Chapter 536: Seeing Is Believing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Yu Pingping returned to Qirui Garden with the Eagle Guards, she realized that Zhu Kui and the others had already forcefully barged into the theater.

They overturned all the tables and chairs in the theater, and teapots and cups fell to the ground.

The audience was trembling in fear. They wanted to escape, but because the door was blocked by the people Zhu Kui had brought, no one could escape.

Liu Qirui knelt down and begged for mercy. “Lord Zhu, please be magnanimous and spare us!”

Zhu Kui admired his anxious appearance and smiled proudly.

“It was your honor that I took a fancy to your daughter back then, but if you don’t know how to appreciate kindness, don’t blame me for being rude.”

With that, he ordered loudly.

“Men, take off his pants and beat him up until I’m satisfied!”

Liu Qirui was a normal man. If his pants were taken off in public and he was beaten up, how could he face anyone in the future? He would rather die!

The servants of the Duke Mansion walked towards Liu Qirui.

At this moment, the servants blocking the door were all sent flying. They fell to the ground and screamed.

Seeing this, Zhu Kui immediately looked angry. “Which reckless thing dares to ruin my plans?”

The next moment, he saw a team of Eagle Guards striding in.

The person in the lead was Lo Pingsha.

He first scanned the situation in the theater and had a general idea.

Although Zhu Kui was not a small fry, he was still a little afraid of the Eagle Guards.

He subconsciously restrained his aura.

Lo Pingsha said expressionlessly, “We received a report that someone was looking for trouble here.”

Zhu Kui immediately denied it. “It wasn’t us!”

Yu Pingping immediately rushed out from behind the Eagle Guards and said loudly.

“It’s you! You brought a group of people to our place to cause trouble. Everything here was broken by you. With so many eyes watching, don’t even think about denying it!”

Zhu Kui was not afraid at all.

He looked around and sneered. “Did any of you see me cause trouble just now?

If you do, stand up.”

These words were clearly a threat.

Due to his status, everyone was angry but did not dare to say anything.

Zhu Kui spread his hands and was very shameless. “Look, no one can prove that I did it.”

Yu Pingping was so angry that her face turned red. ‘You!”

Lo Pingsha was used to such scoundrels and said without changing his expression.

“Since you don’t admit it, come back to the Justice Department with us.

After we investigate this matter and confirm that you’re innocent, we’ll let you go home immediately.

But if you lie… Heh, you know the consequences.”

That last sneer scared Zhu Kui so much that his scalp went numb.

What kind of place was the Justice Department? If he entered that kind of place, he would either die or lose a layer of skin!

He immediately did not dare to be shameless and hurriedly defended himself.

“Don’t! I brought people here to cause trouble. I got someone to overturn these tables and chairs, but I’m doing this to protect Duke Lang’s reputation!” Lo Pingsha thought he had misheard. “Protect whose reputation?” Zhu Kui said quickly.

“You guys don’t know yet, right? There was a show called Duke Lang in

Liaodong playing here every day. The protagonist in the scene was called Duke Lang, but it is actually about Duke Lang of the Justice Department. They are deliberately making things up about Duke Lang and destroying his reputation in the hearts of the commoners!”

Lo Pingsha did not expect such an inside story. He looked at Yu Pingping and asked.

“Is it true?”

Yu Pingping felt uneasy.

Liu Qirui and the others in the theater were also nervous.

Moreover, she had been with Nangong Jue the whole time. He didn’t even say anything. Could it be that He Rong didn’t come over to visit her son? Then what was she doing in Xiling? She immediately shook her head. She couldn’t guess what a woman like He Rong would do.

Yu Pingping said with difficulty, “It’s true.”

Zhu Kui immediately said, “Look, she admitted it! Hurry up and arrest everyone here. Kill those who deserve to be killed and beat up those who deserve to be beaten. Don’t let them ruin Duke Lang’s reputation.” Lo Pingsha ignored Zhu Kui and questioned Yu Pingping.

“Who gave you the guts to arrange an opera with Duke Lang?”

Yu Pingping stammered, “It’…it’s my sister.”

Lo Pingsha’s expression went blank for a moment.

Was this actually instigated by the County Princess?

Seeing that the other party was silent, Yu Pingping was afraid that he would not believe her. Then, right on the heels of that, she said, “This theater is also my sister’s.”

Zhu Kui did not know who Yu Pingping’s sister was. He was still shouting.

“Now that even the mastermind has been exposed, what are you waiting for?

Hurry up and arrest him!”

Lo Pingsha said expressionlessly, “Arrest these troublemakers.”

No matter what the Princess Consort’s intentions were, it was a family matter between her and Duke Lang. The couple could resolve it in private.

However, since this was the Princess Consort’s business, no one could have designs on it.

The Eagle Guards immediately swarmed forward and captured Zhu Kui and the others.

Zhu Kui never expected that he would be the one caught in the end.

He was exasperated. “Are you blind or deaf? The Qirui Opera Troupe maliciously framed Duke Lang. Instead of nabbing them, you actually came to capture me? Do you know who I am? I’m the heir of the Marquis of Yining!”

Lo Pingsha said coldly, “Countless royal families have been locked up by our Justice Department. Not to mention that you’re the heir of the Marquis Manor, even if your father, Marquis Yining, broke the law, we’ll still arrest him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Pingping clapped hard.

Clap, clap, clap!

She looked at Lo Pingsha with admiration.

“Well said!”

Lo Pingsha was stunned. In the past, every time he went out on an errand, he would either face cold looks or cries and pleas. This was the first time someone had applauded him.

Liu Qirui knelt down and kowtowed to him. “Thank you for your help, Official. I can’t thank you enough!”

At this moment, the others in the theater also knelt down and kowtowed to Lo Pingsha to thank him.

Although the audience did not move, they looked at the Eagle Guards with complicated gazes.

They were all residents of the Imperial Capital and had long heard of Zhu Kui’s actions. That guy relied on his status as the heir and often bullied men and women.

Just now, when they saw Zhu Kui complain to the Eagle Guards, they thought that the Eagle Guards would collude with Zhu Kui and bully the people from the Qirui opera troupe.

Unexpectedly, this group of Eagle Guards actually lawfully captured Zhu Kui.

As the saying went, seeing was believing.

In the past, the commoners often heard about how the Eagle Guards bullied others, but that was only hearsay.

Now that they had seen it with their own eyes, they realized that the Eagle Guards were different from what they had expected.

Could it be that what was depicted in the show was true?

Could it be that the Eagle Guards were not as terrifying as the rumors said?

Lo Pingsha did not know what the commoners were thinking. He took a pouch from Zhu Kui and weighed it. It was heavy and must have contained a lot of silver.

He casually handed the pouch to Liu Qirui.

“These are compensation for what Zhu Kui broke with his men. Take them.” Liu Qirui held the pouch with both hands and hurriedly thanked him.

Under everyone’s gaze, Lo Pingsha led the Eagle Guards to escort Zhu Kui and the others out of Qirui Garden..
