Chapter 657: The Airs & Style of An Expert Looking Down on the World
The entire crowd was stunned. Eh? Didn’t this godly doctor have the airs and style of an expert looking down on the world just now. Why did he suddenly become like this?
The surrounding crowd who were spectating this turn of events were a little surprised by what they saw and subconsciously took two steps back as they continued watching suspiciously.
“For you to be so daring as to rob me so boldly in broad daylight like this, could it be that there is no law in Chang Qing Town?!” shouted Jiang Wuhen, afraid of acting tyrannical and directly acted unreasonably shrewd instead as he prepared to find a chance to slip away and leave stealthily.
“What are you all doing? Can’t you see that we are seeking the treatment of this godly doctor for our ailments? My old man is injured and has been lying in bed for over ten years. It has been so hard, and now that I have the good fortune to have met this godly doctor, you dare to come and make trouble for him like this? Are you seeking him out for treatment or not? If you’re not, then just roll to the side!” roared the aunty from earlier on sturdily.
The people of Chang Qing Town had always been of the sturdy sort, so the moment the aunty started getting angry, the men started to be secretly afraid.
“Aunty, don’t get cheated by this fellow. He is a rowdy cheat. A few days ago, he was still putting up a banner reading, ‘Number One Divine Fortune Teller In The World’ and he cheated us of our money. Today, he simply changed his clothes and came out here pretending to be a godly doctor,” said the man holding a big axe.
“Yes, there were different words on this banner just a few days ago,” said another man standing beside the man with the big axe as he stretched out his hand and tugged on the banner. Jiang Wuhen’s banner with which he used to make a living flipped and a row of large words were revealed reading, “Iron Mouth and Divine Tooth Number One Fortune Teller Under The Heavens”.
“Eh!” exclaimed the man, very surprised before he tugged at the banner again. Once again, the banner flipped, revealing a different set of large words. This time, the banner read, “The Number One Talent In This World, Best In Everything And Knowing Anything. Chess, Qin Calligraphy, Paintings, Poem And Songs”. Since there were too many words to cram in, they were written in two rows.
Everyone was stunned at this sight. They raised their heads, lowered them, and raised their heads and lowered them again, reading all the words written on the banner.
Ling Chuxi sweated madly. This cheat, wasn’t he a little too lazy to use multiple pieces of cloth on the same banner?
With this, the crowd did not need to say anything more now, did they? Seeing these few cloth banners, even an idiot would know what kind of person Jiang Wuhen was.
“You dare to cheat me of my money? I’ll beat you! I’ll beat you to death!” cried the sturdy aunty, being the first to rush over and send a wave of punches and kicks Jiang Wuhen’s way.
The others in the crowd who were cheated were also not willing to fall behind and the situation once again turned into chaos.
As Jiang Wuhen’s miserable wails were heard, the silver bullion and gold notes were flying all over the place.
“Big brother! Big brother!” cried Li Shaoqiu who could be considered to be loyal and did not run away anxiously, instead squeezing through the crowd, wanting to drag Jiang Wuhen out.
“There is another cheat here! They are working together!” If Li Shaoqiu didn’t shout for Jiang Wuhen, it would still be okay for him, but the moment he did, the crowd recalled his existence and realized that if it wasn’t for the perfect acting of Jiang Wuhen’s accomplices, how would they have been so easily cheated?
“Pa!” A ruthless slap struck Li Shaoqiu’s face, making him spin two rounds on the spot and then he was instantly swallowed up by the crowd.
Sigh, this troublemaker. Everywhere he went, there would be people shouting to beat him up as if he was a rat crossing the street. Ling Chuxi knew that if she didn’t take action, those two were about to be nobly “sacrificed”. She could only rush over into the crowd helplessly to save them.
A surge of True Essence emitted from her body and as she passed through the crowd, everyone was shaken into retreating and a path opened up for her as the crowd parted.
“Stop!” called out Ling Chuxi’s voice containing the essence of True Qi. Everyone could feel the extraordinary and heavy suppression it carried and subconsciously stopped what they were doing.
“Just take back however much you have been cheated out of. If there isn’t enough, there is more here. I’ll be taking these two with me,” said Ling Chuxi as she took out a small stack of gold notes and put them on the table beside her. Thinking that these people were also innocent, Ling Chuxi did not wish to fight them. She didn’t have many other things currently, she only had money on her. But, she had a lot of it and this bit of money she was giving away was truly nothing much in her eyes.
