Chapter 1648 - 1643: Who’s Causing Trouble (First Update)

Yu Dahai stood at the entrance of the inn’s main hall.

His face was as black as charcoal.

Mu Shuangshuang, who followed him in, also had an unpleasant expression.

She casually picked up the bone-cutting knife tossed to the ground and charged forward.

The man at the back was forcibly pulled down by her.

The others reacted, raising axes to fight Mu Shuangshuang. Mu Shuangshuang swung the back of the bone-cutting knife, causing the man holding the axe to scream in pain.

Then, clutching his aching but unbloodied foot, he directly rolled down the stairs.

"Shuangshuang, catch this—"

Yu Dahai, from who knows where, found a hemp rope and tossed it to Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang caught the hemp rope, tossed aside the bone-cutting knife, and looked at the troublemakers with a changed expression.

Mu Shuangshuang threw the hemp rope, lassoed a man’s neck, and dragged him down from the second floor.

At this moment, the leading man shouted: "Kill this damn girl, and I’ll reward you heavily!"

The men charged down.

Yu Dahai also held a tool, but it was a wooden stick!

He directed the inn’s staff: "Everyone grab a wooden stick, knock them on the head! Knock them out and tie them up, remember, don’t kill anyone!"

"Alright!"

With the command, the once beaten and bruised staff rushed to the backyard to fetch tools as if infused with energy.

The men surrounded Mu Shuangshuang, looking fierce and ready to fight.

Mu Shuangshuang wielded the hemp rope like flowing water.

If anyone tried to approach, she’d first give them a lash with the rope.

The rope stung their faces, leaving a burning pain. Some couldn’t hold on, clutching their faces and giving up resistance.

The staff who came later knocked them out with sticks.

Previously, the inn’s staff were caught off guard and without direction.

That’s why they were trampled and humiliated. But now, the owner was back, and the steward returned.

Everyone found their backbone and under the direction of Mu Shuangshuang and Yu Dahai, fought valiantly.

Finally, the last leading man was strung up by Mu Shuangshuang with the hemp rope on the beam, like a dead dog, ready to be slaughtered!

His body was covered in welts from Mu Shuangshuang’s lashes.

Blood strands constantly seeped out.

The man began to wail and plead—

"Please let me go, I know I was wrong, sir... madam... ah... ah..."

With their leader subdued, the others couldn’t muster any resistance.

They all pleaded with Mu Shuangshuang.

"Miss, we... we were just paid to do this!"

"Yes, miss, someone told us to ruin your inn today and paid us ten taels of silver!"

"Miss, we didn’t mean any offense, please let our leader go!"

"Miss, we’re begging you—"

The men, who had been fierce and aggressive, were now begging Mu Shuangshuang.

Their hostile aura was gone, replaced by grievances and pity!

Unfortunately—

"Since you dared to take money to ruin my inn and beat my people, you should’ve thought about the consequences! Do you see this? It’s all your doing!"

Mu Shuangshuang pointed at the wrecked inn.

Also, the slightly destroyed second floor and the badly beaten staff.

"We’ll pay, we’ll compensate, whatever you demand, just let us go..."

The leading man began to sob.

He was beaten the worst, not just beaten but hanged upside down.

His blood flowed as if in reverse.

It was unbearable, truly unbearable!

"Compensate? What can you give? Do you know how much it cost to renovate the first floor of my inn? Do you know my daily income?" Mu Shuangshuang coldly snorted.

"I... I..." The man was dumbfounded by Mu Shuangshuang’s questions.

"You can’t afford it. The only way now is for you and these people to work as laborers for me until the debt is paid, then you can leave!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Laborers?" The man was terrified.

They were supposed to be guardians, how could they do labor?

"Not willing? Fine, I’ll beat you to death today, and you can repay me in the underworld!"

As Mu Shuangshuang said this, she lashed the rope again.

The man trembled with fear.

"Labor, we’ll be laborers, we’ll all do it..."

The dozen men nodded in agreement, afraid of being late and getting beaten!

This job was the most unprofitable they’d ever done.

Ten taels of silver, and they sold themselves!

What a loss—

"Brother Yu, write the indenture contracts, make sure they all sign! Also, find out where they live and who their family members are. Those unwilling to talk, beat to death!" Mu Shuangshuang ordered.

Yu Dahai was puzzled by Mu Shuangshuang’s words but could only comply.

"And you..." Mu Shuangshuang pointed at the man hung from the beam.

"You come with me!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"I..."

Before the man could react, Mu Shuangshuang released the rope.

He fell, eating dirt.

Despite the pain, Mu Shuangshuang pulled up the rope, dragging him close.

"You’re coming with me now—" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Ah..."

The man screamed as he was dragged out of the inn.

Yu Dahai chased after them, asking Mu Shuangshuang: "Shuangshuang, about the inn..."

"Leave the inn to Brother Yu and I’m reassured! Make sure to handle what I instructed, and bind those people in the backyard storeroom. After that, find someone to redo all the first-floor seating.

Make sure to record today’s losses, for tomorrow morning I’ll take the bill to Mrs. Liu for compensation!"

"Mrs. Liu... are you saying she’s the troublemaker?" Yu Dahai was stunned.

He couldn’t believe that Mrs. Liu was responsible for this!

That woman always held a high position in town.

Moreover, with the Xue Family gone, their Liu Family became the wealthiest in town, so why... why trouble the common people running an inn?

Pain flashed in Yu Dahai’s eyes, which Mu Shuangshuang noticed!

Mu Shuangshuang said: "Brother Yu, don’t blame yourself either! That Mu Qingqing clearly timed this carefully!

Previously, I was almost daily at the inn, sometimes calling skilled men to eat and secure the place.

Today is her wedding day, I let my guard down, then the trouble came!

Mu Qingqing picked a day for trouble, and I won’t choose! She ruined my inn, I’ll ruin her wedding, let’s see who suffers more!"

Today she will disrupt the wedding!

Let’s see between Mu Qingqing and her, who’s tougher!

"I’ll go with you!" Hearing about crashing Mu Qingqing’s wedding feast, Yu Dahai instantly got anxious.

He even volunteered for the task.

This gesture moved Mu Shuangshuang greatly!

"Yu, with this beast... we’re enough!" Mu Shuangshuang pointed at the man tied with the rope.
