Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

“You…” First Master Jun was stunned by Hou Ming’s action.

And when he heard Hou Ming’s words, he almost fell down to the ground.

How could it be?

How could the person who stayed with Jun Shi Lian was actually the person who was related to the Nan Family and not someone from Governor Nian?

Because Jun Shi Lian was stuffed into the Jun Family by Governor Nian, they had the misconception that Hou Ming should be Governor Nian’s person. This alone had made them unwilling to do anything to him in fear of Governor Nian behind him.

But after they heard him declare his identity, everyone was even more stunned.

“Lies! It must be lies!” First Madam Jun yelled hysterically.

She felt that it was impossible.

“Is it?” Hou Ming took out his token from the Nan Family that was given to him and then the letter that Nan Luo asked to send to him. He looked at Governor Nian and handed the letter over to the other party.

Governor Nian was surprised, but he surpassed the thoughts in his mind and cupped his fist politely to Hou Ming.

After he read the letter, he understood that the Nan Family was not only clarifying the rumor, but they also pressed charges. The Jun Family dared to use the Nan Family’s name, so they asked for compensation of their reputation damage.

As Governor Nian read the letter out loud, the crowd was in uproar.

“No!” First Madam Jun screamed.

First Master Jun closed his eyes in despair.

He knew that his life was over right now.

There was basically no possibility of him turning over in his life again.

But there was still a great sense of unwillingness in his heart.

“How could you be with Jun Shi Lian?” First Master Jun asked, his voice was filled with confusion and unwillingness.

“He’s my subordinate.” Hou Ming glanced at Jun Shi Lian and sneered. “Isn’t it right, 1000 men commander under Commander Nan, Commander Jun Shi Lian?”

“Yes, Adjutant,” Jun Shi Lian replied calmly.

1000 men commander?

The crowd was stunned and then they turned to look at Jun Shi Lian whose hand was still hanging in front of him. If one had to say, Jun Shi Lian’s stature didn’t look like a soldier at all.

After all, Jun Shi Lian’s body was still leaning towards the lean type rather than the bulky type.

“Ah, Adjutant, it’s really you,” Han Dao Ming called out when he saw the two of them and then grinned. “So can I call you Commander now, Commander Jun?”

He has been restraining himself from calling Jun Shi Lian with commander because the other party asked him to hide his identity.

Now that Hou Ming basically exposed Jun Shi Lian’s identity, Han Dao Ming didn’t have to restrain himself anymore. This is good news for him.

“Yes.” Jun Shi Lian glanced at Han Dao Ming and didn’t care too much about the other party.

“No, this is…” First Master Jun watched the scene in front of him and felt like he was a joke. It turned out that his own son was the one who had relationship with the Nan Family, but Jun Shi Lian himself refused to be associated with the Jun Family.

“Jun Shi Lian is my son and I…”

“First Master Jun, you should not forget about the fact that you changed your son’s name with mine when reporting to the army,” Jun Shi Lian interrupted calmly. “I’ll never accept being your son and you can consider us separated.”

Separation in a family was still a big deal.

Many people might even be called unfilial if they dared to separate from their parents.

But in the case of Jun Shi Lian, they all knew how this man has been treated all these years. So separation should be a normal thing.

“No, ah!”

Bang!

Governor Nian kicked First Master Jun and then waved his hand to the guards to drag them out.

From that day, the Jun Family was basically over.

The people who watched First Master Jun being dragged out and then his wife and son followed soon afterwards. They didn’t know what happened to them, but Jun Shi Lian knew very well.

This matter was reported and these three people were given the dead penalties.

The money they have taken were taken by the governor to use for other project in the city.

First Master Jun screamed how he wanted to see Jun Shi Lian before his end, but Jun Shi Lian refused. He didn’t want to see First Master Jun in the slightest bit.

That man doesn’t deserve to be a father.

“Wow, it’s so fast and neat,” Han Dao Ming commented when he gathered together to eat with Hou Ming and Jun Shi Lian.

The cleanup for the Jun Family has only happened a few days ago but the punishment has been determined and Governor Nian made a lot of money.

“The evidences are conclusive, so there’s no need for them to do anything else,” Jun Shi Lian said calmly.

“I see.” Han Dao Ming nodded in understanding.

He felt that it was a bit of pity that they couldn’t see First Master Jun and his family suffer anymore.

But that joke a few days ago has been the talk of the people in this city.

Governor Nian’s sharp means also terrified some nobles, but when they heard that he did it under the Nan Family’s order, they were more afraid of these powerful families.

It seemed that even if they wanted to get close to the noble and influential family, they had to be careful.

Jun Family was a painful lesson.

So what if they were so far away?

So what if they would not interfere directly?

Just a letter would be enough to destroy them if they were not careful enough.

Of course, this matter could be said to be Jun Family’s fault because they were using the Nan Family’s name without permission.
