A New Dawn for the Whitlocks Chapter 22

A group of bandits rushed into a village. Behind them, the bandit leader Lao Si shouted, "Second Shopkeeper!" The horse team stopped. The second shopkeeper turned his horse around and saw a pretty female boss, Lily Summers. Lily Summers asked, "What's the matter, Lao Si?" Lao Si rode over and said, "Jiang Paotou asked us to wait for a while." Lily Summers said, "After smashing the kiln, we should leave quickly. What are you waiting for?" Lao Si smiled and approached Lily Summers, saying a few words. Lily Summers's face changed. She waved to the bandits and said, "Go back!" The horse team turned back the same way.

Lily Summers and the bandits rushed into the yard and jumped off their horses. Lily Summers shouted, "Jiang Paotou! Come out!" Jiang Paotou walked out of the main house, tying his belt as he walked, and said, "Hey, this young wife is quite attractive." A young wife crawled out of the house to the door and cursed, "Bandits! Animals! You will be struck by lightning..." Lily Summers was furious and pulled out his revolver and said, "Jiang Paotou, you broke the rules, I will shoot you!" Seeing this, Lao Si grabbed Lily Summers's arm holding the gun. The gun fired and the bullet shot into the sky. Several bandits stepped forward to dissuade him, saying, "Second shopkeeper, please spare him this time!" "Second shopkeeper, let's go back to the mountain and talk about it!" "Let the chief shopkeeper deal with it when we get back!" Jiang Paotou looked at Lily Summers with contempt and said, "Yes, the chief shopkeeper has the final say on whether to kill or chop him up!" Lily Summers sneered and said, "Okay! I'll listen to the chief shopkeeper!" He then ordered the bandits, "Tie him up!"

On the mountain road, Lily Summers led the horse team back to the mountain stronghold. Lily Summers's horse dragged a rope behind him, and the rope was tied to Jiang Paotou who was tied up. Jiang Paotou staggered and walked, still with a stubborn look on his face. Lao Si jumped off the horse beside Jiang Paotou and said: "Old Jiang, just give in." Jiang Paotou said: "I give in to her? A woman!" Back to the Erlongshan stronghold, the chief shopkeeper and several bandits came out of the mountain gate. Lily Summers and the bandits got off the horse. The chief shopkeeper said: "Second shopkeeper, you have worked hard! How is it? Did the kiln make a loud noise when it was smashed?" Lily Summers said: "It made a lot of noise!" The chief shopkeeper said: "This is your first time leading people out, and I was worried that you would smash a dumb kiln!" Lily Summers said: "Little Cai'er!" The tied Jiang Paotou rushed over. His clothes were torn and his face was covered with blood.

He called out "Big Brother" and knelt down to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said: "What happened? You look like a blood gourd." Lily Summers said: "Let him speak for himself!" Jiang Paotou said: "I, I slept with a young wife..." The shopkeeper said: "You..." Jiang Paotou said: "Shopkeeper, this is the only time. It won't happen again." The shopkeeper kicked Jiang Paotou down and said angrily: "Look at you! You can't even control the thing in your crotch! Put him in a cage!"

Back in Erlong Hall, Lily Summers had a big argument with the chief shopkeeper. The chief shopkeeper said, "What? You want to kill Jiang Paotou?" Lily Summers said, "If several brothers hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him on the spot!" The chief shopkeeper said, "He is the leader of our four pillars, Paotou!" Lily Summers said, "He should know the rules even more! It is a capital crime to suppress others!" The chief shopkeeper said, "I have beaten him and punished him, so just let him go. You want to establish the power of the second shopkeeper, so I am giving you face. I will lock him up for three days!" Lily Summers said, "Zhen Sanjiang, do you still want your gang? If they keep making such a mess, how dare we report ourselves in the underworld?" The chief shopkeeper said, "Lily Summers, why are you so anxious? In fact, I am also annoyed by their nonsense. But they are all brothers, there is no need to be too serious about it." Lily Summers took off his revolver, threw it on the table, and said, "Well, Zhen Sanjiang, just hang out with your brothers, I'm leaving!" Lily Summers walked away.
