That night.
Le Jing was awakened by a crisp dog barking. He sat up from the bed alertly and heard a man cursing and struggling in the yard. Le Jing sat quietly for a while, and when he heard Zhou Da shouting outside, he put on his clothes, got out of bed, and opened the door.
By this time the yard was already in chaos.
With the help of the bright moonlight, Le Jing could clearly see two slender black dogs ferociously pouncing on the strange man and biting him. The man was lying on the ground with his face covered, rolling around and screaming miserably. Le Jing raised his eyebrows at the pool of blood on the ground. Zhou Daben wanted to pull the dogs away, but accidentally glanced at the boy who was watching indifferently not far away. He was frightened by the indifference in the boy's eyes and lowered his eyebrows. His breathing became much lighter, and he wished he didn't exist.
"Brother, what happened?!"
"Don't come over here." Le Jing stopped Li Shuran from running over, glanced at the two big black dogs that were ferociously biting the man, and finally said coldly, "Da Mo, Xiao Mo, come back."
The black dogs stopped their ferocious biting movements suddenly and let go of the man at the same time. They ran to Le Jing with their tongues out and said "hada hada" to ask for credit. Le Jing touched their heads in appreciation and said to Li Shuran who was standing obediently in the corridor and peeking out, "Go to the kitchen and get me a piece of pork. Damo and Xiaomo have done a great job this time. We have to reward them well." When they heard the word "meat", the two black dogs wagged their tails even more happily.
The two dogs are quite human-like. They are both excellent Chinese breeds - Shandong Fine Dogs, which have been bred in China for more than 2,000 years. They are excellent hunting and guard dogs, and are also the prototypes of the Roaring Sky Dog in mythology. Da Mo and Xiao Mo were bought by Le Jing from a dog fighting arena at a high price. They are fierce and bloodthirsty, but loyal to their masters. They are more than enough to deal with one or two "petty thieves" who break into houses.
After learning that he and his sister were being targeted by a villain like Nan Tang, Le Jing bought two dogs and placed them in the yard just in case. Now, what he had been waiting for has finally happened.
After sending Li Shu away, Le Jing squatted down in front of the man lying on the ground groaning and asked softly, "Who sent you here?"
The man's groaning paused. After a few seconds, he put down his bloody hands, crawled up and prostrated on the ground with tears in his eyes. "I have old people and children at home. I beg you to forgive me..." He glanced at the two dogs staring at him covetously, and shuddered. "I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again..."
Le Jing chuckled, his tone unchanged, "Who sent you?"
The man's eyes drifted away, and he stammered, "No one sent me here. It was...it was me who was tempted by the money, it was me who was blinded by greed..."
Le Jing didn't even look at him, but just gently combed Da Mo's hair and said lightly: "I advise you to think about your answer. It's nothing for a guard dog to bite one or two thieves to death. I don't even need to pay compensation." He patted the dog's head affectionately and asked gently; "Da Mo, you haven't eaten human flesh yet, right? It looks like you've had some meat today." Maybe the word meat touched the nerves of the two black dogs. They grinned, revealing their sharp teeth, and drooled bloody saliva. The man was shaking all over, and his face looked like he would faint at any time.
"I just don't know if the person who sent you here has given you enough money to buy your life." Under the moonlight, the young man looked at him with a smile, his eyes were colder than the night.
This sentence completely became the last straw that broke the man's back. He completely collapsed and rushed to tell Le Jing everything he knew, just begging him to spare his life. It was almost the same as what Le Jing had thought before. This man was indeed Nan Tang, that is, Tang Nan had sent him to "teach him a lesson".
Tang Nan was a high-profile young man on the surface, but in fact, he had always had a good relationship with some gang members secretly. Because of his generosity, he had gained a lot of followers. So when he was in trouble, he would naturally have his followers to help him out with a lot of money. The man in front of him was just here to scout the place, but he was caught by two dogs who were waiting for him.
Le Jing came back to his senses and saw the man with tears and snot all over his face, looking at him eagerly. Le Jing nodded and said with a smile: "Since this is your first offense, I will forgive you this time."
Before the man could even smile joyfully, he heard the young man gasp and say, "Wait here now. I have something for you."
The man was waiting there trembling with fear. Zhou Da saw that the man had no idea what was going on in his mind. His face turned pale and blue, and blood was dripping all over the ground, but he seemed not to feel the pain.
Not long after, Le Jing came back. He took out a purse, counted out five silver dollars and handed them to the man in front of his incredulous gaze, "Use it to treat your injuries, and the extra money can be used as nutrition expenses."
Zhou Da was dazzled by the silver light, and was also secretly amazed at the generosity of his boss. He had also seen the wound, which was just a flesh wound. It would cost at most two silver dollars for the doctor to bandage it, not five silver dollars.
As expected, the man was also stunned. He seemed not to have expected Le Jing to give him money. For a moment, he stood there at a loss and did not dare to take it.
"Go ahead." Le Jing said, "I'm only giving you this money for the sake of your longevity lock's owner." He glanced at the small longevity lock that had fallen from the ground during the fight. It was engraved with auspicious patterns and looked like something that belonged to a little girl. "Is this what you bought for your daughter?" He extended his hand forward again and said impatiently, "Take it. Go back and heal your wounds well. Don't scare your daughter."
The man was stunned for a while, took the money with trembling hands, and kowtowed to Le Jing several times without saying a word.
"Stop knocking. I think you should also understand the origin of this matter. It's just that Zhang Defu, Tang Nan's personal servant, is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. He pestered my sister and wanted to destroy her when his love failed. Then Tang Nan helped the evil and did everything he could to target my brother and sister." The young man's clear questioning sounded above his head: "You are also a man with a daughter. Let me ask you, if someone wants to humiliate your daughter one day, what will you do?"
The man with his forehead on the ground was silent for a while, then he kowtowed and choked up as he answered, "This time... I am sorry, sir. I was bewitched by the devil..."
"Okay, stop apologizing. Let's go." The young man said impatiently, "Next time you come, I won't be soft-hearted. Tang Nan, that coward, hid himself and paid you to work for him. It was a good plan. You can also tell Tang Nan that if he wants me to send him to the police station and make him a laughing stock, just send someone."
The man kowtowed to him silently, put the longevity lock and the silver dollar in his arms, and suddenly said to Le Jing: "I am Liao Fang, and if you have any instructions in the future, you can come to the dock to find me." After that, he looked at Le Jing deeply, and left without looking back.
Zhou Da breathed a sigh of relief and began to praise Le Jing for his kindness. Le Jing smiled.
Kind and merciful?
If Le Jing could become such a person, then he must have been possessed by a spirit. The reason why Le Jing not only released Liao Fang but also gave him money to recover from his injuries was certainly not for Liao Fang's daughter whom he had never met, but because of the gang that Liao Fang belonged to - the Qing Gang.
These two words represent too many things in the Republic of China. His original enemy was only Tang Nan, Liao Fang was just an errand boy. Although the headquarters of the Green Gang was far away in Shanghai, they also had a base in Beijing, so there was no need to conflict with the Green Gang. The so-called longevity lock was just an excuse. Even if there was no longevity lock, Le Jing would have made up some nonsense like your mother is waiting for you at home.
…
So the next day when Yang Jinglun came to Le Jing's house to collect the manuscripts, he found that Mr. Li, a model worker who always submitted manuscripts on time, not only said that he had not written a single word, but also informed him that the "Rat Eyes Look Down on People" series might have to be temporarily shelved.
Yang Jinglun: ???
Just when Yang Jinglun began to reflect on whether he had done something wrong to anger Mr. Li, he learned something from Mr. Li that made him furious, "Sir, this Tang Nan is too lawless! Don't be afraid, I know a few people in the police station..."
"Call the police?" Le Jing raised his eyebrows and chuckled, his smile was full of indescribable contempt, "If they could arrest Tang Nan, China would have been a peaceful and prosperous country long ago."
As expected, like master, like servant. Zhang Defu usually behaves so arrogantly, and he follows suit when it comes to responsibility.
Yang Jinglun choked and smiled awkwardly. How could he not understand the reason behind this?
The police in the Republic of China always believed in one truth: whoever feeds you is your mother. If it comes to relationships, Le Jing, who has no one to rely on, can't really compete with Tang Nan, an old Beijinger born in a landlord family.
However, Le Jing was not without a way to deal with Tang Nan. To deal with a person like him, you have to attack him from the place he cares about the most.
What did Tang Nan care about most? Of course, his reputation. Ruining his reputation would be more painful than killing him. Le Jing was just trying his hand at it, but Tang Nan was forced to send someone to teach Le Jing a lesson. This was just handing Le Jing the handle.
How should Le Jing deal with Nan Tang? The entertainment industry in later generations provided him with a textbook-like classic tutorial.
Le Jing: Check out the brainwashing package.
As for Zhang Defu, haha, without Tang Nan's support, she is nothing.
