Chapter 8: Estrangement
"Not convinced? Come and hit me? Come on, come on! β
On the north street of Guangling City, under the stunned gaze of a circle of onlookers, Xie An shouted at the local snakehead Liu Fu and the evil slaves under him with a ruffian face.
Although in the hearts of the people around him, this rich son seems to be a benevolent and righteous man who sees injustice and draws a knife to help, and intends to stand up for the helpless daughter of the Wang family, but this son's expression and conversation look like a villain no matter how you look at it, and it feels weird to be honest.
I have to say that Xie An is too flamboyant and arrogant at the moment, and this attitude is like having two words on his head, fortunately Liang Qiuwu, eldest grandson Xiangyu, and Jin Ling'er are not here, otherwise, the three daughters will probably cover their faces and run away, because this is really embarrassing.
Their husband, the dignified scholar of the court's criminal department, was entangled with a bunch of ruffians, and there were such shoddy words to provoke each other, which really damaged the face of the court's important ministers.
But on the other hand, it also proves that Xie An is really angry at this time, don't look at him a few days ago, he also molested this woman surnamed Wang, but he never acted rough with her, not so much molesting, but joking, of course, but this explanation Wang Xin will not admit it.
But in any case, Xie An just took advantage of Wang Xin verbally, after all, in his opinion, using words to molest a woman from a good family may be called a romance, but a ruffian like this in front of him is violent to a woman, this is purely the style of a villain and a thug, Lord Xie has not fallen to this, and he does not plan to fall into this.
Facing Xie An's provocation, Liu Fu couldn't help it after all, seeing that Xie An was dressed like an ordinary person earlier, he didn't dare to provoke rashly, but now. He didn't care about it so much, after all, if he kowtowed to the Wang girl in front of so many onlookers and apologized, or left silently, he wouldn't want to mix up in Guangling in the future.
"Good...... Good boy, you brought this on yourself! - Call me! Liu Fatzi, who was trembling with anger, pointed at Xie An with his right hand, and shouted angrily.
Compared with Liu Fu's impatience, Xie An seemed much calmer, shook the fan in his hand, and said slowly. "Evil slaves A, B, C, up!"
Evil slaves A, B, and C?
Anyone else with this name?
Beside Xie An, Wang Xin grabbed his sleeve with palpitations, and looked at Gou Gong, Xiao Li, and Xu Jie who stood up with a stunned face.
I saw that the three of them were full of embarrassment and lowered their heads. I can't tell what the expression is.
It's terrible......
The dignified Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple was named Evil Slave A, and Gou Gong guessed without doubt that if the brothers of their Dongling Congregation learned about this matter, I am afraid that they would all have to laugh off their big teeth.
On the other hand, Xiao Li and Xu Jie looked at each other, maybe they were probably discussing similar things, and secretly smiled bitterly at their own adults until now, and they have not given up the idea of being addicted to evil and young addiction for a while.
But think about it. They didn't dare to say it, after all, they disturbed the interest of their own adults, and the consequences were a bit serious, maybe they, Lord Xie, would kick them back to Jijing in a fit of anger. They also plan to see the Qinglou in Guangling.
So, the resentment in my heart had to be vented on the gang of short-sighted guys and evil slave thugs in front of me.
Hey, let's play with them!
It has been seen that more than ten people on the other side do not know any martial arts, and Gou Gong and the other three people glanced at each other. There was also a little inexplicable interest in his heart, and he rushed forward with a shout. It seems that they are full of country evil slave posture who does not understand martial arts, who would have thought that the three of them were first-class assassins in martial arts.
This made Wang Xin and the onlookers secretly worried about the three of them, after all, like these ordinary people, the benchmark for their comparative advantages between the two sides is still in the category of numbers, who knows, Gou Gong, Xiao Li, Xu Jie can easily kill those evil slaves back and forth ten times.
Pity those dozen evil slaves, they are used to acting in front of the people of Guangling on weekdays, but this time they kicked the iron plate, don't look at Gou Gong, Xiao Li, and Xu Jie, the three of them shouted one by one, and they got rid of the rural buns who had never seen the world, but in fact, they were the assassin elites of the Dongling and Jinling people.
"Oops!" Xu Jie, who was hit in the back by a punch, pretended to scream, flipped his right hand, and removed the hand joints of a vicious slave, and the person fell to the ground and turned over and over in pain.
"You dare to hit me?" Xiao Li, who was punched in the head, flashed with a fierce look on his face, and actually lifted a vicious slave up, held it on his head and spun it for a while, and slammed it to the ground, it seemed that he was relying on brute force, but in fact, he had secretly removed the man's hand joints.
Joint skills, the close-range fist and foot tricks of the assassins in Jinling, the most representative figure is undoubtedly Jin Ling'er, this woman first confronted [Yan Hu Ji] Liang Qiu Dance, she had removed the latter's right hand and arm, but unfortunately Liang Qiu Dance is worthy of being the first combat force of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the dislocated joint will be restored to its original position by controlling the stretching of the muscles alone, if others have this thing?
Seeing Xiao Li and Xu Jie scuffling with those evil slaves, Gou Gong unconsciously oozed a little cold sweat on his head, especially when he saw that the two of them were still enjoying themselves.
It's a shame......
Even if the adults told us not to expose our martial arts at will, we wouldn't be able to do this, right?
How dirty is the ground......
With a bitter smile in his heart, Gou Gong suddenly noticed a fist flying in front of him and smashed him in the chest.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Gou Gong looked at the fist that was still close to his chest with a strange expression, and then raised his head and looked at the owner of the fist with a complicated expression, he really couldn't figure out how such a guy could dare to come out and be embarrassed; And the evil slave also looked at Gou Gong dumbfounded, as if he was still wondering why this guy who seemed to be able to take down with one punch didn't even shake his body after eating his own punch.
At that moment, Gou Gong and the evil slave who beat him were silent.
After three breaths, Gou Gong sighed secretly in his heart, took two steps back, covered his chest and pretended to be in pain, pointed at the evil slave and scolded, "You...... How dare you hit me? As he spoke, he took out a bamboo fan from his bosom, and before the evil slave could react. grabbed the placket of his clothes, and the bamboo fan in his right hand struck him on the head and face, only to hit the ground, and the evil slave hugged his head and wailed.
After a long stick of incense, the more than ten evil slaves were put down by Gou Gong and the other three one by one, and the whole process was ...... Well, it's quite gratifying, at least some of the onlookers couldn't help but laugh out loud, after all, it was too [tragic], and the dozen or so evil slaves fell to the ground and wailed. But the three of Gou Gong were also miserable, covered in dust and embarrassed.
"Good!" I don't know who among the onlookers secretly shouted, and then everyone applauded Gou Gong and the others, compared to Xiao Li and Xu Jie's smug expressions. Gou Gong lowered his head and shook his fan, secretly praying that his shameful scene was best not to be seen by his peers.
Suddenly, Gou Gong seemed to sense something, raised his head and looked at the second floor of the restaurant, only to see that near the window, there was a scholar looking at him with a smile. One of the shopkeepers looked in this direction with a long mouth, a look of incredulity.
"What am I talking about?" On the second floor of the restaurant, the scholar surnamed Mo smiled and said to the shopkeeper next to him.
"It's really strange," the guy rubbed his eyes. said with an incredulous face, "Then Liu Fu's more than ten people can't beat the three family members of that son?" -- Those guys are pretty good on weekdays......"
"It also depends on who you meet!" The scholar smiled slightly, and slowly raised his glass to drink. After glancing at Gou Gong, Xiao Li, and Xu Jie on the street downstairs, he muttered as if talking to himself. "It looks like a disgraced face, but in fact, the roots are unscathed...... Oh, the way these three people are doing, assassins? ββTwo masters who are proficient in joint skills, joint skills...... The people of the Guardian Jingxia? Or is it the woman in Jinling? It's just that Weidi is still good, that woman in Jinling is not easy to mess with...... There is also the guy with a fan among the three, who seems to be still above the first two in martial arts...... Why did these people come to Guangling? β
"What did you say?" The guy didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked suspiciously.
"It's okay, it's okay," the scholar smiled slightly, and then looked intently at Xie An on the street below, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "It seems that there is an amazing person in Guangling......"
Eldest grandson Wu ...... The eldest grandson of the Great Liang? Or is it the eldest grandson of Guanzhong? Or, Jijing's eldest grandson's family?
But then again, the three family members under this person are really foreign assassins, and the Guangling assassins will not turn a blind eye to such unruly rules and making trouble on other people's turf......
Don't you know the sinister ways of the world? Or is it ...... Fearless?
Glancing at the ruffian-looking rich boy on the street downstairs, the scholar raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass.
"It seems that something is going to happen to this Guangling......"
While the scholar was muttering to himself, Xie An was looking at the sweaty Liu Fu with a ruffian face.
I have to say that as the head snake of Guangling, Liu Fu is not an uninformed guy, seeing that more than a dozen of his subordinates were all put down by the other party, he knew that he was in big trouble this time.
Seeing the three unkind faces of the other party, Liu Fu took a deep breath, took the initiative to trot to Xie An, licked his face and said, "Eldest grandson, no, no, no, eldest grandson butler, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan......"
I have to say that this guy is also smart, and he knows that he can't escape today, rather than being caught and beaten by the three of Gou Gong, it is better to automatically step forward and give in, at least one less beating.
Seeing that the other party was condescending, Xie Anxin sneered, but he didn't mean to look down on the other party, in fact, he felt that this fat man was still knowledgeable about current affairs, and it was no wonder that this guy could become the head snake of Guangling, but now Xie An made up his mind to vent his evil anger for Wang Xin.
"Aren't you going to hit the butler?" After putting on a good stance, Xie An said slowly, and at the same time patted his cheek with an expression of underbeating.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Liu Fu's eyes, and then he said with a smile, "Isn't this a joke with the eldest grandson's housekeeper!" β
"Oh, just kidding......" Xie An nodded in realization, then raised his right hand and slapped the other party's left cheek.
"You...... You ......" Covering the painful left side of his face, Liu Fu looked at Xie An in disbelief, as the local snake head of Guangling City, he was slapped in front of countless onlookers around, if he endured it and kept silent, he would not be able to mix here again in the future.
Thinking of this, Liu Fu's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, don't be too ...... to deceive others."
He wasn't done yet. saw Xie An raise his right hand again and slapped him on the left side of his face.
"What's wrong with lying to you? Not convinced? I don't accept you to beat me! β
"......" looked at Xie An, who looked ruffian, and Liu Fu had a vague illusion, as if the other party was more like a rampant and domineering ruffian than himself.
Seeing Gou Gong and the other three standing beside Xie An, especially Na Xiao Li, who kept clenching his fists and only pinching his bones to the ground, Liu Fu didn't dare to make a move after all, although he was angry in his heart.
"Serve ...... The little one ......" he nodded repeatedly.
Huh? Is this softening? It's boring!
Secretly regretted it. Xie An smacked his lips and said slowly, "The housekeeper is a reasonable person, you can tell it yourself, childe...... No. Is it right for the housekeeper to beat you? β
Leaking your mouth, right?
Muttering in his heart, Liu Fuchen smiled and nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes!" β
"Where's that pair?"
"Yes, in ......" Liu Fu was dumbfounded, and said in his heart how to answer himself.
As if seeing through the other party's thoughts, Xie An slapped the other party on the left side of the face again. "Why are you so stupid, the butler's right hand, don't you just slap your left cheek?" It's called handy! β
What is the reason for this?
"......" Liu Fu looked at Xie An stupidly. He felt as if he had bumped into his seniors, look at what he said, is it like that?
"Yes, yes!" After being stunned for a while. Liu Fu nodded again and again and said with a smile. "The right hand of the eldest grandson's housekeeper, isn't it just the villain's left face......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xie An raise his right hand again, this time with a backhand, and a slap on the right side of his face.
The onlookers clearly noticed that Liu Fu's whole face was flushed, trembling with anger, his eyes looked at Xie An deadly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't kill people on the ground, Your Excellency don't want to ...... Don't ......"
After hesitating for a while, Liu Fu finally didn't dare to say the words [deceitful too much], because he bet that as long as he said this, the rich boy in front of him who was even more than a villain would definitely still be the same set of words.
"The housekeeper is good for you," seeing Liu Fu's angry expression on his face, Xie An said slowly, "The housekeeper has a lot of strength, and he just swollen the left side of your face, is this good-looking?" ββCan't balance it? If you fall ill and walk to the left, won't the housekeeper be upset? β
"......" Liu Fu opened his mouth and was speechless.
I've seen bullies, but I've never seen such bullies, as a fish on the chopping board, he really doesn't know how to deal with the other party's words.
"Yes...... What the eldest grandson butler said was ......" Liu Fu barely smiled a little.
"I just hit you on the left cheek three times, and then I paid you back on the right cheek, is there still four left?" Xie An looked like he was very good at arithmetic.
"Yes...... No! Twice, it's two......" Liu Fu looked at Xie An with a shocked face, secretly thinking in his heart, he was almost taken into the ditch by this guy.
"Twice, well, it seems like this......" Smacking his lips, Xie An slapped Liu Fu's right cheek twice, and said with a smile, "It's flat now, right?" β
Feeling the burning pain on his face, Liu Fu nodded with a smile on his face.
"Aren't you going to thank the butler? ββDo you understand the rules? β
After beating yourself, let yourself thank him?
Liu Fu scolded secretly in his heart, but at the moment, he couldn't afford the slightest complaint, so he hurriedly thanked Xie An, so as not to anger the other party and be beaten again, but Xie An's next sentence almost scared his soul.
"Anyway, the housekeeper doesn't seem to have a good grasp of the strength, the left side of the face is obviously more planted than the right face, which is not good, you say, right?" Xie An turned his head to look at Gou Gong and the others.
After all, it was a henchman who had been by Xie An's side for a long time, where would Gou Gong and the others not know the intentions of their own adults, and nodded again and again and said, "Lord Steward, the younger ones also look at the left side of their faces that are more swollen than the right side...... The housekeeper is not authentic, beating people is beating people, and making people sick because of this, this is against the word chivalry! β
Listening to the words of Gou Gong and the others, Liu Fu couldn't wait to bite these guys to death.
"That'...... What is the eldest grandson butler going to do? β
"It's easy!" With a light snort, Xie An suddenly shouted, "Grit your teeth for me!" β
Liu Fu subconsciously gritted his teeth, and saw Xie An open his bow left and right, and slapped him more than ten times in a row, only to swell Liu Fu's cheeks.
Secretly glancing at Xie An, who seemed to be a little tired, Liu Fu didn't say a word, he admitted it. Because he knew that he had bumped into his peers this time, and looking at the other party's tricks, wouldn't he be more clever than him?
"Do you know what to do?" Glancing at Liu Fu, Xie An said slowly, "It's all out to mix, hurry up!" - Don't follow the girl! This time, I don't want you to break your hands and feet, and you don't want those tricks, kowtow to people and apologize. That's it! β
may be because of the fact that he has been with Jin Ling'er for too long, Xie An's black words.
"......" Liu Fu glanced at Xie An in surprise, as if he wondered why this rich kid was talking about the rivers and lakes, and glanced at Wang Xin, who was beaten all over his body by his order, and he gritted his teeth. knelt down and kowtowed to the person and apologized, and then led a dozen of his evil slaves away with a calm face.
Indifferently looked at Liu Fu and his gang leaving, Xie An had no intention of stopping him, after all, the other party had already complied with everything, and if he was entangled, that was his violation of the morality of the rivers and lakes, which was reasonable. Even before marrying Jin Ling'er, Xie An understood.
"Deflated?" Xie An turned his head to look at Wang Xin, who was still holding his sleeve beside him.
At this time, Wang Xin realized that she was still holding the sleeve of the hateful guy in front of her, and her face turned red. Hurriedly let go of his hand and said stubbornly, "Nosy, I didn't call you to help!" β
"Huh." Xie An didn't think anything about it when he heard this, and said with a smile. "That's not possible, you're the uncle's fancy ...... The object of the molestation was bullied by others, is this like words? - Look at this little face, tsk, it's really unbearable......" As he spoke, he gently lifted Wang Xin's chin with the end of the folding fan in his hand.
......Seeing that Xie An was not dead and teasing himself again, Wang Xin was angry, and his original good impression of Xie An standing up for him suddenly disappeared without a trace, his face was red, like an enraged leopard, staring at Xie An.
Xie An smiled and said with a grin, "What? Got in love with the uncle? Oh, this can't be done, the uncle has a wife......"
There is a wife room who still comes out to flirt with a woman from a good family?
Wang Xin secretly equated Xie An with the rich kid who was full of food in her heart, thinking that it was the other party who saved her, she resisted the seductive thought of slapping that hateful face with a wooden stick, and glanced at Xie An with disdain.
At this time, an old man walked from among the onlookers who gradually dispersed, and said to Wang Xin with a worried face, "Child, are you okay?" - Don't blame the old man for not coming out to help you, it's really ......."
Looking at the guilty expression on the old man's face, Wang Xin hurriedly said, "Uncle Sun, don't take it to heart, I understand ......"
The old man nodded with guilt on his face, and then sighed and said, "If your father is still here, then Fat Liu will not dare to be so domineering......"
"Yes......" Wang Xin smiled bitterly.
"Thank you for this son's righteous action and saving this hard-working child......" The old man arched his hand towards Xie An.
"The old man is very polite," Xie An smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said, "When the road is uneven, you should draw a knife to help, the kid is just a gesture!" β
"Seeing that the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, don't you feel awkward when these words come out of your mouth?" Wang Xin glanced at Xie An with disdain, after all, the latter had been teasing her for several days.
"Yes?" Xie An blinked his eyes in a strange way, and Wang Xin was so angry that he couldn't wait to find a wooden stick immediately.
And at this moment, Gou Gong asked curiously, "Old man, you just said that if this young lady's father is still here, those people will definitely not dare to act so recklessly...... This young lady's father, is it some kind of amazing character? β
The old man sighed, nodded and said, "This child's father was originally the county lieutenant of my Guangling City, but unfortunately he was imprisoned four years ago......"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xie An's face change slightly, and he turned his head to look at Wang Xin deadly.
For some reason, Wang Xin felt that the hateful guy in front of her suddenly became strange.
"You...... What are you doing looking at me like that? β
"Your father......" narrowed his eyes, and Xie An said in a deep voice that was almost questioning, "Your father was once the county lieutenant of Guangling City?" β
"Yes......" Wang Xin nodded hesitantly, and at the moment she nodded, she clearly saw that a trace of anger and hostility flashed in the eyes of the hateful guy in front of her, and even, there was a bit of contempt and disgust in it, just like she looked at him a few days ago.
"......" stared at Wang Xin for a while, Xie An took a deep breath, took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms, put it in Wang Xin's palm, and said coldly, "These ten taels of silver should be used to compensate you for the loss of business caused by me and a few others in the past few days!" - Let's go! With that, he turned and left.
"......" looked at Xie An, who was gradually moving away, Wang Xin only felt that her heart was tight, and she was extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't understand why that guy had been grinning at her before, even if she had broken his head, but when she heard that her father had been the county lieutenant of Guangling City, he had that terrible expression.
The expression was a mixture of anger, hatred, disgust, and disdain......
"Wait!" For some reason, Wang Xin couldn't help but shout out to Xie An.
"......" Xie An stopped when he heard this, and glanced back at her indifferently, just like when he teased her a few days ago.
"Thank you for saving me...... You like cherries, don't you? I'll pick some fresh ...... for you tomorrow."
"No need!" Almost indifferently, Xie An turned and walked away.
Wang Xin opened her mouth and watched Xie An walk away, as if a voice had told her that that hateful guy would not come again from today on......
Damn it......
It's obvious that he should hate him, why did he show that disgusted look?
"Whoever asks for your money, take it back! - You're good to go! Don't come back! Wang Xin shouted angrily, and even she didn't know why she was so angry.
Why?
Why did he become so strange after hearing that his father was the county lieutenant of Guangling City? He must have a good temper......
Seeing Xie An and his party disappear into the street, Wang Xin bit her lip and felt an inexplicable tingling pain in her heart, as if it was caused by being disgusted by that hateful guy.
At the same time, Gou Gong, Xiao Li, and Xu Jie, who were following Xie An, look at me, I look at you, and no one dared to talk, because they could see that their adults were in an extremely bad mood at the moment.
"Speaking of which, the punch that Childe just started was not small, and one punch knocked the fat man back three steps in a row, and knocked out two of his teeth......"
It may be that seeing that his adult's calm face expression was a little terrifying, Xiao Li wanted to liven up the atmosphere, and praised Xie An's deeds.
"Rare and strange," as if he had guessed Xiao Li's intentions, Xu Jie said with admiration, "Our son-in-law has learned to punch for three years under the careful teaching of the eldest young grandmother, and I can't stand the punch of the son, not to mention the fat man......" The eldest young grandmother in his mouth was undoubtedly referring to the eldest housemother of Xie Mansion, [Yanhu Ji] Liangqiu Dance.
But what made the two of them feel regretful, Xie An, who was walking in front, had no intention of making a stubble, and his face was calm, and a kind of power of the superior was faintly infiltrated, which made them feel affected, swallowed their saliva, and did not dare to speak again.
I don't know how long it took, Xie An, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around, and said, "Gou Gong, after lunch, you wait to go to the lotus pond in the north of the city with your son!" His words are full of irrefutable meanings.
"......" Gou Gong opened his mouth and said cautiously, "Aren't you going to tease that little girl anymore?" ββI thought it was funny this morning......"
With a faint glance, Xie An turned around and walked towards the distance of the street.
"Ah, that was this morning...... Suddenly no interest! β
The county lieutenant of Guangling City, that was one of the local officials that Xie An hated the most when he was in the Su family in Guangling.
