After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 371

Yin Zhu quickly told about what had happened in the evening.

After listening, Zhao Changdu and Ye Qingchi's faces turned black at the same time, "Go to Ye House immediately!"

The two rode horses directly back to Ye's house. Just as they arrived at the door of Ye House, they saw Fu Xunzhi leading an old horse, wandering anxiously at the gate with a disturbed look.

Seeing the two men getting off their horses like gods, Fu Xunzhi hesitated for a moment, especially Zhao Changdu, whose whole body was filled with icy cold killing intent, which really made people want to stay away. But for the sake of Gu Shuang, he still plucked up the courage to greet them.

"Zhao...Ye..."

Ye Qingchi remembered that Gu Shuang had been kidnapped, and his face was solemn. "Why is Young Master Fu here at this moment?"

Fu Xunzhi had left the palace early. He stuttered and said, "I heard some rumors on the street that Lady Zhao and Shuang'er were taken away by the flower pickers. I was worried...and wanted to go to the Duke's mansion to take a look. I happened to meet Miss Yin Lan on the way, and then...Miss Yin Lan and I came here together..."

Taken away by the flower pickers?

For the two women, this was even more serious than taking their lives!

Ye Qingchi's face was ugly. "Since when did the rumors start?"

Fu Xunzhi hesitated and said, "Two hours ago..."

At that time, Gu Ying and Gu Shuang had just left the palace. The rumors had already started while they were still in the capital, and it was obvious that someone was deliberately manipulating behind the scenes, trying to ruin the reputation of the two young ladies.

Zhao Changdu had no patience to beat around the bush with Fu Xunzhi. He said solemnly, "Let's go inside and talk."

Only then did Ye Qingchi stop talking and hurried to keep up with the man's pace. He said in passing, "You come along too."

Fu Xunzhi was slightly relieved. He eagerly caught up.

After entering the Ye House, Ye Zhuohua and his wife were frowning and pacing in the hall. "Brother Du, Brother Chi, you two are finally back! Have you heard about what happened to Sister Ying?"

The two of them were kept in the imperial study by His Majesty. His Majesty refused to let anyone go, so the messages they sent into the palace several times did not get through.

Zhao Chang entered the great hall with a cold and solemn expression, "Uncle, aunt, how are things now?"

Qin said anxiously, "Brother Du, after the incident, Yin Lan came back immediately. Your uncle and I have sent people to investigate. There were two groups who went to the alley where Sister Ying had the accident. These two are the bandits who kidnapped Sister Ying and Miss Gu. However, they only came back for money. According to Yin Lan, the one who kidnapped them was Mu Nanfeng from Qingfeng Stockade."

Zhao Changdu turned around, and there were dark clouds gathering on his exquisite cold face. "Is it him?"

The two bandits were tied up and thrown in the middle of the hall, still cursing and asking them to give money.

"How dare you tie us up? Do you know who we are?"

"Untie us!"

"Bring the money quickly! Otherwise our boss will kill those two women tonight!"

Hearing these words, Zhao Changdu was expressionless on the surface, but his eyes were as dark as the abyss. In a short while, boundless anger had gathered in his eyes.

The entire hall was filled with cold air...Killing intent and anger quickly intertwined.

The powerful aura oppressed everyone present.

Ye Qingchi's eyebrows jumped, and he glanced at the man in panic, intending to stop him first. But he heard the man's calm yet cold voice had already sounded, "Come."

I don't know where two men in black appeared from. They walked respectfully into the Ye Family Hall and said, "Yes, sir."

Not to mention Fu Xunzhi and Ye Qingchi, even Ye Zhuohua and his wife Qin were startled.

"Who are they--"

No one had expected Zhao Changdu to still have such elusive masters around him. Looking closely, the unicorn pattern on the cuffs showed that they belonged to the Qilin Army.

Ye Zhuohua's face sank. His eyes suddenly flashed with astonishment. According to his knowledge, most of the Qilin Army had been buried in the snow disaster in Yueyang. The remaining dozens of people had been arranged by His Majesty to go to the two military camps in the northwest and southeast through an imperial edict.

The military power of the Zhao family was being gradually dismantled... How could the Qilin Army still appear in Kaifeng?

If the one in the palace noticed the rebellious heart of the Zhao family, wouldn't the Zhao family be in extreme danger!

Qin wrinkled her eyebrows in worry and said, "Brother Du..."

"It’s alright, uncle and aunt, just leave it to me." Zhao Changdu's sexy thin lips pulled up a faint smile, but his eyes were not smiling at all, which made people feel particularly creepy.

The two bandits didn’t know better. At this moment, they also sensed that the man in front of them was not easy to provoke. They shrank back, "What...What are you going to do?"

Zhao Changdu's pitch-black eyes were like a group of raging flames about to erupt, concealing the impending storm. He had the two bandits pulled up and walked over slowly. His eyes were full of coldness, "Do you know whom you kidnapped?"

"Haha, of course we know! She is the wife of the heir apparent of the Duke of Guarding Country’s mansion, along with her younger sister! Scared now?" That bandit was still somewhat complacent. After all, they could come and go freely in Kaifeng and kidnap nobles as they liked. Only theQingfeng Stockade could do that!

Zhao Changdu's pupils shrank. His heart shook slightly but almost unnoticeably, "Since you know who she is, how dare you kidnap her!"

"What's the matter? She's not your woman anyway. Why do you care? Even if our boss slept with her while she's pregnant, it's none of your business!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Changdu's eyes suddenly became as cold as frost, and the air pressure around him dropped to freezing point!

Ye Qingchi's heart sank. The corners of his mouth twitched as he silently mourned for the two men.

"I'll give you a chance to say where Ying is now?"

The two bandits didn't believe in evil and yelled with their necks stretched out, "Give money and we'll talk."

The man's eyes grew increasingly unfathomable, and a faint smile as cold as ice appeared at the corners of his lips, "Oh?"

The bandit got anxious and exclaimed, "If you want those two women to stay alive, set us free immediately, otherwise--"

Before the bandit finished speaking, and before he could see what the man in front of him did, he felt his jaw abruptly broken by a powerful force. Blood spurted from his throat, quickly staining his clothes red. They opened their mouths in pain, their bodies twitching. Only then did they realize that they had provoked someone they shouldn't have.

Zhao Changdu narrowed his eyes dangerously and clenched his fists to suppress the surging murderous aura in his heart. He said to the two Qilin Army men with impatience in his tone, "Keep them alive."

A while later, the two men were lying on the ground. Their miserable state was beyond description.

Fu Xunzhi watched with mouth wide agape...This Zhao Changdu was too scary!

He had heard of Zhao Changdu's ruthless reputation before. This was the first time he witnessed him torturing someone. He was so frightened that his limbs went limp and he almost couldn't stand firmly. Thinking that he would become the brother-in-law of such a death god in the future...his heart was filled with apprehension.

Ye Qingchi, on the other hand, was fine. He only got goosebumps all over his body. When he looked back at his parents, his father was frowning, as if thinking of something.

His mother's eyes were bright, and she looked somewhat itching for action. "Brother Du, I know that brat Mu Nanfeng. He has several footholds outside Kaifeng besides Qingfeng Stockade, eight more."
