Fan Jihuai would bring people to the foot of the city wall every day to patrol to prevent too many refugees from gathering and causing trouble.
Today, before he even got close to the place, he could see people gathering in one place from a distance, all with excited looks on their faces. He grabbed one person and asked what happened.
The man was eager to watch the excitement, and was stopped by everyone, so he was impatient. But when he saw the other party was wearing an official uniform, he immediately replied respectfully: "Sir, you don't know, the little tyrant of the Rong family was beaten up, right in front!"
Fan Jihuai's heart skipped a beat. Seeing more and more people gathering around him, he quickly ran and shouted to his colleagues, "Hurry up and take a look. Something seems to have happened over there!"
Colleague: Isn’t there always something going on here?
Rong Guang never thought that after being a tyrant for so many years, he would personally experience what it means to have no way to the sky and no door to the earth!
This woman was not a tyrant, and she was not easily persuaded. She dragged them around like monkeys. None of them escaped, and they were all trapped here. They couldn't even find someone to run for help!
Even if he showed off the status of the Weizhou Rong family, the other party pretended to be deaf and dumb and turned a deaf ear!
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. No one should obstruct the government's work!" Fan Jihuai took out the token and flew for a long time before dispersing the crowd.
I thought it would be a violent and bloody scene, but it turned out to be a "monkey show". Just as I was about to take a closer look, I heard a familiar voice.
"Fan Lao Er, it's me, save me!"
Fan Jihuai paused in his steps, looked up and saw the other person clearly, and cried out in disbelief: "Auntie, why is it you?"
Qiao Xin's body stiffened, and she swung her hand, throwing the thing in her hand two meters away with a bang.
Fan Jihuai hurriedly went to look around and finally saw clearly who the tortured and listless person in front of him was. "Rong Xiaosi, why is it you?"
Rong Guang was no longer his usual domineering self. His face was covered with snot and tears, and he looked as slovenly as he could be. When he saw an acquaintance, even if it was his mortal enemy whom he usually disliked, he would hold on tightly and not let go.
"Fan Lao Er, quickly arrest the female bandit who is causing trouble!"
"Hey, you were calling me ancestor just now, and now you're turning into a female bandit?"
Rongguang shrank back and buried his head in Fan Jihuai's back, refusing to speak.
How could he forget about this female devil again!
Qiao Xin greeted Fan Jihuai with a smile: "Oh, what a coincidence, Master Fan! I was just about to go to you to seek justice. I put up a notice and wanted to find a few people to help me farm.
When these guys came, they smashed my stall for no apparent reason. Not only did they demand some stall fee, they asked for ten taels of silver right away! They also asked their men to break my legs."
Fan Jihuai looked at Rongguang in disbelief. What a fool! Why would he mess with Qiao Xin when there are so many people to mess with?
Rong Guang thought to himself that he was in trouble. Fan Lao Er obviously knew this female devil, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make the decision for himself today.
Qiao Xin clapped her hands, turned her head and glanced at the dozen people lying there, waved the cloth banner, and asked, "Am I right?"
Seeing this, the gang of thugs hurriedly scrambled back behind Rong Guang, knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Yes, yes, yes, lady, please spare us. It was us who were blind and offended you. We won't dare to do it again next time!"
Qiao Xin spread her hands and said to Fan Jihuai: You heard me, I didn't lie to you, you have to make the decision for me.
Fan Jihuai: ???
Rong Guang was filled with a thousand alpacas! Who should decide for him? They were the ones who were bullied, okay? He was about to protest, but when he looked up, he met Qiao Xin's half-smiley eyes. He shrank back in fear!
Fan Jihuai looked at him like a fool. If it wasn't for the fact that the two families were old friends, he really wouldn't want to bother with him. He was usually a very arrogant person who relied on his family background to bully the weak. He should have been taught a lesson long ago!
After dispersing the crowd around, Fan Jihuai asked, "What should we do with the statue of Auntie?"
"It seems like you two know each other. For the sake of our past friendship, I won't make things difficult for you! Pay double compensation for the things that her mother broke around here!"
Fan Jihuai nodded and said, "That's what I should do!"
Qiao Xin continued, "Let him tell you who ordered him to do this and what he was told to do?"
Fan Jihuai was shocked and quickly asked what happened to Rong Guang.
Rong Guang still said stubbornly: "How can there be anyone who instigated it? It's just my own temporary thought! Don't drag others into this. Do you think your Qiao family is a great family?"
"Did I ever say my last name is Qiao? Lord Fan never addressed me by my name from the beginning to the end. You said it was a spur of the moment thing, so how did you know I was a member of the Qiao family?"
Rongguang shuddered and immediately realized that he had confessed himself!
Fan Jihuai also looked at him with a sullen face and said, "I sincerely invited you to help, but you thought I was easy to bully! Forget it, I don't care about your matter, ma'am, just send him to the government office! Don't worry about whether I warned you or not, beating up the family of a sixth-rank military officer will get you a pot of wine."
"Don't scare me. She is just an ordinary peasant woman. How could she be the family member of a fifth-rank military officer?" Rong Guang suddenly collapsed. He had clearly considered the difference between offending civilians and offending the family members of eunuchs.
Fan Jihuai sneered: "It seems that the other party is playing you like a fool and not telling you the truth! Aunt Qiao's two sons are both serving as lieutenants in our Weizhou army and are now fighting against the barbarians at the front. The second brother of the Qiao family has already won the title of Tongsheng, and he will soon be in the battle. That Xuewen is someone my old man has praised.
Who gave you the courage to go to my house as the son of a merchant? If I wasn't so close to you, I wouldn't bother with you, a fool! "
Rong Guang was frightened at this time, and said in despair, "This is impossible. He said he was just a lowly person. Beat him up! As long as we don't kill him and teach him a lesson, there won't be any problem."
Seeing that he was so stupid that he was still stubborn, Qiao Xin mocked him, "Oh, why didn't he tell you that I have martial arts skills? If I had fought back a little harder, you, Hai Meng, would have been summoned to drink tea by the King of Hell! It seems that the other party is killing two birds with one stone, making two of us who have nothing to do with each other fight to the point of both suffering losses! I'm curious about what benefits the other party gave you?"
Rong Guang finally recognized the reality and confessed everything, "I don't know who she is either. I only know that her last name is Hua and she lives in the alley behind Rongji Restaurant. We met through Hua Jiu. We have known each other for more than half a month and she is very generous.
Sometimes when I get scolded by my father, I will complain to him. He said he could help my father find a backer in the capital! My father has always looked down on me, so if I can accomplish this, my father will definitely look up to me! "
