Ding Landlord chuckled, having already taken this beauty as his own! This old man had no money and no food; if he didn't give his daughter to him, what else could he do?
The fifteen-year-old girl was extremely frightened, her body trembling continuously. She was quite pretty, with fair skin, but she was particularly frail, clearly having endured a lot of hardship.
Of course, everyone had heard about Fat Landlord in this city; he had committed numerous crimes and had even taken other people's daughters as his concubines, which was somewhat similar to the current situation.
He was a very lecherous man; once he had his fill of a woman, he would treat her as a Servant, forcing her to do hard labor.
She certainly wouldn't listen to his nonsense; he was just a big liar, and he looked so ugly—like a fat pig—that even if she were blind, she wouldn't marry him.
Seeing that many people had gathered around and were pointing fingers, Ding Landlord knew his reputation was at stake. He had to make the beauty agree to him; otherwise, it would truly tarnish his reputation.
Even though his reputation wasn't great and he was quite despicable, he couldn't let so many people see how obvious it was!
He shouted, "Beat this old man to death! Just leave him breathing; how dare he act like he has a reason for not paying back his debts?"
The two tall men continued to swing their fists and kick at the old man, who screamed in agony. The louder he cried out, the more the onlookers couldn't bear to watch!
They began pointing fingers even more! Ding Landlord was just a bully who preyed on the weak and had done countless bad deeds; it was truly outrageous. However, they didn't dare step in; they were just Common People, and intervening would only invite trouble.
As the old man was beaten to a pulp, wounds appeared on his face, blood streaming down in red streaks—it was a pitiful sight.
Suddenly, hundreds of Escort Army arrived! They looked quite imposing, stretching over a hundred meters away. Each one of them was tall and exuded an aura of valor.
The old man shouted, "Please have mercy, Official! This bully is here oppressing the weak and trying to take my daughter away! You must help me get her back; I would rather die than let this happen."
Still on the ground, he waved his hands in an attempt to attract the attention of the Imperial Guard riding Black Horses.
Seeing this, Ding Landlord became somewhat flustered. These were not ordinary Soldiers; they were from Tokyo City, far more formidable than the local Soldiers, with greater authority.
In front of the hundreds of Imperial Guards clad in Black Armor stood General Wang Xiang and Commander Zhang Mu, along with Duties of the Imperial Guard Commander Liu Xian.
Wang Xiang appeared to be oblivious to the situation. He had done similar things himself, but it was not with a fifteen-year-old girl; it was with a mature woman in her twenties, who was even more beautiful than this one.
This Landlord seemed truly lecherous, not even sparing girls of this age. What a beast! Continuing forward, he spat on the ground and pretended not to see. Such occurrences were too common and hardly worth his attention.
Commander Zhang Mu and Duties of the Imperial Guard Commander Liu Xian also proceeded forward. Such things were indeed quite common, not just in this city but even in Tokyo City, where similar incidents occurred from time to time.
They were escorting Qin Sir to Taiyuan, and the schedule was very tight. They had to hurry along without letting these matters delay their journey.
Behind the three of them were dozens of Imperial Guard Cavalry dressed in black armor and wearing Black Helmets, with red trousers below. They looked quite imposing, much stronger than the Soldiers in the city! The remaining Black Horse was also tall and robust.
Only behind these Imperial Guards was Qin Feng, who was sitting in the carriage with his head stretched out, watching what was happening ahead.
Ding Landlord saw that the three prominent figures ahead were not intervening, which relaxed his tense mood, allowing him to continue his mischief.
He waved his hand, signaling the two tall bodyguards to keep beating! The old man really looked frail; he didn't expect him to be so tough. This was just the first round; those ahead had already agreed long ago.
The two who had been somewhat fearful now stared blankly but regained their fierce demeanor, seizing the old man's body and striking him, causing screams to echo one after another.
The girl watched in fear, wanting to immediately agree to Ding Landlord's demands so that her Old Man would not be beaten. However, she was unwilling; he was so ugly that how could she agree to him?
If she became his concubine, after some time of play, she would have to do even harder and more exhausting work. It would truly be too painful!
The old man was equally unwilling! This Ding Landlord had been committing wrongdoings for many years; he couldn't believe there wasn't a good official who could put an end to him.
"Officials, please have mercy! This landlord has been bullying and oppressing people for many years. He is about to face consequences, and you really won't intervene?"
At this moment, two Imperial Guards stopped and looked on indifferently. The old man had been beaten badly, his face covered in blood, while the beautiful woman had some charm.
"The bully has taken your daughter and wants to make her his concubine. This is truly an act of wrongdoing! You, landlord, do you know your crimes?"
The tone was clearly not one of seeking justice but rather a cunning insinuation.
The two bodyguards quickly halted, looking terrified at these people, who seemed far more intimidating than themselves, and dared not continue their assault.
The old man below perked up, thinking he had truly encountered good officials who could punish this landlord. He began to recount how the landlord had violently taken his daughter; it was simply inhumane!
He slowly got up from the ground, covered in dust with blood on his face, making him appear somewhat unsteady.
Ding Landlord was indeed a cunning person who had been tyrannizing this city for many years. He could see that these two Imperial Guards were not good people either; they were definitely not here to help but were only after some benefits.
The expression on their faces clearly showed greed, not sympathy. If they wanted to help, they would have dismounted and dealt with those bodyguards already. Instead, they remained seated on their horses as if watching a show.
He hurried over, reached into his sleeve, and pulled out several strings of copper coins—probably several hundred coins!
"Officials, you don't know this old man; he is a complete scoundrel! He owes my Land Tax for a long time but refuses to pay. The only way to settle this is by taking his daughter as payment. Yet he still refuses—doesn't he want to pay his debts?"
"He started it first; if I don't teach him a lesson, will he behave? I see you must have important matters to attend to; perhaps you should hurry on your way!"
The two Imperial Guards quickly stuffed the coins into their sleeves. What a sensible fellow! No wonder he could be so domineering for all these years; he must possess some wisdom!
"So this is a scoundrel after all; I thought he was an honest citizen. It seems I misjudged you. Since he refuses to pay, we can only proceed like this. We do have urgent matters at hand; let’s continue our journey!"
He quickly turned around, driving away the Black Horse, and walked forward. He managed to get some money, which was not bad at all.
The colleagues beside him were envious; these two thought he had a kind heart, but unexpectedly, he remained unrepentant.
The old man's face was still bleeding red, his body trembling. He had been hit too hard earlier and was still calling for the Imperial Guards to come back and save him! But no one responded!
The people in the surroundings couldn't bear to watch any longer. This time, Ding Landlord was really angered; this guy hadn't been this furious in a long time.
Ding Landlord stormed toward him, like an old cat seeing a mouse, wishing he could bite him to death in one go.
This old man didn't have to pay anything, but he still attracted the Soldiers, causing himself to lose several hundred coins for nothing. It was truly infuriating.
He said, "You all give it your all and beat this old man to death! It's just too ridiculous! Thinking those passersby would save you? They have important matters to attend to; you're definitely going to die today."
The old man was truly frightened; Ding Landlord looked like a monster, and his words terrified him even more. He realized that disaster was imminent.
The two bodyguards also perked up, finally understanding that no one would help this old man—a farmer who couldn't even protect his daughter—what was he still living for?
They grabbed him again and started throwing punches and kicks, each one harder than the last, making him scream in agony.
