After hearing what happened yesterday, those playboys had wanted to find out who this Madam Xu was and teach her a lesson so they could curry favor with Zhou Shancai, but they didn't expect to suffer such a loss. If they really made a scene at Jisheng Bookstore, they would be lucky if they could avoid offending anyone, not to mention currying favor with them.
Then Xu Jiang said, "Neighbors, you saw this group of thugs beating up innocent people. I was so eager to save them that I had no choice but to injure them. If this ever gets brought to court, I'd appreciate it if you all testified on my behalf."
The rice shop owner hurriedly shouted, "Okay! I'm willing to testify."
As soon as he spoke, people around him stood up to support him.
"You still want to report me to the authorities? Wait till you receive my complaint." Hu Xu stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I have a reputation for being a man of honor. If I assaulted a court scholar in the street, I would be beaten with twenty sticks upon entering the government office. With so many witnesses, I'm sure to win this case. Then, you can sentence me to imprisonment at the very least, or exile at the worst. I'll see who gets the worst of it."
Those playboys were already in the wrong, and after hearing Hu Xu's threats, how could they dare to be stubborn? They quickly got up from the ground and tried to run.
Xu Jiang was quick to pull the donkey over and stop the man. "You beat up someone from my bookstore and you want to leave? It won't be that easy."
The dandy stared at the two donkeys in fear and stammered, "What else do you want? You're fighting back too!"
"Zhuchun, bring me paper and pen. I want them to write a confession!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Xu immediately turned around and went into the shop to get paper and pen, and placed them on the stone table under the tree.
"I won't write!" If he wrote, he would be controlled! The dandy refused without a second thought.
“Yes, I won’t write it!”
Xu Jiang snorted coldly, "Then the government office or the Jisheng Bookstore, you pick one, and we'll go wherever you say we'll go."
Those playboys looked at each other in confusion.
"Will you write it?" Xu Jiang continued to ask.
It seemed that today's matter would not be resolved unless it was written down, so the playboys had no choice but to walk slowly under the tree.
Hu Xu dragged the leading dandy to the stone table and said coldly, "Please come in."
After everyone finished writing, Xu Jiang asked them to read it word by word to the neighbors.
"As testified by the neighbors, every word in these confessions is true and there is no way they could be falsified." After reading it, Xu Jiang asked them to sign and seal their names in front of everyone before letting them go.
After they left, Xu Jiang got off the donkey and bowed to the neighbors, saying, "Thank you very much."
Then he walked up to Hu Xu to check his injuries.
Hu Xu said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm fine."
Mi Pudong's boss secretly said: What an idiot, he has to pretend to be busy even though nothing is wrong at this time!
"Let me take a look." Xu Jiang stubbornly checked him over. Seeing that there were no injuries to his bones, he felt relieved. "Fortunately, they are just superficial injuries."
After seeing Hu Xu, she went to see the rice shop owner. "Thanks to the owner's help, are you hurt?"
Mi Pudong shook his head. "They didn't hit me. They hit Zhuchun with their fists."
Looking at the mess and the injured Hu Xu, Xu Jiang's good mood disappeared.
