Cheng Feng was confused by this sudden accusation. He argued, "Master Zhai, what you said is unreasonable. I did come to your house to ask for some food for emergency, but you refused to lend me even a grain of rice! In this case, why are you accusing me of taking your food for charity? And you even brought dozens of people to my porridge shop to cause trouble. If you don't explain this matter clearly today, I will never let it go!"

At this moment, many onlookers gathered around, whispering and pointing. Behind Cheng Feng stood his son Cheng Youning. Cheng Feng knew very well that in such an occasion, he must not show weakness and retreat just because the other party was outnumbered. He straightened his back and looked directly at Master Zhai without fear, secretly vowing in his heart that he must argue with reason and maintain his innocence.

Master Zhai was even more angry when he saw Cheng Feng refused to admit his guilt, so he insulted him even more fiercely: "Fengying is indeed a wild and barbaric place, and it actually gave birth to a shrewd person like you. You took my food and dared to ask me for an explanation. You are simply unreasonable and lawless!"

Cheng Youning was behind Cheng Feng, his hands were scratching Cheng Feng's belt at a loss. When Cheng Feng noticed his son's little action, he thought to himself that the child might be frightened by seeing so many people brought by Master Zhai. Thinking of this, Cheng Feng couldn't help but straighten his back and chest, and then nodded confidently: "Speak with evidence. If you falsely accuse me of stealing your food without any evidence, don't blame me for being rude. I will definitely report to the authorities and seek justice!"

Hearing this, Master Zhai sneered and said sarcastically: "Hey, Cheng, you are still stubborn even when you are about to die! To tell you the truth, there is no need for you to report to the authorities. I would have sent someone to ask for the officials long ago. I will see how you make excuses and deny things in front of the government in a short time!" As he said that, Master Zhai waved his hand, signaling the dozens of his men to surround Cheng Feng and his men.

Cheng Feng saw that dozens of people led by Master Zhai were approaching him little by little. Although he felt a little nervous, he pretended to be calm on the surface. "Since you have already reported to the police, why did you bring so many people here? Are you trying to bully others by taking advantage of your power?"

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Master Zhai laughed wildly, and the laughter made people shudder. After laughing, he stared at Cheng Feng viciously and said with gritted teeth: "Humph, do you think I will let you go so easily? For thieves like you, even if I beat you to death on the spot today, it would be reasonable! I, Zhai, will let you have a good taste of the power of offending me today, so that you will never forget it!"

Seeing this man boasting, Cheng Feng could not show weakness even though he had fewer people. He shouted, "You are unreasonable, right? Humph, don't think you can scare me by relying on your numbers. I'm not afraid! However, I still kindly advise you not to act rashly. If I accidentally hurt you, don't blame me for not warning you in advance..."

However, before Cheng Feng could finish his words, Master Zhai suddenly waved his hand, and the people he brought with him rushed at them like hungry wolves, swinging their sticks fiercely.

In a flash, Cheng Feng was quick to push Cheng Youning, who was standing behind him, away and shouted anxiously, "Run!" Before he finished speaking, the nine people on their side had already rushed towards the clubs of the dozens of people on the other side without hesitation. In an instant, shouts of killing and the sound of clubs clashing rose and fell, resounding throughout the streets and alleys.

Fortunately, after witnessing this scene, the common people who were waiting to eat Cheng Feng's porridge stepped forward and joined the team to help Cheng Feng and others, fighting against the "evil forces" of Master Zhai. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and with the help of the people, the group of people brought by Master Zhai not only failed to gain any advantage, but were pinned to the ground one after another.

Even though the situation was already so unfavorable, Master Zhai, with his face pressed firmly to the ground, still refused to give up, and kept shouting, "Cheng Feng, just wait and see! The government troops will be here soon, and then I'll show you how I'm going to deal with you ignorant people! I'm going to make sure all of you stay in jail for life, and never get out of jail in this lifetime!"

Sui Dan spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood, and then threatened with disdain: "Humph! Old Zhai, don't be so sure. There is no cell in the world that can trap us brothers! But if you kneel down on the ground and kowtow to me three times respectfully, maybe I will let you go if I am in a good mood."

Hearing this, Master Zhai, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move, was so angry that his face turned red. He cursed loudly: "Bah! You shameless bandits, how dare you be so arrogant and speak so arrogantly in our Eleventh City! Just wait for your hands and feet to be chopped off and you will be tortured to death!"

Cheng Feng, who was standing by, saw this scene and was filled with doubts. It was obvious that Master Zhai was already at a disadvantage and was pinned to the ground without any ability to fight back, but why did he still hold on to Sui Dan and the others? So he couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhai, is there any misunderstanding here? We can talk it out, there's no need to fight like this."

However, when Sui Dan heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at Cheng Feng, and loudly refuted: "What misunderstanding! This old man is clearly the local tyrant in these eleven cities! He himself is unwilling to help those poor refugees, and he can't stand us giving rice porridge here to do good deeds. Such a vicious person has a heart harder than stone and darker than the ash at the bottom of the pot! Cheng Feng, you don't need to intervene in this matter, just let me handle it."

After hearing this, Cheng Feng actually believed Sui Dan's words. Cheng Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, and told Sui Dan: "Well... okay, but you have to be careful when you do it. It's okay to teach them a lesson, but don't kill anyone."

Because in Cheng Feng's heart, local tyrants are a very hateful existence. They don't do good things themselves, and they stop others from doing good things. These people are often bullies with certain power in the local area. They do evil things by oppressing the people. Such people should indeed be punished.
