Chapter 49: Flat People

  Gu Bai Chuan saw the situation with Zhong Jin Wei and knew he was going to intervene. The people from the East Factory were never afraid of trouble, previously they just considered Zhong Jin Wei's thoughts, several times quarreling and affecting the drinking, early on didn't want to tolerate it, now naturally there was nothing to say.

  However, Gu Baihe still reached out to stop Zhong Jinwei. Zhong Jinwei looked at him in confusion.

  "You just watch, young master, I'll go teach them a lesson."

  Zhong Jinwei saw him say this and wanted to see how he would do it.

  At the entrance of the next room, a man who looked like a house servant was standing guard. Seeing the attitude of several people on this side, he knew that something might happen, so he stood up from his stool to respond.

  Only to see Gu Baihe walk up to the house servant and point at his nose, saying: "The debt you owed me that day has not been repaid, avoiding me and hiding here. I see where else can you run?" After finishing speaking, he threw a punch.

  That Ding listened to him speaking and thought he had mistaken him for someone else. Just as he was about to explain, a fist arrived.

  Gu Baihe used his clever strength, punching this person's body, the punch was not heavy, but it sent the person tumbling into the room.

  Gu Baihe took advantage of the situation and chased after them, while Zhong Jinwei and others followed closely behind, with Aqi walking at the very back.

  That person was dragged in by the door curtain, making a loud noise, and immediately attracted the attention of the people inside, stopping their movements and turning to look at the door.

  Gu Bai Chuan rushed forward and took a quick glance around, didn't find anyone that needed special attention, then went back to kick the poor devil.

  Zhong Jinwei followed him in and saw that inside, there were three young men who looked like spoiled rich kids, with four or five wine jars on the table. Two of them were still drinking, while one had left the table, holding a whip and personally flogging three poorly dressed young women. The thin clothes of the three women had been whipped into strips, and they had lost quite a bit of blood; it was likely that the whip had reverse spikes or something similar to produce this effect. Several house servants stood around the edges, clapping their hands to cheer on their master.

  At this time, seeing the scene at the door, the three family servants knew that the visitor was not good and did not wait for their master's orders. They formed a fan shape and surrounded them.

  Wang Peng took a step forward and stood in front of Zhong Jinwei.

  Gu Bai Chuan pretended not to see the commotion in the room, and instead kicked the fallen house servant, muttering: "You owe me money, you owe me money."

  That young man who was hitting the woman was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "What's going on? Who has eaten the gall of a leopard and dares to hit my person?"

  "Didn't you hear what I said? You dare not to pay back the debt you owe me. I'll beat you to death." Gu Bai Chuan said as he used his heavy hand, knowing that a fight was inevitable and with more people on the other side, he decided to take one down first. He directly kicked the person's leg and broke it.

  That man was yelling like a slaughtered pig while crying to his master: "Master, save me! I don't know this person and have never owed him any gambling debt!"

  At this time, Aqi stood beside Zhong Jinwei and whispered to him: "Young master, those three girls are so pitiful. Judging from their clothes, they seem to be from a good family. I don't know how they were caught by them and suffered such a fate."

  Zhong Jinwei hasn't responded yet, and the young man holding the whip on the other side saw Archie, his eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the family servant who was crying on the ground. He showed a smile that asked for a beating: "Ah, this girl is so beautiful, come here, let my master touch you, serve him comfortably, and I'll reward you with silver coins later. My master has a lot of silver coins."

  The two at the wine table also stood up and chimed in.

  Zhong Jinwei was already annoyed when he came in, and seeing the scene in the room made him even more indignant. He had never seen anyone treat a woman like this before. At this time, the other party also spoke to tease Aqi. Without saying a word, he turned around and kicked the stool where the unlucky ghost was sitting at the door, and rushed inside.

  The three family members who came around also let go of their hands and feet, ready to fight.

  An Guiyi immediately shielded Arqi behind him and retreated to one side, while Wang Peng went forward to meet them.

  What a King Peng, he went up first and made a false move to the farthest one on his left, then shrunk his body to the right, crouched down, and kicked out with a sweeping leg. "Pata" two sounds, directly knocked down the two who rushed up from the right side. At this time, the one on the left discovered that he had been deceived and rushed over again, his face was punched by King Peng, who was already prepared, and fell to the ground. In just a minute, three people were defeated cleanly and neatly.

  Zhong Jinwei kicked the stool, and just as he rushed forward, he found that several people had fallen to the ground. He was stunned for a moment, then saw that the most annoying one in front of him was still standing there, so he wanted to rush over and beat him up.

  Gu Baihe, who was standing aside, had calmed down and was watching Zhong Jinwei's stance, but didn't dare let him rush over. The man still held a specially-made leather whip in his hand, and if he wasn't careful, Zhong Jinwei would get whipped, which would be hard to explain.

  Then, an arrow step jumped in front of Zhong Jinwei, his right hand formed a palm, cutting towards the opponent's wrist holding the whip, the action was as fast as lightning.

  That man shifted his gaze from Archie to Wang Peng, and was then attracted by Zhong Jinwei, still on guard against Gu Baihe. The whip fell to the ground with a crack. Before he could even cry out in pain, he was kicked again and slammed into the wall behind him, shrinking down before finally reacting and starting to yell in pain.

  The two family servants who were knocked to the ground by Wang Peng earlier didn't suffer any injuries. Seeing the young master being beaten, they panicked and quickly got up, wanting to draw their swords.

  Wang Peng had long been paying attention, seeing this situation, he went forward and made another sweep of his leg, knocking them down again. Then, in one swift motion, he drew out two knives, one in each hand, and placed them directly on the necks of the two family guards.

  Those two family servants didn't dare to move again, their master's household was also a big family, so they knew a few characters. At this time, seeing the hilt of the knife in Wang Peng's hand with faintly visible words, and looking at the style of the knife, they were suddenly shocked: "East Factory!"

  The two people who were originally drinking and chatting also stood up, ready to join the fight, but after being shouted at by those two families, they were so scared that they didn't dare move.

  The prestige of the East Factory has been gone for two years, but the tiger's might is still there. They had also deeply experienced it before, and now they dare not move again.

  Zhong Jinwei didn't care about that much, felt the board in his hand was a bit heavy, saw the whip that had fallen to the ground, picked it up, rushed to the wall, and started hitting the person on the ground, saying: "Let you flirt with Ah Qi, let you hit women, let me not be happy..."

  That man hugged his head and desperately dodged, but still couldn't avoid it, so he frantically begged for mercy.

  The whip was also fair, the effect of hitting men and women was about the same, without any bias. Soon that person's clothes were also torn apart, and blood was seen.

  The two men at the wine table saw that the man had been beaten until he was bleeding, and although they did not dare to intervene, they also begged for mercy: "This young master, sir, please spare him, his father is the former commander of the Beijing garrison, Bao Ding Hou Liang Shiwen, don't you have any regard for his family background?"

  Zhong Jinwei was getting drunk and excited, although he wasn't completely intoxicated; secondly, the fight was intense and he hadn't heard clearly, so he just kept fighting.

  Gu Bai Chuan, who was standing beside him, had heard clearly and looked at Liang Gongzi again. If he continued to be beaten, he would probably have to be carried back. He stretched out his hand to persuade Zhong Jinwei and whispered in his ear: "This person is the son of Bao Ding Hou Liang Shi Huan, who was once the commander-in-chief of the Beijing garrison, and is still trusted by the emperor. If he were beaten to disability, it would be difficult to explain."

  Zhong Jinwei wasn't a street thug, he had always been a rule-abiding bookworm and office worker. If it weren't for that Liang Gongzi insulting Aqi and beating up women, even if he had drunk some wine, he wouldn't have gotten so agitated as to hit someone like this. However, after hitting him, Zhong Jinwei felt like there was still a hint of pleasure.

  Now that Gu Bai Chuan has been persuaded, he also stopped, threw the whip on Liang Gongzi's face and said: "Next time be more civilized with your mouth." Then patted his hands, turned around and prepared to leave.

  But just as I turned around, I saw the three women huddled together, shrinking into the corner of the wall. The blood on their bodies had stopped flowing, but because they were wearing thin clothes, they were shivering slightly.

  Zhong Jinwei couldn't help but get angry again, turned around and kicked twice: "How did your parents teach you? You can be so cruel to women and wear such little clothes."

  Liáng Gōngzǐ covered his head and said with a sorrowful face: "I just bought those few with one or two silver coins, such cheap goods, how can I give them good clothes? After playing with them for a while, it's all right to throw them away."

  Three young girls are worth only one or two silver coins? When did human life become so worthless! They're done playing and then discarded. This viewpoint is also unthinkable to Zhong Jinwei.

  This time it was another thrashing, but this time without using a whip. The others didn't dare move, just watching as Zhong Jinwei went into a rage.

  "Finished," Zhong Jinwei asked, "How can three big strong men only be worth one or two silver coins?"

  Gu Bai Chuan and others also found it strange, so cheap, doesn't make sense!
