Volume 4: Gathering of Sages Chapter 723: Soft and Hard
When the fourth prince and Xiaohua Xiaocheng visited the third Gao family, it was more difficult than the previous two families, Chen and Fang. You must know that the eldest brother of the Gao family is an unreasonable gambler. He wanted to sell his younger brother for money to pay off his gambling debts before, but failed. Today, when he saw three neatly dressed and handsome children coming to his house, he immediately had a crooked idea and sneaked out to call his two friends.
When these three menacing fellows came in, the eldest brother of the Gao family, who had just walked out without paying attention to anyone, grinned and said, "These are the three little things! Didn't the old man of the Zhao family say that the best ones are from Fujian? Look at these three tender and delicate ones, they will definitely sell for a good price! Hehe, it's a windfall that fell from the sky, it would be a waste if you don't pick it up!"
Gao's father and mother were entertaining guests with dates from their own date tree, and they were immediately panicked when they heard this. But none of them could do anything about their eldest son, and they knew that this man and the other two were the three famous bullies in the area. Even if they shouted at the top of their lungs, no one would come to rescue them, because no one dared to!
Seeing the three big men approaching, the Fourth Prince and Xiao Chengxiaohuasheng reacted immediately after their initial surprise.
The fourth prince reacted most directly. After knocking the other person away with his head, he suddenly kicked him in the crotch! Almost instantly, he saw the guy who had just bared his teeth and claws collapsed to the ground, his whole body bent like a big shrimp and rolling around. He was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to yell. But he still didn't feel relieved, so he rushed over and kicked the man twice more.
Peanut was not polite either, and kicked Gao's eldest brother hard on his instep. While he was screaming in pain, he raised his head and hit him hard on the chin. The man burst into tears and lost his ability to defend himself. He was beaten by Peanut's punches and fell to the ground unconscious.
In contrast, Xiao Cheng's attack looked quite weak at first glance, but when he grabbed the opponent's wrist, he made several dazzling interceptions. Then, Gao's father and mother were shocked to see that the sturdy man was suddenly thrown into the air and then fell heavily to the ground. It turned out that the little guy had completely defeated the burly man!
That's really... it hurts just to watch! Ah Liu, who was hiding in the dark, originally wanted to take action at the critical moment, but when he saw the three little guys succeed, even he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Of course, that was not out of sympathy for the three unlucky guys, but out of amazement at the skills of the three little guys.
He was very familiar with the three little guys and knew that the only one among the three who had good qualifications and had practiced before was Xiao Cheng - there was no doubt that he was taught by Zhu Tingfang when he was studying at the Liu family.
As for the other two, the fourth prince should have started learning self-defense in the palace, but I don't know who taught him that extremely ruthless kick to the crotch just now... The palace guards shouldn't be so shameless, and it's very likely that the emperor taught him this killer move. And Peanut's unique skills of stomping and chin-butting are likely learned from the market, or it may be taught by Xian Yunhe.
While Ah Liu was trying to figure out the "unique skills" of the three little guys, the Fourth Prince, who had made great achievements in one fell swoop, was originally very happy. However, when he saw the achievements of his two little friends, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and then secretly clicked his tongue.
Everyone is actually stronger than him! If he hadn't kicked someone in the groin just now, he would have been in danger!
Seeing that Father and Mother Gao were already stunned, the Fourth Prince clapped his hands and said to himself as if nothing had happened: " How dare they rob a good boy in broad daylight? Well, Xiaohuasheng, go and inform the South City Military Department and arrest these evil people quickly. Who knows how many people they have harmed!"
Seeing their son groaning on the ground, the two old men couldn't believe their eyes. They had never been able to deal with people and these bad friends - after all, they couldn't beat them, and scolding them would only lead to punches and kicks. They woke up from their dreams when they heard this. They didn't care about their son and the other two guys who were like dead dogs on the ground. They hurriedly guarded the door while the other begged for mercy from the three little guys.
However, after they racked their brains to plead for their son, Xiao Huasheng stroked his chin and said, "Zheng Yan, forget it. If Xiao Gao's elder brother is sent to jail, what will happen to Xiao Gao's parents? Let's be merciful when we can."
Seeing that Gao's parents were relieved, he changed the subject and said, "But, Uncle Gao, Aunt Gao, your eldest brother is like a villain and wants to rob and sell us. If we don't punish him, he will definitely implicate you in the future. Lord Zhu of the South City Military Department is a man who doesn't tolerate any injustice. If he gets into our hands for other things in the future, we will be in trouble!"
Both Mr. and Mrs. Gao were extremely cowardly, otherwise they would not have been forced into a desperate situation by their eldest son. When they heard what Xiao Huasheng said, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Seeing that his words had worked, Xiao Huasheng continued to persuade him, "How about this, if you really want to do this for Xiao Gao's big brother, you should teach his two bad friends a lesson!"
Gao's father and mother looked at each other in bewilderment. It was human nature to prefer the death of a friend to the death of the poor. As long as they could save their son, they didn't care what happened to the two guys.
However, it is easier said than done. If these two hooligans can be dealt with, will the neighbors in this area still dare to be angry but not speak out? Everyone is worried that if the government just gives them a beating and lets them go, they will become even more violent!
Seeing the two's concerns, Peanut said confidently, "I know several military officers of the South City Military Department because of Lu Jijiu and Zhang Xueshi. How about I send these two bastards over? As long as they are in jail or doing hard labor, they won't cause any harm to others, right?"
Faced with such a proposal that was like a long-awaited rain, Gao's father and mother looked at each other and nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice. However, they both thought in their hearts that as long as their son didn't have such bad friends, then it should be... okay, right? But what if another bad friend showed up to hook up with him?
It is said that a dog will always eat shit. It’s not that they look down on the eldest son, but he is already a bad person!
The Fourth Prince looked at the expressions of the two elders, how could he not understand their concerns? And he really couldn't stand the fact that the two of them indulged in such a disaster. His eyes rolled around, and he suddenly thought of something Zhang Shou had said, and immediately coughed heavily: "In fact, if you want Xiao Gao's elder brother to walk the right path, it's very easy, just find him a job!"
It would be fine if they didn't talk about this topic, but once they started talking about it, Gao's father and mother were filled with grievances.
Especially Gao's father, who was beaten by his own son at an old age, burst into tears: "We have found him a job everywhere, but he always causes trouble wherever he goes. In the end, we either have to apologize to him or the employer sends people to kick him out... And every time he wants to cause trouble at other people's places for revenge, after a few times, our family has almost lost its reputation in the neighborhood!"
"Even when Xiao Er went to the public school, he took the exam secretly. He didn't dare to let him know. This was because Xiao Er had the help of the Fang family boy and Chen San. Otherwise, he would not have gotten away with the neighbors' guarantee. Later, the public school sent someone to investigate. Fortunately, the evildoer was not there. I said all kinds of good things to them, and finally the fact that he had a bad brother was suppressed."
"But this little bastard actually wanted to sell his brother out because he was in debt!"
Gao's mother wiped her tears as she spoke: "I really want to go to the government office to sue him for disobedience, but he is my flesh and blood after all. If I think about what will happen to him if he is convicted of disobedience by the government office, I will back off! If there is really a place that can take him in and control him, I will really keep the name of that boss at home and burn incense for him every day!"
Seeing this, the Fourth Prince laughed and said, "Although there are few such bosses, they are definitely not absent! Peanut, you should recognize Chief Escort Cao from the Shunhe Escort Agency in Cangzhou, right?"
Little Peanut was just thinking of a solution, and at this moment he was overjoyed and clapped his hands immediately.
"Yes, Shunhe Escort Agency is a good place! Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao, Chief Escort Cao is known as the best fighter in Cangzhou, and the escorts in the escort agency are also brave men. Why don't we send Xiao Gao to the escort agency to help out and hone his skills?"
Seeing that Peanut understood so quickly, the Fourth Prince chimed in, "Anyway, with his little ability, no one will be able to beat him when he gets there! If he can correct his behavior in the future and become a porter in the escort agency, wouldn't you two elders be very happy? A prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold, this is a great opportunity!"
Seeing that the Fourth Prince and Xiao Huasheng were working together to make Gao's father and mother stunned, Xiao Cheng, who was serious and not good at speaking, quietly left the Gao family. He looked around and saw that there was no one there. He didn't know whether he saw the three villains who had just been inside come back or for some other reason, but he coughed twice.
Finding that there was still no movement, Xiao Cheng whispered, "Sixth Brother, are you there? If you are, come out. We still need your help."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure floating down in front of him. Seeing that it was Ah Liu, the little guy whispered, "Sixth brother, can you go to the South City Military Department and tell Brother Zhu what's going on here, and ask him to send a few people over to drag the two villains away? The sun is about to set, and if we don't hurry up, the public school will be closed, right?"
"That's a good excuse." Ah Liu glanced at Xiao Cheng, then turned around and left without saying a word. After the fight just now, he was sure that these three little guys would not suffer any loss easily. Besides, there should be other imperial attendants secretly.
After hearing what he said before he left, Xiao Cheng, who had not even activated the skill of speaking differently to different people, let alone maxing it out, suddenly blushed.
He was not in a hurry to deal with the matter because his classmate surnamed Gao was going home - after all, it would take a long time to walk back here from the public school - he hated the three villains so much that he hoped that Liu would quickly find someone from the South City Military Department to deal with two of them.
As long as those two were captured, facing such a result, he believed that Gao's father and mother would no longer hesitate.
As for what kind of life baptism the Gao family boss will experience after being thrown into Shunhe Escort Agency, he doesn't care, and doesn't want to know. Anyway, it would be best if he can turn around. If he can't turn around, according to what Xiaohuasheng said, he will be beaten three times a day, and the people in the Escort Agency will definitely be able to deal with him!
It was not known whether it was because Zhu Tingfang was always decisive and swift, or because Ah Liu went there personally, or because the Fourth Prince and his sworn brother Xiao Chengquan were both there, but the people from the South City Military Department arrived in less than a quarter of an hour.
A dozen riders roared through this mixed crowd of lower-class slum residents, causing people in each house to secretly look out the door, but after seeing who was there, they hurriedly retracted their heads and hurriedly bolted the door.
So, when these people went straight into Gao's house, Gao's father and mother were so scared that they lost their souls. They watched helplessly as a hooded man came over, identified the three people on the ground, and dragged away the two villains except their son.
Because the three children in the yard had not left yet, they could not believe that the other party had supernatural powers. They just thought that the two villains had committed other crimes. Therefore, even though they were horrified, when they saw the other party come in and drag people away without saying a word, Gao's father still stepped forward to stop one of them and asked with a smile: "Sir, what did those two villains do?"
Seeing the man's unhappy face, Gao's father quickly explained: "I have no friendship with them, and I hate their tyranny, so I call them villains. But if we catch them, we will sentence them and then let them go after beating them to death..."
"Then you don't have to worry ." The man who was stopped by Gao's father laughed and glanced at the three curious children behind Gao's father. He recognized who the Fourth Prince was at a glance - after all, Xiao Cheng was a little shy and Xiao Huasheng was too old, so the only child who dared to look him in the eye was naturally the one from the palace.
"These two guys bullied the market, robbed innocent people, and beat up innocent people... All the crimes they were charged with are enough to make them dig stones for the rest of their lives, even if they don't die. They will never be released to harm others again!"
Seeing that Gao's father and mother shuddered, he glanced meaningfully at the eldest brother of the Gao family who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and then said lightly: "Master Zhu said that before, we only dealt with corrupt officials and tyrants, and the next step is to punish these ignorant ruffians and villains. We have to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and chop off a bunch of heads!"
Not to mention Father Gao and Mother Gao, even the Fourth Prince, who knew Zhu Tingfang well, couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine . When the people disappeared from his sight, he didn't realize that it was Ah Liu who was among them identifying people, nor did he know that this was the person Xiao Cheng had called indirectly. He didn't speak to the two elders who were as silent as a cicada, but came to the eldest brother of the Gao family who was motionless on the ground and suddenly gave him another blow.
After making sure that the man had been knocked unconscious even if he woke up, he stood up and said to the two elders of the Gao family with a smile: "Uncle Gao, Aunt Gao, you saw it, I didn't lie to you! Xiao Gao's elder brother can go to Cangzhou, where he can be disciplined, learn skills, and avoid the limelight. In this way, Xiao Gao doesn't have to worry, right?"
Seeing that the last bit of hesitation and resistance of Gao's father and mother disappeared unconsciously, he really told them everything he knew, and in a moment he was completely tricked into telling them everything. The fourth prince was finally completely overjoyed. When he left the palace before, he even wanted to never go back out of spite, and then he missed his third brother, but now he has decided to do something good outside the palace first !
