This year, Yu Cheng accompanied his father to Kaifeng Mansion to do cloth business. The servants at home drove the carriage and pulled the goods, Yu Cheng and his father traveled side by horse, all the way to Xiaoxing overnight, and arrived outside Kaifeng Mansion on this day.
Yu Cheng is not only here to help with business, but also wants to see the legendary prosperous Kaifeng City.
When they passed by the Bao Gong Temple outside the city, their father was going to pay homage to Bao Gong, who had been admired for a long time, and as soon as they parked the carriage outside the Bao Gong Temple, Yu Cheng heard a terrible cry.
The cry came from a woman dressed in coarse cloth, who knelt in front of the Bao Gong Temple, folded her hands, burst into tears, and muttered to herself, begging Bao Gong to make decisions for her. Yu Cheng was curious and stepped forward to ask why.
The woman lifted her tear-stained face and choked up about what had happened to her. The woman's surname is Wen, her son's name is Cheng Er, Cheng Er's father has passed away a long time ago, and Cheng Er makes a living by selling melons and fruits on the streets of Kaifeng. A few days ago, Zhou Yanei walked through the market with a group of entourage, and the hawkers avoided it one after another. Cheng Er panicked for a while, and when he pushed the car to avoid, the car overturned, and the melons and fruits rolling all over the ground just blocked Zhou Yanei's way.
Zhou Yanei said that her son was deliberately finding fault and ordered his subordinates to beat him severely. This Cheng Er was already weak and baffled, how could he withstand the group beating of these thugs? He was beaten to death after a while. She said that she had gone to the government many times to complain, but the government ignored it. In desperation, she could only come to ask Bao Gong to appear and avenge her.
After listening to the woman's cry, Yu Cheng felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of his head. He was young and vigorous, and he could not see such oppression of the people. He asked the woman to follow him, and after he had settled his father, he took him to Zhou Yanei for comment.
After entering the city, Yu Cheng found an inn, settled his father, and said that he was going to do something, and his father advised him not to be nosy, Yu Cheng was willing to listen, so he turned around and went with the woman.
Yu Cheng asked the Wen family to take him to Zhou Yamen's house, but the woman was afraid of the power of the Zhou family, so she cowered and did not dare to go. Yu Cheng decided to go it alone. He first came to Wen's house, and when he saw that her house was surrounded by walls, Wen cried and said that in order to fight a lawsuit for her son, she sold all the things in the house.
Yu Cheng asked Zhou Yanei's address, and went straight to Zhou's mansion, Zhou's mansion was in the most prosperous Huaishu Hutong in Kaifeng Mansion, he found a window seat in a tavern opposite Zhou's mansion and sat down, waiting for Zhou Yanei's appearance.
Yu Cheng waited in the tavern for two whole days, in the tavern, he heard more rumors about Zhou Yanei's evil deeds, this Zhou Yanei not only ran rampant, but also bullied men and women, if there was a girl on the street who took a fancy to someone, he would snatch it back, if the woman did not obey, he would be beaten to death, and then thrown to the mass grave outside the city, if the rich daughters of the family were robbed by him, take a few money to redeem people, but they were inevitably defiled by Zhou Yanei. Those children from poor families can only resign themselves to fate, either become the playthings of Zhou Yan, or be beaten to death by him. Zhou Yanei walked around the street, he had to give way immediately, and if someone obstructed his walking, he immediately instructed the thugs to clear the way, and I don't know how many people were injured by him. Because his father is the dignified prefect of Kaifeng, no one can do anything like this Zhou Ya. Over time, this Zhou Yanei became even more arrogant. Listening to others say this, Yu Cheng's determination to eliminate harm for the people was strengthened, and he decided to teach this little bully a good lesson.
Finally, in the afternoon of the third day, he saw Zhou Yanei swaggering out of the mansion gate, followed by more than a dozen slave thugs.
Seeing this, Yu Cheng quietly followed up, in order not to alarm the people in the Zhou Mansion, he followed Zhou Yanei until it was far away from the Zhou Mansion, and only then hurried a few steps and shouted: "Zhou Gongzi, please wait a moment." ”
Zhou Yanei stopped, turned around, saw a strange man in front of him, and asked, "Who are you?"
Yu Cheng said: "The villain's surname is Cheng, do you know the Cheng Er who was killed by you a few days ago?"
When Zhou Yanei heard this, he immediately glared: "Who are you from Cheng Er?"
"I am his brother Cheng San, doing business abroad, I came back the day before yesterday, I heard that my eldest brother was killed by you, and today I am here to find justice. ”
Zhou Yanei sneered: "How do you kid want to find justice? Can you beat more than ten of me alone?"
Yu Cheng said: "Of course, I don't want to do it, it's not good for anyone, if you can compensate my eldest brother's life, this matter will be over." ”
Zhou Yanei smiled and said, "How much is your eldest brother's life worth?"
"It's not much, just take out five thousand taels of silver!" Yu Cheng stretched out five fingers.
"Haha, your brother's life is so valuable? Your brother's life is not as valuable as my fart!"
The surrounding servants laughed.
Yu Cheng was furious, jumped up and punched Zhou Yanei.
This week, Yanei has also practiced the style, unambiguously, and as soon as he turned his body, he avoided Yu Cheng's punch.
The two of them fisted back and forth, fought in one place, and dismantled more than a dozen moves, and Zhou Yanei was in a hurry and couldn't parry.
Zhou Yanei shouted: "Let's go together!"
All the slaves Hula came up and threw out their fists and feet. Yu Cheng got up and shouted, "It's good!" and unleashed the Iron Buddha Fist, causing the slaves to roll all over the ground.
In a matter of moments, a large area of the ground was lying down. Zhou Yanei had to pull out two shiny daggers from his trouser legs, which were the self-defense weapons he carried with him, and they were easily not shown.
"The surname is Cheng, the master wants your life today!"
Two daggers and a double dragon came out of the hole and went straight to Yu Cheng's heart.
Yu Cheng was in a sturdy shape, and an iron plate bridge avoided the dagger, and at the same time raised one leg and kicked on Zhou Ya's inner socket.
Zhou Yanei was kicked into the air and flew out of the air, and when he landed, his head hit a stone on the side of the road.
The incident happened suddenly, Yu Cheng was stunned, he didn't want to beat Zhou Yanei to death, he just wanted to force him to compensate Wen for a few dollars. He realizes that he has caused a catastrophe and must flee the scene immediately.
He hurried back to the inn, found his father, who was talking about business, and gave a brief account of what had happened. When Yu's father heard that his son had suffered such a catastrophe, his face turned pale with fright. But at this point, he also knew that escaping was not the way to go. So, he quickly packed his luggage and fled out of the city with Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng and his father didn't dare to stay on the road, so they hurried overnight and ran back to Cangzhou in one go.
Yu Cheng knew that the government would not let him go, so he hurriedly packed up the gold and silver with his father and prepared to flee elsewhere.
The two were cleaning up, and they heard the voices of people outside, only to hear someone shouting: "Don't let the criminals escape!"
The father and son were shocked, Yu Cheng didn't expect the officers and soldiers to chase him to his house so soon.
Yu Cheng said to his father: "Dad, you jump out of the window from the back and go first, and I will call the officers and soldiers here." ”
Father Yu's legs were already weak at this time, and he fell to the ground with a stumble, and the gold and silver in his hand were scattered softly on the ground.
With a "bang", the door of the house was kicked open, and several officers and soldiers who were like wolves and tigers broke in, and a leader of the officers and soldiers said: "Yu Cheng! You can't leave, if you want to live, obediently be bound, the prefect of this state has a word, arrest the rebels and correct the law on the spot!"
There were two officers and soldiers with guns in their hands, blocking Yu's father's back road.
Yu Cheng did not resist, for the sake of his father's safety, he chose to be restrained.
The officers and soldiers tied up the father and son and escorted them to the Cangzhou prefect.
