Chapter 620 Acting Bravely
Chapter 620 Acting Bravely
The young man stood there hesitantly and didn't leave, and the shopkeeper became angry.
"I see you are not willing to accept my toast and are disturbing my business. I will beat you to death."
He stepped forward, raised his hand, and was about to hit the boy.
But the next second, everyone heard his scream.
"Ah, my hand."
Luo Junhe flashed forward, grabbed the shopkeeper's hand, twisted it with his backhand, and with a sound of bones shifting, he easily removed one of the shopkeeper's arms.
"He just wants some brown rice, but you are shouting for war and killing. What kind of ability is it to bully ordinary people?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper screamed in pain, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He stared at Luo Junhe and said with gritted teeth: "Who are you? How dare you act wildly on my territory? Do you believe that I will kill you..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard another scream, "Ah!"
When everyone looked, they saw that the shopkeeper's other arm had also been removed.
The one who removed his arm was none other than Ji Yuntang.
She curled her lips and said sarcastically: "Isn't this Liangzhoukou owned by Dongchen Country? When did it become your private territory?"
"Tell me, if I report what you just said to the court, can you still keep this pig head on your neck?"
When the middle-aged shopkeeper heard this, instead of being afraid, he spat on the ground.
"Bah, don't use this to threaten me. The imperial court is nothing. Liangzhoukou is our city lord's territory. The capital is far away. Even if someone comes from there, they have to listen to our city lord in this place."
There is a reason why the middle-aged shopkeeper said this.
Envoys from the imperial court had come to Liangzhoukou before, but they either left after staying there for a short time because they disliked the poverty here, or they were bribed by their city lords.
In short, no one who came here went back to report to the court and said anything bad about this place.
Over time, many vendors living here feel that no one can control them.
Even the imperial court was no exception, after all, this was just a place of exile.
Those who can come here are not good people.
At this time, the boy who had just been beaten stood up.
He looked timidly, first looking up at Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe, and then pleading with the middle-aged shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Cao, I don't want your brown rice anymore. Please let these two brothers and sisters go. They didn't mean to hurt you."
The young man could see that Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were standing up for him.
This was none of their business, but the two of them still stood up and helped me without hesitation.
While he was touched, he also didn't want to implicate them because of himself.
Ji Yuntang looked at the young man. His thin face was dark and all the exposed skin was covered with wounds, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
She didn't expect that the young man, who was already in a difficult situation, would actually stand up and plead for them.
She was touched and let go of Manager Cao.
After being freed, Shopkeeper Cao immediately called the thugs in the rice shop to go out and beat Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
"Whoever of you can beat these two men to death will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen thugs rushed up with ferocious looks. Holding sticks in their hands, they attacked Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe mercilessly.
The crowd buying rice nearby fled in all directions like frightened birds, and soon the thugs surrounded Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang.
Ji Yuntang protected the young man behind him and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, with us here, no one can hurt you."
These words inexplicably made the young man feel at ease.
He stretched out his hand to grab Ji Yuntang's sleeve, but when he realized his hands were dirty, he let go.
Ji Yuntang didn't mind at all. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I will protect you."
Luo Junhe was very skilled in martial arts, and these thugs had no power to resist him at all.
Ever since his health recovered, he practiced martial arts with Chen Hu in the Night Palace almost every day.
This training lasted for two hours.
In just a few days, he felt that his martial arts had almost recovered.
Seeing that they were no match for Luo Junhe, the thugs turned their attention to Ji Yuntang.
They thought to themselves, if they couldn't defeat Luo Junhe and the others, then at least Ji Yuntang, a weak woman, could defeat her on her own, right?
But unexpectedly, Ji Yuntang casually scattered a handful of sleeping pills and knocked down a group of people.
She kicked a thug to the ground, causing him to spit blood and lose several teeth.
This scene made everyone dumbfounded.
I thought the little girl was weak and fragile, but I didn't expect her to be so fierce when fighting.
Her moves are illogical, but they are just as damaging as men's.
After several rounds of fighting, the thugs saw how brutal the couple was, so they stopped fighting, dropped their sticks and ran away.
Shopkeeper Cao was almost mad with anger. He originally thought that Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe looked easy to bully, but he didn't expect that they were two tough nuts to crack.
Not only was no one beaten to death, but a lot of people who came to buy food were also scared away.
Most importantly, he himself was injured.
Luo Junhe narrowed his black eyes slightly, and when he glanced at him, Shopkeeper Cao felt his hair stand on end, and he almost knelt down in fright.
He couldn't understand how a seemingly ordinary man could have such a powerful aura?
One look from him made him feel like he was being stared at by the god of death.
Thinking of this, Manager Cao felt that saving his life was the most important thing, so he stopped shouting and calling for killing, and just said something harsh and ran away.
"You two just wait, I won't let you go."
Ji Yuntang didn't take his words to heart, mainly because they were now in someone else's territory and it was not appropriate to kill people directly.
Otherwise, she really wanted to eliminate harm for the people.
In her opinion, Manager Cao's raising of grain prices was a great disaster for Liangzhou.
And there must be many more black-hearted traders like him.
If these people are not eliminated, the people of Liangzhoukou will sooner or later starve to death because they cannot afford food.
Just when Ji Yuntang was thinking about how to help the people of Liangzhoukou, the young boy next to him spoke.
He simply knelt down in front of Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
"I'm Gu Hao, thank you for your help just now."
Ji Yuntang was startled and hurried forward to help him up, "It's just that we can't stand that bully, Xiaohao, get up quickly."
Gu Hao said: "If I didn't have my brothers and sisters, I would have died in the hands of Manager Cao a long time ago."
"My mother said that I should repay you for saving my life with my own life. Brothers and sisters, I will definitely repay you when I grow up."
