"The police are coming!"

"The police are coming!"

"Make way, make way!"

The common people consciously made way for him. The pawnshop owner led the officials in with an arrogant attitude and pointed at Liu Ji and said angrily:

"It was this poor scholar who came to my pawnshop and made a scene without any evidence. Don't believe him. Our pawnshop has been open for decades and we never cheat anyone. We would never do such a bad thing as this scoundrel said!"

Liu Jihui was not the only one who was talking nonsense. The pawnshop owner was even worse. He turned the tables and angrily said:

"He's a poor fellow who pawned something and then went back on his word. He failed to blackmail me and instead ruined the reputation of my employer! Don't be fooled by his appearance!"

The voices of the onlookers immediately weakened, and the naive young man who didn't know the three evils of Kaiyang County asked the old man who was selling things at the stall next to him blankly:

"How can there be such a person? His pawnshop is doing well. If he were to slander him like this, wouldn't it delay his business?"

The old man lowered his head and laughed sarcastically, not bothering to answer the fool's question. He took advantage of the crowd to shout, and sighed for the poor scholar in his heart.

Why did you offend them for no reason? Now you will probably be retaliated against.

Seeing that the officers were coming to arrest him, Liu Ji immediately threw up his sleeves and shouted, "Don't touch me. I know Shengguo's laws better than you do. I have never killed anyone, and I have never set any fire. What rights do you have to arrest me? Get out of the way. I will leave on my own!"

Anyway, he couldn't lose in terms of momentum, so he took advantage of the officers' surprise and turned around and left.

First take big steps, then small steps, the speed becomes faster and faster, and finally you can run wildly.

I have already attracted enough hatred, so I am going to run away~

As he ran out of the city gate, he was suddenly pulled into a corner by someone. Liu Ji was so scared that he gasped.

"It's me. Drive to the East Fork Road. There's a teahouse in front. Sit down and have some tea. I'll treat you."

Afraid that Liu Ji would use the excuse of having no money, Qin Yao directly stuffed the tea money into his hand.

Liu Ji looked down at the small silver ingot in his hand, then looked up at his surroundings. There were trees, parked ox carts and horse carriages, and vegetable vendors setting up stalls at the city gate, but there was no sign of Qin Yao.

Is she a ghost? Liu Ji was frightened by his own thought and shuddered violently.

But he soon put the silver into his pocket with a grin, took his own ox cart, got on the cart, cracked the whip, and drove out of the city.

After a while, Liu Ji clearly felt that there were people following him from behind. There were not many people, just three.

He drove the car while they ran. Now knowing that Qin Yao was already around and her life was not in danger, Liu Ji deliberately slowed down the car and kept a distance from the three people.

The tea shed was very close, and it would take less than a quarter of an hour to get there from the outside of the city. There was no one in the shed at this time, so Liu Ji stopped the car, asked the owner for a pot of the cheapest tea, and found a spacious seat to sit down.

The three people who followed him stopped thirty meters away from the tea stall. Seeing that he was still leisurely drinking tea in the tea stall as if nothing had happened, one of them waved to the remaining two. He stayed behind to keep an eye on them and asked the other two to go and inform the owner.

The guy who caused such a big disturbance in their pawn shop has never appeared before. If he is not taught a severe lesson, and everyone follows his example next time, will the brothers in the underworld still take them seriously?

Golden Toad is actually a very cautious person, and rarely personally steps in to resolve troubles caused by his subordinates.

But Liu Ji's big fuss today put several big blames on him without any basis.

What nonsense about killing people and abandoning bodies, lowering the price to one hundred taels, and killing several children to silence them!

He had clearly generously offered Mr. Ding two hundred taels of silver, and only wanted his men to scare those kids. Who would have thought that those big men would be injured by a baby? It was really embarrassing!

Also, killing someone and abandoning the body is ridiculous; it was clearly a precise burial!

The Golden Toad got angry at the thought of it. Kaiyang County had been peaceful for all these years and he had never encountered such a provocation.

Liu Ji, right? Very good! You have successfully caught my attention!

The servant came to report, saying: "Liu Ji did not go home directly after leaving the city, but went to the teahouse in the east to drink tea. He was so leisurely and didn't take you seriously at all. He is alone now, and his wife is not here at all. Boss, let's go over and take him to..."

The men made a chopping motion, intending to avenge their injured brothers.

The golden toad's eyebrows jumped, "Why does he drink tea? How dare he drink tea? Does he take me seriously?"

The Golden Toad was so angry that he slammed the table five times. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn't bear it at all. He wanted to make Liu Ji a cripple right now!

He stood up, picked up his beloved bone-breaking stick, called over ten tall and strong thugs, and three carriages set out at the same time, rushing towards the tea stall in the eastern suburbs.

Lin Erbao is a coachman. This year he performed well and was promoted to be the coachman for his boss. When he saw his boss coming in person, he thought something big and difficult had happened.

He hurriedly whispered to the thug beside him about what they were doing at the East Suburb Tea Stall. The owner of the tea stall had already paid the security fee for this month. Could it be that the tea was not tasty and made the boss unhappy?

The thug shook his head and answered softly, "You didn't know that Liu Ji, who bought the land of Mr. Ding, came to our house early this morning to scold us because some of his children were warned by some of our brothers yesterday. He also put a lot of scumbag hats on our boss."

"Our boss let him go, but guess what? This kid sat down in the teahouse in the East Suburbs, ordered a pot of tea, and drank it leisurely. Do you think this kid is looking for death? The boss gave him a chance but he didn't leave, so we have no choice but to keep his hands!"

The thugs sounded a little excited. After all, it was the easiest job for ten of them to deal with a scholar who was barely able to even tie a chicken.

The thug thought in a relaxed manner that after finishing this job, he should be able to call it a day. Then he could take the reward money from his boss and go to the gambling house to have some fun.

But he didn't notice that when Lin Erbao heard the word Liu Ji, his expression suddenly changed.

"Boss." Lin Erbao called out to the car tentatively in a respectful tone. The golden toad responded with a "hmm" after a long while, indicating that he should fart quickly.

Lin Erbao said hurriedly, "Didn't Boss Wang say two days ago that Liu Ji is not difficult to deal with. The difficulty lies in his wife. Boss Wang suffered a great loss at her hands before, and a trusted brother died. This hundred acres of land is nothing to the boss. Why do you have to argue with these ignorant people?"

"What do you mean? Do you think that I, your boss, can't deal with a country woman?" the Golden Toad asked dangerously.

Hearing this tone, Lin Erbao knew that he could not persuade her, so he smiled flatteringly and said, "My boss is very famous in Kaiyang County. She is just a village woman. How dare she go west when you want her to go east? I was just not good at talking just now, please don't mind it, boss."

I was already thinking that I would find a chance to slip away when the time comes and never get involved.

Although two years have passed, Lin Erbao's heart still shrinks whenever he thinks of Qin Yao.

That woman is not a human being at all!
