Chapter 369 Conflict
"Bullshit!" Lin Zhang pushed Meng Shushen away.
He Taining and Wang Gaojun also stepped forward to stop it.
However, several scholars combined were no match for a barbarian.
Tang Yichen tried to get up, but Lin Zhang's kick caused him serious internal injuries. He vomited blood several times and felt severe pain all over his body when he moved.
Tang Luwu saw Qin Huiyin facing the ferocious brute alone, and noticed that she was holding the candlestick next to her. However, before she could swing the candlestick at him, Qin Huiyin took action first.
Qin Huiyin directly picked up the teapot that the waiter had just brought and poured the boiling tea in the teapot at the barbarian opposite who was beating several people.
No matter how good Lin Zhang's skills were, he couldn't avoid the boiling water.
"Ah..." He screamed in pain from the burns.
He whirled around in the room in agony, wanting to scratch his face but not daring to. He glared at Qin Huiyin viciously and cursed bitterly, "Bitch, I'll make you pay."
He rushed towards Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin watched the man rushing towards her, looked around, and threw anything she could get her hands on. But the man was already mad, and nothing she threw at him was of any use, as he continued to rush towards her.
Qin Huiyin regretted having her maids and Song Yi eat in the hall. She had never imagined that following Tang Yichen would be so dangerous. She thought that with Tang Yichen here, and the East Building being a place with rules, it would be inconvenient for her and Tang Luwu to be here with her maids and attendants. Didn't they see that Tang Yichen's attendants were also resting in the hall? Therefore, she did not bring any servants with her.
If she had known that such a disaster would happen in the East Building, she would have let Song Yi follow her.
Meng Shushen and others tried to stop him again and again, but Lin Zhang was able to deal with those incompetent scholars with one hand. Tang Yichen vomited blood when he moved, and he didn't know where he was injured.
"Someone come...someone come...where did all the people in the East Building go?" He Taining shouted.
Tang Luwu swung the candlestick in her hand and stabbed at Lin Zhang, who grabbed it. Lin Zhang snatched the candlestick from her hand, threw it to the ground beside her, and reached out to grab Qin Huiyin.
Swoosh! A sound of breaking through the air was heard.
laugh!
"Ah!!" Lin Zhang screamed.
Everyone was so dizzy from being beaten by Lin Zhang that they didn't see what happened. When they looked up, they saw Lin Zhang nailed to the pillar with a dagger stuck in his palm.
The dagger pinned Lin Zhang to the pillar, his face grimacing in agony. He looked toward the door and saw the man in the uniform of a military commander standing there lazily.
"Someone's fighting in East City..." Song Ruize said calmly, "Take them away and hand them over to the Jingzhao government office."
Chen Yong glanced at Tang Yichen: "The others..."
Chen Yong knew how much his boss hated Tang Yichen, so he asked. Although his boss had just collaborated with the Tang family on a project a while ago, their relationship was still not smooth.
Several maids had heard the news and rushed over. Seeing the situation inside, they hurried in to serve Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu. Song Yi stood in front of Song Ruize, looking ashamed as if he had done something wrong.
"If they want to go to the Jingzhao government office, they can go. If they don't want to go, there's no need to force them. Lord Tang is so badly injured, take him to the clinic for treatment. The two girls are frightened, so go home early."
With that, Song Ruize turned and left.
Chen Yong immediately arranged for two of his men to carry Tang Yichen to the clinic. Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu followed him. They were relieved when the doctor said that there were no vital injuries, but he would need to stay in bed for a few days to recuperate.
Meng Shushen and others were also punched several times by Lin Zhang. Although they did not vomit blood like Tang Yichen, they also felt pain all over their bodies. They asked the doctor to examine them, but the doctor said that they were just superficial injuries and could be cured by applying some medicine.
"Today was supposed to be a rare day for us all to get together, and also the day we met our two sisters. How could we have run into that shameless brute Lin Zhang?" He Taining said, "Last time, he forcibly abducted a commoner girl. She already had a fiancé, but he insisted on forcing her to marry him. He relied on his military achievements and acted unreasonably, threatening both the girl and her fiancé. The family didn't dare to report the incident to the authorities. When Brother Tang learned of this, he filed a report directly to the Emperor, and he's since become resentful of Brother Tang."
"Such a wicked person should be severely punished instead of just demoted," said Tang Luwu.
"He has made many military achievements, and his superiors gave him a chance to reform, but he didn't cherish it. Today, he got drunk and actually held a grudge against Brother Tang because of that case. If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely not tolerate him anymore. Just wait, he is doomed this time. Hiss, Doctor, please be gentle..."
"Brother Tang, the soldiers from the Military Affairs Division arrived quite quickly today. I've heard for a long time that the Military Affairs Division is backing the East Building, and it seems to be true." Wang Gaojun said, "No wonder there was such a big commotion just now, but the people from the East Building didn't show up. It turns out they went to report to the authorities."
"How can a small military unit be enough to support such a large East Tower? They must have other powerful backers. The East Tower is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface." Tang Yichen said weakly, "I have troubled you brothers today. Please don't be offended. I will formally apologize to you all after my injuries heal."
"Brother Tang, what nonsense are you talking about? You did nothing wrong. It's that Lin who's so arrogant. He thinks everyone should give way to him just because he has some military achievements. What a pipe dream! When it comes to military achievements, who can be greater than the one who defends the country..."
"Are you dying?" Wang Gaojun scolded. "You didn't even have a few sips of wine. Did your brain get damaged, so you did something stupid? What are the taboos now? Do you need me to remind you?"
He Taining was scolded, but did not dare to talk back.
None of them were seriously injured, so the doctor told them to go back on their own.
Meng Shushen looked at Qin Huiyin: "Miss Qin, you just lifted the kettle, did you get burned?"
"Oh, that's right!" Tang Luwu took Qin Huiyin's hand and looked at it carefully. "There's a blister here. It must be painful. Why didn't you tell me?"
Qin Huiyin did have a few blisters on her hands, but they were not serious. She didn't say anything because she didn't want everyone to worry, but in the end, Meng Shushen revealed it.
"I don't feel any pain. It must be nothing serious. Just go back and apply some medicine." Qin Huiyin said, taking her hand back.
Tang Yichen said to the doctor, "Please prescribe some ointment for my sister so that she won't get any scars."
The doctor said, "There's a ready-made burn ointment. If you apply it every day, it will definitely not leave scars."
Tang Yichen's gaze stayed on Meng Shushen and Qin Huiyin.
Meng Shushen paid too much attention to Qin Huiyin, which made Tang Yichen realize that something was wrong.
You know, Meng Shushen was also a popular choice for those who wanted to be his son-in-law. He had gone to great lengths to hide in order to avoid the gentry and officials who wanted to be his son-in-law. It was clear that Meng Shushen wasn't really a nerd. He knew what he needed to know, but he had never paid attention to women before. But today, he was so attentive to whether Qin Huiyin was injured. This was something that even his brother hadn't noticed.
