Chapter 57 Help teach the scum a lesson
"Didn't you guys leave?" Zheng Kaitai asked puzzledly.
But when he saw Jiang Yimo again, he was actually a little excited, as if he had completely forgotten who had pricked his calf with a silver needle just now.
"Thank goodness we made it back. Otherwise, we would have missed the scene of you bullying the old man just now." Jiang Yimo asked him back with a mocking look on her face.
"Of course!"
Zheng Kaitai stared at Jiang Yimo, such a stunning beauty, and couldn't take his eyes off her again.
Feng Wuhen noticed that Zheng Kaitai's eyes were always on the girl that his evil king liked. He clenched his jaw tightly and his eyes were like a sharp sword with a cold glow. He wished he could stab Zheng Kaitai in the chest a few times. Then Feng Wuhen raised a palm wind and slapped Zheng Kaitai.
Zheng Kaitai was instantly knocked several meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. If Feng Wuhen had not restrained some of his internal strength, Zheng Kaitai would have been beaten to death on the spot by Feng Wuhen.
"Take back your disgusting gaze. She is not someone you can covet."
Feng Wuhen looked at Zheng Kaitai, who was knocked to the ground and groaning in pain, and warned him coldly.
"You, ahem, you're going too far."
Zheng Kaitai looked at Feng Wuhen, the evil spirit, and felt both afraid and unwilling to accept it.
However, he really didn't dare to look at Jiang Yimo.
Jiang Yimo also spoke coldly, "You usually bully this old man like this. No wonder his business is so bad. It turns out that you don't let him sell his goods."
"You can't sell your own lanterns, so why can't you let others sell them?"
Zheng Kaitai heard the voice, his eyes turned twice, and he said in a arrogant tone: "This old man is my great uncle. Whether I let him sell the goods or not seems to be our family's business, and has nothing to do with outsiders like you."
Jiang Yimo sneered after hearing his shameless words, "Ha! You still have the nerve to say that he is your great uncle. You didn't let him sell the lanterns, but you asked him for money the fastest. He finally earned a few taels of silver tonight, and we just left, and you asked him for money. This is what you should do as a nephew."
At this time, some of the onlookers could no longer bear to watch and began to point fingers at Zheng Kaitai.
A woman in the crowd said, "I know both of these lantern vendors. We are from the same village. The younger one is Zheng Kaitai, and he lives at the head of our village. The older one is called Old Man Li in our village, and he lives at the end of the village. This Old Man Li is Zheng Kaitai's uncle."
"It is said that this old man Li has been inheriting his ancestors' lantern craftsmanship since he was a teenager, and he has added his own novel ideas. The lanterns he makes are very special.
Then another woman said, "Yes! I have bought this lantern made by Old Man Li before. It is really well made. The pattern on the outside of the lantern can also rotate. It is very interesting to look at. My children like it very much."
"But later on, we rarely saw this old man Li selling lanterns. Except for the New Year and other festivals, he would come out to sell lanterns for a short while every now and then. He was rarely seen selling lanterns at other times."
"However, there are more and more stalls selling lanterns on this street, but their lanterns are all made in the same old way. Although they look beautiful, they have no novelty and are very expensive."
Hearing this, another man in the crowd interrupted and said, "I also know this Zheng Kaitai. A few days ago, I heard that he lost a lot of money gambling in the casino. Now he still owes the owner of the Haicheng Casino twenty taels of silver, and he has never paid it back."
"The owner of the casino has been coming to his house every day these past two days to ask him to pay back the money. Now that he has seen that his great-uncle has made so much money in a short time, he has naturally set his eyes on the money in his great-uncle's hands."
"The most pitiful one is Zheng Kaitai's wife. She is pregnant and is about to give birth. Every day, Zheng Kaitai forces her to wash clothes for the wealthy families to earn money to pay off her gambling debts. When she doesn't want to go, he beats her up and leaves her with wounds all over her body..."
After hearing what the man said, everyone accused Zheng Kaitai of being a bad person.
After listening to what everyone was saying, Old Man Li walked up to Zheng Kaitai, raised his hand and slapped him.
"You bastard, Xiaoyu is such a good child, but you are willing to bully her. She is going to give birth next month, but you not only make her work to earn money, but also beat her. Are you still a human being?"
"I have long advised you not to gamble again, but you just wouldn't listen and still owe so much money. How will Xiaoyu live with the child in the future?"
"If I told you to learn how to make lanterns from me, I would naturally teach you my unique skills, but you just did it for three days and rested for two days. You opened a small stall on the street and didn't let me set up the stall often to compete with you for business. But you, I really don't want to say anything more about the things you did."
Unexpectedly, after being slapped by Old Man Li, Zheng Kaitai not only did not feel any remorse, but also hated Old Man Li very much.
It would have been fine if this cold, arrogant and powerful man had hit him just now, but this old man Li actually dared to slap him in the face, making him lose face in front of everyone.
He hated, he hated these people so much.
But he only dared to vent his anger on Old Man Li.
After Zheng Kaitai recovered, he slowly stood up from the ground and raised his leg to kick Old Man Li.
This time he still missed kicking Old Man Li, and Shadow threw a stone at random and hit his calf.
He howled loudly in pain, immediately pulled his legs back, bent down and covered his body with his hands.
"Who, who attacked me just now?"
"Me!" Shadow replied.
"You--" Zheng Kaitai really wanted to scold Shadow, but when he saw Shadow's cold face, he backed off.
These people are all evil spirits, and he dares not to provoke any of them.
"Shadow, take this beast to the beach and let him wake up!"
At this moment, even Empress Xian, who had remained silent all this time, couldn't stand it anymore. She also had a son, and if her son became like Zheng Kaitai, she would probably kill him with her own hands.
So, she wanted to help Old Man Li teach Zheng Kaitai a lesson.
After receiving the order from Empress Xian, Shadow immediately walked up to Zheng Kaitai, picked him up, stood on tiptoe, and flew into the air, leaving everyone's sight. He quickly came to the beach nearest to Flower Street and threw Zheng Kaitai into the sea.
When the people present saw Anying carrying Zheng Kaitai away, they all hurriedly chased after them to join in the fun.
Jiang Yimo and Concubine Xian were not in a hurry. Seeing the onlookers rushing away, they slowly followed the crowd and walked over leisurely.
Old man Li was a little worried that the shadow would kill Zheng Kaitai, so he put down his stall and ran over in a hurry.
