Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 978 There is a road to heaven, but don’t take it

Wang Guifang looked in the direction of the sound and immediately trembled with anger.

The two constables also noticed Ma Lao Er, who was standing to the side with three or five thugs, speaking rudely to their wives.

He immediately dropped what he was carrying, drew his knife, and walked up to him, saying, "Who are you, daring to be so disrespectful to the lady?"

Ma Lao Er glanced at the gray clothes worn by the two officials and immediately became arrogant.

"Get out of my way, do you know who I am?"

"Oh, such a big mouth. Could it be that you're the city lord's son?"

"Hmph, you've heard of my elder brother, Boss Ma, haven't you!"

"Boss Ma?" Upon hearing this, the two officers immediately revealed a contemptuous smile.

I thought to myself, "Damn it, you've really messed with me this time."

Compared to his master, what is Boss Ma?

Boss Ma and his men knew that the head constable of the western part of the city had hundreds of men under his command.

If it were before, the two brothers would have been somewhat intimidated if this man had brought up Boss Ma, but things are different now.

I am the chief constable's personal bodyguard; how dare you, a nobody, speak so disrespectfully?

Just then, Wang Guifang shouted to the two men, "You two, help me arrest Ma Lao Er, and the master will surely reward you handsomely."

Upon hearing Wang Guifang's words, the officer immediately drew his sword and slashed at Ma Lao Er from behind.

He was knocked to the ground.

Ma Lao Er, clutching his swollen, red face, cried out, "You...you're trying to rebel! I need to see my brother..."

"Go to hell, take him away!"

After saying that, the two constables dragged Ma Lao Er towards the house as if he were a chick.

Seeing this, the two maids picked up the things on the ground and followed Wang Guifang.

Back inside the house, Ma Lao Er was tied to a pillar and a stinky sock belonging to an official was stuffed into his mouth.

Seeing that things were not going well, the thugs who were with Ma Lao Er ran directly towards the west of the city.

The head constable's brother has been arrested! This is outrageous! We must inform the head constable in advance.

At this moment, Chu Chen was inside the yamen, greeting a group of officials.

"Chief Constable, the constable from the west of the city, Boss Ma, is out on official business today and hasn't returned yet. When he comes back, make sure he visits your residence as soon as possible."

After listening, Chu Chen nodded slightly, then gave Wen Bo a wink. Wen Bo immediately understood, turned around and walked out of the yamen, leading a group of men towards the west of the city.

Chu Chen's meaning was clear: he was afraid that if Boss Ma got the news in advance and ran away, it would be difficult to find him again.

Therefore, Chu Chen was somewhat satisfied with Wenbo's quick wit.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Chu Chen led his men back to the house.

Upon entering the house, they saw Ma Lao Er trapped on a pillar.

So he laughed and came to his side, then asked the officer beside him, "What's going on?"

The officer immediately recounted everything that had happened on the street that day to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen burst out laughing upon hearing this, and ripped the stinky sock off Ma Lao Er's mouth: "Haha, Ma Lao Er, you're not going to take the road to heaven, but you're going to squeeze through the gate to hell even if you have to make a hole in it."

"Don't blame me for that!"

After the stinky sock was ripped off Ma Lao Er's mouth, he immediately spat several times on the ground.

Then, glaring at Chu Chen with hatred, he said, "Hmph, do you know who I am? Do you know who my older brother is?"

"Don't think that just because you have a house and can hire a few officials you can do anything to me. When my older brother arrives, I'll make you crawl out of this house on your knees."

"And make amends to me with everything in the house, including Widow Wang."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately slapped him across the face.

"Damn it, you called me Widow Wang?" With a slap, Chu Chen used just a little force, knocking out several of Ma Lao Er's teeth.

"You've got guts, you just wait and see!"

"Snapped!"

With that slap, Chu Chen knocked him unconscious.

Then he turned to the officers and said, "Look, isn't this much better than your stinky socks?"

In the western part of the city, inside the constable's office, Boss Ma was embracing two young women, happily drinking with his subordinates and chatting about other people's wives.

Suddenly, a hoodlum was brought in by the officers.

"Officer... Second Young Master, the Second Young Master has been arrested!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Ma immediately put down his wine glass, turned to the thug, and said, "What did you say? Second Brother has been kidnapped? Who kidnapped him?"

"Officer, are they two constables?"

After hearing this, Boss Ma became even more puzzled. Logically speaking, all the officials in the western part of the city should be officials.

Even most of the officials in Shanba City knew his younger brother.

"Tell me, who is so bold as to arrest the second brother? Could it be someone from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"No, we have brothers with us. They're in a house on the main street, but there are officials guarding it, so the brothers don't dare go in."

After hearing this, Boss Ma immediately stood up, racking his brains but unable to find anyone he had offended.

He knew the other constables in Shanba City well, and even the one in the city lord's mansion wouldn't arrest Ma Lao Er.

Could it be that being summoned to the yamen today means a new official has been appointed?

But he dismissed the thought as soon as it appeared. He knew all too well about the promotion of constables. Even if a new official took office, he would choose from among the constables he knew.

So he said to his men, "Brothers, our Ma Lao Er has been arrested, and it was one of our own who did it."

"Follow me, let's see who has the guts to mess with the people in the west of the city."

"Haha, Officer, don't worry. If anyone arrests Brother Ma, we'll make sure they come out respectfully."

"Yes, Chief Constable, let's go. They've dared to bully us in the west of the city."

A short while later, a group of men rushed out of the constables' office in the west of the city, with swords hanging at their waists.

Led by the thugs, they headed straight for Chu Chen's house.

When pedestrians and vendors on the street saw a group of constables rushing towards them, they all stood aside to avoid them.

They were afraid of offending these adults and getting their arms or legs broken, with no one to reason with them.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the entrance of Chu Chen's residence.

Looking at the house, which didn't even have a plaque on the door, Boss Ma's lips curled into a disdainful smile.

Then he waved his hand at his men, and the officials immediately surrounded the house.

Seeing that the house was already surrounded, Boss Ma gripped his knife in one hand and led two henchmen to the door in a menacing manner.

He kicked open the gate of the house: "Who kidnapped my brother? Get out here!"
