Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: Hit, Hit for Me Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: Hit, Hit for Me He slammed the table.

Master Wu was enraged.

“Gu Ya, don’t be too arrogant!” Master Wu gnashed his teeth, almost wishing he could devour Gu Ya’s flesh and skin him alive.

Was it just because he had the backing of Prince Qi Residence?

He was still wet behind the ears!

And yet this Gu dared to be presumptuous in front of him?

Gu Ya remained expressionless, with an underlying message, “Master Wu, speaking of arrogance, I am no match for your talents.” Master Wu had brazenly taken people to threaten Su Ningxiu and Wang Meng in broad daylight.

That was true arrogance.

Master Wu was not foolish, and he understood Gu Ya’s implication. Gu Ya was indirectly accusing him of being the truly arrogant one.

Master Wu suppressed his anger and sneered, “Gu Ya, do you think just because Prince Qi Residence supports you, you can disregard everyone?”

Even if Prince Qi Residence had dealings with Gu Ya and his wife, so what? Master Wu was unaware that Su Yunjin had saved the lives of Prince Qi Residence’s Lady Ruixi and her sons several times, thinking that Gu Ya and Su Yunjin were merely favored by Prince Qi Residence because they made good fruit wine.

To Master Wu, how esteemed was Prince Qi Residence? Gu Ya and Su Yunjin’s low status meant their relationship with Prince Qi Residence couldn’t be that good!

At most, they were just a dog of Prince Qi Residence.

That was why Master Wu did not take Gu Ya and Su Yunjin seriously. Gu Ya had seen right through what Master Wu was thinking.

“Master Wu, in Donglin, murdering and arson are serious crimes. Master Wu, if you do not cease, I have already reported this to the Governor’s Office. Soon, the Magistrate will see that the evidence of people and things is complete. Master Wu, you setting fire to burn shops and houses will at least get you imprisoned for ten to eight years.”

Gu Ya was right; in Donglin, murder and arson were indeed serious crimes, which was why Master Wu only intended to coerce Wang Meng and his wife to confess to false accusations, without truly planning to burn down their shop.

Master Wu darkened his face and said nothing.

Gu Ya suddenly seemed to recall something else. “Oh, right, you’ve heard about the two men who burned down our Zuixiang Restaurant last time, haven’t you?” At that time, the arsonists Fan Wu and Liu Kui were both sent to the frontier by the Magistrate. “Master Wu, if you also wish to be dispatched to the frontier, then just let your men go ahead and set fire to my brother-in-law’s shop and house. Then, the frontier will be your retirement place.”

The more Gu Ya spoke, the darker Master Wu’s face became.

Eventually, it was so dark that it seemed water could be wrung from it.

With that said, Gu Ya didn’t need to say more.

“Alright, I’ve said my piece, Master Wu. You’re a wise man. Surely you do not need me to teach you how to choose?”

Gu Ya was about to walk away when an incensed Master Wu threatened with a face full of menace, “Gu Ya, do you think Wu Residence is a teahouse or a tavern? Come and go as you please?” Gu Ya’s disrespect today made it difficult for Master Wu to swallow his pride, determined to teach Gu Ya a harsh lesson.

Only then would Master Wu be content.

Gu Ya stopped in his tracks, and at a glance from Master Wu, Wu Residence’s house servants immediately surrounded Gu Ya, upon Master Wu’s order.

His voice was shrill and exhausted.

“Beat him, beat him fiercely for me. All of you, together, beat this man in front of me relentlessly, and don’t stop until I say so.”

Murder required a life in return.

They couldn’t kill Gu Ya.

But beating him half to death was fine.

Master Wu malevolently wanted to beat Gu Ya half to death.

Out of a deep-seated grudge.
