Shu Yu coldly snorted and kicked the person in front of her, sending him tumbling, then swiftly threw another person over her shoulder.
Turning back, Ying Xi also easily took down two others.
The crowd was dumbfounded. Weren't they supposed to be weak women unable to fight them?
The middle-aged man was taken aback and subconsciously took a few steps back.
The others didn't dare to approach anymore, just maintaining a safe distance and forming a circle around them. As Shu Yu moved forward, the circle moved with her.
With over half of the backyard's walls collapsed, Shu Yu easily walked out with the horse.
Seeing that this was not going as planned, the middle-aged man realized that they were losing control of the situation, and soon Shu Yu would leave.
At this moment, someone yelled, "The constables are coming!"
Shu Yu looked up and saw two constables in their official attire walking towards them. She didn't know if they happened to pass by or someone called them.
Someone in the crowd shouted at Shu Yu, "Miss, didn't you say you'd report this to the authorities? Now is the perfect time; the constables have arrived!"
Shu Yu glanced at the person. Why were these people so eager to watch a spectacle?
But it seemed that she wasn't the only one seeking trouble. Someone else in the crowd shouted loudly, "Constables, someone wants to report an incident here!"
Shu Yu's mouth twitched, and the middle-aged man's expression changed further.
There was no turning back now.
Seeing the constables looking their way, the middle-aged man hurriedly approached them.
Shu Yu keenly observed that he handed a piece of silver to one of the constables, who glanced at him before accepting it.
Ying Xi whispered to Shu Yu, "Miss, the constable might not be on our side now."
"Yes, if things escalate, we should head straight to the magistrate's office and find the Prefect," Shu Yu replied.
Now that she had some status, she shouldn't suffer any injustice in such a minor incident, right?
Just as they were discussing, the two constables approached. They glanced at Shu Yu and then at the white horse beside her, asking, "Are you the one who wants to report this?"
Before Shu Yu could reply, the constable continued, "Wait for a moment. We have something to attend to right now. We'll talk about the situation later. For now, everyone move back a bit and stop blocking the way."
Shu Yu thought the constable would take action immediately, but to her surprise, he asked her to wait a while longer.
The constable waved his hand, instructing everyone to move back, "I knew there were so many people here for a reason. The wall has already collapsed for the most part. Alright, everyone, stop crowding around. Move back further."
As he spoke, two carriages appeared not far down the street.
Someone whispered beside Shu Yu, "Isn't that the Prefect's carriage?"
Shu Yu suddenly realized that the Prefect had business along this street, and these constables were here to clear the way.
Just as she was thinking about it, the carriages passed by them. When the person in the front carriage lifted the curtain to look outside, their eyes met with Shu Yu's.
"Master Wan??" Shu Yu was surprised.
Wasn't this the officer from the Ministry of Justice who delivered the official decree to Lin Zhangfu before?
Shu Yu had a brief encounter with Master Wan when he went to reinstate Yao Tianqin, taking him back with the decree.
It seemed like he was injured or sick at the time and was coincidentally saved by Hou Shi with her medicine.
When Yao Tianqin left Heichang County, Shu Yu saw him off and happened to meet Master Wan.
But isn't he an official in the capital? Why would he be in Shangyang Prefecture? Could he be here for another official errand?
