Chapter Forty-Nine: The Dead Child
"This master, why did you come here suddenly, did something happen?"
As soon as the guy in the store saw Ji Gang standing at the door, he stepped forward and said to Ji Gang with a flattering face.
"I'll take a look at how you sell alcohol on weekdays, why you can't make a profit at all."
Ji Gang said, walked into the shop, and sat down straight towards the stool in the corner.
Chen Li stood at the door and was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the four brocade guards who were still standing at the door.
"These four masters, are you standing here? If someone wants to come in and buy wine, I'm afraid that a few masters will directly scare them away. ”
Chen Li's voice was neither loud nor small, and it happened to reach Ji Gang's ears.
Ji Gang sneered, "You said that if someone wants to come to buy wine, how many of them will scare people away?" Then I want to ask you, if they are all open and doing business like you, how can anyone come to pay! ”
Ji Gang said, and the long sword in his hand slammed into the table beside him.
The desktop cracked in response, Chen Li swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and his eyes didn't dare to move as he looked at the table smashed by Ji Gang.
"This master, I don't understand what you mean, we have always been conscientious and conscientious in selling wine, why did you say such a thing, master."
"Are you a conscientious seller of alcohol? What about the boy today, bring him to me. ”
Ji Gang didn't want to continue drinking Chen Li anymore.
He had already heard about the child, and this time he mainly came to see how the child was doing.
If the people in the child's family go to report to the official, this matter is really played by the minister in front of Zhu Di, and it must not be closed at all.
"What kid, this master, I'm afraid you have heard the rumors about the wine shop outside, many people outside see that the wine we sell is expensive, so they have been saying bad things about us outside, you can't believe it."
If it weren't for Zhu Di telling Ji Gang these news, Ji Gang might not really believe his words.
"You don't have to say these things to deceive me, just say what happened to that child."
Chen Li hesitated, he turned his head and happened to meet the four brocade guards behind him.
Only then did he realize that Ji Gang had come prepared, and he had come specifically to question him about these things.
"Master, to be honest, that kid is really his own fault, and I can't be blamed for this at all."
Chen Li still wanted to quibble, but the brocade guard behind him kicked him to the ground.
And more and more people gradually surrounded the outside of the shop.
"Isn't this the guy at the liquor store, it seems that this is what he calls the powerful shopkeeper?"
"His shopkeeper is teaching him a lesson, which means that those people don't know what this kid Chen Li has done in the wine shop!"
"Well played!"
Ji Gang heard the commotion outside, so he stood up, clenched the long sword in his hand, and stood at the door of the shop looking at the crowd at the door.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, listen to me."
As Ji Gang shouted, the onlookers quieted down and looked at Ji Gang.
"This person is indeed the one we hired to sell wine, but we are very sorry for everyone, we didn't expect him to be this kind of person, we will change people to look at the store in the future, and I hope everyone can accept our heartfelt apology."
After Ji Gang finished speaking, he continued to ask about the child.
"Another question is, you should have seen Chen Li and a child in front of the store today, I want to know, how is that child now, does anyone know his current condition."
After Ji Gang asked this question, he found that everyone's faces showed a trace of pity and sympathy.
Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Ji Gang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Is there something wrong with that kid? Why are you all on this face? ”
The man at the door was silent for a long time before anyone spoke.
"That child is no longer good, he has been beaten to death by Chen Li, and now the child's body has been thrown into the mass grave."
Ji Gang was stunned, he was stunned for a long time before he turned to look at Chen Li, who was still kneeling on the ground behind him.
"You killed that child?"
"Master, that kid doesn't have any relatives, if he kills him, he will be killed, and no one will report to the official, don't worry about this!"
Chen Li knelt on the ground and looked at Ji Gang, looking at Ji Gang with expectant eyes as he spoke, he hoped that Ji Gang could let him go.
But Ji Gang was originally scolded by Zhu Di before coming here, and now he heard that the child was dead, and the anger in Ji Gang's heart had accumulated to the highest value at this moment.
He kicked Chen Li out of the ground.
Chen Li slammed into the wall behind him, and a mouthful of blood spat out uncontrollably from his mouth.
"You brute, that's just a child, he didn't have a good future, you just killed the child!"
Ji Gang was angry, but that child was dead, and now no matter what Ji Gang said, it was useless.
The crowd outside watched Ji Gang kick Chen Li, and they couldn't help but applaud.
"You should clean up this brute!"
"This brute has also killed many children before, but because most of the children have families, although they are poor, their father doesn't dare to make too much trouble!"
"Official, please hurry up and take Chen Li away, it's best to be put in prison, no matter how hard the backer behind him is, it won't be as hard as His Majesty is today!"
Listening to the noise at the door, Ji Gang's face couldn't help but turn red.
But fortunately, he was originally black, and a little red would not be obvious.
"Pull him up."
Ji Gang turned his head to look at Jin Yiwei.
Two brocade guards stepped forward and pulled Chen Li, who was lying on the ground, up.
"Take us to the mass grave to find the child's body."
Chen Li knew that he couldn't resist at this moment, so he could only nod obediently.
Ji Gang and Jin Yiwei took Chen Li out of the shop, and everyone was making way for them.
Chen Li was carried to the front, and Ji Gang followed behind.
And after they set off, many people behind them also followed.
They walked for nearly a quarter of an hour before finally reaching the mass grave.
"Right there."
Chen Li was thrown to the ground by Jinyiwei, and he trembled and stretched out a finger not far away.
Ji Gang followed Chen Li's finger and looked at a small mound not far away.
A small corpse was just discarded there.
Ji Gang's heart swelled up with discomfort, he slowly walked towards the small mound, and when he got closer, he looked at the child covered in blood, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, walked in front of Chen Li again, and kicked Chen Li's body heavily.
Chen Li was kicked until he was unable to struggle, and the Jinyi guard beside Ji Gang was also pulling him, and he finally stopped moving.
