The boy was holding a rope in his hand, and in the other hand, he was holding a middle-aged man who was yelling at him, and the rope was being tied around his waist in various loops.
The middle-aged man struggled several times but failed to break free, and his scolding was even more unsightly, "You little bastard, your mother gave birth to such a bastard and failed to raise you well. You hurry up and let me go, or I will break your legs. A bastard from the countryside dares to be arrogant in this city. If you are careful, you will die without knowing how. Do you know who I am, you boy, let me go quickly !"
The boy crouched over and punched him in the stomach.
"Ouch..." The middle-aged man bent over and moaned in pain, his face flushed red, and e couldn't finish his sentence, "Bastard..."
Gu Yundong felt that this person deserved it, and he couldn't see the situation clearly at this time.
Someone next to him was curious and asked what was going on.
One of the onlookers knew what the inside story said in a low voice, "This Shopkeeper Pan deserves it. He is stingy and holds grudges. Sometimes ago, his shop that had to be renovated. So, he hired this kid to help with the work. These days, a lot of refugees came to look for work. As long as you provide them with a meal, they will work for you even if there is no wages. So Shopkeeper Pan decided to drive away this kid to hire the refugees. If you want to let go of a worker you need to settle thee previous wages, right?"
"Why, shopkeeper Pan wants to renege on his debt?"
"No only that, he also made excuses to say the boy did not do a good job and that he would lose money. But this kid is not easy to bully, and he insisted on forcing Shopkeeper Pan in taking out the money. But before he could do anything, Shopkeeper Pan went to the Yamen to report a case, saying that this kid is the leader of the previous riot in Qingan City, and he was arrested quickly."
"Huh? This is too immoral."
The onlookers shook their heads in amazement. Could he still be considered as a human being ? Who doesn't know how those Yamen worked ? If you were caught by them, you could be considered as good as done for. They would strip you of anything you had.
"Isn't it wicked? This kid is lucky too. The Yamen took him and released him not log after. So he came to settle accounts with Shopkeeper Pan?"
Just as those words were pronounced, the boy had finished tying Shopkeeper Pan. One end of the rope was thrown over a tree branch overhead and then pulled down sharply.
"Ahhhhhhh''Shopkeeper Pan screamed like a slaughtered pig. The man was hanging in the air and swaying from left to right.
Underneath him, there was hard stone. If the rope were to breaks and he fell, how could his old arms and legs stand it?
He finally began to beg for mercy, "Young boy, I was wrong, you put me down quickly, okay. I'm dizzy. If you want money, I'll give it to you, how about ten copper coins? If you let me down, I'll give it to you."
"Pfft..." Someone laughed out loud and looked at Shopkeeper Pan gloating at his misfortune, " Ten copper coins, so generous! But not long ago, he went to see the Yamen."
Shopkeeper Pan's face was ashen, but he couldn't see who was speaking with this posture.
The young man didn't pay any attention to his offer at all. Seeing that he had lifted the shopkeeper Pan to a height of two meters, he stopped and then wrapped the rope around the tree trunk twice to tie it tightly, and finally clapped his hands, as if he admiring his masterpiece.
The onlookers pointed at him even more, probably because Shopkeeper Pan's popularity was really bad at ordinary times, and no one stepped forward to help him get down, and no one said a word to intercede at his favor.
Shopkeeper Pan felt that he had lost all the face in his life today, just you wait and see, if I don't break the legs of this boy when I come down, then my surname is not Pan.
However, he soon discovered that he would no have such an opportunity.
