Chapter 169 - Too Late To Regret (2/2)

Deng Xiyuan looked at Ou Yangming as he was puzzled. The whole issue was probably stirred up by the young fellow, but even when the governor racked his brain, he could not understand why.

Ou Yangming pondered and said, “I want you to promise that if anything happens to Jiang Jiumei and his close friends in the future, I’ll hold you accountable. I know how to eliminate someone completely too.”

Liang Jinye and his brother gasped at the same time, and they remarked with a bitter smile, “This is unfair…”

“Fair?” Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “When you drove out Jiang Jiumei, did you think about being fair at all?”

Liang Jinye and the other people were lost for words, but they felt unusually dejected.

Honestly, even though Jiang Jiumei’s residence was somewhat valuable, they would not have attached much importance to it. In fact, they knew nothing about the property’s owner being bullied and her residence being forcibly occupied.

At the end of the day, everything was actually the actions of Liang Jiafu, their servant.

However, what he did was beneficial for their clan to a certain level, so even if Liang Jinye and the other people knew, they would not object to it.

Who knew, the small residence ended up causing them endless troubles.

Liang Jinye and his brother could tell how much they regretted when they exchanged glances. “Young fella, are you trying to ask for more?” Deng Xiyuan commented coldly, “How dare you threaten the imperial merchants in front of the governor? Are you really tired of living?”

Ou Yangming chuckled. “Sir Governor, I don’t have the guts to threaten the imperial merchants, I can’t afford to bear that responsibility!”

Deng Xiyuan’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he asked, “What’s your name?”

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrow, but just as he was going to answer him, Chen Dishou spoke, “Governor Deng, he’s the Chen family’s disciple, what do you want to do?”

“No, when did he become the Chen family’s disciple?” Fang Zhaoyang furrowed his eyebrows and said, “He’s the Fang family’s guest, and he’s our chief tributary!”

“Grand Elder Fang, you’re a bit too late, aren’t you?” Ni Xuetian uttered plainly, “Lil’ Ou is already the Ni family’s tributary!”

“Hehe, we’ve checked before we invited Lil’ Ou over, and we know he doesn’t have a clear connection with the Ni family.”

“Oh, we kept it a secret because we considered Lil’ Ou’s safety.”

“Pfft, b*lls.h.i.+t! Ni Xuetian, could you be more shameless than this?” Fang Zhaoyang was mad.

On the other hand, Fang Yihai looked embarra.s.sed. He kept signaling his great ancestor and thought, ‘You’re the Fang family’s Supreme Great Ancestor, please have dignity…’

Deng Xiyuan was struck dumb. He did not think that by threatening Ou Yangming a little, he actually caused three Supreme Great Ancestors to cl.u.s.ter around the young fellow.

In actuality, even if the three great ancestors were not in a clan, they were still powerful individuals who should not be messed with.

Besides, which one of the three clans could be messed with?

Even the Fang family, which was the weakest clan among them, was a rich and influential family in the county.

There was no need to say much about the Ni family because they were a legitimate aristocratic family. The three Supreme Great Ancestors in their clan combined were enough to form a stabilizing force.

As for the Chen family, they were truly an influential family in the capital such that even the Deng family would not be willing to offend them… ‘The three of them are actually fighting to take that young fella under their wings. Who exactly is that fella?’ Deng Xiyuan wondered.

He stared at Ou Yangming with his bright eyes, then his face suddenly changed as though he recalled something. Deng Xiyuan’s facial expression was ever-changing.

Chen Dishou glanced at the two great ancestors coldly, then he turned to ask, “Liang Jinye, do you understand what you need to do?”

Liang Jinye had a ghastly expression on his face. “Yes, sir, I understand.”

Even though he was an imperial merchant, Chen Dishou was a tributary, who was capable of crus.h.i.+ng him to death. Moreover, Liang Jinye really did not have the guts to displease a demon like Ou Yangming!

“Since you understand, go ahead and do it. If you fail to do it, without him having to make a move, I’ll punish you,” Chen Dishou said slowly, then he glanced at Ou Yangming and ordered, “Come with me.”

He flashed and flew away.

Ou Yangming hesitated for a while before he decided to follow the tributary.

Fang Yihai was frightened, but just as he was going to call out to Ou Yangming, Fang Zhaoyang told him, “Forget it, that fella may be merciless when he fights, but he’s a man of his word, so he won’t hurt Tributary Lil’ Ou. Let’s go, we’re dismissed!” Fang Zhaoyang waved his hand.

As he strode away, the other people realized that Ni Xuetian was already nowhere to be found.

Wu Guotu bowed at Deng Xiyuan, then he shouted, “Let’s go!”

Fang Yihai looked around him, then he turned and left. It only took a brief moment for the crowd to disperse.

Deng Xiyuan sighed helplessly. “You… Look out for yourselves.”

When Liang Jinye watched the crowd leave then looked at the injured men and corpses on the floor, he trembled a little. He glared at Liang Jiafu all of a sudden. “Were you the one who tempted Third Young Master Liang to s.n.a.t.c.h someone else’s property?”

Liang Jiafu s.h.i.+vered and howled in grief, “Patriarch, please spare me, I’m innocent!” “So many people have died because of you. How can I spare you?” Liang Jinye sighed and waved his hand slightly to tap Liang Jiafu’s head.

As a result, Liang Jiafu shook and slumped to the ground, and he did not get up after that.
