Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

The woman regained her senses, hurriedly reached out and pulled the basket to her side, then stood up in a panic.

Liu Jia stared coldly at the people in front of him.

"What are you trying to do in broad daylight?"

"Heh heh, kid, don't go looking for trouble. If you know what's good for you, get lost, or I'll make you regret it!"

As he spoke, the short man pulled out a dagger from his waist and waved it directly in front of Liu Jia.

Li Zhenhe stepped forward and said, "Don't bully people. What did selling baskets do to offend you? Do you think it's necessary for several of you to bully a woman?"

The short man laughed so hard he almost fell over, and he was almost out of breath.

After laughing several times, the short man finally stood up straight.

"Hey guys, did you see that? Some of them are really reckless. Today I'll see if my knife is faster or their legs are faster. They dare to run wild on Boss Liu's turf, they're really tired of living!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the short man actually rushed over with a dagger!

Liu Jia dodged in a flash, and Li Zhenhe beside him also hurriedly moved aside.

In an instant, Li Zhenhe's heart jumped into his throat!

Unexpectedly, these bastards were so arrogant that they actually started fighting.

Just as the short man was about to charge forward again, Liu Jia suddenly shouted.

"Wait, whose territory is this?"

The shorter man hadn't expected that the young man opposite him would still have the mind to ask him questions at this moment.

However, thinking of the person above him, the short guy really wanted to show off a bit.

He twirled the dagger in his hand in a fancy way, tilted his head, and spoke smugly.

"Master Liu! Liu Dongpo, listen carefully, this is Master Liu's territory!"

A look of caution appeared in Liu Jia's eyes.

Beside him, Li Zhenhe's eyes also flashed with disbelief.

Back in Qingcheng, He Huiqiang once said that the big boss Liu Dongpo was in charge of Qingcheng and Yecheng, but he was referring to the black market, not to business conducted in broad daylight!

Could it be that Liu Dongpo's influence extended so far that he even interfered in the lives of ordinary people?

At the same time, Liu Jia was also wondering just how capable Liu Dongpo was, and how he could be involved in such a wide range of matters.

Neither Liu Jia nor Li Zhenhe spoke; both of them had their brows furrowed tightly.

Seeing this scene, the person next to the short man also laughed.

"Scared, aren't you? Hearing the name of Master Liu, you'd be scared out of your wits. Quickly kowtow and compensate us for our losses, and we won't hold it against you, otherwise..."

The man didn't finish his sentence, but his expression immediately changed.

Just a moment ago, that person was laughing heartily, but in the blink of an eye, their face was contorted with rage.

Seeing the short man pull out a dagger again, the woman beside him suddenly came to her senses.

Without bothering to brush the dirt off her body, the woman spoke in a trembling voice.

"Brothers, we were wrong! I'll give you money, I'll give you all the money I have on me! Please have mercy and let us go!"

As she spoke, the woman began to nervously reach into her pocket.

After some fumbling, he finally pulled a crumpled little handkerchief out of his pocket.

In front of everyone, the woman opened her small handkerchief, revealing a few coins.

At first, the short man and the others stared wide-eyed at the woman, but when they saw that the largest denomination was only 50 cents, the short man immediately flew into a rage!

"Go to hell! You think you can fool your grandpa with this little bit of money? Get the hell out of here!"

"Tomorrow, none of you are leaving without handing over a hundred or two hundred yuan!"

"You basket sellers, and you busybodies, let's see who gets away with this!"

The short guy made a tough statement, and the rest of the men started grabbing their weapons.

The woman's hands were trembling so much she could barely hold the handkerchief, yet she still pleaded, "This is really all I have, all my money."

After saying that, the woman swallowed hard, as if she had made up her mind, and looked straight at Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe.

"Brothers, you'd better run! I'll just let them beat me up at most!"

Liu Jia's eyes narrowed into slits.

run?

Now that we're here, we've no intention of running away!

Besides, two grown men abandoning a woman and running away like that, don't they have any shame?

Liu Jia stood ramrod straight, and Li Zhenhe began to roll up his sleeves.

Upon finding a withered branch about the thickness of a wrist at his feet, Li Zhenhe picked it up without hesitation and held it horizontally!

In this way, the branches separated them from the thugs.

Liu Jia reached out and patted Li Zhenhe's wrist.

When Liu Jia saw the group of people in front of him again, his expression had softened considerably.

"You lot have some nerve, daring to ruin Master Liu's reputation on his own turf. Don't you want to live?"

"Last time, Master Liu was tricked by his enemies and suffered such a huge loss. We haven't even found a clue yet, and you're already putting on this show?"

"You worthless bastards! Committing violence in broad daylight, are you trying to get the higher-ups to blame Master Liu?"

"I ignored you earlier to give you a chance. Since you're being so shameless, then leave your names here, and I'll personally tell Master Liu what happened today!"

The people opposite were shocked. As Liu Jia continued to speak, their faces turned deathly pale.

The short man who had been holding the dagger was now trembling.

"What's going on? Is this... encountering our people?" The person who asked the question looked suspicious, his eyes constantly scrutinizing Liu Jia.

The short man's eyes widened. Although his heart was pounding, he tried his best to calm himself down.

The person speaking to them didn't blush or skip a beat, as if they really didn't care about them at all.

You have to understand, they all have weapons. Putting aside everything else, even if they stab with their own daggers, it's a case of white blade in and red blade out!

The little man gasped again at the thought of the dagger.

Just now, when I stabbed this young man with a dagger, he simply turned around and dodged it.

The movements were incredibly smooth; you could tell they were trained professionals!

Swallowing hard again, the short man felt a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Finished!

This man doesn't seem to be lying; he might really know Master Liu!

Thinking back on their actions, they had clearly offended this person...

Just as the short man was trembling with fear, he suddenly heard a bang.

Li Zhenhe threw the dry branch in his hand aside and kicked it with his foot.

"Master Liu was wise all his life, but he made a foolish mistake this time, raising such a bunch of scoundrels. It's truly a disgrace!"

The short man shuddered and pointed at Li Zhenhe.

"Don't make sarcastic remarks. You think you know our Master Liu? Who knows if you're lying? What proof do you have?"

As soon as Li Zhenhe spoke, Liu Jia stepped forward.

"Evidence? What evidence do you bunch of turtle bastards need to provide!"

"I'm going straight to Master Liu's newly bought villa and telling him everything that happened today!"

The short man was stunned, and the people around him began to back away.

At this moment, Liu Jia walked directly towards the short man, and before the short man could react, he swung his arm in a wide arc.

"Snapped!"

A hard slap landed squarely on the short guy's face!

The short man was already small, and with Liu Jia using all his strength, he was instantly knocked dizzy and disoriented.

After regaining my balance, all I could see were golden stars.

Liu Jia spoke again in a cold voice.

“In Fengbailu Village, everyone faces south with their backs to the wall. Uncle Liu has just built a new house and wants me to go check it out tonight. Do you dare to come with me?”

Upon hearing this, the short man suddenly felt his legs buckle and almost fell to the ground!

The remaining people also began to panic, their eyes all fixed on the short man.

The short man inwardly groaned and immediately knelt before Liu Jia.

"Sir, we were wrong. We will never dare to ruin Master Liu's reputation again!"

"We were blind and offended you, sir! Please spare us!"

"We apologize, we'll pay compensation!"

After saying that, the short man suddenly turned his head to look at the people around him.

"What the hell are you standing there for? Hurry up and take the money out of your pockets!"

The short man got angry, and the rest of the people had no choice but to do as he said.

However, they didn't dare to get close to Liu Jia. After taking out the money, they quickly reached out and threw it towards Liu Jia.

At this point, the short man was filled with regret.

He himself was a scoundrel, and the people under his command were all bad influences.

Although he was a local thug, he didn't have a real backer.

When people ask about it, they always mention Old Liu.

And you know what? Mentioning the big shot Liu Dongpo really works. Many people are quite intimidated by them, and they have also tasted the benefits of it.

This time, I was really short of money, so I thought of collecting money.

But unexpectedly, it really proved the saying, "If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

I met someone who actually knows Lao Liu today!

Moreover, this person is going to Old Liu's place that night!

If this matter isn't resolved quickly, these guys will definitely not be able to survive in Yecheng!

Therefore, the first solution the short man thought of was to apologize and pay compensation!

Seeing this scene before him, Li Zhenhe felt all the blood rush to his head!

Not long ago, they were threatening people with knives, but after Liu Jia's actions, they're now willingly handing over money?

What's going on here?!

Liu Jia, standing beside him, remained expressionless, his face still cold.

Seeing this, the short man endured the pain on half of his face and forced a smile.

"Sir, please forgive us! We really know we were wrong!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining people also knelt down.

Liu Jia glanced at the money on the ground, then looked up.

"I'll forgive you, but you have to do me a favor."
