When Xie Pinghuai ran, he was as fast as a leopard.
As soon as he ran, the people behind him immediately started chasing him, attracting the attention of many people. When the disaster victims saw the things in Xie Pinghuai’s arms, they knew what was going on. Many people also showed a concerned expression.
Xie Qiao watched anxiously.
The people behind him ran too slowly. There were so many people, but none of them could catch up.
Not long after, Xie Pinghuai ran over to her side, “Eldest Sister, quickly get on the carriage and tell the servants to follow me. I’ll beat them to death!”
“Go back ten steps and let them beat you for 15 minutes,” Xie Qiao said with a ruthless expression.
“What?!” Xie Pinghuai cried out in surprise, “Eldest Sister, are you crazy?! Why should I be beaten by them?!”
“Fifteen minutes, ten taels of silver as your allowance. Also, I’ll give you back one of the grasshoppers you bought before,” Xie Qiao said firmly.
Xie Pinghuai hesitated for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
He was really too poor recently!
He did not have any money to buy snacks even if he wanted to!
Ten taels of silver, he could spend it for a long time if he saved it!
Xie Pinghuai turned around and ran back!
Naturally, he was surrounded by people. He clenched his teeth and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
“Brat, weren’t you running? Why aren’t you running now?!” The leader said while painting.
This brat was a rabbit, right? He disappeared in the blink of an eye!
The group of people was furious. The leader called out two people and said, “Teach him a good lesson!”
As he said that, he walked forward and started to attack.
He kicked Xie Pinghuai’s body.
At that moment, Xie Qiao called out to the servants, “Did you see that? The Second Young Master of the Xie family is kind-hearted. He personally came to the outside world to do a good deed, but he was beaten up by these unruly people. These people are cruel, tyrannical, and dehumanizing. The heavens will not tolerate them! One of you will inform the government, while the others take your weapon and rush forward to beat them up! Even if we beat them to death, it’s on me.”
The servants had all been taught by the new steward, and they all followed the principle of listening to the Eldest Young Lady. When they heard the order, they did not hesitate and immediately rushed forward.
They charged like a swarm of bees, it was very frightening.
Those hooligans were stunned for a moment, and then they were all shocked.
Before they could react, the servants had already started fighting them.
They had to fight back after being beaten, so they were confused and deep in the fight.
Xie Pinghuai counted secretly and thought time was almost up. He grabbed the things on the ground and quickly squeezed out of the crowd. He looked at Xie Qiao with a bruised face and said, “Eldest Sister, ten taels of silver please!”
Xie Qiao was speechless. Good-for-nothing.
Xie Qiao secretly sighed, but her eyes suddenly became misty with tears. She grabbed Xie Pinghuai’s arm and refused to let go, “My poor little brother… T-These people are too cruel. You came here with the heart of an innocent child to do a good deed, but they bullied you like this. It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault. I’m your sister, yet I failed to protect you…”
Xie Pinghuai’s mind was buzzing.
What was that?
“All of you, stop!” Within 15 minutes, the officers and soldiers nearby came.
Xie Qiao had a mournful look on her face. She looked both afraid and distressed.
The situation had been stabilized.
On Xie Qiao’s side, there were people who were injured, but not many people were beaten down. After all, the people her father had chosen were very capable.
Those hooligans were beaten quite badly. They lay on the ground in a mess, looking like they were wailing.
Not far away, there were also quite a number of disaster victims who were secretly watching.
Especially now that the officers and soldiers had arrived, some people mustered up their courage to get closer and secretly watched the show.
It was not known whether the government could claim justice for the young man.
