Chapter 1870 So what if I'm old?
Lu Sanzhu chuckled, pulled Chen Bing out, and kicked him.
Chen Bing, being older, was no match for the strong and robust Lu Sanzhu. After being kicked twice in the back, he hurriedly scrambled to the side.
He rolled around while yelling, "Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why are you hitting me? Stop it, don't hit me anymore!"
Lu Sanzhu didn't care; he just wanted to vent his anger.
The Pan family courtyard was instantly thrown into chaos. Although there were indeed many Pan family members, they were all weak and powerless, no match for the Lu family. The situation quickly turned one-sided.
Pan's brother-in-law stood aside, stamping his feet and shouting, "Stop! All of you, stop! Where did you come from, you scoundrels? You've really gone too far, coming to our house to beat people up!"
Knowing that fists and feet have no eyes, he dared not step forward. Seeing the neighbors watching at the door, he hurriedly cried for help, "Everyone, please help! These people are really bandits and robbers! They're going to beat someone to death! Help me!"
The neighbors exchanged bewildered glances, while some quick-thinking individuals turned and ran outside, intending to seek help from the patrolling soldiers. However, she soon discovered that the soldiers, who had been patrolling frequently lately, were nowhere to be seen after a long wait.
Some enthusiastic neighbors tried to run into the Pan family's house, but were stopped by Xia Yan, who was standing at the door.
He said with a smile, "This is a personal matter, so it's best if you all don't get involved. Otherwise, fists and kicks have no eyes, and it wouldn't be good if anyone got hurt."
"But you guys are really going too far! How can you go to someone's house and beat them up? What did the Pan family do to offend you?"
Xia Yan said, "We didn't lay a hand on the Pan family. The only person we ever targeted was Chen Bing."
As he spoke, he turned to the side to let people see what was inside.
The neighbors saw that they were indeed only beating up Chen Bing. Although the other members of the Pan and Chen families were stopped, the Lu family would only be able to stop them unless they made the first move.
This, this...
"This son-in-law of the Chen family is quite old. It's not right for you to beat him like this. Or have you really lost all sense of law and are openly committing murder?"
No sooner had the neighbor finished speaking than he felt a strong gaze on his back.
He was startled and turned his head to see the girl still standing by the carriage.
Shu Yu laughed at him, "So what if you're old? Does being old mean you can be easily forgiven for doing bad things? Does that mean the imperial court and government can release all older criminals without charge?"
"I... I didn't mean that."
Shu Yu, "Then what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, you two need to clarify things first, or perhaps there's some misunderstanding?"
As the man spoke, he noticed that the old lady and Granny Fang were looking over, and for some reason, he lost his confidence, and his voice weakened.
Unexpectedly, Shu Yu nodded, "You're right."
She finally made a move, helping the old lady walk towards the Pan family's gate.
The Pan family members were still shouting loudly, struggling angrily while cursing, "There is no law anymore! Murder! Where did these bandits and robbers come from, breaking into our homes in broad daylight and committing such a heinous act?"
Chen Bing was howling like a banshee, clutching his head as he collapsed to the ground, being beaten down by Lu Sanzhu.
"Third Uncle, that's enough." As soon as Shu Yu called out, Lu Sanzhu stopped and spat at Chen Bing.
"You got off easy." He hadn't even had his fill of beating yet.
