Chapter 1188: Beating the Yamen Runners

At this time, Sui Dan showed a smug look on his face. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Well, everyone, you all heard it clearly! This is totally groundless and a false accusation! Hurry up and arrest them all and take them away, so that they won't get in the way here."

Seeing that Sui Dan was in an aggressive posture, the yamen runner asked Sui Dan: "We don't arrest people randomly. Right now, we haven't figured out whether you stole the things or Master Zhai slandered you. If you want to resolve this matter, you must explain the origins of those things in your carriage."

Sui Dan's voice was louder than the yamen runners'. "We borrowed it, but we didn't steal it. We are law-abiding beggars."

"Beg?" Apparently, the bailiff couldn't adapt to the change from being a citizen of Dalang State to a so-called "begging citizen" for a while.

"What? Don't you know where you are from?"

Facing Sui Dan's questioning, the yamen runner finally realized that he had almost made a mistake. He looked at Sui Dan's snake-like threatening eyes and said, "Of course I am a beggar, but since someone has reported it to the authorities, I have to find out where you got the food from."

"It was borrowed, not stolen. If you have nothing else, I advise you to leave quickly and don't affect us in doing good deeds." Sui Dan was really stubborn. No matter how many times the bailiff asked him, he said it was borrowed.

At this time, the people's voices were all in favor of Sui Dan.

The yamen runner could tell that this man was not easy to deal with, but his accent was obviously not from Chaizhou or Fengying. In short, he couldn't tell where he was from. But judging by his clothes, he should be a businessman. As a yamen runner of the eleventh city, he should enforce the law impartially, and naturally he couldn't let this person with unknown origins interfere. He made his attitude clear: "If you can't explain the origin of these grains, I will take you back to the county government for interrogation."

The yamen runner just waved his arm lightly and made a simple gesture. In an instant, many yamen runners rushed forward and pounced on Cheng Feng and the other nine people.

At this time, Sui Dan's eyes widened with anger, and he cursed: "You really don't want to drink a toast and then drink a forfeit! Do you really want to force me to take action?" Before he finished speaking, he flashed and rushed out, becoming the first person to take action. He had a mission, he had to protect Cheng Feng. At this moment, he was surrounded by enemies, but he was not afraid of danger. He dodged left and right, and cleverly dealt with the two yamen runners who attacked him. At the same time, he did not forget to turn around and shout to Cheng Feng: "Hurry up and find a safe place to hide!"

However, Cheng Feng was not the kind of person who was afraid of death. He kicked a yamen runner who was trying to arrest him in the abdomen. The yamen runner screamed and flew several meters away. Then, Cheng Feng shouted at Sui Dan, "We didn't steal our food. Are you afraid that you can't explain it clearly?"

At this time, Sui Dan still said to Cheng Feng: "It's useless to reason with these people." Then he kicked another yamen runner hard.

At this time, they were surrounded by many yamen runners, and there was no way out. The leading yamen runner had a gloomy face and said coldly: "Humph, you guys should listen carefully! If you injure a yamen runner, you will be punished more severely!"

At this time, Cheng Feng still did not doubt that there was something wrong with their food. He even righteously retorted: "You arrested the wrong person! We borrowed all this food."

"Oh? Where did you borrow it from? If you can't give a clear reason, it means that the origin of this batch of grain is unknown. Since the origin is unknown, huh, maybe this thing is the stolen items from the Zhai family in the west of the city!" The leading yamen runner asked relentlessly.

Cheng Feng didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he explained, "I borrowed this grain from the Liu family in the east of the city."

The yamen runner raised his right hand again, this time making a "collect" gesture. All the yamen runners took a step back, and then he ordered a yamen runner next to him, "Go and ask the Liu family to come over."

At this moment, there was a slight commotion among the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old woman in gorgeous clothes walking in, followed closely by a pretty girl. The old woman shouted as she walked in, "No need to invite them! I, Liu Sanpo, am already here!"

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but show a little surprise. The leader of the yamen runners didn't dare to neglect it, and hurried forward to greet Liu Sanpo respectfully and said, "Madam Liu, why are you here in person?"

Grandma Liu smiled slightly, waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, and said slowly: "I heard that Master Cheng was generously giving out porridge on the street, so I came here specially to take a look. First, I wanted to see if there was enough rice; second, if it was not enough, I, an old woman, could help Master Cheng collect some more food."

Cheng Feng, who was standing by, heard this and immediately bowed his hands, saying with gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam Liu. But everything is fine now, and I have everything I need. But there is one more thing I want to trouble you with, Madam Liu. I hope you can testify for me that you have lent me food."

Grandma Liu nodded without hesitation and said loudly, "How difficult is this? Young Master Cheng's food was borrowed from my Liu family."

At this moment, Master Zhai finally couldn't help but jump out. He pointed at Liu Sanpo with an angry face and said loudly: "Liu Sanpo! We have been doing business together for decades. We have been through ups and downs for so many years. We can be considered old friends who know each other well. But why are you turning your elbow outward now? Why did you lend food to that kid?"

Facing Master Zhai's questioning, Liu Sanpo straightened her back and responded righteously: "He is doing good deeds, why can't I lend him food? Besides, I just feel ashamed. We are people who were born and raised in these eleven cities, but we are not as kind as those who came from Fengying. So, not only will I provide food to Master Cheng this time, but I will also provide him with help in the future without hesitation!"

Hearing what Liu Sanpo said, Master Zhai stamped his feet in anger. He widened his eyes and shouted, "Well, I say you are probably old and confused! If you really want to do good deeds, you can just open a porridge shop to give alms to the poor. Why give this credit and reputation to that Cheng guy for nothing? Humph! To tell you the truth, Liu Sanpo, you really made a mistake this time! These people are not good people at all, they are robbers! Last night, they stole ten days of my grain! I have already reported it to the authorities and asked them to arrest them all. But you not only don't help me, but also meddle in it!"
