I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 219

219 Who Would Really Take Him Seriously?!

However, Luo Chengshan’s smugness didn’t last long. Su Le raised his hand and gestured without changing his expression. The guards who had not joined the battle previously quickly removed the black iron shields on the carriage outside the carriage and protected Lin Suisui and the other guards.

“…”

Not to mention the surrounding crowd, even Luo Chengshan was dumbfounded.

Previously, every time he had an argument with someone, as long as he showed this pair of archers, the other party would immediately lose the will to resist and obediently kneel down to surrender!

!!
Who would have thought that this troublemaker would bring a black iron shield?!

“You—”

Luo Chengshan wanted to bluff again, but before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of arrows whistling through the air. The soldiers who were originally holding bows were all shot in the neck in the blink of an eye and died…

“Murder!”

“Help!”

The smell of blood instantly spread, instantly making the surrounding crowd scream and run in all directions. The originally bustling street market instantly became a scene of carnage because of this bloody incident…

Amidst the chaos, Lu Ze, who was wearing a jade crown and riding a horse in black, came towards the crowd with a cold expression. The guards behind him rushed forward extremely quickly. In less than two seconds, they restored order on the entire street.

Luo Chengshan’s expression turned livid.

This was because Lu Ze’s face was really too unfamiliar!

Actually, he also knew that nobles from the capital had come to Cloud Mountain City in the past two days! However, to him, this matter was just a rumor!

After all, he knew that Mr. Pei was the nephew of the wife of the general who stabilizes the north. With this relationship, wouldn’t the northern region still be as omnipotent as ever?!

After what happened to the Ma family later, he still didn’t take it to heart!

After all, Ma Xiuzhu’s father had been useless for so many years. He only knew how to raise horses in the suburbs! So what if he earned a lot of money?!

If word got out, who would take him seriously?!

However, he didn’t expect to encounter such a disaster!

“How dare you! You actually dare to use crossbowmen to intimidate the people in Cloud Mountain City! Do you know that misuse of crossbows in the city is considered treason?!”

Lu Ze didn’t speak, but the guards accompanying him had already stepped forward and bluntly revealed Luo Chengshan’s mistake to him.

Luo Chengshan trembled. To be honest, this was the first time he had been so close to death since he took over Huben.

If the arrows that had just shot at the archers were even slightly deflected, he would be the one lying on the ground now!

“Who are you? Who are you?!” Luo Yunshan took a few steps back and huddled with Feng Xuning as he looked at Lu Ze and the others in horror.

“In public, you actually…”

Before he could finish speaking, the guards brought by Lu Ze swarmed forward and covered his mouth and nose. They tied up him, Feng Xuning and the others, who had completely lost their ability to resist, and stuffed him into the two carriages that followed behind.

On the other hand, the soldiers who rushed in later drove out the remaining people inside Qifeng Hall and sealed the place!

This series of actions was smooth. Not to mention the surrounding onlookers, even Lin Suisui, who had long known the inside story, was stunned by this swiftness.

“The quack doctor from Qifeng Hall has caused trouble and we will investigate it. If it’s true, we’ll seal the medical center now! We’ll investigate his crimes the day after tomorrow and sentence him again!”

The guard beside Luo Yunshan raised his head slightly and loudly announced the reason and outcome of this trip to the crowd on the street.

For a moment, the entire street market was in an uproar.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Lin Suisui didn’t stay any longer. As if nothing had happened, she turned around and got into the carriage. Under the protection of Su Le and the guards, she left.

With Lu Ze arrested, the entire Imperial City office became lively again.

In the gloomy, wet, and hot dungeon, Ma Xiuzhu, who had been tied to the torture rack, was barely alive. Every time he felt that he was about to die and be free, someone would be considerate enough to save his life.

He had already told them everything he knew, but these people still didn’t intend to let him off.

After the initial fear, anger, and many other emotions, all that was left was despair. He didn’t want to live anymore. He wanted to die now.

However, he didn’t even have the ability to die now.

His eyelids that had been cut off made it impossible for him to close his eyes. His broken teeth made it impossible for him to bite his tongue to commit suicide…

As for escaping, it was even more impossible!

The tendons in his limbs had long been severed. Even if he could leave this living hell alive, he would be a cripple if he went out!

Just as Ma Xiuzhu was thinking about how much longer he would be tortured here, the tightly shut iron door clanged. Even though he had basically given up on survival, he was still frightened by this familiar sound.

However, it was obvious that he wasn’t the target of the punishment this time. It was another person who was struggling, whimpering, and cursing.

Ma Xiuzhu turned to look at his companion who was on the torture rack next door. With a glance, he realized that he was an acquaintance.

“Do you know him?!”

Lu Ze strolled in from outside and slowly stood in front of Ma Xiuzhu. Naturally, he didn’t miss the surprise that flashed across Ma Xiuzhu’s eyes. His tone was calm as he reached out to fiddle with the branding irons and tongs in the burning copper furnace at the side. As he asked Ma Xiuzhu nonchalantly, as if he was merely discussing the weather with him, “You seem to be very familiar with him?!”

“No, I’m not familiar with him.” Ma Xiuzhu shook his head with difficulty. Although the moment he opened his mouth, it would hurt, he didn’t dare to delay his response. This was because he had already figured out that if he didn’t answer the person in front of him quickly, he would definitely be in trouble!

“I saw him a few times at my father’s banquet!

He’s the captain of the Huben Battalion, Luo Chengshan!

“Yes, that’s it! I know him because last month, he competed with me for the title of courtesan at Fengyue Restaurant. I… I didn’t have as much money as him at that time, so I was indignant and remembered him. I really don’t know anything else!!”
