Chapter 441: Zhao Siyu, just punching
Facing Tang Wang's scolding, Li Chengqian pretended not to hear it. His slender fingers gently stroked the rough teacup in his hand. The touch of the cup seemed to calm his thoughts.
Qin Ruzhao's reaction was completely different.
With a "whoosh", his tall and strong body stood up from his seat in an instant, and the explosive force made the tables and chairs beside him shake slightly.
In just a few steps, he stepped steadily behind Li Chengqian.
He has broad shoulders and a thick back, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
His broad chest rose and fell slightly, and he crossed his arms in front of his chest. The muscles in his thick arms were tense, and the well-developed muscle lines were faintly visible under his clothes.
He looked at the group of yamen runners at the door with disdain.
Zhang Xianhuai looked at Qin Ruzhao's appearance and couldn't help but find it a little funny. He shook his head helplessly, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, revealing a bitter smile with a hint of sarcasm.
It seems that he has to take the lead again.
He slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on the person who had scolded him. He saw a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of an eighth-rank lower official, standing at the door with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
The official uniform looked a little old, and even slightly white at the corners, but it was very neatly maintained.
This was also what Tang Wang did intentionally in order to appear frugal.
Behind him was a group of yamen runners, all of whom were tall and strong.
They had knives on their waists and looked at Li Chengqian and the other two with fierce expressions.
"Excuse me, who is shouting so loudly here?"
Zhang Xianhuai raised his eyebrows, his tone a little nonchalant.
But there was a sharpness in his eyes that could not be ignored, as if he could see through people's minds.
He raised his head slightly, looking at the person who took the lead in scolding with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
This person is Tang Wang, the county magistrate of Wu County.
Seeing Zhang Xianhuai's contemptuous attitude, the anger in his heart suddenly surged up and was instantly filled with anger.
His career as a county lieutenant over the years has made him a man who knows how to hide his emotions.
You must not lose your composure easily in public. Once you lose your composure, it will not only damage your dignity, but may also cause unexpected trouble.
So, he suppressed the anger in his heart and forced himself to control his emotions.
There was a selfless look on his face.
"Hmph, I am Tang Wang, the county lieutenant of Wu County."
Tang Wang deliberately raised his voice and shouted out his identity at the top of his lungs, trying to overpower the other person.
He raised his chin slightly, speaking with a self-righteous dignity: "I happened to pass by here today and saw a bunch of you gathered together, writing anti-government poetry. This is simply lawless and unreasonable!"
"Your Majesty is wise and considerate, and has devoted a great deal of manpower and resources to provide you with the opportunity to learn to read and write for free, so that you can have enough food, warm clothes, and live a stable life."
"You are ungrateful and are slandering His Majesty. Do you have any conscience at all?"
As he spoke, he waved his arms with an exaggerated expression and saliva splashed everywhere as he spoke.
"Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be from here. Could it be that you are some unruly people who came to Wu County specifically to slander His Majesty and disturb the peace?"
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze revealing malice, and he had already determined that Li Chengqian and the other two were the most heinous criminals.
Zhang Xianhuai was so choked up by Tang Wang's nonsense that he was speechless for a moment.
He opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but didn't know where to start.
If the person behind him was not the current emperor, he would have really resorted to knife-wielding.
In terms of official rank, it would be extremely difficult for Tang Wang to meet him, but now, this man is talking nonsense and making false accusations under the banner of protecting His Majesty.
Zhang Xianhuai secretly sighed in his heart that there are such top-notch people in this world.
As Zhang Xian was thinking about it, the funny look of Tang Wang appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The laughter was clear and loud, which seemed particularly abrupt and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
This smile was undoubtedly a great mockery of Tang Wang, telling everyone how absurd the accusation of the county lieutenant was.
When Tang Wang saw this, his hypocritical smile disappeared without a trace and his face turned gloomy.
His eyes widened as he stared at Zhang Xianhuai.
"Laugh? You still have the nerve to laugh! You've insulted His Majesty and you still dare to be so playful."
"When we get to the government office later, I'll make sure you can't even cry."
Tang Wang said righteously and sternly.
Zhang Xianhuai sighed and shook his head slowly.
He looked at Tang Wang as if he was watching a clown performing a ridiculous farce in this small inn.
"County Lieutenant Tang, okay, I'll remember you."
His gaze rested on Tang Wang, deep and calm, as if he could see through people's hearts and understand everything.
This glance, carrying an invisible pressure, made Tang Wang feel a chill rising from his spine. His back instantly became cold and he shivered involuntarily.
But he quickly came to his senses, turned around to look at the twenty yamen runners behind him, then looked again when he saw that there were only three people in front of him, and he felt relieved again.
Don Juan waved his hand and shouted at the top of his voice, "Come here! Capture these three traitors and take them to jail to await your punishment!"
"Yes!"
Twenty yamen runners responded in unison and surrounded them at once.
Zhang Xianhuai spread his hands, his face showing no fear and looking calm.
He calmly retreated to Li Chengqian's side, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Old Qin, you go first. If you can't handle it, I'll find someone else to help!"
There was a playful glint in his eyes.
In his heart, he was full of confidence in Qin Ruzhao's skills.
Qin Ruzhao shook his head, his eyes full of confidence.
He raised his chin slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and uttered two words: "No need."
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the table in front of him with such force that the table flew out at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by a gust of wind.
In an instant, there were muffled sounds, and the table accurately knocked down three yamen runners.
Before the three of them could react, they were knocked back by the table and fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain.
Their bodies were twisted on the ground, with painful expressions on their faces. The surrounding yamen runners were horrified when they saw this.
Before everyone could recover from this sudden change, Qin Ruzhao rushed towards Tang Wang like a tiger descending from the mountain.
His body was agile and nimble, and every step he took was filled with powerful momentum.
Qin Ruzhao clenched his fists, the muscles on his arms were tense and bulged high, and every punch he threw was accompanied by a whistling sound, hitting the yamen runners in front of him like raindrops.
His movements were smooth and seamless.
No skills, only strength.
Seeing this, Tang Wang was so frightened that his face turned pale as paper. His legs began to tremble uncontrollably and he couldn't stop.
He is an official appointed by the imperial court, how could he be exchanged for such a unruly commoner!
His teeth began to chatter, and he no longer had any of the dignity and composure of a county lieutenant. He became a completely frightened poor wretch.
"Someone, help! Protect me! Don't let this unruly person hurt me!"
he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Qin Ruzhao said nothing and just kept punching.
The yamen runners who had originally rushed towards Zhang Xianhuai and Li Chengqian turned around and pounced on Qin Ruzhao when they heard Tang Wang's pig-slaughtering cry for help.
But Qin Ruzhao was too strong.
They were no match for Qin Ruzhao.
Qin Ruzhao was seen moving freely among the crowd, and each of his punches accurately hit the vital points of the yamen runners, either hitting their abdomens, making them bend over in pain, or hitting their chins, making their heads tilt back.
Every kick made the yamen runners scream in pain, and some were kicked in the legs and fell directly to the ground.
Some were kicked in the chest, causing their blood to surge, leaving the yamen runners unable to fight back.
For a moment, tables and chairs flew across the inn, and the sound of broken cups and plates was heard everywhere.
The tables and chairs that were originally neatly arranged were knocked all over the place, and some were even smashed to pieces.
The floor was littered with broken dishes, and wine and food were spilled all over the floor, making a mess.
The shopkeeper and the waiter hid behind the counter, trembling with fear and their faces pale.
They hugged each other tightly, not daring to breathe, for fear of being affected by this sudden dispute.
The innkeeper was filled with grief as he watched the inn he had worked so hard to run become like this. The waiter was so frightened that tears welled up in his eyes and his body trembled.
Qin Ruzhao fought all the way and the yamen runners retreated all the way.
Zhang Xianhuai pulled out a ten-liang silver cake from his pocket and threw it towards the shopkeeper, saying loudly, "Shopkeeper, I'll compensate for the store's losses. Don't worry."
"Teacher, let's go outside and see what's going on."
Li Chengqian nodded slightly, his expression calm as water.
The two men walked out of the inn side by side. At this time, seven or eight yamen runners were lying on the ground in the street outside the inn, howling in pain.
Some of them were hugging their arms, which were broken and bent unnaturally.
Some of them covered their stomachs, rolled on the ground in pain, and kept groaning in agony.
Sweat kept rolling down their foreheads.
Zhang Xianhuai took a look and realized that many of these people probably had broken bones.
He couldn't help but be speechless.
This kid is really strong!
If it were him, he would be lucky to be able to deal with three people, but how could he be like Qin Ruzhao, who could fight twenty people alone."
