Ji Feiyu stepped aside, ready to watch him make a fool of himself again. However, this time, Jingyun turned his head, nostrils flaring with anger, which made the man embarrassed and stop his hand that was about to pull the horse.
Some idle onlookers had gathered to watch the fun, but they quieted down under Jingyun's intimidation.
Sure enough, it was a fine horse! So imposing!
Seeing Jingyun's reaction, the man wanted to go over but didn't dare. He lingered for a long time. Finally, when Jingyun kicked his hoof backward, the man gave up his initial plan.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't ride it." He shouted loudly and walked back to his servants in a huff.
Ji Feiyu chuckled. "Are you really not going to ride it?"
The man looked embarrassed but tilted his head up, showing his big nostrils to Ji Feiyu. "I said I won't ride it, and I mean it."
Ji Feiyu couldn't help but find it funny. "Since that's the case, everyone has heard it. He said he won't ride it himself. This deal is done. Huahua, let's go."
After saying that, Ji Feiyu led Jingyun with one hand and pulled Huahudie with the other, and walked forward.
Only then did the man realize that Ji Feiyu didn't intend to return the money to him. He got anxious immediately. "Hey, how can you be like this? I didn't ride your horse. How can you take my money?"
Ji Feiyu immediately said in an innocent voice, "That's right. I said it would cost five hundred taels for a ride. You've already ridden it. You just fell off. So I wanted to give you a second chance and asked if you still wanted to ride. You said no. What can I do?"
Hearing this, the man got angry. "You!"
"What about me?" Ji Feiyu looked nonchalant and blocked all the words he wanted to say. "Don't think I'm being unreasonable. This is just a deal. Only if you ride it away successfully can I give it to you. The fact is that you're not capable enough..."
These words were highly insulting. The man stammered for a long time. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at his servants behind him, "Damn it! I've seen scoundrels, but never one more shameless than me. Come on, all of you, attack!"
Hey, this is right! This is more in line with the image of a bully. Why did he pretend to be a connoisseur of horses before... She exchanged a glance with Huahudie and rushed forward to fight. She had been itching to do so!
Who was afraid of a fight? She was just afraid that he wouldn't make the first move. No matter how many thugs he brought, they were all just mediocre fighters. Ji Feiyu and Huahudie could handle them easily.
Ji Feiyu originally didn't want to ride a horse in the bustling market for fear of causing trouble. However, because of this horse, the busiest street in Miyun was now in chaos.
"Make way, make way! What's going on here?" A group of yamen runners rushed over. It seemed that there were still people to manage the brawls.
Ji Feiyu was enjoying beating people. When she noticed someone pulling her, she was pressing the big - faced bully to the ground and rubbing his face. The big - faced bully was crying and wailing miserably. At the same time, Huahudie had also knocked down several servants.
"A bunch of hooligans! How dare you fight in the bustling market! Arrest them all!" The official on the tall horse said angrily. He glared with a certain majesty. Hearing this, Ji Feiyu looked up and stopped. But after standing up, she couldn't help but kick the big - faced bully on the ground hard.
"Still not listening! Come on, take them all back!" The man on the horse glared at Ji Feiyu and shouted sternly.
Seeing this, the big - faced bully immediately crawled up and hugged the official's leg. "My lord, you must uphold justice for me. That woman cheated me out of my silver and let her horse trample on me. She's really hateful!"
Hearing this, Ji Feiyu got angry immediately. "Bold lecher! You molested a good - woman in public and now you're biting back. Everyone here can testify. My lord, you must uphold justice for me!"
The official on the horse frowned. Looking at the disheveled big - faced bully, he said, "She said you molested her. Is there such a thing?"
The big - faced bully immediately looked mournful. "My lord! I really didn't molest her! She really took my silver note. The silver note is in her sleeve right now. It's a full five hundred taels. My lord can search her to see if I'm telling the truth!"
The official on the horse then said, "He said there's a five - hundred - tael silver note in your sleeve. Is it true? Will you take it out yourself or do I have to send someone to search you?"
Seeing this, Ji Feiyu said, "There is indeed a five - hundred - tael silver note, but I didn't take it from him. He was willing to give it to me in order to ride my horse. He did ride the horse, but he had poor riding skills and fell off. Then he tried to extort money from me."
Hearing this, the official got angry. "Bold woman! How dare you deceive me! What kind of horse costs five hundred taels of silver for a ride? Come on, arrest her."
Ji Feiyu knew that he definitely wouldn't believe the truth. So she said, "My lord, don't be in a hurry. It was this man who took the initiative to talk to me today. As soon as he came up, he asked me to sell the horse to him. When he saw that I refused, he molested me. Finally, he insisted on riding my horse and asked me to name my price. After I named the price, he offered the money with both hands without any hesitation. Now he's accusing me of taking his money just because he fell off the horse when he got on. But how can this be my fault? Moreover, he was the one who started the fight just now. I dare not deceive you, my lord. All the on - looking villagers can testify to this."
"Is what she said true?" The official looked at the on - looking villagers. The villagers exchanged glances with each other and hesitated. None of them dared to step forward to testify.
This was really strange. Was this bully so terrifying that they still didn't dare to tell the truth even when the official was here? Ji Feiyu looked at the villagers strangely.
"Folks, you must tell the truth. If such a bully isn't eliminated, you won't have peace for a single day."
The big - faced bully immediately said, "You're slandering me! I'm a good citizen!"
Each side had their own reasons. The official felt a bit annoyed and said, "Since that's the case, come with me to the yamen to explain."
Ji Feiyu didn't want to go to the yamen. She said, "My lord, does such a small matter really need to be discussed in the yamen?"
Huahudie also said, "Yes, my lord." While saying this, he threw something at the official in a very casual manner.
The official took it doubtfully. "What is this? Do you want to bribe me?" But when he looked down at it, his face changed greatly. He felt that the thing was extremely hot - to - handle and couldn't hold it. "This... This is!"
Ji Feiyu looked at Huahudie strangely, as if asking what he had thrown to the official. Huahudie gave her a look that said "just wait and see the show" and then called a yamen runner. He whispered a few words to him and asked him to pass a message to the official.
After hearing the yamen runner's message, the official couldn't keep his composure anymore. He glared angrily at the big - faced bully and said, "You arrogant bully! How dare you molest a good - woman in the bustling market, fight and cause trouble, and threaten good citizens not to testify. You're really extremely guilty. Arrest him immediately and take him back for a good interrogation!"
The big - faced bully was shocked to see the official suddenly change his attitude. He shouted, "My lord, I'm wronged! I'm really wronged!"
But the official gave him a fierce look and ordered his men to drag him away.
