The sudden scream silenced the noisy banquet scene for an instant, followed by panic.
"What's going on?"
"Is someone dead? Run quickly..."
Everyone rushed out of the courtyard, pushing and shoving, and the food, wine, bowls and chopsticks fell on the floor, and no one could continue to eat.
"Dad, this..." Li Qingqing ran to Lao Li Tou's side and said a little at a loss.
Old Li Touqiang calmed himself and said: "Don't panic, don't panic, our family lives an honest life, and no trouble will happen to us..."
But seeing the beautiful wedding banquet turn into a mess, Old Li Tou looked a little helpless and depressed...
At this moment, an angry curse came from outside the hospital.
"Squeeze your ass, get the hell back here!"
"Hey, what are you doing, don't push..."
After a burst of pushing and shoving, everyone who had just rushed out of the yard was driven back again, making a lot of noise.
Jiang Ming's eyes darkened slightly, and he had already heard who the owner of the voice was.
Sure enough, the next moment Lao Scarzi walked in with a bunch of gangsters.
"Killing people, killing people...there is no justice!" Behind Lao Scar, a fat woman was being held up by a few gangsters on her shoulders, struggling and yelling crazily.
Jiang Ming took a closer look. Isn't this the fat neighbor on the other side? I heard that the man in his family works as an errand in the city and is usually arrogant and domineering. Even Lao Scar doesn't dare to do anything to him.
Why has it changed like this today?
boom!
Several gangsters threw it together and threw the fat woman into the yard. One of them went up and kicked her hard: "Shut your mouth, I'll beat you until you have teeth all over the floor!"
"Hey, I thought someone was really dead, but it turned out to be this...fat woman!" Everyone in the yard calmed down, and someone whispered, but the last two words were taken very lightly. After all, it is not a bad thing to be resented by an official wife.
What a good thing.
But the fat woman was still yelling and yelling: "Old Scar, please let me go home quickly. Are you brave? Aren't you afraid that my man will come back to teach you a lesson?"
Lao Scarzi's eyes showed a fierce look, he walked over in a few steps, slapped her in the face, and said sternly: "Scream again, I will really kill you!"
The fat woman fell silent for an instant, her face filled with fat showed a pale look of fear, her lips were tightly closed, and she no longer dared to speak.
She was usually arrogant, but she was not a fool. She could tell that Old Scar was really angry today. If the trouble continued, he might really dare to kill someone.
In the corner, Jiang Ming was confused. Although this old man was usually vicious, he actually bullied the weak and feared the strong. He never provoked Old Zhou. People with a background like the fat woman were so arrogant today. Something was wrong...
…
He suddenly stared at Old Scar, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in black robes beside him. The latter had a steady pace and a glint in his eyes. He must be someone who had practiced martial arts...
Old Scar's hands don't have such good hands.
"Today, no one is allowed to leave without my order!" On the other side, Old Scar finished dealing with the fat woman, then stepped over her, staring fiercely at the people in the yard.
Beside him, the middle-aged man in black robe rolled his eyes, looked at everyone present, and finally shook his head gently at Old Scar.
Old Scar's face was slightly ugly. He turned to look at Old Li Tou and sneered: "Old Li Tou, your daughter is getting married, and your son won't come back to celebrate it?"
Jiang Ming and A Fei looked at each other and both remembered the mysterious young man who had only shown a glimpse of him and then disappeared.
"Eh... I saw his son Li Zhuang just now. Why is he missing now?" Someone next to him whispered.
"I heard that Li Zhuang is working as a servant for a wealthy family in the city. Isn't he guilty of something..."
Lao Litou's expression changed. These guys...are they here for his son?
He pursed his lips and said with a pale face, "I wonder what happened to A Zhuang?"
Old Scar snorted and was about to explain the reason, but suddenly he turned his eyes and said: "He was gambling in the city and owed the gang a lot of money... I couldn't find anyone else, so I came to ask you."
Lao Li was stunned and shook his head quickly: "Impossible...how could A Zhuang do such a thing."
"Hey, thirty taels of silver... If your son never shows up, you have to pay this debt for him!"
Lao Scarzi smiled and said: "I heard that during this period of time... you have been very popular in the town. You must have saved a lot of money."
Old Li Tou's body became even more stooped, his face was full of fear, and he tremblingly said: "Master Scar... I only know how to do carpentry work, and do woodwork to support the family... How can I save money..."
"I don't care about that, I only care about money!" Old Scar glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "And you have moved to Ping'an Town for so long and lived in the house for several months... have you ever paid any rent?
?”
"Rent?" Lao Litou said with panic and trembling: "When my daughter and I first moved here, we gave all the money to the official in the town. The official pointed out a yard for us to live in.
I’ve never heard of rent before.”
Old Scar glanced at him and sneered: "The official charges are land money, and I charge rent money...can they be confused?"
Lao Li's lips turned white and he did not dare to speak.
Old Scar let out a long sigh and pretended to be generous: "I think you are pitiful. Your son's gambling money plus your rent will give you... forty taels of silver!"
"What?" Lao Litou was shocked by this number. He had never earned so much money in his entire life.
Li Qingqing was also furious and was about to rush to argue with Lao Scar, but was held back by Lao Li Tou and her husband.
Old Scar caught a glimpse of Li Qingqing, then looked at the family in a joking way, and said casually: "It is only natural to pay back debts. I will give you one day... If you still don't pay by this time tomorrow, then you, my daughter... will take it."
Let's pay the bill, and sell it to Qinghe Tower... I should be able to get it for dozens of taels of silver."
Lao Li's head and legs went weak, and he immediately fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowing crazily: "Master Scar, I can do anything you ask me to do, but please don't take my daughter away..."
"Remember, you only have one day... Don't even think about escaping, that will only make things worse!" Lao Scar showed no mercy, kicked Lao Li's head away, and left with a group of gangsters.
Before leaving, Lao Scarzi glared at Jiang Ming with an evil look, obviously noticing him too...
After Lao Scarzi made a fuss, the banquet could no longer be held, and the yard soon became empty and a mess.
Lao Li slumped on the ground with his head weak, muttering unconsciously: "How can this be a life... How can one live like this..."
Li Qingqing just held Lao Li's head, confused and didn't know what to do.
Jiang Ming squatted beside the two of them and whispered: "No matter what, don't go looking for Li Zhuang."
He couldn't understand the real reason behind Lao Scar's troubles, but he was sure that it was not just about money.
The key to everything lies in that Li Zhuang. Once Li Zhuang is found... the consequences will not be too wonderful...
