Chapter 79: Complaints and Revenge
Middle-aged man: "Just say what you want to say."
"My junior brother said that Deng Zheng and his group are going to Bianyang, and County Master Youning and Lord Li seem to be following in secret."
"If they were here, we would be hard-pressed to take action."
"Besides, didn't you order them to be spared?"
This is indeed a tricky question.
Those two children were excellent, and it would be a real pity if they were killed by mistake.
"I'll be there by then, too. Let's just play it by ear."
*
The red sun sets in the west, the night falls on the willow branches, and the bars and teahouses on the street are about to close.
When the waiter was sweeping the floor again, he discovered Deng Yi and his servant drunk and unconscious in the corner.
"Master Deng, wake up, we are closing!"
He patted Deng Yi's shoulder gently, trying to wake him up.
"Splash it to wake him up!"
Deng Youning's voice came from behind the screen.
She held the teacup and ate dried fruit, as if she was watching a play through a screen.
After receiving the order, the waiter poured two basins of cold water on their faces.
"Who is it?"
"Who the hell dares to splash water on me?!"
The first thing Deng Yi did after waking up was to curse.
Upon learning that the store was about to close, Deng Yi was about to get up when the pot-bellied shopkeeper and his men stopped him.
"Master Deng, you haven't paid the bill yet!"
"Your friend, the young master wearing Mu Jiaxiang Yunjin, said that both tables should be included in the bill, and you will be the host!"
The shopkeeper politely held out his hand for money.
Not much, just ten taels of silver!
Deng Yi felt his arms and found that the several hundred taels of silver notes he had carried with him were missing. He sobered up in panic.
Deng Youning smiled gently. What did she say?
This kind of idiot can't keep wealth at all!
Seeing their hurried look, the shopkeeper stopped smiling.
"I wonder if Master Deng didn't bring any silver?"
He deliberately raised his voice very high so that the people in the row behind him could hear it clearly.
Those waiters are usually servile, but they are quite strong as they run restaurants every day. They are more than capable of dealing with Deng Yi, a disabled drunkard, and a servant who doesn't look like he can fight.
“This…I…”
Deng Yi was extremely embarrassed.
All the silver was cheated away, but he still had some change on him, but it was not enough for ten taels.
"Are you deliberately blackmailing people?"
"How come we only ate a little? It's already ten taels?"
The shopkeeper refused to give in and asked someone to bring an axe for chopping firewood from the backyard.
He threw the axe in front of Deng Yi viciously, "If you don't have ten taels today, don't even think about leaving the house!"
The servant was also frightened by their display.
"Your shop is simply a shady one!"
"Besides, when our young master was still the Duke's son, he gave you a lot of tips. How can you not even give me credit this time?"
Deng Yi also thought of these things.
When he was still in his prime, he always spent money lavishly.
You don't need to give change if there is any remaining money.
Seeing this part of the show, Deng Youning smiled sarcastically. When he was the crown prince, he did try to spend his wealth, but he always looked down on these common people.
The waiters were beaten, scolded and humiliated, and some were even forced to kneel down and polish their shoes.
They still remember all this hatred!
"Who in the capital doesn't know your background, Master Deng? Do you still think you are a descendant of a royal family?"
"If you can't come up with the silver, beat him to death!"
At the shopkeeper's command, the waiters rushed forward and beat and kicked the master and his servant.
The person who beat Deng Yi worked particularly hard.
Today, we must complain and avenge ourselves!
"Deng Yi, you have finally come to this day!"
"When you are a person, you should always leave some room for yourself. You never know when you will end up with nothing and end up in such a miserable state!"
"Look everyone, the Duke's son who was so high and mighty before is now crawling on the ground like a dog!"
"It's so rare that he will have to kneel down to us lowly people one day!"
You punched me, I kicked me, and we beat Deng Yi for two hours.
Seeing that his head had swollen like a pig's head, his face was covered with bruises, and he had a nosebleed, the shopkeeper asked Deng Youning to let him go because he was afraid that someone might die.
After Deng Yi left, Deng Youning walked out quietly from behind the screen.
"Thank you, Lord County, for giving us the opportunity to take revenge."
The shopkeeper had let out his anger and now felt refreshed.
"Don't thank me, thank the man who cheated him out of his money this morning."
"If he hadn't taken the lead, we might not have had such a good opportunity!"
It’s a pity that Deng Youning was not there in the morning and didn’t see with her own eyes how Deng Yi was deceived.
I heard that the young man was wearing the Mu family's auspicious cloud brocade, so he must be of extraordinary status.
*
Deng Youning came to the small courtyard where Deng Yi rented.
The people in Tianfulou would not beat innocent people indiscriminately. The servant was beaten much less than Deng Yi, and he had enough strength to help him back to the courtyard.
But when it rains, it pours.
When they returned, they discovered that all the things they had brought out from Deng's house with great difficulty were missing!
The whole house was turned upside down and many of the furniture lent to them by the landlord were broken.
Deng Yi was so angry that he smashed the last intact chair!
Deng Youning, who was only separated from them by a wall, smiled with satisfaction.
Desperate, huh?
In her previous life, when he cut her tendons in her hands and feet and burned her voice hoarse, she was even more desperate than this.
He never reflects on how badly he bullied others in the past, and only sees that everyone is taking advantage of his misfortune because he is in trouble.
"Miss, these things...?"
The servant who was called by Deng Youning to move things just now asked.
"Over the years, you have suffered a lot following Deng Yi. Consider these things as my repayment to you."
Deng Youning's kindness moved the servants to tears.
These people are all Deng Yi's personal servants, and they are also the ones who are bullied the most by him and have the most malice towards him!
Deng Yi in the hospital seemed to have a backup plan.
He ran to the stove, dug in it for a while, and took out a bag of silver coins.
Although he was a dandy, he was not a fool. He left a way out for himself on the first day he moved into the courtyard.
Even the servant who had been following him didn’t know!
Seeing that he had left a bag of silver, the servant smiled with sudden enlightenment.
He finally understood why Deng Yi's actions were all under the control of the young lady, but the young lady still asked him to follow Deng Yi closely.
The servant picked up the firewood nearby and hit Deng Yi on the back of the head with a stick. Deng Yi was stunned for a moment.
The servant reacted quickly and snatched the purse from his hand while he was distracted.
"Master, don't blame me. I came out with you just to enjoy life. After all your money is gone, I will leave sooner or later!"
Having said this, the boy threw down the firewood and ran away.
"God damn it!"
Deng Yi dragged his broken leg behind and tried to catch up with the servant, but after taking a few steps, the pain from the wounds all over his body became unbearable.
When he was beaten just now, his right leg seemed to be broken and he couldn't walk normally.
If not for this, the servant would have no chance to steal the money and leave.
After chasing for a few steps, Deng Yi fell to the ground in a mess due to his leg injury and couldn't get up anymore. He could only watch the servant's triumphant back as he walked further and further away.
In the alley next to Deng Yi's courtyard.
"Are you sure he has nothing valuable on him?"
Deng Youning asked with satisfaction after receiving the bag of silver from the servant.
The servant nodded in confirmation.
Thinking back to Deng Yi's embarrassed appearance just now, a feeling of revenge suddenly ignited in his heart.
He was originally a son of a wealthy family whose fortunes had fallen on hard times, and when he came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion he was not a slave, but an ordinary temporary worker without a contract to sell himself.
