Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye could no longer bear it, and stood up together, fists clenched tightly, waiting for their father's signal to teach this rampant servant a lesson.
The old man waved his hand, signaling his sons not to say too much.
He took out his pipe, puffed twice, and then said to the middle-aged man calmly, "Speaking of my old master, I only recognized General Zhao Yiwu, but he has passed away.
"Back then, the general's younger brother, the old man you're talking about, was at the border. He was called the rear camp general in the army, but he probably spent more than 300 days a year in the general's mansion.
"Today he's in pain here, tomorrow he's uncomfortable there, even a cold wind on his face can make him call for a doctor! Instead, he took concubines one after another and even raped women, causing the general's reputation to be damaged. He had to personally visit the victim to apologize before the matter was settled.
"If my guess is correct, you are the illegitimate child of one of those concubines, right?"
When the middle-aged man heard about his father's miserable deeds in the past and his identity was exposed, his face changed. He could no longer hide the arrogance and nobility in his expression and was about to curse back.
The old man didn't give him a chance and continued, "Later, the general couldn't stand your father's cowardice and sent him back to Kyoto. Unexpectedly, the war broke out at this time. The general was leading the troops in the front, but your father secretly resold the military rations, making a small fortune for himself, and hindered the general a lot.
"When the general died in battle, your father ran straight back to Kyoto, leaving the entire border mess and tens of thousands of wounded soldiers to General Anbang, who was only in his twenties!"
When talking about the past, a layer of frost could be scraped off the old man's face, and his eyes were full of contempt and hostility.
"Although I've retired and am no longer a member of the border defense force, my former master is only General Zhao Yiwu. If I had to replace him, it would be General Anbang, not some traitorous coward!"
"How dare you!" The middle-aged man stood up angrily, grabbed the tea bowl and smashed it.
The manager was also relying on the power of the old man and started cursing at the old man.
"You are so bold, old man! How dare a lowly person like you scold our old master!"
Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye couldn't bear it any longer, and without caring whether their father allowed it or not, they grabbed the steward and threw him to the ground!
The steward had never thought he would be beaten. He claimed to be a Kyoto native, a man highly valued by his master, so how could he take a bunch of peasants seriously? Yet, today he was beaten by a bunch of peasants!
He was a little confused, and before he could come to his senses, Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye's big feet kicked him.
One kicked him hard in the head, and the other kicked him hard in the stomach. They treated the manager like a ball, rolling around!
The steward was in so much pain that he felt like a shrimp, but he still kept cursing, "Untouchables, untouchables! I'm going to kill you! Someone come, someone come!"
Tai Jizu kicked him hard in the mouth twice, and his two front teeth fell out immediately!
The middle-aged man was furious and slammed the table and shouted, "Stop, stop!"
Unfortunately, Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye didn't listen to him at all!
He could only turn to Old Man Tai and curse fiercely, "Tai Baocheng, you are so bold! You dare to attack the people from the General's Mansion! Stop it now, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Without even raising his eyelids, Old Master Tai slowly puffed on his pipe as he replied, "The General is renowned for his strict management of his household, otherwise he wouldn't have raised such a fine son like General Anbang! You came here today claiming to be from the General's Mansion, yet you act so unruly and even come to our house to show off your power. This is not the Zhao family's style. Who knows if you're imposters?"
“You, you…”
The middle-aged man was furious, and the only thing he kept saying was, "Crazy, really crazy!"
Fortunately, Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye were also afraid of beating someone to death, so when they saw the manager collapsed on the ground, they finally stopped!
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the yard. Master Tai San brought dozens of villagers and rushed in, escorting a man who looked like a coachman.
"Sixth Brother, are you okay? Who is this blind person who bullies our family?" Master Tai San tightly gripped his pipe like an angry lion.
The villagers following behind him were also armed with some weapons. One held the door bolt, another grabbed an axe, their eyes full of murderous intent, as if they were ready to start killing people if they disagreed with them!
"Who bullies my sixth uncle?"
"How dare you run into our Taijia Village and cause trouble!"
"That's right, without asking around, we wolves dare to kill them, and we're still short of a few heads!"
"Kill them all and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves. I guarantee no one will find them!"
The middle-aged man was so frightened by the angry glares from everyone that his legs went weak and he took two steps back.
He felt extremely regretful. Why didn't he bring more guards with him when he came here?
He originally thought that it was just a poor and remote mountain village with a bunch of peasants. If he scared them a little, they would be terrified and afraid to serve him well.
Who would have thought that there was a group of unruly people hiding in this village, all of them shouting for war and killing without even a frown.
Moreover, the murderous intent in these people's eyes is genuine. Their courage must have been cultivated through seeing bloodshed!
But he didn't want to let too many people know the purpose of his visit this time, so he only brought a trusted steward and a coachman, and then he suffered such "humiliation"!
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, let alone when your life is at stake!
He endured it again and again before finally mustering up the courage to speak, "Well, Tai Bao... Uncle Tai, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I came here this time for an important matter, a sincere visit. I didn't expect this steward to be so unruly and interrupt without authorization, causing such a scene. Uncle Tai, please forgive me, let's talk slowly, slowly!"
