Chapter 41 Enemies Meet Again, Their Hatred Runs Deeper

"Shameless scoundrel!" Wang Chunshu asked in a loud voice, "A fourteen-year-old boy, praised by everyone in this area, why would he give up his wonderful youth and chase after your three brothers for ten miles just to kill them?"

If Long Bin saw this scene, he would be absolutely stunned: How could there be forced demolitions in ancient times?

Yes, forced demolitions are happening in the 21st century.

However, in ancient times, homestead land was extremely valuable.

The Yu family has been scheming for over twenty years to seize the Xiao family's land.

Now that Mr. and Mrs. Xiao have passed away one after another, and their son has disappeared, it is the perfect opportunity for them to seize this land.

Seeing that the crowd was growing larger and larger, Yu Xing discussed with his henchmen and decided to bring in more people. Half of them would drive away the people, and the other half would forcibly demolish the buildings.

Just then, Xiao Yulin, the head nephew of the Xiao family, arrived.

"Yu Xing, you beast who humiliated my aunt, I'll fight you to the death!"

Xiao Yulin, holding a carrying pole, lunged at Yu Xing.

Upon seeing this, the constables around Yu Xing surrounded him.

Upon seeing this, Wang Chun and the others shouted, "Are you in your yamen going to support the left and back up the bullies?"

"Don't arrest anyone!"

"Don't bully others just because you're powerful!"

"If you want to arrest the Xiao family, arrest us first!"

Seeing that they had aroused public anger, the constables quickly stopped and looked at Yu Xing.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xing shouted, "Listen up, everyone! If you unreasonably stop me from demolishing my house, arrest you all!"

Yu Xing waved his hand: "Go! Drive them all away!"

A group of constables began clearing the area.

Suddenly, a hundred or two people surged forward and rushed towards the onlookers.

Seeing that the forced demolition was really going to happen, Wang Chun shouted loudly, "Neighbors, uncles, aunts, brothers, Uncle Xiao saved the lives of many of our families when he was alive. He practiced medicine and did good deeds throughout his life, not only treating us for free, but also helping us out from time to time. Now that they have suffered a disaster, what are we going to do?"

"Let's fight them!" a few middle-aged men shouted, and hundreds of neighbors quickly joined hands to form a human wall, confronting the constables and Yu Xing's men.

"Don't demolish it!"

Wang Chun shouted at Yu Xing, "Hey Yu, don't bully us ordinary people! You may have money and power, and we can't beat you, but we have our lives!"

"Yes! At worst, we'll spare Uncle Xiao's life!"

Yu Xing was stunned; he hadn't expected Lao Xiao to have such a great influence in this area.

Seeing that the people, led by Wang Chun and others, were relentless and determined, Yu Xing knew that it was all instigated by Wang Chun, Xiao Yulin and others. If these key figures were dealt with, the resistance to the demolition would be reduced by more than half.

"Neighbors, what you're doing is very dangerous. Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"

"Don't listen to the instigation of Wang Chun and others, or you will bear all the consequences."

"Wang Chun, if you don't pull back from the brink, I'll drag you to the yamen right now."

"Xiao Yulin, if you keep messing around, I'll make sure you meet your good brother Xiao Yudong in the underworld."

Upon hearing Yu Xing's words, Xiao Yulin flew into a rage and shouted, "You shameless scoundrel! You humiliated and drove my aunt to her death, and you even framed my cousin. Today, you've colluded with the authorities to try and seize my Xiao family's ancestral home! You are a wicked beast!"

At this moment, more and more people gathered at the scene. In front of nearly a thousand people, Yu Xing was so angry that his face turned green. He roared, "Men, arrest the lawbreakers Xiao Yulin and Wang Chun!"

He attempted to seize someone else's land, yet accused the other party of breaking the law. Yu Xing displayed shamelessness to the fullest extent. With a roar, more than a dozen martial artists rushed out from behind him and charged straight at Wang Chun and Xiao Yulin.

Fearing his brothers would suffer, Xiao Yulin quickly shouted, "Brothers, Yu Xing has already used his thugs, let's go!"

Yu Xing and the head constable, Ah San, exchanged a glance. Ah San shouted, "This is my final warning to you: leave the scene immediately, or I will execute you on the spot!"

Xiao Yulin said, "If you use force against us, we will go to the Seventh Prince of Yangzhou to file a complaint with the Emperor!"

Although the Seventh Prince Long Yingshan had only been enfeoffed as the Prince of Lingjiang for less than half a year, he was already famous throughout his jurisdiction.

Yu Xing felt a little scared. The Seventh Prince and the officials he brought were all upright and honest. If the Seventh Prince found out that he was a tyrant, the Yu family would probably be in grave danger.

"Wang Chun and Xiao Yulin cannot be allowed to live!" Yu Xing decided to stir up trouble and eliminate these two menaces in the chaos.

He whispered something to a few people around him, then whispered to the head constable, Ah San, "Help my men get rid of them, and you'll get one hundred taels of silver."

The Indian man nodded and said, "Deal!"

The Indian man drew his sword and brandished it: "Arrest him! Anyone who disobeys will be executed on the spot!"

The people at the scene were stunned when they saw the constables wielding knives and swords and the thugs brought by Yu Xing rushing over.

"Arrest them! Arrest them all!" Yu Xing shouted, waving his hand.

The people had never seen anything like this before, and seven or eight of them were paralyzed with fear on the spot.

Seeing this, the Indian man coldly shouted, "Take them away!"

More than a dozen constables worked in pairs to lift up the fallen civilians and drag them out.

"stop!"

With a deep shout, people saw the Xiao family's gate open, and a slender young man walked out of the house.

"Xiao Yudong?"

"Yu Dong is back?!" Xiao Yulin, Wang Chun, and the neighbors exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yudong stepped over the wall of people, walked up to the constable, and said, "I am the landlord, Xiao Yudong. Please release the innocent people."

Several constables couldn't help but look at Ah San, then at Xiao Yudong. When they saw the bronze badge on his belt, they were startled and quickly nodded.

A dozen or so people rushed out from the human wall and carried the terrified neighbor back inside.

Xiao Wang bowed to the wall of people and said, "Xiao Dong, thank you uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters!"

He turned around and stared coldly at Yu Xing, who was still in a daze, and said coldly, "Yu, shouldn't we be enemies meeting?"

Yu Xing unconsciously touched the scar on his forehead and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to avenge my mother."

Yu Xing felt a shiver run down his spine. He glanced at Ah San beside him and his courage grew.

"Don't forget who you are."

Xiao Yudong asked, puzzled, "What is my identity?"

Yu Xing said disdainfully, "You are a fugitive who is trying to escape punishment. Let me remind you, hurry up and go to the yamen to turn yourself in."

Xiao Yudong's usually calm heart was instantly pierced with pain, and he said angrily, "I owe my life to your brother back then. Who do you think you are, daring to speak so arrogantly in front of me?"

Xiao Yudong looked at Ah San and asked coldly, "Are you here to protect this bully?"

The Indian was stung by the knife-like gaze and took several steps back in fright, completely losing his usual composure.

Xiao Yudong glared at him fiercely, which nearly made Ah San collapse in fright, his whole body trembling.

Yu Xing was astonished by this and exclaimed, "Third Brother, why are you afraid of him?"
