Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The woman's eyes flashed with resentment the moment she saw Lü Renjie, and she cursed angrily, "Lü Renjie, may you die a horrible death!"

Lü Renjie smiled slightly: "Guiniang, you should worry about your father first."

"Your father is quite cunning, hiding a beauty like you in his restaurant for so long. Consider yourself lucky today. If you follow this young master, you'll soar to the branches and become a phoenix!"

"If you don't, it doesn't matter. Look at all these people in the room, all here to serve you. Don't you think this young master is good to you?"

Hearing Lü Renjie mention her father, a trace of panic flashed in Guiniang's eyes, but her expression quickly hardened, and she spat a mouthful of saliva onto Lü Renjie's face.

Lü Renjie's face darkened slightly, but he didn't immediately get angry.

He gently dabbed a little saliva with his fingertip, stuck out his tongue to lick it, and then burst into wild laughter: "Good! Good! Everyone, did you see that!"

The salt merchants were also drunk and in a state of excitement.

Seeing Lü Renjie's perverted behavior, they not only didn't find it repulsive but shouted: "Young Master Lü, this little lady is teasing you!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Everyone else, leave! Don't spoil our fun." Lü Renjie waved his hand, dismissing the maids and other servants present.

Now, only the group of salt merchants remained in the hall.

Everyone looked at Guiniang in the center with strange expressions.

The hall was eerily silent, and Guiniang's eyes darted back and forth between them in a panic.

Xie Xian also held his wine glass, his brow furrowed deeply.

He could see the woman's despair.

This was clearly a respectable woman being coerced!

What to do? Collude with Lü Renjie? That was impossible! If he did that, he would have no principles left.

Could he just stand by and watch these bastards do something improper?

Du Lingfeng thought he understood Xie Xian, and from the moment the woman entered the room, he had been watching Xie Xian, afraid that he would do something that would displease Lü Renjie.

Seeing him frowning, he reached out and grabbed his arm, whispering, "Brother Xie, a moment of patience brings calm..."

The fear in Guiniang's heart had reached its peak, and she couldn't even muster the courage to curse.

She turned to run towards the door, even though it was already closed...

As soon as she took a step, Lü Renjie stuck out his leg and tripped her to the ground.

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Then, Lü Renjie grabbed her hair and pulled Guiniang up from the ground. After she stood still, he slapped her hard across the face.

The slap was so hard that blood flowed from her mouth and nose, and she saw stars.

"Bitch! You're the first one who dared to spit on this young master! Today, I'll teach you how to be a woman!" Lü Renjie still had a smile on his face as he pointed to Tao Zhong: "You go first. Give her an incense stick's worth of time to learn how to be obedient. Teach her well, and there will be a big reward!"

Tao Zhong looked at Guiniang, his eyes filled with greedy lust, but he said, "Young Master, whoever goes first will suffer a loss."

"This woman will only submit when she's tired. I think an incense stick's worth of time is too short. Give me half an hour."

Lü Renjie laughed loudly: "You, damn it, half an hour? Do you want this young master to drink with you all night!"

"Alright! You make a good point. No need to go one by one. All of you go together! I want to see what tricks you all have up your sleeves!"

After Lü Renjie finished speaking, he slowly stepped back to the main seat.

Tao Zhong rushed towards Guiniang impatiently.

Guiniang was beautiful, but her expression was not as weak as that of an ordinary woman. Instead, she seemed to have a bit of heroic spirit.

Although she was terrified and panicked, she still had a stubborn expression on her face.

Seeing Tao Zhong approaching, Guiniang took a step back and fell to the ground.

The others also slowly got up and gathered around Guiniang.

A group of drunken people, Tao Zhong approached Guiniang with a lewd expression: "Little lady, give us some face and have a drink with us brothers?"

"No, get away! ...Don't come over!" Guiniang clutched her collar and kept shuffling backward, her voice fierce but weak.

At this time, only Xie Xian and Du Lingfeng were still sitting still.

Xie Xian trembled slightly, his fists clenched tightly as he stared at the helpless Guiniang in the center.

At the same time, he was undergoing a huge test in his heart.

If he stood out, not to mention whether the master's business would succeed, even whether he could leave Haiyuan City alive was a question.

If he didn't stand out? Was he just going to watch these bastards act recklessly in front of him?

Seeing him struggling, Du Lingfeng cried inwardly.

It's over... I didn't expect the young master to be playing so perverted today. If I had known, I really shouldn't have let him come.

At this moment, the four of them went up together, and Guiniang had no choice but to flee in panic.

The four of them were not in a hurry, as if teasing their prey, occasionally blocking Guiniang and taking the opportunity to make some small moves.

"Brother Xie!"

Just as Xie Xian was about to get up, Du Lingfeng quickly pressed him down and said in a low, urgent voice: "A moment of patience brings calm, a step back opens up the sky. Young Master Lü is watching us!"

Lü Renjie watched the chaotic scene below with great interest, his gaze suddenly turning to Xie Xian and Du Lingfeng.

"What are you two doing? Go join them."

Xie Xian ignored him, his attention still on Guiniang.

At this time, she had been caught, and Guiniang screamed miserably, constantly begging for mercy.

But the four of them were already drunk, and they didn't care whether she begged for mercy or not. Guiniang had already cried into a tearful mess, and her voice had gradually become hoarse to the point of being unable to make a sound.

Apart from struggling, there was no other way, but the difference in physical strength between men and women was so great that this struggle became futile.

The alcohol and the indulgence just now had long stripped these people of their moral pretenses.

The slightest bit of decency they had on weekdays was no longer present.

The more intensely Guiniang struggled, the more wildly they laughed!

The four of them surrounded her and began to slowly close in on the center.

Tao Zhong faced Guiniang, constantly saying obscene words, and his actions had already begun to become improper!

"Fuck!"

The string in Xie Xian's heart could no longer be held back.

At this moment, he was also drunk, but unlike desire, there was only anger in his heart, uncontrollable anger!

The wine glass in his hand flew straight towards Tao Zhong's head!

With a crisp "Pa!" sound, the wine glass shattered on his forehead!

This time... he used all his strength!

In an instant, everyone was stunned and slowly looked at Xie Xian, except for Tao Zhong, who was lying on the ground, bleeding from his forehead and wailing.

"Xie Xian... what do you mean by this!"

Lü Renjie's face was grim, and he stood up abruptly, staring straight at Xie Xian. Du Lingfeng was already suffering terribly in his heart and hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Young Master... he's drunk, he's drunk, he can't handle his liquor!"

The anger in his heart dissipated a lot with the shattering of the wine glass, and Xie Xian regained some composure. He reached out to stop Du Lingfeng from speaking and pointed at Tao Zhong and the others: "Young Master! I'm not drunk, they're drunk!"

"Indecent behavior after drinking, insulting women is a serious crime in the Great Jing Law. If today's events spread out, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the Young Master!"

Lü Renjie's face became even more unsightly, and he said gloomily: "Don't you understand the status of my Lü family in Haiyuan City? The Great Jing Law, do you dare use the Great Jing Law to suppress me?"

Xie Xian said calmly: "It's not that I'm using the Great Jing Law to suppress the Young Master, it's just that we work for the Young Master and are away all year round."

"In case someone isn't tight-lipped and spreads rumors outside, that wouldn't be good!"

Lü Renjie looked at Xie Xian thoughtfully.

Suddenly, he walked down the steps to Xie Xian and clapped his hands and laughed:

"Well said! Well said, I'm very happy that you can think of me."

"Insulting women is a serious crime! This matter must be prevented!"

"Since that's the case... why don't we all do it once, so that everyone is an accomplice, and we don't have to worry about anyone going out and gossiping."

"Xie Xian, you have a lot of guts. It's been a long time since anyone dared to be so presumptuous in front of me! This young master appreciates you. You can be the first to taste this dish yourself!"
