Chapter 1046 Take Action
Li Mu caught a whiff of something else in the elder’s remark.
He still wanted to say something. However, suddenly there was a noise in the distance. It seemed that something had happened. A lot of people gathered around, and the crowd was heading for the small courtyard of the Yun Family.
“What day is it today? This is the second batch of people from above coming to the Muddy Land.” The elder stood up breathlessly and looked outside.
“Grandma, I’ll go and have a look.”
Yun Shuangyan was about to take care of his sister in the room. At this time, he was also shocked and ran out of the yard to see what happened.
Li Mu also looked back.
With his sharp eyes, he immediately saw several fierce guards. Led by two old maids, they escorted a woman in coarse clothes with disheveled hair straight to the small courtyard of the Yun Family.
Soon, the exclamation and roar of Yun Shuangyan came.
A group of people rushed into the Yun Family’s courtyard.
Yun Shuangyan stumbled in.
Many people had already gathered outside the low wall. They looked into the yard outside the wall. When they saw Li Mu, many of them showed a look of surprise. They wondered what was going on with the Yun Family this year. The Yun Family had five people, and two of them were disabled. How could they provoke so many people from the places above their heads?
The people above their heads referred to those big shots living on beautiful floating mountains.
“Who is in charge of the Yun Family? Come out!” The fat old woman fiercely glanced at the elder, and her eyes just stayed on Li Mu for a moment. Then she excluded him and shouted at the elder.
Yun Shuangyan rushed over in a panic and held the elder. He said in a trembling voice, “Grandma, they framed my mother for stealing things in the Yu Mansion.”
“Framing?” The old woman sneered and said, “Boy, you’d better watch your words. What do you mean by saying framing? She was caught red-handed. This dirty bitch stole a Golden Jade Pellet from our mansion. More than a dozen people saw the scene with their own eyes.”
The disheveled woman was pushed out and fell heavily to the ground.
A gold-gilded wooden box was thrown next to her.
“Mom.”
Yun Shuangyan hurried over and helped the woman up.
At this time, Li Mu saw this woman’s figure was quite slim, and it was attractive. The skin exposed outside her light clothes was crystal white like jade. Her scattered hair covered her face, but it was easy for the onlookers to subconsciously think that she was a beauty.
“I didn’t steal it. Third Young Master of the Yu Mansion gave it to me.”
The woman’s voice was hoarse and deep, with a strange sense. It didn’t seem to be born like this but should be hurt.
“Third Young Master said he hadn’t done such a thing.” The old woman sneered and said, “Bitch, you are obviously a bitch. You stole the Golden Jade Pellet and seduced Third Young Master. You are as obscene as a ghost. You are really a bitch.”
“Shut up.” Yun Shuangyan clenched his fists and shouted, “Don’t insult my mother like this.”
The old woman’s face was full of disdain, and she said, “The bastard you have given birth to is already so old, but you still seduced Third Young Master. Tut… You are so shameless.”
The crowd outside the low mud wall began to discuss.
Li Shang and the others looked at Li Mu. Chief Li didn’t let them take action, so they stood by and waited.
“What’s going on?” The elder with the cane looked at the woman.
The woman said in a hoarse voice, “Ying’er’s illness has worsened. This Golden Jade Pellet can relieve it. It was given by the Third Young Master. I thought he was kind, but I didn’t expect that he would threaten and bribe me. He molested me, but I refused him desperately. Later, he said I stole it and forced me to submit to him.”
Although the woman’s voice was hoarse, her words were organized and concise. It was obvious that she was well-educated. She might have been a daughter of a rich family in the past.
“Hey, bitch, don’t you see your ugly appearance? How could my Third Young Master molest you? Who will believe your words?” The old woman laughed as if she had heard a joke.
The dozen or so servants behind her also roared with laughter.
At this time, the woman slowly raised her head, and her hair scattered over her face, revealing half of her face. Her skin was fair and attractive, and one of her eyes was bright as if it could shine. Half of her face was amazing.
She was definitely a beauty.
Moreover, she looked as if she had not given birth to a child. She looked as young as a 16-year-old girl.
However, when the hair on the other side was scattered, the other half of her face was exposed. It was as dark as ink, and her skin was rough like a black rock. It looked ugly, ferocious, and frightening.
Her face turned out to be a Yin-Yang face.
“Is that a birthmark?”
Li Mu was surprised.
In the Yu Mansion, the young man dressed like a lackey humbled himself and smiled obsequiously as he served the Third Young Master a cup of tea. “Young Master, have you changed your taste recently? That bitch is as ugly as a ghost. Do you have a crush on her?”
The Third Young Master, Yu Zhen, took a sip of the tea with his legs crossed and said with a smile, “You don’t know it. Half of that bitch’s face is so beautiful. I saw it by accident before. Then I was fascinated.”
“But the other half of her face is too ugly. It makes people lose interest.”
“You don’t understand. Isn’t it the same as long as I cover her face?” Yu Zhen licked his lips and said, “You don’t know that bitch’s figure and skin are stunning. Except for the birthmark on her face, other parts of her are more attractive than those of the most popular beauty of the Fairy Wind House.”
“Ha… I understand now. Third Young Master, you want to change your taste.”
“You know me. Besides, don’t you think it’s exciting to do such a thing?”
“Since Third Young Master has taken a fancy to her and wants to play, as long as you give the order, I will tie her up and take her to the leopard house. You can play with her at will. Why did you ask Granny Rong to take her to the Muddy Land?”
“Ha… There’s something you don’t know. I’ve sent someone to investigate this bitch. She’s the daughter-in-law of Yun Zhongyue, the Chief of the Inquisition in the past. Yun You is the son of Yun Zhongyue. Back then, he was also known as a genius. Later, Yun Zhongyue was involved in that matter and was forced to commit suicide. To atone for his sins, his son went far away to the frontline of the East. That bitch was also famous in Huining City in the past. She was forced to cripple her cultivation with her mother-in-law and hide in the Muddy Land. I heard that she had a peerlessly beautiful daughter. Unfortunately, the girl contracted the Nine Yin Incurable Disease and lay in bed like an ice person. Do you think I need to think so much for an ordinary woman? It’s exciting to play with this kind of woman. I’ll let her lie down and endure the humiliation in front of me. I’ll have great fun.”
“Young Master is brilliant.”
There was also a burst of laughter outside the low mud wall.
However, the woman’s expression hadn’t changed yet.
She stood up straight and didn’t care about the gazes of the people around her. She said, “No, I didn’t do such a thing.”
“You are slandering her. My mother will never do such a thing.” Yun Shuangyan clenched his fists. For any woman, such a charge was undoubtedly devastating.
“Humph! I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. Come on! Arrest this family and send them all to the Law Department. Since one of them is a thief, the whole family are thieves,” Granny Rong ordered arrogantly and said.
The woman’s expression changed. “Don’t go too far.”
Granny Rong sneered and said, “You didn’t know how to appreciate the Young Master’s kindness.”
Leaning on her cane, the elder staggered to her daughter-in-law.
“Mom.” The woman sighed and seemed to want to say something.
The elder shook her head, turned around, and looked at Granny Rong and the others.
At this moment, Li Mu keenly felt there seemed to be a faint, horrible, and strange strength slowly recovering in the elder’s body.
“Why don’t you take action?” Granny Rong didn’t notice it at all. She pointed at the elder and the others and said, “Go ahead and arrest them. I heard that she has a daughter. Seize the person too!”
The servants unaware of the danger rushed over aggressively.
“Wait,” Li Mu said.
He was not talking to Granny Rong and the other evil guests.
Instead, he said that to the elder.
Realizing that the elder, who seemed to be easy to be blown down by a gust of wind, actually had a strange strength in her body, he instantly understood that she might have a reason to hide here. Thinking of what the elder had said before, he realized that there might be some hidden reason why the descendants of the Yun Family were so down and out. It was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
“Let me deal with it.” He said to the elder.
The elder looked at him.
The woman also looked at him. She didn’t know about Li Mu now.
Li Mu looked at the elder and said with an extremely bright smile, “After all, I am now a member of the Inquisition. If I just stand by and watch, after the news spreads, how can I lead my brothers to work for the Inquisition in the future? Since we are here, we can’t get away from this thing even if we leave now.”
The aura of the elder’s strength gradually dissipated.
“Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people’s business?” Granny Rong looked at Li Mu and said, “Little guy, chief commander Yu of the Thunderflame Clan is my patriarch. How dare you meddle in our business?”
“The Thunderflame Clan?”
Li Mu changed his expression a few times.
“Why is the Thunderflame Clan involved in this?”
“Are you afraid? If you’re afraid, get out of here. How dare you meddle in the affairs of our Yu Mansion? Are you tired of living, little thing?” Granny Rong thought Li Mu was afraid, so she suddenly became more arrogant and scolded him with her hands on her hips.
She was really stupid.
Li Mu ignored the shrew and said directly, “Beat them up.”
“Yes, Chief!”
Li Shang and the others, who were waiting outside, had been holding back their anger for a long time. As soon as they were ordered, they attacked in an instant.
Crack!
Granny Rong was slapped down by Li Shang, and half of her face swelled like a pig’s head.
“Ah. They want to kill me.” She screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Several servants wanted to retaliate but were knocked to the ground by the experts of the Inquisition.
Those who could follow Li Mu out were all experts of the Inquisition. They could easily deal with those servants.
Crack!
Slap! Slap!
The sound of fracture and face slapping could be heard.
In the blink of an eye, all the people brought by Granny Rong were almost beaten to death. Now, they were lying on the ground and groaning like pigs about to die. They were covered in blood, and there was no intact part of their bodies. Li Mu just let his subordinates beat them up instead of killing them. Therefore, Li Shang and the others did not kill them.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! You’re finished. How dare you hit me? My Third Young Master won’t let you go.” Granny Rong screamed, her face covered in blood.
