Chapter 266 Power
The burly man sneered: "You profiteers, you dare to say anything to shirk responsibility!"
Several men nearby echoed: "This shop is a black shop. Everyone should be careful. If you get into trouble like us brothers, they won't care."
"If you don't give us an explanation today, we'll smash this store to pieces," the burly man shouted. "Brothers, keep smashing it."
Song Ruize grabbed the man's arm and looked at him coldly. He pressed harder and harder with his fingers until the man let out a shrill scream.
The men surrounded Song Ruize.
Song Ruize pinched his fingers, picked up the kitchen knife on the counter next to him, and waved it at the men.
Several men quickly dodged.
"Everyone, look! This is an attempt to silence someone!"
Song Ruize took out the token from the county government and said calmly, "Even if I want to kill someone, it has nothing to do with them. It's all for the sake of maintaining public order."
The men didn't expect that there would be government officials here. They looked at each other hesitantly.
"Preserve the scene and have the prosecutor come over to take a look. Based on the traces left at the scene and the scars on the injured, we can deduce whether it was man-made or an accident." Song Ruize looked at the waiter next to him, "What are you standing there for? You saw a troublemaker, and you didn't report it to the police?"
Seeing they had hit a wall, the men rushed towards the door. However, Song Ruize was blocking the way, so not only were there a few people, but even a fly couldn't escape.
Bang! Song Ruize kicked the man, and he flew out and hit the smoking pot.
"what……"
This time, in full view of everyone, the man knocked over the pot, and some of the oil and soup poured onto his body, causing him to roll on the ground in pain.
The onlookers shuddered and looked at Song Ruize with awe.
Song Ruize remained calm and looked at the men beside him: "Since we are brothers, we should share the good and the bad. Do you want to experience this feeling?"
Several men knelt down and kowtowed to Song Ruize: "Sir, we know we were wrong. We were blinded by greed. Sir, please forgive us!"
"Can……"
Several men couldn't help but be delighted.
"Everyone drink a bowl of this soup, and you can leave after drinking it."
Song Ruize pointed to the big pot next to him.
The soup in the pot was still bubbling.
Everyone's eyes were filled with fear, and when they looked at the handsome young man in front of them, they felt that this was simply an evil spirit that had entered the world.
"Either drink this bowl of soup, or come with me to the government office and let me show you the torture instruments there." Song Ruize sneered, "Choose!"
"Brother, what should I do?"
"I drink."
Li Taohua covered Qin Huiyin's eyes.
Too cruel.
My daughter, please don't watch this.
The other onlookers didn't dare to look.
Tang Yichen frowned and turned his head away.
Song Ruize found a place to sit down, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair next to him.
Several strong men knelt down and said to Song Ruize, "Master, if we tell who is behind this, can you spare us?"
"That depends on whether what you say is valuable."
"It must be valuable," the big man said hurriedly. "The steward of the Li family, the silk shop in the county, found us and gave us 100 taels of silver. He asked us to come here to blackmail the owner of the Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurant. He also wanted to smash the place and destroy everything here so that the Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurant can't continue to operate here."
"Where did this bastard come from?" Li Taohua cursed. "I've never even heard of such a person, and now he comes looking for trouble with us, he must be sick!"
"Master, I have explained everything. Can you let us go?"
"One thousand taels." Song Ruize said calmly, "You guys smashed things here, you have to compensate."
"We don't have that many."
"Either one thousand taels, or a bowl of oily soup for each person."
Several big men gathered together to discuss. They took out all their silver notes and still only had nine hundred taels, and they still couldn't get the remaining one hundred taels together.
"Looks like you're going to leave one person to drink the oil soup." Song Ruize gave a cold smile. "Who's coming?"
The men trembled. Their leader had been scalded by the oily soup. While the earlier brother had done it on purpose, the soup wasn't very hot at the time, so the burn was only minor. Now the remaining eight had only minor injuries. Only one of the eight could drink the oily soup. However, no one was willing to make such a sacrifice.
If you drink such hot soup, your throat will definitely be ruined and you will be a mute for the rest of your life.
"Master, we know we were wrong, please spare our lives..."
Several people knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Song Ruize looked at Qin Huiyin, his gaze resting on her forehead, his eyes becoming even colder: "If you don't drink, I'll let you drink from the pot."
"Seventh Brother, come and drink." The weak boss picked out this unlucky guy.
"No, I still have my mother to take care of. Why are you looking for me?" The most timid Old Seven said angrily, "I clearly didn't agree with this in the first place."
The men looked at each other.
Two of them held Lao Qi, and the other one filled a bowl of boiling hot soup and was about to pour it into Lao Qi's mouth.
The scene was so bloody that no one could bear to watch it.
"Stop it," Tang Yichen said. "Let's hand it over to the authorities. This is lynching."
"Yinyin was hurt like this, and you still sympathize with the person who hurt her?" Song Ruize sneered, "A brother like you is really useless and stupid."
"I..." Tang Yichen looked at Qin Huiyin. "But, that shouldn't be the way."
"That's right." Song Ruize stood up and looked coldly at the burly man in the lead. "Whoever started this should be held responsible. In that case, he should drink this bowl of oil soup."
The leading strong man was already in excruciating pain, and now there was a knife on his neck. If they didn't take the knife away today, they would not be able to walk out of this door.
"Sir, please leave some room for improvement so we can meet again someday," the burly man said with a final struggle. "Perhaps you'll need us brothers in the future. We owe you a favor today, and we'll definitely repay you in the future."
"That's quite true. In that case, I'll give you another choice: cut off one of your fingers."
hiss……
Everyone gasped.
Why is it getting bloodier and bloodier?
"Boss Qin is usually so kind, but I didn't expect her brother to be so difficult to deal with. Luckily, I never thought of causing trouble, otherwise..."
"That's because you're ignorant. Why is there no one causing trouble at Chuan Chuan Xiang? Don't you see who the beggars and thugs around here listen to?"
"These guys are really looking for death!"
The strong man was in a dilemma. Between drinking oily soup and losing a finger, he chose the latter. If he chose the former, his throat would definitely be destroyed. The latter, at least he would save his life.
"Ah..." The strong man chopped down with a kitchen knife.
Everyone closed their eyes collectively.
