Chapter 423
"Why don't they climb over the wall?" Looking at the trembling gate being rammed, Zhan Feiyu eyed the raised walls of Muxiang Residence. At this height, they could only stop petty thieves, posing no challenge to trained martial artists.
"They're afraid of death," He Nuan provided the answer.
If they were ordinary thugs, they would have already climbed over the wall for ten taels of silver. However, those outside knew of Miss's identity and that Muxiang Residence was guarded. Climbing over the wall might mean instant death.
After all, it was a residence bought for three thousand taels of silver, Zhan Feiyu listened to the banging on the door and said, "Asheng, open the door."
"Yes." He Sheng acknowledged, and along with the coachman guarding the door, opened the two gates to the left and right.
The main gate suddenly opened from the inside. The seven or eight burly men who had been lifting the willow trunk to ram the door lost their balance. They stumbled forward in a disheveled manner.
With a bang, the thick tree trunk hit the ground, striking one man's foot and eliciting a pig-like scream.
Zhan Feiyu smiled as she watched the man squatting on the ground, clutching his foot and screaming. He was the only one among the group ramming the door who seemed to be in trouble. The others instantly regained their footing.
Zhan Feiyu took a few steps forward and stood on the steps, looking at the dense crowd of people outside the gate. "Is there no law anymore? You dare to ram doors and force your way into a private residence in broad daylight!"
"You damn..." The burly man squatting on the ground, clutching his foot, had just uttered this curse when He Nuan kicked him away. He tumbled down the steps with a splash.
"In Minhe Prefecture, I am the law!" A sharp voice rang out. The burly men outside the gate parted in unison, clearing a path.
Yao Zhenyi, who had just alighted from her carriage, strode forward under the protection of Nanny Cao and He Qiaoyun. Dressed in embroidered silk and adorned with a resplendent silver kingfisher feather and agate gemstone hairpiece, her opulent appearance only amplified her overbearing demeanor.
Zhan Feiyu also sized up the elaborately dressed Yao Zhenyi. This display was indeed intimidating. To dare to call herself the law, she was truly a member of the imperial family.
