The sudden remark surprised everyone.
The woman kept tugging at Liu Quan's clothes: "Honey, can you stop being so stubborn!"
The constables stared at him with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a brilliant mind.
Is there something wrong with this guy?
It's not like I'm asking you to pay for it. There really are people like that who would rather go to jail than pay for their medicine.
The man who had been beaten grinned and said, "Alright, take him away. I really admire you now!"
Liu Quan smiled and said, "People like you have a foul mouth. You might get pushed into a ditch and fall to your death one day without even knowing it."
The man was furious; he even walked in an odd way, moving closer to Liu Quan.
"Fuck, you've got guts."
*Splat*
Liu Quan used the "monkey picking peaches" trick again, even squeezing it hard.
"Awoo~"
The man rolled his eyes, his facial muscles contorted, and he collapsed to the ground, dizzy.
"You beast, you're coming again?"
The voice suddenly rose eight octaves.
Uncle Fu looked at him speechlessly.
That's courting death.
Now it will take more effort to get them out of trouble.
The men around him sneered, "Officer, look at this guy, so arrogant. Why don't you arrest him and lock him up in jail for a few days?"
Is this still the people's government?
The constable shook his head slightly at Uncle Fu, apologizing.
The woman cried and pounded on Liu Quan's chest, yelling, "You son of a bitch, you're asking for it..."
Liu Quan remained calm and said in a low voice, "Don't go to the prison to take the money. I'll be out in a few days."
The woman opened her mouth, then seemed to understand something, and used even more force in her hands.
The two children watched their father being taken away with blank expressions, not even noticing the candied hawthorns they were holding falling to the ground...
"father!"
"Don't cry, stay home and wait for me."
Liu Quan lowered his head, his lips slightly pursed.
The man's accomplice glared at the woman and cursed, "If I don't do something, I'll find someone to beat him up. He's too damn arrogant!"
A chill ran through the woman's heart.
He grabbed a broom from the doorway and started slapping it at those people.
"I'm not afraid of you, you dog, fuck me."
Looking dejected, she left hand in hand with her two children.
Uncle Fu comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. That brother is standing up for the study. I will find someone to take care of him."
The woman nodded, saying bitterly, "Thank you. Why are you so stubborn? Why do you have to meddle in other people's business? Are you trying to make yourself look good?"
The onlookers sighed and said, "Yeah, someone with such a short temper will always suffer."
"I don't know if I was seeing things, but that man's lips were smiling just now?"
"No way, they've all been arrested and are still laughing? Are they crazy or mentally ill? They're really twisted."
Uncle Fu tried to calm the onlookers, but when he heard what they said, he initially paid little attention and then stood there in silence.
This guy must be one of Brother Chen's men, right? Could he really be using this as an excuse to cause trouble?
Not long after, Chen Xian heard Liu Quan's wife's account and was slightly taken aback.
"Mr. Chen, my husband is just impatient. He heard that the book was bad, which led to a conflict. I only understood the situation later."
That man was the rival of the scholar, someone he specifically brought over to annoy people.
"What should we do, Mr. Chen? You're the only person our family knows."
Chen Xian comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll find someone to help me and ask about the situation."
Only then did I realize that Liu Quan was quite cunning. He had come up with his own plan without my intervention, intending to go directly into the prison to do his thing.
This guy is a real talent.
As I stepped outside, I ran into Uncle Fu.
Chen Xian: "Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you again this time."
Uncle Fu pointed at him and teased, "It's naturally most appropriate for me to lend a hand, since that man only stepped forward because of my family's study."
...
The time came one week later, on the morning of the following day.
During this period, the cases of Judge Dee have been making headlines.
Even Lu Chengfeng's side was somewhat discouraged.
It has absolutely no impact on anyone else, damn it.
"Damn it, what has Qingyunlou been up to lately? They don't even know to step forward and promote their stories. Are they just playing dumb?"
And Mr. Xu is also reportedly writing a book behind closed doors; he even refused my invitation to visit him. Damn it.
...
At the Beixi Bookstore, Manager Zhao looked at the posts on the forum's walls, and he too fell into confusion...
Could it be that I really made the wrong bet?
Since I shut down all the storytelling performances about Qiannu and Lu Pan in the bookstore, the bookstore's business has recently plummeted...
There are hardly any people left.
They all flocked to Xuan Nan Academy.
Furthermore, the storybook of Judge Dee's case has recently been adapted into a storytelling performance, which is selling very well at Xuan Nan Bookstore!
The shop assistants were also restless, chatting idly while leaning on the counter from time to time.
Manager Zhao stayed in his room, and despite the bright sunshine outside, he drew all the curtains closed.
The whole person was hidden inside...
They drank pot after pot of hot tea.
Instructor Xu, are you even capable?
Zhao betrayed that person for your sake.
And Qingyunlou, are you a good-for-nothing too?
At the seminar, Manager Zhao read all the posts, which were like snowflakes.
They were all criticizing that person.
But why is it all thunder and no rain? You old folks, why don't you bring out something real and tangible?
What good is empty talk!
