Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Thirty thousand taels, where do I get that much silver?" Wei Xiaobao said.

"Thirty thousand taels, not a penny less. If you don't pay, I will kill this shopkeeper first." Master Wang threatened.

Shuang'er walked forward and said angrily, "If you dare to hurt Shopkeeper Qin, I will kill you immediately."

The yamen runners of the prefectural government surrounded the bakery, thirty percent inside and thirty percent outside. There were more than twenty yamen runners in the shop, surrounding Shuang'er and Wei Xiaobao in the middle.

The two sides were in a tense stalemate, and neither side was willing to give in.

"boom"

A huge roar was heard and the earth began to shake.

"What's going on?" asked Master Wang.

The people in the room looked at each other, but no one answered.

"Why don't you go and check it out quickly?" Master Wang said again.

After a while, a yamen runner ran in from outside and said, "Master, something terrible has happened."

"What's the big deal? Tell me in detail."

"Master, the Japanese have sent troops to attack the city, and the prefect wants you to go back immediately." The bailiff said anxiously.

"The Japanese will take Shuri Castle sooner or later. Why are you in such a hurry? There's nothing strange about this." After hearing this, Master Wang blurted out these words slowly.

Wei Xiaobao, who was standing by, was very surprised when he heard this. It seemed that Master Wang was what later generations called a die-hard traitor.

"Traitor and scum!" Wei Xiaobao said angrily.

"Haha, I forgot that there is a hero here who defeated the Japanese. What? Do you think you can get less tribute just because the Japanese attack the city?" Master Wu stared at Wei Xiaobao and said.

"Mr. Wei, I advise you to take out the silver as soon as possible. The Japanese are attacking the city. No one will care if a few people die in the city. If you don't take out the silver, we will have to take action." Captain Liu said in a domineering manner.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

At this time, the roar in the distance became louder and louder.

Many residents of Shuri Castle gathered outside the bakery. After hearing the roar, they knew that the Japanese were attacking the city. They were at a loss and came to the anti-Japanese hero Wei Gongzi, hoping that he could protect them.

However, when they arrived at the bakery, they found that these yamen runners were not guarding the city, but were surrounding Master Wei to ask for silver as a tribute.

It would be fine if these yamen runners acted arrogantly on normal days, but today the Japanese dispatched troops to attack the city, but instead of helping the Ryukyu army to defend the city, they are still here to cause trouble to the locals.

"It's ok that these runners and officials usually cause trouble to us, but now they dare to harm the great hero Wei."

"Yes, instead of defending the city, they are extorting money here."

"We can't just watch them bully Wei Yingxiong."

"Yes, we still need great heroes to lead us to fight against the Japanese."

"We must teach these bailiffs a lesson."

More and more people gathered outside the bakery. They lined up and held hands as they began to flock towards the yamen runners.

In a short while, thousands of people gathered on the street. Captain Liu looked out the window at the growing crowd, and he felt very nervous. He looked at Master Wang anxiously.

After someone outside shouted "Wei Yingxiong", the crowd began to cheer...

"Wei Hero"

"Wei Hero"

……

The story of Wei Xiaobao blocking the firearm bullets with his body and not getting hurt when Shuang'er was fighting with the Japanese warrior Liuye Junbei the day before had already spread throughout Shuri Castle. Wei Yingxiong was an extraordinary genius who was invulnerable to swords and guns, and the savior of Shuri Castle!

The people crowded in front of the bakery found that Wei Yingxiong was surrounded by yamen runners. Although they didn't understand why, they felt that Wei Yingxiong must be in danger, so the crowd rushed towards the bakery frantically. The yamen runners outside formed a human wall, and the hundred or so yamen runners were obviously not enough in the crowd of thousands of people.

So in less than a quarter of an hour, the yamen runners outside the shop were dispersed by the crowd.

Inside the house, Wei Xiaobao looked at Master Wang with a smile, but Master Wang was now like an ant on hot pot, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

"Are you going to pay the tribute or not?" Master Wang shouted hysterically.

"Giving money as a tribute, you are so stupid that you can't even think of it. The Japanese are about to attack the city, and you are still thinking of giving money as a tribute." Wei Xiaobao looked at Master Wang and said with a smile:

"You want to eat black money? To be honest with you, I am the ancestor of eating black money..."

When Shuang'er heard what Xiaobao said, she nodded in agreement. However, the shopkeeper Qin, who was tied to a pillar, had a gloomy face, thinking to himself, what kind of person is the boss? He is an ancestor who takes money by cheating.

"Aren't you afraid that I will tie you up?" Master Wang stared at Wei Xiaobao and threatened.

"You can try it." Wei Xiaobao replied with a smile.

Shuang'er on the side naturally stepped forward to stand in front of Wei Xiaobao, holding the Biqing sword in her hand and looking at the twenty or so yamen runners in the house. She was not frightened at all, and seemed very confident in dealing with these yamen runners in the house.

When Attorney Wang saw Shuang'er's domineering look, then looked at the noisy mob outside the house, and then looked at the hundred or so yamen runners outside the house who were nowhere to be seen, like eggplants hit by frost, he suddenly felt guilty and lost his concentration.

Captain Liu anxiously asked Master Wang, "Master, are you still going to arrest him?"

"What the hell are you doing? Can't you see the Japanese are attacking the city? Retreat, retreat back to the prefectural government office." Lord Wang seemed to have forgotten his previous arrogance and domineering behavior. He found a way out for himself and prepared to withdraw his men.

At this time, the yamen runners who were dispersed by the crowd outside the house had already fled far away. Blocking the door of the bakery was a black mass of people, all of whom had angry expressions.

"Make way, make way, please give me a way..." Captain Liu kept shouting.

These yamen runners wanted to retreat, but the angry crowd blocked the door tightly, thinking that Captain Liu was talking nonsense and no one gave way to them.

Master Wang looked at Wei Xiaobao with a pleading look.

Wei Xiaobao turned his face away and pretended not to see it.

Master Wang said helplessly to Wei Xiaobao: "Master Wei, can you please let these people make way? We have to go back to the patrol office to prepare to defend the city. We can't delay!"

After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao walked out from behind Shuang'er with a sinister smile and said, "Haha, you remember to defend the city now. I think they don't need people like you. Just stay here and wait for everyone's anger!"

As soon as Wei Xiaobao finished speaking, the people blocking the door took over the topic and started talking at once:

"These bailiffs are really bad, let's punish them today..."

"It's time to teach them a lesson..."

"If you dare to mess with Wei Yingxiong, you will die in the underworld..."

… …

These words were like Cui Mingfu, and Master Wang and the yamen runners were terrified. They knew that the Japanese were attacking the city, and there must be chaos inside, so killing a few people was nothing.

Master Wang knew the rumors about Wei Yingxiong in the city. This man, who was praised as invulnerable to swords and guns, was the key to whether he could safely escape from the dangerous place where he was besieged by rioters.

So Master Wang shamelessly said to Wei Xiaobao, "Wei Yingxiong, I don't want this filial tribute money anymore. Please inform everyone and make way for me."

When Xiaobao heard this, he thought to himself that Master Wang had become more respectful in addressing him, and even added a "please". Hehe, is he being cowardly?

"Haha, I can let you go, but you have to pay some toll." Wei Xiaobao said with a smirk.
