Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"Snapped!"

Brother Biao raised his hand and slapped him again, his face full of ferocity and he said:

"Because of you, I lost five of my brothers at once and have to hide from place to place all day. Who else can I find if not you?"

Yi Zhonghai said in a stern tone, "Brother Biao, according to the rules of the underworld, you have to take money from others to help them get rid of disasters. I paid you, but not only did you fail to do the job, you also caused me to be investigated by the police. How dare you blame me?"

"Brother Biao, you must be trustworthy. If you act like this, how can you survive in the underworld in the future?"

"Snapped!"

Brother Biao raised his hand and slapped him again, angrily saying: "I can't even stay in the capital anymore, so why should I stand on my own feet?"

"Besides, we are just a bunch of hooligans. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you are talking about credibility with us?"

"I'm giving you two choices now. First, give us one thousand yuan, and the three of us will leave the capital overnight, and from now on, we will no longer have any grudges and no one will know each other."

"Second, we will cut off one of your arms and one of your legs, and send a report letter to the police station, detailing how you hired someone to hurt someone."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he trembled all over. He cursed these people in his heart for being unethical. Not only did they fail to get the job done, but they also extorted one thousand yuan from him.

But when he thought that the other party was a desperado who not only wanted to cut off his hands and feet but also wanted to send a letter of denunciation to the police station, he couldn't help but feel afraid.

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his fear and pretended to be angry, saying, "I didn't know people well enough and trusted the wrong person. I admit my defeat this time."

"I can give you money, but I can't even raise one thousand yuan even if I sell everything I have. The most I can give you is two hundred yuan."

Brother Biao said coldly, "Two hundred yuan, how can you give it to a beggar? Brothers, keep beating him up."

Yi Zhonghai said with a determined look on his face: "Three hundred yuan at most. If you are still not satisfied, I would rather be beaten to death by you."

"You are looking for death!"

Faced with intimidation, Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes with an expression as if he was ready to die.

Yi Zhonghai thought that he could make Brother Biao and his group compromise, but Brother Biao refused to accept the challenge and said harshly:

"You want to die, right? Then I'll grant your wish. Beat me to death."

"Crackling..."

Yi Zhonghai clenched his teeth and made no sound, indicating that he would fight to the end.

Seeing this, Brother Biao sneered and said, "This old guy feels like you are tickling him, hit him with a stick."

Yi Zhonghai was horrified and shouted, "Five hundred!"

Brother Biao smiled and said, "You have to keep your word when you're out there. If you say one thousand, it means one thousand."

"Six hundred!"

"one thousand!"

"Eight hundred!"

"one thousand!"

"One thousand is one thousand, I agree, woo woo..."

"Wow... You guys are so abominable. How dare you bully an old man like me like this."

"Ha ha…"

Yi Zhonghai's crying not only failed to attract sympathy from Brother Biao and the other two, but instead made them burst into laughter.

Only then did Yi Zhonghai realize what kind of people he had gotten into trouble with. These people had no morals or conscience, were cruel and ruthless, and were extremely vicious.

Brother Biao laughed and said, "What are you two bastards still doing? Why don't you untie our sponsor?"

"Okay!"

The two thugs turned into lackeys and carefully untied Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was free from his restraints and stood up tremblingly, looking at Brother Biao with eyes full of resentment.

Brother Biao was unmoved and said with a smile: "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, send me the money tomorrow. You don't want us to stay in Beijing for too long, right?"

"understood!"

Yi Zhonghai said this with gritted teeth, then limped out of the yard.

"Yi Zhonghai, I advise you not to play tricks. If something happens to us, your crime of hiring someone to hurt someone will definitely be exposed."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai paused slightly. He sadly discovered that he had no choice but to accept the blackmail from Brother Biao and his gang.

He didn't dare to call the police to arrest Brother Biao and his gang, because once Brother Biao and his gang were arrested, his crime of hiring a killer would be exposed and he would face imprisonment.

His heart bled at the thought of giving a thousand yuan to these bastards. He had saved up money for most of his life, half of which was taken away by Li Guifang. He also spent nearly a thousand yuan to marry Qin Huairu, and now he had very little savings left.

If he is blackmailed by Brother Biao again, most of his life savings will be gone.

No matter how heartbroken he was, he had to pay the thousand yuan because he didn't want to lose his limbs, and he didn't want to go to jail.

Now he just wanted Brother Biao and his gang to take the money and run away. This group of people was simply his nightmare, and he never wanted to see them again in his life.

"I will deliver the money on time tomorrow at noon. After you get the money, you must leave the capital as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, the police are searching for us all over the capital now. You don't need to tell us, we will leave the capital as soon as possible."

"Don't come looking for me again. If you push me too far, I will go to the police station and turn myself in. Anyway, I am too old and I don't have many years left to live."

"Old man, are you threatening us?"

"Just take it as a threat!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai didn't stop and limped home.

……

In the evening, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the tavern and met Niu Ye who was walking his bird on the way.

Niu Ye asked enthusiastically, "Zhu Zi, are you going to pick up Hui Zhen for night school again?"

He Yuzhu stopped his bike and responded politely, "Yes! Uncle Niu, the thrush in your cage is really beautiful."

Niu Ye smiled and said, "Not bad! Zhuzi, you may not know that you are famous in our alley."

He Yuzhu said modestly: "I am just a poor cook, how can I become famous?"

Niu Ye explained: "Zhu Zi, your story of fighting five hooligans alone and crippling them has spread all over Qianmen Street. You are now a hero respected by everyone in our area."

"Before, there were some reckless hooligans wandering around the tavern, but since your deeds spread, these hooligans have disappeared without a trace."

He Yuzhu sighed and said, "People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. Being famous is not always a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Master Niu narrowed his eyes and praised:

"Zhu Zi, I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, could have such an understanding."

"But you don't have to worry. We don't cause trouble, but we are afraid of it. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me directly. I still have some face in this area."

"Thank you, Master Niu. With Master Niu's protection, I, He Yuzhu, will not be afraid of anyone!" He Yuzhu said with a hint of flattery.

Xu Huizhen had told him that Master Niu was a genuine Manchu noble with amazing connections, and with him protecting him, ordinary people would be unable to do anything to him.

Upon hearing this, Master Niu was happy in his heart, but he complained:

"Zhu Zi, please stop talking like that. It makes me sound like a local tyrant. It would be bad if others heard it."

"Zhu Zi, we can talk later. Go pick up Hui Zhen first, or you'll be late for night school."

"Okay, I'll go have a drink with you, Master Niu, when I have time!"
