Several people ran across the street, looking back from time to time for fear that someone was chasing them.
This is the territory of the Tang family. There are large and small shops on both sides of the street, selling everything. At this time, the shops have already closed their doors, ushering in the silent darkness.
Darkness brings fear to people, and everyone has an emotion. This emotion is uncertain, either happy or sad. It is often not expressed in the sun. Only in the darkness does it gradually become clear, making people aware of it. There is a sense of fear.
People overcome fear with tenacity, but fear is often suppressed in the bottom of their hearts. Sometimes it shrinks and sometimes expands, making it invisible to people. It can only be seen in the dark, allowing all human nature to be revealed.
"You thieves, stop here!"
Before they could even run out of the street, someone lit a lantern from behind, roared from time to time, and chased after them, panting.
This man is of medium build, wearing a scarlet robe, holding a lantern and a stick, his face is stained with white hair, his beard is unshaven, his nose is high, he has an aspiration on his eyebrows, and he has gold teeth in his mouth. He looks like a rich man at first glance.
"This old man is so true that he has not given up even now!"
"Brother, why don't you give the things back to him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can we give back what we finally got? Don't forget that we are thieves, and kindness will only make people look down on us."
"Brother, it's a small matter. If we tire the old man to death, then we will kill someone, and the leader will not let us go."
"What are you afraid of? The Chen family is very wealthy. We just took a few things from his family. There is no need to go to such great lengths. Even though he was exhausted, we took the things and ran away. Who would doubt us? We can only say that he is tired. dead."
There were five of these people, each with sly eyebrows, wearing black clothes, with short daggers hanging on their waists, carrying a small red box in their hands, and they were all running away with cautious expressions on their faces.
Just when they were about to exit the street, someone chased them. Only then did they start to worry, fearing that they would be caught by this person.
They were originally thieves who stole things. In order to survive, they went to other people's homes to cause trouble. They thought they had done it airtight, but they were discovered in the end. Now they are chasing them and starting to make noises.
"You are a bunch of little thieves. If you dare to steal my things, Chen Hao, why don't you stop and give them back to me."
Chen Hao is a famous rich man in Dongdi, and he is also a popular person around Tang Can. Chen Hao plays an important role in the success of the family. Almost the entire Dongdi market belongs to him, and there are also many domestic slaves, who are the most valued by Tang Can. A retainer.
Chen Hao ran faster and faster, but the five thieves were finally blocked and stared at Chen Hao fiercely.
"Old man, didn't I just take some of your jewelry and use it so hard?"
"You little thieves are worthy of talking to me?"
"Old man, don't toast and you'll be punished with a drink!" another thief said angrily.
"The leader has been very courteous to me. Who do you think you are? Hurry up and return the food to me, or you will have to walk around without food."
"Who are you trying to scare?" said a little thief.
brush!
Just as the thief finished speaking, Chen Hao moved forward, ran forward and kicked the little thief, which made the little thief roll directly to the ground.
The little thief clutched his stomach and screamed, scolding Chen Hao from time to time. Chen Hao had no expression on his face and said in a deep voice to the other four: "Give me back the box!"
The four of them looked at each other and gnashed their teeth angrily. One of the thieves cursed: "You old thing, I see you are over fifty and your life is about to be in a coffin, so I don't want to argue with you! And you treat my brother
If you fight like this, you have to pay the price."
"You are a bunch of little bastards, please return my things quickly."
"I'll give you back your spring and autumn ass!"
The thieves became more and more angry as they listened. Four of them cursed and threw down the box, and started beating Chen Hao. One of them hugged Chen Hao to the ground, knocking him over. They immediately started punching and kicking each other, and they were fighting together.
"Brother, we can kill him!"
Chen Hao fell to the ground unable to move, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen with a trace of blood, and his clothes were torn, but he had no intention of letting him go, and even wanted to beat him to death.
"We can't escape death anyway, so what if we kill him? Just kill him."
The five thieves all took out their daggers. Although they looked very bold on their faces, they were frightened in their hearts. They asked themselves all the time, do I really want to kill him?
They were hesitant, causing Chen Hao to get up on the ground. Seeing how many people were trying to kill him, he couldn't help but laugh wildly.
"Old guy, why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at the fact that I have contributed to the family all my life. I didn't expect that the family would be in such chaos. The leader became bald because of his son, and the family became murderous because of Tang Yunfeng. I, Chen Hao, have lived a glorious life. I didn't expect that I would die in front of you.
What a big joke!”
Chen Hao's unwillingness made the four thieves even angrier, and they beat and kicked him. One of them even cut off his finger.
Chen Hao screamed in pain and kept rolling.
"Old man, go to hell!"
"stop!"
Several people picked up daggers and were about to stab Chen Hao to death. Just as the daggers were rushing toward his body, a voice stopped them.
