Chapter 9: Robbery

  Zhao Ping came with a sword and a knife, his momentum was overwhelming. Who would have thought that in just a short while, he would flee in disarray like a dog who had lost its home? This made Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Hei Bo and Mo Er extremely happy, only Zhang Da Zui laughed with joy.

  "Haha! Wonderful! Really wonderful!"

  A burst of hearty laughter erupted, though there were few people, it had a momentum that pierced through the sky.

  Since the outbreak of the Changping War, Qin Yiren has been under house arrest, suffering all kinds of humiliation and torture, spending three years in darkness without a glimmer of hope, living in constant fear and being bullied at every turn.

  Moreover, these bullying mainly came from Zhao Ping and those red-clad minor officials. Meng Zhao and others hated Zhao Ping and his ilk to the core, and even in their dreams they wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge. It's just that the situation was unfavorable, and they had not been able to do so yet.

  Now, Zhao Ping and his men have suffered a great loss, fleeing like dogs with their tails between their legs. Meng Zhao and his men are exhilarated, beaming with joy, their faces radiant with delight.

  "Chase!"

  This is a good opportunity to beat the fallen dog, Qin Yiren will not miss it, with a wave of his hand, Sa Zhazi chased after him.

  "Don't let Zhao Dog escape!" Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong shouted in unison, chasing after him to the end.

  "Zhao Gou, don't run!" Hei Bo's spirit was high, he shook his head and chased after him like a rabbit.

  "Zhao Gou, you dare to have ideas about me? I won't let you off!" Zhao Ping had indeed been having ideas about Mei Er, wanting to buy her out and then repackage her for a big profit. This made Mei Er very resentful, and now with both old and new grievances surfacing at once, how could she not be angry?

  Qin Yiren and his group were in a fierce and menacing mood, with an air of wanting to avenge the humiliation they had suffered three times. If they fell into Qin Yiren's hands, the consequences would be dire, and they would not survive without losing their skin.

  Zhao Ping and the others, although their eyes were filled with rice-cooking ash and they couldn't see a thing, even using their heels could think of the consequences being too frightening, so they used all their might to run away.

  Fortunately, their physical fitness was much better than Qin Yiren's, and they ran very fast.

  Moreover, they are very familiar with this place, even if they can't see anything, it doesn't affect their running. Qin Yiren and the others chased after them fiercely, but couldn't catch up. Soon, Zhao Ping and the others escaped to outside the courtyard.

  "Quickly, shut the door! Lock it." Zhao Ping yelled loudly.

  A group of red-clad minor officials were busy and flustered, feeling their way to close the large gate, then locked it with a lock. Only after leaning against the door panel did they breathe heavily, secretly calling themselves lucky.

  If it weren't for Qin Yi Ren and the others having such poor physical conditions, Zhao Ping and the others would have had no way to escape, they were able to narrowly escape, truly a stroke of luck.

  "Zhao Gou, open the door! Open it if you have the guts!" Meng Zhao was the first to rush to the gate and bellowed loudly, like thunder.

  "Only a fool would open the door!" Zhao Ping retorted from outside the door.

  How can it sound like Qin Yiren's words?

  "Bang!" Meng Zhao fiercely punched the door panel, producing a loud noise, but the door panel didn't budge.

  Ma Ge and Fan Tong seemed to be unaware of the pain, their fists flying like windmills, fiercely pounding against the door panel, but it was all in vain.

  "Bring me a stone slab and smash it open." Qin Yiren would not let this opportunity slip away, deciding to force the door open.

  "Yes!" He Bo, Miao Er, Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong responded in unison, rushing to find stones.

  After a great deal of effort by five people, they finally found a stone slab weighing about 40-50 kilograms and carried it over to slam against the door panel.

  "Boom!" A loud noise came, and except for a little white mark on the door panel, nothing was left.

  This is a pear wood door, very thick and solid, no matter how hard Qin Yi and others hit it, they can't break it open.

  At first, Zhao Ping and others were worried that the gate would not be thick enough to withstand being smashed open. Later, they felt at ease. As long as Qin Yi and others could not come out, Zhao Ping and others had nothing to fear, and they couldn't help but show off their spirit, shouting loudly at the gate: "Tiger wolf Qin people, if you have the guts, come out and fight to the death!"

  "Zhao Dog, come on in if you dare!" Meng Zhao and the others shouted back loudly.

  The two sides are like this, separated by a door, one calling you to come in and the other calling you to go out, neither giving way to the other, like a tug-of-war, the more they call, the more energetic they become.

  After struggling for a while, with no progress, Qin Yiren had no choice but to give up.

  "Zhao dog, you're lucky. Qin Yiren shouted outside the door and was about to go back to sleep. After being tossed around for half a day, he was hungry again and had no energy left, so he could only sleep."

  "What are you looking at?" Qin Yiren found Meng Zhao staring randomly at a room.

  "Sir, this is Zhao Ping's residence. I'm looking for something to eat." Meng Zhao also felt hungry.

  "Smash it open!" Qin Yiren's eyes shone brightly, like a green-headed fly seeing rotten eggs, and he let out a sharp cry.

  "Master, isn't this bad?" Magai hesitated.

  "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Qin Yiren said coldly, "How much of our goods did Zhao Dog rob from us? We just robbed him back, what can he do? Give me a smash, smash it open, and take everything that can be taken, don't leave anything behind."

  For the third time, Qin Yiren's property fell into the hands of Zhao Ping and others, and Meng Zhao no longer hesitated. He picked up a stone slab and smashed it against the door. With a loud crash, the door panel flew open.

  Qin Yi's movements were extremely quick and agile, like a rabbit darting in. His eyes widened as he took in the familiar objects around him, all of which belonged to him.

  "This brocade is mine! My brocade quilt and brocade mattress are also mine! And these soft-soled brocade boots are also mine......" Qin Yiren was taken aback for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "Move everything back! Move it all back!"

  It's already winter now, Qin Yiren and the others are still wearing single-layer clothes, not to mention they don't even have quilts to keep warm, these are all urgent needs, can't be missed.

  "Damn Zhao!" Meng Zhao and the others cursed loudly, but their hands and feet didn't slow down one bit. They searched thoroughly, like a dog licking its fur, leaving not a single hair behind.

  After ransacking this room, they went on to search another one, and found some clothes and quilts, which solved the problem of keeping warm.

  What delighted Qin Yiren and his men the most was that there were still three days' worth of food, with wine and meat. This was tremendous good news for Qin Yiren and his men who were suffering from extreme hunger.

  For someone who has been hungry for three days, it's not just a matter of having food for three days, even if it's only enough for one meal, it's the greatest joy; it's not just about having wine and meat, even if it's just enough to fill their belly, it's like a heavenly day.

  "Haha! You're still so clever, young master!"

  Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Hei Bo and Mo Er laughed with their mouths wide open, constantly praising Qin Yi Ren.

  "That useless piece of trash knew there was food in the yard but didn't dare to take it." Qin Yiren looked down on his predecessor in his heart.

  Back in the house, everyone was busy running around, busy cooking meat and warming wine, preparing to have a big feast. After a flurry of activity, the wine and meat were finally ready, and they sat down together, ready to eat their fill, but it turned out that no one moved their chopsticks.

  "Waaah!"

  Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong, Hei Bo and Miao Er burst into tears.

  For three years, how much hatred they had, how much pain, how much grievance, how much suffering, how much hardship... No one can say clearly. Suddenly, from hell to heaven, they were overjoyed.

  Qin Yi's eyes were also filled with tears of regret and emotion.

  After this incident, Zhao Ping and others no longer dared to be arrogant in front of Qin Yiren and others, and they had to take a detour when they met.

  Qin Yiren and his gang would occasionally tease them: waving their right fists, they would loudly shout at Zhao Ping and the others "Zhao dog, look over here!" Zhao Ping and the others would then lower their heads, quickly walking away, not even daring to fart.

  It's just like Meng Er did, they didn't dare make a sound either.
