Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin looked at Jiang Fan with a puzzled expression: "The underworld? What's that?"

"It's... a term used to describe gangsters, outlaws, or something like that..."

"Oh dear, if you put it that way, then Uncle Cheng knows it all too well, not just knows it, but is quite an expert on it."

Because Cheng Shibo is... that guy you mentioned who came from a triad background.

But these petty thieves in front of him have absolutely no connection to the underworld.

What kind of gangsters brandish knives and bully weak women? Isn't that a disgrace to our underworld?

Cheng Yaojin spoke very loudly, and the men who had chased after him couldn't help but hear him.

In particular, Cheng Yaojin's later statement that he was just a petty thief infuriated the group.

He raised his knife and pointed it at Cheng Yaojin's chest: "Old man, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you? Do you think you're so tough?"

Seeing this, Jiang Fan was about to warn Cheng Yaojin to be careful when Cheng Yaojin grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Kid, how do you know I'm a good fighter? Have you ever taken a beating from me?"

"Bullshit, you're asking for it!"

Cheng Yaojin's words directly provoked the other party's ferocity, and he thrust his knife towards Cheng Yaojin's chest.

Cheng Yaojin neither dodged nor avoided the scene, displaying a leisurely and detached attitude as he watched the spectacle.

"Click—"

The moment the knife pierced Cheng Yaojin's chest, Cheng Yaojin grabbed the hand holding the knife.

It couldn't penetrate even an inch further, and Cheng Yaojin was looking at the person in front of him as if he were a fool:

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant, daring to draw your knife in front of me!"

"It hurts!"

"what!"

With a slight exertion, Chen Yaojin's bone fractured instantly, and his screams echoed through the sky.

The other person holding the knife was also quite frightened; his hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

However, in order to complete the mission, he had no choice but to muster his strength and attack Cheng Yaojin.

However, before he could even touch Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong kicked him away.

While the person was flying through the air, the knife in their hand had already slipped from their grasp and fallen to the ground.

After kicking the man away, Yuchi Gong looked at him with disdain and contempt:

"He can't even kill someone properly, yet he tries to act like a gangster. Disgraceful, utterly shameful!"

Immediately afterwards, Yuchi Gong walked towards the remaining four people who were still in a daze...

In the blink of an eye, all four men were knocked to the ground by Yuchi Gong, clutching their stomachs and rolling around in pain.

The commotion quickly alerted the patrolling constables, who rushed over with torches in hand.

Just as he was about to reprimand her, he saw the figure and immediately jumped in fright.

"Greetings to the Duke of Lu, the Duke of E, the Duke of Wei, and the Duke of Lu..."

Anyone serving in Chang'an would recognize these dukes of the Tang Dynasty.

They were all shrewd people, so when they recognized Cheng Yaojin, the constables bowed first.

Being overly polite is never a bad thing; if you lack manners, then that's your fault.

Cheng Yaojin slightly raised his hand: "No need for formalities, these five thieves..."

"You committed murder in the street and even assassinated the daughter of the Prime Minister. You should know what to do, right?"

"Huh? An assassination attempt... on the daughter of the Prime Minister? How dare they do that?"

The constables were stunned, their heads spinning, their faces filled with disbelief.

In Chang'an, to assassinate the beloved daughter of the Prime Minister? How crazy must that person be?

How could they dare to do something like this? Is it because their family genealogy can't hold so many people? Is that why they assassinated the daughter of the Prime Minister just to play a game of Candy Crush?

Soon, the five thieves who had been taken down by Yuchi Gong were bound hand and foot by the constables and taken away.

Interrogating the mastermind behind the scenes is handled by designated personnel. As a constable, kidnapping the person is considered completing the task.

Before leaving, he bowed once more to Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing, and the others before slowly departing.

At this moment, Fang Furong, the seriously injured young lady of the Fang family, slowly woke up, but her face was very pale.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Jiang Fan's handsome face, which was focused intently on my... legs.

A sudden panic gripped her, and just as she was about to struggle, a piercing pain shot through her leg, aggravating the wound and causing it to bleed even more.

Jiang Fan quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't move! I'm stopping your bleeding and bandaging you. If you don't cooperate, you might go into shock from blood loss!"

Fang Furong was stunned after hearing Jiang Fan's words: "You...I..."

Cheng Yaojin came closer, smiling and comforting her: "Young lady Fang, don't be afraid."

The young master is a miracle doctor; with him in charge, he'll definitely keep you safe and sound!

"Uncle Cheng? You... what are you doing here?"

"What? Can't Uncle Cheng be here? You little brat, don't you welcome Uncle Cheng?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I was just... curious. I didn't mean to say I didn't welcome Uncle Cheng. Please don't misunderstand, Uncle Cheng!"

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand with a smile and said, "Uncle was just teasing you. By the way, Fang girl, why were those people chasing you? What happened?"

Fang Furong pondered for a moment, then slowly began to speak: "Today, my maid and I went to the market to buy some cosmetics. On our way back, we saw some street performers, so we stopped to watch for a while. When everyone was giving the performers tips, these five people directly tried to snatch the money. I couldn't stand it, so I publicly rebuked their shameless behavior. These scoundrels not only didn't stop, but after giving the performers tips, they attacked me directly. My maid thought she was protecting me and died at their hands..."

After she finished speaking, tears welled up in Fang Furong's eyes and streamed down her face. She was deeply saddened.

By this time, Jiang Fan had already stopped Fang Furong's bleeding and bandaged her wound.

Hearing what she just said, Jiang Fan was taken aback and looked at Fang Furong, asking, "Just because of this, they're hunting you down?"

Fang Furong nodded, then shook her head: "Not entirely."

They...they still want...they still want to defile me.

That's why they didn't kill me outright, which gave me the chance to escape here and then run into you all!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan immediately cursed, "Damn it, you beast!"

"To think that you could try to abduct a woman in broad daylight! Uncle Cheng, is the security in Chang'an really that bad?"

Cheng Yaojin's lips twitched involuntarily a few times as he explained, "It can't be said to be too bad, can it? At least there wasn't much of a disturbance."

However, it didn't reach the point where doors were left unlocked at night and lost items were left unattended; otherwise...

There won't be a curfew anymore. People are all a mix of good and bad.

Like those thieves tonight, they were the black sheep of the group, and they deserved to die!

Li Jing walked over at this moment and asked Fang Furong, "Fang girl, do you know who they are?"
