Chapter 19 People You Shouldn't Provoke
"ah!"
It was Zhao Hai's cry of pain.
"hiss!"
"hiss!"
It was the sound of everyone gasping.
Except for the exile team who were used to it, everyone else was stunned. It was not until Zhao Hai yelled at them to go up and get the person that they reacted.
There weren't many officials at the post station, only a dozen or so, and some had gone out on business and hadn't returned yet. Including Zhao Hai, there were only eleven or twelve of them.
Li Dong silently took a few steps back, away from the battlefield.
I mourned for Zhao Hai for a second in my heart, hoping that he wouldn't be beaten too badly later.
Ever since Zhao Hai climbed to this position, has he ever been slapped in public?
What's more, this is an exiled prisoner!
"This is outrageous! The Bai family is trying to rebel. Let's all go and capture them. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"
When more than a dozen yamen runners heard that they could start a massacre, they drew their swords and rushed forward.
"They're trying to kill us to silence us. What should we do? Should we just wait for death or rebel?"
Bai Li looked at his father calmly, as if he was saying, "The weather is nice today, why not go out and play?"
Bai Zongren was depressed and didn't know what to do. He couldn't just surrender and let others kill his whole family, right?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is not my fault!
"They want our heads, Bai family men, let's fight!"
Bai Li could deal with those dozen or so rookies without even having to take any action.
Bai Li sat with his legs crossed and acted as a martial arts instructor.
"Dad, you need to punch faster and harder. Big brother, your reaction is too slow!"
"Uncle Two and Uncle Three, have you guys not eaten? Your fists are like cotton!"
"Sanlang, Silang, Wulang, you are weak, you must work together and cooperate with each other!"
"Bai Zongshen! Why are you hiding behind me?"
"White Tiger! You coward, you actually deserted the battlefield!"
Li Dong and others: ...
The ladies of Limingyue: ...
Zhao Hai turned around and saw more than a dozen yamen runners lying on the ground, with that little girl chattering beside them.
He was furious and rushed towards her with a roar and a knife in hand!
Bai Zongren didn't even bother to stop him this time, just let this stupid guy bear the wrath of his daughter!
Facing the fierce knife, Bai Li didn't even bat an eyelid. When Zhao Hai thought that she would be stabbed through by his knife and would be dead, his wrist holding the knife suddenly felt a pain, and the knife fell to the ground with a "clang".
Looking down, he saw that his wrist had been twisted, with his five fingers twisted in a strange shape.
"Ahhhhh!!! I'm going to kill you!"
He used his other good hand to punch Bai Li in the face.
“Crack!”
"I'm sorry, I wanted to leave you a good hand, but it's a pity you didn't want it!"
Zhao Hai's hands were broken and he rolled on the ground wailing in pain.
He suddenly realized that Li Dong and others were just watching the fun and had not helped at all.
"It's you! You're in cahoots with the Bai family and want to rebel!"
Li Dong couldn't let him put the big hat of rebellion on his head. He spread his hands and said, "You said he was rebelling, but look, he's not running away, and he didn't kill you. You're slandering him. Even if you report him to the emperor, he won't be afraid of you!"
Li Dong's men all said that the Bai family was very well-behaved, but Zhao Hai and Li Dong did not get along and deliberately framed them.
No one noticed that there was anything wrong with their use of the word "well-behaved". Zhao Hai stared with wide eyes at the person they called "well-behaved". Some were eating melons, some were cracking melon seeds, and some were looking at him with pity.
Bai Li walked towards the yamen runners lying on the ground, shook his fist and said, "Tell me, is it Zhao Hai who is deliberately framing the loyal officials, or are we rebelling?"
Under the demon woman's death gaze, a dozen or so yamen runners hurriedly said, "He deliberately framed us!"
The most important thing is to save your life first. How can you say no after they leave?
Their plan was good, but unfortunately, a piece of paper covered with words was stuffed into their hands the next second. Under the gaze of the female devil, oh no, under the gaze of the goddess, more than a dozen people rushed to bite their fingers and press their fingerprints.
Zhao Hai opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief.
She actually dared to force a confession in front of so many people!
Bai Li received the paper covered with red fingers with satisfaction and walked up to him with a smile.
"It's your turn now. If you want to break your legs again (accidentally) and be a cripple for the rest of your life, you don't have to sign."
Zhao Hai's pupils shrank sharply. Now that his arms and legs were broken, what difference would that make him dead?
No, there is still a difference. It would be better to die now, but if you become lame, it would be worse than death!
Under the gaze of death, he had no choice but to put his twisted fingers in his mouth, bite them, and press them on the designated position!
When Bai Li bent down to pick up the paper, he encountered resistance.
With a sharp look, the paper loosened and she easily got it.
"Don't even think about revenge. If you cause trouble again, not only will your life be in danger, but your family will suffer as well!"
Zhao Hai's proud head finally lowered and shook like a rattle.
He was horrified. This female devil was simply a spirit. She even knew what he was thinking. He couldn't afford to offend her. He should have not competed with Li Dong earlier!
When Li Dong saw Zhao Hai's current appearance, the depression in his heart was swept away and he felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
He tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth and went forward to help the man up.
"Oh, I just told you not to talk nonsense and get angry easily. Look at what you've done."
Zhao Hai was deeply moved. His hand was in so much pain, and no one came to help him, let alone Li Dong...
No, he had known for a long time that the Bai family was not easy to mess with, and he did it on purpose just now!
Li Dong is wronged!!
Did he let him get stuck on purpose?
Did he let him be greedy and withhold the carriage?
It’s you, it’s you!
Without you, this wouldn't be happening today!
The two of them were huddled together, arguing with each other.
Bai Li didn't care about all this. She had already instructed Li Rong and the others to go to the street to buy things. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have to spend the night outside the city.
She just used her mental power to scan around. She found that someone had died in the accommodation house at the inn not long ago, and the blood on the ground had not been cleaned up yet. That was why she didn't want to live there.
On the official road thirty miles away from Jincheng, several horses carrying several men in black tights were galloping towards Jincheng.
Zhao Yuntian, on horseback, came to Jincheng on the orders of King Wei to contact a foreign businessman who had sneaked into the city to offer weapons to King Wei.
"Xiao Fuzi, how long will it take to get to Jincheng?"
"Master, according to the map, we will arrive in another hour."
"Jincheng is the junction of three states and four counties. I heard that it is as prosperous and bustling as the capital. We can finally see it with our own eyes!"
"You kid, you heard that the women in Jincheng have waists as soft as snakes, faces as beautiful as flowers and fiery passions, so you came here because of their reputation, right?"
"You know more than me. This should be your purpose, right?"
Several subordinates were joking with each other, but when they saw Zhao Yuntian's gloomy face, they silently shut their mouths.
