The abbot asked dismissively, "I'm just a peasant, what can you do to me? You think you can expel me from my peasant status? What a joke!"
"Third brother, you...you're working for Ma Yunfei, what benefits has he given you?"
“Ma Yunfei is the boss, and I’m going to listen to him and work for him. Whether there are any benefits or not is another matter. I’m not like you, who turns his back on people.”
"Third brother, don't be fooled by Ma Yunfei. On the surface, he seems to treat you well, but in reality, he's just using you and treating you like a beast of burden, making you work for him."
The abbot slapped Erlu twice more, saying fiercely, "You want to sow discord between me and the boss? No way! Let me tell you: I'm willing to be the boss's slave."
"Abbot, you have the audacity to hit me! Have you forgotten that my uncle is the town mayor? If I so much as utter a smirk, you'll be in big trouble."
When the abbot saw that Erlu was still being stubborn even after being beaten, he became furious.
He swung his fist and punched Erlu in the face.
Erlu let out a miserable cry and spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two teeth.
"Help!"
Erlu cried out in anguish.
Chen Yuyan was startled and ran over nervously.
He had only taken two steps when he was grabbed by the wild girl.
Ye Ya said, "Brother Ma told us not to meddle in other people's business."
"Ye Ya, as you know, the abbot has a fiery temper. When he gets angry, he doesn't care about the consequences. If he accidentally hurts Er Lv, that would be terrible."
Ye Ya curled her lip and said dismissively, "Sister, I think Er Lv deserves a beating. He should be given a good beating. Look at his pathetic appearance, all swaggering around, acting like a stationmaster in front of us."
Erlu punched Erlu in the face again.
"Help! Murder!!"
Chen Yuyan shook off Ye Ya and ran over, saying in a panic, "Third brother, what...what are you doing? You're brothers, how can you fight?"
The abbot asked fiercely, "Erlu, if you shout again, I'll stuff your mouth with a stinky sock."
The abbot cried out in pain, begging for mercy: "Third brother, I won't shout anymore, I won't shout anymore, please spare me, don't hit me anymore..."
"I'm asking you: Do you still dare to dismiss the deputy station chief from his post?"
"I wouldn't dare. Let the boss be the deputy stationmaster, no, let the boss be the stationmaster..."
"I'll ask you again: 'Are you still going to interfere in the affairs of the sales outlets?'"
"I...I will never get involved in the sales outlet again. I won't come here anymore, never again..."
"Erlu, I'm warning you: if you dare to cause trouble again, I'll beat you to death and send you to the Western Paradise!"
Erlu knew how formidable the abbot was, but he never expected the abbot to turn on him so ruthlessly and beat him mercilessly.
The abbot punched Erlu twice, swelling his face and knocking out several teeth.
"Erlv, I'll let you off the hook for now. But if you don't repent, I'll take your life next time. Don't think I'm just joking. I'm a man of my word."
"Third brother, I understand. I will definitely mend my ways."
Chen Yuyan pulled the abbot away and helped Erlu up from the ground.
Erlu covered his face and ran away unsteadily.
He went directly to his aunt's house.
Liu Fei was cleaning when she saw Erlv covering his face and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Erlu burst into tears, sobbing as he recounted, "The abbot beat me up and knocked out five of my teeth! Auntie, look at my face, it's swollen like a meat bun..."
Liu Fei was startled when she saw it and said nervously, "Er Lv, hurry up and go to the clinic."
Liu Fei helped Erlv to the health center.
Erlu's face was swollen from being hit, and his mouth was also cut. The doctor prescribed some medicine.
Liu Fei asked, "Erlu, you and the abbot are brothers, how did you two fall out?"
“Aunt, I…I want to remove Ma Yunfei from his position as deputy station chief. The abbot is protecting Ma Yunfei and is even disciplining me on Ma Yunfei’s behalf. I think: Ma Yunfei must have instigated the abbot to beat me.”
"Erlv, is Ma Yunfei just going to stand by and watch the abbot beat you up?"
"Ma Yunfei isn't here; they said he went to various villages."
Liu Fei said angrily, "This abbot is simply outrageous. Since he doesn't acknowledge you as his brother, we won't be polite to him either."
Liu Fei took the abbot to the police station.
The station chief inquired about the situation and then told the two police officers, "Go to the sales station and bring the abbot to me."
Two police officers went to the sales station in handcuffs.
The abbot is carrying yams.
When Chen Yuyan saw the police arrive, she hurriedly said to the abbot, "Third brother, something terrible has happened! Two police officers have arrived. You'd better hide quickly."
The abbot said dismissively, "What's there to hide from? You can hide for a day, but you can't hide forever. I beat Erlu up, and he'll definitely go to his uncle to complain. His uncle is the town mayor, so of course he'll have the police station arrest me. I'm not afraid. At worst, I'll just spend a few days in detention."
Chen Yuyan advised, "Third brother, are you stupid? Hurry up and hide. Once this storm passes, everything will be fine. If you don't hide, you'll get arrested and might even be sentenced. What will happen to our parents if you go to jail? Listen to your sister-in-law and go hide in the warehouse. I'll tell the police that you went to the village."
The abbot patted his chest nonchalantly and said, "A hero takes responsibility for his actions. Since I beat Erlu, I'm not afraid of going to jail."
The police officer walked into the sales station and asked, "Who is the abbot?"
The abbot replied, "That is me."
Two police officers rushed over, grabbed the abbot's arms, and handcuffed him.
"Let's go. You're really something, kid. You actually dared to hit the mayor's nephew. You're asking for trouble."
Wild Girl said discontentedly, "It's just two punches, why put him in handcuffs? That's making a mountain out of a molehill."
A policeman looked at the wild girl and asked, "Young lady, you must be the girl from Longwang Mountain who can hit the bullseye with a single shot, right?"
"Yes, I will never change my name, whether I stand or sit. My name is Ye Ya. I think you shouldn't have arrested the abbot."
A police officer said kindly, "Young lady, don't meddle in other people's business. The abbot isn't your relative, why are you sticking up for him?"
Another police officer said, "Ye Ya, just do what you're supposed to do and don't meddle in other people's business. I want to advise you: don't cause trouble in Qinglong Town. Although others are afraid of you, we police officers are not afraid of you."
Chen Yuyan quickly pulled Ye Ya to her side and scolded, "Little sister, shut up, you're not allowed to say another word."
"Sister, don't I even have the right to speak?"
"Girl, listen to me, don't try to fight a losing battle."
Wild Girl fell silent.
The two police officers took the abbot away.
Chen Yuyan knew that Ma Yunfei hadn't gone far, so she quickly ran to the street and looked around.
Just then, Ma Yunfei walked out of the Baixing Restaurant.
Chen Yuyan rushed over and said in a panic, "Honey, something terrible has happened! The abbot has been arrested by the police."
