Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 526 - 171 Nan Batian: Chen 94 you f*cking betrayed m

"Move aside, move aside, all of you, move aside!"

The Yelu Mansion’s investigation was indeed a spectacle, with the main force of the Mulan Guard Army marching in the middle, and the younger brothers from the Fishing Guild and Guild Cao acting as pioneers to clear the way.

Swinging clubs and sticks, they drove away anyone who dared obstruct the path.

Pedestrians on the road hurried to dodge, the formation clearly signaling that soone was about to be arrested.

Thinking of this, the surrounding people craned their necks, eager to see who would be the next unlucky one to fall into the grasp of Yelu Mansion.

Indeed, the ordinary people living in these tis had already been tornted by society to the point where they had little sympathy left, feeling no compassion even when they saw the Mulan people harming the Han people.

Instead, they took a secret pleasure in it.

Just as Mr. Lao She once said during an interview about his play "Tea House", in tis of war, the common people, having made it through today without a thought for tomorrow, do not feel sympathy when seeing others’ misfortune—rather, they feel a smug satisfaction that the misfortune is not befalling them.

Likewise, the people living under Daqian’s rule also mostly harbored this ntality: their lives had no hope, so they could only revel in the misfortunes of others to feel a sense of pride.

So when they saw a large group of people rushing onto the street, everyone’s first reaction was to join the crowd and see who would be the next to fall.

Chen Jie watched all this, unmoved by either joy or sorrow. In such an environnt, it was difficult to keep a normal state of mind; this kind of hardship was sothing people living in peaceful tis simply could not understand.

The group made their way through the main street and quickly arrived at East Street, at the Blacksmith’s shop.

anwhile, inside the Blacksmith’s shop, they had already received a report: "People from Yelu Mansion have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Sun Tiechui looked back at Han He, who nodded, then swiftly left through the back door, her identity not suitable for such a situation.

After Han He left, Sun Tiechui instructed the blacksmiths to get moving instantly—don’t be idle, continue working as usual, but turn all the weapons being forged into farming tools.

Shovels, sickles, hoes, and the like.

And so, before long, there was a knock at the door: Boom, boom...

Hearing the knocking, Sun Tiechui imdiately stood up and said, "Go open the door and see who it is."

At these words, a disciple promptly went to open the door; soon enough, the door swung open, revealing a crowd of people standing outside.

He was startled and blurted out, "Master, it’s governnt soldiers!"

"Hmm?"

Sun Tiechui heard this and quickly went out to see what was happening. He was also taken aback by the grand scene outside, though of course, his reaction was a performance.

At that mont, Qimu Ge, accompanied by Nan Batian and others, walked over.

Sun Tiechui imdiately cupped his fists and said, "Greetings to Commander Qimu Ge. What brings you here?"

As Sun Tiechui asked, Qimu Ge had not yet replied when Nan Batian interjected, "Master Sun, soone has accused your Blacksmith shop of colluding with the Zoroastrian Sect to secretly manufacture weapons with the intention of rebellion. We are here to investigate, investigate!"

"Bullshit, who made this accusation? Our Blacksmith’s shop abides by the law. How could we be conspiring with the Zoroastrian Sect or secretly manufacture weapons with the intent to rebel? That’s a serious accusation indeed — who the hell is trying to fra ? Guild Leader Nan, it isn’t you, is it?"

Sun Tiechui expressed his hot temper and imdiately lashed out in anger.

Hearing this, Nan Batian quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, it wasn’t —it was Chen Jiusi who said it."

Nan Batian pointed towards Chen Jie.

"It was Chen Jiusi who reported to Darugachi. If you have a problem, ask him."

Upon hearing this, Sun Tiechui abruptly turned towards Chen Jie, his gaze filled with rage, pushing his acting skills to the limit.

"Chen Jiusi, what the hell do you an by this? My Blacksmith shop has no grievances with your White Tiger Hall. Why are you setting up so viciously? If you don’t give an explanation today, this won’t be the end of it!"

Chen Jie, upon hearing this, glanced at Sun Tiechui and said, "What explanation do you want, Master Sun? The innocent have nothing to hide, the guilty expose themselves. If you have nothing to hide, why not let us co in and check? After we check and if there’s nothing, I will apologize to you!"

"An apology, how lightly you say it. With just a few words, you defa ; if indeed sothing is found here, what am I to do!"

"Ha, Master Sun, if sothing is found, then how do you plan to deal with it? Naturally, you’d spend your ti in the prison."

"And if nothing is found?"

Sun Tiechui glared at Chen Jie, who smiled and replied, "If nothing is found, then I was clearly grasping at straws, and I will apologize to Master Sun."

"Just with words?"

Sun Tiechui glared fiercely at Chen Jie, who replied, "I’ll buy you a gift. The pastries from Songxiang House are not bad; I can bring a box of sweets to say sorry."

"Chen Jiusi, you go too far. Do you really think I, Old Sun, am so easily bullied? To hell with you!"

Saying this, Sun Tiechui made a direct swipe at Chen Jie, his palm strike fierce. Chen Jie saw the incoming blow but did not retaliate; instead, he stepped back, and at that mont, Qimu Ge suddenly intervened, slapping his palm directly to et Sun Tiechui’s blow.

Sun Tiechui was shaken back two steps by Qimu Ge’s slap before he could steady himself.

Qimu Ge was always known for his strength, certainly not below Nan Batian or Beilao Liu, and Sun Tiechui was at no advantage against him, repelled by a single strike.

Tap, tap!

After steadying himself, Sun Tiechui said, "Commander Qimu Ge, what is this about?"

Qimu Ge looked at Sun Tiechui and stated, "By the order of Darugachi, we are to search the Blacksmith shop. Do you object?"

Sun Tiechui imdiately responded, "I have no objections."

"Good, no objections, then make way. Do not delay our search."

Chen Jie then chid in from the side, "Yes, make way quickly. Your obstruction—could it be that you are afraid we might discover sothing?"
