Chapter 420: Bold, even daring to bribe the constables!

You little bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?

Du Guan slapped Du Wenxuan hard, knocking him to the ground, glaring at him fiercely; he was almost driven to death by this bastard's anger, and he began to curse:

"Mountain God? What Mountain God? You don't even piss and look at yourself to see what qualifies you to be a Mountain God? You still want to be the Lion Ridge Mountain God—why don't you just be the god of our family's toilet?"

"If there truly is a Lion Ridge Mountain God, it certainly isn't you; it should be these two mighty, imposing constables. What are you, daring to dream of being a Mountain God?"

This bastard has no conscience; after great difficulty raising him, this good-for-nothing, even after growing up, has never given him anything in return, and instead drains their family's wealth.

Now, after finally obtaining the Lion Ridge Mountain God Token, this bastard instead thinks of competing with him for it.

To seize the Lion Ridge Mountain God Token, this bastard has employed every sort of underhanded trick.

If it weren't for his being one step ahead, not only would the Mountain God Token have been taken by this little bastard, but even his lineage's heirloom would have been ruined by this bastard.

At this moment.

This bastard still doesn't know his limits, bringing up the Mountain God Token in front of these two ferocious constables.

Although he had never seen these two constables before and they were strangers to him, he had encountered many constables, all of whom were man-eaters who never spit out bones.

Don't be fooled by their constable garb—they have never acted like humans.

Before.

From time to time they would run to their family's shop to extort tea money!

If these two beasts learned that they possessed a Lion Ridge Mountain God Token that could make one a god, he dare not imagine what atrocities they would commit.

This bastard actually dared to mention this matter in front of these two man-eating constables.

Just like a woman half-hiding her door in an alley, beckoning men to bed, this bastard is luring these two constables to kill him and his father, completely oblivious to the concept of death.

If it weren't for the fact that these two man-eating constables were nearby, fearing to arouse their suspicion, he would have felt like killing this bastard.

Old geezer...

Du Wenxuan, slapped to the ground, couldn't help wanting to curse loudly.

He hadn't forgotten that his Mountain God Token had been snatched by this old geezer, and in his efforts to reclaim what was his, he had suffered much bullying from this dog.

This dog of a thing pulls every sort of underhanded trick.

If he weren't unarmed—cough, cough—and if he weren't wary that this old geezer is his father, he would have already killed him.

Now.

This old geezer actually dares to strike him.

He.

How could he not be angry?

Just as Du Wenxuan, face contorted, was about to curse loudly and seek revenge on Du Guan, he heard Du Guan's string of words, first stunned, then realized, his face slightly changed, and the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.

The Lion Ridge Mountain God Token still does not belong to him; he has not yet become the Lion Ridge Mountain God by virtue of the token. If these two constables learned that he and his father possessed a Mountain God Token, who knows what murderous and plundrous schemes they might devise.

He never dared to think highly of the moral standards of the Qingyang County constables!

"Mountain God Token?"

The two constables' faces were full of mockery; before they could finish speaking, Du Guan hastily interrupted:

"Sirs, don't listen to this bastard's nonsense; he's become obsessed with strange tales. The Mountain God Token—what kind of thing is it? Could ordinary people like us possibly possess it? Moreover, it's not a good thing at all; it's the root of all chaos."

"Even if we didn't have it, and even if we luckily picked one up, I would turn it over to the county office at once; I would never dare keep it in hand!"

"Is that so..."

Before the two constables finished speaking, they saw Du Guan take a money pouch from his waist, about to open it to take out a dozen or so copper coins to bribe the two constables, when they heard the constables cough.

Du Guan instinctively looked up and saw the two constables' gazes fixed on the money pouch in his hand; first startled, then realizing, he silently cursed these two dog-things as inhuman, their greed insufficient—they even eyed this single money pouch.

Du Guan was furious, but as the saying goes, a person under another's roof must lower his head; not knowing whether these two dog-things would truly suspect him of having a Mountain God Token, fearing they might harbor murderous and thieving intentions, he could only suppress his resentment and hand over the somewhat heavy money pouch.

"'You two dog-things, don't get cocky; today you extort me, but once I become the Lion Ridge Mountain God, I'll deal with you two bastards—what you've taken, I'll demand tenfold—no, a hundredfold return!'"

Du Guan swore silently.

"'Father, wasn't our Mountain God Token taken by someone?'"

Du Wenxuan suddenly realized and hurriedly said.

"'What did you say?'"

This novel you have reached.

Du Guan suddenly recalled that, while they were fighting over the Mountain God Token, seeing Du Wenxuan about to take it, he was ready to strike a killing blow when, out of nowhere, a person appeared; before he and his father could react, the person casually snatched the Mountain God Token away.

When they tried to retake their Mountain God Token, the opponent gave them a cold glance—just that look—directly frightening him and his father into fainting.

At this time.

By now they no longer have the Mountain God Token; it was likely taken long ago.

Du Guan reacted, about to retrieve the money pouch, but he was a step too slow; a constable snatched it away with one hand, his face grim, he pleaded:

"'Sirs, both sirs, you've made a mistake, you've made a mistake—quickly return the money pouch to me!'"

"'What mistake? You dare bribe us brothers; this is evidence—later we brothers will tell you the crime of bribing constables!'"

The two constables barked, not giving Du Guan a chance to explain, impatiently saying: 'Enough, stop talking nonsense here; the County Magistrate is still waiting for you and your father!'

"'County Magistrate?'"

Du Guan first startled, instinctively turned his head, immediately noticed the surroundings, his whole body went limp, he collapsed to the ground, trembling voice, he wailed:

"'No, I already ran home—how, how am I still at the Zhang family's? Heaven, are you trying to take my life?'"

"'Zhang family, what Zhang family...'"

Du Wenxuan shuddered all over, his gaze instantly noticing Zhang Chengze beside Wei Yuan, his face grim, he cried out in terror: 'Father!'

"'Clang!' 'Clang!'"

The two constables drew their long sabers with a clear ring, startling the Du father and son to tremble all over, they shouted:

You brat, don't even bother calling Dad; even if you call Grandpa it's useless—the County Magistrate is still waiting for you two, and if you don't go over now, watch out, you might not be able to keep your heads!

I, I, I'm going now!

The Du family father and son looked at the sidearm flashing with cold light, their hearts filled with fear, they no longer dared to say more, trembling as they walked toward Wei Yuan.
