Having been hung upside down for too long, Yang Laowu was starting to feel dizzy and had a slight ringing in his ears.
He was too afraid to gamble on the threats made by that crazy woman and had been trying to calm himself down and think of a solution.
Fortunately, when this muddle-headed constable came over, he didn't ask himself first, but instead asked the onlookers, which gave him time to think.
As for what the constables asked those people and how they responded, he simply didn't have the energy to listen.
Hearing the constable ask him this question, Yang Laowu cursed inwardly. What are your eyes for? Can't you see what I look like? Is this fine material I'm wearing something that a traveling performer in the martial arts world could afford?
"No," Yang Laowu replied helplessly.
He knew that the officials in the government had long been unhappy with them, but they were powerless to do anything about it.
But now that they've seen his miserable state, they're probably secretly delighted. Yang Laowu can easily imagine a group of constables and yamen runners gathered together, talking about how he and Jiang Baicheng were beaten up, especially by a young woman who's younger than them!
This is incredibly embarrassing! I've lost face so badly this time, and I don't know how long it will take to get it back, or how long it will take for people to forget about it!
Why didn't they ask me for help? After hearing this, Officer Gao felt that this was very unusual. Was it because they were afraid of offending the person above them?
So, Officer Gao leaned down slightly, brushed aside the hair that was falling over Yang Laowu's face, and saw that the other person's face was indeed that of Yang the Rich Man's fifth son, which made him feel more at ease.
"Oh my god, aren't you the fifth young master of Master Yang's family? How come you're like this?" Constable Gao exclaimed in great surprise and exaggeration.
Yang Laowu gritted his teeth and didn't respond. Don't think that just because he was hanging upside down, he didn't see the gloating expression on Constable Gao's face.
Seeing that Yang Laowu still had no intention of asking him for help, Constable Gao became even more certain of his previous guess: he was afraid of offending the person above who was holding his ankle!
"Who dares to treat Young Master Yang like this? This is outrageous! Young Master, don't be afraid, I will go and apprehend her." Constable Gao said angrily, looking ready to go find and arrest the person immediately.
Yang Laowu got anxious as soon as he heard this, thinking to himself, "You're so eager, are you trying to get me killed?"
"Wait, I'm fine. You go about your business and don't worry about me," Yang Laowu quickly said.
"Nothing wrong? Then what's wrong with the Fifth Young Master?" Constable Gao asked, puzzled.
Given such a rare opportunity, how could Constable Gao leave so easily? Even if this kid teamed up with those others to sabotage him in the future, he wouldn't care.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'I'm just joking with my friend,' is that a problem? Get out of here, get out of here!" Yang Laowu said through gritted teeth, urging him to leave.
If he weren't afraid of offending this despicable policeman, Yang Laowu would have already yelled "Get out of here!" instead of leaving immediately.
But no, even though he had no dealings with the constables, in the short time that had just passed, Yang Laowu had already determined that this constable was a complete scoundrel.
Although Yang Laowu was a good-for-nothing, he had still attended a private school for a few years and knew that it was better to offend a gentleman than a petty person.
If we offend this guy, who knows how long he'll stand here deliberately dawdling!
The townspeople all say that he and Jiang Baicheng and their gang are wicked, but they have no idea how wicked the constables in the yamen are!
"Huh, what's that smell? It smells like urine." Officer Gao said, puzzled, and then suddenly leaned closer to smell Yang Laowu.
Damn it, he's been found out after all. Yang Laowu is now so desperate he's ready to bite his tongue and kill himself.
He lost control of his bladder as soon as he was lifted upside down. Luckily, it was winter and he was wearing thick clothes, so the urine was absorbed by his robes before it reached his collar. Otherwise, cough cough!
He secretly rejoiced that it happened in winter; in any other season, the sight of his urine flowing down his neck would have made it impossible for him to stay in Yaozhen.
Faced with Constable Gao's mutterings, Yang Laowu simply chose to play dead, closing his eyes and remaining silent.
Seeing this, Officer Gao felt extremely pleased and thought it was about time. He then loudly addressed the crowd, "Young Master Yang said that his friend was just joking with him. If there's nothing else, everyone can disperse."
After saying that, he didn't care whether people left or not, and walked away with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune.
The short constable thought to himself that Brother Gao was too cunning. He had taken this opportunity to humiliate the Yang family brat. However, he didn't have the guts. His second brother was still working as a long-term laborer at the wealthy Yang's house. What if this brat went back and complained to his family, making things difficult for his second brother, or even firing him?
My second brother has several mouths to feed.
Those watching breathed a sigh of relief when the two constables left. Some also realized that the constables had somewhat taken advantage of the situation, but it was still a good thing.
Hong Xiaoduo could see and hear everything clearly from downstairs on the second floor. She felt a little sorry for the person she was carrying. Look how much people hated him! He was universally hated!
Even the constables from the yamen (government office) came over, wanting to take advantage and join in the fun!
"Mother, why don't I take off my belt and tie him to the railing? That way you won't have to get tired," Tianxuan, who was watching with great interest, suggested.
He wanted to offer to carry it for her for a while, but after considering his own strength, he realized it wasn't feasible.
If he were to grab it, the guy would fall in the next instant, his head piercing his chest. Tianxuan knew that if he really lost his grip on the thing and it died or was crippled, his mother would have a way to handle it, but he didn't want to cause her that kind of trouble.
A death is a troublesome matter, regardless of who is at fault first. Besides, this guy only splashed tea on his mother and himself; at most, it was just improper behavior, not a capital offense.
The key point is that we're going to spend the New Year here, and Tianxuan doesn't want this guy's family to come to that courtyard dressed in mourning clothes and cause trouble!
"No need, I'm not tired at all. I'm not bragging, I could carry it all day without any problem," Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
The two people sitting at the table behind them thought to themselves, "Aren't you tired of carrying things all day? You're just bragging." But they only dared to mutter this to themselves. They didn't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of attracting Hong Xiaoduo's attention and making her think of punishing them.
Hong Xiaoduo was not bragging. She has been carrying it for so long and her arms are not sore or weak. If she were not bored, she would really like to test how long she can carry it.
Oh well, I still need to go to the market, so this kid got off easy.
Thinking this, Hong Xiaoduo grabbed the person and shook them up and down and left and right, shouting, "Do you know you were wrong?"
Yang Laowu, who had just been silenced by the constables while they were pretending to be dead, figured that calling for help again would be pointless once the constables were gone. He decided to just wait for that lunatic upstairs to speak up himself.
Hearing her voice suddenly, he immediately shouted back, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, heroine..."
