Chapter 691 Armed Return Visit
Hongnong City, Luxianghou Mansion.

"what?!"

"You said that the Champion Marquis brought a large army to pay a return visit???"

The father of Mr. Liu who returned the goods, Marquis of Luxiang Liu Song, stared with wide eyes and nervously looked at the servant who reported the news.

It turned out that after Su Yao and Zhen Jiang left the mansion together, he actually directly ordered hundreds of cavalrymen to gallop on the streets and head straight for the Marquis of Luxiang's mansion.

"My Lord, is it a bit abrupt for us to come directly to your house like this?"

Zhen Jiang was obviously a little worried.

The Hongnong Liu family is a powerful and well-established family. Although the current Marquis of Luxiang is not a high-ranking official, his father once served as the Grand Marshal and has many old friends.

Sending a large army directly to threaten someone's mansion is really reckless and will have a significant impact.

Su Yao smiled slightly and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. These noble families think highly of themselves and think they can control me. Today I will let them know who is the master of Hongnong City."

However, Su Yao just smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, Madam, I know what to do."

He looked into the distance with a deep gaze, and he already had a plan in mind.

When he captured Hongnong City, he discovered that there were signs of instability among the people.

Although these people surrendered, they were obviously not convinced.

However, Su Yao's target was Tongguan and Chang'an, and he didn't intend to waste too much time on Hongnong, who was just passing through.

However, if you yourself jump out to cause trouble, that is a different matter.

Su Yao witnessed the changes in the situation over the past two days.

He knew very well that the reason why the noble families in Hongnong City dared to boycott the Zhen family business that was protected by him so unscrupulously must be due to complex conflicts of interest and power struggles.

But no matter how cunning they are, in the face of absolute strength, all their conspiracies will be exposed.

The purpose of his trip was to shock these noble families with thundering means and let them know who is the real master of Hongnong City.

Soon, Su Yao arrived outside the gate of Marquis Lu Xiang's Mansion.

In front of Marquis Lu Xiang's mansion, the sound of hundreds of cavalrymen's hooves roared, raising dust. The cavalry led by Su Yao stopped in front of the mansion gate with a menacing look.

Upon seeing this, the servants in the mansion were immediately panicked and ran around to tell each other, and the entire mansion fell into chaos.

"Quick, go and report to the Marquis!"

"The Champion Marquis has brought his troops to our doorstep. What should we do?"

The servants were in chaos, while Liu Song, Marquis of Luxiang, and his son had sullen faces.

"Father, I told you that the goods cannot be returned. If we offend this champion marquis, we will have a hard time."

"Look, now Champion Hou Dajun is here to conduct an after-sales visit. How should we respond?"

After-sales follow-up, this statement made Liu Song's scalp tingle.

I didn't expect that Su Yao was so bold as to bring his troops directly to the door just for the return of a wave of goods. It was simply unreasonable.

He is one of the leaders of the Hongnong family and a legitimate relative of the Han royal family. How dare Su Yaoan be so rude?

The saying "a good father brings out a good son" is not an exaggeration to describe Liu Song.

His father Liu Kuan studied "Ouyang Shangshu" and "Jingshi Yi" since he was young and was well-versed in various arts. In his early years, he served as the general's official, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the prime minister of Donghai, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the prefect of Nanyang. He was mainly kind and lenient in his administration and was respected as an elder by people all over the country.

Later, he was recruited by Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, to be Taizhong Daifu, and served as a lecturer in Huaguang Palace. He twice served as Taiwei, ranking first among the Three Dukes. He finally held the title of Guanglu Xun, was granted the title of Marquis of Luxiang, was posthumously awarded the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, and was given the posthumous title of "Zhaolie".

Although Liu Song enjoyed the protection of his father, he did not have his father's talents and virtues. He only knew how to enjoy himself on weekdays and rarely cared about family affairs, let alone made any achievements.

The reason for this return storm was that he made the decision on the spur of the moment after having a good chat with Zhang Yan over a drink, without thinking about the consequences at all.

Now, facing this sudden crisis, he was filled with panic and fear, and for a moment he could not come up with any idea.

"How about we just avoid meeting him and say we are not in the mansion?"

"what???"

Liu Song's son, Mr. Liu, who had returned the goods before, was completely stunned when he heard that his father had backed out at the last minute:

"Father, we can't just hide from each other forever, can we?"

Mr. Liu said anxiously:

"I just followed your instructions to return the goods at the market. If the Champion Marquis forcibly breaks in with an excuse, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for us?"

Liu Song's face darkened when he heard this. He knew his son was right. It was not a good idea to keep avoiding him. Since Su Yao had brought his troops to the door, he was obviously well prepared. If they did not come forward to deal with him, it would only make things worse. "Forget it, forget it." Liu Song sighed and said helplessly, "Let's go out and meet him and see what he wants to do."

After saying that, Liu Song straightened his clothes, took his son and several trusted servants, and walked out of the mansion gate with gritted teeth.

Outside the gate, Su Yao rode on his horse, looking at Liu Song and his party with a stern gaze. Behind him, hundreds of cavalrymen lined up in neat formation, looking majestic and ready to attack at any time.

"Your Excellency the Champion Marquis is here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you will forgive me." Liu Song forced himself to remain calm and bowed.

Su Yao smiled slightly, jumped off his horse, and then reached out to help Zhen Jiang get off the horse. Then the two of them walked slowly to Liu Song:
"You are welcome, Marquis Luxiang. I came here today just to talk to Marquis Luxiang about some of the things that happened in Hongnong City recently."

Liu Song's heart tightened. He knew that what Su Yao meant by "chatting" was not that simple. He forced a smile and asked knowingly:
"I wonder what the Champion Marquis is referring to?"

Su Yao sneered:
"Marquis Luxiang, let's not mince words. Regarding the recent boycott of Zhen's company by Hongnong City, what do you think?"

Liu Song's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Su Yao to mention this matter so directly.

He tried to remain calm and said in a doubtful tone:
"Why did the Marquis of Guanjun ask this? There is a boycott of the Zhen family business in Hongnong City? I, I don't know anything about it. Liu has nothing to do with it!"

Su Yao laughed when he heard this, his laughter full of sarcasm:

"Marquis Lu Xiang is really good at shirking responsibility."

"Yesterday, the noble young master made a big show of returning the goods, and everyone in Hongnong City knew about it."

"If you say it's not out of boycott, may I ask, Lord Lu Xiang, do you think there is any quality problem with my product and it's not worth the price?"

Liu Song's face turned pale when he heard this. He didn't expect Su Yao to expose his lies so directly. He hesitated and couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Guanjun Hou has misunderstood. Liu never meant that."

Liu Song forced a smile and tried to explain:
"It's just that Liu's family did have some problems recently and they urgently need money, so... this is the last resort."

Su Yao snorted coldly and stared at Liu Song with a sharp gaze:

"Marquis Lu Xiang, do you think I, Su Yao, am a three-year-old child? Do you think you can get away with this lame excuse?"

Liu Song was intimidated by Su Yao's aura and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Su Yao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Liu Song anymore, so he just said directly:
"Lord Lu Xiang, although I, Su Yao, am not a righteous gentleman, I am definitely not someone who can be manipulated by others."

"Since Hongnong City has surrendered to me, the rules here must be determined by me."

"Zhen's Company was entrusted by me to provide material support for the army to fight against Dong. It is an important force in welcoming the emperor back."

"As a relative of the Han dynasty, Marquis Ru of Luxiang not only did not strongly support me in my struggle for the inheritance, but instead took the lead in obstructing me and plotting against me."

"May I ask Marquis Lu Xiang, what exactly do you want to do? Are you trying to help that thief Dong and plot treason?"

When Liu Song heard this, his face turned pale instantly, his legs trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't stand.

He never expected that he simply refused to buy his things, but how could the Marquis of Guanjun so bluntly characterize his behavior as treason?
"Marquis Guanjun, I am wronged! I never meant that. I just..."

Liu Song defended himself incoherently, but found that he could not find the right words to excuse himself.

Su Yao waved his hand, and Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others immediately led the soldiers to rush forward, pushed away the trembling soldiers, and arrested Liu Song.

This guy scared the hell out of the people in Marquis Lu's mansion.

Young Master Liu fell to his knees in front of Su Yao, hugged his thighs and begged:
"Please spare my life, Marquis Champion! Please have mercy on me!"

"My father was just confused for a moment, he definitely didn't have any intention of treason!"

Seeing that Su Yao ignored him and put a big hat on him, as if he was going to make an example of his family and search and investigate, Master Liu suddenly had an idea in despair:
"It's Zhang Yan!"

"Everything is the work of Zhang Yan!"

"Whether it's boycotting the Zhen family business or trying to use this opportunity to blackmail the prince, it was all Zhang Yan's idea!"

"If there is anyone who wants to rebel, it is that villain Zhang Yan. My family has been blessed by the emperor for generations, and there is absolutely no reason for me to join the villain Dong!"

"Please be vigilant, Champion, and don't let the real thief escape!"

Hearing this, Su Yao raised a faint smile:

"Oh? Master Liu, treason is a serious crime, we can't say such things carelessly."

"You accused Zhang Yan of treason. Do you have any evidence?"

"Is this evidence of Zhang Yan's treason?" Young Master Liu's heart tightened and his temples throbbed.
