No matter what, Dai Lin was still an official of the court. Most of the people he interacted with were people of the same social class. Even the madam's social interactions were mostly gentle and pleasant young ladies from respectable families. Who would have thought that a Wang Fei, a young lady from a respectable family, would chop people with an axe like a ruffian?
Dai Lin screamed in fright and retreated in a panic.
The axe fell right in front of his eyes and landed heavily on the ground, making a "dang" sound.
"You, you want to kill someone!"
"Slandering my father, I'd rather pay with my life for it today!" Qin Yining chopped down with the axe again.
"Quick, catch her! Catch her!! "Dai Lin ran.
Qin Yining chased after him and hacked at him.
The surrounding people were already scared stiff. They were all dumbfounded. After a while, the guards that Dai Lin brought reacted and reached out to stop them.
How could the Family Qin people let Qin Yining suffer? Second Old Master and Third Old Master rushed forward with their men. However, they all understood that this was the time to show weakness. Because from the moment Qin Yining started, he wanted to make a big fuss and let everyone see the grievances that the Family Qin people had suffered.
If Li Qitian didn't care about people saying behind his back that he treated his officials harshly, he could continue to do nothing.
"Stop! Stop! "
"At the foot of the Emperor, are you planning to search the residence with people? Let go of my niece! "
… …
With Second Master and Third Master's signal, the people in front of the door didn't understand, but they didn't hit too hard.
Ji Yun's hand was on the soft sword at her waist. If it wasn't for Qin Yining telling her not to attack in a low voice, she would have already jumped forward. At this time, she could only "cry" in panic with Bing Tang, Xian Yun, and the others, loudly yelling about the grievances and injustice that the Family Qin people had suffered.
On the Family Qin's side, they shouted but didn't kill them. Dai Lin's subordinates immediately used all of their skills and actually wanted to barge into the residence.
As a result, Qin Yining was so angry that his eyes turned red. He turned around to look at Ji Yun and his brothers from the Qingtian Alliance. Just as he was about to instruct them, he suddenly heard a loud shout coming from the intersection.
"Stop!"
There was a chaotic battle going on here, so who was willing to listen?
Qin Yining turned around and saw Ji Zeyu leaping off his horse. He held a horsewhip in his hand and quickly walked over with a group of attendants. Whenever he encountered one of Dai Lin's subordinates, he would ruthlessly whip him.
"Stop, I told you to stop …"
Along the way, he whipped three or four people. Every time he whipped, a painful cry could be heard. The tip of the whip left red marks on their shoulders and faces.
Soon, these people were intimidated by Ji Zeyu and the others. They didn't dare to continue attacking. They raised their clubs and retreated behind Dai Lin. They stared at Ji Zeyu as if they were facing a great enemy.
When Dai Lin saw that the person was Ji Zeyu, he also stopped moving. The muscles on his face twitched and his heart beat like a drum.
"Isn't this Marquis Dingbei? What wind blew you here?"
Ji Zeyu stood in front of Qin Yining. He turned around and glanced at the Family Qin's group of "old, weak, and disabled soldiers". Then, he saw that Dai Lin had brought along all of the strong men. He slowly patted his hand with the horsewhip and asked casually, "What are you doing? Hm? "
The last "hm" was dragged out and raised in pitch. It made people who heard it tremble all over.
Dai Lin was a weak scholar. Naturally, he hadn't seen the biting cold deterrence that could only be seen on the battlefield. He was so frightened by Ji Zeyu's soft words that his back was covered in sweat.
He groaned inwardly and cupped his hands, "Marquis Dingbei, this official is here on behalf of the imperial court. Qin Meng defected to the enemy and committed treason. He deserved to die! This group of Family Qin people actually dared to set up a mourning hall. This is the biggest joke in the world. People with that kind of character don't deserve to set up a mourning hall! "
Qin Yining looked at Dai Lin with a sullen expression. The anger in his heart rose again. Second Old Master, Third Old Master, Qin Han, and the others behind her were so angry that their faces were flushed red. They gripped their different "weapons" tightly in their hands, ready to charge forward and fight at any time.
Ji Zeyu expressionlessly sized up Dai Lin from top to bottom and then from bottom to top.
"I didn't expect Lord Dai to have such knowledge other than sleeping flowers and sleeping willows."
"You!" Dai Lin came from the Clear Stream. Now that he was being humiliated by Ji Zeyu, he was so angry that his face turned the color of pig liver.
Ji Zeyu's expression darkened. He only said one word, "Scram!"
This time, Dai Lin was really angry. "Shut up! As Your Majesty's beloved official, why are you speaking up for the family of a traitor?! Qin Meng gave all the food and money to the Tatan. The Dragon Stallion Army under Marquis Dingguo's command is in the south. Because Qin Meng can't even get the food and money, not only are you not angry about the appearance of this vermin in the imperial court, you are even reaching out to stop him. What kind of logic is this?! "
"Logic? Your Majesty hasn't dealt with him yet. What right do you have to stand in front of other people and act like a tyrant? Are you bullying other people because they don't have enough people?! "
"I didn't expect Marquis Dingguo to do this! This official will definitely report you to the emperor! This is the capital. It's not for people like you to point fingers! "
"Oh? I'm like this? "Ji Zeyu's horsewhip hung by his side." What am I like? "
Dai Lin gritted his teeth. "Disregarding loyalty and treachery, unable to distinguish right from wrong. Even someone like Marquis Dingguo can't lead an army!"
Ji Zeyu was already impatient. The veins on his forehead were bulging. He swung his whip, and it landed squarely on Dai Lin's face.
"Ah!" Dai Lin covered his face and fell to the ground. When he saw that his hand was covered in blood, he screamed even more miserably.
"Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet. Who do you think you are?!"
Ji Zeyu turned around and walked towards Qin Manor.
Dai Lin was in so much pain that he couldn't feel his face. He only knew that his face was completely ruined this time.
Da Zhou had always had a rule. Those who had a disfigured face and body could not enter the imperial court as an official. Ji Zeyu's whip was equivalent to directly destroying Dai Lin's official career!
"You! Just you wait, I'm going to report you! I'm going to lodge an imperial complaint before His Majesty! "
"Up to you."
Dai Lin gritted his teeth and glared at Ji Zeyu. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get any benefits from this, so he didn't want to stay any longer. He said, "Just you wait." Then, he led the crowd and left in a grandiose manner.
The onlookers had seen enough of the commotion. Now that the murderous Ji Zeyu was here, no one dared to stay any longer and dispersed.
Silence was restored in front of Qin Manor.
Qin Yining handed the ax to Ji Yun and bowed to Ji Zeyu. "Thank you for helping us out, Marquis Dingguo."
Ji Zeyu turned sideways to avoid Qin Yining's bow. He said, "I'll light an incense stick for Lord Qin."
Qin Yining looked up in surprise and saw Ji Zeyu's side profile looking at the white lanterns hanging above the Qin Manor's door.
"Marquis Dingguo, forgive me for being blunt. Many people don't dare to come to Family Qin after hearing the news. Everyone knows what it means to seek benefits and avoid harm. Why should Marquis Dingguo cause trouble for yourself?"
Ji Zeyu said, "It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of trouble. "
Ji Zeyu walked past Qin Yining and headed straight for Qin Manor.
Qin Yining, Second Old Master, Third Old Master, and the others looked at each other before they followed Ji Zeyu into the Qin Manor.
