his hand, as he had already realized that both Su Dafu and his master were idiots.

Even he, the Prefect, had to send gifts to build a relationship with Chen Hu.

Yet the mere Su family dared to look down on a Marrow Refining Realm expert.

Seeing Yang Ze refuse, Su Dafu felt somewhat dissatisfied: "Prefect Yang, my master's older brother is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If you help my master, perhaps he will put in a good word for you with the Vice Minister later, and who knows..."

"Get out!"

Yang Ze's Face darkened. This guy was actually trying to dangle empty promises in front of him; he was truly clueless.

"Someone, beat him out! Actually, just throw him out!"

Although he was very angry, he still had to show some Face to the Vice Minister Su.

Soon, bailiffs came in, grabbed Su Dafu, and dragged him outside.

"Hey, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"Do you know who I am? I am the steward of the Su Residence."

"If you don't let me go, I will peel the skin off you! Ouch!"

Thrown outside the main gate, Su Dafu climbed up from the ground, rubbed his buttocks, and wanted to curse loudly, but didn't dare to. He decided to go back and make a serious complaint to his master.

Meanwhile, Yang Ze had returned to his office.

Seeing Advisor Zhang Yang, who was handling official business for him, he said: "Advisor, let me tell you a joke. Su Quanzhong sent a steward over to ask me to send men to deal with Chen Hu!"

"Pfft!"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud, then said with a smile: "Prefect, I do know a bit about Su Quanzhong. That guy only made his fortune because his older brother supports him. As for the man himself, he appears to be quite foolish."

"Over these years, out of respect for Vice Minister Su, no one has made things difficult for him."

"After a long time, he inevitably became a bit narrow-minded, believing that everyone in Linjiang Prefecture must give Face to his older brother."

"If everyone feared officials, there wouldn't be so many great bandits in this world."

"That Chen Hu is a Marrow Refining powerhouse. If he is truly provoked, he could directly wipe out the entire Su family and flee Linjiang Prefecture. What could a Vice Minister brother do then?"

"Isn't that the truth!"

Yang Ze also nodded with a smile.

"By the way, Prefect, I think it would be better to send someone to warn Su Quanzhong. Yes, it's best to make it clear to avoid him continuing to act stupidly. If he ends up provoking Chen Hu and getting his whole family wiped out, Vice Minister Su will hold you accountable, and you won't be able to escape the blame!"

Yang Ze's expression turned serious: "That makes sense. In that case, why don't you go, Advisor?"

"Very well!" Zhang Yang nodded.

On the other side, after Su Dafu returned to the Su family, he tearfully complained to Su Quanzhong about his encounter at the Prefect's Office.

This enraged Su Quanzhong, who decided to write a letter to his older brother in the Royal Capital to lodge a serious complaint against Yang Ze and have him removed from his post.

Just at this moment.

A servant came to report that Advisor Zhang from the Prefect's Office had come to request an audience.

"Could that guy be here to apologize?"

Su Quanzhong thought to himself, then ordered someone to invite Zhang Yang in.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

Zhang Yang said: "Master Su, I am here today primarily under the orders of the Prefect to tell you not to target Chen Hu!"

Hearing this, Su Quanzhong was furious, slamming the table and saying: "Insolent! This is simply going too far. If you won't help, that's fine, but you dare to threaten me?"

"Master Su, please calm down. Actually, the Prefect is doing this for your own good!"

Seeing that Su Quanzhong was about to get angry again, Zhang Yang quickly raised his hand and said: "Please don't get angry yet. Listen to me clearly. Chen Hu is a Marrow Refining powerhouse. Master Su, as you are not a martial artist, you might not understand how strong a Marrow Refining powerhouse is. Our Linjiang Prefecture has 5,000 City Guards, but even if all 5,000 were sent out, they would still not be a match for a Marrow Refining powerhouse."

"And your entire Su family has only two hundred people, and although you have seventy or eighty guards."

"But as for these guards of yours, Chen Hu only needs to release his Aura, and all of your guards will have to kneel."

"If he wants to wipe out your entire family, no one in Linjiang Prefecture can save you."

"He wouldn't dare!"

Su Quanzhong shouted, his voice harsh but weak: "My older brother is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"

"Master Su, have you never heard the saying 'distant water cannot quench near thirst'?" Zhang Yang said with some mockery: "Let alone your brother being a Vice Minister, even if he were the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, when Chen Hu wipes out your family, it would be impossible for him to fly from the Royal Capital to save you."

"As for afterwards, your brother might send people to hunt down Chen Hu, but he is in the Marrow Refining Realm. The world is so big, where can he not go?"

"Actually, not to mention Marrow Refining, even if a Bone Refining Realm expert wants to escape, it is very difficult to catch them."

"Therefore, are you willing to gamble the lives of your entire family on whether your brother can avenge you?"

Hearing this, Su Quanzhong was so scared that he was at a loss, and his fat body slumped onto the chair.

"Master Su, do you still want to deal with Chen Hu?" Seeing this scene, Zhang Yang felt even more disdain in his heart.

"No, I won't deal with him anymore!"

Su Quanzhong waved his hand, his Face pale.

"In that case, I will take my leave!"

Offering a perfunctory cupped-fist salute, Zhang Yang stood up and left.
