With Xie Tingyun's punch and lion-like roar, echoing in the narrow alley, the big willow tree dozens of steps behind him also swayed its branches and leaves, and the corners and walls outside the alley suddenly surged out.
More than ten burly men immediately blocked Xie Tingyun's front and back. Their eyes flashed fiercely, and they picked up wooden sticks and iron bars in their hands. They all stared at Luo Bing, waiting for him.
What about the order?
Luo Bing stopped his retreating figure, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his face, raised his head, wiped the bloody saliva from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and looked directly at Xie Tingyun: "Xie Tingyun, you kid can do it.
If you dare to take action here, do you really think that the Beifu Army has the final say in this capital?"
Xie Tingyun said loudly: "Whether it is Xie Tingyun, a former sergeant in Beifu, or Xie Tingyun, a commoner in Jiankang of the Jin Dynasty, he will not sell himself into slavery and be manipulated by others. Luo Bing, I finally heard it. From the beginning to the end,
The end is a trap set by your kid. It has nothing to do with Brother Xile. It's just that you colluded with the Wang family. Not only did you want to blackmail my shop, but you also wanted me to join the Wang family and become a thug. Humph, I thank Tingyun, a dignified man, how can I be
People are driven like dogs. If you have the ability, let the Wang family take over my shop. I will wait for him here. When the time comes, let's see who is ruthless!"
A trace of panic flashed in Luo Bing's eyes: "You kid, don't you want to live? Humph, you privately took advantage of the miscarriage and protected the rogues, all of which are enough to put you in jail!"
Xie Tingyun sneered: "Even if I break the national law and go to jail, I am willing to do so. If Danyang Yin (the top administrator of Jiankang City) appointed by Brother Jinu comes to arrest me and deal with me according to the national law, I will have nothing to say.
, As for my wife, children and Sethchi's family, naturally I will entrust it to my brothers to take care of me before going to prison, but if you want to use this to blackmail me and make me become a thug slave of a noble family, don't even think about it in the next life!
"
One of the leading thugs, with his arms exposed and tattooed with some incomprehensible talismans and symbols, said viciously: "Boss Luo, don't talk nonsense to this kid. You did him here. I don't believe it. An ordinary man."
The soldiers from Beifu can defeat so many of us!"
Xie Tingyun laughed and rolled up his sleeves: "Looking at the tattoos on your bodies and the way you hold weapons, you must be the remnants of the demon thieves from Tianshi Dao in the past. No wonder you followed Luo Bing instead of Lu Xun.
Guangzhou has now become the thug of these high-ranking families. Come, come, come, our old debts have not been settled yet, who comes first?!"
Luo Bing gritted his teeth: "Xie, don't regret it!"
He said, waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
The tall man with Tianshi Dao tattoos at the head was a little surprised, but he still put away his weapon, glared at Xie Tingyun fiercely, and quickly followed Luo Bing away. When he walked to the other side of the alley, he couldn't help but whisper.
He said: "Boss, this kid dares to beat you openly, and just let him go?"
Luo Bing's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "It's broad daylight, there are many people here, and Liu Yu has just left, so it's not a good time to make a move. Besides, the lord doesn't want us to really kill him this time. Liu Yu came to see him today.
This is the most troublesome thing. I’ll wait until I get back to ask my lord for instructions. You all should be prepared, do you understand?”
The evil man grinned and licked his lips: "I'm waiting for your order, boss!"
Xie Tingyun watched the vicious gang disappear at the entrance of the dark alley, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Madam Xie walked to his side with a nervous look on her face: "Why, they are coming to take over our shop again."
Already?"
Xie Tingyun gritted his teeth: "It was because I didn't know people well and mistakenly believed in traitors that I fell into their trap. Madam, you have suffered a lot."
Madam Xie grabbed his hand at once: "Husband, these people are not easy to mess with. I have seen two of the thugs just now. They were demon thieves in the past and have eaten human flesh. How about we...
Let’s report it to the official first.”
Xie Tingyun sighed: "Officials? The officials in Jiankang City are still in charge of those aristocratic families. Our Beifu brothers are either going north to fight against the Hu or west to fight against the Huan. The two main backbones, Brother Xile and Brother Jinu, are not here.
If we really want to report to the official at this time, we will fall into the hands of the children of these aristocratic families. They are all in the same group, how can they be against us."
Having said this, he glanced at Sai Sichi's family of three and sighed: "After all, Brother Sai and the others are real barbarians, and they have no redemption contract. This alone can put us all in jail."
Madam Xie's eyes sparkled with tears: "Wasn't Marshal Liu here just now? Let's go and beg him. It will definitely be possible."
Xie Tingyun gritted his teeth: "How much benefit have we received from Brother Jinu over the years? After Brother Feng died, he has been sending us his military salary for more than 20 years. After so many years, it can be said that we have
Reborn parents and saviors, they have just taken charge of the army, and there are so many military and national affairs to deal with. Do we have the nerve to bother them with this little thing, let alone..."
At this point, he sighed: "What's more, the original fake contracts were approved by Brother Xile. Later, Brother Xinu issued an order saying that these were against the birth of the child and that the property should be returned to the original owner. At this time, I ran to find it without proof.
Brother Jinu complained, the Wang family did not come to me directly. When the time came, the man named Luo refused to admit it, saying that he was working for Brother Xile. Then my small shop might cause trouble to the two of us from the Beifu Army.
The misunderstandings and conflicts between eldest brothers, even if I die thousands of times, I can't atone for my sins."
Madam Xie finally shed tears: "Originally, I thought that after entering the capital, I would be able to live a good life. Who would have thought, who would have thought that it would be like this..."
Xie Tingyun closed his eyes: "This is life. Can we live a good life in Kuaiji? If it weren't for the young master Xie Lingyun who would ask us to go back to Xie's house as tenants after he goes back, and we have to pay back what we have owed over the years.
How can we be forced to sell our property and move our family due to land rent? In this world, or in the world of aristocratic families, we cannot avoid it no matter where we go."
Madam Xie wiped away her tears and looked at Xie Tingyun: "Husband, what should we do now? The Wang family and Luo Bing will definitely not let us go, and they will definitely bring someone to rob us next time."
Xie Tingyun gritted his teeth: "Now this Hu Cake Shop is our only livelihood. We must not throw it away. We can't go back to Kuaiji. When we go back, we have to get the young master to be a shopkeeper again. I'll go look for him later."
Brother Niu, ask him to invite some old brothers to come to my place to sit here for a few days. At least let the Wang family and Luo Bing see that I, Xie Tingyun, am not someone to be bullied, so that he doesn’t dare to be tough, as long as he is willing to talk,
The most I can do is write an IOU. I will pay him back after working hard these past few years and earning enough money. If not, I will return to the army if there is a war next time. As long as I am rewarded for my meritorious service, I should be able to pay him back."
Madam Xie said quickly: "No, I don't want you to join the army anymore. It's too dangerous. I can't live without you."
Xie Tingyun forced a smile: "Just take it one step at a time. I'm going to find Brother Mengniu now. You have to watch this place. I'll be back before sunset!"
