Chapter 24

Yin Ashu was very angry, and the consequences were severe.

Yin Ashu, as his name suggests, was a small and thin man with a cunning and rat-like appearance, clearly not a good person. However, this cunning and rat-like man had a beautiful daughter... This "good daughter" fortuitously became Li Yuan's concubine, Lady Yin De.

Lady Yin De was one of Li Yuan's most favored concubines. With his daughter's status, Yin Ashu rose to become the father-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. From then on, this small man became powerful, arrogant, and lawless.

At the beginning of the year, Yin Ashu saw Li Shimin's trusted aide, Du Ruhui, passing by his door. Displeased with Du Ruhui, he directly ordered his henchmen to pull Du Ruhui off his horse and beat him severely, even breaking Du Ruhui's fingers.

Who was Du Ruhui? One of Li Shimin's most trusted advisors and the foremost among the eighteen scholars of Chang'an. Being beaten for no reason, how could Li Shimin, known for his fiery temper, tolerate it? But before he could take revenge, Li Yuan summoned him to the palace and scolded him harshly.

It turned out that after beating Du Ruhui, Yin Ashu went to complain to his daughter, Lady Yin De, accusing Du Ruhui of relying on Li Shimin's power, being arrogant, and bullying the Yin family's servants.

The pillow talk was lethal. Li Yuan completely disbelieved Li Shimin's defense and blamed Li Shimin and Du Ruhui for bullying others with their power.

Even a strong man like Li Shimin was helpless against a small man like Yin Ashu. If it weren't for Du Ruhui's understanding and advice to Li Shimin to endure the humiliation, Li Shimin would have been in a difficult position.

Li Yuan was deceived, but the people of the world knew the truth. After the incident, Yin Ashu's servants spread the word that the reason Yin Ashu was displeased with Du Ruhui and wanted to beat him was that Du Ruhui, a "low person," dared to ride past his house without dismounting to show respect.

With the attitude of "rather offend a gentleman than a small man," almost everyone began to avoid Yin Ashu, preferring to take a detour rather than pass by his house. If they had to pass, they would dismount and walk a segment.

Yin Ashu, seeing this, became even more lawless, treating the street in front of his house as a pedestrian zone. Anyone he dared to offend had to dismount and walk to show respect to him as the father-in-law.

Today, after returning from drinking, he saw a man riding a horse past his house, which immediately made him furious: "What a bold fellow." He gave an order, and his henchmen rushed at the man.

Luo Shixin was truly bewildered. This was his first time in Chang'an after his reincarnation, and even historically, Luo Shixin had only been there twice, and he had never been involved in any conflicts.

So, while controlling his horse to keep the henchmen at bay, Luo Shixin asked naively, "Did you guys recognize the wrong person?"

"Beat you!" A henchman, knocked off his horse by a kick, fell to the ground, feeling humiliated. He snatched a whip from a groom and lashed out at Luo Shixin with all his might.

Luo Shixin reached out and grabbed the whip, but the tip of the whip, affected by inertia, hit his hand, leaving a red mark.

Luo Shixin looked at the red mark on his hand, his anger rising. He pulled hard, and the henchman, unable to resist, flew through the air toward Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin caught the henchman with his left hand, lifted him like a chicken, and coldly laughed, "Beat me? With you?" He threw the henchman into the air and, with the whip he had taken, lashed it around the henchman's waist and threw him to the ground.

Luo Shixin's technique was so skillful that the henchman, unable to resist the inertia, spun on the ground like a top, knocking down half of the henchmen surrounding the horse.

Luo Shixin's move stunned the surrounding henchmen.

Seeing Luo Shixin dare to fight back, Yin Ashu, enraged, shouted, "How dare you fight back! Beat him to death!"

Luo Shixin, laughing in anger, thought, "If fighting back is lawless, then I'll show you lawlessness." He dismounted, slapped a henchman to the ground, kicked another like a cannonball, and with a few punches and kicks, knocked down seven henchmen.

At this moment, the door of a house behind him opened, and fifty people, wielding wooden sticks, rushed at Luo Shixin.

Luo Shixin, ignoring the numbers, charged at them, snatched a wooden stick, and started beating them like whack-a-moles. His movements were swift and powerful, and anyone who was hit fell to the ground, wailing and unable to get up.

Yin Ashu's henchmen, who were used to bullying the weak, had never encountered a truly brave warrior. In front of Luo Shixin, they were like grass, and even if there were ten times as many, they would not be a match for him.

Yin Ashu was terrified. In his early days, he was bullied by everyone, and once he gained power, he became psychologically twisted, taking pleasure in bullying others. He was so arrogant that even the famous Qin Wang Li Shimin had to endure his bullying, thinking he was invincible and that all the heroes in the world were nothing.

Now, seeing Luo Shixin beat his henchmen like swatting flies, a long-forgotten fear surged in his heart, and he even forgot to run.

Of course, even if he wanted to run, he would have to get past Luo Shixin.

This fight was莫名其妙 (nonsensical) for Luo Shixin, but since the other party wanted to fight, he would fight them thoroughly, no matter how many there were.

Let's see who can fight!

Luo Shixin was a man of blood and courage. After merging with Luo Shixin's consciousness, he not only inherited his martial arts but also his combative nature. Being surrounded and beaten for no reason, even a clay figure would have some anger, let alone Luo Shixin.

In fact, it was fortunate that Luo Shixin did not know the ridiculous reason for the attack; otherwise, he would have been even more ruthless.

Looking at the henchmen lying on the ground, wailing, Luo Shixin threw the stick to the ground and walked step by step toward Yin Ashu.

Yin Ashu opened his mouth, but he was so scared that he couldn't speak. He lost his balance and fell backward, his legs trembling, and his pants wet with urine, tears streaming down his face.

Luo Shixin frowned, feeling disgusted, and took a few steps back.

"Worthless!" He turned and mounted his horse, leaving.

Beating such a worthless person made Luo Shixin feel dirty.

It wasn't until Luo Shixin had left for a long time that Yin Ashu dared to take a deep breath and shouted, "You worthless scum, why don't you help me up? Who is he... I, I want revenge... revenge..." His voice was filled with sobs.
