The ruffian known as the fourth master heard Luo Niangzi say this, pushed through the crowd and came to the counter, stroked his chin with his hand, and turned around Luo Niangzi with a pair of thief eyes.

"Good looks! If you are willing to accompany me for one night, how about letting you go?" the scoundrels laughed lewdly.

Luo Niangzi's husband hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Fourth master, what does she know as a woman, don't worry about her." I gave me two days, and I sent the money to the lord's house. ”

"It's okay, right now, you have to give four taels of silver. He grabbed a reason and didn't let go, and used the topic to play.

Everyone in the people dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, this ruffian surnamed Chen, who was known as the fourth master, was just a miscellaneous person who could be bullied by anyone on the street in the past, and the whole person was very bad.

In the past two months, Chen Si has been mixed up with a gang, and he has been reused for his ability to extort and extort, so he has trembled. Cheng led a group of men to run rampant in the neighborhood.

There was that timid and afraid of things, for fear of getting into trouble, and sneaked away from the loophole. Although osmanthus cake is delicious, it is not as important as one's own life.

Yinping supported Tu Manfen, her legs trembling. Although she was loyal, when had she ever come into contact with such a ruffian so closely?

Tu Manfen's pretty face was also slightly pale. Covered it with his sleeve, quietly plucked a golden hairpin from his head, and held it tightly in his hand.

Only Mr. Ning is not afraid, such a ruffian who is begging for a living at the bottom is just for money, and he doesn't want to get into trouble.

The way she and Tu Manfen dress is not something they can afford to mess with. This is also why, Zhao Si obviously saw the two of them, but he only pretended not to see them, and only cared about blackmailing Luo Niangzi and his wife.

Mr. Ning quickly thought in his mind about how to help Luo Niangzi escape this catastrophe.

It's just that gangs have been collecting protection money for a long time. Even if there is no Chen Si, there are Zhang Si and Li Si.

Besides, Mr. Ning knows that these gangs are righteous in their work, and as long as they are paid stores, they will never be harassed again, and they will help these small businesses deal with some bad customers.

However, the protection fee is always collected in the middle of the month. Receiving it twice a month is really out of the normal range. met this Chen Si again and took the opportunity to take advantage of it, which became the current situation.

Mr. Ning's thoughts spun quickly, and only a few breaths of time passed.

Mrs. Luo's husband was so worried that he was about to cry. Although his pastry shop business is good, he only earns four or five taels of silver a month except for shop rent and labor. If you pay four taels more, this month will not only be done in vain, but also at a loss.

"Fourth master, look at a small business like mine, I don't have money to eat if I pay two taels, wouldn't it cost us our lives to pay four taels. I also hope that the fourth master, you have a lot of adults, spare us this suffering. ”

"Okay," Chen Si smiled maliciously, and pointed at Luo Niangzi behind him: "As long as you are willing to accompany me for one night, I don't want these two taels." ”

Luo Niangzi's eyes shot hatred, this person provoked her again and again, and repeatedly teased her with evil words, she really couldn't bear it!

She picked up a drawer of freshly steamed osmanthus cakes, and put her head on Chen Si's head.

The osmanthus cake has just come out of the pot, and it is very hot and steaming. Chen Si didn't expect her to have the courage, and she was caught off guard and was covered with a straight face.

"Ahh The subordinates who followed him also shook their hands and feet, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Luo Niangzi lifted a rolling pin, rushed out of the counter, and slapped Chen Si and the others in the face.

When her husband saw it, he knew that the situation was irreparable, and rushed out with a fire tongs in his hand. Chen Si has endured Luo Niangzi's nonsense for a long time. What man can endure such humiliation?

At this time, the blood was surging, and he didn't care about thinking about the consequences of offending the gang behind Chen Si, so he fought first.

The situation changed rapidly, and Tu Manfen was dumbfounded. She never thought that Ning Niangzi, who was still laughing and talking to Mr. Ning just now, would be so strong.

Mr. Ning sighed in his heart. This Luo Niangzi is still the hot temper of the past, trying to be happy for a while, and she doesn't want endless troubles in the future.

The people watched this bustle, and from time to time they kicked a few times to get angry. These are all neighbors in the neighborhood, who hasn't been bullied by these ruffians? Anyway, there are so many people, who knows that they have also been out of the way.

Just when everyone was beating the water dogs, a team of black-clothed catchers separated the crowd with water and fire sticks in their hands, and asked, "What's the matter?"

As soon as everyone saw the clothes on their bodies, they shivered in unison.

There are many yamen in Beijing, but there are only a few who have the power to arrest them. A Jingzhao Mansion, a Xiao Cavalry Guard, a Criminal Department, and a Dali Temple.

Dali Temple rarely cares about the affairs of the ordinary people, and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion are all children who grew up in Beijing, and the people are not very afraid.

Xiao Cavalry Guard is resolute and unsmiling, and I heard that everyone who is in prison will not come out. Even if the case is ironclad, because of the cruel methods, the people will naturally be more afraid.

And the arrest of the criminal department was just an ornament in the past. Until it was assigned to Wang Leyu's subordinates, his style suddenly became fierce.

And what appeared in front of them at this time was the arrest of Kuai, which was subordinate to the Criminal Department.

The black-clothed hunter appeared in front of everyone, and the atmosphere was condensed. Everyone stopped together, and Luo Niangzi unwillingly gave Chen Si a few more sticks, before throwing away the rolling pin in her hand, and said: "The woman told the official, this person came to the door repeatedly to blackmail and speak ill of her. The women were angry, and they were angry for a while. ”

Chen Si and a few scoundrels he brought were beaten to the ground holding their heads and screaming. Among them, the most miserable is Chen Si, whose head and face were scalded by the freshly baked osmanthus cake, and his flesh and blood are blurry and miserable.

The black-clothed catcher who took the lead couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, he had never seen a ruffian beaten like this. This proprietress is too tough!

He looked around and asked, "Has anyone testified against you?"

Where he made eye contact, everyone's eyes averted. It's one thing to beat a reservoir dog, but to confront it on the spot, you can't help but think more about your own life.

Luo Niangzi's husband sighed in his heart, covered his face and squatted down. Finished!

was happy for a while, and was caught by the criminal department. And no one is willing to testify, how can a small citizen like him fight a lawsuit with a powerful gang?

Luo Niangzi stalked her neck, sent her hands forward, and said angrily: "I did the thing, and the adults will catch me back!"

"Lady!" her husband took her behind him, and said to the catcher: "My lord, she is a woman, how can she beat these people." It's all done by the grass people, you catch me back. ”

His face was ordinary and wooden, and Tu Manfen was still muttering in his heart before, thinking that Luo Niangzi was a flower inserted in cow dung.
