Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 42 Two Lessons

When Lu Xuanxin heard this, he smiled gently: "In that case, I would like to play a piece of music specifically for Master Lin. Please savor it carefully."

"Miss Lu, do you still want to try these pastries?" Lin Xiaofeng pointed to the dazzling array of pastries on the table.

"No need, Mr. Lin, please use it yourself." Lu Xuanxin responded generously and appropriately.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng quickly put all the pastries into the sack, then turned around and left, walking straight down the stairs. I thought to myself: I don’t have time to listen to you playing the piano here!

Completely unaware, Lu Xuanxin was still in the boudoir, whispering to himself: "Then, I will perform a solo for Master Lin again, hoping to get your comments."

However, the only response she received was silence.

Lu Xuanxin frowned slightly, but after a moment he returned to his calm and elegant posture, with a charming and sincere smile blooming on his cheeks: "Even if you have no intention of listening to the music, just by reading this poem today, you have become an impeccable leader in my heart." .”

Her voice became more and more charming: "I am willing to help you sleep in peace, but I must inform you that Xuanxin still retains her chaste body. Please show mercy and love to me."

After saying that, she slowly lifted the veil and turned towards the door, her expectant eyes piercing the air.

But there, Lin Xiaofeng had long disappeared, leaving only a quiet room.

"・・・"

"・・・"

"Oops! Where are the people?"

·································

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng and the others were full of joy, holding heavy and substantial sacks in their hands. They were like farmers triumphing from the golden rice fields, getting off the boat with brisk steps and walking slowly along the winding river bank plank road.

Although night has quietly enveloped the earth, the lights overflowing from the shops along the street still pierce the darkness tenaciously, like stars falling into the world, outlining the sparse silhouettes and agile postures of pedestrians in the colorful light and shadow.

The character of Li Dexian looked like he had just drank a glass of hot liquor. The red tide of excitement on his cheeks had not subsided yet. He suddenly twisted his neck and shouted to Lin Xiaofeng with an uncontrollable excitement: "Old Lin, what are you doing? Let me tell you, when can we have such a hearty thing again?"

When Lin Xiaofeng answered, there was a bitter smile on his lips, as if he was savoring the ups and downs of life, "Come again? Isn't this time enough for your kid to drink a pot?"

Li Dexian's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were burning with the pride and ambition of a young man who entered the world for the first time: "It's not enough! There has never been a day in my life that has been more enjoyable than today. Now I feel that even if I break into the lion Facing ferocious beasts in Huyuan is just so exciting!"

Lin Xiaofeng's face was as calm as water, as if he had understood the fickleness of everything in the world, "Don't be too happy yet, the trouble we have caused this time will not be easy to clean up."

Li Dexian pondered for a moment, and then retorted with a confident look after careful consideration: "Is there any mountain that cannot be climbed? Haven't we already settled everything firmly?"

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, a deep and complicated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The smile was intertwined with indescribable helplessness and sharp sarcasm.

He raised his eyebrows gently, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through the absurdity and falsehood of the world, and he said leisurely: "What does 'settling' mean? You see today, the onlookers are crowded one after another, and the crowds are crowded. As long as the sun rises tomorrow, this matter will definitely happen It burned through the entire capital in an instant like a wildfire. Just imagine how eye-catching and gripping the title "Lin Xiaofeng taught the son of an important court official" would be!"

When Li Dexian heard this, he froze in place like a sculpture, the expression on his face solidified into one of horror, and the doubts in his pupils were like stones thrown on the lake, causing ripples. "You... how dare you just teach him a lesson and deliberately make him lose face in front of everyone?" he asked in disbelief.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled calmly, crossed his arms across his chest, and said with a firmness and determination in his tone, "Hey, I can't do it without taking action! This kid has repeatedly provoked me in front of me. If I don't teach him a profound lesson, what else can I do in the capital?" To gain a foothold? As the saying goes, 'If you fail to defeat the tiger, you will be injured by the tiger', so I have to solve it once and for all."

"I have made him suffer a lot this time. I think he should restrain himself a lot in a short period of time. Even if he returns home, he will not dare to publicize such embarrassing things." Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were deep, as if he had seen through the future direction, "Even if the whole capital Everyone has witnessed the scene where I taught him a lesson, and as long as he doesn’t admit it, then just pretend that nothing happened!”

After hearing this, Li Dexian felt admiration in his heart, and couldn't help but praise: "Old Lin, your move is really clever and full of tricks!" Lin Xiaofeng shook his head, and responded slowly with a thoughtful look: "The means are not important. The key lies in the attitude towards it.”

He said a powerful sentence word for word: "There are people in the world who bully me, insult me, despise me, hate me, and lie to me. How should I respond? The only way is to retaliate with tooth for tooth, with fist against fist, with tongue against tongue. Sword to sword, you can even dig a hole and bury them alive, and then wait for a few years, and you will find that they are just a pile of withered bones under the loess."

Hearing this, Li Dexian felt chills go down his spine and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but his admiration for Lin Xiaofeng deepened. He sighed secretly, this is the real grudge and revenge, and this is what a good man should do!

"Old Lin, what you said is so cruel, why have I never heard of it before?" Li Dexian was amazed.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, appearing calm and unhurried, "This is the wisdom in Buddhism. You will naturally understand it if you read more books."

Li Dexian suddenly realized it and nodded repeatedly, "That's it, that's it!"

As the words flowed in the air, the three of them walked leisurely into the bustling streets.

Lin Xiaofeng raised his elbows in a leisurely manner, with cunning and playful eyes. His eyes were fixed on the street corner, and there was a hint of teasing in his voice, "Look, did you see that beggar huddled in the dark corner? Let’s give this care to him.”

When Li Dexian heard the sound, his eyes were filled with the flames of innocence and impulsiveness. He walked as fast as flying, just like a hunting rabbit rushing towards the target. The sack tightly grasped in his hand swayed in the wind, like a battle flag declaring mercy. .

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the beggar. He opened the mouth of the sack without hesitation. In an instant, the carefully prepared cakes and delicacies poured out like a clear spring in the mountains. In an instant, he filled the old porcelain bowl in front of the beggar and piled it up into a beautiful pile. Unexpected food mounds.

The beggar had a sad face, but when he saw someone generously giving money, a smile of surprise broke out on his weather-beaten face. However, before the smile could fully stretch, he was frozen in shock by the "mountain of food" in front of him, and his expression fell into dullness for a moment.

"Thank you very much for your great kindness, Master!" The beggar was stunned for a moment, then finally came to his senses and thanked him loudly with tears streaming down his face.

When Li Dexian heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and his heart was filled with endless satisfaction and joy. He actually dumped all the remaining food in the sack.

However, this move caused the beggar's expression to change suddenly, from surprise to embarrassment and helplessness. He could only lower his head silently and look at the mountain of food in front of him.

Xie Hongxin watched from the sidelines, with a deep smile on his lips, and whispered into Lin Xiaofeng's ear: "Master, do you think this old man is willing to stay in our house as a helper in the future?"

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he immediately shook his head vigorously, a wry smile appeared on his brows, and thought in his heart: "I already have an honest and silly boy and a silly maid in my house. I am already worried. Adding another person will make it even worse." I can’t bear it anymore.”

At this time, Li Dexian had completed his "good deed". He stood proudly with his chest on his hips and his sharp eyes fixed on the beggar, as if expecting the other person to be grateful for his generous act. The beggar remained silent and met Li Dexian's eyes, forming a silent confrontation.

When Lin Xiaofeng saw this scene, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He walked forward quickly, grabbed Li Dexian's arm, and said reproachfully: "What are you doing? This big bag of food was suddenly dumped in front of him. It's like feeding pigs, aren't you afraid of scaring people?"

Later, Lin Xiaofeng taught earnestly: "These foods should be given in batches. After all, there are many beggars in this city waiting for our help. We cannot give them all to one person at once."

After listening to this, Li Dexian nodded slightly as if he had some understanding, and let out a regretful "Oh."

So, under the guidance of Lin Xiaofeng, Li Dexian began to gradually adjust his behavior pattern. He walked at the front of the team, walked to each beggar one by one, and solemnly handed out the food one by one.

Whenever he received a sincere thank you, he would be ecstatic, his eyes shining brightly, as if he had found the true value of life.

Lin Xiaofeng and Xie Hongxin followed him in tacit understanding, silently watching his every move, feeling bursts of relief in their hearts.

Time slipped by quietly while walking, and soon, almost all the leftovers in the two sacks they brought were given to others. At this moment, Li Dexian had shed his initial passion, and his hands were stained with oil. He wiped them on his clothes casually, and then walked towards Lin Xiaofeng, with a smile that was both fulfilling and tired.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at him and asked with concern: "Have you finished giving them out? How do you feel?"

Li Dexian smiled and answered in the simplest two words: "Happy."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction and said sincerely: "That's right. Helping others is the fundamental way to gain happiness. You performed very well today, young man!"

In Li Dexian's eyes, a look of hesitation flashed, as if a thick fog was lingering in his heart. He frowned slightly and slowly expressed his doubts: "Why do some people choose to beg along the street when they have all four limbs? They have strong hands and strong steps. , is it that you can’t even provide yourself with a full meal?”

The words reveal incomprehension and confusion, as if they are a kind of questioning about the various situations in the world.

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, his heart felt as if the spring breeze was blowing, and he felt comfortable.

The prince in front of him not only had a pure character, but also had a sharp mind, which made him deeply gratified.

He pondered for a moment and responded with sincerity: "Soundness of the limbs alone is not enough to support life. The key lies in the hope in the heart. Only with hope can a person's power surge like spring water and have an endless stream."

Taking his own experience as an example, he eloquently said: "In the past, when I was in my hometown, I would be lazy every day until the sun was high in the sky before getting up. However, since I stepped into the capital, when I thought about meeting the emperor and the prince, my expectations disappeared. Be an endless source of motivation. When you wake up every day, you will be filled with hope for life, so you can always perform your duties on time and be diligent and diligent."

He further explained: "Suppose, Your Majesty, you listen to Taifu Li's lectures every day, but the classwork is boring and boring, and you are often beaten. Such days will undoubtedly be miserable and almost make people feel that life is worse than death. At that time, you may pretend to be sick to escape , or complaining directly to the emperor about Taifu Li's behavior will bring short-term relief, and over time, the expectations for tomorrow will naturally disappear."

He then brought the topic to the beggars on the street: "It is not easy for these homeless people to find a job. Even if they find a job, their income may not be guaranteed, and even if they have a meager income, it may not be enough. In contrast, they think It is more practical to lie down on the roadside and beg, at least you can get what you need to survive.”

He further gave examples to deepen his understanding: "For example, if you are an author and your works are criticized every day for being short and weak, will you feel that the future is bleak and hopeless? On the contrary, if these people turn to pursue your works, Even generous New Year gifts are given every year, so if you savor them carefully, how do you feel about them?"

After listening to this, Li Dexian's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and he said loudly: "I understand!" There was a surprise of enlightenment in his words.

Lin Xiaofeng joked in his heart: As long as you understand, then hurry up and find the emperor to play a copy of Taifu Li.

With a calm expression on his face, he continued to analyze deeply: "However, what you see is only part of the surface. Those beggars who seem to have sound limbs may not be healthy, and those who look disabled and pitiful may not be as miserable as you imagine. .”

"If you judge others based on their appearance alone, you will often fall into the fog of illusion. Some people may appear to be in good health, but in fact they may have been seriously ill; some people may be disabled, but they may just be pretending to gain sympathy. In the world, Things are often difficult to discern at a glance.”

When Li Dexian heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded and questioned and retorted: "How could this happen? I can see those who are missing limbs or are blind at a glance!"

Facing Li Dexian's question, Lin Xiaofeng had a faint smile on his lips and replied calmly: "There is no need to be impatient. Let us move on. More truths in life are still waiting for us to discover."

The three of them took steps again and went deep into the alley. A sudden silhouette came into view at the corner of the street. It was a blind beggar with only one eye. His pale eyeballs were empty, like a pair of dead souls who had lost their souls. The fish eyes exuded a strange coldness.

In front of this skinny body, a broken celadon bowl stood alone, with a few rusty copper coins scattered in it, silently telling the poverty and hardship of life.

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes touched this picture, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. His arms struck out like a snake, and in an instant, he silently took the few copper plates from the bowl, and then hid them in his wide cuffs.

This series of movements is so fast that others can hardly catch its trajectory.

Li Dexian, standing on one side, witnessed all this, dumbfounded, his face full of astonishment, and his mind filled with confused questions.

Before he could ask, the blind beggar seemed to sense some kind of change. In an instant, he shot up from the ground like an arrow and rushed straight towards Lin Xiaofeng. The whites of his empty eyes locked tightly on Lin Xiaofeng's face.

Faced with such an offensive, Lin Xiaofeng not only did not show any fear, but instead showed a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, spread his hands openly, and said teasingly: "Oh, poor beggar, the little property you just lost is from Was it stolen from my left hand, or did it slip from my right hand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he showed his left and right palms. In the left palm were several familiar copper plates lying firmly, and in the right palm was a shining silver ingot.

The blind beggar hesitated for a moment when he heard the sound, then grinned, smiled honestly, and replied without hesitation: "Right hand!"

However, Lin Xiaofeng smiled slyly and announced loudly: "If the answer is wrong, then all the money will be confiscated!"

When the blind beggar heard these words, his face changed slightly. In an instant, the previous disguise in his eyes dissipated like mist, and his pupils returned to normal, but they were full of ruthlessness and cunning.

At this time, Xie Hongxin also slowly walked into the field of vision. With his clothes swaying, he could vaguely see various small weapons hanging on his waist, like a walking arsenal.

The blind beggar noticed this scene, immediately restored his blind posture, and silently retreated to his original position.

Li Dexian was dumbfounded as he watched, and couldn't help but exclaimed to Lin Xiaofeng: "Old Lin! You even want to take beggars' money?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked calm and responded calmly: "He is a liar. I am just doing justice for heaven, punishing evil and promoting good! The key is to expose his disguise, don't you see? He is not actually blind!"

After hearing this, Li Dexian felt a burst of sadness in his heart, feeling extremely aggrieved that his kindness was taken advantage of by this beggar.

He walked towards the blind beggar angrily, kicked him hard twice, and asked, "Why are you pretending to be blind?"

The blind beggar's face was full of sorrow. He endured the pain, hugged his knees tightly, buried his face deeply between his knees, and endured Li Dexian's anger.

At this moment, Li Dexian kicked him over, but accidentally lifted up the blind beggar's tattered clothes, and several more coins rolled out. With quick eyes and quick hands, Lin Xiaofeng grabbed it and put it in his pocket.

The blind beggar still lowered his head and cried with a sad voice. Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly stopped Li Dexian and sighed helplessly: "Oh, everyone in the world is suffering, let them go if you can."

After that, he took out a copper coin from his pocket, put it into the broken bowl, and gently comforted: "Okay, don't cry, this is a reward for you."

The blind beggar seemed to feel the sound of the coin falling to the ground. He slowly raised his tear-stained face, stared at the copper coin in the bowl, and fell into deep thought.

"Be patient, the fun is yet to come."

Lin Xiaofeng dragged Li Dexian forward. Soon after, they met another disabled beggar who had lost his legs on the roadside.

With a cunning spark in Lin Xiaofeng's eyes, he approached quietly, picked up the broken bowl in front of the beggar and planned to leave.

Li Dexian stared blankly, with mixed feelings in his heart, unable to guess what shocking move Lin Xiaofeng would do next.

Lin Xiaofeng poured all the coins in the bowl into his pocket, turned around and faced the distance, and threw the broken bowl into the air with all his strength.

A shocking scene appeared. The disabled beggar who had been slumped on the ground miraculously recovered his legs. He jumped up like a spring and ran towards the broken bowl that flew out.

Li Dexian was stunned, and a bitter taste filled his heart.

"I am really blind!" Li Dexian looked at Lin Xiaofeng with emotion, "What you said is indeed true!"

Lin Xiaofeng patted Li Dexian on the shoulder and said deeply: "In the world, people always have to go through ups and downs in order to grow. Everything in the world requires our careful insight and identification. With rich experience, we will naturally be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and will no longer be easily deceived."

Li Dexian suddenly understood at this moment, and asked with wide eyes: "Then how did you know that they are not real beggars? We don't have that many beggars in Yangqu County?"

The corner of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth raised slightly, just like the spring breeze blowing across the ripples on the lake. The light but deep smile was hidden in his dark eyes, reflecting a colorful but mottled picture of youth. .

In that picture, hardship and struggle were intertwined, forming a silent black-and-white movie that quietly played in his heart. What flowed were the memories that had been tempered in hardship.

When I first set foot in Yangqu County, the atmosphere of poverty here was almost breathless. The people's lives were so impoverished that they couldn't even open the pot. Some people were even so crazy that they dug three feet into the ground to find a chance to survive.

Although Yangqu County bears the name of a county, it is actually more like a remote frontier forgotten by time in the dust, full of devastation and silence.

Lin Xiaofeng, a white-collar worker from a prosperous city, has limited life skills to completing shopping orders with his fingertips on the keyboard, or cleaning at home and handling daily trivial matters.

As for the skills related to primitive survival methods such as farming and hunting, to him it was like blowing fire with a rolling pin - he had no idea at all. His world is completely different from the rules of survival in this barren land.

There are no pillar industries in Yangqu County, and food storage is even more pitiful. The villagers linger in the shadow of hunger day after day, watching each other's haggard faces become thinner day by day, looking forward to some kind of Miracles can fall from the sky.

The surrounding green mountains are lush and green, but to hungry people, they are just insurmountable barriers of despair. Even if you have the determination to climb, you will probably collapse halfway due to hunger and cold.

Long-term hunger is like a ruthless file, chipping away at people's dignity and pride bit by bit. Lin Xiaofeng finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to make a shocking move.

With a resolute expression and bold eyes, he resolutely led the folks in Yangqu County on the begging road to Juantian Mansion.

Under his inspiration, a team composed of old people, women and children quickly gathered, carrying the last handful of withered grain in the county. They bid farewell to the young men who stayed at home with tears and gave them countless instructions. Live frugally and conserve your energy.

As a result, this mighty team stumbled forward in the direction of Duantian Mansion.

When they first stepped into Duantian City, they were already exhausted, and the life in the city was even more difficult. With no experience, they wandered around the streets and alleys of the city for a month before they gradually figured out the meaning of begging. way.

However, Lin Xiaofeng is different from those villagers who stick to tradition. He has the adaptability and learning ability unique to modern people.

After encountering obstacles time and time again, he quickly learned his lesson and quickly mastered various "tactics" of begging.

Pretending to be blind or lame is a basic trick, but a more sophisticated approach is to have the accompanying women pretend to be pregnant. They slump in the streets with their bellies that look like they are about to give birth, and make heartbreaking pleas, even if they are stubborn. Even the hard-hearted people can’t bear to drive them away.

What's more, several elderly women were also carefully dressed up as pregnant women. This spectacle made the residents of Duantian Mansion widen their eyes, whisper, and be amazed.

In addition to telling the tragic story of family destruction and death, Lin Xiaofeng also used his modern perspective and the performing arts learned through online live broadcasts to make a bold innovation in begging methods.

He planned a series of lifelike situation dramas and participated in the battle himself. Sometimes he acted as a knowledgeable scholar. He first sharply laughed at the beggars around him, and then showed kindness and generosity to win the sympathy of the onlookers; sometimes he targeted the seemingly innocent people in the crowd. Wealthy pedestrians make sarcastic remarks to stir up emotions and receive more charity.

As the days passed, Lin Xiaofeng realized that the loose and orderly way of begging could not last long, and he was facing increasing pressure from the government.

Therefore, he began to systematically integrate local beggar groups to standardize and organize them.

As time goes by, Lin Xiaofeng seems to have been inadvertently pushed to that position by the hand of fate - the leader of the new "Beggars' Gang". Everything seems to be so logical and natural. His eyes sparkled with the light of a wise man, and with deep and firm steps, he stood quietly at the center of the gang, like a towering mountain, carrying the fate of the entire gang.

He waved the scepter in his hand as if he were drawing a grand picture, dividing the responsibilities within the gang in detail and building a multi-dimensional organizational structure. Elder Chuan Gong, this experienced and profound figure, his wrinkled face is full of wisdom accumulated over the years. He is like a walking begging secret book, focusing on teaching the gang members the unique begging skills. Using his experience and insights, Gradually improve the professional quality of the gang members so that they can navigate the world with ease.

The law enforcement elder is as upright as a heart of stone, with piercing eyes like a sharp sword. He is the embodiment of the gang's rules and precepts. He executes every rule unselfishly and resolutely defends the dignity and order of the gang. He is a strong shield to the outside world of the gang. Facing any force that attempts to challenge the peace of the gang, he will not hesitate to step forward and use his sharp methods to clear all obstacles for his master and ensure the safety of the gang.

The leader of the club is Lin Xiaofeng's right-hand man. He carries a heavy burden, but he lifts it with ease, shouldering the banner of daily management and operation of the gang. His eyes are bright and deep, and he can always guide the gang leader and deputy gang leader at critical decision-making moments, like the brightest Big Dipper in the night sky, and provide a steady stream of wisdom. And when the gang leader was unable to come in person due to work, he could steadily take over the scepter and act as the gang leader, so that the gang's ship would always move forward smoothly.

As for the leader of the palm bowl, the golden bowl in his hand is filled with the lifeblood of the gang's resources. He has sharp eyes and steady hands, and distributes every resource fairly and selflessly to ensure that fairness and justice within the gang are achieved to the greatest extent. Wherever his wise eyes go, he has established countless information circulation channels, with branches all over the place, allowing the gang's news to be transmitted quickly and resources to be shared without hindrance.

Under this carefully polished, strict and orderly management system, the "Beggars Gang" led by Lin Xiaofeng was like an awakened lion. In just one month, it emerged in the vast world of beggars in Duantian Mansion. Zhengrong has become the leader in the industry.

Their reputation spread far and wide, attracting beggars from all over the world, eager to join this new "gang of beggars" full of vitality and hope, and jointly write their own legends in the world.

Lin Xiaofeng's self-identity gradually became blurred in the calls of "gang leader", and the original shame of the begging life gradually faded under the harsh reality.

However, the development of things always leads to decline. Their actions eventually aroused the high vigilance of the Duentian Mansion officials, and a large-scale crackdown and rectification storm swept across.

Lin Xiaofeng had to exchange his hard-earned belongings for food, and led the elite army back to Yangqu County in a hurry. There, he used this group of beggar elites who had experienced the baptism of wind and rain to restructure the local government institutions and turn to legal alcohol production and commercial operations.

To this day, the arduous and tortuous story is still passed down orally among the people of Duantian Mansion. A ballad full of sadness and irony, "Iron doors, iron windows, iron chains..." continues to echo in the streets and alleys. It triggered emotions and discussions from countless people.

Whenever this familiar song rings in his ears, Lin Xiaofeng will always fall into deep thinking, with mixed feelings in his heart, and repeatedly reminisce about those painful and unforgettable years. Every memory is like a tempering to sharpen his heart.

Lin Xiaofeng then said: "The principles of everything in the world are like countless lines intertwined with longitude and latitude. They are complicated and intricate on the surface, but in fact they hide the laws of interconnectedness. When you reach the level of proficiency in one field, other knowledge will flow together like a trickle. Entering the vast river and sea, they penetrate and blend with each other and inspire each other.”

Lin Xiaofeng's fingers danced in the air, as if outlining an invisible map of knowledge, and his words became more profound and profound, "Remember, follow the path I take, and every step must be solid and powerful, so that you will not deviate." right way."

The lights of the city gradually light up, painting the dark night with a layer of soft warm tones.

Lin Xiaofeng raised his eyes and looked into the distance, staring at the last ray of the setting sun in the sky, and then looked sideways at Li Dexian. There was an almost hard-to-capture sense of care in his words, "I'll take you home first, and we can continue on the way." Explore the philosophical mysteries of life that have yet to be solved.”

···········································

On the other side, Li Haihua and Wu Xianyi, two partners in need, had blank faces and fear and uneasiness in their eyes. They were like frightened rabbits in the jungle, running through the bustling streets in a hurry, fearing that Lin Xiaofeng would change his mind in the blink of an eye. , led the crowd to pursue them.

Their footsteps were like beating war drums, rapid yet messy, each step vibrating in the streets and echoing in the air.

Time seemed to freeze for eternity. Li Haihua finally ran out of strength and dragged his tired steps to an abrupt stop under the dim street lights. He was followed by bursts of tearing coughs, and his mouth was filled with a sweet smell of rust. , lingering like a late-night nightmare.

Seeing this, Wu Xianyi's face was full of anxiety. He repeatedly slapped Li Haihua on the back and asked worriedly: "Brother Li, can you still hold on?"

Li Haihua coughed violently, bloodshot eyes appeared at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with perseverance and hatred. He gritted his teeth and struggled to spit out a sentence: "Ahem...Brother Wu, don't worry. Lin Xiaofeng's despicable behavior will not be tolerated by me." If Li Haihua does not avenge this, he will not be a human being!"

Wu Xianyi frowned, and a suppressed pain surged in his chest. He recalled the humiliating moment of being suppressed under the table in the banquet hall. Although he was thin, he tried his best to make himself smaller to reduce the pressure on Li Haihua.

At this moment, he said to Li Haihua in a firm tone: "Brother Li, please go to my house to rest tonight. We will make careful plans. The strategy for dealing with Lin Xiaofeng must be thorough!"

Li Haihua was panting and coughing, but he still managed to respond: "Ahem... Very good, everything is at the discretion of Brother Wu." However, Wu Xianyi flatly refused, insisting on sending Li Haihua home first, and vowed to Lin Xiaofeng will be punished severely.

The two supported each other and staggered into the door of Shangshu's mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, the butler's face was livid, and his anger jumped out. He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Master! What kind of change has happened to you? Who dares to bully you outside?"

At the same time, the housekeeper glanced sharply at Wu Xianyi and asked about his identity. Li Haihua coughed violently again, waved his hand to silence everyone, and ordered the servants to close the door of the house immediately.

As the heavy door of the mansion slowly closed, Li Haihua, although his face was pale, tried to straighten his body and leaned on the housekeeper, with a look of determination in his eyes. Wu Xianyi was still full of concern and cautiously asked: "Brother Li, are you okay?"

However, just before the words dissipated, Li Haihua's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were as cold as nine cold days. He pointed at Wu Xianyi in a hoarse and weak voice, and said one word at a time: "Here comes..." Ahem, teach him a lesson!"

When Wu Xianyi heard this, he was horrified. He quickly took a few steps back, but accidentally bumped into a nurse. He then bounced away. He raised his hands in the air and begged for mercy in panic: "Brother Li, why is this! We are obviously on the same camp. Brother!"

Li Haihua sneered, coughing with endless anger: "Ahem, you cunning person! Who is in the same boat with you! If you hadn't been secretly causing trouble, how could I have ended up in this situation! Beat me! Beat me to death. !”

Wu Xianyi wanted to defend himself, but the guards around him had already swarmed in. Sticks fell like raindrops, and shrill wails resounded throughout the mansion.

Li Haihua's face was gloomy, his eyes were like swords, and he stared indifferently at Wu Xianyi who was writhing in pain on the ground, and the anger in his heart burned even more intensely.

He turned to the housekeeper, his voice low and unmistakable: "Where is Yang Zhongyi now?"

Upon hearing this, the butler immediately bowed and replied: "Yang Zhongyi is waiting for your orders in the backyard."

"Bring him out and punish him together!" Li Haihua ordered.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Zhongyi was dragged out of the backyard with a face full of panic and thrown into the punishment scene of sticks and sticks.

He shouted heartbreakingly: "Master! Master! What did I do wrong? Why do you do this to me!"

Yang Zhongyi was heartbroken, full of doubts, and had no idea why he was treated like this.

It turned out that after helping Li Haihua confirm Lin Xiaofeng's identity, he had been waiting at the bow of the ship and had not intervened in the subsequent turmoil. Unexpectedly, he had just returned to Shangshu Mansion and was inexplicably beaten.

It wasn't until he heard Li Haihua mention Lin Xiaofeng's name that Yang Zhongyi suddenly realized, guessing that Li Haihua must have fallen into Lin Xiaofeng's hands.

Lin Xiaofeng, this name is like an evil spell, bringing countless disasters and sorrows to his life since they first met.

"Master! Master! I am just following your orders, why should I bear such pain and torture!" Yang Zhongyi was filled with grief and anger, his body was covered with bruises, and his heart was full of innocence and grievance.

He recalled his behavior on the boat and found that he had indeed done nothing wrong. He only pointed out Lin Xiaofeng's identity and then left the scene, but he did not want to be greeted by a disaster when he returned.

He knew in his heart that all of this might really be related to the concubine who died innocently and tragically. Maybe it was her ghost who came to seek revenge.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhongyi lost all hope and allowed the stick to wreak havoc, no longer willing to defend himself.

Under the hazy light, Wu Xianyi noticed that the comrades around him no longer made painful sounds of struggle, but were as silent as a rock, letting the storm of sticks wash over them. He immediately used Yang Zhongyi's towering body as a barrier. This solid barrier helped him withstand many sharp and vicious attacks.

When Li Haihua witnessed this scene, his pupils shrank sharply, his Adam's apple twitched, and his words were mixed with shock and anger: "Okay! Wu Xianyi, it turns out that you are hiding behind that kid and living an ignoble existence! It must have been the same just now! No wonder this young master is seriously injured. Much worse than you!"

"Separate them and fight each one!" Li Haihua roared angrily, his orders ringing like thunder.

When Wu Xianyi heard this scolding, his internal organs suddenly seemed to be burned by fire. However, after being tortured by a storm of sticks, he had to give up his futile resistance and covered his cheeks with his hands tightly. There was only one obsession in his heart: Even if he was bruised and bruised, Never let this face be tarnished.
