Chapter 1281: Raid the Lai family!

"Boom!"

Beneath the thunder echoing through the sky, lightning twisted and writhed.

Walking out from the distant long street, Zhang Cheng rode his horse, his eyes filled with a ruthless expression.

Gazing at the mansion before him, which was no less grand than that of a Fourth Rank official, Zhang Cheng tilted his head in suspicion and said, "This is the Lai family's?"

"That's right, Uncle, this is the Lai family!"

Addressing Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei also hurriedly replied.

"Drag that dog, Lai Er, up here!"

Watching the roaring behind him, Zhang Cheng was truly enraged at this moment.

Because in the capital, officials' mansions had strict regulations, but who would have thought the Lai family was truly clever?

The front was a single courtyard, but the front, back, left, and right had all been connected by them; it was absolutely no less than that of an ordinary Fourth Rank official.

One must know, the Lai family were hereditary servants, servants among servants! Now they were actually living in such a luxury mansion; one could imagine how rampant the other party was.

When he was in Jin Ling back then, he was so poor he needed to moonlight as a "gentleman on the beam," but the Lai family? As servants, they actually had servants to wait on them. Was this a servant? He couldn't even tell who the master was anymore!

"Master, spare my life, Master, spare my life..."

Being dragged along the ground, Lai Er was already filled with despair.

"If I spare your life, then who should the people harmed by your Lai family over these years go to for retribution?"

Addressing Lai Er, Zhang Cheng had already decided to pin all the incidents that had occurred in the Ningguo Mansion over these years onto his family.

Although these things were not done by Zhang Cheng, he had inherited the Ningguo Mansion; if not handled well, it was very likely to leave behind hidden dangers!

Besides, Lai Er was stealing his silver.

With such a large mansion and those servants, Zhang Cheng didn't even dare to imagine how much Lai Er had hollowed out of the Ningguo Mansion over these years!

"Raid it! Anyone who dares to block us, beat them half to death and throw them to the Five Cities Military Patrol Office to be sentenced!"

His cold eyes flickering, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become ruthless.

As for why throw them to the Five Cities Military Patrol Office, that was because the current Commander of the Five Cities Military Patrol Office was Qiu Liang, who was on good terms with the Jia family!

Zhang Cheng had also met the other party a few times; the two sides could be considered to have connections, after all, they were both "their own people"!

If they were sent to the Shuntian Prefecture Office, they might even uncover some "strange" things, but if they entered the Five Cities Military Patrol Office, then the people of the Lai family would have to "contract a sudden illness" in the middle of the night!

Zhang Cheng would absolutely not give them any chance to survive, so the Lai family must die!

"Boom!"

The main gate was rammed open by the soldiers, and a light rain began to fall in the sky.

After cries of alarm came from within the Lai family, Zhang Cheng walked in with a cold face.

Gazing at the magnificent decorations of the Lai family before him, Zhang Cheng also sneered, "Good, good, truly worthy of being an existence that dares to make their master call them 'Grandpa'. Your Lai family is really something!"

"Who are you, who are you? Daring to barge into my Lai family, don't you know I am the Head Steward of the Rongguo Mansion? Be careful, I will report you to the Shuntian Prefecture and take your dog lives!"

Roaring at the top of his lungs, Lai Da was dragged out by the soldiers at this moment and then heavily smashed onto the ground.

And just as Lai Da raised his head, he happened to see the young man riding on the horse, staring at him with a sinister sneer.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in terror, Lai Da couldn't help but say, "Jue, Master Jue..."

"Yo, you still recognize me? Lai Da!"

Looking at Lai Da with a face full of mockery, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but get off his horse.

Walking up to hold an umbrella for Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei looked at Lai Da with disdain.

"Master Jue, what are you doing? My Lai family has always been loyal servants to the Jia family; even if there is no merit, there is hard work. Why must you be like this, and even come to raid my Lai family? If the Old Ancestor finds out, aren't you afraid she will be angry?"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng with a fierce exterior but a cowardly interior, Lai Da was already suspecting at this moment whether what his younger brother did had been discovered by Jia Jue!

"You are using the Old Lady of the Rongxi Hall to bluff me!"

Squatting down, Zhang Cheng looked at Lai Da, who couldn't even stand up on his own, and sneered, "Have you forgotten what I said when I was in Jin Ling back then? That sooner or later I would skin you alive?"

Looking at Lai Da, Zhang Cheng said coldly, "Raid it! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must dig out what this group of giant rats has hidden!"

Following Zhang Cheng's words, the soldiers searched even more carefully.

And just at this moment, amidst roars of anger, a young man wearing luxurious clothes was dragged out.

"Do you know who I am? I am a person about to take office as a County Magistrate! You group of soldiers, actually dare to treat me like this!" Roaring in anger, Lai Shangrong couldn't help but spout nonsense.

But just as Lai Shangrong saw his father and uncle being stepped on the ground, he was completely dumbfounded.

"You dare to do this to a current County Magistrate, who are you?"

Gazing at Lai Shangrong, Zhang Cheng lowered his head and said, "Lai Da, your son is even more arrogant than you! Actually daring to point at me and shout!"

Saying this, Zhang Cheng tilted his head and said, "Knock out his teeth, let this County Magistrate know who I, this soldier, am!"

"Don't, Master Jue, don't..."

Seeing Zhang Cheng about to take action against Lai Shangrong, Lai Da immediately struggled.

But before he could stand up, the soldiers behind him fiercely stepped him onto the ground, pressing his head with their boots.

"Ah!"

Amidst shrill screams, Lai Shangrong's entire mouth of teeth was shattered at this moment.

And after finishing, the soldier held up the other party's head to check and said, "Lord Marquis, there are still a few half-shattered ones!"

"Then knock them all out. How did I teach you to do things?"

Hearing the soldier's words, Zhang Cheng said with a cold face.

And just after the iron fist kept smashing down, Lai Shangrong finally knelt on the ground with a mouth full of blood, his face filled with pain.

Walking in front of Lai Shangrong, Zhang Cheng teased playfully, "Dressed in red and green, so luxurious; if I didn't know better, I'd think you were the young master of the Jia family?"

Saying this, Zhang Cheng dragged Lai Shangrong's head in front of Lai Da and Lai Er and said, "A servant among servants, now actually living more comfortably than the masters. You really don't take my Jia family seriously!"

Following Zhang Cheng's words, Mother Lai appeared, crying and howling; seeing Zhang Cheng, she immediately shouted.

Facing the Mother Lai before him, Jia Wei drew his sword and stepped forward, stabbing through her body with a backhand strike.

Looking at Jia Wei in disbelief, Mother Lai's eyes widened.

"Splash!"

Blood splattered all over the ground, and Mother Lai immediately fell to the ground.

Watching this scene, Lai Da and Lai Er both cried out, and even Lai Shangrong couldn't help but struggle and scream.

But facing all this, Zhang Cheng tilted his head and said, "Why did you kill her? Isn't it dirty? Just leave it to Qiu Liang to do!"

"Uncle, it's the middle of the night, she's making too much noise, the neighbors won't be able to sleep!"

Addressing Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei replied.

"What you say is also true, then kill them all! Leave a few people for Qiu Liang to arrange!"

Speaking with a face full of smiles, no emotional fluctuations could be seen in Zhang Cheng's eyes, as if to him, people and livestock were no different!

"Splash, splash, splash!"

Drawing their waist swords, the soldiers immediately took action.

And just after the people of the Lai family were killed, a group of servants kneeling in the heavy rain were filled with fear, because they couldn't believe that the Lai family, which had been so "arrogant" in the past, would be wiped out overnight!

Coming in front of this group of servants, Zhang Cheng revealed a smile and said, "This group of dog servants from the Lai family really know how to pick good-looking maids!"

"Uncle, why not send them all back to the mansion!"

Addressing Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei took out the slave contracts.

"Pick a few good-looking ones, as for the rest, you all can divide them up!"

Addressing Jia Wei, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Lowering her head in fear, Qingwen trembled all over as the youth in the Qilin robe walked past, terrified that the next one to be killed would be her!
