422: Chu Jiang called people ants, Tao Yun was frustrated and went to the Marquis' Mansion.

Hearing these words, the various aristocratic families present, including the East Earl Residence, were stunned.

What?

What are you talking about?

The smile on Tao Yun, Son of the East Earl's Face instantly vanished.

He almost fainted from anger.

Why would the Demon Suppression Guard under Chu Jiang just happen to get lost in the East Earl Residence? You just arrived, haven't even entered the county city, and the Demon Suppression Guard can get lost?

However, before Tao Yun, Son of the East Earl could even think about how to react.

With a clang.

Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and others understood, immediately drawing their blades and shouting, "All Guards, listen up! A brother of ours is missing in the East Earl Residence! Enter the city and search... search for our missing brother!"

"Kill... Charge!"

"Charge!"

Thousands of Demon Suppression Guards and Tiger Brave Army, led by Wang Chao, Ma Han, and others, charged directly into the county city amidst everyone's astonished gazes, each one exceptionally excited.

Some of the Tiger Brave Army, influenced by the Demon Suppression Guard's style of action, initially held onto the prestige of the Imperial Capital's Seven Great Armies, unwilling to lose Face.

Later, after doing it more, they gradually got used to this kind of life.

As the saying goes, a bad soldier is just one person's fault, but a bad general makes the whole army bad.

Anyway, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up, so just do it.

Subsequently.

"Oh no, someone is chasing the Demon Suppression Guard, they went in that direction... Quick, chase!"

The Demon Suppression Guards who rushed into the county city split into groups, charging into different residences.

"What are you doing? This isn't the East Earl Residence, you've made a mistake!"

"I'm going to report you! I'm going to the State Secretary Office to report you! I'm going to file a complaint with the Emperor... Hey, don't take that, that's my old man's retirement fund!"

"Our Liu family are law-abiding citizens! That's the high-grade Spirit Beast meat I just stewed to awaken my grandson's talent, you can't take it away, come back...!"

For a time.

Throughout the county city, along the main roads, the cries of the wealthy families echoed, their grain, gold, silver, and jewels completely looted.

Anyone who dared to resist was severely beaten.

And a promissory note was left, stating it was a donation to disaster victims, take it or leave it, signed by the Chu Emperor, with a kind explanation from a Demon Suppression Guard that they could take the note to the Chu Emperor to collect the debt later.

Of course, provided they had the guts.

In everyone's minds, ten thousand 'grass mud horses' galloped past.

This is not playing by the rules at all!

They could still find trouble, give you a trumped-up charge, and just start doing whatever they wanted.

The key was, they said they were searching for missing Demon Suppression Guards, but each of them grabbed their weapons and charged directly into other residences.

And if they went, they even ate and took things.

Is this how you search?

Animals!

This was something their aristocratic families often did, but today it was their turn to suffer, and the taste was a mixture of five bitter flavors.

These Demon Suppression Guards were simply bandits; wherever they passed, there was widespread wailing, even the eggs laid by wild chickens had to be shaken rotten by them.

Among them, a small white beast and a purple lightning snake sat on the shoulders of the Demon Suppression Guards, telling the team where there were granaries, where there were treasures, and even treasures hidden in Storage Pouches could not escape their Dharma Eye.

They roamed everywhere in the county city, having a blast.

All they saw were the pig-liver-colored Faces of the powerful figures from the various aristocratic families.

They only dared to retort a few words, not daring to retaliate at all.

"Lord Chu, isn't this going too far? Shouldn't you restrain your subordinates? Search is search, you can't take people's things!"

Tao Yun, Son of the East Earl's Face was gloomy; this Chu Jiang was too excessive. He had given him full Face, treating him to meals and offering tributes.

Yet, he didn't give him any Face at all, saying he would search, and he searched.

He just made up a random reason and started plundering.

In the past ten years, he had seen three of the six special envoys sent by the imperial court, and not one of them was like him; he was simply lawless.

Furthermore.

If this continued, they would sooner or later search the East Earl Residence, which would not be good.

He stepped forward, gave a look, signaling if they could speak aside, to offer Chu Jiang a benefit, so that his subordinates would not search the East Earl Residence.

Tao Yun, Son of the East Earl sighed, it seemed this time he would have to shed a lot of blood to satisfy this killing god.

However, Chu Jiang seemed not to notice Tao Yun, Son of the East Earl's hint.

This infuriated Tao Yun, Son of the East Earl, and he waved his hand, signaling for the butler to leave and report, telling the residence to dispose of all 'unclean' items.

"Audacious! Inspector is here, representing His Majesty's personal presence. Leaving without permission, disregarding the Emperor, is punishable by death!"

Clang!

Fu Yunxuan coldly shouted, and the Demon Suppression Blade flew out directly, carrying the calamitous poisonous Qi, piercing through with one strike, and the butler instantly turned into bone water.

"This..."

The bloody scene terrified everyone present.

Many great families were chilled to the bone; this was the butler of the East Earl Residence, after all. Although his cultivation was not high, he represented the Face of the Marquis's residence.

Yet, he was killed just like that, without any warning.

"Lord Chu, he didn't intend to leave, he just... wanted to go to the toilet!"

Tao Yun, Son of the East Earl said through gritted teeth, his Face still splattered with the butler's blood.

Chu Jiang's action was undoubtedly a complete slap in the Face to the East Earl Residence, not putting it in his eyes at all, and rubbing the Marquis's residence into the ground.

"My subordinate was just about to kill a moving ant. It was someone from your East Earl Residence who shook erratically and happened to run into the blade!"

Chu Jiang said coldly.

As he spoke.

Whoosh!

A black ant, cut into two halves, appeared on Chu Jiang's fingertip.

Hiss...

Gasps of cold air arose.

Good heavens!

What did they see? In broad daylight, calling a deer a horse... no, calling a person an ant, simply absurd.

This meant that the 'leaving' Fu Yunxuan had spoken of was not the Marquis's butler, but this black ant. She had killed the black ant, but the butler happened to turn around and run into it.

Dying on the spot.

No matter how they looked at it, it seemed ridiculous.

The people on the city wall were dumbfounded.

"They all said Chu Jiang was overbearing; seeing him today, I've truly witnessed it. This isn't just overbearing, this is utterly arrogant!"

"If you're robbed by bandits, you can report it to the this official, but if you're robbed by the Demon Suppression Guard, where do you report it?"

"The East Earl Residence's overbearingness is not even on the same level as Chu Jiang's; who can afford to provoke him?"

Even if they reported it to the Imperial Capital.

He is the Deputy Commander of the Demon Suppression Division.

And he is highly regarded by the Chu Emperor.

Who in the hall is accusing this official?

Just thinking about that scene was thrilling.

Tao Yun, Son of the East Earl was stunned, awed by Chu Jiang's lawless behavior.

Facing Chu Jiang.

For the first time, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

All his proud schemes and calculations were useless, ignored, and trampled underfoot.

"Lord Chu, I have an important matter to report!"

Commander Niu Qian suddenly stepped forward and said, looking at Chu Jiang with a solemn voice.

Seeing Chu Jiang's actions, he decided it was time. He would hand over the evidence of crimes he possessed to Chu Jiang and ask him to convict the East Earl Residence.

"Hmm!"

Chu Jiang nodded casually.

"To the East Earl Residence!"

"Yes!"

Fu Yunxuan nodded.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A dozen figures instantly disappeared from their original spot, and Commander Niu Qian also followed suit.

After Chu Jiang left.

For a time.

The dozen or so aristocratic families outside the city did not dare to leave.

Fearing that Chu Jiang would chop them down with one strike.

This guy killed people without any reason.

Tao Yun, Son of the East Earl was seething with anger. Since his birth, he had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, never before had he felt so wronged, so powerless, as he did today.

To be intimidated to such an extent.

The people had left, yet he still dared not move.

It was simply a humiliation.

... ...

In the county city, the largest residence, the East Earl Residence.

Buzz!

An old man, his aura like an abyss, his body like a ghost, stepped out from the Marquis's residence...
