Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Fight first and talk later
The noise here attracted the attention of the gambling house, and then they heard footsteps coming from the gambling house.
At this time, Yu Li pulled his sister up and turned to run.
Yu Jin was stunned for a moment and almost swallowed a mouthful of wind.
"Stop, don't run!"
Someone behind him shouted and chased after him without hesitation.
The gambling houses were like a stubborn disease and a malignant tumor in the county town. They were deeply rooted and rampant, and even the county magistrate had to respect them. No one dared to cause trouble in the gambling houses, let alone fight back.
Someone actually dared to take action today, and even the gambling house's signboard was smashed down. There is no way the gambling house will let this go, otherwise how will it survive in Shanping County in the future?
So when he saw the scene in front of the gambling house, he didn't need to ask any questions and just arrested the two men.
The gambling house sent out many thugs to chase the two sisters. They marched in the night with great force, and the noise was so loud that it attracted many people's attention.
The people along the way were awakened from their sleep and couldn't help feeling scared when they heard the noise outside. They covered themselves tightly with their quilts and didn't dare to go out to check.
The sound of the wind was whistling in her ears, and Yu Jin was holding a bun wrapped in oil paper in her arms. Then her sister grabbed her waist and lifted her up, and her whole body seemed to be hanging on her sister.
She felt this scene was very familiar.
What was even more familiar was that they arrived at an alley dimly lit by moonlight, where her sister put her down and then turned to face the group of gambling thugs who were chasing them.
Yu Jin: “…”
So her sister deliberately lured people here to fight?
Yu Jin decisively stepped back to the shadow of the wall, determined not to hold her sister back.
Then she saw her sister step forward, knock the leading gambling thug away with one punch, and snatch the stick from his hand. Then she swept the crowd with the stick, and people fell wherever it passed.
There were more than ten gambling thugs who chased after them, but unfortunately they couldn't hold out for long.
But in a short moment, many people were lying on the ground.
Yu Li took the stick and knocked them unconscious one by one. If there were still some who were not unconscious, he would hit them again with the stick.
She showed no mercy to these thugs, not caring whether they would have concussions when they woke up or something, and she never saw them show mercy when they persecuted innocent people.
Seeing that the situation here was resolved, Yu Jin ran over from the shadows and said, "Big sister, I'll help you tie them up!"
She learned this the last time she saw her sister beating someone up and tying up Ge the yamen runner.
Yu Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at his sister's excited expression and said, "If you want to tie me up, just do it."
She actually didn't want to tie up these people, but if her sister wanted to do so, she would naturally support her, and even help her tear off the thugs' clothes and twist them into a stronger cloth rope for her sister to tie up people.
"If you tie them like this, they won't break free..."
Yu Li taught his sister how to tie people up so that they could be tied up tightly and would never be able to break free, even if others wanted to.
If she encounters such a thing in the future, she will know how to kidnap someone.
Yu Jin is a smart kid with a quick learning ability, and he quickly learned how to tie the ropes well.
When she tied up the last thug tightly, she looked at the others on the ground and said, "Sister, they look like crabs."
With his hands and feet tied up, the posture looks more and more like a crab, which is really funny.
Yu Li said: "This is the tortoise shell binding."
Yu Jin blinked and said, "It clearly looks like a crab, not a turtle." It should be called crab binding.
Yu Li didn't care what to call him, and said casually: "Whatever you like."
After doing all this, Yu Li took his sister back to the clinic.
As for those thugs on the ground, just ask the bailiffs to come and deal with them tomorrow. No need to worry about it.
Yu Jin was very excited. When she first met the two yamen runners, she was very scared. Now she could accept it calmly. Not only was she not afraid, she was also very excited and even wanted to fight with her sister.
It’s a pity that she doesn’t have the strength and power of her sister, otherwise she would be able to help.
After hearing this, Yu Li said, "If you persist in practicing the basic physical skills I taught you, you will be able to fight ten people at once in the future." She didn't have too high expectations. It was already good enough that they could fight ten people at once.
"Really?" Yu Jin looked at her with burning eyes.
Yu Li nodded and touched her head, "As long as you persist."
Yu Jin decided immediately that she must persevere and fight ten people at once in the future.
Although she couldn't fight a hundred people at once like her sister - or not just a hundred people, but possibly a thousand people - she was not greedy. It would be enough if she could fight ten people at once. Then when her sister fought, she could help.
I also have two younger sisters, and I have to urge them to practice hard. Once they succeed, we’ll see who dares to bully them.
Back at the clinic, Yu Jin still had excitement in his eyes and eyebrows.
"You're back." Sun Fangniang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw them returning safely.
Yu Jin gave her the buns and cakes she had just bought so that she could fill her stomach.
The medicine disciple had already prepared the medicine and brought it over. Seeing that the two actually came back with midnight snacks, he was a little surprised and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Of course." Yu Jin felt that he was asking a nonsense question.
The medicine man could not help but look at them again, especially Yu Li, thinking that if such beautiful girls were to pass by there, there would definitely be some men with ill intentions who would attack them.
When he learned that they had really gone out, he was somewhat worried. He also thought that if they could not come back, he would have to find Doctor Xu to find a solution. Regardless of whether he could save them or not, he would do his best.
The medicine was still hot, so they had to wait until it cooled down before feeding it to Aunt Yu and Sun Zheng. Moreover, the two were still unconscious, so feeding them the medicine was a little difficult.
Sun Fangniang ate the buns absent-mindedly and had no taste for them.
At this time, Yu Li said: "Second sister, you and Fang Niang stay here, I'm going to go out for a while."
When Yu Jin heard this, she knew that her sister might be going to cause trouble, and couldn't help asking, "Sister, do you want to go...over there?" She glanced at Sun Fangniang and vaguely passed over the gambling house to avoid scaring her.
"Yes." Yu Li nodded.
Because her sister was there, she couldn't take action directly, for fear that her sister would be in danger due to her carelessness. So she decided to send her sister back first and then go to the gambling house.
It wasn't her who took the initiative to provoke, it was the gambling house that did it first.
Those men were foul-mouthed, and it was obvious that they bullied girls a lot, and some of them might have gone even further. She had to fight back, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.
Yu Jin opened her mouth, thought of something, and said hurriedly: "Big sister, you can go, but do you want to cover your face first?"
She was afraid that after her sister demolished the gambling house, if someone recognized her and asked her to pay compensation...
It’s better to cover her face first. If no one finds her, she won’t have to pay compensation.
Yu Li was confused at first, but when she heard her sister say that it would involve compensation, she suddenly became serious.
"you're right."
It's not easy to make money, so if she can avoid compensation, she won't. She can't guarantee that she won't accidentally dismantle anything when she starts working later, so she still has to be careful.
Yu Jin looked around for a cloth, but found none, so she tore off a piece of her skirt.
She said, "Big sister, use this to cover your face."
Yu Li looked at her silently, always feeling that this sister was very good at doing these things. He didn't know whether it was a method she had heard about when she was trying to get information from the outside world, or whether she just wanted to do it this way.
She did not refuse, took the cloth, covered half of her face with it, and tied a knot behind her head.
Although this looks a bit strange, it can cover half of the face.
Sun Fangniang stared at the two sisters and forgot to chew the bun in her mouth.
After Yu Li left, she asked hesitantly, "Jin Niang, where is Li Niang going?"
Yu Jin said calmly: "My sister is going to take care of something and will be back soon, don't worry."
Sun Fangniang: “…”
By the time Sun Fangniang finished eating two buns, the medicine had cooled down, so Yu Jin helped feed the medicine to Yu Dagu and Sun Zheng.
After feeding the medicine, Yu Jin thought of something and said to Sun Fangniang, "Cousin Fangniang, you stay here, I have something to go out for."
You got something wrong too?!
Sun Fangniang was a little nervous, "Where are you going? To find Li Niang?"
"No." Yu Jin comforted her, knowing that her cousin was timid. She grew up under Sun Datian's violence. Although she mustered up the courage to resist tonight, it would take a long time for her to change completely.
She said, "I'll go find a bailiff."
Sun Fangniang looked at her blankly. What yamen runner were you looking for? Did Jinniang actually know the yamen runner?
Yu Jin didn't explain any more. She went to the backyard of the clinic, found a stick, weighed it in her hand, and when she felt it was suitable, she went out.
**
There were a few thugs standing in front of the gambling house, looking around and cursing.
If you were closer, you could hear them scolding the group of people for not coming back yet, and asking if a group of people couldn't deal with two little girls.
There are many shops open at night on this street, and people in the shops would occasionally look out, curious whether the people from the gambling house could bring back the girl who kicked their signboard.
As for the men who came out to seek pleasure, they had no mood to have fun at the moment. They all sat in the lobby of the brothel, listening attentively to the noise outside.
The back door of the gambling house is a narrow and dark alley.
Yu Li did not enter the gambling house through the main door, but turned to the back door, looked at the courtyard wall, which was more than ten feet high, and then climbed over the wall and entered.
After entering the gambling house, she covered her face and went to find a stick.
This gambling house has a lot of weapons, especially sticks. There are several of them placed in the backyard. They are obviously specially made to be used as weapons for the thugs.
Yu Li weighed the stick in his hand and found it was quite strong and should not break easily.
There happened to be two drunk gamblers who came to the backyard to look for a toilet. When they met a woman with her face covered, they were still a little confused and were knocked to the ground by a stick.
The people in the gambling house are not good people, including these gamblers.
It would be fine if he lost the bet himself, but after losing, he always likes to use his wife, children or family members to pay off the gambling debts.
After knocking out the two gamblers, Yu Li did not rush to the lobby in front, but walked around the backyard.
Suddenly, she heard a strange sound coming from a room in the backyard. She listened carefully and then went towards the room.
The door was locked from the outside. Yu Li took a look at the lock, reached out to break it, and pushed the door open.
The room was dark and there was no light.
Yu Li’s eyesight is very good now. After receiving treatment with supernatural powers, he can see in the dark.
She glanced around the room and walked around the screen. When she saw a group of girls with their hands and feet bound and their mouths gagged behind the screen, she fell silent.
Some of the girls were struggling, their bodies curled up in a cricket-like shape and making humming sounds from their mouths.
Although it was late at night, they had no desire to sleep and only wanted to break free from the ropes and escape.
When they found someone coming in, they were startled, their eyes wide open, and they looked at the person coming in vigilantly. But the room was very dark, and they could only see the outline of a person, and couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, and they couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Yu Li bent over and untied the rope on a girl, saying at the same time, "Don't make a sound."
The girls were stunned for a moment and realized it was a female voice.
When Yu Li pulled the cloth from the girl's mouth, she did not make a sound, but kept her mouth tightly shut.
Until Yu Li untied the ropes on everyone, they were all very quiet and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"
Yu Li did not answer, but asked them: "Why are you here?"
After hearing this, they were all silent for a moment, and then one of them said with resentment, "I was trafficked here."
Then someone else said, "My father owed gambling debts, so he sold me to the gambling house to pay off the debt."
"Me too. My parents passed away early, and I grew up in my second uncle's house. My cousin owed money to the gambling house, so my second uncle and second aunt sold me here."
"I am from a nearby village. I encountered bandits on the road and was captured."
“…”
There were seven girls in total. Three of them were sold to the gambling house to pay off their debts because their fathers or relatives were gamblers and owed money to the gambling house. One was a girl from the provincial capital who was abducted when she went out to visit the temple fair. The remaining three were from nearby villages and were caught by some lawless gangsters on the road and sold here.
After listening to their words, Yu Li asked, "Are you going to leave?"
They looked at her in disbelief, and asked with expectation, "Can I?"
"Of course you can!" Yu Li said, "But I have something else to do. The gambling house will be in chaos soon. You guys stay here first. I'll come find you after I'm done."
The room was pitch black, and the seven girls couldn't see Yu Li's appearance clearly. When they heard her say that she was leaving, they felt a little uneasy, but they were all sensible and did not ask her what she was going to do. They said they would wait for her here.
Since she could break in and help them untie their bonds, she should be able to rescue them, right?
Anyway, the ropes that tied their hands and feet have been untied, so if things really don't work, they can run away by themselves.
Seeing that they agreed, Yu Li walked out and locked the door again.
The door was locked with an iron chain and an iron lock, but the lock was broken by Yu Li, so she twisted the iron chain and locked the door. Unless she did it herself, no one else could open it, otherwise the door would have to be dismantled.
When the gambling house becomes chaotic later, they don’t have to worry about someone breaking in and doing harm to them.
After doing all this, Yu Li took a deep breath and decided to do something big this time.
Holding the stick, she swaggered across the backyard and ran into a few gambling thugs who were patrolling the backyard.
When the thugs saw Yu Li with half of his face covered, they were stunned. This look was really suspicious, and they couldn't help but shout: "Who are you?!"
Yu Li picked up a stick and knocked the thugs who were rushing towards him away, then hit each of them with the stick, knocking them unconscious.
She controlled the strength of her attack very well, which could make people dizzy for most of the day and prevent them from waking up and causing trouble.
If we want to make a big deal, it will be easier if all the people in this gambling house get down.
The commotion here soon attracted other patrolling thugs from the gambling house, who all ran over and were knocked out one by one by her without mercy.
Because Yu Li did not hold back and deliberately made a big fuss, the gambling house soon knew that someone was causing trouble and the thugs gathered over.
It’s a pity that they are all here to deliver food.
A middle-aged man dressed as a manager came over with his men.
When he saw Yu Li, he was surprised and confused. He remembered that someone had just reported that a woman had smashed the plaque of their gambling house, and his intuition suggested that it was her.
But at this moment, she actually covered her face. Why? Was she afraid of being recognized?
"You're the one who smashed our signboard?" the steward asked angrily, shouting at the people around him, "Catch her!"
The gambling house had been in the county town for so long, but this was the first time that someone came to cause trouble. Even the plaque was knocked down. The manager was very angry and just wanted to teach the troublemakers a lesson.
I heard from the person who was beaten that the other party was a very pretty girl who could be sold for a lot of money.
Even if you don’t sell it, you can enjoy it yourself.
The manager had his own plans in mind and didn't think that so many people couldn't defeat a woman.
It is an indisputable fact that women are naturally weaker than men. No matter how good her boxing skills are, she still has no chance of winning if there are more people in the fight.
Thugs rushed over. Yu Li held a stick in her hand and poked, stabbed and swept at them. A group of people flew backwards. Then she hit them with a club and knocked them out.
But in a moment, she took care of the thugs around the manager, and she looked at the manager.
The manager was startled and turned and ran away.
At this moment, a stick poked his back. The manager felt a sharp pain spreading from his lumbar spine, as if his waist was about to break. He fell forward and fell heavily to the ground.
Before he could get up, a foot stepped on his head.
The manager has been in the gambling house for so many years and has always been respected and praised. When had he ever been humiliated like this?
However, the foot on his head showed no mercy and crushed his face hard against the hard ground. He felt that his facial features were crushed and his nose was bleeding.
By the time the foot was released, the manager's face was covered in blood from his nose, looking extremely miserable.
Yu Li knocked him out without any hesitation and continued walking forward.
She fought her way through the fight and finally arrived at the lobby in front of the gambling house.
The lobby was bustling with noise and filled with smoke. Yu Li glanced towards a private room on the second floor. The window of the room was open, and he could vaguely see a burly man sitting by the window. There were several thugs standing around him, and it was obvious that he had a special status.
Yu Li walked into the lobby holding a stick.
The people in the gambling house were shocked when they noticed her. When they reached out to stop her, she pulled the man back and swung him away. The man fell from the sky and hit a gambling table hard, smashing it to pieces. The things on the table flew everywhere, hitting many people and making them scream.
The sound also startled the people present.
The noisy sounds in the lobby gradually faded away, and everyone looked towards the sound. Those who were farther away had confused expressions on their faces, not knowing what was going on.
Yu Li had already quickly crossed the lobby. When the thugs guarding outside the gambling house noticed something was wrong and rushed in, she swept over with a stick and used the tip of the stick to close the door of the gambling house.
Seeing the closed door, the gamblers present were still stunned and did not react for a while.
Only the people in the gambling house changed their expressions drastically, picked up their weapons with a fierce look, and rushed towards Yu Li without hesitation.
Yu Li was not afraid at all. She swept the man away with her stick again. The thugs fell down before they could even get close to her. The weapons in their hands were useless.
Someone cleverly threw the big knife in his hand at her, trying to kill her on the spot.
At this time, no one cared about so many things anymore. No matter whether she could be caught alive or not, they just wanted to kill her first to avoid the casino suffering too much loss.
Yu Li turned sideways, stretched out his hand to grab the big knife in mid-air, and looked at the person who threw the knife.
The man's hair stood on end, as if she was about to chop off his head with a knife.
Yu Li didn't use the sword to chop off his head. Human life was valuable to her. She would not take someone's life easily unless it was absolutely necessary, but some injuries were inevitable.
She threw the knife at him, and the man was probably so frightened that he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and his arm flew out bloody.
"ah--"
This scene made the gamblers scream in fear, and the scene was in chaos.
Especially when the severed arm smashed onto a gambling table, blood splattered on the people around, and even the chips on the table were stained with blood, it looked very scary.
The gamblers were so scared that their legs went limp, and some even sat down with puddles of water under their feet.
After seeing this scene, they would probably never dare to step into a gambling house again in their lives.
The scene was in chaos, with screams ringing out one after another.
The people in the gambling house rushed towards Yu Li, trying to subdue her, while the gamblers felt weak in their limbs and subconsciously wanted to leave the gambling house, but the door was closed by Yu Li, and she was guarding there. The gamblers dared not face this evil star, so they lay on the ground, looking for places to hide.
The burly man in the upstairs box saw the chaotic scene in the lobby, his face turned blue with anger, and he shouted, "Kill her!"
The thugs in the room rushed out, jumped from the second floor, and pointed their weapons at Yu Li.
Upon hearing this, Yu Li looked up.
When he met her cold eyes, the burly man felt a chill down his spine.
But he didn't have time to think too much at this moment. Seeing the gambling house in such a mess, he could only go ahead with it.
There are a lot of thugs in the gambling house, but no matter how many there are, they are limited. In addition, Yu Li had already dealt with a group of them in the backyard, so there are not many left now, no more than a hundred.
She solved the problem easily, and after beating each one, she would knock them out with a stick.
If anyone dared to show weapons to her, she would point them at them without hesitation. As a result, many broken hands and legs were scattered on the ground, and the bloody scene was filled with a strong smell of blood in the lobby.
The gamblers were so frightened that many of them fainted.
By the time Yu Li had dealt with the thugs in the gambling house, no one was left standing in the lobby.
The gamblers hid in the corner, trembling, their legs too weak to stand up.
What made them nervous was that this female evil star not only beat the people in the gambling house, but also beat them, the gamblers. Whenever she passed by, she would just hit them with a stick and knock them unconscious.
After Yu Li finished talking to the people in the lobby, he looked towards the box on the second floor.
Then, she jumped up with the stick, kicked her foot towards a gambling table, and rushed upwards. In an instant, she reached the second floor, flew in through the open window of the box, and faced the burly man.
The burly man looked at her in horror, quickly pulled out the big knife beside him and swung it at her.
Yu Li dodged to the side. The white hand was very soft and flexible. He didn't see clearly how she did it, but she snatched the big knife away and slashed at the burly man.
The man shouted in horror: "Wait! Wait! I am from the Kang family in Fucheng!"
The sword that was coming towards him stopped in front of his head.
Yu Li: "The Kang family in Fucheng? I don't know them."
The burly man felt a chill in his heart. Even the Kang family didn’t know about it?
Which country bumpkin did this guy come from? No, no, country bumpkins are not that scary. They can beat up all the people in his gambling house. They are ruthless and merciless, and they won't show mercy even if they chop off arms and legs.
Fearing that the big knife in her hand would chop him, he trembled and said, "The Kang family has produced several imperial concubines in this dynasty. They are the maternal ancestors of the Third Prince. Are you sure you want to go against us? If the Third Prince knew, he would definitely not let you go..."
He knew that as long as these people knew the background of the gambling house, they would not dare to act rashly.
Even the county magistrates, no matter how tough their tempers were, eventually left Shanping County in disgrace and did not dare to touch the gambling houses.
Unfortunately, Yu Li does not have any deep understanding of the imperial power in this world. Even if she knows that the imperial power is supreme, what does it have to do with her?
Haven’t you heard the saying, The mountains are high and the emperor is far away?
Let’s wait until the third prince really comes, we don’t know when that will happen.
