Chapter 266 Power
The sturdy man sneered: "You profiteers, you dare to say anything to shirk responsibility!"
Several men nearby echoed: "This store is a shady one, everyone should be careful, if you get into trouble like us brothers, they won't care."
"If you don't give us an explanation today, we'll smash this store to pieces." The sturdy man shouted. "Brothers, keep smashing it."
Song Ruize grabbed the man's arm and looked at him coldly. He pressed harder and harder with his fingers until the man let out a shrill scream.
The men surrounded Song Ruize.
Song Ruize pinched his fingers, picked up the kitchen knife on the counter next to him, and waved it at the men.
Several men quickly dodged.
"Everyone, look! This is an attempt to silence someone!"
Song Ruize took out the token of the county government and said calmly: "Even if I want to kill someone, it has nothing to do with them. It is for the maintenance of public order."
The men didn't expect that there would be government officials here. They looked at each other hesitantly.
"Preserve the scene and let the prosecutor come over to take a look. Based on the traces left at the scene and the scars on the injured, we can deduce whether it was man-made or an accident." Song Ruize looked at the guy next to him, "What are you standing there for? You saw a troublemaker, why don't you report it to the police?"
Seeing that they had hit a wall, the men rushed to the door. However, Song Ruize was blocking them. Not to mention a few living people, even a fly could not escape.
Bang! Song Ruize kicked the man, and he flew out and hit the pot that was bubbling with smoke.
"ah……"
This time, in full view of everyone, the man knocked over the pot, and some of the oil and soup poured onto his body, causing him to roll on the ground in pain.
The onlookers shuddered and looked at Song Ruize with awe.
Song Ruize remained calm and looked at the men next to him: "Since we are brothers, we should share the good and the bad. Do you want to experience this feeling?"
Several men knelt down and kowtowed to Song Ruize: "Sir, we know we were wrong. We were blinded by greed. Sir, please forgive us!"
"Can……"
Several men couldn't help but be delighted.
"Each person drinks a bowl of this soup, and after drinking it, they can leave."
Song Ruize pointed to the big pot next to him.
The soup in the pot was still bubbling.
Everyone's eyes were filled with fear, and when they looked at the handsome young man in front of them, they felt that this was simply an evil spirit that had entered the world.
"Either drink this bowl of soup, or come with me to the government office and let me feel the torture instruments there." Song Ruize sneered, "Choose!"
"Brother, what should we do?"
"I drink."
Li Taohua covered Qin Huiyin's eyes.
So cruel.
My daughter, please don't watch this.
The other onlookers didn't dare to look.
Tang Yichen frowned and turned his head away.
Song Ruize found a seat and sat down, tapping lightly on the armrest of the chair next to him.
Several strong men knelt down and said to Song Ruize, "Master, if we tell who is behind this, can you spare us?"
"That depends on whether what you say is valuable."
"It must be valuable." The big man said hurriedly, "The housekeeper of the Li family, a silk shop in the county, found us and gave us 100 taels of silver, asking us to come here to blackmail the owner of Chuan Chuan Xiang. He also wanted to smash this place and destroy everything here so that Chuan Chuan Xiang can't continue to operate here."
"Where did this bastard come from?" Li Taohua cursed, "I have never heard of such a person, and now he comes to cause trouble for us, he must be sick!"
"Master, I have explained everything. Can you let us go?"
"One thousand taels." Song Ruize said calmly, "You smashed the things here, you have to pay compensation."
“We don’t have that many.”
"Either one thousand taels, or a bowl of oil soup for each person."
Several big men gathered together to discuss the matter. They took out all their silver notes and still only had nine hundred taels, and they still couldn't make up the remaining one hundred taels.
"It seems you have to leave one person to drink the oil soup." Song Ruize showed a cold smile. "Who will come?"
The men were trembling. Their leader had been scalded by the oil soup. Although the brother had done it on purpose, the temperature of the soup was not very high at that time, so it was only a slight burn. Now the remaining eight people were only slightly injured, so only one of the eight could drink the oil soup. However, no one was willing to make such a sacrifice.
If you drink such hot soup, your throat will definitely be destroyed and you will be a mute for the rest of your life.
"Master, we know we are wrong, please spare our lives..."
Several people knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Song Ruize looked at Qin Huiyin, his eyes resting on her forehead, his eyes became even colder: "If you don't drink it, I'll let you drink from the pot."
"Seventh Brother, come and drink." The weak boss picked out this unlucky guy.
"No, I still have my mother to take care of, why are you looking for me?" The most timid Old Seven said angrily, "I clearly didn't agree with doing this in the first place."
The men looked at each other.
Two of them held Lao Qi, and the other one filled a bowl of boiling soup and was about to pour it into Lao Qi's mouth.
The scene was so bloody that no one could bear to watch it.
"Stop it." Tang Yichen stopped him. "Let's hand it over to the government. This is just lynching."
"Yinyin was hurt like this, and you still sympathize with the person who hurt her?" Song Ruize sneered, "A brother like you is really useless and stupid."
"I..." Tang Yichen looked at Qin Huiyin. "But, that shouldn't be the way it is."
"That's right." Song Ruize stood up and looked coldly at the burly man in the lead. "Whoever started this should be held responsible. In that case, he should drink this bowl of soup."
The leading sturdy man was already in so much pain that he would rather die than live, and now there was a knife on his neck. If they didn't take the knife away today, they would not be able to walk out of this door.
"Sir, please leave some room for us so that we can meet again in the future." The strong man made a final struggle. "Perhaps you will need us brothers in the future. Today we owe you a favor, and we will definitely repay you in the future."
"That's true. In that case, I'll give you another choice. Cut off one of your fingers."
hiss……
Everyone gasped.
Why is it getting bloodier?
"Boss Qin is usually so kind, but I didn't expect her brother to be such a difficult person to deal with. Fortunately, I never thought of causing trouble, otherwise..."
"That's because you are ignorant. Why don't people mess up the skewers? Don't you see who the beggars and thugs around here listen to?"
"These guys are really looking for death!"
The strong man was in a dilemma. Between drinking oil soup and cutting off a finger, he chose the latter. If he chose the former, his throat would definitely be ruined. The latter, at least he could save his life.
"Ah..." The strong man chopped down with a kitchen knife.
Everyone closed their eyes collectively.
