Chapter 1532: Forcefully Entering the Mei Family Residence
A moment later, Mei Zhao's roar echoed from inside the room.
It's really quite difficult for him. He's over forty years old and holds a high position, so how good can his health be?
Chu Chen led Gou Shengzi and eight other people, all of whom were dressed in long robes, concealing their guns and weapons beneath their clothing.
They were strolling along, taking in the sights, towards the Mei family's residence.
Shortly after Chu Chen and his group set off, a personal guard of Dong Shilan, led by Dong Shilan and Lu Feng, headed straight for the Mei family. Although they were all dressed in standard uniforms, their numbers were small, only about a hundred people, and they did not attract much attention.
Actually, that's not the case. As early as last night, all the vendors next to the Mei family's house changed their appearance.
Chu Chen led the group to the outside of the Mei family mansion and found a noodle stall to sit down: "Everyone, eat your fill, and eat well. Today, your master will help you vent your anger."
After a hearty meal, Chu Chen stood up, tossed a silver ingot to the stall owner, and then led the nine men toward the Mei family's mansion.
At the entrance of the Mei family mansion, two guards saw Chu Chen and his ten men charging towards them menacingly, each carrying a knife. They immediately drew their swords and pointed them at Chu Chen, saying, "Who are you? Do you know where you are? Get out of here..."
Chu Chen grinned after hearing this, then slowly drew his fine steel longsword. He took a quick step forward and, before the guard could react, slashed the guard directly in the chest.
They opened a large hole in his chest cavity.
In an instant, even the beating heart was clearly visible to everyone.
The guard let out a terrible scream before collapsing to the ground.
The other person saw that Chu Chen was so brave, completely disregarding the Mei family and openly coming to cause trouble.
It seemed that the Mei family's status and position couldn't be intimidated, so he immediately turned around and ran inside.
Chu Chen grinned and led Gou Shengzi and the others over the corpse, stepping into the Mei family's house.
At this moment, many servants and guards in the Mei family mansion were looking at the newcomer with disbelief.
But the next moment, more than twenty guards rushed out and surrounded Chu Chen and his group. It seemed that the person from before had gone to deliver the message.
Inside Mei Zhao's room, he was still roaring, his head covered in sweat.
However, the next moment, an untimely voice interrupted his spellcasting: "Master, something terrible has happened! Master, thieves have broken in."
Mei Zhao was worried that her Transformer wouldn't transform no matter what she did when she heard the shouts outside, and an inexplicable anger welled up in her heart.
He slapped the concubine off him, pulled up his pants, and kicked open the door.
"Call me back, call me back, call me back to my soul!"
"You damned lowly slave, believe me or not I'll have you beaten to death right now."
When the guard saw Mei Zhao cursing while pulling up his pants, he knew that he had interrupted his master's good time in his panic.
But things are serious outside, and that person clearly possesses martial arts skills, which is why he was able to kill his companion so easily.
He immediately knelt before Mei Zhao and said, "Master, something terrible has happened! A group of thieves came and killed Liu Zi."
After hearing what the servant said, Mei Zhao put down the leg that she had raised to kick him.
The guard who was watching over the gate was killed?
Who has the audacity to commit murder directly in the capital, and even in their own Mei family home?
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know, sir. It was a young man with nine burly men behind him."
"They all carry knives and will kill each other at the slightest provocation, and... and they look like martial arts masters."
Mei Zhao's brow twitched upon hearing this. He thought to himself that anyone who could openly break in must either be a powerful figure with connections to the highest levels of society or a desperate criminal.
When have we ever offended someone like that?
"Quickly, go and call ten men. We have over three hundred guards in this house. They'll be trampled to death by me. Also, send someone to inform the Prefect of the Capital that we've encountered bandits and to order them to come and suppress them immediately."
After giving his instructions, Mei Zhao didn't dare to linger. He immediately beckoned to a dozen guards to protect him as he headed towards the outer courtyard.
But in his heart he was wondering, where had he offended the bandits?
Could it be my son? Could it be Chu Chen?
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat. He thought that if Chu Chen really came to his door, then he would definitely not let him leave alive today.
If His Majesty finds out what they've done, the Mei family won't be able to withstand his wrath.
So he strode to the front yard, and as soon as he arrived, he saw forty or fifty of his own people surrounding about ten others.
So, under the protection of the guards, he pushed his way through the crowd and carefully examined Chu Chen.
Realizing he didn't recognize them, he asked, "Heroes, I don't think my Mei family has offended you."
Chu Chen looked up and saw the pot-bellied man in front of him, so he asked, "Who are you?"
Mei Zhao laughed loudly after hearing this: "Hahaha, you don't even know me, yet you dare to come to my Mei family to kill people. You have quite the nerve."
"Since you're here, why not stay?"
After saying that, Mei Zhao prepared to turn around and leave, because if the other person didn't even recognize her, then it was probably because her son had offended someone outside.
So what if we offend them? I have three hundred guards; why should I be afraid of these mere ten?
Seeing that he was about to leave, Chu Chen immediately shouted at him, "Go back if you want, and tell Mei Zhao to come see me."
Upon hearing this young man mention his name, Mei Zhao immediately became interested.
"Boy, you don't even recognize me, so why do you know my name?"
After listening, Chu Chen gave him a deep look and asked, "You are Mei Zhao?"
"Hahaha, it must be my son who offended you, but he can't see anyone these days, so you can't find him to take revenge."
"But since you've already come all this way, the Mei family isn't one to be impolite, so please stay."
After saying that, Mei Zhao waved to the guards beside him: "Go, kill them all, so that people won't laugh at us."
Chu Chen's eyes flashed, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, the Mei family is indeed no good."
If that's the case, then don't blame yourself for unleashing your ultimate move.
He immediately drew a pistol: "Mei Zhao, you are Minister of Revenue of my Song Dynasty, Lord Mei. Doesn't Lord Mei want to know my name?"
Since Chu Chen's appointment as Imperial Preceptor had not yet been announced to the world, Mei Zhao had never actually met Chu Chen.
Mei Zhao looked at Chu Chen with some impatience: "Someone who has been bullied by my Mei family is not worthy of letting me know his name."
"Oh, Lord Mei, have you heard of Chu Chen?"
