Royal Gold Magistrate

Huang Shengrong laughed coldly. “I don’t care who he is. Things have come this far, do you really think you can leave alive?”

He stomped his foot on Li Yuanzhao and pulled out a sharp dagger from behind his waist, pressing it against his heart.

At this point, Fang Zheng also panicked. Zhang Biao hadn’t given him a signal yet, indicating the distance wasn’t enough. He had to keep stalling and inch forward.

Who would have thought that damned Huang Shengrong would directly pull out a knife? Fang Zheng hurriedly shouted, “This person has ties to the Feces Clan!”

Huang Shengrong suspiciously looked at Fang Zheng and said with interest, “Oh? Do tell.”

Now that he had the upper hand, he didn’t mind listening.

Fang Zheng lowered his head in brief thought before speaking, “Back when you and I were fighting, many clan members died. He’s the orphan of Feces Clan member Li Five-Seven. He doesn’t even have a proper name, so we just call him Young Master Li.”

“Your Feces Clan has no sense of honor. Our Beggar Clan couldn’t stand by and watch!”

“This old man raised him for six or seven years. I can’t bear to see him die, but when it comes down to it, he’s still half a Feces Clan member. I even found someone to teach him how to clean latrines tonight. I’ve said my piece. Kill him if you want.”

Li Yansong and the others were both anxious and furious. Fang Zheng, is your belly full of gall? How dare you spout such nonsense!

But under the circumstances, they didn’t dare speak up.

The name Li Five-Seven was something Fang Zheng made up on the spot. Names like Five-Seven, Heavy Eight, and Six-Nine were a dime a dozen. With so many Feces Clan members, he was sure Huang Shengrong wouldn’t be able to recall.

And he could pull some goodwill along the way.

With so many surrounding clan members, he didn’t believe Huang Shengrong would dare make a move in front of everyone.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Huang Shengrong’s expression turned perplexed.

A clan member beside him leaned over and whispered, “Boss… when we captured this kid, he really was learning to clean latrines.”

“………….”

What the fuck is there to learn about cleaning shit?

Li Five-Seven?… Back then there were a whole bunch of names like Zhang Four-Six and Li Seven-Eight in the clan. Indeed, he couldn’t remember… But Fang Zheng did have a habit of picking up kids everywhere. That much he knew.

Huang Shengrong looked up and saw the way the clan members were looking at Fang Zheng. He couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart.

Damned dog, playing tricks here! Forget it. At most, he’ll take the kid away first and find a chance to deal with him later!

He slowly spoke, “Fine, I’ll spare his life for now.”

“Someone come! First, wash Fang Zheng’s third uncle’s face!”

Zhang Dongxiang said in grief and indignation, “What are you doing? What do you want to do? I’m not his third uncle!!!”

Two clan members immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Dongxiang, and brought him to the feces bucket. They forcefully kicked the back of his knees!

Zhang Dongxiang actually stumbled but didn’t kneel, only showing a pained expression as he loudly declared, “A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! Just kill me!”

“Oho! Don’t want to wash your face? Then give him a bath!”

The three cabinet elders’ eyes simultaneously lost their light…

The Crown Prince couldn’t be saved. Not only would the three of them lose face, but they would also lose their old lives. Disgraced in their twilight years, disgraced in their twilight years ah!!!

Fang Zheng started feeling anxious.

Fuck, Huang Shengrong kept staring at his side. Brother Biao couldn’t move and enter firing range!

There was no more delaying it. Seeing that Zhang Dongxiang was about to be bathed in feces, Fang Zheng had no choice but to unleash his trump card early.

He let out a loud shout, “The Imperial Edict has arrived!!!!”

With that said, he pulled out the Imperial Edict he had prepared in advance from his waist.

Everyone’s eyes were drawn over. Li Yansong and the others instinctively kneeled upon hearing it.

Just as everyone was stunned, Zhang Biao made his move.

His feet fiercely kicked off the ground. Like a cheetah, he shot forward. One hand pulled out a long whip from his waist and lashed it towards Huang Shengrong’s neck.

His other hand took out a throwing knife. With a flick of his wrist, it nailed into Huang Shengrong’s left shoulder!

Unfortunately, the distance wasn’t enough… The tip of the whip barely grazed past Huang Shengrong’s neck.

Huang Shengrong let out a pained scream. The surrounding clan members had reacted and picked up weapons, ready to charge forward.

In a fluid motion, Zhang Biao tossed the whip high into the air. Then, with a powerful flourish of his arms, he scattered the two packets of silver from his hands. Countless gleaming fragments burst forth, raining down upon the men on either side like a *Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers*.

As the whip descended, Zhang Biao deftly caught it. Surging forward with another mighty step, he sent the whip hurtling towards Huang Shengrong.

Huang Shengrong endured the intense pain and lunged towards Li Yuanzhao, wanting to take him hostage.

Who knew that while pouncing in midair, the whip steadily coiled around his neck? The next second, Huang Shengrong felt a sharp pain in his neck. After a dizzying spin, he was sprawled at Zhang Biao’s feet.

“Nobody move! Or I’ll kill him!!” Fang Zheng immediately roared upon seeing this. The surrounding gang members were frightened seeing their leader threatened and didn’t dare approach, waving their weapons around aimlessly.

Awesome! As expected of Brother Biao, easily accomplishing what ordinary people couldn’t.

Li Yuanzhao, who witnessed the entire process, squirmed on the ground like a silkworm cocoon, eyes filled with excitement.

“Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, quickly come over!”

Upon hearing this, Li Yansong and the others hurried to Fang Zheng’s side. Seeing the Crown Prince still tied up, they quickly went to untie him.

After getting up, Li Yuanzhao was eager to fight. “Old Fang! Let’s brawl with them!”

“Fight what! Didn’t you see the elders present? They’re all old bones. If we’re not careful, we’ll be burning incense for them tomorrow!”

The faces of Li Yansong and the others fell. Can’t you say anything nice, kid?

“Brother Biao, why didn’t you use a throwing knife to kill him? Using the whip is so troublesome.”

Zhang Biao was currently bending over, using the whip to tie up Huang Shengrong. He replied in a low voice, “The space here is too small. I couldn’t watch out for those few old men. The young master said to capture him alive.”

So that’s how it is! The kid has a conscience! Li Yansong and the others suddenly felt a bit gratified.

Seeing Zhang Dongxiang rubbing his leg, Fang Zheng eagerly went up to him, grinning. “Third Uncle, are you alright?”

“Who’s your third uncle? Stop trying to claim relations!”

“Eldest Uncle, look at him. I just saved your lives and this is his attitude. Go back and impeach him to Second Uncle for me!”

Li Yansong: “……….”

Zheng Qiao: “…….”

The three cabinet elders were all helpless. To be so shameless… truly rare in this world….

Huang Shengrong was tied up kneeling on the ground, wailing incessantly. The surrounding gang members hesitated, holding their weapons. The clever ones had already started sneakily picking up silver.

Fang Zheng’s expression also gradually turned cold as he looked at him.

Shameless thing, actually daring to attack me behind my back.

Seven years ago you were no match for me. Now that I’m an official in court, you still have the guts to oppose me?

And you dare to slander me as a pedophile? Preposterous!

Then he squatted down and roughly grabbed Huang Shengrong’s hair, grinning viciously. “Pathetic thing. A few years back you were playing kidnapping and you’re still playing it now. Not learning your lesson!”

“You think you have what it takes to fight against me, Fang Zheng!?”
