Chapter 62: Crushing with Absolute Strength

“Cough, cough, cough!” Guo Bin was punched in the chest by Su Wen, resulting in all the wind being knocked out of him.

The crowd immediately exclaimed, “Elder Guo!”

At this moment, Su Wen realized that his Emotional Values were soaring!

When these scholars saw how domineering he was behaving, they were about to explode in anger.

However, Su Wen did not care. The angrier they were, the happier he would be!

In just a short while, his points had increased by almost 2,000!

He could not help but punch this Old Guo again!

“Ouch! Help! Murder!”

Old Guo had never suffered such an attack before. He couldn’t care less about his face and shouted loudly.

“Hahaha! Even if you scream your throat out, no one will come and save you!” Hearing Old Guo’s loud shout, Su Wen gave him another punch without any worries!

Zhao Jin followed suit.

The scene of two burly men ganging up on an old man screaming wretchedly looked extremely cruel.

If you were to reason with these scholars, they would be able to argue with you for three days and three nights. However, Su Wen was such a troublemaker that they really did not dare to provoke him!

However, these people were quite quick-witted. They didn’t dare to forcefully stop him. Quite a few people instead began to persuade him, saying good things.

But they were not trying to persuade Su Wen. Instead, they all ran to Su Yu.

“Quick, persuade your brother. It’s not a big deal. Why must you do this?”

“That’s right. If he really kills someone, His Majesty will punish him too.”

“Hurry up and pull him away.”

Su Yu went forward and whispered to Su Wen, “It’s enough, right?”

Su Wen waved his hand and Zhao Jin stopped.

Su Wen looked at Old Guo with a smile that was yet not a smile, “Alright, we’re done with the beatings today. Let me ask you again. What did you say just now? My father should have given the trade route to His Majesty? To fill up the empty royal treasury? You old bastard, why don’t you tell everyone how much property do you have? Listening to your vigorous howls, I’m afraid you must have spent quite a bit of money on keeping yourself healthy. Why don’t you hand over those assets to the treasury?

As for the things my father transported back to sell for a high price? If they took so much effort to transport back those items from thousands of miles away, if it wasn’t to sell, then was it to hand them out to others? Besides, who among the commoners forced them to buy those things? Those things aren’t necessities. If you don’t buy them, wouldn’t you still be able to live? Don’t accuse others for no reason. Be careful that your nephew’s uncle’s son (aka his own son) will make you a cuckold.”

Fei Chi stood at the side howled, “Su Wen, don’t be so arrogant. I will definitely go to His Majesty to report your misbehavior!”

Su Wen rolled his eyes and could not be bothered with him.

However, he did not ask Zhao Jin to beat him up as punishment.

Su Wen was very clear about the importance of having a good reason. He could be domineering, but he could not be brainless.

Otherwise, not even the emperor could tolerate him.

He had beaten up Zhuang Qingbei and Guo Bin because they had spoken rudely about Su Changqing. As his son, it was understandable for him to make a move.

But if he’d gone to beat Fei Chi, that would be a different story.

Su Wen walked in front of Su Yu and pulled him outside.

The people attending the Roc’s Journey Banquet watched the two brothers leave. Only then did someone say in a low voice, “This Su Wen is so arrogant!”

“That’s right! Look at how he beat up Elder Guo. He can’t even speak now.”

“This is too much.”

Fei Chi stood up and said, “I’m going to impeach him in the assembly tomorrow. I want to see if His Majesty cares!”

“I support you, Elder Fei!”

“Exactly. We can’t just let it go.”

“We must punish this person severely.”

While they were discussing among themselves, Su Wen and Su Yu had already walked out of the Immortals’ Abode Pavilion and stood at the entrance. Su Wen said, “Originally, Father was a little worried about you today and asked me to come and see you. He told you not to force yourself and take care of yourself. However, I didn’t expect to meet these two fellows and disrupt the atmosphere. Second Brother, please take care of yourself.”

Su Yu said, “I will!”

At this moment, Su Wen tilted his head and looked at Su Yu with a smile. “I thought you wouldn’t stand up for him. I didn’t expect you to stand up for him.”

Su Yu shook his head and said, “We’re a family after all. One glory leads to another, and one loss leads to another. I understand this principle, but I don’t want to borrow Father’s power. I just want to rely on myself.”

“Yeah, we’re family, after all.”

Even though Su Wen had transmigrated here, he had been in the Su Residence since he was young. After so many years, he had long regarded the members of the Su Family as his family.

Even if Su Yu and Su Changqing had disagreements and quarreled occasionally, it could not change the bond between the two.

“You beat up Guo Bin, Zhuang Qingbei, and caused a huge ruckus at the Pengcheng Banquet. I’m afraid these people will impeach you. You’d better hurry home and report this matter to Father,” Su Yu said.

Su Wen smiled and did not seem to care. “Don’t worry, it will be fine. These two fellows are destined to suffer today’s beating for nothing.”

Su Yu stared at Su Wen for a long while before a smile appeared on his face. “You’re right! They are really suffering this beating for nothing!”

After sending Su Yu off, Su Wen thought for a moment and said to Zhao Jin with a smile, “Let’s go and pay a visit to the Martial Inspectorate. I haven’t been there for many days, and these guys are probably very anxious.”

That’s right, they were truly and urgently awaiting his arrival.

In the Martial Inspectorate, the group of subordinates who had signed a contract with Su Wen were gathered together. One of them hung his head low as he spoke in a dejected tone, “Isn’t this nonsense? We agreed on a 10 days contract, but it looks like it’s going to pass soon. That Su Wen didn’t even appear, and we can’t possibly sneak into his house!”

“Hmph! In my opinion, we should go to his house and ambush him. Otherwise, what can we do? Do we really have to give him a thousand taels of silver each?”

“A thousand taels of silver is fine, but the main problem is that this is just too stifling! He didn’t even make a move once and he has to pay?”

“That’s right. Didn’t we already discuss what to do with the hundred thousand taels we would be getting? Anyway, he didn’t say that we can’t attack together. As long as we attack together and subdue him, it will be a hundred thousand taels of silver!”

“But this guy doesn’t come to the Martial Inspectorate at all. How can no one care?”

“Why are you asking about this? I went to ask Lord Ruan the other day. He said that Su Wen has an official position outside, so unless it’s a necessary mission, he can choose not to participate in any of the Martial Inspectorate’s matters.”

“Ugh… then what are we supposed to do?”

“I don’t care. If he doesn’t come in ten days, I won’t give him the money!”

Just as the last person finished speaking, Su Wen’s voice was heard outside. “Oh? Are you guys still planning to renege on your debt to this Young Master? Are you all crazy?”

Everyone turned around and saw Su Wen walking into the courtyard, followed closely by Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin smiled and said, “I knew that Young Master’s charisma was unmatched. You’ve only been at the Martial Inspectorate for a day, but your subordinates are already prostrating themselves in admiration towards you out of admiration. They’ve probably missed you to the extreme!”

Su Wen rolled his eyes and interrupted him. “Stop, don’t use such flowery words if you don’t know how to use it. What nonsense is this?”

All of the subordinates looked at Su Wen with scorching eyes.

It was as if they could see a walking bag of hundred thousand taels of silver!

“Brothers, let’s attack together!”

“It’s time to earn money!”

“Lord Su, don’t blame us!”

Everyone rushed forward. They did not dare to let Su Wen go anymore. Otherwise, they might really need to pay up after the 10 days had passed.

Right at this moment, Su Wen’s body moved quickly.

He quickly distanced himself and laughed. “Brother Jin, I’ll leave it to you!”

Zhao Jin was still calm and fearless. He faced the charging Martial Inspectorate people and took action!

It was only then that the members in the Martial Inspectorate realized that the person beside Su Wen was actually an expert!

Furthermore, this person was not even in the earlier stages of the Earth Rank. At the very least, he had achieved a cultivation of the middle or higher stages of Earth Rank.

Zhao Jin was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, cutting down everyone like vegetables.

Su Wen stood at the back and laughed maniacally. “How can you hide your thoughts from me? Can you see that? In front of absolute power, all schemes are useless!”
