Chapter 328 Will you be left holding the bag?
Lin Changning used deadly force in those two blows, and the two men lay on the ground, groaning and unable to get up for a long time.
The remaining servants saw that Lin Changning seemed to be a martial arts expert. They exchanged a glance with the skinny man, whispered something in his ear, and then turned and went back to the second courtyard.
Lin Changning ignored the two servants lying on the ground like dead dogs and started to walk forward.
Today he wanted to see what kind of tricks were going on in this two-courtyard house. The gaunt man's face turned pale and then white, as if he realized that Lin Changning was a martial arts expert and not someone to be trifled with.
He softened his tone and said, "Young master, it's not that we don't want to receive you today, but there is a distinguished person in our courtyard. Please take my advice and don't barge in. If we offend him, neither of us will have a good outcome."
Hearing this, Lin Changning paused in her steps. She really wanted to know who was inside, so she turned her head and asked, "I'd like to see who this important person is. Why don't you tell me?"
Seeing Lin Changning stop, the man breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Liu is inside today. Master Liu, you know, right? He's a cousin of the second young master Qi from our Prince's Mansion. Someone in his family is a high-ranking official in the capital, and he's also a cousin of this Prince. I advise you not to disturb him. If you want these girls, come here on the 15th, and I'll lower the dowry. You can choose any of the girls who are twelve or older."
Lin Changning's teeth were clenched so tightly that they were practically grinding together, and the chill in his voice was impossible to ignore: "You're talking about Qi Rong, the Second Young Master Qi, aren't you?"
The gaunt man clapped his hands: "Hey, yes, that's him, he's our prince's nephew! Since you know him, then today..."
Lin Changning kicked the man against the wall again: "Fine, fine, fine, today I'll see which Master Liu is it!!!"
Lin Changning, who was about to charge in, suddenly felt uneasy. The commander she knew would never be the kind of person who condoned such incompetence. These people dared to tarnish the reputation of the Second Young Master Qi, so they must have some kind of backing.
Thinking of this, Lin Changning turned back, took out his waist token from his pocket, and walked into the room of the group of boys. He pointed to the slightly older boy who had just hit him with a stool and said, "I'll give you two gold melon seeds. Take my token to the Commandery and have the guards at the gate relay the order that Commander Lin is at the Orphanage and that he needs to come over."
The boy who used the stool to hit people hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the two golden melon seeds that Lin Changning had spread out on his waist, he finally couldn't resist the temptation.
He jogged forward, took the golden melon seeds and waist token from Lin Changning, and prepared to run outside.
Lin Changning grabbed the boy's collar: "The carriage outside is mine. If you can drive a carriage, drive it over there."
The boy glanced at Lin Changning and nodded: "I can drive a carriage."
Seeing the boy's determined eyes, Lin Changning released her grip on his collar: "Go."
After saying that, he went out the door and walked into the second courtyard. Coincidentally, as soon as Lin Changning entered the courtyard, he saw a man dressed in fine clothes but with a fat head and big ears walking towards him with more than a dozen servants.
Lin Changning glanced at the wooden stick in the servant's hand, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The man in the lead looked Lin Changning up and down, and seemed to realize that he was a stranger. He breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at Lin Changning, saying, "You're the one who just beat up my man."
Lin Changning twirled his fist and glanced at the man casually: "Yes, I hit you. I not only hit you, but I'll hit you too later."
The fat man pointed his chubby finger at Lin Changning: "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk big like that? Men, get him and beat him to death."
Lin Changning gestured for him to stop: "Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."
The man, thinking Lin Changning was scared, arrogantly said, "Hmph, scared now? Too late! Get him!"
Lin Changning sighed, looked around, and realized that he didn't even have a suitable weapon. He should have brought his sword with him when he came out today.
However, it's not a big problem.
A man wielding a wooden stick was about to smash it down on Lin Changning, but Lin Changning dodged to the side, grabbed the stick tightly with his right hand, and pulled it away from the man.
Then, he slammed a wooden stick into the man's waist. Holding the stick in one hand, he watched the people rushing towards him. The stick was so powerful that it almost left a blur. The people who came to beat Lin Changning didn't even see how Lin Changning made his move before they felt a pain and were knocked to the ground.
The first five or six people who came up were curled up on the ground like shrimp, howling and screaming.
The others couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Lin Changning, and hesitated to step forward.
Lin Changning, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a stick, tilted his head slightly: "Keep going? Why aren't you continuing?"
The fat, big-eared man shoved the few servants around him who dared not move, shouting, "Go! Go! All of you, go at me!"
Lin Changning scoffed, "If you guys won't go, then I will."
After saying that, she rushed towards the man and the servants beside him like a gust of wind.
A heavy blow landed on the fat man's head. Seeing their master being beaten, the servants gritted their teeth and swung several sticks at Lin Changning.
Lin Changning took a step back and used the stick in his hand to block the sticks that were thrown at him. With a fierce flick, he knocked several servants flying.
The man was still reeling from being hit on the head by Lin Changning's stick. He was clutching his forehead, tears welling up in his eyes. Normally, when you see a group of servants lying on the ground groaning, they would immediately step forward and kick the man in the chest.
After kicking the man to the ground, Lin Changning stepped on him. The man's face showed a hint of fear, and his narrowed eyes flashed with a vicious light.
"Let go! Do you know who I am? You dare to lay a hand on me? Believe me, I'll make you regret this."
Lin Changning was indeed quite curious about this person's identity, so he couldn't help but stomp his foot hard on the person's chest.
"Oh? Who are you? Tell me, I'd like to see how you'll make me regret this."
The man pushed away Lin Changning's foot, which was pressing on his chest, with both hands: "I'll scare you to death if I tell you, I'm the cousin of Prince Qi of the Prince's Mansion!! My cousin is currently in Taiyuan, you dare to touch me!! Believe me or not, I'll make sure your whole family suffers."
Lin Changning sneered, laughing as she slammed the stick into the man's wrist with a cracking sound.
Lin Changning severed one of the man's hands.
The man lay on the ground howling in pain, his voice sounding like a pig being slaughtered during the Lunar New Year.
Lin Changning casually wiped his hands with his clothes.
"I'd like to see how you'll make me regret this. It's quite a coincidence, I know the Prince Qi you mentioned, and I've already sent someone with my identification to invite him."
After speaking, Lin Changning straightened up, narrowed her phoenix eyes, and looked at the entrances of several side rooms in the second courtyard: "I want to see what kind of shady dealings are going on in this orphanage!!!"
