To deal with emergencies, Cheng Qingyan equipped the patrol team with bows and arrows and long knives to prevent them from encountering wild animals in the mountains during patrols.
Upon hearing that they were going to beat someone up, the patrol team members silently donned their long knives.
I must say, that imposing aura is quite intimidating.
Wherever it went, pedestrians gave way.
Those who used to talk loudly now only dare to murmur quietly behind the scenes.
Some people even hurriedly closed their doors when they saw the group of people approaching menacingly and aggressively.
When you realize there is danger, instinctively choosing to protect yourself is also a wise choice.
However, Cheng Qingyan and his group were not vicious people; they were just making a big show of things, and the scene looked a bit scary.
The people who attacked Meng Aji lived relatively close to each other.
One of them was surnamed Meng, and the other four were surnamed Chen.
Chen Sheng and Meng Aji both knew the men who had assaulted them. Led by Chen Sheng, Cheng Qingyan and his group first went to Chen Yanping's house.
Meng Dazhuang, tall and strong, took the first step and slammed his fist on the wooden door, making a loud thud.
After a while, I could hear the commotion in the yard through the door.
Chen Yanping reeked of alcohol and his steps were unsteady.
"Who is it! What are you knocking for! Is your wife in my room or what? Why are you knocking so urgently? If you break the door, are you going to pay for it?"
While muttering to himself, he slowly opened the door, completely unaware of Meng Dazhuang's increasingly urgent and forceful pounding on the door.
As soon as Chen Yanping opened the door, he saw the tall and burly Meng Dazhuang, and the fierce-looking Meng Jia standing to the side.
Afterwards, his eyes, which were somewhat unfocused, blinked hard and made out the person standing next to him.
He swallowed nervously, sobering up considerably: "Why are you knocking on my door?"
Meng Dazhuang and Meng Jia stepped aside, revealing Cheng Qingyan and Meng Aji behind them.
Cheng Qingyan pushed Meng Aji forward and asked Chen Yanping, "Did you lead the attack on this person?"
Seeing that things were going wrong, Chen Yanping, who was still a little drunk, instantly sobered up and ran away.
Meng Jia had been watching his every move, and just as he was about to run away, she had already pinned him to the ground.
Inside, Meng Xiaotian and Wang Cheng, who were drinking together, supported each other as they walked towards the door, calling out, "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? Why are you taking so long to open the door? Are you trying to run away because you can't hold your liquor?"
Meng Xiaotian laughed heartily: "Brother Wang, what are you saying? I think you're drunk. This is Brother Chen's house, where else could he have gone?"
Wang Cheng smacked his lips, his eyes glazed with drunkenness: "Hey, you're right, this is his house, if anyone's leaving, it's us!"
Chen Yanping was pinned to the ground, his face covered in dust. He shouted to the two men staggering in the courtyard, "Brother Wang, Brother Meng, save me!"
Wang Cheng looked towards the voice and asked with a smile, "Brother Chen, have you had too much to drink? Did you fall?"
Meng Xiaotian shook his head and said to Chen Yanping, "Brother Chen, if you want to sleep, go back to your room."
"Also, is that person at the door your friend? Brother Chen, you certainly have a wide circle of friends."
Chen Yanping glared angrily at the two idiots on the ground. He had been pinned to the ground for half a day. Had they drunk themselves silly?
Which eye saw him sleeping?
Enraged, he didn't care if mud got into his mouth and yelled at Wang Cheng and Meng Xiaotian, "You two idiots! Meng Aji has brought people to take revenge! Come and save me now!"
Mentioning Meng Aji's name seemed to rouse Meng Xiaotian and Wang Cheng somewhat.
But I did drink a bit too much, and my brain is reacting a little slowly.
After carefully observing the people at the door, Meng Xiaotian was the first to sober up.
He let go of Wang Cheng's hand and went to climb over the courtyard wall.
Chen Yanping's courtyard was also dilapidated due to years of neglect.
Meng Xiaotian spotted a gap in the courtyard wall, and with a burst of strength, climbed over it. Wang Cheng, left behind, lost his footing and nearly fell.
Meng Dazhuang and his men had already chased after Meng Xiaotian when he rushed out. For a well-trained patrol team, catching a drunk person was a piece of cake.
In less than two minutes, Meng Dazhuang escorted Meng Xiaotian back to Chen Yanping's house.
This commotion alarmed many people, and some even went to invite the village chief over.
When Meng Qiuliang arrived, Chen Yanping, Meng Xiaotian, and Wang Cheng were already tied up.
"Cheng San, what are you doing? Why are you tying him up?"
Cheng Qingyan had someone bring a stool for Meng Qiuliang and helped him sit down: "Village Chief, please sit down first, I will explain everything to you in detail."
Pulling Meng Aji in front of the village chief, the injuries on Meng Aji's face and arms were exposed: "Village chief, look, these were beaten by Chen Yanping and a few others."
"Dear neighbors, I didn't want things to escalate to this point."
"But someone just had to cause trouble for no reason and beat my colleague up like this. He's injured and can't go to work. What will happen to the work he'll miss?"
"Chen Sheng, take Aji and let everyone here take a look, see if this wound is real or not."
Chen Sheng rolled up Meng Aji's other sleeve, revealing the purplish-blue bruises on his arm.
Even when encountering men, Chen Sheng would lift up Meng Aji's clothes.
While complaining about Chen Yanping and his group's inhuman behavior, he also brought up Meng Aji's bedridden mother.
Those who initially criticized Cheng Qingyan for bullying others are now criticizing Chen Yanping and Meng Xiaotian.
Chen Yanping and Meng Xiaotian sobered up a bit faster, partly thanks to the bucket of cold water they were given.
Meng Xiaotian's mother squeezed through the crowd.
Upon seeing his mother, Meng Xiaotian tried to crawl over, but Meng Jia stopped him.
Meng Zhangshi, who is also Meng Xiaotian's mother, shouted at the top of her lungs!
He sat on the ground, throwing a tantrum while wailing, "There's no law anymore! Murder has happened!"
"Cheng San is bullying people because of his power, and the village chief doesn't do anything about it. Does he even want people to live?"
Meng Jia, who was standing nearby, was hurt by his noise: "Auntie, please stop crying. It was your son who hit someone. We didn't hit him. How could it be murder?"
Meng Zhangshi spat at Meng Jia. Meng Jia frowned. This person was really unreasonable. Why did she spit at him?
At this moment, Meng An came over from the side and pulled Meng Jia back a little.
Meng Qiuliang was furious: "Aren't you ashamed? Don't you know how to write the word 'shameful'?"
"The neighboring villages envy our Mengjia Village for having factories where we can work. What about you?"
"You're always up to no good, either stealing chickens or fighting. Do you even want to stay in Mengjia Village anymore? If you don't, get out of here!"
Meng Xiaotian was so frightened that he cried and begged the village chief for mercy.
