Chapter 487 He was bullied
Mei Die was outspoken and asked, "What is that? Let me take a look and learn something new. What kind of special tonic do you need to eat in the middle of the night?" She was about to open the lid of the pot, but Li Rongsen stopped her and said, "There's nothing to see."
"Mr. Li, please try it. How is it?" The old man only focused on serving Li Rongsen and ignored An Yan.
Li Rongsen's face was filled with embarrassment. He simply picked up the two pots and walked into the house, saying, "I'll go to the inner room to eat by myself."
"Hey, why is that?" Meidie looked puzzled and said to the old man, "What good things did you make for him? Why don't you share some with us?"
The old man said with a smile: "That is Mr. Li's exclusive use. No one else can enjoy it."
An Yan also looked helpless, but didn't know what to say.
Yan Qingqiu burst into laughter and couldn't stop laughing.
An Yan looked towards him and said, "That's enough, or I'll kick you out."
"I was just laughing, it's nothing serious." Yan Qingqiu held back his laughter. In the end, he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore and just focused on eating the food in front of him.
At this time, a man came running in from outside. He was the guard at the city gate. He said, "Old man, there is a man coming through the city gate. He said it was Beifeng, but we don't think it's him."
An Yan was surprised. She looked over at the old man and heard him say to the guard, "You've seen him before, haven't you? I personally escorted him out of the city gate during the day, and I even gave him a badge. How can you say that?"
"He didn't have a badge, and his face was swollen from being beaten, so he didn't look like the real person. But he said it was Beifeng, knocking on the city gate in the middle of the night." The guard reported everything in detail.
The old man immediately said to An Yan: "I'll go over and take a look."
"If it's Beifeng, bring him here." An Yan ordered.
The old man nodded, and then strode away with the guard.
Meidie also put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and said to An Yan, "I'll go and take a look too." After that, she ran out.
Yan Qingqiu said to An Yan, "She actually cares about that boy."
Li Rongsen came out of the house and said, "Did something happen?"
An Yan glanced at Li Rongsen and asked him, "While the old man is away, are you eating something?"
"I'm not hungry." Li Rongsen said as he walked closer to An Yan.
An Yan thought about it carefully and said, "I haven't thought about it carefully today. The people on the other side of the river may not be convinced, and they will also complain about my treatment of West City. After all, no one likes to change the owner."
"What if Beifeng is incompetent and unable to solve the problem for them?" Yan Qingqiu speculated.
"It shouldn't happen. Since he asked to go there, there must be a way. I'm just afraid that group of people will think he is a bad guy." An Yan thought this was more likely.
Li Rongsen said, "You'll know in a moment."
The moonlight outside the house was still bright, stretching the shadows of several people very long.
I saw the old man and Mei Die and the others coming back, with two other people behind them supporting a man. His clothes were tattered, and his face was beaten into a pig's head with a bruised nose and swollen face.
Meidie said to Anyan, "It was Beifeng. The people over there bullied him and were not convinced of his behavior. They trapped him there during the day and beat and scolded him. He sneaked out in the dark of night."
An Yan approached Bei Feng and took his pulse. She found that he had not only external injuries but also internal injuries. Several tendons and veins were damaged. It was obvious that those people had not shown mercy. She immediately said, "Help him go into the house first. I will go over to treat him in a while."
"Is he seriously injured?" Meidie asked.
"It's a little serious, but it's okay. I can cure him." An Yan signaled her not to worry.
The old man ordered the two men to carry Beifeng back to his courtyard to rest, and said to An Yan, "City Lord, those people should be taught a lesson. They didn't hurt Beifeng, but the authority of our West City. They are a slap in the face of the City Lord."
"That's true. How can we allow them to be so arrogant?" Yan Qingqiu agreed.
The old man added, "If they don't dare to obey, we'll drive them out and let them fend for themselves. The river waters belong to us anyway, so we should be the ones making the decisions and they should obey our orders."
"We can't drive everyone out. Besides, they are familiar with the waters. Who else can we send to Ancheng?" Li Rongsen took this into consideration.
The old man thought that what he said was not wrong, but he did not like disobedient citizens.
An Yan lowered her eyes in thought and said, "It's time to find someone to take care of it. This is not a long-term solution. It will only lead to chaos, and there will be people in the city who will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
Mei Die said, "Bei Feng said he has the ability to bind people, so logically he shouldn't be bullied like this."
"It's also my fault. His body hasn't fully recovered. It's lucky that he was able to escape. If it were someone else, they would have died long ago." An Yanlue felt a little guilty towards Bei Feng.
Li Rongsen frowned and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll go over there early tomorrow morning and see what a mess it is."
"This is a good idea. I think you can intimidate them." The old man nodded.
"Judging from the current situation, Qingfeng and Mancao may not be able to convince them." Li Rongsen said this to An Yan. He originally thought that the people over there would be easy to deal with, but who knew they could be so unruly.
An Yan also agreed with this and said, "We need to rearrange it, but there's no rush right now. Let's have someone find out the situation over there first, and then we can talk about it."
Li Rongsen seemed to understand An Yan's meaning and said, "Alright, let's give them the cold shoulder for now and let them settle down on their own."
"What are you talking about? Are we just going to ignore it?" The old man was a little confused.
An Yan said to the old man, "Don't be anxious. Let them feel proud for a while first. Let them think that we in West City are not as strong as them. Then they will naturally think about settling down on their own."
"I think they want to push a reliable person out to take charge of the situation." Li Rongsen also explained to the old man.
The old man seemed to understand a little. He nodded slightly, and when An Yan stood up to get the herbs, he said, "Okay, since you are not in a hurry, I naturally don't need to be in a hurry either."
An Yan picked out some medicine, and then took the golden needles and went to Bei Feng's room.
Beifeng was still unconscious. He struggled with his last breath to reach the gate of West City, and then lost consciousness. Now Meidie was taking care of him, changing his clothes and cleaning his wounds.
An Yan was giving Bei Feng an acupuncture injection when she said to Yan Qingqiu, "Take out one of the painkiller pills you have."
"He will dream." Yan Qingqiu reminded.
"It will be painful if you don't eat it." An Yan said.
Yan Qingqiu immediately went back to his room to get the medicine. When he was about to hand it to An Yan, he handed it to Mei Die and said, "Here, you feed him."
Meidie took it and helped Beifeng up. She stuffed the medicine into his mouth and asked, "What do you mean by dreaming?"
"I just had some dreams, but I don't know what they were. It could be amnesia, or something else. Anyway, it's just a blackout." Yan Qingqiu said disapprovingly.
Meidie didn't quite understand, but she wanted to spend the night with Beifeng. She didn't know what her feelings were towards him, but she could be herself in front of him, without having to think too much, and it would make her feel relaxed. Therefore, she always liked to stay with him.
After An Yan finished acupuncture for Bei Feng, she asked him to take a pill and then said, "Okay, we can go home now. He'll be uncomfortable tonight, but luckily he won't feel any pain."
