Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

At the foot of the Capital, the Cai Family naturally did not dare to seize and plunder forcibly, so they used this method to make things difficult for the Dai Family, eventually forcing them to sell their apothecary.

”Take a few people and go to the Cai Family to arrest them.”

No matter that the Patriarch of the Cai Family is a Sixth-Grade Martial Artist; when it comes to the Government Office arresting people, even if you gave him several more guts, he wouldn’t dare resist.

”Sir, arrest them directly?”

The constable beside him was a little surprised; shouldn’t this matter be reported to the superiors first?

Although the Cai Family’s Patriarch is only Sixth Grade, he is just in his fifties and has a high possibility of advancing to First Grade, surely having his own connections in the Capital City.

”Arrest them directly.”

Liu Jun’s expression turned cold; no matter how extensive the Cai Family’s connections were, could they surpass Lord Kong?

What he was curious about, in turn, was how did the Dai Family get involved with Lord Kong?

...

...

The Dai Family Apothecary.

”Miss, people from the Government Office are here.”

Upon hearing the urgent words from the waiter in the store, Dai Yuxi’s complexion changed, while Dai Yuze beside her was even angrier: ”Have they involved the Government Office?”

”Little brother, don’t speak recklessly.”

Dai Yuxi admonished sternly; she didn’t believe that the other side could command the Government Office. If they truly had such ability, why would they be interested in their family’s apothecary?

Pulling back the curtain, Dai Yuxi saw three figures standing in the apothecary. When she saw the middle-aged man at the front, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she quickly spoke: ”Lord Liu, forgive my inadequate welcome at your arrival.”

”Are you Miss Dai?”

Liu Jun also scrutinized Dai Yuxi; her appearance was only average. At first, he thought she might be connected to some noble young lord, but now it seemed he was mistaken.

But this also indicated that the Dai Family was not ordinary.

If Miss Dai were exceedingly beautiful and informed noble youths who had an interest in her, eventually bringing it to Lord Kong, then those connections wouldn’t belong to the Dai Family.

”Yes, I am Dai Yuxi, and this is my brother, Dai Yuze.”

At this moment, Dai Yuxi was also puzzled about Lord Liu’s personal visit.

Lord Liu was the Chief Constable responsible for several streets, often patrolling; hence she recognized him.

”Miss Dai, Young Master Dai, I am here because someone accused your apothecary of selling fraudulent pills...”

”Sir, this is a slander.”

Unable to hold back, Dai Yuze interrupted Liu Jun’s words.

”Little brother, stop.” Dai Yuxi quickly admonished while saying to Liu Jun, ”Lord Liu, please forgive my brother’s lack of manners.”

”I understand your brother’s feelings. If my own family apothecary were slandered, I’d be anxious too. This matter was something our office initially failed to investigate thoroughly, but now I’ve conducted a thorough investigation of those people, and I can confirm that your apothecary was framed. The instigators behind this have already been sent for arrest.”

With these words from Liu Jun, the entire apothecary was silent for a few moments.

”Thank... thank you, Sir, for proving the Dai Family’s innocence.”

After a few moments, Dai Yuxi, her face blushing, spoke excitedly.

...

After a cup of tea’s time, Liu Jun walked out of the apothecary, wearing a smile: ”Miss Dai, there’s no need to see me off. Once I’ve interrogated the Cai Family and obtained their confession, I will bring those who falsely accused you here to clarify.”

Watching Chief Liu leave with two constables, the excitement in Dai Yuxi’s heart finally calmed down, allowing her to think clearly.

”There’s something strange about this.”

”Sister, what’s strange? Could it be Chief Liu is deceiving us?” Dai Yuze muttered aside.

Pop!

Dai Yuxi couldn’t help flicking her brother on the head: ”Chief Liu certainly wouldn’t deceive us. I find it strange why he would want to help us?”

Inexplicably, Dai Yuxi thought of Young Master Lin from Jiangnan Dao, but she immediately shook her head. That Young Master Lin shouldn’t have such capabilities.

”Sister, why are you shaking your head and nodding? Why worry about it? After all, this is a great thing for us.”

Hearing her brother’s words, Dai Yuxi smiled wryly. Her brother was right; no matter the strangeness, it was a good thing for the family, at least resolving the family’s crisis.

”Little brother, go back and share this good news with Father and the uncles, so they don’t worry.”
