"A relative of the Prefect's wife?"
Jiang Ming frowned and asked, "What relative? What's their name?"
"He seems to be some kind of cousin or something? His surname is Dong, but I don't know his full name..."
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"
......
Jiang Ming, Chen Dazhuang, and some villagers who wanted to see the excitement rushed to the east entrance of the village.
A dozen or so servants were seen snatching a piece of leather from a woman's hand!
The flatbed truck behind them was piled high with stolen wolf pelts!
"You can't take it! Give it back to me! This is what my husband risked his life for, sob sob!"
"Fuck you! I already paid!"
A servant kicked the woman, sending her sprawling. A few scattered copper coins could be seen on the dusty road.
"Stop! Why are you hitting people?" Jiang Ming shouted.
The dozen or so servants, carrying their weapons, rolled up their sleeves and walked towards Jiang Ming.
"What do you mean? You want to be the first to stick your neck out, don't you?"
The fat thug in the lead shook his head, looked at Jiang Ming with disdain, and sneered, "Who do you think you are? Whose pants weren't tightened enough and you got exposed?"
"Watch your mouth! This is our village's Tingjiang, Lord Jiang!" Chen Dazhuang shouted sternly.
"A village head? Hahaha!"
The fat ruffian burst into laughter as if he had heard a very funny joke, his expression becoming even more disdainful.
"Oh... I remember now, your name is Jiang Ming, right? Pretty impressive! You killed a thousand wolves. But... the head of this Dukang County has more hair than I have in my crotch. So where do you rank? I'm collecting wolf pelts according to the county's contract. You dare disobey me?"
As the fat rogue spoke, he took out the official documents and contracts in his hand and waved them in front of Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming glanced at it and read that the notice roughly stated: the county government had made the decision to sell all the wolf pelts from Chenjia Village to a man named Dong Shan at a price set by Dong Shan. The notice also bore the official seal of the county government...
Damn! It's really unexpected that the county government would sign such a bastard contract.
He asked Chen Dazhuang if the official seal was genuine.
Chen Dazhuang nodded: "Reporting to you, sir, it is indeed true..."
"So? Any objections?"
"snort......"
Jiang Ming snorted coldly: "Even if we're going to do business, the price should be fair. A wolf pelt should sell for at least 10 taels of silver, and one tael is 1,000 coins. You want to buy it for 5 coins? That's forced buying and selling. Is there no law anymore?"
"The law?"
The fat, shrewish sow's eyes widened as she shouted, "This mountain belongs to Dukang County, this land belongs to Dukang County, and this wolf pelt belongs to Dukang County! How much to sell, and to whom to sell, every blade of grass and every tree in Dukang County is decided by the county! How dare you commoners make the decisions? Stop whining and babbling... and you want to sell it for 10 taels? Why don't you sell it for 100 taels?"
“Great! Then we’ll sell our Chenjia Village wolf pelts for 100 taels each!” Jiang Ming said with a wicked grin.
Jiang Ming's words made the fat rascal laugh out loud.
"You brat, I advise you not to fight a losing battle and make trouble for yourself. Do you know who this Master Dong Shan is? He's the cousin of the Prefect's wife. If you're going to be an official, be smart. You can't fight city hall!"
The fat ruffian, puffing out his big belly, continued, "It's perfect that you're here too. You're some kind of official, so you're in charge of bringing all the wolf pelts in the village. That way, I won't have to collect them from door to door."
I said…
Jiang Ming patted the fat ruffian's chubby face and said, "Can't you understand human language? I said, wolf pelts from Chenjia Village are 100 taels each. You have to buy them today, whether you like it or not!"
"Hey! You dare hit me, kid?"
Jiang Ming slapped his face with considerable force, almost like a slap, which immediately enraged the fat ruffian, who threw a punch at Jiang Ming!
Jiang Ming easily dodged, but tripped and fell flat on his face.
"Kill him!"
......
The group of hooligans, brandishing their weapons, swarmed forward and attacked Jiang Ming!
Upon seeing this, the villagers immediately rushed forward to help Jiang Ming, but they had no chance to intervene!
Or to be more precise, Jiang Ming had already finished fighting before they even made a move.
There is a fundamental difference between special forces soldiers taking action and police officers taking action!
Police officers primarily use grappling techniques to catch criminals; they don't employ certain lethal methods.
But when special forces soldiers take action, their goal is to kill the opponent quickly and accurately!
Of course, Jiang Ming didn't intend for them to die so easily; he simply and cleanly broke one of each of their ribs...
The surrounding villagers were dumbfounded!
They knew that Chief Jiang was powerful and could kill a tiger, but they didn't expect him to be this powerful!
In almost the blink of an eye, they took down all of these dozen or so people.
I doubt even generals on the battlefield possess these skills.
"Ouch...that hurts so much! You brat, you're dead meat!"
"Wait till I get back and report to my young master Dong, then I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!"
......
These hooligans, with broken ribs and incapacitated, crawled on the ground like maggots, yet still hurled insults and curses at Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming ignored them, shook off the dust from the wolf skin that the ruffian servant had stolen, and returned it to the woman who had been kicked to the ground earlier.
"Sister-in-law, here, take this..."
