Chapter 23: Almost Hanged from the Roof Beam



Ma Yunfei decided to go to Majiawan first.

Majiawan is his home, and the village chief, Ma Bajin, has always been at odds with him. Last time, he even sent militiamen to arrest him.

If it weren't for his wife Chen Yuyan giving Ma Bajin a generous gift, Ma Yunfei would still be on the run.

Ma Yunfei's motorcycle drove into Majiawan.

In this remote village, even riding a bicycle would attract a lot of onlookers, let alone a large motorcycle.

The sound of the motorcycles startled many villagers, who rushed out to join the commotion.

Many villagers were running after the motorcycles.

"Wow! Ma Yunfei looks so cool riding his motorcycle!"

"Did this kid win money gambling again and buy a big motorcycle?"

"Hmph! Ma Yunfei, that gambler, is too flashy. He even has a woman with him. Does he have a mistress?"

Ma Yunfei rode his motorcycle straight to the village committee.

There is a public toilet at the entrance of the village committee.

Liu Fei said, "Son, stop the car quickly, I need to use the restroom. I had porridge for breakfast this morning."

Liu Fei jogged into the public restroom.

Ma Yunfei pushed his motorcycle into the village committee compound and shouted, "Ma Bajin, come out and greet me!"

A number of villagers were gathered in the courtyard of the village committee, seemingly waiting to be assigned jobs.

The villagers were stunned when they saw Ma Yunfei pushing a brand-new motorcycle.

A bald man walked out of the village committee building, and some villagers greeted him, "Company Commander, hello!"

Ma Yunfei thought to himself: It seems that he is the village militia company commander, Ma Tuzi.

He had heard from his wife, Chen Yuyan, that Ma Tuzi was the village chief's nephew. Relying on the fact that he had a few militiamen under his command, he acted like a tyrant in the village. If he didn't like someone, he would have the militiamen tie him up and hang him from the roof beam of the village committee warehouse.

Baldy Ma spotted Ma Yunfei at a glance and said fiercely, "You've got some nerve, kid, coming to the village committee and yelling at people like that. Come on, tie him up!"

Several men rushed up and pinned Ma Yunfei to the ground.

Ma Yunfei questioned, "What right do you have to kidnap me?"

Baldy Ma, hands on his hips, said smugly, "Kid, I can tie you up whenever I want. Why should I? Because I'm the militia company commander, I have the power."

"You...you kidnapped someone for no reason, that's illegal!"

"Heh...you think you know the law? Let me ask you: since you know the law, why did you organize gambling? You've been gambling for ten years, everyone in Majiawan knows. I was going to tie you up last time, but you got away, heh...you delivered yourself right to my doorstep, who else should I tie up if not you?"

“Bald Ma, open your eyes and look, I’m not the Ma Yunfei I used to be.”

Baldy Ma walked up to Ma Yunfei, looked him up and down, and asked, "You're like a toad yawning, all talk and no action. Let me see: do you have two noses and four eyes? Haha... I think you only have one nose."

"Baldy Ma, you...you better untie me right now, or I'll make you regret it."

"Haha... Kid, I heard you're the adopted son of Yiqiangzhun from Dragon King Mountain, but I don't believe that lie. You might be trying to use your connections to scare others, but you can't fool me. Even if you are Yiqiangzhun's adopted son, he's dozens of miles away. If you're so capable, why don't you give a shout and let Yiqiangzhun come and save you?"

“Baldy Ma, you…you’ve been a tyrant in this village, committing countless evils. Today is the day to settle your scores. If you know what’s good for you, untie me right now, kneel at my feet, and beg for my forgiveness.”

"Ha ha……"

Baldy Ma threw his head back and laughed, laughing so hard he almost fell over. After he had laughed enough, he said to the villagers, "Did you all hear that? In broad daylight, Ma Yunfei is still having a dream."

The villagers whispered among themselves:

Was Ma Yunfei drunk?

"Ma Yunfei's attitude is too arrogant. He's just a small-time gambler. Before, he used to fawn over everyone like a lapdog. What's wrong with him today?"

"Once he's hung from the rafters, he'll shut up."

Baldy Ma waved his hand and ordered, "Hang this kid up on the roof beam for three days and three nights, and let's see if he behaves himself then."

Several people shoved and pushed Ma Yunfei, and one of the militiamen even kicked him.

The rope was tied to the roof beam, and it looked like they were about to hoist Ma Yunfei up.

Just at this critical moment, Liu Fei finished using the restroom and walked into the village committee.

Liu Fei's appearance immediately silenced the village committee compound.

The villagers stared at this unfamiliar noblewoman as if she were a giant panda.

Liu Fei walked up to Ma Tuzi and, without saying a word, slapped him twice.

Baldy Ma covered his face and asked, "Who...who are you?"

"You don't even recognize me? You're blind as a bat!"

Baldy Ma was a smart man; he could tell from Liu Fei's outfit that she was no ordinary person.

Liu Fei raised her arm, ready to slap Ma Tuzi.

Baldy Ma took several steps back and asked timidly, "Who...who exactly are you?"

Liu Fei said aggressively, "Untie Ma Yunfei right now!"

One of the militiamen asked, "Who are you? What gives you the right to order us to untie Ma Yunfei?"

Liu Fei pointed at Baldy Ma and ordered, "Slap him twice! My hand hurts from slapping you just now."

Baldy Ma walked up to the militiaman, slapped him twice across the face, and yelled, "Who told you to tie up Ma Yunfei? Untie him right now!"

Baldy Ma thought to himself: This noble lady is so arrogant, she must have some powerful background. I can't afford to offend her, so I'd better back down gracefully.

Several militiamen quickly untied Ma Yunfei and said tremblingly, "We are following the company commander's orders, please don't blame us."

Ma Yunfei shook his hand, rubbed his arm, and said to the militiamen, "Tie up Baldy Ma!"

The militiamen looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"Are you all deaf? I'm telling you to tie up Baldy Ma and hang him from the roof beam. I'll count to three, and if you don't do it by then, don't blame me for settling scores later."

One of the militiamen, quick-witted as ever, whispered, "Let's get started, or we'll all be in trouble."

Several militiamen rushed forward, tied Ma Tuzi up tightly, and hung him from the roof beam.

Baldy pleaded, "Brother Yunfei, I...I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"

The villagers discussed amongst themselves, saying:

"Who is this woman? How is she so amazing?"

"This woman is definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise, would she dare to be so fierce?"

"Could this woman be the wife of a one-shot kill?"

"Get lost! How could someone with such a high accuracy rate afford to marry a rich lady? Just by looking at her, this woman is no country bumpkin; she might be the county magistrate's wife."
