Uninvited Guests – Part 2

Chapter 25 – Uninvited Guests – Part 2

Twenty members of Julu county soldiers stood in front of Zhang resident in two line formation. All of them put their right hand on the sword hilt on their waist.

*PON* *PON* *PON*

"We are the messengers of Julu Grand Administrator Guo Dian, Open the door!"

The squad captain shouted while he continued knocking the front gate.

The butler of the resident opened the gate in a hurry to greet them.

"Greeting sirs, may I know what you have come here for?"

"Is there a resident here who is called Hua Shi?"

"Yes, yes. She is our young mistress."

The captain grinned. He came to the right place.

"Where is she now? We have a message for her!"

The butler was troubled. Zhang Jiao and Hua Shi hadn't come home yet. Whenever they went out to perform healing duty requested by the neighbor villages, they would always be away for a week or longer.

Both of them was scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The butler had to make up an excuse.

"…Sir, I'm afraid you can't see her today. She went out with our master and won't be back for today."

"Hah? Who the hell do you think we are!? We are the Grand Administrator Guo Dian's men! We are in a hurry and we want to see her within today! If she isn't here then go get her!"

"S-Sir, s-she went out long ago! W-we don't know where she is right now!"

The butler answered in trembling voice. He was already an elder and he was afraid of the officials.

"Captain, I think he spoke the truth."

One of the soldiers whispered the squad captain. The butler was so scared that his entire body was shaking. He didn't seem to lie about Hua Shi.

Listened to the whispering, the captain glared at the butler and nodded.

"Fine! When will she come back!?"

"S-S-She will be back by tomorrow."

"Good! Come to think of it, your house seems large, isn't it? We are going to rest in your courtyard! Clear the place and scram!"

"B-B-But sir …"

"I SAID CLEAR THIS PLACE AND SCRAM!!"

"H-Hiiiiieee!!"

The butler was helpless. He was too scared and couldn't respond with anything to make a comeback. He was so panicked that he stumbled and fell on his buttock.

The captain and his men barged into Zhang resident. They shamelessly walked into the resident like it was theirs.

"Hold it!"

A voice rang out from inside the resident. Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao's brother, walked out to stop the Julu men.

"Ah!? Who the fudge are you!?" The captain asked.

"That's my question! Who the hell do you think you are!? This is my house! My courtyard! Get the hell out!"

Unlike Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang's main expertise was combat. He was in charge of the security in Zhang resident and also had an army camp of his own.

Because of the constant combats and his army job, his personality became aggressive by nature.

"Get the hell out! Or else!"

*Shing* *Shing* *Shing*

Zhang Liang also had his ten personal guards trailing behind him. All of them drew their weapons, standing by for the order to strike.

"Hah? You wanna fight!?"

*Sheng* *Sheng* *Sheng*

Seeing Zhang Liang's unyielding attitude, the soldier captain ordered his troops to draw out their weapons too.

The situation became tense and turned into a staring contest, a battle could break out at any time.

"Ahem! Umm … Excuse me? Can all of you listen to me please?"

A childish voice came from the front gate, behind the Julu soldiers.

Tong left the camp and rushed here after he received the mission and noticed the arrival of this group.

Tong swept his eyes around and counted all uninvited guest in his resident.

'Twenty men, an easy 20,000 lifespans.'

'Fortunately, that zombie isn't here. The mission this time is easy.'

'But … isn't it too easy? That troll system isn't broken right?'

Tong shook his head in his mind. He stopped thinking or being distracted from what in front of him. Tong had to deal with this first then he would continue his analysis later.

"What are you doing here, brat? Get lost!" One of the uninvited soldiers scolded Tong.

"I'm sorry for the late introduction. I'm Zhang Tong, the eldest son of this household head Zhang Jiao. May I ask who you all might be?"

The 20 men's eyes changed. Half of them had lecherous look on the body of Tong. It seemed that they interested or had a fetish in the body of teenage boys.

The commander of 20 men stared at Tong and comprehended something in his mind. Then he stepped forward and introduced himself.

"I'm the captain of the messenger squad of Julu County. I'm here to visit Hua Shi but I'm told that she isn't here. Is that true?"

"Oh, her? She hasn't come home yet. What do you want to do with her?"

"Our grand administrator want to invite her to be his private physician. He promises that he will raise her and her family status to noble and you all will receive an annual salary from the government. As long as you cooperate with us, we will also reward you with gold."

Tong squinted his eyes. This commander was quite a con artist. If Tong were an ordinary boy or he hadn't received a hint from the system, he might actually believe in it.

The system hinted that Hua Shi had done something stupid and these people came to take her. It wasn't difficult for Tong to guess that her hobby should have been found out.

Though Tong didn't trust her, Hua Shi was still useful. Her medical knowledge and cheat skill were invaluable in this age. There was also a matter in the future where Tong's father would fall ill and died in the year 184. He would not let Hua Shi leave easily.

"I see. Our Hua Shi is indeed precious and she doesn't belong in this rural area like this. I'll cooperate with all of you. Please come inside. Butler Wang, please guide our guests to rest in my courtyard. I'll go prepare food for them myself."

Tong smiled as he gave out his order.

Zhang Liang was furious when he heard it. He was about to shout but he noticed that Tong repeatedly winked at him. It seemed that this little brat had cooked some kind of plot.

"AHAHAHA!! You are quite sensible, young master Zhang. We will be troubling you then."

"Oh right, young master Zhang. I'll have to ask you to accompany us tonight too. Some of us are so tired that they want to have you massaging us … personally."

"AHAHAHAHAHA!!"

The 20 hooligans laughed as they entered Tong's courtyard with the scared butler following behind.

Tong smirked, ignoring the ridicules. He walked by Zhang Liang and whispered.

"Making a commotion here will attract the guards and other officials."

"There was a saying 'If there is no corpse, there is no crime'."

"If they were to suddenly disappear, no one can blame us because they were never here."

"The garden in our backyard lacks fertilizers, we should tend it properly."

"There's a few bowls of anesthetic in my warehouse. A few drops of it is enough to make someone feel numb if you apply it on the wound."

"Do you catch what I'm trying to do?"

Tong winked at his uncle and walked away, following the 20 men.

Zhang Liang's eyes opened wide. He looked at his nephew in admiration. This kid was not bad! He made a new evaluation of his nephew.

Both Tong and Zhang Liang smiled. They went back into the resident, pretending to welcome the guests.

Zhang Bao came home later for a dinner, only to found out that there were uninvited guests, partying in Tong's courtyard.

Before Zhang Bao could make a fuse, he was dragged away by Zhang Liang and told him about the plan.

Zhang Bao's corner of his eyes twitched. His nephew was too good at vicious schemes. Who the blue world taught him or raised him into this kind of person?

In the main hall which was used as a dinner party room, Tong was busy serving wine and food to the guests in person. All servants who were over 30 years of age were chased out by the group and replaced them with teenage servants with the age between 10 and 20s.

During the party, the men molested every servant in the hall including Tong. One of the men grabbed his butt and tried to move his hand around it.

Tong was angry by the action of the homo-pedophile, but he kept his cool. Tong swatted off the lecherous hand of the man and walked away as if he was shy, making the other men laugh.

After a while, Zhang Liang sent a signal from afar to Tong, and a new batch of servants with unique wine jars came in.

Tong grinned. Party time was over.
