The fat man glanced sideways at Li Shimao: "Okay, ask him to pour me tea."
Foreman Cai winked at Li Shimao.
Zhu Bai stuck his head out from the second floor and looked down.
Li Shimao suppressed the fire, took the tea from someone else's hand, put it on the table next to the fat man, and said roughly: "Drink tea, sir."
The fat man: "Is this how you pour tea?"
Foreman Cai was afraid that Li Shimao would be pushed into a hurry and took action again, and said quickly: "Don't argue with him. You should be tired after listening to him for an hour. Drink tea, drink tea. Let's calm down."
The fat man said: "Thankfully the foreman can speak. Otherwise, I will definitely sue you to King Xiang."
Li Shimao gritted his teeth secretly: You damn fat man, you are seeking death like this. If I don't let you suffer a little bit, how can you survive in Yingtian in the future?
-----
The fat man wandered around the dental shop, drank some free snacks and tea, and then left.
Entering a small alley, a few big men appeared in front of me out of nowhere.
The fat man saw something was wrong and wanted to run away, but was blocked by people at the entrance of the alley.
The fat man stammered and asked: "You, you, you, what do you want to do? In broad daylight, in the clear sky, under the emperor's feet, don't mess around."
Li Shimao sneered: "Haha, can this young master be bullied by a bastard like you?"
Then several big men swarmed up and punched and kicked the fat man.
When passersby saw that he was a servant of the Li Mansion, they all ran away. Firstly they couldn't bear to see the fat man being bullied, and secondly they were afraid of getting into trouble.
As a result, the fat man looked bulky, but he was very flexible in the fight, dodging left and right, spinning in circles in the alley like a top.
Surrounded by seven or eight people, not only did he not suffer much, he could also take the opportunity to give the opponent a few blows.
When the people saw it, they thought it was interesting, just like a sideshow, and then they all gathered around to cheer the fat man on.
When the fat man saw someone cheering him on, he became more and more courageous as he fought.
Li Shimao was so angry: "You useless things, seven of you can't beat one dead fat guy."
The servants knew that they had met Lian Jiazi, and they couldn't beat him. They didn't dare to run, so they could only hold on.
"What's the fuss about?" someone shouted in the alley.
The onlookers immediately moved out of the way.
It turned out that Xu Du, the commander of the North City Army and Horses Division, was passing by on his inspection tour.
The servants felt a sense of relief when they saw Conductor Xu Du: this farce was finally over.
At least they don't have to get beaten anymore.
Xu Du commanded: "If a crowd gathers to fight, take them all back to me."
Li Shimao was a little panicked now. His original plan was to teach the fat man a lesson and then leave, without waiting for the Soldiers and Horses Division to intervene.
It would be troublesome to have anything to do with the Soldiers and Horses Division.
This incident spread throughout Yingtian City from various teahouses and restaurants in less than an hour.
Everyone was curious about who this fat man was, who dared to openly confront the Li family in Yingtian City.
The key is that he has outstanding skills and taught the Li family a lesson, which was really satisfying.
Today is different from the past. Zhu Yuanzhang had already seriously warned the Li family about the incident at the roasted seeds and nuts shop last time.
If he offends again, Lao Zhu will only punish him severely and will never show any favoritism.
So Li Dacai was very nervous and hurriedly went to the Beicheng Military and Horse Division to take care of things.
Commander Xu Du sighed: "Master Li, it's not that this official is unaccommodating, you also know that person's temper. I really don't dare to..."
Just kidding, so many people on the street watched Li Shimao being arrested, but he turned around and let him go quietly.
He was the next one to be skinned and exposed.
Li Dacai said: "What should we do now?"
Xu Du commanded: "If you are grinding here, you might as well go to King Xiang to find a solution. Now, the only person who can have such face in front of the emperor, besides the prince, is King Xiang."
Li Dacai suddenly realized: Yes, Li Shimao is now Zhu Bai's subordinate. Zhu Bai is the best choice.
Li Dacai begged Xu Du to suppress the matter and went to find Zhu Bai anxiously.
Zhu Bai was currently listening to the various foremen of the Guanya Bureau reporting on today's situation.
Li Dacai could only listen outside according to his temper.
Foreman Cai said: "Li Shimao left at noon without saying hello and has not returned yet."
Zhu Bai said: "Remember to leave early."
Foreman Cai added: "He made trouble at noon and scared all the customers away. There were not many customers in the afternoon."
Then the other foremen echoed: "No. No one has done any work all afternoon."
"I heard outside that our Guanya Bureau is going to be taken over by the Li family. Not only the land trading side, but also the commodity trading side, many merchants want to withdraw."
"Even the official bank had a cash run in the afternoon, with tens of thousands of taels of silver withdrawn in one afternoon."
Li Dacai's heart grew colder the more he listened outside.
Zhu Bai must hate Li Shimao so much now, how could he help go to Lao Zhu to plead for mercy.
But besides begging Zhu Bai, he had no other option at the moment.
When the foremen came out, Li Dacai went in bravely and bowed to Zhu Bai: "Your Highness, please save the dog."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows: "Master Li, don't you understand?"
Li Dacai blushed and said: "Quanzi is young and energetic, and he actually got into fights with others. Now he is locked up in the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division Prison."
He was embarrassed to say that Li Shimao couldn't stand the guests' anger and vented his anger, otherwise Zhu Bai would definitely be even more angry.
Zhu Bai waved his hand: "Don't panic. The Army and Horse Department will come and report to me later. If the commanders can't make a decision, I will personally try it. You go downstairs and wait."
Li Dacai hesitated to speak and could only walk around in the yard and wait. In fact, he had already asked someone to deliver a message to the palace.
I wonder if Li Shufei has come up with something at this time.
After a while, the five commanders also arrived and took turns reporting to Zhu Bai.
Finally, there is the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division.
When Zhu Bai heard Xu Du's command that seven of them could not defeat one, he suddenly became excited and said, "It's so powerful. Bring everyone on both sides to show me."
All the commanders were dumbfounded: Ah, Your Highness, that’s not the point.
Wait for someone to stop below.
Zhu Bai immediately pointed at Li Shimao: "Eh? Isn't this an agent from the Guanya Bureau?"
Then he pointed at the fat man: "Hey, isn't this the customer who was beaten by Manager Li this morning?"
Li Shimao was so embarrassed that he bowed his head and said: "You are wrong, this villain. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
The fat man knelt down and said with snot and tears: "Please King Xiang to make the decision. The villain was beaten by seven of them. It's too miserable."
The five people who originally looked disgusted all ordered and couldn't help laughing.
The seven people all had bruises and swollen faces. The fat man didn't even have a scratch on his face, and he didn't know who was worse off.
The fat man blew his nose loudly and rambled that he was originally visiting relatives in Yingtian. I heard that Yingtian Guanya Bureau was doing well, so I wanted to come here to broaden my horizons. Unexpectedly, I was beaten as soon as I entered the Guanya Bureau, and again when I came out.
Li Shimao was angry and resentful. He only blamed himself for judging people by their appearance, but he didn't realize that this damn fat man was extremely cunning. He pretended to be weak in front of Zhu Bai, and pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger behind his back. Now the villain complained first.
