35 Chapter 35: Cause and Effect

Jinzhou City, in front of the teahouse.

Two constables suddenly turned back and walked directly to the arrogant merchant they'd interacted with earlier, "Niu Ben, were you trying to forcefully seize someone else's teahouse just now?"

Niu Ben's expression changed instantly, well aware that something had gone amiss. He hastily replied in a low voice, "Official, I had notified Sheriff Zhao from the County Government Office beforehand. I didn't resort to illicit means. I was merely repossessing what was originally..."

But before Niu Ben could finish speaking, one of the constables drew his knife and used the blunt end to hit Niu Ben's hand.

"I caution you to be careful with your words. Master Liang Jiasheng is a close friend of Sheriff Zheng. Would a friend of Master Jiasheng forcibly seize someone else's property?"

Upon hearing Zheng Wanchun's name from the constable, Niu Ben's face turned pale instantly.

Zheng Wanchun?

He was an untouchable figure!
