Chapter 38: Go Straight to Using Force

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Accompanied by the sound of a large number of footsteps, the entire Zhang Mansion was surrounded by the soldiers of the Martial Suppression Squad.

The two Zhang Mansion guards were a little frightened. If these soldiers rushed up, they would probably be trampled to death without even having to do anything.

With such a large formation, a large number of people had already gathered around. They knew about the Martial Suppression Division’s actions over the past two days.

They knew what had happened. However, they also knew that the Martial Suppression Division had been defeated.

It had only been a day. Why were they being impulsive again? The commoners of Huangshan City were somewhat worried for the soldiers of the Martial Suppression Division.

However, they noticed that something was different today.

The soldiers’ aura was different, and so was the leader. Zhang Baishan, the commander of the Martial Suppression Division, was not at the front. Instead, he was following behind someone.

This was…Did someone come from above?

A thought appeared in the hearts of the commoners, and their hearts began to beat faster. If it was really someone from above, this might really solve some problems.

A large number of people were looking forward to it.

“Charge in.” Su Yang ordered calmly.

Just as Zhang Baishan was about to lead his team to attack, the door of the Zhang mansion opened. A large group of servants walked out from inside. The Zhang family’s head and a group of high-ranking members of the Zhang family walked out.

However, the Zhang family head was not at the front.

The two groups of people faced off, and the scene was extremely quiet.

“Sir, please come in.” The person at the front spoke. Seeing that Su Yang was silent, he continued, “I am Zhang Qian, the chief of the Weapon Department of the prefecture capital.”

“The Zhang family is at fault in this matter. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation later.” Zhang Qian’s voice was not loud, but everyone’s eyes were focused on him and they heard him. Everyone was also waiting for Su Yang’s reaction.

If Su Yang went in, he would probably go in to receive benefits, and then this matter would be left unsettled.

Everyone was looking forward to it and nervous. They did not know what Su Yang would choose. However, they were unwilling to let the hope they had just ignited be destroyed. Therefore, they hoped that Su Yang would refuse.

In silence, Su Yang slowly spoke.

“I’m not here to discuss anything with your Zhang Clan. As for the other matters, let me seek justice for my subordinates first.”

After Su Yang finished speaking, the sword intent on his body spread out and instantly enveloped the entire Zhang family. The terrifying sword intent pressed down on every member of the Zhang family.

The faces of the Zhang family members turned pale. They felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing down on them, and they were unable to move at all.

“Soldiers of the Martial Suppression Division, listen up!”

“Yes!”

“Capture all those who have fought and cripple their arms.”

“Yes!”

The soldiers obeyed and immediately went forward.

“Sir, please wait.” Zhang Qian was a little displeased. Wasn’t this young man a little too arrogant?

However, he also knew that only fourth-grade martial artists could take up the post. Su Yang was so young, but he was in fourth grade. He probably had an extraordinary background.

Therefore, he endured it and said, “Lord, isn’t this inappropriate?”

“Bang!”

Zhang Qian had just finished speaking when he was sent flying by the sword intent. He fell to the side and fainted with a red mark on his face.

Su Yang couldn’t be bothered to talk to this person. Did he think he could intimidate Su Yang with his status?

What a joke.

The hearts of the Zhang family members trembled. What kind of ferocious person had come?

They looked at their leader, Zhang Tianzhi, not knowing what to do.

Zhang Tianzhi didn’t dare to say anything and gestured for everyone to stay still.

Even Zhang Qian, with his cultivation in the fifth grade, was sent flying without any physical contact. Could he be any different?

“Take action.” Su Yang seemed to have done something trivial and then calmly watched the audience.

When the soldiers saw this, they instantly became excited.

Who was the person Su Yang sent flying just now?

The backing of the Zhang family in the county!

Then what was there to be afraid of? They would go up and attack. They found the Zhang family guards who had fought against them and broke their arms according to Su Yang’s instructions.

This did not conform to the rules of the Martial Suppression Division.

But… to hell with the rules! When they want to talk about rules, where are the rules?

Miserable screams sounded one after another at the entrance of the Zhang family.

Su Yang stood quietly in place, his sword intent suppressing hundreds of people.

The head of Zhang family could only watch helplessly as the guard he had trained with all his heart was broken in both arms.

After a moment, the soldiers returned to Su Yang’s side in high spirits. They had vented the anger that had accumulated in their heart for a long time. That feeling was not worth mentioning to outsiders.

After all the soldiers returned, Su Yang slowly raised his head and looked at the Zhang family head. His sword intent turned corporeal and pressed down on the Zhang family head.

“Bang!” Zhang Tianzhi’s legs became soft and he knelt on the ground.

At this moment, Zhang Tianzhi’s anger instantly surged, but the difference in strength between heaven and earth extinguished his anger. He could only grit his teeth and endure it.

“Do you know what crime it is to attack an official of the Imperial Court?” Su Yang spoke slowly and answered for him, “Death penalty!”

“This time, I’ll spare your life. If there’s a next time, there’s no need for the Zhang Clan to exist.”

“In the evening, make a trip to the Martial Suppression Division. Do you understand?”

Zhang Tianzhi knelt on the ground, his eyes red. He did not dare to resist and said through gritted teeth, “I understand.”

“Let’s go to the Niu family.”

When Su Yang heard this, he took the lead and left, heading towards the Niu family.

He originally wanted Zhang Baishan to do it. After all, he was the one who was attacked. However, after thinking about it, if he wanted to keep Zhang Tianzhi alive, it was better for him to do it.

Of course, he could destroy the Zhang Clan. However, it would be more troublesome after the incident. Moreover, if anything happened, the entire family would be raided and exterminated. If it was too tyrannical, it would cause a place to lose stability.

For example, when Su Yang destroyed the Li family in Ping Shan City, Pingshan City was shaken for a period of time.

If not for the fact that the Martial Suppression Division had been suppressed and was running around everywhere, the negative effects of the subsequent extermination of the family would have been very great.

To put it simply, it still depended on the Zhang family’s performance.

Su Yang gave them a chance, but if the Zhang family recognized the reality, Su Yang raised his hand to destroy the Zhang family.

After Su Yang left with the members of the Martial Suppression Division, the people were shocked when they saw this.

“Who is this person?”

“What powerful strength. He totally ignored the Zhang family’s evil words.”

“Do you think this lord will solve the problem of wages?”

” I heard that yesterday, the Martial Suppression Division had a fight with the Zhang, Niu, and Lu families because of the issue of wages. There might really be hope this time…”

“…”

The commoners who saw this scene felt some hope.

…

In the next half a day, all of Niu family and Lu family had their arms crippled by Su Yang and his men. In the face of Su Yang’s absolute strength, all problems turned into nothing. All sounds of resistance disappeared.

Su Yang only had one thought. When he tried to reason with them peacefully, they wouldn’t listen and resort to violence. So he decided to greet them with the techniques he had learned from the Li family.

What’s the point of showing respect before resorting to force? Why should he endure their provocations? He would skip the formalities and go straight to using force. Now Su Yang was curious to see if these family heads had any objections left.

The things that Su Yang had done with the Martial Suppression Division quickly spread throughout Huangshan City within a day. Currently, the commoners of Huangshan City were talking about this the most: Who was this lord?
