Old man Xianyu was very angry right now. He was very angry, and an angry person always had to find something to vent his anger. And the two little servants in front of him were the best targets to vent his anger. In addition, these two unlucky fellows weren't wronged. Xianyu Shun had always been bad, and it was closely related to the cooperation of these servants. If Xianyu Shun's followers were all upright people, then Xianyu Shun wouldn't be bad.
"I'll give you two a chance, speak! What happened at Spring Light House, why did you fight? "
Old man Xianyu forcefully suppressed his anger and asked.
He understood the personality of these treacherous servants very well, they wouldn't tell the truth without a fierce beating, but he still had a bit of patience. He could first watch these guys perform, then beat them up. If they didn't tell the truth, then beat them up again until they told the truth.
One of Xianyu Shun's followers spoke first, "Marshal! You have to give us justice! Tonight at Spring Light House, a group of strong people popped out of nowhere and beat us up without a word. It doesn't matter if I was beaten up, but Erlang is Marshal's son and was also beaten up by this group of strong people. They actually dared to beat up Marshal's son, they are looking down on Marshal! Wuwuwu! "
"That's right! Marshal, this group of strong people is too unreasonable, they actually didn't put Marshal in their eyes at all. They heard that we are Marshal's people, but they still beat us up! Marshal, we can't let this group of strong people go. "
Another follower said.
Old man Xianyu heard it and knew it was a series of lies. He couldn't be more clear about the personality of these treacherous servants. They didn't speak much truth, and as long as they lied, there would always be some traces that could be caught, allowing him to easily discover them.
"You want me to uphold justice for you? Men, bring two stools over and beat them up fiercely. "
Old man Xianyu was too lazy to speak nonsense. Right now, he had a stomach full of anger that wasn't comfortable, he had to properly vent it out. The two treacherous servants cooperated and lied, this provided him with a very good reason to vent his anger. At least, when he beat the servants, he didn't feel guilty, and it wouldn't affect his upright image.
"Marshal, have mercy! Marshal, have mercy!"
The two unlucky bastards cried and begged for mercy.
Xianyu Shun berated, "This is the result of not telling the truth, think carefully before you speak."
"Marshal Ji, I'll speak. I'll speak the truth."
An unlucky bastard begged for mercy.
"Stop."
Old man Xianyu ordered them to stop.
"Marshal Jie, Erlang took a fancy to a Hu Ji from the Western Regions, but this group of experts also took a fancy to Hu Ji. In order to fight over this Hu Ji, they started fighting. It's all my fault for not dissuading Erlang in time. It's my fault."
"Yes! Marshal Jie, femme fatale, femme fatale! It's all that Hu Ji's fault. She's too pretty. Everyone who sees her likes her! If it weren't for this Hu Ji, Erlang wouldn't have been injured. "
The two of them said.
The answer this time made old man Xianyu slightly satisfied. However, from the expressions of the two servants, he could still tell that they were lying.
So he asked them for more details. Sure enough, because it wasn't true, the details were full of loopholes. It was obvious that they were making it up.
The corner of Old Man Xianyu's mouth twitched. He had another reason to vent.
"Men, continue to beat them. Beat them to death."
An angry Old Man Xianyu was very scary. He was really furious. These two fellows dared to talk nonsense in front of him. They were completely fooling him. He wasn't a fool. How could he be so easily fooled?
"Ah …"
"Marshal Jie, please spare our lives. We'll confess. We'll confess everything."
The two treacherous servants were really afraid that they would be beaten to death. They quickly begged for mercy.
Old man Xianyu said, "I have ways to investigate the truth. If you dare to lie again, I'll beat you to death and feed you to the dogs."
"Yes, yes, yes. We don't dare."
The two unlucky bastards didn't dare to hide anything. They could only reveal all the details of the matter. They didn't hide anything.
"Scoundrel. This scoundrel really knows how to cause trouble for me. It seems like I have to punish him properly. Otherwise, something even bigger will happen in the future."
Old man Xianyu said. Then, he looked at the Yi Provincial Governor and said, "Should I go over to Assistant Minister Li's place right now?"
"There's no need for that, Marshal Jie. It's already so late. Assistant Minister Li is already resting. Let's go tomorrow! We'll go tomorrow afternoon. "
The Yi Provincial Governor said.
Old man Xianyu nodded. He felt that the Yi Provincial Governor's words were very reasonable. However, he couldn't sleep now anyway. He was old and the quality of his sleep wasn't very good. Now that such a thing had happened in Yi Zhou City and it was related to his son, how could he not be frustrated?
At this moment, Old Man Xianyu was thinking about how he should explain to Ang Lee tomorrow. Should he say that he didn't teach his son enough or apologize first? It seemed that no matter what he said, he couldn't get away with it. At the very least, he would lose some face. If it was someone else who did this, it would be easy for him to explain. However, the one who did it was his son. As a father, he really didn't have any face and was too ashamed to meet others. When he thought about meeting Ang Lee tomorrow, Old man Xianyu felt a little frustrated.
If the father was frustrated, the son would naturally be even more frustrated. Xianyu Shun who was injured was in pain all over his body. It hurt so much that he bared his teeth and screamed. He scolded his followers from time to time and even beat up the doctor who applied medicine for him. This scared the doctor so much that he sneaked away secretly, not daring to treat this guy.
"Why is it still so painful after applying medicine for so long? Doctor, where's the doctor?"
Xianyu Shun shouted loudly.
A follower walked in and said, "Erlang, the doctor ran away."
In fact, the follower was also very disdainful. Xianyu Shun treated the doctor like this. If he wasn't beaten, scolded, or threatened, the doctor wouldn't dare to stay for a moment longer. After applying medicine, he would naturally run away. If he stayed, he wouldn't have a good ending.
"Bastard, this group of bastards. See how I'll deal with them when I catch them."
Xianyu Shun said hatefully.
At this moment, this guy had a stomach full of anger. Since he was born, this was the first time he had suffered such a big loss and suffered such a serious injury. He was very angry and also very wronged. There was actually someone who dared to treat him like this. Compared to teaching them a good lesson, how could he vent his anger?
However, the Yi Province's Provincial Governor's humble attitude seemed to indicate that the other party didn't have an ordinary background. Even the Yi Province's Provincial Governor was so humble. In that case, the person who made him angry should be about the same as his father, an important figure in the imperial court. When he thought that the other party might be an important figure like his father, Xianyu Shun became even more frustrated.
When dealing with ordinary people, he had plenty of ways to deal with them. However, if the other party was about the same as the Provincial Governor, then his power was far from enough. Although his father had a lot of troops, they were his father's after all. These tens of thousands of troops all listened to his father's orders and wouldn't listen to him. At most, only a few low-level officers in the army would be his followers, and these people's positions were too low, so they couldn't afford to offend important figures.
If he didn't take revenge, then he wouldn't be able to vent the anger in his heart. If the other party was really a very powerful important figure, then it seemed that he wouldn't be able to take revenge. It was truly very helpless, and also very unbearable.
The reason why he could do whatever he wanted was greatly related to his father being the Provincial Governor. However, his father wouldn't spoil him very much, and would often reprimand him very severely. As long as he made a mistake and was caught by his father, then he couldn't avoid a reprimand. In serious cases, he would even use the family law to punish him. Therefore, when he encountered the matter of being beaten, he didn't need to rely on his father to help him. It was already good enough if he didn't teach him a lesson.
If the person he provoked this time was really an important figure, then not only would he have no hope of taking revenge, his own father would also know about this matter. At that time, he would definitely teach him a lesson. Therefore, he absolutely didn't dare to go home. He could only wait outside for the time being. If he needed anything, he could just send his followers back to get it.
He had already made up his mind. After his two followers brought the things over, he would temporarily leave Yizhou City with a group of followers and hide in the countryside outside the city for a few days. He would come back only after the storm had died down. At that time, his father's anger would have subsided, and everything would be fine.
However, the two followers had been gone for so long and still hadn't returned in time. He felt very dissatisfied and also very angry. They actually wasted so much time going back to get something. This was too slow, and it made him very anxious.
"Gou 'zi and the others have been gone for so long and still haven't returned."
Xianyu Shun said angrily.
"Erlang, don't worry. They are also injured. They definitely can't walk as fast as usual."
One of the followers persuaded.
"It's fine if they walk slowly, but I'm afraid that they will be discovered by my father. If that's the case, then it will be terrible."
Xianyu Shun was still a bit afraid of his own father. This time, he was the one who caused the trouble first. He was really afraid of being taught a lesson. His injuries were already serious enough. If he was beaten again, then it would be an injury on top of an injury.
"Erlang, we're back."
The two unlucky followers limped over. It seemed that their injuries were even more serious than when they left.
"What happened? Where are the things I asked you to take?"
Xianyu Shun said angrily when he saw the crying faces of the two followers.
"Erlang, it was burned by the Jie Shun. It was all burned. He didn't even take out the golden biscuits. We were even beaten half to death. We almost couldn't see Erlang again."
The unlucky follower cried and shouted.
"You two idiots. How did you let my father find out? Can't you be more careful? "
Xianyu Shun said angrily.
"Erlang, the Provincial Governor was also there. If it wasn't for the Provincial Governor pleading for mercy, we would really be beaten to death."
The other unlucky follower said.
"The Provincial Governor also went. What's the background of the other party? Did they say anything?"
Xianyu Shun asked.
"It seems to be some assistant minister. It's a pretty big official!"
Gou 'zi said.
A bailiff friend who was close to Xianyu Shun said, "It can't be Assistant Minister Li right!"
"Yes, yes, yes. It's Assistant Minister Li."
The bailiff friend slapped his thigh and sighed, "This is bad. We're in big trouble now. This is a popular person by His Majesty's side! He's much more powerful than our Jie Shun. Even if he's compared to the Imperial Concubine and the Right Prime Minister, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage! He also just arrived tonight. The Provincial Governor even said that he wanted us to patrol the streets properly and not cause any trouble. Who would have thought that it would be him. I'm afraid that I can't keep my rice bowl anymore. A beating with a plank is the lightest punishment. Aiyo, aiyo! "
This bailiff usually received a lot of benefits from Xianyu Shun. Naturally, he was willing to stand up for Xianyu Shun. Coincidentally, he wasn't on duty that day. When he heard that Xianyu Erlang was bullied, he naturally came to stand up for him. However, he didn't expect that more than a hundred people would gather all of a sudden.
Looking at so many people, this bailiff also started to feel afraid. If they caused a commotion, the commotion would definitely not be small. However, since they were already here, if they quietly went back, then they wouldn't have the face to see Xianyu Shun in the future. As for persuading Xianyu Shun, that was even more unacceptable. If this guy could listen to persuasion, then he wouldn't be Xianyu Erlang. In the end, he could only brace himself and fight. However, he didn't expect that things would get out of hand. The other party just happened to be Ang Lee. This made him quite surprised, and he also felt that he was going to be in big trouble. Even if Ang Lee didn't pursue anything, the Provincial Governor of Yi Province would definitely investigate. This Provincial Governor wouldn't touch Xianyu Shun. However, he was just an ordinary friend of Xianyu Shun's, the Provincial Governor wouldn't let him off easily.
He cried like this because he wanted Xianyu Erlang to help him. If he was really fired, with Xianyu Erlang's help, it wouldn't be much of a problem for him to find something to do. For example, going to Xianyu Family to be a servant. That was also a pretty good job.
However, at this time, Xianyu Shun was in a very bad mood. How could he have the mind to think about other people's matters? He was already thankful that he could take care of himself. He couldn't be bothered to care about the life and death of these followers and friends.
Their so-called friendship was nothing more than fair-weather friends. They were very happy eating and drinking together, fighting and bragging together. However, if they really encountered danger, then they wouldn't be able to withstand the test at all. It would definitely be the result of flying away separately in the face of disaster.
The person he provoked was actually a popular person by the Emperor's side. He was even more powerful than his own father. This made Xianyu Shun feel very uncomfortable. He regretted that he came back at the wrong time and actually met such a strong opponent. Originally, he was still full of anger and was preparing to take revenge. However, after hearing about Ang Lee's identity, his mood immediately became a little depressed. He felt that he couldn't vent his anger, or rather, he couldn't vent his anger directly. He had to find other ways to vent his anger. For example, he could find an innocent passerby on the street and ruthlessly beat him up. Or he could go to a brothel and find a beautiful young lady to ruthlessly ravage. Looking at the young lady's bitter crying appearance, his mood would be better.
"Erlang, what should we do next? Are we still going back? "
One of the footmen asked.
Xianyu Shun sighed and said, "Go back? Go back and get beaten up? The fields outside the city are pretty good. We can go there to recuperate for a while and recover from our injuries. All the people who were injured tonight can go to my family's fields. There will be good meat every day. Although the young ladies in the nearby villages aren't very beautiful, they are still pure enough. I, Xianyu Shun Chang, will not treat everyone unfairly. "
In order to avoid this matter, Xianyu Shun planned to go to the countryside fields to live for a while and bring these unlucky people with him.
