Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 979 You Can Roll Now

```

Blood Cloak Guard Thousand Household!

The squad leader of the Imperial Guard who intended to take action never dreamed that Wang Chen would reveal such an Identity Plaque.

His expression suddenly became incredibly stiff, and he subconsciously let go of the iron ruler he was holding in his right hand.

The other Imperial Guards were all dumbfounded, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

That brocade-robed man was feeling smug when he suddenly realized that something was amiss, and blurted out, "What’s wrong?"

No one answered his question.

The squad leader of the Imperial Guard confronting Wang Chen hesitated for a moment, then stiffly performed a greeting: "I’ve seen the Thousand Household Family Head, is there perhaps some misunderstanding in this matter?"

If it had been an ordinary family involved, facing a Blood Cloak Guard Thousand Household, he would have definitely turned and left.

Any disputes should be taken to the Jingzhao Yamen to be settled!

But the background of this homeowner was exceptionally Fierce; otherwise, he would not have led his men here to back him up, now feeling that both parties involved were too much to provoke, he already started thinking about beating a retreat.

Of course, as a member of the Imperial Guard, he couldn’t just turn and leave, he had to find an excuse to step down.

"No misunderstanding."

At this time, Wang Chen calmly showcased his own property deed: "This residence belongs to me; I just hadn’t been living here. Who would have thought that someone would brazenly occupy it, heh."

His gaze turned toward the brocade-robed man: "Now I have produced my evidence, you say it’s yours, where is your proof?"

The brocade-robed man was at a loss for words.

He knew well that this residence had an owner, but it had been abandoned and unattended for many years, which is why he harbored the thought of seizing it.

Considering his own family background, he was confident that even if the original owner appeared, he would have a solid case to fight in court.

In this aspect, he was very confident.

But he never expected that not only would the original owner turn up, but he also seemed to have quite the clout, causing even the Imperial Guards, who were originally on his side, to be extremely wary and dare not act rashly.

And while Wang Chen demanded evidence, the truth was, he did have a property deed in his possession.

However, this property deed couldn’t be authenticated, and presenting it now would only bring humiliation upon himself, and possibly implicate others!

In the end, at this moment, whoever had the bigger fist was in the right.

The brocade-robed man gritted his teeth and asked sternly: "May I ask for your distinguished name, sir? I am Han Zhengjie, and my uncle is with the Jingzhao Yamen..."

"Han Sir!"

The squad leader of the Imperial Guard suddenly interrupted him, warning sternly, "If you have evidence, present it; don’t speak of irrelevant matters. This Wang Chen, Lord Wang, was just granted an audience with the Emperor a few days ago, and was newly appointed as the Chief of a Thousand Household by His Majesty. Do you understand?"

An audience with the Emperor, Chief of a Thousand Household?

The brocade-robed man, Han Zhengjie, was staggered as if struck by a heavy blow, his head spinning and seeing stars.

He finally understood why these Imperial Guards didn’t dare to make a move; this man’s background and authority were much more formidable than his own!

While the squad leader of the Imperial Guard appeared to scold him, he was actually cautioning him not to make a foolish mistake and drag his uncle into this.

Realizing this, Han Zhengjie’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and his legs began trembling.

Wang Chen glanced at the squad leader of the Imperial Guard; clearly, this guy already knew his identity.

He didn’t care and said to Han Zhengjie, "I have given you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. Now, immediately get out of my house, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"I’ve given you face; you should properly accept it, understand?"

Wang Chen disliked bullying and pressuring people, but some people are just naturally shameless. Without a severe reprimand, they think too highly of themselves.

Han Zhengjie’s knees gave out, and with a thump, he knelt on the ground: "Lord Wang, I realize my mistake. Please, show mercy and give me another chance!"

His entire fortune was invested in this estate, and if he was evicted, he would end up on the streets, penniless. How would his whole family survive then?

```

Speaking, Han Zhengjie kept kowtowing until his forehead was bloody.

The captain of the Imperial Guard cursed inwardly, but still pleaded on his behalf, "Lord Wang, ignorance is not a crime. Please give him one more chance and let him pack up before leaving, how about that?"

Had it not been for the sake of Han Zhengjie’s uncle’s reputation, he wouldn’t have wanted to offend Wang Chen either.

Wang Chen thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Fine, I’ll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to pack up. Don’t expect me to wait past that!"

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

Han Zhengjie was instantly like a man pardoned from death, a picture of tearful gratitude.

The captain of the Imperial Guard also expressed his thanks.

Then, within this mansion, it was utter chaos; adults ordering children who cried, servants running around like headless flies, carrying away Han Zhengjie’s possessions.

Wang Chen paid no attention to these fellows, instead asking the Imperial Guard captain with interest, "What’s your name?"

The latter silently lamented and replied, "Reporting to my lord, I am Feng Yuping, Third Battalion, Seventh Squad Leader of the Outer Guard of the Imperial Guard."

"Feng Yuping…"

Wang Chen chuckled and asked, "And how do you know of me?"

Feng Yuping swallowed hard, "I grew up with Colonel Shangguan Pengfei as family friends, so I’ve heard of my lord’s great name."

"I see."

Wang Chen pointed at the distraught Han Zhengjie and inquired, "What does this man’s uncle do?"

"He’s from Jingzhao Yamen…"

With a constipated look on his face, Feng Yuping said, "Please, my lord, don’t make this difficult for me."

Wang Chen sneered and didn’t press any further.

Feng Yuping felt he had made a huge mistake, filled with intense regret.

He quickly glanced at Han Zhengjie, then, speaking in a hushed tone, he said, "This man’s uncle is the Zhizhong of Jingzhao Yamen."

Zhizhong!

Wang Chen understood.

A Zhizhong in Jingzhao Yamen was in charge of finance, population registry, land, and agriculture, holding power over wealth, ranking as the third person in command.

No wonder Han Zhengjie dared to occupy this mansion; indeed, his family background was not ordinary.

Ordinary people, facing such an issue, would have no chance of winning in a lawsuit at Jingzhao Yamen.

If Wang Chen were merely a Thousand Household of the Blood Cloak Guard, he likely wouldn’t have been able to reclaim the house so easily. Considering the quality level of the Zhizhong was higher than his, the lawsuit would indeed be harder to fight.

It was mainly because he had just met with Emperor Liang, basking in the aura of the emperor’s favor, that made Han Zhengjie so wary and fearful.

If Wang Chen were to report this matter to the Emperor, not to mention a Zhizhong, even the Prefect of Jingzhao wouldn’t be able to get away with it!

Out of the mindset that it’s better to have less trouble, Wang Chen didn’t want to make a big issue out of it, so he let Han Zhengjie move his belongings away.

After the time it took an incense stick to burn, he ordered sternly, "Time’s up, you can all get out!"

In reality, Han Zhengjie only had enough time to move the more portable valuables like gold, silver, antiques, and paintings; he couldn’t take much of the larger items, but he didn’t dare challenge Wang Chen’s patience further and obediently left.

Leaving a mess behind.

And Feng Yuping was relieved, exchanged a few courteous words with Wang Chen, and then left with his subordinates.

In the spacious mansion, Wang Chen was left alone.
