Chapter 49
Not only was Yinzuo fighting with others, but the Fifth and Seventh Princes were also fighting fiercely. Seeing this, the eldest prince would not stand there stupidly, and immediately rushed in, tearing one apart with one hand. The eldest prince was already a young man in his teens, and he had been practicing martial arts, so how could he survive these little brats?
The joining of the eldest prince quickly made the situation one-sided.
Yinzuo was very refreshed by this. After getting up from the ground, he spat several times. Then he realized that he had bitten someone's nose. It was dirty.
Yinzuo was happy. The boys who had fought with them were so scared that they kept crying. Their crying was very ugly, with snot and tears. The eldest prince was very disgusted. He first looked at Yinzuo and the fifth and seventh princes: "Are you injured anywhere?"
They were all beaten, and they must have hurt somewhere on their bodies. They were all good-looking rich young masters when they came out, but now their clothes were covered with mud and dirt, their hair was messy, and they looked quite embarrassed, but not seriously injured.
Since no one was injured, the eldest prince wanted to know how the fight started.
When talking about this, Yinzuo became angry again and said, "They bullied my seventh brother."
This incident happened a quarter of an hour ago. At that time, they had just spotted the big boat tied with colorful silk and were walking back while talking happily when they saw these little kids. They were just looking at them curiously at first, and Yinzuo was even thinking about talking to them.
But before he could go over to approach them, he saw one of the dark-skinned children walking with a stagger. The other children were laughing and looking at them. Yinzuo was stunned for a moment and then became very angry.
He looked at his seventh brother and saw that his happy seventh brother's face became tense and his hands were clenched.
Everyone was having a good time today, and my seventh brother was smiling all the time. But who would have thought that these bad kids would suddenly show up and make fun of my seventh brother. What right did they have to make fun of him?
"Stop laughing!"
"You are not allowed to bully my brother!" Yinzuo was so angry that he shouted, but the annoying kid, you don't let me laugh, but I will laugh. The dark-skinned boy also said, "Your brother is a little cripple, and he walks like this." He staggered twice in an annoying way.
Yinzuo: "My brother is prettier than you! He is smarter than you! He is good at reading and writing, and he can ride a horse, shoot arrows, play chess and draw! Which one can you compare with?"
These words stunned the dark-skinned boy and he remained silent.
Yinzuo: "If anyone should laugh at you, it should be my brother! Apologize to my brother!"
But these bad boys were not the kind of people who would reason with others. The dark-skinned boy stuck out his tongue and said, "He's just a cripple anyway."
Yinzuo was so angry at the unreasonable and shameless boy that his eyes turned red: "You are bad!" He finally couldn't control himself and pushed the dark-skinned boy towards him. When reason doesn't work, fists are still useful.
If Yinzuo starts fighting with others, the Seventh Prince will of course join in, and the Fifth Prince will not stand idly by either.
In fact, not only did Yinzuo feel that it was more refreshing to just beat people up after reasoning failed, but the Seventh Prince, who was suppressing his resentment and punching people until they cried and howled, suddenly seemed to have entered a new world. Especially when the eldest prince came over, these guys didn't even dare to cry loudly under the eldest prince's gaze. The feeling was even more vivid - as long as the fist was hard enough, others would not dare to say anything he didn't like to hear.
The Seventh Prince's chest heaved. He, who had suppressed his inferiority complex for many years, suddenly felt a surge of emotion. He just didn't know whether today's incident would have a good or bad impact on the Seventh Prince's future.
As soon as the eldest prince heard that these children were bullying the seventh prince, he roughly understood what was going on. In fact, the eldest prince was just asking casually about the reason for the fight. If they fought, they fought. There was nothing to gain even if they were in the wrong, let alone whether they were in the right or not.
The eldest prince just said to the three of them: "You have to practice hard when you go back." Especially the fighting method of biting people's noses. Oh, as a prince, it is not presentable to fight like this.
Yinzuo nodded.
With the support of the eldest prince, Yinzuo walked up to the children with a proud attitude and said to them, especially to the dark-skinned boy, "Apologize to my brother!"
"You're wrong! My brother is the best and most outstanding! He's much better than you! You're the one who should be laughed at!"
“Hurry up!” Yinzuo raised his little fist at them: “I’ll beat you up if you don’t apologize!”
In order to avoid being beaten, the children had to give in. They stood in front of the Seventh Prince with their heads down and stammered to apologize and admit their mistakes. Only then was the matter finally settled.
The eldest prince said to the three of them, "Okay, let's go back. Father is still waiting."
Oh, so he quickly brushed off the dirt on his body, wiped his face, and fixed his hair, and went to meet up with the emperor. But he did not succeed in meeting up with the emperor. After walking for a while, he was stopped by someone - those kids got beaten up, and they also asked adults to come and seek revenge.
A lot of people came at once, both men and women, and they all had bad intentions.
"You are the ones who beat up my child?"
"You bastards, you hit my child on the head. My child needs to study, and he will become stupid if you beat him!" The woman who ran over first spoke sharply, while the man had a fierce look in his eyes, not to mention that there were several others running over here behind him.
Yinzuo asked the eldest prince nervously: "Brother, can you beat him?"
The eldest prince was not afraid. How could they be bullied in the capital? Father arranged for people to come out when the children fought, but they would definitely come to help if there was real danger.
But it was useless for those people to come out, and Kangxi came first.
As soon as they saw Kangxi, both Yinzuo and the Fifth Prince felt relieved. Only the Seventh Prince lowered his eyes again, feeling uneasy.
Kangxi came over and asked: "What happened?"
Yinzuo saw that he had a backer, so he ran over and complained quickly: "Those kids said bad things about my seventh brother, and we fought with them. They had more people but we didn't lose. Then my eldest brother came and won, so they called the older brother in."
"Now they want to beat us up."
As Yinzuo was complaining, the woman on the other side saw Kangxi and turned her anger on him: "Are they all your children? Look at how they scratched and kicked my child. They were too cruel. You are all black-hearted!"
"Everyone, come and see. How shameless of a grown man to bully a child!" The man pointed his finger at the eldest prince, spitting all over him. His voice was very high, and he pushed his child so that everyone could see: "Look, his hair was pulled, there is a big red spot on his scalp, and there are teeth marks on his nose!"
Another woman also pulled a boy and said, "My lifeblood was kicked!"
"This is my only child. If anything happens to him, I will die." The woman started crying as she spoke, and she pulled her boy's pants down, wanting to show everyone how her only child's vitals looked like after being kicked.
"My son Zhuzi has to say, it was your child who hit someone first. This matter cannot be let go today. Head of the family, why are you still standing there? Your son was beaten! What are you doing if you don't fight back? You useless wimp!" The mother of this child is also a good singer and songwriter.
"Yes, it's not over yet. My Baoer has to go see a doctor to accompany Yinzi!"
When a few women started shouting, people started to gather around to watch the fun. Because Kangxi was the only head of the family, these women were surrounding Kangxi. Each one was more aggressive than the other, and spit was flying everywhere as they spoke.
Yinzuo, who was standing in front of Kangxi, was stunned. His eyes swam and his ears buzzed as he looked at the mouths opening and closing. He was so scared that he kept backing away and clung closely to his royal father. He felt that these women were cannibals.
And Kangxi, whom he regarded as his backer, was actually not in a good situation at this time. He captured Oboi, pacified the Three Feudatories, and recruited ministers, but he had never faced a shrew in his life!
Kangxi actually wanted to retreat!
The Crown Prince and the Third and Fourth Princes were also stunned by the shrill voices of these shrews. None of the palace concubines and noble ladies they had seen were like this, who would never allow others to interrupt them.
Meanwhile, the man who was called a wimp had already started fighting. The eldest prince sneered, "Okay, you can't accuse me of bullying the weak this time!"
Even though they were adults, they were not military commanders and could not defeat the eldest prince who had been learning martial arts from a master for several years. When the other male parents saw this, they all rushed in. However, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, who had no place to use their skills in the face of the shrew, looked around and felt that the fight over there was more important and the quarrel over here with the shrew was not a matter of urgency.
Kangxi also saw the fight going on over there, and he wanted to go, but these women surrounded him and wouldn't let him go. They pointed at him and were about to poke him!
There was a lively fight over there, with many brothers, even the youngest, the Eighth Prince, going up, and several young men fighting against several adult men without losing. Meanwhile, Kangxi and Yinzuo were being surrounded by several women and retreating further and further back.
In general, the scene was very lively and down-to-earth, full of the flavor of folk life that neither Kangxi nor the princes had ever seen before. It was really vivid.
Even Kangxi didn't feel anything new at this moment. He just realized today that he could go forward if he was asked to lead the army in person to kill the enemy, but when facing these women he just wanted to retreat.
Kangxi wanted to speak several times: "It's just a fight between children..."
"Your kid was the first to cause this..."
"It's not that serious..."
“I have children at home too…”
But these women used their high voices to suppress Kangxi's words before he could finish his words. Kangxi's face became darker and darker, as dark as the bottom of a pot. Finally, he could no longer bear it. Even in front of women, he could not maintain his demeanor: "Shut up!"
Kangxi's anger was indeed so powerful that it frightened people to silence. The women stopped talking for a moment and looked at Kangxi again. Their voices became weaker, but they still did not want to let him off. "Your child beat ours, so it is only right that we should go to the doctor. Don't you think this is reasonable?"
Originally they wanted to extort more money from the young man, as he was thin-skinned and generous, but it seemed that he was not a good person either. One of the women had a thoughtful look in her eyes.
But some women were not just crying for money, they cried as if their parents had died: "I am the only child in my family, can you afford the compensation?"
The mess made Kangxi extremely irritable.
There is nothing he can do about these bitches. Can he still use his power to oppress others? There are so many people around him. Don't embarrass yourself. But it's also embarrassing now.
Kangxi never expected that he would encounter such an incident during his Dragon Boat Festival outing.
In the end, it was the eldest prince and the crown prince who caught the men and threatened to punch them if they cried again. This finally stopped the shrews. Of course, it also took some hardship and chaos, but everyone finally quieted down.
Even so, there are still women who say: "It's broad daylight, in the open air, you can't think of doing whatever you want just because you have more people."
Who was so lawless that made Kangxi angry?
"Tell me, can we end this now?" Kangxi said, suppressing his anger. He didn't want to deal with this mess anymore.
But it was obviously not possible. Some demanded compensation, some said that their child’s brain was damaged, and some said that their child’s vitals were damaged.
Okay, let’s go to the clinic.
A group of people went to the nearest clinic, followed by a lot of onlookers. After seeing the doctor, it was obvious that Yinzuo and his friends did not damage the man's vitals or brain or anything like that.
As for the bruises on their bodies, Yinzuo and the others also had them.
Yinzuo said: "There are three of us fighting against seven of them! They didn't suffer any loss!"
"Then the big brother came and showed mercy to them. The big brother is very powerful!"
But those parents didn't care and kept throwing tantrums demanding compensation, but Kangxi refused to pay. Kangxi said, "Do you want to take us to court?" It's not that you're short of the money, but you just don't want to pay. Today you'd rather fight to the end and aren't willing to settle the matter with money. Kangxi wiped his face hard with a handkerchief, and his skin turned red.
When the thought of going to court came up, those people backed off. Who would want to go to court for no reason?
After arguing for a while, they finally dispersed.
It was already late, and after such a mess, Kangxi wanted to go back to the palace. He had been the head of the family for many years, but today he was exhausted.
Glancing at Kangxi's dark face and feeling Kangxi's low pressure, the eldest prince and the crown prince remained silent, but someone lowered his head and secretly raised his lips. Even though the crown prince, who had a very good father-son relationship, recalled the embarrassing situation of his father being besieged by women and having no power to fight back and could only retreat, although it was not right, he actually wanted to laugh.
It shouldn't be.
