While the coachman whipped the horse's butt wildly to keep the carriage moving at a fast speed, he thought to himself, I can't just let this old guy do it. I should force him to agree to compensate for my losses first, otherwise after a while, this old guy will be out of danger. If he doesn't admit it, what can I do against him? After all, we are two grasshoppers on the same rope now. When the time comes, he will beat me up and say that I ran away for my own sake and that the whole thing has nothing to do with him, and I will have trouble defending myself.
Thinking of this, while driving the car, he angrily said to Laifu behind him: "I am very unlucky for saving you. I am not sure whether I can save my life now, even if I can escape death in the end." , my loss is also great.
My horse has been used for eight or nine years and is in its prime. How can it bear it now when it is forced to run at such a fast speed? Even if the horse can save his life after this incident, it will be useless and it will be difficult to help me pull goods in the future.
Moreover, my carriage cannot withstand such bumps. It is a blessing among misfortunes that it can hold on until now without falling apart.
And all these losses are due to you. "
Laifu, who is obedient and cunning like a jackal, has long heard the coachman's true intention. He could have easily dealt with the coachman and used various means to refuse to compensate him for his losses, but in this dangerous situation, He couldn't do this, because if he cheated and the driver went on strike, he would be dead.
"Brother, I know your difficulties, and I also know that I have caused you a lot of trouble. Let's do this. After your losses are over, I will compensate you for all your losses. You can just make a price for how many taels of silver you need, and I will never counter-offer. "
The coachman originally thought that judging from Lai Fu's dress, he was at most a servant from a wealthy family. His family must not have much money, and it would be very difficult to squeeze some money out of him, so he was already prepared to be rejected. Be prepared and plan to bargain with Laifu.
What surprised the coachman was that the old guy he saved was very conscious. Before he even asked him to compensate for his losses, he saw through his intentions and agreed to compensate himself.
After all his worries were gone, the coachman no longer had any worries about his whip, and he whipped it wildly on the horse's back. The horse, which couldn't bear the pain, had no choice but to run forward.
After the carriage accelerated again, it brought up a puff of smoke and dust, completely throwing away the servants of the Zhou family who were chasing behind.
Seeing that the carriage was about to disappear in the smoke, the chasing servants all stopped in despair and stood there breathing heavily. They all knew in their hearts that the pursuit of Laifu had failed.
Unless someone could fly at this time, it would be impossible to catch up with the fast carriage.
"Laifu's dog life is really too big, and he actually let him run away like this!"
"It seems that this old boy has already prepared a way out. No wonder he has the courage to slander our young master."
"It's really heartbreaking."
The servants were panting from exhaustion and could not resolve the anger in their hearts, so they could only curse Laifu.
Among the crowd, the two servants who had just beaten up Laifu were almost crying in despair, because they knew in their hearts that if they could not catch Laifu, Yi Ming would definitely not be able to spare them. Moreover, the old and new debts would be settled together, so they still It is unknown whether the two of them will be able to see the sun tomorrow if they have to shoulder the mistakes made by Laifu and be punished for all crimes.
The two looked at each other and asked each other what to do. Although they both knew in their hearts that escaping at this time was the only way to survive, neither of them had the courage to do so. After all, Yi Ming's martial arts skills were so high. To escape under his nose would be to seek death.
Just when the two of them were frowning and wondering what to do, Yi Ming came over.
"Master, slaves deserve to die, let this boy Laifu escape!"
The servants were afraid that Yi Ming would blame them, so they quickly admitted their mistakes and begged for mercy.
"I don't blame you. This old boy is too cunning. He has prepared the carriage in advance. How can you possibly catch up with your feet?" Zhou Yiming said lightly, "But it's not that easy for him to escape in front of me. things.
Come with me! "
After Zhou Yiming said these words, he mobilized his energy, and then like a gust of wind, he chased towards the carriage.
When people came to their senses, he was no longer around. They looked in the direction in which the carriage was escaping, only to realize that he had already chased him only fifty steps away from the carriage.
Everyone exclaimed: "Oh my god, the young master is really a god!"
Everyone didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly chased him, for fear of delaying their young master's arrest plan.
The coachman thought that because his carriage was traveling so fast, he must have escaped the pursuit of the group of people, but he still did not dare to relax at all. After all, he was able to stay in this industry for so many years because he could sail a boat with great care. I have never encountered danger, and I rely on just a few words of caution.
He still waved his riding crop frequently, not daring to slow down the carriage. At the same time, he kept thinking in his mind, how much should he ask the old guy for?
Just at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past. Before the coachman could react, the fast-running horse suddenly stood up with its front legs in the air, and the carriage also stopped.
Because the carriage was traveling so fast just now, when it stopped, the huge inertia caused the carriage to jolt violently. The Rifle in the carriage tumbled and almost fell to death.
"Brother, how did you drive the coach? You almost fell me to death!" Although Laifu did not dare to rebuke the coachman loudly, he still complained.
The driver sitting in front was also confused. He had never encountered such a situation in all his years as a driver.
He quickly tightened the reins and wanted to use the riding crop to whip the horse so that it could continue on its way.
But when he pulled the reins, he felt something was wrong. He glanced to the side and was immediately shocked. He saw a man standing next to the horse, holding the reins tightly in his hand, firmly controlling the horse, making it difficult for it to move.
This person is Zhou Ming.
The carriage driver did not recognize Zhou Ming's identity at first. He just thought that this person was so powerful that he actually forcibly pulled the reins of the horse and stopped the carriage while the carriage was traveling at high speed. You know, if ordinary people If you dared to do this, your arms and legs would have been broken long ago, or even if you were unlucky, you would be dragged out by a fast-moving carriage and your life would be dead in just a cup of tea.
It's just that the driver was in a hurry to escape and had no time to admire Yi Ming.
He stared at Zhou Ming with an angry look on his face and shouted: "Boy, do you want your life? Let go, don't delay my important event!"
Zhou Yiming smiled slightly, and with a strong hand, he grabbed all the reins: "If you can clearly explain your relationship with the person in the car, I can spare your life. If not, it will be the same as a riding crop."
As soon as Zhou Ming finished speaking, before the coachman could react, he suddenly snatched the riding crop from his hand, and then divided it into pieces with his Yuan Power.
The coachman was shocked, knowing that he had encountered a ruthless person today. If he was not careful in his subsequent response, he might never be able to return home again.
He turned over and got off the carriage, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Sir, I have nothing to do with the man in the carriage. I just saw him lying on the ground pitifully when I passed by the door. I heard this again." His sweet words made him soft-hearted for a moment and saved him in the car. As for what grudges there are between you, I really don't know at all.
Every wrongdoer has his own owner. If you want to take him away, feel free to do it. I will never spread this matter. Please be kind and let me go.
I'm just a stinky rickshaw puller, and I don't have much money with me. My whole family relies on me to support them. "
The driver has rich experience in the world and has a strong survival instinct. The series of reactions he made and the words he said may save his life even if he encounters a gangster wandering the world.
After all, those robbers who rob homes and homes have nothing to gain and can't squeeze out any profit, so they don't bother to kill you.
Laifu, who was covered in injuries, was already dying. After the violent jolt of the carriage just now, his injuries became more serious. He could barely breathe and died suddenly on the spot.
After he calmed down a little, he noticed that the carriage had stopped. He immediately realized that something was wrong. He was afraid that he would be caught up by the Zhou family, so he hurriedly poked his head out of the carriage shed and asked the coachman: "Brother, why did you stop?" Come down? We are not out of danger yet. This is not a place to stay for a long time, but you let..."
After saying this, he saw the scene in front of him clearly. He saw the coachman kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to others, and standing in front of him was a handsome young man.
After recognizing the young master's identity, Laifu said tremblingly: "Young Master..."
Before he could finish what he said, he was so frightened that he fainted.
At this time, the servants who were following Zhou Ming finally caught up. When they saw the coachman kneeling on the ground, they gritted their teeth with hatred. After all, the carriage he drove just now almost exhausted them to death.
Everyone couldn't help but stretched out their hands to beat him up.
The coachman was so frightened that he lay on the ground and covered his head, thinking that he might not be able to escape this time.
"Everyone, stop! Laifu is in the carriage. Take him back to the house quickly. As for the coachman, leave it to me!" Zhou Yiming spoke to stop everyone from hurting innocent people.
Although the servants were angry, they did not dare to disobey Yi Ming's order. They could only walk away from the carriage driver and pull the rifle out of the carriage.
Everyone saw that he had lost consciousness and was covered in scars. They knew that he would definitely not be able to walk, so they selected a few young and strong people to carry him back.
Zhou Yiming stood in front of the coachman and asked: "That old guy, what did you say to you just now? Tell me in detail."
