Chapter 26: Bandit, take care of yourself

  The inn owner rushed up the stairs and saw two people upstairs wrestling towards the outside. The inn owner thought it was not good, so he hurried forward to mediate.

  "Two gentlemen, you were fine when you came in, how did you end up fighting each other now? Quick, let go! It's not good to fight here!"

  The two guests did not listen to the inn owner and continued to fight, moving down the stairs as they struggled.

  Those two didn't look very good, one was short and fat, the other was tall and thin, with small eyes, giving a bad impression. However, Hua Lang also knew that judging people by appearance wasn't good, so he didn't say much about it.

  The two of them wrestled even more fiercely, almost knocking the innkeeper to the ground. Hua Lang saw this and picked up a cup of tea, saying to Wen Meng: "Miss Wen, these two people are making quite a commotion, aren't they disturbing our pleasant gathering?"

  Wen Meng understood the meaning of Hua Lang, she smiled and nodded slightly: "This is natural, since they disturbed our elegant gathering, let's give them a lesson!" As she spoke, Wen Meng suddenly threw out the two chopsticks in her hand, and those two chopsticks hit the backs of the hands of the two people who were entwined together with a loud slapping sound. The two people felt a piercing pain, and immediately separated.

  However, after they parted ways, the spearhead suddenly pointed at Wen Meng. The two of them glared at Wen Meng and shouted: "Who are you to dare interfere with our business?"

  Wen Meng smiled faintly, not deigning to respond to them. Meanwhile, Hua Lang turned around and asked, "Why are you two struggling like this? And now you're moving towards the outside of the inn, aren't you trying to escape because you don't have money to pay the rent?"

  As soon as Hwa-lang said this, the innkeeper suddenly gained courage and came up to them: "Right, you haven't paid your room rent yet. First pay the rent and food money, then leave my inn. You can fight all you want after that."

  The two of them looked at each other and one of them said, "Just a little rent, we can't afford it." As he spoke, the man took out a few silver coins from his body and threw them to the innkeeper, asking, "Is that enough?"

  One or two silver coins would naturally be enough, and the innkeeper nodded repeatedly to pick up the silver coins. At this time, those two people immediately pointed their spearheads at Hualang again, saying: "You're just a poor scholar, how dare you interfere with our affairs? Are you tired of living?"

  The young scholar smiled faintly: "Although I am a bookworm, I am not poor and sour, so I have to trouble the two of you to accumulate some virtue, and you should thank me too."

  The two were immediately bewildered, Hualang's men beat them up, and they still wanted to thank Hualang, what kind of logic is this?

  "Th-thank... thank you?" Another person spoke up, and as soon as he did, it was clear that he stuttered.

  Hualang nodded: "Of course you should thank me, if it wasn't for me, the two of you would still be fighting now, right?"

  Those two men only realized they had been fooled by Hua Lang after hearing his words. They exchanged a glance, and suddenly attacked Hua Lang together. The two big men didn't believe they couldn't handle one scholar.

  They were too careless, although Hualang was a bookworm, Wēn Mèng was a female chivalrous hero, would she allow others to beat up her Hualang?

  Those two had just made their move when Wen Meng suddenly picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table and attacked, first using one chopstick to deflect a pair of fists, then using the chopsticks to pinch another person's fingers, pinching that person's fingers so painfully.

  At this time, Wen Meng kicked out with one foot and kicked them both out.

  The two saw that things were going badly and wanted to escape, but at this moment, Wen Meng suddenly said coldly: "Halt!"

  Wen Meng's words were like a kind of magic, and the two people wanted to escape but couldn't. In the end, they could only stand still. After the two stood still, Wen Meng sat down immediately and handed over what happened next to Hua Lang.

  Hualang glanced at the two of them, although they had been struggling and just now wanted to hit themselves, but each of their hands never left a package. Looking at the package, it was heavy, what was inside?

  Hualang gazed at the two of them with a faint smile and said, "What are you two fighting about?"

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and finally looked at Ye Xing and asked, "Do you have anything to do with this?"

  Hualang nodded: "Originally didn't want to intervene, but you disturbed our elegant gathering, so we thought of finding out the truth."

  The two of them said: "We didn't fight for any reason, we just had a disagreement in our conversation for a moment, and it led to this awkward situation."

  Hualang coldly smiled: "I'm afraid it's because of the burden in your hands!"

  As soon as the flower vendor mentioned the package, the two of them hastily leaned in closer and grasped the package even tighter. Meanwhile, while the flower vendor was saying these words, he used his peripheral vision to steal a glance at Bao Zheng, who was also looking at them with an approving expression on his face.

  "It's not because of the burden, this burden is ours, what's there to quarrel about." The fat and short man hastily explained himself, but judging from his expression, it was clear that there was definitely something fishy going on.

  "You say this bundle belongs to both of you, then please let the two of you take out everything in the bundle and have a look!" Hua Lang said, stepping forward to grab their bundles. The two men originally wanted to dodge, but when they saw Wen Meng's sharp eyes, they immediately handed over the bundles.

  "Alright, now if you two have anything to say, please speak up. If what you say is even slightly different, I will not only return this burden to you, but also give you one hundred taels of silver as compensation, how about that?"

  Although one hundred taels of silver is a lot, the flower boy can still afford it. Moreover, he thinks that these two people cannot say anything, just by looking at how they are holding onto their bundles, you can tell that they must have had a conflict because of the bundle. But how can one bundle belong to two people? Even if the things inside the bundle belong to both of them, can't they just split it again?

  But they didn't separate and still put it in a bundle, which is quite strange. Moreover, when the flower boy came to persuade them to stop fighting, the two people who were originally wrestling suddenly stood on the same line again. From these signs, it can be seen that the two men had conflicts because of the bundle, and this bundle was very likely to have been snatched or stolen by them, and they were originally going to divide the spoils, but for a moment they didn't get an equal share, and a conflict arose.

  Hualang thought so, and raised his eyes to look at the two of them. At this time, their faces were extremely ugly, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say was good. Just as Hualang was about to urge them on, the two of them suddenly stared wide-eyed, and before Hualang could react to their intentions, they suddenly turned around and rushed towards Bao Heizi.
