Chapter 16: DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF
[Things are gore down below. So, you have been warned]
One man had a screw smashed in his palm
One man had his all 5 fingers cut
One man had his private thing cut
One man had his teeth pulled out
And the last man had his eyes popped out
It was just a horror inside the room which made even Xu Hai, a person who has a job to kill people, feel weird
The screams of those 5 men made every single person that heard it know that there is something that they should fear more than death
And finally, all those 5 men were cut into pieces by Hao Jiazhi, and those bodies were thrown here and there
"Greed is good, but forgetting what your work is really bad. After all, if there is work… you have money to buy things
Surely, you are feeling bad which is ok as even you want to earn money and you can't live your whole life on just 100 ban liang, still…
You should not betray those hands that feed you" Hao Jiazhi said as he cleaned his hands which are stained with blood
"Still, I can understand your reason for being greedy
So how about this, if you ever have a fight and win that fight then you will be paid 1000 ban liang, and if you lose, you won't have any punishment
How about it?
Don't worry, you won't lose your 100 ban liang per month. This 1000 ban liang is paid when you have to do some real shit
Good, right?" Hao Jiazhi asked all men's
This made every person working under him, see him in a new light but they don't know the truth behind it
Hao Jiazhi is looking at the big picture and they all are just looking at the small pictures
Also, Hao Jiazhi told '5 leaders' that he will give them bonuses of 5000 ban liang every time a fight occurs
It was a too good to be true deal, and as expected everyone accepted the deal
And then, Hao Jiazhi takes his leave
Mao Xue looked at Xu Hai and Zheng Zhen, he said "This is the reason why I am scared of him…"
He was pointing at the scene that happened few minutes before inside the room
Xu Hai and Zheng Heng nodded to Mao Xue as they understood the real nature of Hao Jiazhi. It is just evil, someone who just enjoys hearing screams of his enemy
Back to the Mc's house-
Want to know what Hao Jiazhi wanted from that offer?
Simple, loyalty and fear
At first, he let everyone see that he is a tyrant that is not afraid of killing or rather torturing his enemy to the extreme
He lets them see and feels just what type of boss they have and what could happen to them if they try to betray him
But, by giving them bonuses whenever the fight occurred, he showed them that he has a gentle heart also
He showed them that those who stay loyal to him will earn luxury and various rewards, but those who betray him…
He is just playing with their brain, tempting them with their greed and also putting fear in their heart.
And the end result is that their mind (5 shadows) will choose the easy way and try to be loyal to him as much as possible
"Time to take a very good sleep" Hao Jiazhi said with a smile and lays down on his bed
He is really tired as he took a ride of 10 hours from her to Jinyi and then back home. So he is dead tired right now
Midnight time-
"My Lord, please wake up… It's an emergency" Han Yachun said as she is trying her best to wake Hao Jiazhi
"What is it?" Hao Jiazhi asked while half sleeping
"A few criminals are creating havoc in the city" Han Yachun replied
"So what? It is that law officer's job to keep things down. Go, complaint it to officers. Let me sleep" Hao Jiazhi said in an angry tone
"Those criminals are destroying private properties in the city, including you taverns" Han Yachun replied hurriedly
*eyes open*
In a blink, Hao Jiazhi stood up and wore his robe over his nightdress
"Motherfuckers!!! They dare to put their hands on my money!!!!" Hao Jiazhi said in an angry tone as he ran straight towards his property with his 2 bodyguards (Xiao Cai and Wang Liang)
Nighttime in the city capital city (Huangyi) of province Jinmen-
"Ahhh… my shop!!!"
"help!!!"
"Hey, you!!!"
It's a total mess right now as officers are moving here and there trying to capture criminals who are creating havoc and on the other hand, people are just crying as they try to put fires off on their shop
Among them is a man, in a white hanfu dress which has silver lines/embroidery in it, who has few guards by his side, and with his guards, he is trying to calm things down in the area
He is Lu Long, 2nd prince of Kingdom Dongping
He is here to explore the city in a disguise but it's no more useful as he had already told the officers around the place while helping them
Lu Long tried to calm things down as he captures one after another criminal.
As he was capturing criminals, he saw someone putting fire to a tavern (off-course it's a criminal)
"Hey, you! STOP!!!" Lu Long shouted to that man and tried to stop him as he ran straight towards him but he stops as he hears someone's voice
"MOTHERFUCKER!!!! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!" Hao Jiazhi shouts as he looks at the man who had put fire to his tavern
He is on his foot
He is so angry right now that even Lu Long gets scared a little bit
The criminal gives a wild smile to Hao Jiazhi as he takes the fire stick in his hand and launches himself at Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi evades his attack and takes his sword out
*splash*
And cuts the head of the criminal off from his body
Soon, many more criminals get into the scene and try to attack Hao Jiazhi but from the other side, his 2 bodyguards also came into the scene
Hao Jiazhi looks at the burning tavern; sorry, it was not the tavern that is burning right now… it is his money
His anger is now uncontrollable
"AAAAAAA" Hao Jiazhi shouts in anger and then grabs a criminal that was captured by his guards and threw him into the fire
One after another, he grabs the criminal around the place and threw them all into the fire, after all, whats burned is burned
He can't get it back but at least he could calm his anger this way
"AAAAHHH!!!"
"HELP!!!"
People burning in fire screamed for help and tried dot get out but Hao Jiazhi pushed them in again and also brought oil to make sure no one gets out alive
"DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF!!!!!" Hao Jiazhi screams as he throws oil on them (criminals)
On the other side, Lu Long is petrified on his spot as he looks at the scene
The man in front of him was just a ruthless animal that would surely eat him if he gets in front of him
. . .

Race to the
Throne
Chapter 17: For better tomorrow
The criminals have been captured and so does the disguise of Lu Long is exposed
The governor (Mo Xinyi) of this province, Jinmen, showed himself in front of Lu Long and took him to his government office to keep him safe
After all, things are not so good looking right now
In the government office of Governor-
Mo Xinyi showed respect towards Lu Long, he is the prince of a big kingdom so for sure he will show some respect and asked him the reason for his journey over here
"it's nothing, you can be all calm, Governor Mo Xinyi
I was here just to roam around and nothing else, don't worry I didn't receive any type of harsh welcome for locals" Lu Long said to him
This made Mo Xinyi feel good as he doesn't want his royal guest to receive any type of damage or misbehavior from other's which could lead to some international or his head will be cut from his body
He felt good after hearing that he is not mad, especially about the last night incident
"Then, when are you leaving?" Mo Xinyi asked
Lu Long smiled and asked "Why? Am I not invited to your province?"
"Hahahaa, there is no way Prince Lu Long
It is just that I wanted to create some good banquet for your arrival and right now things are not so good. So I thought that I may not be able to provide you some proper reception" Mo Xinyi said to Lu Long as he tried to make him leave the place
He doesn't want to show him how he handles things here, as the escape of criminals clearly shows just how bad his governing is
Something Lu Long may mistakenly speak up if he ever meets the emperor, to be true this Lu Long doesn't seem to be what he actually looks like.
So he(Mo Xinyi) just wants to be safe
Lu Long understood these tactics and what Mo Xinyi wanted to say but still, he acted as if he is an idiot and said "Don't worry Governor Mo Xinyi, I won't bother you in your work and just sit there silently as I watch how greatly you will handle this matter
Don't worry, I will just sit and enjoy *cough* I mean watch the situation and learn things from you"
At this, Mo Xinyi didn't say anything as he can't say anything
He just smiled and nodded and then left the place to handle the matters outside
*noise-noise*
Outside the government office, a big crow is standing and shouting at the officials that should have taken care of criminals
It's clear that locals are angry but still, Mo Xinyi tried to calm the crowd
Took some time, but still, he managed to handle things normally as he said "I need a few days of time to properly investigate and also calculate just how much of damage is being done"
People were not so happy but what can they do?
They just left the place empty-handed
3days later-
Lu Long is just moving around the city as he looks at burned down shops and other properties
"My Lord, I don't think Governor Mo Xinyi could handle this matter. He is just a corrupt person who only thinks about himself" A guard at the side of Lu Long said to him
Lu Long smiled and said "It's a normal thing. Everyone is corrupt in this world, including us also
*smile*
Let's see how things go on"
With his guards, he just walked through the road
Suddenly he saw a crowd gathering in a place.
"What is going on?" Lu Long asked
"I'll take a look" the guard said and then went among the crowd to know what is going on one
He came back after some time and told what was going on, and when Lu Long heard what is going on with this crowd gathering
He was shocked
"Just who is this rich person?" Lu Long asked his guards and then went inside the crowd to look at the person
What did he hear from his guard?
He heard that there is someone who is going to pay all merchants and other people for all the damage that has been done, and that too at a very low interest
And this is really shocking as this is the best time, for many businessmen, to earn a lot with high interest
But, who knew that a big surprise is waiting for Lu Long in the middle of the crowd
The moment he reaches the center of the crowd, Lu Long is shocked to the core as he saw the same person who he saw just a few days ago during the chaotic time
Yes, it is Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi stood in the middle of the crowd with his 2 guards and his attendant, Han Yachun with various servants
And it's his side is various large boxes
In the front of Hao Jiazhi is a man with ink, brush, and paper, writing something and giving it to the people
"I really never understand these people who try to hurt someone or damage their livelihood" Hao Jiazhi said in a calm/sad tone
"When I was moving around the street that night, my heart trembled when I saw those criminals burning down those shops and homes, with my calm nature and respectful tone I tried to stop them, I tried to persuade them but nothing happened
They didn't listen to my gentle words" Hao Jiazhi said in a sad tone
'What GENTLE Words??? You were not even once gentlemen at that time!!!!' Lu Long said/screamed in his heart as he heard his words
"I tried my best but still nothing happened.
I knew that I can't win with words and fighting was not my thing. So I tried to put the fire off but the flames put by those criminals were so hot that my hands got burned" Hao Jiazhi said to the crowd and showed his burned hand
'THE FUCK, ARE YOU SAYING????
Your hands burned when you were throwing oil on those criminals and trying to make sure they die' Lu Long screamed in his heart as he continued to hear Hao Jiazhi
"So, I Hao Jiazhi will help you all in setting up your home
Your Livelihood
Your business one more time" Hao Jiazhi said as he ends his speech
*clap*
*Praising Hao Jiazhi*
'Yes, sign the contract with me and give me your money… HAHAHAHAA' Hao Jiazhi laughed out loud in his heart
