[Ding-dong. Congratulations on Host triggering an intense anger in Wen Jinming. +100 Emotional Value]

[Ding-dong. Congratulations on Host causing fear to Wei Quan. +200 Emotional Value]

[Ding-dong. Congratulations on Host causing fear to Liu Sheng. +220 Emotional Value]

Hearing the system notification in his head, Su Wen’s lips curled up slightly.

Wen Jinming’s anger did not matter, but Wei Quan and Liu Sheng’s fear was meant a lot to him.

Afraid? It’s good that you’re afraid!

Su Wen looked at the two of them and sneered. “What sort of dogs are you, to dare you scheme against this Daddy? Beat them up!”

The guard responded by stepping forward with the paddle.

Wei Quan and Liu Sheng looked at each other and saw the wavering resolve reflected in each of their eyes.

Wei Quan turned around and knelt on the ground with a plop. He said, “Sir, I will confess. Our gang leader, Sha Qinghe, commanded us to wreck havoc. He said that he wanted to collect protection fees, but the shop owner didn’t cooperate, so we had to go create some trouble.”

Liu Sheng also hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, “That’s right. Lord, please show mercy. We are minions. Whatever the leader says, we must do. This matter has nothing to do with us.”

Su Wen relaxed and looked at Wen Jinming. He asked calmly, “Lord Wen, do you think there is a need for a re-investigation now?”

Wen Jinming was silent. At this moment, Su Wen turned to Sun Wei and said, “Lord Sun, now, you have to bring someone to bring Sha Qinghe back for me. If you can’t bring him back, the blame will be on you. You should know what kind of person I am. If you obstruct me, I will crush you to death with a rock!”

“Yes!” Sun Wei didn’t dare to say anything more and turned to leave. He didn’t even have any intention to delay time by asking Yan Luoying.

“Since Sir has made progress in your case, please take your time. I still have something on, so I’ll take my leave first!”

Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, Wen Jinming wanted to leave.

Su Wen tilted his head to look at him, before replying with a smile, “In that case, do go and handle your business, Lord Wen.”

As Wen Jinming retreated, Yan Luoying frowned and said, “If this guy really has connections with those gang members, I’m afraid he’ll have to deal with the aftermath.”

Su Wen said, “I want him to deal with the aftermath.”

At this moment, Zhao Jin said smugly, “How is it, my lord? Did I perform well today?”

Su Wen smiled and said, “Not too bad. You’re quite domineering.”

Yan Luoying was a little shocked. “You thought of fighting Wen Jinming before you came?”

Zhao Jin laughed, “Of course. My family’s young master is quite clever. What does a mere Wen Jinming count for?”

Su Wen waved his hand, indicating that Zhao Jin should be done. Even though Su Wen was thick-skinned, he still accept so much boot licking. He instructed Zhao Jin, “Brother Jin, follow Wen Jinming. If this guy wants to clean up his mess, he will contact someone and seize the opportunity.”

“Alright!” Zhao Jin left.

Su Wen looked at Yan Luoying and explained, “Ever since you and I came here, Wen Jinming has been the one to speak to us on behalf of the old factions. In the Royal court, he was also the one who wrote a memorial to impeach you. Hence, Wen Jinming is the stubborn representative of this bureau.”

“With so many incidents of public security lapses in the East District, you don’t even need to think about it. It must have something to do with Wen Jinming. He might have wanted to use the chaos in the East District to chase you away, but in order not to give you an excuse to punish the insiders of the patrol office, he had no choice but to bring in the people who caused trouble.”

“To these hooligans, a few days in prison is nothing. After all, they had only gotten into a brawl, nothing too serious.”

“However, while they might not be afraid of you, they will definitely be afraid of me!”

Su Wen smiled and said, “I’m came because I want to be domineering. I want to tell these guys that Wen Jinming cannot protect them, I will still dare to kill them!”

“His Majesty just sent Xue Meng to the northern border. Everyone will think that I’m telling the truth, especially since these people at the bottom of the hierarchy recognize that their lives are worthless.”

“You can say that it’s sad, but you can also say that it’s the helplessness of reality. But it just so happens that they all think that in the eyes of a top-notch evil young master like me, killing them is no different than me killing a dog. That’s why they’re afraid and tell the truth!”

“Once such people are involved, things will be much simpler. These people don’t have any backbone, and they haven’t gotten any benefits yet, plus their crimes aren’t serious. Sooner or later, Wen Jinming will be exposed.”

Yan Luoying heaved a sigh of relief and said, “If Wen Jinming is punished, the Eastern District should be safe.”

Su Wen’s eyes were full of smiles as he looked at her and asked, “And then?”

“And then? And what?”

“Is this what His Majesty wants?”

Su Wen’s words caused Yan Luoying to freeze.

She frowned. “What kind of result does His Majesty want?”

Su Wen said, “The Patrol Guards, it has been more than a day or two since you restrained their benefits. Now that you have cut off their benefits, you can suppress the people in the Guards for a moment. However, can you guarantee that these people will not secretly oppress the commoners to gain benefits for themselves after a long period of time has passed?

Can we ensure that they do not secretly collude with the gangs to oppress the commoners? Such chaotic cases are not difficult to handle. The difficult part is how to maintain peace.”

This was the tricky part. To put it bluntly, these guards might be humble in front of Su Wen, but among the commoners, they behaved like they were their masters. While they were patrolling, they could twist the truth of sampling from your food stall into saying they were giving you face by eating your goods. Who would dare to say anything?

Yan Luoying hesitated. “Then what should I do?”

“Investigate the Patrol Guards! Blow up this entire matter!” Su Wen said firmly. “His Majesty must have already thought of a plan when he asked you to come here. What he wants is for you to create a commotion! If this whole affair snowballs, Wen Jinming will definitely not be able to bear the responsibility alone.”

Yan Luoying thought for a moment and said, “It’s not easy to deal with them, since none of the patrolling guards are clean. If you want to investigate deeply, it will affect everyone’s lives. No matter how powerful and domineering you are, these people won’t cooperate. We can’t just arrest them and punish them. They will definitely impeach you!”

Su Wen said, “Actually, it’s not that complicated. The breakthrough lies with Wen Jinming. What do you think of this person?”

Yan Luoying thought for a moment and said, “It’s a little annoying. His entire mind only thinks about getting more benefits.”

Su Wen shook his head and said, “Don’t you think he’s very stupid? His Majesty was the one who arranged for us to come to the patrol guards, but he tried to create trouble and wanted to push you out because his own benefits were cut off. To put it nicely, this person is blinded by greed. To put it bluntly, he has no brains and no self-awareness.”

At this point, Su Wen ridiculed, “Of course, if he was smart, he wouldn’t have stayed in this position for so many years. However, this person has been in the Patrol Guards for many years and is considered one of the higher-ups. He definitely knows clear every matter in this place. Our simplest solution is to dig out the details of the Patrol Guards’ benefits from him.”

The two of them discussed for a while more before they saw Zhao Jin come in from outside. There were four or five people with him, including Wen Jinming.

He shouted loudly, “Why did you capture me? I was just drinking with my friends and chatting with them. Why did you bring me back like this?”

Zhao Jin walked up to Su Wen and reported in a low voice, “Young Master, after this guy left, he sent his servants to contact these people. They gathered in a bamboo forest to discuss how to give their statements, so I captured them.”

Su Wen looked at this group of people. Within the group was also Du Ping, who was beaten up last time. This fellow’s injuries were still not fully healed as he limped in.
