Chapter 631 Am I the kind of person who would feel sorry for Zuo Cheng?
The change was not Jiang Yubai's original intention, so there was no need to bring it up and make Jiang Yubai feel embarrassed again and again.
If someone dares to draw his sword against Sang Zhixia with evil intentions, this matter cannot be let go like this.
Otherwise, when Sangzhi goes out after summer, won’t the descendants of the Xu family have to consider other people’s opinions when they act outside?
Jiang Yubai said without thinking: "Don't worry about this."
Jiang Yubai immediately betrayed Zuo Cheng without hesitation: "That person outside wasn't even in the game to begin with. Actually, it was only thanks to my sister-in-law that I had the opportunity to kick him out in a fair and square manner."
"This man and his accomplices will be dealt with according to my sister-in-law's wishes. I will not hesitate."
The old man stroked his beard with satisfaction, picked up the chess pieces that Xu Minghui had sorted, and said with a smile, "Young Prince, are you still in the mood?"
Jiang Yubai waved his hands repeatedly as if he had been pricked by a needle: "Forget it."
"I won't use my little tricks to embarrass myself in front of you again and again. Mr. Xue, you come!"
Mr. Xue, who had always treated himself as a decoration, stepped in temporarily. Looking at the old man sitting opposite him, who was white-haired but energetic, he smiled bitterly and said, "I am a junior and I am sorry for my poor performance. Please be merciful."
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
"Let's get started."
The chess game in the courtyard was fierce, and more and more people were looking out of the Xu family's gate.
Among them, a man with a sharp tongue pointed at Zuo Cheng and the others who were kneeling like stray dogs and said, "Ugh!"
"How dare you come here?"
Those who didn't know the inside story asked curiously, and someone immediately told them what had happened in front of Wangyou Pavilion earlier.
Some people said, "Who are those people from the Sangdong family? Just the grain they gave us for free is enough to make them a living Bodhisattva who feeds countless people!"
"First, they went to someone's shop and smashed things up, causing trouble and shouting about violence. Now, probably after being scolded by the prince and the young prince, they come to block the door and act like this. Who are they doing this for?"
"If you ask me, this isn't just a pretense; it's forcing Mr. Sang to forgive."
"If they really wanted to apologize and make amends, would they have to kneel down and block the main door with empty hands? It's obvious that they want to use the gossip of the world to force the Sang family to bow their heads!"
He had originally thought that Sang Zhixia was being unforgiving, but suddenly he understood and clapped his hands, saying, "That's right."
"Whose kid caused trouble? When the adults go to apologize, they can't go empty-handed. Why did he come empty-handed?"
"What's an empty hand?"
Someone who had been watching the Xu family's child's brutal beating of General Zuo from the shadows said, "When they first arrived and weren't beaten, they were yelling that the other child was uneducated and yelling that they should get out of here."
"So arrogant?"
A voice of disbelief rang out from the crowd: "Are they here to apologize, or to break down someone's door?"
"Look at this posture of forcing the Sang family to forgive him, what do you think it means?"
As soon as these words were spoken, countless speculations arose, and the onlookers who had originally wanted to give the other party a way out immediately changed their minds.
Not only did he come to apologize empty-handed, but he also wanted to beat and scold the host's child.
Is this something humans do?
You are a general, and you do this?
Pooh!
The discussions around were getting louder and louder, and every voice turned into a knife tip in the air and stabbed straight into Zuo Cheng and others.
The person who first uttered the threatening words quietly left the crowd, but the noise here had already spread to farther places.
In less than an hour, everyone in the teahouses, restaurants and taverns was talking about this strange thing.
Someone who witnessed the chaos in front of Wangyou Pavilion bared their teeth and said, "Under the guise of an apology, they blocked the door and threatened not to leave until Mr. Sang came out. Isn't this just to stir up trouble?"
"That's right."
A waiter who had been listening to the excitement for half a day interrupted and said, "I heard that Sang Dongjia's family members have come out and said more than once that Sang Dongjia was frightened and took medicine and went to bed. They are deliberately trying to stir up trouble for those who have already gone to bed!"
"This is too much."
"How can you be so unreasonable?"
The enthusiastic people could no longer bear to hear this and were just about to curl their lips when someone with the latest news started shouting, "The fighting has begun!"
"General Zuo's men were so angry and embarrassed when their shameful thoughts were exposed that they beat up a passerby!"
“He was almost beaten to death!”
This is a big deal.
The people, who already felt that Zuo Cheng was going too far, immediately dropped what they were doing and ran towards the Xu family.
When he arrived at the place, he happened to see Zuo Cheng, who said with a sullen face, "If you dare to say any more nonsense, this general will chop off your head!"
"Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will never live!"
"Oh, the General is so majestic!"
Those who couldn't stand it anymore threw whatever they could get their hands on. Zuo Cheng's face turned green and he was about to get angry, and the rest of the people couldn't help it either.
"beat!"
"Anyway, we have more people, they can't beat us!"
Amidst the crackling sounds of smashing and smashing, there were occasional curses and roars, but they were of no use.
Once you arouse public anger, no matter how powerful a general you are, if you are outnumbered and caught in a fight with the people, you can only hold your head in your arms and take the beating.
Jiang Yubai overheard the noise through the door. He turned to look at Mr. Xue, whose face had turned pale after being beaten by the old man, and said angrily, "How about we just get out?"
Everyone outside is furious. If they get implicated and get beaten up, who will be responsible?
Mr. Xue's eyes were dull and he exclaimed in disbelief.
Xu Minghui took a deep breath, made a gesture of invitation and said, "Young Prince, in addition to the main gate with a shocking battle scene, my house actually has a side door."
"I'll take you two out."
Under Xu Minghui's escort, Jiang Yubai and Mr. Xue left the Xu family in a low-key manner, neither of them having the heart to look back at Zuo Cheng who was being beaten.
After leaving the alley where eggs, vegetable leaves and fists were flying, Jiang Yubai played with the extra small porcelain bottle in his hand and sighed, "My sister-in-law is still soft-hearted."
Too lazy to see Zuo Cheng dirty his eyes again, he gave the antidote to Xu Minghui for preparation.
But Xu Minghui...
Jiang Yubai tutted jokingly, "Xu Minghui is so mean."
He refused to give Zuo Cheng the antidote and refused to let him in.
Instead, he handed it to him and let him decide the time to hand it over to Zuo Cheng.
This move not only saved Jiang Yubai's face, but also showed that the Xu family had no intention of maintaining a stalemate.
It was Xu Minghui's usual cunningness.
As for him...
Jiang Yubai sneered, "Am I the kind of person who would feel sorry for Zuo Cheng?"
Mr. Xue: “…”
Mr. Xue said with a smile: "Although Zuo Cheng deserves his punishment, it is not a good idea to make such a scene in front of the Xu family."
"Who says he can stay there?"
Jiang Yubai said subtly, "Look at the situation just now. Zuo Cheng has been beaten three times in the past half day. Even if he wants to stubbornly refuse to leave, he will probably faint and be carried away."
Mr. Xue paused for a moment and thought that this was indeed the case. Just when he didn't know how to express himself, Jiang Yubai casually stuffed the antidote into his hand.
"Send this thing to Zuo Cheng before the deadline, and tell him that my father's face is only enough to save his life this time. How long he wants to live and how he wants to live is entirely up to him."
Mr. Xue held the small porcelain bottle in his hand for a long while, then suddenly realized what Jiang Yubai meant.
The time for the uprising is approaching, and given Jiang Yubai's contempt for Zuo Cheng, Zuo Cheng's position as General Zuo is doomed to be lost.
Whether he had to give up the throne after his death or voluntarily stepped down while he was still alive depended entirely on Zuo Cheng's self-awareness.
As for the position left vacant by Zuo Cheng, and the troops and manpower under the command of General Zuo, I'm afraid...
Mr. Xue's heart was filled with fear. He quickly chased after him and whispered, "Is the young prince ready to take action?"
"Almost."
Jiang Yubai held the back of his head with his hands, squinting at the sun, and said nonchalantly: "By the time Xu Yu comes back, the area around Lingnan will be almost clear."
"It's time."
