Chapter 882: If you didn

"You're courting death!"

The Scar-faced man was instantly enraged; he let out a violent roar.

He truly hadn't expected that he, a dignified bandit leader, would one day be extorted on the street, and all because of a moment of kindness!

Is being a good person really that hard?

When Old Man Chu saw the Scar-faced man's man-eating expression, he couldn't help but feel a bit afraid. The customs of Da Qian were fierce, and he was also afraid the Scar-faced man might punch him to death.

That was why, when there was no one on Saddle Street, he hadn't dared to extort anyone at all. But here on Vermilion Bird Street, with people coming and going, it was much safer.

He steeled his heart and decided to take a gamble!

"Everyone, come and look! Not only did he knock this old man down, but he also wants to kill this old man in the street! Is there no justice, no heavenly principles left?"

Old Man Chu's cries grew increasingly miserable.

Soon, a large crowd of Da Qian commoners heard the noise and gathered around.

"What's going on?"

"Who dares to beat someone in the street?"

"Under the bright light of day, is there still someone so rampant?"

Many Da Qian commoners who loved to watch the excitement crowded around, which gave Old Man Chu a huge sense of security.

The Scar-faced man suppressed his murderous intent. He was confident he could punch Old Man Chu to death, but if he did that, his whole life would be ruined!

His wife, his concubines, and everything he had would all turn into bubbles, and he would have to return to that life of being an outlaw.

But what made him even more indignant was that he had clearly done a good deed!

Therefore, he suppressed his murderous intent and gritted his teeth, but his sandbag-sized fist ultimately did not fall.

"Fellow elders and neighbors, everyone, judge for yourselves. This old man fell down on his own. I kindly went to help him, brought him all the way to this pharmacy to see to his injuries, and never expected he would harbor evil intentions, turn around and bite back, and try to extort fifty taels from me!"

The Scar-faced man bowed to the surrounding commoners, speaking while suppressing his anger.

He believed that justice resided in people's hearts!

"Old man, is that really how it happened?"

Nearby, someone spoke up to Old Man Chu, but a pair of vigilant eyes remained fixed on the Scar-faced man.

Between a burly man with a face full of flesh and a scar, and an old man with no strength to truss a chicken, they were undoubtedly more inclined toward the latter.

Old Man Chu squeezed a few tears from the corners of his eyes and spoke to the crowd, "This person is full of lies. Today, I wanted to enter the city to sell some vegetables to support my family. When I walked to Saddle Street, I was knocked down by this person. My whole body hurts from the fall, and not only does this person refuse to admit it, but he even wanted to run away!"

"Where is the heavenly principle, where is the conscience!"

Upon hearing this, several looks of contempt appeared in the surroundings instantly.

These looks of contempt instantly made the Scar-faced man furious.

"Damn it!"

"It was clearly you who fell down yourself. I kindly helped you and brought you to see a doctor, and you actually turn around and bite back!"

"It truly infuriates me!"

The Scar-faced man's chest heaved; he was clearly not lightly angered.

Old Man Chu sneered and took out the one hundred wen the Scar-faced man had given him. "Is this not the one hundred wen you gave me?"

"Yes!"

"This was the money I kindly gave you for medical treatment. If I had known it would come to this, I might as well have fed it to the dogs!"

The Scar-faced man spat fiercely.

Old Man Chu spoke up, "Nonsense! This was clearly the money you used to compensate me after knocking me down!"

"You still want to quibble?"

The Scar-faced man's eyes widened; he clearly hadn't expected Old Man Chu to be so shameless.

He was trembling with anger.

The surrounding commoners who were watching the excitement couldn't sit still either, and they began to accuse the Scar-faced man one after another!

"For an old man of this age to be knocked down like this by him, this is outrageous! This one hundred wen isn't even enough for medical expenses; he is truly worse than a beast!"

"This person is not only born fierce, but also extremely shameless!"

"Everyone, surround him! On the streets of Changan, how can we allow him to act so fiercely?"

The Da Qian commoners were mostly hot-blooded, and there were scholars in the crowd who wanted to uphold justice, so they were immediately filled with righteous indignation and surrounded the Scar-faced man.

The Scar-faced man looked stunned; he hadn't expected this result at all.

His fists were clenched so tightly they creaked, and his face turned bright red.

It was clearly this person who was framing him, so why was everyone accusing him?

"If that's the case, then let's go report this to the officials!"

"I, Wu Guang, do not believe that in this vast world, there is no place to reason!"

Old Man Chu was dumbfounded. He just wanted to extort some money, so why were they going to report it to the officials?

But before he could speak, a helpful commoner nearby said, "Old man, don't be afraid. If we report it, we report it!"

"We will go with you!"

"Just do it!"

Old Man Chu thought to himself, since there was no proof anyway, as long as he insisted that it was Wu Guang who knocked him down, he wouldn't be afraid even if they went to the government office!

"Let's go then!"

"Today, if you don't pay fifty taels of silver, don't even think about leaving!"

Old Man Chu sneered and said to Wu Guang.

Soon, the two of them and a large crowd of commoners arrived at the Grand Court of Justice. Wu Guang struck the drum for the wronged directly, and the sound of the drum echoed far and wide!

"Majestic!"

"Majestic!"

"Who is below, and what is the complaint?"

At the Grand Court of Justice, Lin Hao struck the gavel and said loudly.

Immediately, Wu Guang poured out everything that had happened that morning like beans from a bamboo tube. Faced with such a matter, even he, a former bandit leader, felt that the world was unfair.

This stifling anger was too suffocating!

The colder Lin Hao's expression became as he listened.

"So, you are saying that not only did you not knock this old man down, but you kindly helped him to the pharmacy, helped him carry these two baskets of cabbage, and even gave him one hundred wen for free?"

"That is correct!"

Wu Guang stood straight; that was exactly how things were.

Lin Hao sneered, then suddenly struck the gavel in his hand.

Slap!

"Audacious!"

"Do you take this official for a fool?"

"Since you didn't knock him down, why did you help him to the pharmacy for treatment, waste your own time helping this old man carry vegetables, and even take the initiative to give him money?"

"You clearly have a guilty conscience!"

Lin Hao's voice was like thunder, booming through the hall.

Upon hearing this, Wu Guang's eyes widened.

Lin Hao's words buzzed in his mind.

"Since you didn't knock him down, why did you take him to the pharmacy for treatment?"

"Why did you give him money?" ===== CHAPTER 884 =====
