The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Seeing the hooligans smashing the tables, chairs, and cups in the store more and more wildly, with debris flying everywhere, Xiao Cui felt very anxious. She was about to shout to stop them again, but the customers surrounded them again, shouting for compensation, and their voices were harsh.

"Girl, we stayed here to live in peace, but now it's like this. You must give us an explanation. Compensation is the minimum!" A fat customer had a trembling face and put his hands on his hips, blocking Xiao Cui's way.

Xiao Cui was angry and anxious, her eyes were red, and she bit her lip and said, "My dear guests, they are the ones who caused this trouble. When my young lady returns, she will be able to deal with it properly. I hope you can help me deal with the troublemaker first!"

But the crowd seemed not to hear and continued to push Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui staggered and almost fell.

The hooligans, seeing that Xiao Cui was entangled, became more and more aggressive. The leader jumped onto the counter and kicked over the decorations.

At this moment, Xiao Cui also found the courage. She was no longer afraid of these customers. Her chest rose and fell violently. She pointed at those customers who were clamoring for compensation and angrily rebuked them: "You are so heartless to kick someone when he is down! The culprits of this disaster in our store are clearly those wanton hooligans. Instead of helping to resist, you took advantage of the situation and robbed them. This is too much! The matter of compensation has to wait until the storm subsides before discussing it. There is no reason to force them now!"

Xiao Cui knew that she had never been so bold before, but when she thought of the young lady, endless courage surged in her heart and she was determined to keep the store.

The hooligans rushed around in the store, overturning tables and chairs and breaking porcelain, and in a moment the store was in ruins.

The sly-looking gang leader swung the stick in his hand and grinned at Xiao Cui, "Little girl, be sensible and leave with your master. We have set our sights on this place. If you open a shop here again tomorrow, we will not only smash these things, but also your lives, hehe, will be in danger!"

Xiao Cui gritted her teeth, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but she did not retreat and responded with her head held high.

Seeing this, the gangsters burst into laughter again, cursing under their breath.

At this time, Wenxuan and two soldiers, Chen Hu and Zhao Gang, arrived quickly on horseback.

The three men dismounted and were furious at the chaotic, noisy and messy scene before they even entered the store.

Tables and chairs were scattered all over the place, and broken pieces of porcelain were strewn all over the floor.

Wenxuan felt a little scared and secretly thanked himself for getting help in time. If it had been later, he didn't know how bad the situation would have deteriorated.

Chen Hu was impatient and took the lead to step into the store. His eyes widened and his voice was like thunder: "Who are you doing? You dare to commit violence and cause trouble in broad daylight and disturb the people. Do you have any respect for the law?"

The roar was so loud that the beams in the store seemed to tremble. Several hooligans were so frightened that they trembled and almost lost control of the sticks they were waving.

Zhao Gang followed closely behind, his posture straight, and stomped the spear in his hand with a dull sound. Together with Chen Hu, he glared at the gangsters. A powerful aura spread out instantly, intimidating the troublemakers.

The originally chaotic and noisy atmosphere in the store suddenly froze to the point where you could hear a pin drop.

The little gangster looked at them in uniform and aggressive manner, and was immediately frightened. He subconsciously shrank back and hid the stick in his hand behind his back.

When Xiao Cui saw the reinforcements had arrived, her eyes instantly turned red. She quickly ran to Wenxuan, tears welling up in her eyes and she sobbed uncontrollably.

"Miss, you are finally here. I was really scared just now! Those hooligans were too arrogant. They smashed and cursed us as soon as they entered the store, and threatened to kill us. And those customers didn't help to resist, but took advantage of the chaos to force me to pay compensation. They showed no mercy at all."

Wenxuan patted Xiaocui's shoulder to comfort her, raised his eyes to look at the embarrassed customers in the corner of the store, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Everyone, the chaos in the store has not been resolved yet, you just wait. If the store really deserves compensation, we will deal with it according to the rules later, but if you still want to make trouble and make trouble, the law will not tolerate it."

Those customers looked ashamed, stammered, lowered their heads, and dared not say another word.

Chen Hu and Zhao Gang took a few steps forward, forced the hooligans to the wall, held their spears horizontally, and said coldly: "You guys are so bold!"

Wang Er, the leader of the gang, tried to stay calm, stiffened his neck, and deliberately raised his voice to ask, "What are you two doing? Don't make a fuss as soon as you get here. You arrested people for no reason. I won't accept it!"

Chen Hu raised his thick eyebrows, his eyes flashed with majesty, and he replied in a sonorous voice: "Humph, we are soldiers under the command of the Prime Minister, and we are ordered to maintain law and order. How can we allow rats like you to run wild here!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like thunderclap out of the blue, and the gangsters turned pale instantly.

The corners of Wang Er's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he felt panicky. Xiao Cui's previous words "My young lady has a close relationship with the current prime minister" kept echoing in his mind. He wondered if this little girl was right.

The other gangsters exchanged horrified glances with each other, regretting that they had taken this "hot potato" job today, and only hoped for a chance to escape from this predicament.

At this time, Wang Er knelt down with a plop, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sir, young lady, all this was directed by others. We were just used as guns by others. It really has nothing to do with us. Please have mercy on us!"

Seeing Wang Er kneeling down, the other hooligans also knelt down and begged for mercy like dominoes, muttering various words of begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Xiao Cui raised her eyebrows, took a few steps forward and said, "Humph, I tried to persuade you with kind words before, gave you a chance, and clearly told you not to make trouble. My family has a close relationship with the Prime Minister, but none of you listened. You were so arrogant, smashing the store and threatening people. Now you are afraid, what were you doing before?"

Wen Xuan stood by, frowning slightly, looking at the embarrassed gangsters, and said in a cold voice: "Under someone's orders? Humph, tell me in detail who the person who ordered you to do it is. If you tell even a lie, you will be punished even more severely."

Wang Er had no choice but to confess: "All of this was done by Han Donglai and several shop owners. We just took the money and followed their orders."

Although Wenxuan had expected this, she was still furious when she heard these words with her own ears. Her eyebrows raised, and she quickly moved to Wang Er with lotus steps. She raised her delicate hands and slapped Wang Er in the face with "slap, slap, slap" several times, making his cheeks red and swollen.

"Do you have a pig brain? You do whatever others tell you to do without knowing right from wrong!" Wenxuan scolded angrily.

Wang Er covered his face, shrank back and dared not refute, and explained in a whisper: "Girl, they gave me money. We poor people have a hard time. I thought 'other people's money can help them get rid of disasters', so I was blinded by greed and did this stupid thing."

As soon as Wang Er finished speaking, Wen Xuan became even more furious. His eyes widened, and he raised his hand and slapped him hard again, shouting, "You just do what others ask you to do, without knowing right from wrong? You are unworthy of being a human being if you act like this! You are guilty of an even greater crime, and you deserve to die!"

Wang Er was beaten so hard that he saw stars and remained silent, not daring to say a word.

Zhao Gang and Chen Hu hurried forward and advised: "Girl, calm down. Don't let this filthy little man make you sick. Leave the rest to us."

Wenxuan's chest heaved violently. He took a few deep breaths, then stepped aside and looked coldly at the gangsters kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

At this time, Chen Hu glared, stabbed the spear in his hand, and ordered Wang Er and others: "Kneel down here obediently. Anyone who dares to move will be punished by military law!"

After saying that, he turned and looked at Zhao Gang.

"Brother, go find Han Donglai and his men quickly. Don't let them get away."

Zhao Gang nodded heavily, gripped his spear tightly, and was about to take a step forward when Wenxuan walked forward.

"Sir, I know where Han Donglai lives. I'll lead the way so as not to delay the arrest."

Zhao Gang and Wenxuan hurried out of the store and mounted their horses. Han Donglai and several other store owners were still sitting around leisurely, the aroma of tea wafting from the table, they were talking and laughing, completely unaware of the impending disaster.

Han Donglai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly with a smug smile on his face, "If those little hooligans make a move, those two girls won't be able to resist and will definitely leave in disgrace. By then, we will be able to control this territory."

Several other shop owners also echoed this. One of them curled his lips and responded nonchalantly: "That's right, this is all their own fault. They don't know what's good for them and insist on staying here. They deserve to be punished. We can just sit back and reap the benefits."

Several people were talking excitedly.

At this moment, Wenxuan and Zhao Gang appeared in Han Donglai's shop in a hurry.

Wen Xuan raised his eyebrows, glared angrily, and walked straight to Han Donglai, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and asked sternly: "Han Donglai, did you guys send people to smash my store?"

Han Donglai was stunned at first, but ignored Wenxuan's question. Instead, he cast his eyes on Zhao Gang, who was standing tall beside him. After looking him up and down, he frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why did you barge in like this?"

Zhao Gang's face was grim. He took a step forward and responded in a voice as loud as a bell: "I am a soldier of the Prime Minister. I came here today on orders to investigate those of you who are secretly doing bad things and disturbing public order!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the store seemed to freeze instantly. The smiles on the faces of the shop owners disappeared instantly, and their expressions became nervous.

A shop owner heard what Zhao Gang said and wondered, "How can such a small shop be related to the Prime Minister? Is he bluffing?"

Han Donglai couldn't help but feel suspicious, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

Then, Han Donglai stiffened his neck, pointed his finger at Zhao Gang, and shouted fiercely: "How dare you impersonate the prime minister? Do you know what the punishment is?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Gang's face darkened, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he took a step forward, swung his arm violently, and with a "slap", a solid slap landed on Han Donglai's face, causing his body to tilt and his cheeks to instantly become red and swollen.

Zhao Gang shouted angrily: "Humph, you dare to slander us, do you think you can question the Prime Minister's authority at will?"

Upon seeing this, the shop owners were so frightened that they fell silent and dared not even breathe.

Next, Zhao Gang snorted coldly, and took out a token from his arms calmly. He held it high, looked dignified, and said in a deep voice: "All of you, open your eyes and take a good look. This is a special token of our military camp. Look at which team I belong to. Don't talk nonsense and try to quibble!"

Several shop owners came forward quickly. Although they didn't quite understand the intricacies of the token, they began to believe it as they saw that the token was of extraordinary quality and the patterns engraved on it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Han Donglai covered his still burning face, his body trembling slightly involuntarily, his eyes full of fear, and asked Zhao Gang cautiously: "General, are you...are you really the Prime Minister's man?"

After asking Zhao Gang, Han Donglai turned his gaze to Wenxuan, his eyes full of doubt and fear, and asked with a trembling voice: "Then who are you...how come you have any relationship with the Prime Minister?"

Wenxuan raised his chin slightly, his eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "Humph, are you scared now? You are not qualified to know who I am, but you sent people to smash my store, and you must pay the price!"

Seeing this, Han Donglai hurriedly looked at the shop owner named Liu, his eyes full of help, as if he wanted him to come up with some way to deal with this difficult situation.

The shop owner Liu also looked very embarrassed at this moment. He forced a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, then quickly turned his face away, secretly complaining in his heart.

He thought to himself that he could usually do whatever he wanted in this area because of his relationship with the county magistrate. But now, facing the prime minister's people, the county magistrate was just a small official in front of the prime minister and could not play any role at all.

This time I have really hit a wall. I really don't know what to do. I can only hope for a glimmer of hope and avoid the impending disaster.

Suddenly, Han Donglai laughed dryly, pretending to be innocent, and said to Wenxuan, "Girl, you just said someone came to your place to cause trouble. This matter has nothing to do with us. Don't wrongly accuse a good person."

The other shop owners immediately understood and followed suit, shouting, "That's right, it has nothing to do with us, don't make random accusations."

The look of him trying to distance himself from the matter was really disgusting.

Wenxuan shouted angrily, "I've never seen people like you before. You look so hateful. You still want to argue even after all this. It was obviously you who ordered me to do this, but you still want to cheat. Do you really think everyone else is a fool?"

Zhao Gang's face darkened, and his eyes swept over the shop owners like lightning. He said sternly: "It's useless for you to continue to quibble. Those hooligans have already honestly admitted that they were instigated by you to cause trouble. Now, all of you should hurry up and come to the store, follow us, and explain everything clearly. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

When the owners heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment. They stood there for a moment, as if their feet had grown roots. Zhao Gang frowned and raised his voice again, saying, "Why, you guys are not leaving yet? Do you want me to force you to leave?"

The majestic aura frightened the owners so much that they trembled and then moved their feet hesitantly.

With no other options, Han Donglai and several other owners had to follow them to the shop dejectedly.

Han Donglai was holding back his anger. As he walked, he deliberately moved closer to Wenxuan and said in a low voice with some complaints, "Since you have a relationship with the Prime Minister, why didn't you tell us earlier? If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have dared to provoke him, and it wouldn't have come to this point."

Wenxuan secretly found it funny, but deliberately put on a stern face, turned his head to look at Han Donglai, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "What are you talking about? Speak louder, I can't hear you."

Han Donglai was choked by the deliberate look and his face turned red, but he didn't dare to get angry and could only stare blankly. The other owners who saw this were also angry but dared not say anything and could only keep their heads down and keep walking forward.

Seeing Han Donglai was choked and speechless, Wenxuan continued, "Huh, oh, I think I understand. You mean I have a relationship with the Prime Minister, why didn't you tell you in advance? Why should I tell you? Who do you think you are! Do I need to report anything I do to you? You take yourself too seriously. When you sent people to cause trouble in my store before, why didn't you think of the consequences today!"

Wenxuan's words were spoken quickly and harshly, choking Han Donglai so much that his face turned red. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't utter a word in rebuttal. He could only lower his head and silently endure Wenxuan's scolding.

The other owners were also silent, not daring to make a sound, and just hoped that the journey could be completed quickly so that they would not have to endure such humiliation as much as possible.

Han Donglai was so angry that his chest heaved violently, but he didn't dare to show it in front of others. He could only grit his teeth in secret.

Wenxuan seemed to see through his thoughts. She raised a mocking smile and said nonchalantly, "I know you are very angry now, and I know what you are thinking. You must be thinking about how to retaliate against me in the future, right? Humph, I welcome you anytime, but you have to consider yourself and see if you have the ability to do it. Don't end up losing more than you gain, and end up making yourself even more miserable!"

After hearing this, Han Donglai's face turned pale and blue, and the knuckles of his clenched fists turned white from exerting so much force. However, under the circumstances, he could only swallow his anger.

Soon he returned to his angry but speechless look.

Seeing Wenxuan's fearless and eloquent look, Zhao Gang actually thought she was so adorable. He nodded slightly at her, as if applauding her courage.

Wenxuan calmed down and continued, "I usually have a good temper, but today I was really mad at these people. I have never been so angry before. They are behaving like this. They really think there is no law in this world. We must teach them a lesson!"

After saying that, she glared at Han Donglai and the others fiercely.

In the store, several customers told Xiao Cui that since the store was related to the Prime Minister, they did not want the compensation. (End of this chapter)
