The fat man glanced sideways at Li Shimao: "Okay, ask him to pour me tea."
Foreman Cai winked at Li Shimao.
Zhu Bai stuck his head out from the second floor and looked down.
Li Shimao suppressed the fire, took the tea from someone else's hand, put it on the table next to the fat man, and said roughly: "Drink tea, sir."
The fat man: "Is this how you pour tea?"
Foreman Cai was afraid that Li Shimao would be pushed into a hurry and took action again, so he hurriedly said: "Don't argue with him. You should be tired after listening to him for an hour. Drink tea, drink tea. Let's calm down the fire."
The fat man said: "Thankfully the foreman can speak. Otherwise, I will definitely sue you to King Xiang."
Li Shimao gritted his teeth secretly: You fat man, you are seeking death like this. If I don't let you suffer, how can you survive in Yingtian in the future?
-----
The fat man wandered around the dental shop, drank some free snacks and tea, and then left.
Entering a small alley, a few big men appeared out of nowhere in front of me.
The fat man saw something was wrong and wanted to run away, but was blocked by people at the entrance of the alley.
The fat man stammered and asked: "You, you, you, what do you want to do? In broad daylight, the sky is clear, and at the feet of the emperor, don't mess around."
Li Shimao sneered: "Haha, can this young master be bullied by a bastard like you?"
Then several big men swarmed up and punched and kicked the fat man.
When passers-by saw that he was a servant of the Li Mansion, they all ran away. Firstly they couldn't bear to see the fat man being bullied, and secondly they were afraid of getting into trouble.
As a result, the fat man looked bulky, but he was very flexible in the fight, dodging left and right, spinning in circles in the alley like a top.
Surrounded by seven or eight people, not only did he not suffer much, he could also take the opportunity to give the opponent a few blows.
When the people saw it, they thought it was interesting, just like a sideshow, and then they all gathered around to cheer the fat man on.
When the fat man saw someone cheering him on, he became more and more courageous as he fought.
Li Shimao was so angry: "You useless things, seven of you can't beat a dead fat man."
The servants knew that they had met Lian Jiazi, and they couldn't beat him. They didn't dare to run, so they could only hold on.
"What's the fuss about?" someone shouted in the alley.
The onlookers immediately moved out of the way.
It turned out that Xu Du, the commander of the North City Military and Horse Division, was passing by on inspection.
The servants felt a sense of relief when they saw Conductor Xu Du: This farce was finally over.
At least they don't have to be beaten anymore.
Xu Du commanded: "If a crowd gathers to fight, take them all back to me."
Li Shimao was a little panicked now. His original plan was to teach the fat man a lesson and then leave, without waiting for the military department to intervene.
It would be troublesome to have anything to do with the Soldiers and Horses Division.
This incident spread throughout Yingtian City from various teahouses and restaurants in less than an hour.
Everyone was curious about who this fat man was, who dared to openly confront the Li family in Yingtian City.
The key is that he has outstanding skills and taught the Li family a lesson, which was really satisfying.
Today is different from the past. Zhu Yuanzhang had already seriously warned the Li family about the incident at the roasted seeds and nuts shop last time.
If he commits another crime again, Lao Zhu will only punish him severely and will never show any favoritism.
So Li Dacai was very nervous and hurriedly went to the Beicheng Army and Horse Department to take care of it.
Commander Xu Du sighed: "Master Li, it's not that the official is unaccommodating, you also know that person's temper. I really don't dare to..."
Just kidding, so many people on the street watched Li Shimao being arrested, but he turned around and let him go quietly.
He was the next one to be skinned and exposed.
Li Dacai said: "What should we do now?"
Xu Du commanded: "If you are grinding here, you might as well go to King Xiang to find a solution. Nowadays, the only person who can have such face in front of the emperor, besides the prince, is King Xiang."
Li Dacai suddenly realized: Yes, Li Shimao is now Zhu Bai's subordinate. Zhu Bai is the most suitable person.
Li Dacai begged Xu Du to suppress the matter, and went to find Zhu Bai anxiously.
Zhu Bai was currently listening to the various foremen of the Guan Ya Bureau reporting on today's situation.
Li Dacai could only listen outside according to his temper.
Foreman Cai said: "Li Shimao left at noon without saying hello and has not returned yet."
Zhu Bai said: "Remember to leave early."
Foreman Cai added: "He made trouble at noon and scared all the customers away. There were not many customers in the afternoon."
Then other foremen echoed: "No, no one has done any work all afternoon."
"I heard from outside that our Guanya Bureau is going to be taken over by the Li family. Not only the land trading side, but also the commodity trading side, many merchants want to withdraw."
"Even the official bank had a cash run in the afternoon, with tens of thousands of taels of silver withdrawn in one afternoon."
Li Dacai's heart grew colder the more he listened outside.
Zhu Bai must have hated Li Shimao so much at this moment, how could he help go to Lao Zhu to plead for mercy?
But besides begging Zhu Bai, he had no other option at the moment.
When the foremen came out, Li Da went in bravely and bowed to Zhu Bai: "Your Highness, please save the dog."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows: "Master Li, can't I understand?"
Li Dacai blushed and said: "Quuzi is young and energetic, and he actually got into fights with others. Now he is locked up in the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division Prison."
He was embarrassed to say that Li Shimao couldn't bear the guest's anger and vented his anger, otherwise Zhu Bai would definitely be even more angry.
Zhu Bai waved his hand: "Don't panic. The Army and Horse Department will come and report to me later. If the commanders can't make a decision, I will personally try it. You go downstairs and wait."
Li Dacai hesitated to speak and could only walk around in the courtyard to wait. In fact, he had already asked someone to deliver a letter to the palace.
I wonder if Li Shufei has come up with something right now.
After a while, the five commanders also arrived and took turns reporting to Zhu Bai.
Finally, there is the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division.
When Zhu Bai heard Xu Du's command that seven of them could not defeat one, he suddenly became excited and said: "It's so powerful. Bring everyone on both sides to show me."
All the commanders were dumbfounded: Ah, Your Highness, that's not the point.
Wait for someone to stop down below.
Zhu Bai immediately pointed at Li Shimao: "Eh? Isn't this an agent from the Guanya Bureau?"
Then he pointed at the fat man: "Hey, isn't this the customer who was beaten by Manager Li this morning?"
Li Shimao was so ashamed that he bowed and said: "You are wrong, this villain. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
The fat man knelt down and said with snot and tears: "Please King Xiang to make the decision. The villain was beaten by seven of them. It's too miserable."
The five people who had originally looked disgusted all ordered and couldn't help laughing.
The seven people all had bruises and swollen noses and faces. The fat man didn't even have a scratch on his face, and he didn't know who was worse off.
The fat man blew his nose loudly and rambled that he came to Yingtian to visit relatives. He heard that the Yingtian Guanya Bureau was doing well, so he wanted to come here to broaden his horizons. Unexpectedly, he was beaten as soon as he entered the Guanya Bureau, and again when he came out.
Li Shimao was angry and resentful. He only blamed himself for judging people by their appearance, but he didn't realize that this damn fat man was extremely cunning. He pretended to be weak in front of Zhu Bai, and pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger behind his back. Now the evil person complained first.
