Chapter 15 Beating someone in the street

 No one expected that the store owner would suddenly throw something away. Ye Qinglian screamed and covered her face. The second aunt was beaten before she could avoid it, and her eyes widened in anger.

  "Okay, you! You're unreasonable and you hit someone! I, I..."

  She looked around, picked up a stone at her feet and threw it back: "I told you to hit me!"

  This move completely intensified the conflict, and the store owner's face Ferociously, he picked up the rolling pin and smashed it at them.

  "I will do justice for God today and teach you criminals a lesson!"

  He rounded his arms and exerted all his strength, hitting the stick several times, causing the second aunt and Ye Anhao to scream and run away in panic, without any chance of fighting back. force.

  The scene was chaotic for a while. Ye Qinglian was pushed among them. Seeing that the stick was about to fall on her, she closed her eyes tightly in fear. A big hand suddenly stretched out from her side and firmly stopped the stick in mid-air.

  The red-eyed shopkeeper was startled when he saw a resolute face, and his eyes were filled with frost.

  The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and tried to pull the stick back with both hands, but Ye Zhuoyu flipped his wrist and easily took the stick into his hand.

  Then he grabbed the store owner's arm and twisted it behind his back, pressing him hard on the stall, all in one movement.

  Ye Qinglian, her second aunt and others all breathed a sigh of relief and stood beside Ye Zhuoyu proudly as if they had a backer.

  "In the clear sky and in the white sun, you, a seller, are beating people in the street?"

  Ye Zhuoyu yelled angrily. If he hadn't noticed something was wrong and arrived in time, his sister would have been injured by now.

  But the store owner rolled his eyes and wailed loudly: "Ah! I'm beating someone! Folks, come and see! The criminals will rob you of the buns if you don't give them money!"

  He shouted in agony, as if he had been tortured. On the street The people were instantly attracted, gathered around and pointed at a few people.

  This movement also alerted the officers and soldiers who were resting at a tea stall not far away. They suddenly put down their tea cups and ran over quickly with whips in hand.

  "Hurry up and let him go!"

  When they arrived, without saying a word, the officers and soldiers whipped them directly. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhuoyu was hit by a whip in the middle of his back. A muffled grunt escaped his lips, and his hands lost strength.

  The shopkeeper took the opportunity to break free and hide behind the stall, while the officers and soldiers whipped Ye Zhuoyu one after another, showing no intention of stopping.

  "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

  Ye Qingran was so frightened that she cried and shouted, but no one listened to her. Her second aunt and others, who had regarded her brother as a supporter just now, had already stepped back a few meters away. , for fear of being affected.

  "Stop!"

  Ye Qingran hurried over and shouted sharply. Ruhong's momentum really made the officers and soldiers stop their movements.

  "You didn't even ask for the full story, so you just believed his lies?"

  Criminals really have no human rights. These officers and soldiers do not discriminate at all and can beat them to death if they just believe in one side of the story.

  "What are you talking about, little lady? It's true that this person almost broke my arm!"

  Seeing the official supporting him, the shop owner stood up and accused with his hands on his hips.

  "Then you were wronged by beating them with sticks?"

  "I...she was the one who threw stones at me first!"

  Ye Qingran sneered, "You know the whole story best. They gave you money. It's so reasonable to be out of stock and not pay for it! Two coins can only buy a dozen steamed buns, so who can afford them? God is watching your every move!

  The store owner looked impatient, "Don't talk to me about whether I have the goods or not. Do you have any evidence?" He expected that Ye Qingran, who was not at the scene just now, couldn't provide any evidence

  . He has put it away long ago, can they still call him by name?     Ye Qingran was neither arrogant nor arrogant: "Your buns cost three cents each. How often do you think you will receive two cents of silver at a time?"

  "Besides, the coins issued by the capital are all engraved with special marks. What I said is true." It's fake, you can tell when you open the store's money bag!"

  The store was stunned, obviously not expecting that the money actually had a "name".

  He subconsciously covered the money bag at his waist. Who couldn't see the panic visible to the naked eye?

  Xu Qiang had some concerns in his mind, winked at several officers and soldiers, and put away his whip.

  "Do you want to open it yourself, or should I open it for you?"

  Ye Qingran walked to the store step by step. His slender figure had a heart-stopping aura, and his eyes were so bright that the store owner couldn't help but sweat.

  The public's discussion suddenly changed, accusing it of being a shady stall. The shopkeeper couldn't bear the pressure anymore and knelt down with a plop.

  "I'm sorry! I was just confused for a moment! I just want to teach you a lesson! I'm not a shady merchant!"

  "This is the money you gave me. I don't want it anymore! I know I was wrong! Please spare me!"

  He hurriedly took out the money. , the second aunt stepped forward and snatched it back, spitting.

  Xu Qiang watched the whole process coldly, and finally said: "Okay, enough trouble, now continue on your way!"

  "Ah? I haven't eaten this meal yet..."

  The second aunt did not dare to refute loudly, and whispered, The officers and soldiers didn't care whether they were hungry or not. They stepped forward and pushed them, and they could only follow them obediently.

  Neither Ye Qingran nor Ye Zhuoyu expected to get an apology from the officers and soldiers. They could only bear the whipping themselves. Although the shopkeeper had admitted his mistake, today's incident would still spread with the wind, and everyone would know about him by then. With the story of exchanging steamed buns for steamed buns, I'm afraid the business won't go any better.

  The meat buns were not finished, and they were beaten with a stick. The second aunt and her family were so exhausted that they could no longer walk without energy.

  Ye Guodong and Mrs. Jiang had to take care of their injured son, but they were not very fast. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers at this moment were not in a hurry for some reason, so they were spared a scolding.

  "Where are we going?"

  Ye Ziqiang looked at the increasingly lively streets and wondered.

  Xu Qiang looked back and said calmly: "You are lucky. The magistrate of Wan'an has arranged a place for you."

  "Lord magistrate?" The second aunt's eyes suddenly lit up.

  Then imagine not only a place to stay, but also food, drinks and entertainment!

  No matter what it is, it is better than that watery soup!

  Arrange accommodation for the officials who ransacked their homes?

  Ye Qingran looked calm, but felt vaguely strange.

  Everyone had hope in their hearts and encouraged each other to speed up. Therefore, Ye Qingran didn't say anything disappointing, and it couldn't change anyway.

  After walking through the lively market for another quarter of an hour, we finally saw the gate of the county government.

  We came with high expectations, but when we saw Magistrate Wan'an, a bucket of cold water was poured on everyone's head.

  The Wan'an County Magistrate, who was dressed in official uniform and had a goatee, glanced at everyone coldly for a long time, and said loudly: "Ye Guoliang's family will stay, and the others will be put in jail!" As

  soon as he said this, everyone was stunned on the spot!
