I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 355 The road is rough

Chapter 355 Seeing Injustice

Liu Rushi glared angrily at Liu Lishun with her beautiful eyes. Although her husband was a lecherous man with a lot of flaws, he was still the father of her child. This man may be shameless, but his son should be! How could you say that he was a wicked monk who seduced innocent women?

Mao Xiang glanced at his baby, Dong Xiaowan, and asked softly, "What happened to Lady Liu? Could she have been bewitched by the evil monk?"

Dong Xiaowan said, both amused and exasperated, "He is not a demonic monk, he is my beloved son's husband, Wang Wenzhou."

Mao Xiang glanced at Hou Fangyu and the others, who all wore expressions of bewilderment upon hearing this. Poor Lady Liu, marrying that madman Wang Wenzhou!

Chen Zilong's eyes reddened with regret. If Liu Rushi had married him, she would have been a hundred times happier than she is now!

Liu Lishun stood up, and said with a wry smile, "Xiaodie, and this young lady, don't believe what that wicked monk says. There aren't that many Rinpoches! They're all swindlers! These damned swindlers use the name of Buddhism to cheat people out of money and sex. Now that I've encountered them, I won't let them go. I will definitely bring them to justice!"

Wen Liandie knew exactly what kind of madman Wang Wenzhou was. She held onto Wang Wenzhou's arm and pleaded, "Husband, please don't be angry. He used to be my family's private tutor. We haven't seen each other for a long time. He was a little excited to see me today."

“Xiaodie? Do you think I’m stupid? Sir! What kind of shameless sir is this? Holding a female student’s hand and not letting go! He obviously wants to sleep with you!” Wang Wenzhou said, kicking Liu Lishun.

"You audacious wicked monk! How dare you assault an official of the imperial court! Gentlemen, please do me a favor and bring this lawless wicked monk who seduces innocent women to justice!" Liu Lishun was a weak scholar and could not defeat Wang Wenzhou, so he had to ask the onlookers for help.

Wen Liandie quickly pointed at Liu Lishun and scolded, "Liu Lishun, I'll say it again, from now on you are you and I am me, don't cause any more trouble."

"Xiaodie! Don't be silly! You've been deceived by that evil monk!" Liu Lishun was heartbroken. His beloved girl had been tricked by the evil monk and had become his plaything.

"Sigh..." Wen Liandie shook her head with a wry smile. Liu Lishun, you idiot, your stubborn temper is flaring up again. Wang Wenzhou, that madman, is capable of anything. Why don't you hurry up and leave? He's trying to save you!

"Husband, let's go home!" Wen Liandie pleaded, pulling on Wang Wenzhou's arm.

"Xiaodie, you can't go with that evil monk!" How could Liu Lishun bear to see his beloved girl harmed by that evil monk?

"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou was furious. "You bastard, how dare you hit on my girl! Look at your shameless behavior! If I hadn't found out early, you might have actually dragged my baby into bed with you! I can't tolerate this!"

Wang Wenzhou waved to Sun Rurui, who was standing outside the crowd taking care of Jiang Xuyang, and said, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and call for help! Someone dared to snatch my baby from me! I'll kill that bastard today!"

Sun Rurui frowned deeply; her madwoman was about to have another outburst. She looked at Liu Rushi, her gaze questioning. Only Liu Rushi could control her madwoman.

Liu Rushi said coldly, "Stop making a scene, come home with me!"

Liu Rushi had no choice but to take Wang Wenzhou home; otherwise, she would have to continue humiliating herself here.

"Ruru, this is intolerable!" Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile.

Liu Rushi quickly went to Wang Wenzhou's side and said softly, "Stop making a fuss, I'll give you milk when we get home. If you keep making a fuss, I'll really get angry!"

"Hmm..." Wang Wenzhou quickly said with a smile, "I'll listen to you and be a good man! Come on, let's go home and drink milk!"

Wang Wenzhou had one arm around Liu Rushi and the other around Sun Rurui. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a shout behind him.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Wang Wenzhou turned around and saw several young men standing next to Liu Lishun, glaring at him with uncontrollable rage.

The leader was Hou Fangjiang, the second son of Hou Xun and the younger brother of Hou Fangyu.

Whether they are children of officials or children of the wealthy, they generally fall into two categories: one is the scoundrel who, relying on the power of their ancestors, commits numerous evils and acts with impunity; the other is the elite among elites who, due to receiving a good education from a young age and the influence of their upbringing, will grow up to be among the elite.

The Hou brothers, Fangjiang and Fangyu, represent one of the two types of people mentioned above. Hou Fangjiang is a scoundrel, while Hou Fangyu is a promising young talent.

Hou Fangyu and his younger brother were half-brothers, sharing the same father but different mothers. Hou Fangyu's mother died early, while Hou Fangjiang's mother was Hou Xun's second wife. The two brothers had very different personalities and character, and their relationship was not harmonious.

Hou Fangyu couldn't bear to see his younger brother cause trouble, so he quickly stepped forward and whispered to his brother, "Do you know who that person is? That's Wang Wenzhou!"

Hou Fangjiang curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Brother! I know he is Wang Wenzhou! Today, this commoner who has resigned from his post dared to beat up an official of the imperial court in public. I really couldn't stand by and watch!"

"Don't cause trouble!" Hou Fangyu pulled his younger brother aside and whispered earnestly, "You can't afford to mess with Wang Wenzhou!"

"Go away!" Hou Fangjiang shook off his brother's arm and sneered, "Hou Fangyu, you're a coward, but I'm not as shameful as you! Wang Wenzhou was bullying the officials a few days ago. Father was driven to despair by him! Now that he's lost the Emperor's favor and is hated by him, what's there to be afraid of?"

Hou Fangyu smiled wryly. His second younger brother had always been a bit dim-witted and simple-minded. Wang Wenzhou was no longer favored by the emperor? Silly brother, what do you know!

Ignoring his brother's advice, Hou Fangjiang pointed at Wang Wenzhou and cursed, "Brothers, this evil monk dares to beat up an official of the imperial court in full view of everyone. We are all diligent students, how can we stand by and watch this evil monk do evil?"

"Second brother!" Hou Fangyu grabbed Hou Fangjiang and pleaded, "You must not hit Wang Wenzhou, otherwise Father will suffer for you. Second brother, you can't betray Father!"

Ignoring all advice, Hou Fangjiang rolled up his sleeves, pointed at Wang Wenzhou, and said, "Brothers, let's go!"

The men with Hou Fangjiang were all sons of high-ranking officials; they knew their own fathers had been wronged by Wang Wenzhou. Now that the time for revenge had come, they swarmed forward.

In an instant, Wang Wenzhou was beaten so badly that he squatted on the ground, clutching his head.

"Stop fighting!" Liu Rushi and Wen Liandie quickly stepped forward to break up the fight.

"Go away! I don't hit women!" One of Hou Fangjiang's friends shoved Wen Liandie aside. Wen Liandie lost her balance and stumbled to the ground.

"Xiaodie! Are you alright?" Liu Lishun asked with concern, rushing forward to check on her.

Wen Liandie's eyes reddened as she looked at Liu Lishun and pleaded, "Please! Don't let your friend hit me, my husband is Wang Wenzhou!"

"Huh?" Liu Lishun was dumbfounded. Although he was present when Wang Wenzhou was dealing with the civil and military officials, he really didn't recognize Wang Wenzhou.

"Please!" Wen Liandie pleaded desperately, "Wang Wenzhou is capable of anything when he goes mad!"

Liu Lishun was so moved he almost cried. Xiaodie still cares about me!

"Hurry up! Don't let them hit us!" Wen Liandie urged anxiously.

"I don't know them!" Liu Lishun really didn't know Hou Fangjiang and the others who "came out of the way for justice".
