Chapter 26 It's Not Me
Ji Zheng was in a good mood as he had successfully got the 'job', but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the Hong Kong building, he saw a large group of people gathered on the opposite side.
Thinking that Ji Hean was still inside, a bad premonition came to my mind.
As expected, when he squeezed into the crowd, he saw someone bullying his son Ji Hean. He suddenly couldn't suppress his violent emotions and ran forward and kicked Ji Dafu.
Naturally, he was not satisfied with his kick, so he rode on Ji Dafu's body and clenched his fists to hit him in the weakest parts.
"Murder! Help!" After Ji's mother came to her senses, she slapped her thigh and screamed to the sky.
Passersby who were watching the excitement were also whispering to each other, but no one stepped forward to help, mainly because Ji Zheng looked so scary.
Although it is a peaceful era, Ji Zheng grew up in an orphanage, a place where if you are not ruthless, you will be the one who is bullied.
So Ji Zheng grew up fighting, and he knew where to hit the most painfully without killing.
Seeing Ji Zheng like this, Ji Dafu felt a surge of fear in his heart. He wanted to beg for mercy, but Ji Zheng didn't give him a chance.
Seeing Ji Dafu dying, Ji's mother was anxious, but she didn't dare to step forward to stop him. She could only stand there and worry.
Finally, Ji Hean reacted and pulled Ji Zheng away from Ji Dafu.
When he stood up, Ji Zheng kicked Ji Dafu hard again.
Seeing Ji Zheng leaving, Ji's mother cried out and rushed to Ji Dafu, "Son, how are you?"
Ji Zheng didn't care about Ji Dafu. He turned around and looked Ji Hean up and down. When he saw his red and swollen cheeks, the anger that had barely dissipated in his heart suddenly surged up again.
"Who hit me?" Ji Zheng's eyes were filled with both heartache and anger, and his fists clenched uncontrollably.
After all, this is the town, and there is a large flow of people here. At this time, the road is surrounded by people. It is estimated that the police are on their way. Ji Hean doesn't want Ji Zheng to get into trouble. "I'm fine, let's go quickly."
Having said that, he pulled Ji Zheng's sleeve and wanted to leave. Although Ji Zheng was not satisfied, looking at the wound on Ji Hean's face, he decided to take revenge later and took Ji Hean to the clinic first.
But before the two of them walked out of the crowd, they saw two officers with a big "Bu" word printed on their chests coming over.
"What's going on? Why are you all gathered here?" one of the detectives shouted, and another detective followed up, "The road is blocked."
People in all ages were very afraid of the police, and after being yelled at by the two police, many people immediately dispersed, and those who did not disperse also kept their distance.
When Ji's mother saw the official coming, the tears that had not yet come out of her eyes suddenly flowed out, and she crawled to the official, "Sir, please help me! This man almost beat my son to death..."
She cried so hard that her face was covered with tears and snot, and she looked extremely disgusting. The officer was afraid of being stuck to her, so he kept a distance from Ji's mother with a look of disgust on his face.
Although the officer was disgusted, he still looked in the direction that Ji's mother pointed, and Ji Dafu's miserable appearance naturally came into his sight.
"Did you beat that guy?" He withdrew his gaze from Ji Dafu and turned to look at Ji Zheng. This kid was really cruel. He beat someone like that.
Although Ji Zheng was not familiar with the laws of that era, he was familiar with the officials of that era.
"It's not me." Ji Zheng denied without thinking, "We are here to watch the fun."
Officer: "..." Do you think I'm blind? Besides, if you don't want to admit it, you should wipe the blood off your hands.
This guy is really crazy. He looks like just a farmer, but he is so crazy. The officer narrowed his eyes and walked towards Ji Zheng.
"If it's not you..." Who else could it be? Before he could finish his words, two taels of silver were stuffed into his hand. "If it's not you, then what are you still doing here?"
"It is you, the official, who are talking to us." Ji Zheng said in a light tone. He called him "official", but his tone did not show that he treated the person as an official at all.
For the sake of two taels of silver, the official was not bothered. After all, he did not even earn one tael of silver a month as a constable.
"You don't look like someone who would hit anyone. Hurry up and leave and don't interfere with our work." The officer lied without blushing or beating his heart.
Ji Zheng led Ji He'an and walked quickly towards the clinic. Ji's mother watched Ji Zheng leave, and the police did not stop them. She immediately forgot to cry.
Looking at the stunned woman and Ji Dafu who couldn't even stand up, the officer thought for a moment, took out a coin from his pocket and threw it to Ji's mother, "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and go to the clinic!"
Ji's mother was fumbling with a hanging copper plate. She was not stupid and knew immediately that the official must have accepted Ji Zheng's favor. Thinking of this, she collapsed on the ground with a pale face.
The money had been paid, the road had been cleared, and most importantly, no one was killed. The two officers took the silver and went out to drink.
At the same time, in the other side of the clinic, Ji Zheng was applying the plaster gently on Ji Hean's red and swollen face with a look of heartache.
"Don't you know how to dodge when she hits you?" Ji Zheng's tone was filled with some disappointment, "You are so stupid to be beaten like this, it hurts you to death."
Knowing that Ji Zheng felt sorry for him, Ji Hean gave a silly smile and did not refute.
Seeing Ji Hean being so well-behaved, Ji Zheng couldn't bear to say anything to him. He sighed and said, "What would you have done if I hadn't come?"
"But you're here." Ji Hean was very optimistic. Although he was beaten, he was not sad at all because now someone supported him.
Ji He'an Yilai's tone successfully made Ji Zheng's depression disappear completely, "I'll have to find someone to follow you in the future."
He had decided that if he did business in the future, he would not be able to be with Ji He'an all the time, so he had to buy a servant for Ji He'an to follow him.
"Yeah." Although he didn't understand what Ji Zheng said, Ji Hean trusted Ji Zheng very much, so he would nod no matter what he said.
After applying the medicine, Ji Zheng pulled Ji Hean and prepared to leave. Because of what happened, they couldn't listen to the storytelling today. He planned to take Ji Hean to buy a face-covering hat and then go home.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" After thinking about it, I decided to go back after finishing my meal.
"I want to eat Yangchun noodles!" Ji Hean answered without thinking too much.
"Yangchun noodles? Why do you want to eat this?" In Ji Zheng's opinion, Yangchun noodles are just a little bone soup with some chopped green onions. The taste is not bad, but it is not much better either.
"That's what I want to eat." Ji Hean was embarrassed to say it because he always heard Ji Dafu say how delicious this noodles was.
"OK."
Ji Zheng first took his people to buy a face-covering hat, and then found a noodle restaurant to go in. Coincidentally, this noodle restaurant turned out to be Li Wencheng's.
He just thought that since there were so many people in the family, the food must be delicious, so he came. If he had come before, he would have just come, but if he went to eat now, given the personalities of the Li couple, they would probably not charge money.
Ji Zheng had already taken thirty taels of silver from his family, and he didn't want to take advantage of it again.
Looking at the busy father Li, Ji Zheng saw that he didn't notice him, so he pulled Ji Hean and quietly retreated.
Just as he retreated to the door, he saw Li Wencheng coming towards him. He was wearing a white robe with black trim. It looked like he had just returned from school. There was also a man who was half a head taller than him, wearing the same clothes as him. He must be his classmate.
Ji Zheng cursed inwardly, thinking that his luck today was not very good. He just hoped that Li Wencheng didn't see him.
But his hope was dashed just as it rose. Li Wencheng, who was far away, saw him and waved at him from a distance.
"Brother! Brother!" He shouted and ran towards him, attracting the attention of passers-by.
How embarrassing! Ji Zheng held his forehead with his hand.
"Brother, are you here to eat noodles? Is the person next to you my brother-in-law?" Li Wencheng asked without even catching his breath.
At this point, Ji Zheng was no longer pretending, "Well, He An wanted to eat noodles, and I heard from others that your noodles are the best in town, so we came here." He lied with all his might.
"That's right! I'm not bragging, in this town, my family is second to none and I dare not claim to be first!" Li Wencheng's tone was very proud.
While they were talking, the man who had been walking side by side with Li Wencheng had already come over.
"This is my elder brother Ji Zheng, who is also my savior. Next to him is my elder brother's husband Ji Hean." Li Wencheng introduced the man who followed him.
"Brother, he is my classmate and my best brother Lu Qin."
Last name Lu? If he remembered correctly, the county magistrate of this county was also surnamed Lu. Judging from the temperament and appearance of this man, he was most likely the son of the county magistrate.
Lu Qin has a very superior appearance, but his face is paralyzed and he looks a little cold.
Of course, in the days that followed, Lu Qin was indeed as cold as he appeared.
The two people being introduced nodded to each other as a greeting.
