Chapter 81 Test
The whip immediately angered the entire group of traveling merchants. Seven or eight of Huo's men stood up and surrounded Su Qingqing and Jixiang.
The guy who was beaten by Jixiang earlier was stunned for a moment, then he got angry and punched Jixiang, "Sai Linmu!"
Jixiang didn't understand what he said, but he knew it was definitely not a good thing, so he picked up the whip and fought back.
Su Qingqing could see that, although this girl's kung fu wasn't that strong, her aura was quite strong, and her fierce look was... a little cute.
Seeing Jixiang lashing at the man who was rushing towards him with a whip, and the man barely failed to dodge it, Su Qingqing had almost figured out the opponent's strength. She felt a little relieved and turned her attention to observe Fu Mingchang.
Fu Mingchang looked over here with a look of deep irritation on his face. He didn't notice Su Qingqing's gaze and only yelled at the small merchant leader who was whipped, "If you want to fight, go fight somewhere else. If something is broken here, will you pay for it?"
The shop owner and his clerk were all frightened. When they heard these words, they looked at Fu Mingchang with gratitude.
The little leader had come to mediate, and he had already apologized humbly... The whip hit his face, and it hurt so much that the rage in his heart went all the way to the top of his head. He looked at Jixiang with gritted teeth, but the rage was suppressed by Fu Mingchang's roar.
Su Qingqing watched helplessly as his anger turned into frustration, and then he gritted his teeth with a ferocious look on his face and tried to calm down, and shouted at the men who had pounced on him and received another whip: "Stop it!"
Seven or eight people surrounded Jixiang and started to attack him, but they were suddenly scolded by their leader and everyone froze for a moment.
Jixiang seized the opportunity and swung the whip towards everyone's knees.
Immediately, screams were heard, and those people who had suffered a great loss because of this moment of distraction looked at Jixiang viciously.
Their leader yelled again, "Stop it, are you crazy? Are you disobedient? Who dares to move again?"
They were beaten and couldn't fight back, and were scolded by their own head. They stood there feeling wronged and indignant, with muscles twitching on their faces.
Su Qingqing slowly stood up and slapped Jixiang, "How dare you! Apologize !"
The slap was loud but actually didn't hurt. Jixiang rolled his eyes and looked unconvinced, but he pouted and said to the little leader: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you just now. I did it because he scolded me, but I accidentally missed the direction with the whip..."
Su Qingqing couldn't help laughing. Look at this way of apologizing, which was not a disadvantage.
Before Jixiang could finish, Su Qingqing grabbed her and pulled her behind her, then walked towards the little leader, "I'm sorry, I'm used to being wild."
After saying that, Su Qingqing took out a gold ingot and placed it on the table next to her. "But both sides of the conflict today are at fault..."
After a pause, Su Qingqing smiled and did not continue, but said: "Give it as their medical expenses. It is not easy for you to come here."
As she spoke, Su Qingqing observed Fu Mingchang out of the corner of her eye. Sure enough, Fu Mingchang looked at her with vigilance in his eyes.
Su Qingqing added, "It will take two or three months to get here from southern Fujian. Take a good look at this wound. It's easy for it to fester in this weather. There's a lot of miasma over there. Don't go back..."
Fu Mingchang coughed immediately.
The little leader immediately trembled his shoulders slightly, and then said to Su Qingqing: "Yes, yes, both sides are wrong in today's incident. No, no, no, it's mainly our fault. They said something unpleasant and offended the girl. They deserve to be beaten. If they don't beat them, they won't learn their lesson."
As he said that, he picked up the gold ingot and returned it to Su Qingqing, "Girl, keep it. I can't accept this. It's shameless for a grown man to bully a little girl. How can I accept it from a girl again?"
Su Qingqing glanced at the gold ingot and did nothing.
The man then said, "Besides, we are not from southern Fujian. We just passed by southern Fujian while doing business, and they learned a few words of the dialect from us."
When he said this, the man who had just cursed in his hometown dialect in anger suddenly changed his expression and looked at Fu Mingchang in horror.
Su Qingqing took it all in without making a sound, then smiled and said, "Whether you accept it or not is your business, and whether I give it or not is my business. I don't like to get involved with others. If you insist on not taking it, just give it to the store owner as compensation to him."
After saying that, Su Qingqing took Jixiang and left.
The leader turned to look at Fu Mingchang, waiting for Fu Mingchang's opinion.
Fu Mingchang looked at Su Qingqing's back and frowned slightly.
Is he overly suspicious?
Was this an accident or was it intentional?
It must have been an accident.
He suddenly decided to come to Zhending last night without telling anyone, and he only notified these people of the meeting place an hour ago.
In the past, Zhao Chunming would meet them at the inn.
He even chose the meeting place at random instead of arranging it in advance.
I’m afraid that if I make arrangements in advance, the news will leak out.
Only after the two women disappeared did Fu Mingchang turn his gaze away and look at the little leader.
The little leader shuddered suddenly and rubbed his hands in fear.
Fu Mingchang tapped the table, and the little leader seemed to have returned from hell. He breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his men with a stiff face, " What are you still standing there for? Do you want to fight with the girl? You are so stupid! Go back and sit down and wait for your meal!"
After saying that, he picked up the gold ingot and walked towards the frightened shopkeeper and the waiter, forcing a smile.
"I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
After saying that, he placed the gold ingot on the table.
The shopkeeper looked at their big and strong appearance and dared not accept them. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard the man who had just spoken for them say, "Take it. They may not be at ease if you don't accept it."
"Yes, yes, yes, please accept it." The little leader said quickly, and then walked towards Fu Mingchang, "Brother, I'm sorry to interrupt your meal. I'll treat you to dinner today."
As he spoke, he sat down opposite Fu Mingchang very naturally.
The shopkeeper and the clerk stared at each other in horror for a moment, and finally the shopkeeper put the gold ingot away and said, "Take this to Da'en Temple to donate merit."
He runs a small business and is afraid of being targeted by thieves.
He was afraid that he would not be able to spend the glittering gold ingots even if he could receive them, so he might as well spend them in front of everyone.
Spend it to live in peace.
The clerk understood what the shop owner meant and immediately said, "I'll go right away."
Fu Mingchang was a little surprised by the shop owner's behavior, but he just glanced at him for a moment longer and then looked away.
He should have made his words clear and left long ago.
Now, it has been delayed for half an hour.
Fu Mingchang sighed in his heart and said to the person opposite him: "From now on, we..."
Before he could finish his words, a chaotic sound of footsteps approached. Fu Mingchang frowned and looked over, and saw a group of county government runners rushing towards him.
