Chapter 9: A Righteous Man? Scumbag?

With a character like Sun Shaozong existing, wasn’t it easy for the guards to win the battle?

In about half an hour, all the assassins died and lost their resistance.

According to the headcount after the battle, about 26 assassins joined in the battle one after another, which is far more than the number of assassins who escaped from the Ruan mansion. It was thought that more than half of them were responsible for covering and coordinating with others.

Among them, five people were killed on the spot including the gatekeeper, and seventeen people were injured and captured, though more than half of them were defeated by Sun Shaozong. but only four people gave up resistance and surrendered directly. This shows that these people were bloody and fierce. If they did not encounter Sun Shaozong, it was unknown which side would win or lose.

It was said that after the assassins were caught, Sun Shaozong saw that the guards were just cheering there, but no one came forward to take care of the affairs. He had to wipe the bloodstains from his saber. He said in a loud voice, "Feng Xin, you take two people to guard the gate. No matter whether it is an official or an assassin, all are not allowed to go in or out!"

"Yes, My Lord!"

With this half-a-day effort, Sun Shaozong has established supreme authority. How dare Feng Xin neglect him as he did before?

With a hurried and respectful reply, he ordered two familiar brothers and hurried to the gate of the mansion.

Sun Shaozong continued to order, "The injured brothers can assist each other to bandage. The rest of the people find something that is handy, tie up all the rebels, and then divide into two teams to search carefully to see if there were any missing ones!"

"Yes, My Lord!"

The guards acted separately. Soon someone brought a pile of curtains and clothes, cut them into pieces with a knife, and bound the assassins up like dumplings.

Not only that, but Sun Shaozong also found that many people had bulging pockets filled with all kinds of valuable items. At first, he wanted to scold them. But later, he thought that the soldiers and bandits were not any different from each other these days. If he stopped them, although most of them would obey orders, they would have to complain about themselves afterward. Especially when he was new here and was about to rely on these people, there was no need to quarrel with them for some stolen goods.

So Sun Shaozong turned a blind eye and thought he had seen nothing.

After the assassins were tied up, he saw that the guards spontaneously divided into two teams and began to search. He hurriedly added, "Be careful everyone. If you encounter any thorny matters, don't try to be brave. Try to inform me first!"

In the scuffle just now, under Sun Shaozong's deliberate care, only five or six of the nearly 20 guards suffered some minor flesh injuries. If he has lost some of his guards after locking the victory, wouldn't he have wasted his efforts just now?

When the guards heard the speech, they said "Yes My Lord" together. Then they acted separately.

After the guards left, Sun Shaozong set his eyes on the prisoners and was about to interrogate them, when he suddenly found that there was a warm jade object in his palm. He then remembered that he had been holding Ruan Rong's hand all along and had forgotten to let go.

He hurriedly loosened his paws, scratched his head, and said with a smile, "Isn't Miss Rong scared just now?"

Ruan Rong blushed and shook her head. She didn't dare to look at Sun Shaozong. Her mouth was as soft as glutinous rice and said, "Brother Sun, just call me Rong'er. That's what Dad calls me."

Even if he is not enlightened, he can still hear the implied feelings in this sentence. Besides, how many love histories did Sun Shaozong have in modern times?

It’s just…

In this short half-day, the little girl gave him a look of affection. Isn’t it too fast?

However, he did not know that most of the ladies in the family these days did not step out of the gate. The men they met before leaving the cabinet were either old relatives and friends, or servants. It was easier to fall in love with an excellent stranger at first sight.
