The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 305 Refuting Viewpoints

Chapter 305 Refuting Viewpoints

Although Yi Zhonghai also wanted to see He Yuzhu deal with Li Qin, he knew that it absolutely could not be today.

Otherwise, He Yuzhu's reputation for being abusive would be completely cemented.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai immediately reached out to stop He Yuzhu, while shouting loudly:

"Zhu Zi, what are you doing? Stop right now!"

It must be said that He Yuzhu truly respects Yi Zhonghai.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai spoke, He Yuzhu stopped moving instantly.

However, He Yuzhu continued to stare at Li Qin with a fierce gaze.

"hehe!"

Upon seeing this, Li Qin uttered a few sarcastic remarks.

He gave He Yuzhu a deep look, and then seemed to say something unconsciously;

"And this is considered good character? If such a person truly has character, then I've certainly seen it for myself."

He Yuzhu, who had just been stopped by Yi Zhonghai, wanted to make a move again upon hearing Li Qin's words.

However, this time Yi Zhonghai held onto her arm tightly.

Despite He Yuzhu's constant boasting that he is the "God of War of the Courtyard," he can only bully the younger generation.

If you include the older generation, there are quite a few people in the courtyard who can suppress He Yuzhu, but these people are a generation older than He Yuzhu after all.

I'm sorry to hold a grudge against He Yuzhu.

As the saying goes, when the cat's away, the mice will play.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, like He Yuzhu.

It's worth noting that many people in the courtyard worked in the steel rolling mill, doing heavy manual labor, such as Liu Haizhong in the backyard.

Those were forging workers at a steel rolling mill; their main job every day was wielding sledgehammers.

What you build up over time is strength.

If He Yuzhu were to compete with Liu Haizhong in strength, even if he wasn't completely overwhelmed, he definitely wouldn't win.

Although Yi Zhonghai is a fitter, his strength may not be as great as Liu Haizhong's, but it is definitely not small either, especially since Yi Zhonghai is currently at his physical peak.

In contrast, He Yuzhu is in his growth period.

So Yi Zhonghai easily grabbed He Yuzhu.

After stopping He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai turned his gaze to Li Qin again.

At that moment, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

No one except Li Qin noticed this.

Li Qin nodded to himself.

"That's right, this is how Yi Zhonghai should be. His hypocritical demeanor is disgusting."

He was well aware that Yi Zhonghai was dissatisfied with him;

If Yi Zhonghai targets him openly and fairly, Li Qin will feel uncomfortable, but he will deal with it normally.

However, Yi Zhonghai always remained in the shadows, and even when his dissatisfaction reached its peak, he still had to appear kind.

This made him feel uncomfortable.

After giving Li Qin a deep look, Yi Zhonghai finally spoke:

"Li Qin, I believe everyone knows what kind of person Zhu Zi is, so you should say less."

Even at this point, Yi Zhonghai was still covering for He Yuzhu.

However, Li Qin's reminder, coupled with He Yuzhu's behavior just now, made it clear to everyone what kind of person he was.

Yi Zhonghai's current actions are tantamount to burying his head in the sand.

Li Qin showed a disdainful expression on his face.

However, he did not pursue the matter further.

"Since you put it that way, sir, let's put aside He Yuzhu's character and conduct for now, and talk about other things."

Li Qin looked at the people around him again;

"I find it rather strange. Since when can facts be established based solely on someone else's words? Don't we need to provide any evidence?"

At this point, Li Qin pointed to Xu Damao beside him and continued;

"Just now, He Yuzhu accused Xu Damao, and I wanted to ask him what evidence he had? He can't just make things up based on what he says, can he?"

Even when the police are investigating a case, they still need to rely on evidence.

Upon hearing Li Qin say this, He Yuzhu immediately became anxious;

He immediately spoke;

"I clearly saw Xu Damao's actions just now. Can't that be considered evidence?"

"Of course it can't be used as evidence!" Li Qin shook his head firmly, then continued;

"Given your relationship with Xu Damao, no one can guarantee the credibility of your words. If you can provide other evidence:"

Then we accept your accusations against Xu Damao.

Although the country enacted laws during this period, long-standing beliefs and habits still led people to follow the rule of man.

It has not fully transformed into the rule of law.

Therefore, in the past, many things in the courtyard house were mainly based on people's subjective will.

But Li Qin's words have now shattered this convention.

This caused everyone in the courtyard to show thoughtful expressions.

Li Qin's actions were tantamount to challenging the authority of the several senior officials in charge.

Or to be more precise, it shattered the residents' awe of the steward.

This is unacceptable to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's face immediately turned extremely gloomy.

He wanted to refute Li Qin's words, but he couldn't.

Because Li Qin's stance in saying this is perfectly sound, based on laws and regulations, and no one can find fault with it anywhere.

Yi Zhonghai now just wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible to prevent the residents of the courtyard from being truly "awakened" by Li Qin.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai quickly spoke up;

"It's just a small thing that happened in our yard, nothing as serious as you're making it out to be."

Upon hearing this, before Li Qin could even speak, Xu Damao spoke first;

"A small matter? You're going too far, old man. What Sha Zhu is talking about concerns my reputation."

Is this considered a minor matter?

Of course, this might be a small matter for you, sir, but for me, it's a matter of utmost importance.

The more Xu Damao spoke, the more agitated he became, and the more hostile his gaze toward Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu grew.

Xu Damao knew that what He Yuzhu had said this time, he had indeed done.

However, in the past, whenever Xu Fugui was not around, any conflict with He Yuzhu would always end with him suffering a loss.

For a long time, Xu Damao had been harboring a lot of resentment.

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Yi Zhonghai showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

His gaze toward Xu Damao instantly turned serious.

To be honest, he actually looked quite imposing.

Being watched by Yi Zhonghai made Xu Damao feel somewhat uneasy.

However, thinking of Li Qin beside him, Xu Damao immediately puffed out his chest and looked at He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai with unfriendly eyes again.

Seeing that Xu Damao was not intimidated by his gaze, a hint of surprise flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

You should know that in the past, if he had shown this side of himself, Xu Damao would have definitely backed down.

Unexpectedly, this tactic failed today.

Yi Zhonghai subconsciously glanced at Li Qin beside him.

He knew that Xu Damao's transformation was entirely due to Li Qin.

This made Yi Zhonghai even more dissatisfied with Li Qin.

However, Li Qin is not as easy to control as the other residents in the courtyard. If you are not careful, you will be controlled by him.

Therefore, even though Yi Zhonghai knew that Li Qin was the source of the chaos, he did not dare to attack Li Qin casually for the time being.
