Chapter 210 He is unworthy of the title "Master"
Cheng Wanwan continued to sneer.
She glanced at the third brother casually; his mouth was bruised, his chin was scratched, and there were bruises on the back of his hands. In just a few days, how many times had he been bullied?
Manager Yu's surname is Yu, and the senior apprentice who bullied the third brother also has the surname Yu. This is clearly an act of covering up for someone.
She must have been blind to send her son to such a place to learn martial arts.
A long knife appeared in her hand without her noticing. She had just bought it in the mall; it was a modern industrially produced knife, much sharper than any ancient blade.
She raised her arm and slammed it down on the nearest table, shattering the wooden table into pieces instantly.
The children who had rushed over seemed to be frozen in place, as if under a spell.
Such a long sword was many times better than the best sword in the martial arts world, making them envious.
"Manager Yu, you're really something." Cheng Wanwan held the knife, a cold smile playing on her lips. "My son studied martial arts at your place for three days. After deducting the tuition for those three days, please refund the rest of the money!"
Manager Yu said calmly, "The martial arts industry has its rules. Once the money is paid, it is non-refundable."
“I didn’t want to make a big deal out of this.” Cheng Wanwan’s smile grew colder and colder. “But since Manager Yu is so domineering, I have no choice but to find someone to uphold justice.”
Manager Yu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world: "Every day, people from my Yu Family Martial Arts Company come to cause trouble and demand refunds, but no one has ever succeeded. Do you know why? It's because my son works in the yamen and is the magistrate's most trusted person. Even if you take it to the yamen, the magistrate won't bother with your petty matter!"
He narrowed his eyes. "Leave this knife in your hand, and I will let bygones be bygones for you hurting my nephew."
This knife doesn't look like an ordinary item. If we could get our hands on it, it could become the prized possession of the Yu family's martial arts guild...
Cheng Wanwan understood.
It seems that the Yu family's martial arts school makes money entirely by swindling people. The word "martial arts" attracts students, and once parents pay their fees, the school allows its members to harm and humiliate them. The students will then complain to their parents, who will naturally feel sorry for their children and want them to suffer. They will definitely ask for a refund, but the Yu family manager will not. Once the matter blows up, with the yamen runners backing him up, the Yu family manager can get away unscathed and make two taels of silver for free. It's a sure-fire way to make money.
If any child can endure being bullied, they will become henchmen of the Yu family's martial arts guild, and no matter how you look at it, the Yu family will not lose out.
Cheng Wanwan sneered: "Manager Yu is really good at scheming. It's a pity you shouldn't have tried to scheme against me."
She shoved the long knife into Zhao Sanniu's hand, saying, "If anyone comes and blocks our way, just slash them. Don't worry if they get hurt; our family can afford the medical expenses."
After she said that, which child would dare to block the doorway? The knife looked so sharp; if they were killed, it would be a huge loss.
Zhao Sanniu, holding a long sword, protected Cheng Wanwan, and the mother and son successfully withdrew from the Yu family's martial arts troupe.
Manager Yu wasn't in a hurry. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "Go find your eldest cousin and tell him that the Yu family's martial arts guild has been robbed. Tell him to arrest the thief as soon as possible."
Senior Brother Yu accepted the order and immediately went to carry it out.
Zhao Sanniu and Cheng Wanwan ran into the street. He was panting heavily: "Mom, what do we do now? Master won't let this go so easily..."
Cheng Wanwan said coldly, "You stayed at the martial arts school for three days. Did he teach you any martial arts?"
Zhao Sanniu shook his head.
For the past three days, his master has been teaching him basic skills by himself with his fellow disciples, but they have been teasing and bullying him.
During the few days he was there, he couldn't even get a hot meal, and he didn't even have a place to sleep at night, let alone learn the basics... He always thought that as long as he endured it, his senior brothers would definitely teach him kung fu... He never expected that his mother would come when he bowed his head and gave in.
His mother didn't ask or say anything; she simply shielded him behind her.
He's such a grown man, yet he still needs his mother, a woman, to protect him.
His eyes welled up with tears: "Mother, I'm so useless."
“It was my fault for sending you here without asking about the details of the martial arts school. I didn’t think things through,” Cheng Wanwan said. “I will find you a better martial arts school later. This Manager Yu is not worthy of the title of ‘master.’ Let’s go to the yamen now. This matter must be made a big deal out of this, otherwise, who knows how many more people will be deceived by Yu’s Martial Arts School.”
Zhao Sanniu nodded and followed him to the entrance of the county government office.
Cheng Wanwan walked up the steps, stood in front of a large drum, and began to beat the drum.
As soon as the drumbeats sounded, Senior Brother Yu rushed over and shouted, "Cousin, this old hag is the one causing trouble in our Yu family's martial arts guild and even stole the Yu family's long sword! Arrest her and interrogate her immediately!"
Yu, the constable, immediately drew his long sword from his waist and held it to Cheng Wanwan's neck: "You audacious bandit, surrender now!"
Cheng Wanwan threw down the drumsticks and said calmly, "Then let the magistrate hold court and hear the case."
Yu, the constable, coldly said, "Such a trivial matter, why should it trouble the magistrate..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a man walk out of the yamen gate and quickly stepped forward to bow: "This humble servant greets Master Yuan!"
Master Yuan came out after hearing the sound of drums. He immediately saw the woman standing on the steps. She was dressed in a dark blue dress and stood among several yamen runners. She was calm, elegant, and composed, with a touch of beauty. She did not look like a peasant woman at all. No wonder the magistrate was so eager to marry her.
Master Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Sister Zhao, are you here to see the magistrate? The magistrate is in his study. This way, please..."
"Master Yuan, she's a thief!" Constable Yu shouted. "She stole the Yu family's long sword and injured many people. She's a criminal..."
"This Sister Zhao is a distinguished guest of the county magistrate!" Master Yuan kicked her. "If the county magistrate hears this, your job as a yamen runner is over."
Yu Yachai was dumbfounded and turned to look at his senior brother Yu.
Senior Brother Yu was also stunned. He belatedly realized why a woman dared to cause trouble in the martial arts world: it turned out she had the county magistrate as her backer.
Has the Yu family really bitten off more than they can chew this time?
He was a man of principle, and immediately said, "It's true what they say, 'No fight, no friendship.' Aunt Zhao, it's all a misunderstanding. San Niu is my junior brother. I will definitely promote him in the future and help him..."
"I dare not accept such praise!" Cheng Wanwan interrupted him, looked at Master Yuan, and bowed slightly, saying, "Master Yuan, I, Zhao Chengshi, hereby accuse the Yu Martial Arts School of condoning its members to injure people, of setting up a school to swindle money, of colluding with yamen runners to bully students' parents, and of being lawless and disregarding the law!"
She spoke each word clearly and forcefully.
What was originally a case that could be big or small was inexplicably elevated to a very high level due to her sharp words.
Lawless and disregarding the law!
This is a serious crime!
Senior Brother Yu and Constable Yu's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly said, "Master Yuan, that's not how it is, it's just a misunderstanding..."
"If you have anything to say, go to the court to explain!" Master Yuan said coldly. "Someone, go and invite the head of the Yu family's martial arts guild to the court!"
