One morning in a Jiangnan town.
From a household in a small alley came angry curses, the language was foul and harsh, the voice loud and disturbing, making it difficult for the neighbors to find peace.
"Mourning face idler, your father and mother are still alive, who are you showing that ghostly look to all day."
"Living off your mother, drinking your mother's provisions, a good-for-nothing lazybones, eighteen and still unwed, living off the family, not even going to light a fire and cook; if your brother wakes up to no food, your mother will beat you to death."
Lian Bao led the Internal Guard Bureau members through the alley, the group silently followed clues to this spot.
A few dozen steps from their target house, the back door of this curse-yelling household creaked open and a basin of water was splashed out.
Lian Bao was caught off guard and got splashed all over, his eyes sharply scanning the person who threw the water.
