Chapter 52: Conflict

On the bustling streets of Yecheng, many things happen every day. No, as he spoke, a group of people gathered in another part of the street.

"Hey, what's going on up ahead?" a passerby asked a passer-by as the crowd blocked the road.

"It seems like two children are arguing. The vendor had been selling things all the time, and naturally witnessed the whole thing happening: "A little girl accidentally bumped into a teenager, and even though the little girl apologized, the boy refused to give up, so there was a lot of trouble." ”

This kind of trivial matter basically happens several times a day on this street, so passers-by are very puzzled: "How big is it, as for a group of people?"

The boy was dressed very luxuriously, and looked like the son of a rich man, and he asked the little girl to pay him ten taels of silver. ”

"What, there's such a thing? Let me see whose family this is. ”

“......”

While he was still talking, the situation in the crowd had reached the point of saber rattling.

"I didn't mean to hit you, and I've already apologized, why are you still biting me?"

"I don't care if you did it on purpose, anyway, you just bumped into me, and if you don't compensate today, you can't do it. ”

"But the price you said is too outrageous, ten taels of silver, how can I have so much money?!"

"Ten taels of silver is too much? I will give you less, my pair is worth hundreds of taels of silver, I didn't ask you to buy me another one is enough to give you face!"

"You ......"

The arrogant attitude of the young man made many passers-by unbearable, and an old man who was watching directly persuaded him: "This son, since the little girl has apologized to you, you might as well raise your noble hand and forgive her!"

"Old woman, what are you talking about?, master, did I ask you?" The old man's words did not make Zhang Xingchao have any reflection, but he said even more vigorously: "You care about her so much, then you can compensate for it."

"It's-"

"Why, why don't you speak? can't you afford it? If you can't afford it, get out, don't pretend to be a good person here!"

Zhang Xinchao's violent appearance made the few people who had just been persuaded on the side also shut up, and the crowd fell into an eerie silence, and everyone didn't want to speak, for fear that they would be involved in this matter if they were not careful.

Seeing that no one around dared to squeak anymore, Zhang Xingchao was even more arrogant, he walked directly to the little girl, and said in a flirtatious tone: "Say, how do you want to accompany me with these ten taels of silver." ”

The little girl didn't answer him, so he walked around the little girl and continued: "Look at your clothes, and you carry a basket of pigweed, and you don't look like a rich child, it seems that it is impossible for you to pay back." Since that's the case, then you can only use your body to pay it back, it just so happens that there is still a lack of a foot-pinching maid by my side, so you can follow me!"

With that, he reached out to grab the little girl, and the people around him showed regretful expressions when they saw this scene, they all knew what would happen if the little girl was taken away.

But because of the boy's deterrence just now, they didn't dare to step forward to dissuade them, so they could only condemn the boy's behavior in a whisper. The kind-hearted people just walked into the distance, trying to find the patrol of the yamen to take care of the affairs here, but they were only far away and could not quench their thirst.

Just as the boy's hand was about to touch the little girl, a person suddenly appeared in the crowd and grabbed the boy's hand.

Because the people came too quickly, everyone could only see a black shadow flashing into the middle of the crowd, and only when the person stood still did everyone see that this was a middle-aged uncle wearing a hat.

Seeing that someone suddenly came to harm his own business, Zhang Xingchao was very angry, and he said to the uncle: "What are you, dare to come to the bad master's business?"

"I'm just a passerby. I came out to remind you that there is nothing to say and there is no need to move your hands and feet. Being abused by the boy, the uncle was not angry, he said calmly.

"How does the little master like to do it, how do you care about it? Why, you protect her so much, is it the father of this little prostitute?" After breaking free from the middle-aged uncle's hand, Zhang Xingchao rubbed his sore wrist and scolded.

As soon as Zhang Xingchao's words were finished, the faces of the middle-aged man and the little girl became very ugly, obviously these vicious words touched some untouchable bottom lines of the two in front of them.

"You'd better keep your mouth clean. The middle-aged man warned in a cold voice.

"What? Are you really his father......?"

Before the boy finished speaking, the man suddenly burst out, and with a dodge, he pressed the boy to the ground, and said, "Apologize for what you just said." ”

"Master, why should I apologize?"

"Don't apologize, do you, I see how hard your mouth is?" As he spoke, the man pressed Zhang Xingchao's arm behind his back upwards until he heard the crunch of bones, but he still didn't intend to stop.

"Don't apologize?"

"Ahh

"Okay, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Just when the middle-aged man was about to make a ruthless move, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "Stop!"

Then the crowd was separated, and five men dressed in subordinate costumes were seen squeezing out of the crowd, and they all showed horrified expressions when they saw the boy being beaten.

One of them hurriedly shouted: "You, you, what are you doing, hurry up and stop me!"

"Oh! after beating the master, the next person came, you guys are really interesting!" The man didn't have any intention of letting go, he still pressed the boy, and his hands were still exerting force, and the boy's screams were escalating.

Seeing that the man not only did not listen to persuasion, but also intensified. Several subordinates were afraid that if this continued, Zhang Xingchao would be more seriously injured, so they hurriedly changed their tone and said, "Do you know who he is? He is the third son of the Zhang family, if he has three longs and two shorts, even if you run to the ends of the earth, there will be no place for you." ”

"The Zhang family, the son of the Zhang family is amazing, can he bully others at will?"

Seeing that the man's tone seemed to have slowed down, the subordinate then persuaded: "No, no, no, there must be some misunderstanding in this, strong man, you let our son go first, we have something to discuss." ”

"There's no need to discuss, if he doesn't apologize today, even if the head of the Zhang family comes, I won't let him go!" As he spoke, he broke the boy's arm again, looking at it like that, several people had no doubt that if they were pushing a little harder, the boy's arm was about to break.

But the young master is in the hands of others, and a few subordinates are not easy to be tough, so they can only persuade the young master euphemistically and make him admit his mistake and apologize.

Maybe it was the persuasion of a few people, or maybe the boy really couldn't bear the pain anymore, and he finally relented and apologized in a weak voice.

As soon as the boy apologized, he dragged the boy from the ground and pushed it to several subordinates.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the son, several subordinates hurriedly picked up the boy, wiped the boy's face again, slapped him with ashes, and someone checked the boy's arm, which was still slightly sprained before, it seems that the man is indeed merciful.

It stands to reason that the best solution at this point is to leave quickly. But the boy was used to being flamboyant, so as soon as he got out of danger, he pointed at the middle-aged man and scolded: "You bastard, you actually hurt your third master, I have to give you some color today." Hurry up and clean him up for me. ”

"This ......"

"Why, you are disobedient, be careful that I will go back and tell Uncle Li, let him take good care of you disobedient minions!"

Hearing Uncle Li's name, several subordinates were so frightened that they beat a spirit. That one is called Uncle Li, but he is the strictest steward of the Zhang family, if he is caught, then he will still have his life? Therefore, due to the boy's threat, several subordinates attacked the man despite their reluctance.

But where are these subordinates who can only do some fur kung fu are the opponents of men, although several people join forces, they are still suppressed by men. And if you are not careful, you will be beaten away by a man.

This is a good bustling street, and the street is quiet due to the fight of several people.

"Damn, these people are really useless" Seeing that several of his subordinates joined forces and couldn't help the middle-aged man, Zhang Xingchao was secretly anxious: "If he beats these subordinates down after a while, won't it be my turn again?"

Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Xingchao had already thought of a way out, and as his eyes continued to drift, a person's figure entered his field of vision again, officially the little girl.

At least he was so busy looking at the man that he ignored the little girl, and at this moment he found that the little girl was standing on the sidelines staring worriedly at the middle-aged man who was fighting, and was still looking around, as if looking for help.

How could Zhang Xingchao miss this opportunity, the little girl is obviously a middle-aged man all the way, as long as she is subdued, it is not easy to control the man.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xingchao had already quietly touched the little girl, and at this time, the man was busy with a few subordinates, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Xingchao's small movements. The little girl, too, did not notice that danger was slowly approaching her. By the time she saw Zhang Xingchao, Zhang Xingchao had already touched her five meters away.

With Zhang Xingchao's treacherous smile, he pounced on the little girl: "Now I'll see where you're going!"

But before he could catch the little girl, he suddenly felt that his arm was grabbed again.

"Who is it?" Zhang Xingchao's heart was suddenly startled, this familiar situation made him feel bad. Fortunately, when he looked ahead, he realized that it was not the middle-aged man just now who caught him, but a teenager who couldn't beat him a few years earlier.

At this time, the young man was panting, obviously just after strenuous exercise, but his hand was firmly grasping Zhang Xingchao's arm.

"Is she something you can touch?"
