After a while, 50 people led by Liu Fengshou gathered from all directions, holding torches.

"Zhang Quan, didn't I tell you this afternoon that you can unload if you want, but you have to unload eastward? What? You didn't unload in the east, but you came to our west. What are you doing in the dark at night? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Liu Fengshou held the torch, his face calm and his tone stern.

After hearing his words, Zhang Quan remained silent and motionless. He narrowed his eyes at Liu Fengshou and the others, then, after a moment, said with a playful smile, "Uncle Fengshou, this is a complete misunderstanding. We were just about to go to the river to fetch water when we saw your earthen bags fall. We were just about to carry them up and finish the pile."

Hearing him exaggerate black and white, Liu Fengshou and others couldn't help but roll their eyes, and cursed in their hearts, thinking that he was shameless.

At this moment, another burst of sneers came. The people on Zhang Quan's side couldn't help but shudder.

The man who had just stepped on shit jumped up when he heard it, and cursed: "Who is laughing there? If you have the guts, come out here and I will beat you to death."

"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you." Li Lan said sarcastically.

When everyone heard her voice, they quickly moved aside to make way for her.

Seeing her approaching, the man who had just been cursing suddenly brightened up his eyes and said teasingly, "Hey, where did you get such a beautiful girl? Do you want to be mine? I will definitely make sure you have everything you need."

"Zhang Tiedan, watch your mouth before you talk nonsense again." Liu Song was already holding back his anger from the afternoon, and now, hearing him say that about Li Lan, he became even more furious.

Zhang Tiedan pouted on the ground and said disdainfully, "Liu Song, who do you think you are? How dare you control me? If you make me angry, I'll ask Brother Bao to bring people to deal with you."

"You..." Liu Song was about to say something, but Liu Fengshou pulled him back and winked at him to shut up. He cursed inwardly: "This idiot, this blind man, can't he see that Miss Li is getting impatient? He's still talking nonsense."

Li Lan played with his fingers, sneered, and slowly walked towards Zhang Tiedan.

When Zhang Tiedan saw Li Lan walking towards him so actively, he thought she was moved and wanted to submit to him. He laughed and rubbed his hands together, with a lewd look on his face.

I kept repeating in my heart: Come closer, my beauty, come into my arms, I will love you well.

After a while, everyone heard a "bang" and looked in the direction of the sound. The tall and strong Zhang Tiedan fell two meters away. With a "wow" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with three teeth.

Seeing this scene, Liu Fengshou and others couldn't help but swallow their saliva and swore in their hearts: Never mess with Miss Li again. It's too cruel.

Zhang Quan, who was not far away, had a flash of eyes and an anxious look on his face.

Zhou Liu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: Madam is so cruel, I like her so much.

If Li Lan could hear his inner voice, she would definitely shake her hair narcissistically and say: Don’t be obsessed with me, I’m just a legend.

Looking at Zhang Tiedan lying on the ground, uttering "ouch, ouch" repeatedly, Li Lan wiped his hands with a handkerchief, walked over to him, squatted down, and a cold voice rang in his ear: "Now tell me, whose grandfather are you?"

His body trembled, he swallowed a mouthful of blood, and said in a trembling voice: "It's my grandfather, it's my grandfather."

Li Lan sneered, stood up, and said condescendingly, "Coward."

Zhang Tiedan was practically crying: "Physical attacks are fine, I can't win. But why the personal attacks? Don't I have any dignity? Woohoo!"

"Brother Quan, what should we do?" The man standing next to Zhang Quan asked nervously in a low voice.

Zhang Quan didn't say anything, feeling uncertain, and could only wait for that person to come.

Looking at Li Lan who was getting closer and closer, Zhang Quan closed his eyes and opened them again, saying, "Girl, do you want to beat me up too?"

After hearing what he said, Li Lan didn't take it seriously. He walked up to him, quickly reached out and grabbed the front of his shirt and lifted it up.

Zhang Quan felt his feet leave the ground, and instinctively used his hands to pry her hands open, but it was of no avail in the end. At this time, he was really a little scared.

At this moment, a young man's voice was heard.

"Girl, please show mercy."

With a "bang", Zhang Quan was thrown out. With a "groan", his body hit the protective wall and bounced back to the ground.

"Girl, why?" A group of people holding torches came hurriedly from a distance. The man in the lead, who looked like a scholar, asked with sharp eyes.

Li Lan turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. Leading the way was a man who looked like a scholar, about 17 years old. He had a slender figure and was wearing a white satin gown. His hair was tied in a bun and decorated with a white ribbon. He had a thin face and a fierce look between his eyebrows.

"Just hit him? What's wrong?" She tilted her head and said innocently.

"Miss, how did my brother offend you? You can't be so arrogant and unreasonable by relying on your own strength."

This person was Zhang Quan's third brother, the youngest and most promising son of the Zhang clan leader, Zhang Xuan. He was a student at the county school and one of the direct disciples of the county school principal. He had taken the examination for the title of scholar last year and even earned the title of scholar.

Li Lan couldn't help but roll his eyes and thought: This family's ability to play dumb is really better than the master.

Too lazy to waste time talking to him, he said coldly, "You're asking me? Ask your good brother. No, your Zhang family can't really have ulterior motives, right? Otherwise, why would you stay up late at night and come move sandbags from the protective wall?"

At this point, she suddenly looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise, as if she had discovered something, and shouted, "No, your eldest brother doesn't have any perverted habits, does he? Otherwise, why would he come here to move earth bags so late at night? Could it be that his wife at home can't satisfy him, so he has to come out and do this to relieve himself?"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone burst out laughing.

What a powerful mouth, Zhang Xuan thought.

Zhang Quan, who had just been helped up by his own people, now had a red face and difficulty breathing. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound and fainted.

"Miss, please be careful with your words." Zhang Xuan looked back at the partially removed earthen bags and continued, "Well, I'll have someone move the removed earthen bags back to their original positions. I apologize to you."

After saying this, he bowed.

If he hadn't missed the fleeting fierceness in his eyes, Li Lan would have almost believed it. He sneered and said sarcastically, "I can't bear your courtesy. Also, let them go this time. You are a bunch of ruthless people, disregarding the lives of others for your own benefit. I wonder how much of the sage books you read truly values ​​the word 'life'? If not, then I will go to the county school and ask the headmaster: is he training such a heartless and ungrateful disciple just to gain a high position and bring disaster to the people?"

This accusation terrified even Zhang Xuan, who considered himself a skilled negotiator, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. His eyes darkened, and he made a firm decision: For the sake of his future, he couldn't let his father handle things this way.

Thinking of this, he collected his thoughts, bent down and said, "Miss, I will teach you."

He turned around, his face darkening, and said sternly, "Go."
