Wang Fu, who lived at the foot of the mountain, was a man who often went out to the streets to rob women. Every time he robbed them, he would play with them for a few days and then throw them out.
His behavior will cause public resentment, but who can blame him since his father is the county magistrate?
The people do not fight against the officials, so the common people can only suffer in silence. They cannot express their dissatisfaction and have to suppress it in their hearts.
Nowadays, if a family has a pretty daughter, she will be sent to the countryside or to other relatives to be raised. After all... if you can't afford to offend her, you can at least hide away!
His behavior was not curbed, which resulted in him having a very stubborn temper, being arrogant but also easily vulnerable.
Now surrounded and threatened by so many civilians, Wang Fu could no longer endure it, but he was afraid of being beaten. He kept hiding behind his eldest brother and shouting, "Hand over the beauty if you know what's good for you! Otherwise, I will go down the mountain and let my father wipe out you bandits!!"
"You're a bunch of rabble! My father is the county magistrate, with hundreds of men under his command. He can wipe you out in a second!"
“…”
After Wang Fu said this, everyone in the village, including his eldest brother, turned very ugly.
Wang Cai wanted to pull his brother out and beat him up.
Damn, how could he have such an inconsiderate brother! Now they were at a disadvantage, surrounded by people!
"Heh." Xie Jingzhi glanced at them coldly, "It seems like there's no way we can reach an agreement on this cooperation."
"What?" Wang Cai was stunned and quickly spoke up to save the situation. "Boss, please don't bother with my brother. He has a congenital brain defect and his words don't count!"
His father had told him in person about this cooperation. They could put on airs to intimidate these bandits, but the cooperation must be negotiated.
"Brother?!" Wang Fu turned his head and looked at his brother in disbelief, "You said I'm mentally ill?"
Xie Jingzhi kept silent with a stern face. Lin Ye silently stepped forward and said, "Master, under the current circumstances, it is impossible for us to cooperate."
"Everyone heard what the Second Young Master said just now. He said to rob people, so he robbed people. He said to suppress bandits, so he suppressed bandits." Lin Ye shook the fan in his hand, "We can't let it go!"
"This...that's my brother talking nonsense. Our cooperation..." Wang Cai wiped the sweat from his forehead and frowned.
"Brother! Why waste time talking to them!" Wang Fu beeped loudly, "We shouldn't have cooperated with bandits in the first place! Wait until I get down the mountain! I'll definitely find someone to wipe you out! Let's see how arrogant you can be!"
Wang Cai hated himself for his slow reaction. He didn't have time to cover his brother's mouth. The bandits around him stared at him with vicious eyes, and he was so scared that his eyes went black.
If his brother keeps talking, even a county magistrate can't save them! They will definitely die on the mountain.
Thinking of this, Wang Cai quickly turned around and slapped Wang Fu hard in the face, "Shut up!!"
“Brother?!” Wang Fu covered his face in disbelief, his small eyes widening. “You…you hit me? Even my dad has never hit me!!”
Wang Cai shot him a look of dismay and cursed in a low voice, "If you don't want to die on this mountain, shut up!"
“…” Wang Fu covered his face and didn’t dare to speak. He had never seen his elder brother have such an ugly expression.
Wen Liyu had secretly walked up to Xie Jingzhi while they were fighting, using his tall figure to shield herself and secretly poking his waist with her finger.
Xie Jingzhi's serious expression was almost broken by her poke. He put his left hand behind his back, grabbed her naughty fingers, and pinched them punishingly.
Wen Liyu's eyes turned red from being pinched by him. She was so angry that she clenched her other hand into a fist and punched him in the waist.
As we all know, the action of forces is mutual.
Before Xie Jingzhi could even cry out in pain, Wen Liyu's tears started streaming down her face.
People around were envious when they saw the boss and his sister-in-law secretly interacting with each other, especially the young men who were not yet married. They felt very jealous.
At this time, some people saw their sister-in-law crying and widened their eyes in shock, wondering if they had missed some scene of "the boss domestically beating his sister-in-law".
How come my sister-in-law started crying in the blink of an eye?!
Wen Liyu noticed the gazes of people around her and felt embarrassed. She quickly buried her face in Xie Jingzhi's back and openly rubbed her tears and snot on his clothes.
Xie Jingzhi, who was still arguing with Lin Ye with the annoying guy: "..." What should I do if my wife is too spoiled?
In the end, Wang Cai and Wang Fu did not discuss the planned matters with them, and quickly fled down the mountain under the dark and bloodthirsty gazes of the bandits.
Wang Cai heaved a sigh of relief after getting down the mountain and sitting in his own carriage. He turned his head and glared at Wang Fu, "Go home and see how you're going to explain to Dad!"
"Tsk, Dad won't get angry over such a small matter." Wang Fu didn't know the seriousness of the matter yet, and his mind was full of the stunning woman he had just seen on the mountain.
Every frown and smile of the other person is so charming and beautiful, simply like a beautiful poppy that is addictive.
Wang Cai was too lazy to waste time talking to this untalented brother. He opened the curtains and shouted, "Hurry up!"
-
The annoying people left, and the little brothers who had been gathering in the open space also left one by one to do their own things.
Lin Ye left, fanning himself, intending to do some ideological work on his younger brothers, urging them not to become dissatisfied with the fact that he had not dealt with the Wang brothers.
He raised his eyebrows and made a "1" gesture to his friend, indicating that he would give him a cup of tea and wait for him in the reception room. If he didn't show up after a cup of tea, he would leave.
Xie Jingzhi glanced at him and said directly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Tsk." Lin Ye left, shaking his head, sighing, "Ah~~ Even a hero can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman..."
Wen Liyu looked up slowly after everyone had left, her nose and eyes still slightly red, "Xie Jingzhi."
"Yeah." Xie Jingzhi took her hand and walked towards his room. "You did very well this time and were not bullied."
"If I'm bullied in my own home, that's too bad." Wen Liyu shook her head, "I'm not a fool."
Xie Jingzhi was coaxed by the "own home" in her words and was extremely excited. "Jiaojiao is right."
He immediately reached out and picked her up, then ran home quickly. "You're so awesome, I'm going to reward you."
Wen Liyu was suddenly picked up and felt a little dizzy. Before she could react, she was returned to the room.
Realizing that Xie Liumang wanted to put her on the bed, Wen Liyu shuddered unconsciously and quickly grabbed his arm, "Wait, wait! I have something to tell you!"
"What's the matter?" Xie Jingzhi lowered his head and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is it more important than what I'm going to do now?"
"Of course!" Wen Liyu pouted and glared at him, "It's still daytime!"
"What's wrong with daytime?" Xie Jingzhi raised the corner of his mouth without hesitation, "Have you never heard of the term 'daytime debauchery'?"
"..." Wen Liyu raised her hand and grabbed his hair, pulling it down, and whispered threateningly, "I haven't recovered yet!"
The more she struggled, the more bad thoughts came into Xie Jingzhi's mind. He smiled and said, "Really? Let me check."
