Peng Shizhong looked at Qiao Hongyan, who still wore a black veil over her face, but through the veil, one could vaguely see that she was a woman of stunning beauty.

At this moment, the surrounding guests all exclaimed, ”She is Hongyan Qiao!”

”Seeing her today was well worth the trip!”

”Yes, those guys will be so envious when we get back.”

People chattered incessantly, Peng Shizhong frowned slightly and looked around. Given the situation today, it would be quite difficult for him to forcefully take her away. Not to mention the potential consequences of using force, even direct confrontation had little chance of success.

Just when he found himself in a difficult position,

Suddenly, another voice sounded from outside.

”Hongyan Qiao has made her appearance. It seems I have arrived at just the right time, but I wonder if with my presence alone, I would have enough influence to have her released?”

Upon hearing this, two men walked in from outside, both dressed in plain clothes, yet everyone recognized them instantly.

”Holy crap, Zhang Liye and Chief Zhang are here!”

Indeed, the arrivals were none other than the arrest officer from the Twelve Grand Protectors, Zhang Liye, with Wu Hong following behind him.

Chen Jie and Wu Hong exchanged glances, and Wu Hong nodded slightly.

After he had just eradicated that Beggar Sect den, when he saw Chen Jie coming to Yihong House demanding someone, he knew it was going to be a tough situation, he immediately ran back and found his master, Zhang Liye.

Zhang Liye had not planned to come since getting involved in such matters was beneath his dignity, but his one and only disciple had sought his help.

How could he refuse?

Especially when Wu Hong said, ”Master, Jiu Si is my own brother, and Ruirui is my own sister. I can’t ignore this matter. If Master won’t interfere, then I will go alone.”

Zhang Liye found himself without options, and had to come.

Seeing that Zhang Liye had arrived, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Chen Jie with astonishment. This young man seemed to have an incredibly wide network.

In just a short while, two influential figures had appeared!

Even Qiao Hongyan was now seriously sizing up Chen Jie, wondering what sort of background this young man had that influential figures would come out to assist him.

At this moment, Chen Jie truly entered Qiao Hongyan’s eyes.

However, the situation was now somewhat out of control. Zhang Liye’s appearance had upset the balance, causing Qiao Hongyan to frown.

At this time, Peng Shizhong too, was astonished to see Zhang Liye involving himself in such matters, but then, noticing Wu Hong beside him, realized that Wu Hong was indeed brothers in life and death with Chen Jie.

It seemed that his own influence was not too small after all; with Zhang Liye involved, there seemed to be a way forward.

Meanwhile, standing to the side, Feng Xuan and Peng Fu exchanged glances, especially Feng Xuan who was looking seriously at Chen Jie. Previously, he didn’t consider Fifth Brother to have anything special, even regarding him as no threat due to his shallow foundations, but now,

It seemed Fifth Brother was not someone with shallow foundations at all, but rather someone who concealed his depth well. Since when had he been related to Zhang Liye?

Feng Xuan’s gaze turned uncertain,

Shock predominating among his emotions.

And then, on the second floor, the guard said, ”County Lord, Chief Zhang has arrived.”

”Hmm, he actually got involved in this kind of matter!”

Tang Wannian put down the wine cup in his hand, a playful look appearing on his face.

At this moment outside, Zhang Liye said, ”You must be Qiao Hongyan. I have heard much about you but never had the pleasure of meeting!”

Hearing this, Qiao Hongyan bowed and said, ”Chief Zhang is also concerned with today’s affairs?”

Zhang Liye laughed and said, ”Indeed, my disciple and Jiu Si are brothers, bound by life and death. Now that my disciple has come to me, I have no choice but to ask, so please, miss, do me a favor and release the person.”

Qiao Hongyan said, ”Chief Zhang, this is against the rules!”

Zhang Liye said, ”What rules?”

Qiao Hongyan said, ”Selling prostitutes is permitted by our court’s laws, and the girls have sell-yourself agreements with Yihong House, which are protected by law. Chief Zhang, as a law enforcer, should be protecting Yihong House, how can you help them come here and demand people?”

Zhang Liye, listening to her words, said, ”Hmm, you’re right, but today I am off duty, not Chief Zhang, just an ordinary old man, Zhang Liye. Now my disciple’s sister has been brought to you, and I have come here to discuss with you.”

Qiao Hongyan squinted her eyes and said, ”If I report to the government now, claiming someone came here to snatch a person, I wonder if the government would take up the case?”

”It will, but before that, we’re taking the person.”

”I wonder if you would grant this old man a favor?”

”And me as well.”

Peng Shizhong also spoke up, Qiao Hongyan clenched her fists, but soon relaxed them, her face turning to a smile as she said, ”Lord Tang, someone has come to disturb your establishment, aren’t you going to take a look?”

Lord Tang!

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

County Magistrate Tang Wannian.

Just then, the window of a private room on the second floor opened directly, the guard standing at the window said, ”Gentlemen, the Lord says that today’s matter is not something for the government’s people to intervene in.”

Hmm?

Everyone looked up, Zhang Liye narrowed his eyes.

And the guard at this moment emphasized, ”Chief Zhang, the Lord says, matters of the Jianghu should be settled by Jianghu people, we don’t intervene! Just watch, just watch.”

Hearing this, Zhang Liye sighed, Yihong House was indeed formidable.

He was left with no options, he couldn’t strike. As long as he was within the court’s system, there were certain things he had to abide by, such as following the directives of superiors.

Although he had a degree of autonomy, he couldn’t entirely disregard his superiors, otherwise, they would create obstacles for him everywhere.
