Chapter 6

Hu Buwei, after arranging everything, turned to Tang Wenzheng and whispered, "Brother Wenzheng, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, so you don't have to worry." He said he would get to the bottom of it but did not promise to give him an explanation.

Tang Wenzheng inwardly cursed, "What investigation? Everything is right in front of us. How can I not worry? My daughter has been kidnapped by your scoundrel son, and we don't even know how she is now." Thinking of this, a lump rose in his throat, and he said with a mix of sorrow and anger, "Lord Hu, let's hurry back and take a look!" He had to force himself to hold back his anger due to Hu Buwei's high position.

The carriage started again. Hu Buwei had Hu Tianxiong return first to figure out the whole story. If what Tang Wenzheng said was true, he wanted to see if he could stop his foolish son from doing something foolish. Kidnapping a virtuous young lady, and not just any commoner's daughter, but the daughter of a court official, would not be good for the Hu family if it became a big issue. Even if the emperor favored him, the truth was not on their side, and Hu Buwei was very clear about this.

At this moment, the scene at the Shangshu Mansion was already very chaotic. Tang Tihan had originally brought more than twenty people, and his second brother, Tang Ticheng, upon hearing the news, gathered over fifty brothers and friends and rushed over. Although Tang Tihan was the eldest in the family, when it came to courage, the second brother, Tang Ticheng, was the best. After arriving, Tang Ticheng led the group to the back gate and clenched his fist to bang on the door ring.

Tang Tihan said to Tang Ticheng, "Second brother, I've been banging for a long time, but they won't open the door!" The quality of the Shangshu Mansion's main gate was indeed very good.

Tang Ticheng glared at his elder brother angrily. After hearing the news, he was so angry that he cursed, even including his elder brother. Tang Tihan had brought more than twenty people but had just watched Hu Buwei's foolish son kidnap his sister. This was simply stupid, extremely stupid. Tang Ticheng waved his hand and shouted, "Cut down the trees, and break down the gate!" His subordinates immediately went to cut down trees, and some went to find ladders.

Tang Tihan came to his second brother's side and whispered, "Second brother, this is the Shangshu Mansion?"

Tang Ticheng's anger flared up, and he roared, "So what if it's the Shangshu Mansion? If the Heavenly King dares to kidnap my sister, I'll cut him down too..." The three Tang brothers were all hot-tempered, and when they got angry, they didn't recognize their own family. Tang Tihan quickly covered his mouth, afraid that the words would get out.

Tang Ticheng broke free from his grip and roared, "Listen up, if you anger me, I'll burn down your Shangshu Mansion!"

More than ten Hu family servants were gathered at the back gate. Hearing the commotion outside, they were extremely anxious. Liang Dazhuang climbed the ladder and saw that more than a hundred people had gathered outside the back gate, and many were cutting down trees. In the distance, several people were carrying ladders toward them. Liang Dazhuang quickly climbed down and told the surrounding servants, "It's not good, they've brought ladders and cut down trees. They're about to attack."

Hu Fu was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together, "What should we do?" The master was in court, and the lady had just returned to her hometown. Recently, the Shangshu Mansion's affairs were managed by the old steward, Hu An, but he was sick in bed today. As for the troublemaker, he might already be enjoying himself. The entire Shangshu Mansion was leaderless.

While they were discussing, the ladders were already set up on the wall. Liang Dazhuang led several servants up the wall and used their sticks to push back those trying to climb over. Liang Dazhuang and another servant pushed the ladder off the wall, and the two people on the ladder fell with a scream.

Tang Ticheng's eyes blazed with anger. A large tree was cut down, and more than ten people carried it, shouting as they charged toward the back gate of the Shangshu Mansion.

Hu Fu led more than ten servants to block the back gate with various tools.

With a loud bang, the back gate was shaken, and two servants fell to the ground from the impact. Tang Tihan's anger was also ignited by his brother. He took off his shirt, revealing a muscular body, and joined the group, shouting, "Damn it, break it down!"

Liang Dazhuang saw the situation was not good and stumbled down the ladder, looking terrified, "I... I'll go protect the young master..."

The servants looked at him with disdain. "You damn coward, trying to run. Can you find a more shameless reason?"

With another loud bang, the thick and heavy gate could no longer withstand the impact. The door bolt broke, and the door fell, pinning three servants under it. The scene was filled with screams.

Tang Tihan and Tang Ticheng, bare-chested and towering like iron towers, emerged from the dust, looking like divine beings to the servants. Behind them were nearly a hundred fierce and determined brothers, appearing like heavenly soldiers. The two brothers were determined to get justice from the Hu family today!

Although Hu Xiaotian lived in the inner courtyard, he couldn't have missed the commotion outside. He carried Tang Qingxuan back to his room and just placed her on the bed when she woke up.

Among the four Tang children, if it came to temperament and courage, the best was Tang Qingxuan. She opened her eyes and saw that she was tied up like a dumpling, lying on a strange bed, drenched in water. She screamed, but her voice was immediately muffled by Hu Xiaotian's hand. He waved a shiny dagger in front of her and said, "If you scream, I'll cut your face!" It was a threat, a real threat, but he might not have the heart to do it.

The threat was quite effective. Which girl doesn't care about her appearance? Threatening to disfigure her was more effective than killing her. Tang Qingxuan bit her lip, blinked her eyes, and when Hu Xiaotian slowly removed his hand, she dared not scream loudly, but whispered, "What do you want?"

Hu Xiaotian chuckled and sat on the chair opposite the bed, one leg crossed over the armrest. He hadn't had time to put on clothes, and as he crossed his leg, he noticed Tang Qingxuan suddenly closed her eyes, her face turning red, looking shy and charming.

Hu Xiaotian realized he had been running and hadn't had time to change clothes. His unintentional action was quite revealing. He coughed and said, "That's a stupid question. I brought you here, what do you think I want?" He felt he wasn't that despicable, but he couldn't bring himself to say the cruel words he wanted to.

Tang Qingxuan opened her beautiful eyes and glared at Hu Xiaotian, "You want to kidnap me, but let me tell you, my father is a court official, the Deputy Minister of the Jia Bu, Tang Wenzheng. If you dare to be disrespectful to me, my father will report you to the emperor and have your entire family executed!"

Hu Xiaotian looked at her and thought, "You're so vicious. What did I do to you? You want to have my entire family executed? Who tied you up like this? So professional, I've only seen this in Japanese AVs."

Tang Qingxuan, seeing him staring at her, felt a bit panicked. No matter how brave she was, she was still a girl, and now she was tied up like a dumpling, completely helpless.

Hu Xiaotian said, "Is the Deputy Minister of the Jia Bu that important? He's just a horse keeper."

"You..."

Hu Xiaotian was about to deflate Tang Qingxuan's arrogance when he heard Liang Dazhuang panting, "Young master... It's not good... It's not good..."

Hu Xiaotian pulled the dagger from the table, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him. He saw Liang Dazhuang bent over, hands on his thick legs, panting, "They... They... They've broken in..."

Before he could finish, Tang Tihan and Tang Ticheng led nearly a hundred men into the garden, looking fierce.

Liang Dazhuang's face turned pale, and he immediately tried to run, but after a few steps, he remembered his duty. If he ran now, he would have no place in the Hu family after this. Weighing the pros and cons, he pulled out his saber and said with determination, "Y-Young... Young master... You run... I'll cover you..."

Hu Xiaotian looked at him with disdain. His whole body was trembling, and he was about to lose his nerve. How could he talk about protecting him? Hu Xiaotian said, "Do you know what 'hesitant to harm the rat for fear of the vessel' means?"

Liang Dazhuang shook his head.

"Do you know what 'reckless and unscrupulous' means?"

Liang Dazhuang shook his head again.

"Damn! You're so uneducated. We have her, what are you afraid of?" Hu Xiaotian couldn't stand his cowardice and cursed.

Liang Dazhuang, hearing this, straightened his chest, "N-Not... Not afraid! I'm not afraid of anything!" His roar almost burst Hu Xiaotian's eardrums. "Damn, a servant is a servant! Damn, I've spent so much time teaching you."

Hu Xiaotian waved his hand, "Go, bring the girl out, and put a knife to her neck."

Liang Dazhuang nodded and turned to the door, then remembered something, "Young master, is she... dressed?"

Hu Xiaotian found this servant to be quite exceptional. "Damn, you're not smart when you should be, but you think of everything you shouldn't." He chuckled, "Naked, you're in luck!"

Liang Dazhuang swallowed, imagining the girl's smooth skin, but before he could think further, Hu Xiaotian slapped him hard on the head, "Damn, my woman, and you dare to think about her?"
