Chapter 30: Bullying
Xue Jinyi was dumbfounded, a restaurant shopkeeper could actually ask someone to beat the son of a court official in public?
Looking at the expressions of the onlookers, it seems to be commonplace.
Boss Sun forcibly held the girl in Tsing Yi in his arms and looked at it with a smile, without the slightest intention of stopping it.
Surprised, she looked very "heretical", she hurriedly restrained her expression, and watched several thugs who followed the carriage rush forward, and kicking down the man was a wild beating.
The son of the Yuanwailang family screamed a few times in pain at first, and then his voice became lower and lower.
"I'm afraid this little young master Tao is going to be beaten to a half-crippled point."
"Alas, fortunately, his father is a court official, if he is replaced by ordinary people, he will definitely be killed directly to feed the dog!"
Listening to the discussions of the people next to her, Xue Jinyi knew that they would not kill anyone, but seeing that one person was beaten, how could she stand by and watch?
She looked left and right and saw two men dressed in officers and soldiers walking towards her, but they did not stop the beater, but instead stood beside Boss Sun with their arms crossed, and asked with a smile which idiot made him unhappy.
There is really no royal law, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven!
Xue Jinyi took advantage of everyone's attention in front of the restaurant, walked quickly to the stove where the tea shed was cooking noodles, took out a burning firewood from the stove, carefully hid it behind her, and then found a corner where no one was paying attention.
said that it was too late, and the moment Xue Jinyi threw out the firewood, she quickly slipped back to the tea shed and approached the stone lion at the door of the restaurant.
She saw that the firewood was thrown on the roof of the carriage, and after a short time there were bursts of white smoke and sparks beating.
"Boss Sun's car is on fire!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Boss Sun looked back, his face was pale with fright, the thugs and the shop guys didn't care about beating people, and hurriedly escorted Boss Sun into the restaurant for refuge, and in the hurry, the green-clothed maid was pushed out by Boss Sun fiercely, fell to the ground, and wiped a bloody stain on her palm, which made her cry in pain.
The people from the two government offices hurriedly organized a firefight, and some well-wishers helped the maid up.
In a panic, Xue Jinyi took advantage of the lack of attention, grabbed the hand of the little master of the Tao family, and rushed into the alley not far away.
As soon as she let go, the little young master sat on the ground, hugged his head and begged, "Don't beat me!" ”
"Like a human!" Xue Jinyi scolded and kicked him with her toes.
The little young master of the Tao family raised his head blankly, only to find that the person in front of him was not a fierce thug of the Sun family, but an ordinary-looking young man, "Yes...... You saved me? ”
"Hmm." Xue Jinyi handed over the handkerchief that hurried, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and asked, "How much do you know about this restaurant?" ”
The little boy of the Tao family was grateful to the young man for saving him, and replied truthfully: "The restaurant run by the Sun family has good cooking skills, and the business is particularly prosperous, and there are often dignitaries and nobles who come here to eat and drink. I heard that once the emperor summoned the chef of the restaurant, because the sake lees fish made by the cook was better than the imperial kitchen. ”
Xue Jinyi frowned, the Sun family is really good at business......
She asked, "Do they often bully people like that?" ”
At the mention of this, the little boy of the Tao family felt pain all over his body again, and he was even more irritated, and he was indignant, and scolded: "But a businessman, you can be lawless when you go to the Weiguo Mansion!" No matter what happens, there is the Weiguo Mansion on top, but if you don't look at who is not pleasing to the eye, you can ask the thugs to beat them up? ”
Xue Jinyi sighed, it seems that the Sun family not only has the Weiguo Mansion, but also colludes with some officials, so what is the difference between the son of the Wailang family, a member of the six departments, and an ant in their eyes?
The little boy of the Tao family was still chattering and scolding, "...... If you count the evil deeds of the Sun family, you can't finish talking about ten days and ten nights! It's too much to read! I only hope that the sky will have eyes, and let them get retribution as soon as possible! ”
Xue Jinyi's eyelids jumped, if the Sun family suffered, then it must be because something happened to the backer Weiguo Mansion, and she was surnamed Xue, so she would inevitably be affected, unless this "tumor" was removed as soon as possible.
If you have read the history books, you will know that this kind of big family with great power and indulgence in letting relatives do evil, one day the tree will fall and scatter, and it is a big question to want a big family to continue in peace.
"Then what are you going to do in that restaurant?" Tao Gongzi was full of swearing, but Xue Jinyi was too lazy to listen and interrupted.
The little boy of the Tao family was stunned for a moment, and then cried, "My Aqing is really a ruthless person......"
"Where is your home?" Xue Jinyi interrupted him again.
In the end, she sent the crying little son of the Tao family home, and saw the potter wailang, who was a weak scholar, and when he heard that his son was beaten, he could not do anything except beat his chest and scold a few words.
The Tao family gave Xue Jinyi some silver money and snacks to thank them for saving the little son.
She came out of Tao's house, took the reward money to buy some easy-to-store rice, noodles and vegetables, and then returned to the Weiguo Mansion.
Mama Yao waited for a long time, and finally waited for her back, excitedly took Xue Jinyi's hand, and looked at it from head to toe, "Miss, you didn't encounter danger when you went out, right?" ”
"It's okay," Xue Jinyi said with a smile: "The Baiyun Temple has already arranged it." Is there anything going on at home? ”
"There's nothing going on at home," Mama Yao complained, "It's just that Caiyun's girl ate three big steamed buns alone at noon, and she still wants to eat the noodles you made, Miss, but she is really delusional." ”
"There's not much left of the steamed buns, right?" Xue Jinyi changed her clothes and walked to the stove.
Mama Yao said, "There are only two left." By the way, have you finished eating the two you brought out, Miss? ”
When it comes to steamed buns, Xue Jinyi thinks of the King of Chu who suffered a thousand cuts.
"Well, it's all over." Her heart was turbulent, and she said plainly on the surface.
"Miss has a good appetite, and her body will follow!" Mama Yao smiled.
Xue Jinyi had just kicked the greedy and stingy ghost King Chu out of his mind, and grabbed a paper bag out of his hand in the cloth bag to dig out the ingredients, and the damn King Chu was bubbling in his mind again.
Her face changed slightly, next time she made something that looked good, but it was actually bitter, spicy and sour, and she would look like King Chu snatched it and ate it.
No, let's never meet the King of Chu again.
"Miss, what's in this paper bag?" Mama Yao asked curiously.
"A pack of rose tea, soaked in water to drink." Xue Jinyi took another thing out and diverted the topic, "I originally wanted to fry steamed buns tonight, but since I didn't have one, let's make a steamed duck." ”
Mama Yao looked at the duck that was plucked and bled on the board, and said in surprise: "Miss, you still do this?" ”
"Just wait and eat." Xue Jinyi instructed: "Mama, please cook for you." ”
"Good!" Mama Yao replied with a smile.
Caiyun struggled to stand up and looked at the stove, "What are you going to eat tonight?" ”
"Eat what you haven't eaten."
