Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 456 Poor Couple

The sound was not only loud but also very unpleasant, and the tone of the person who spoke was even more unfriendly. Zhang Yu was eating zongzi in peace and quiet when such a sound suddenly came out, which almost scared her. She could not eat the zongzi that was in her mouth anymore.

When Liu He saw that Zhang Yu's interest was disturbed, his face suddenly turned pale.

Seeing his expression suddenly change, Zhang Yu was afraid that he was going to cause trouble, so she reached under the table and grabbed Liu He's hand.

"Husband, let's take a look at the situation first."

Liu He let out a breath and then continued to sit at the table.

However, the other diners were not as confident as he was. When they saw what was happening, they all ran away in the blink of an eye.

Liu He sat calmly in his seat, pouring tea into the cups in front of himself and Zhang Yu, completely ignoring what was happening behind him.

I only heard the young boss and his wife running out of the store in a hurry, and they seemed to have accidentally kicked something. A series of chaotic ping-pong sounds rang out, accompanied by a slight cry of pain from the boss.

But the boss was strong. He endured the pain and fell to his knees with a "thump".

"Master Yu, please be magnanimous and let us go. I kowtow to you..."

All I heard was "dong dong dong", and the boss hit the ground with quite a lot of force.

"Go to hell..."

The man kicked the boss hard and knocked him to the ground.

"Brother Lian, how are you..."

The proprietress exclaimed and helped her husband up, her tone full of panic.

"Fuck it, I'll let you go, who'll let me go? Don't talk nonsense, the three-day deadline given by my master has expired, either pay the money now or leave with me."

The visitor obviously brought a lot of people with him. As soon as he gave an order, there were bursts of footsteps.

"You...what are you going to do? Don't hurt my wife..."

The boss shouted in panic.

"Hey, I'm not doing anything. I'm just surrounding you to prevent you from escaping. Tell me, do you want to hand over the money or the people?"

The visitor's tone seemed very lazy, but the threat and murderous intent contained in it were chilling.

Many onlookers gathered around. Liu He raised his head and took a look. They all had expressions of sympathy and fear on their faces, and were sighing.

"Alas, this young couple is really nice. The rice dumplings they made are really good and taste great. How did they end up with such a bully? Looking at the appearance of this group of people, they seem to be thugs from some wealthy family. This is really troublesome."

"Don't you know? This young couple just fled to Luoyang two months ago, and they were penniless. At that time, they met a young master from a wealthy family who said he was willing to lend them money to open a shop. They thanked him profusely, and only then did they take a thousand coins and buy this small shop."

"Hmm? Isn't this a good thing?"

"Hey, what a good thing! The shop has just opened and the young man suddenly came to collect the debt. He asked them to pay back the money, and he wanted two thousand coins including the principal and interest."

"What? It's going to double in just one month!"

"Yeah, where can you go to seek justice? Well, in the final analysis, isn't it because the boss lady is a little prettier? Beauty is the root of trouble..."

"Hey, brother, what you said is wrong. She is naturally beautiful. You have to blame that young master. He is bullying others by taking advantage of his power. He is clearly setting a trap for her. He is really a piece of shit!"

"What did you say? You dare to talk about my young master? You are courting death!"

Several thugs glared at them ferociously, and the people who had just spoken were terrified and ran away in panic.

Zhang Yu understood the whole story and couldn't bear it, so she winked at Liu He. However, this time Liu He smiled at her and signaled her not to worry.

The two turned around and saw a bearded, ferocious-looking man, with a dozen thugs armed with sticks and swords, surrounding the young couple.

Poor young couple, they sat slumped in the middle, almost unable to cry.

"We...we don't have the money...we've only been open for a month, can we give it some extra time..."

"What a s--t!"

The sturdy man had no patience at all and kicked him directly. The boss was frail and could not withstand two consecutive heavy kicks. He was kicked so hard that blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. "Brother Lian... Brother Lian, how are you..."

The proprietress hugged her husband and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with trembling hands.

The boss grabbed her hand and said with a distressed look on his face: "Madam, I am incompetent. I thought I could live a peaceful life by bringing you to Luoyang, but I didn't expect that you would suffer. I am sorry for you and your dead parents..."

"Brother Lian, please stop talking. Shan'er knows how good you are to her. We can only blame our bad luck..."

As they talked, the two of them hugged each other and burst into tears.

"Damn it, they're still kissing me like this in front of me, come on, separate them!"

Several thugs came forward and forcibly separated the couple.

"Brother Lian..."

"Shan'er...don't hurt her..."

The sturdy man walked up to the two men and sneered a few times.

"My master has done his best. You have no money, so doesn't this give you a second choice? As long as you two follow me back home and follow my master as slaves from now on, wouldn't that be much better than the poor life now?"

When the young couple heard this, their faces suddenly became more resolute and disdainful.

"Bah!" The boss spat at the strong man.

"Don't think I don't know what that Wang guy is thinking. Even if my husband and I are living in poverty, we absolutely don't want to be humiliated by a despicable guy like him!"

The sturdy man wiped off the saliva that was spat on his face and stared at the boss. He seemed calm, but the murderous intent in his eyes was very obvious.

"You are good, kid! Very good! You are brave..."

As soon as he said the word "courageous", he suddenly threw a punch, hitting the boss's stomach hard.

The boss immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and curled up on the ground in pain.

"Brother Lian..."

The proprietress struggled hard, trying to break free from the restraints, but how could a woman like her escape from two strong thugs?

The sturdy man turned his head and looked at her: "Let me tell you bluntly, yes, my master has taken a fancy to you. You are a pretty girl. If you follow my master, hehe, you can at least be favored for a month or two. By then, I will have to kowtow to you and pay my respects. You can also get some rewards and go back to your hometown to buy a few acres of land. Isn't it much better than now?"

"Shan'er...don't...don't listen to him..."

The boss' voice was weak, and he struggled to shout out a few words, but the sturdy man was too lazy to even look down at him, and just kept staring at the boss's wife.

The lady boss glanced at her husband, then sneered at the strong man, "Although I am a woman, I also know the rules of propriety and honor. That Wang guy relied on his father and uncles, who all held important positions, to bully ordinary people like us. My husband and I are powerless to resist, so we can only accept our fate."

The strong man thought she had compromised when he heard this, and was about to be happy, but he heard her suddenly change the subject.

"But as a person living in this world, one must always have some backbone. Wang is a despicable and shameless man. All the girls who have been harmed by him have ended up with their families broken up and in great misery. My husband and I are only going to die today. It is wishful thinking for us to surrender to that bastard!"

"You! You bitch, I think you are courting death, beat his husband for me, I want to see how many bones he has and how long he can last!"

The strong man was furious and thought that at worst he could beat the man to death and take the woman back to his house. Although his master did not like to use force in bed, he had no choice but to do so. Anyway, he had done this kind of thing for the master many times over the years and was already familiar with it.

Several thugs surrounded the boss who was already lying on the ground, and raised their sticks one by one.

The proprietress was crying and wailing, and the onlookers around her looked very sorry. Some of them, who had children with them, either pulled their children away or covered their children's eyes, not daring to let them see this bloody and cruel scene.

"Husband..." Zhang Yu couldn't bear it anymore and pulled Liu He's hand.

Liu He smiled at her and patted the back of her hand.

"stop!"

This loud shout was like thunder in spring, shocking everyone present.
