After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 166 This matter is difficult to settle

The boss was so scared that he stuttered and threatened, "You, don't come over here. I've already called the police and they'll be here soon. If you dare to touch me, I promise you'll be in big trouble!"

As he spoke, he looked around in panic to ensure his own safety...

It seemed like he was looking for something to protect himself, at least he could hold out for a while when the two people on the opposite side attacked him!

In the eyes of the boss, Chu Er approaching with a sword in hand looked no different from the devil who was taking his life.

He glanced at the window on the other side. Only the owner of the grain shop was inside, but the waiter who had spoken so arrogantly before was not there. It was obvious that what the owner said about reporting the matter to the police was not empty talk.

I guess he saw that the situation was not right, so he asked the waiter to go out through another door to inform others.

Chu Er turned his head to look at Chu Xi who was still being drenched in the rain behind him, and nodded slightly.

Chu Xi didn’t care whether this person reported to the police or not. She was more concerned about another issue.

The four people were quickly tied up by Chu Er who turned around and took a belt from one of them at random. It was really a bit of a stretch to tie four people together with just one belt.

Therefore, Chu Er was tied very tightly, and it was not easy for them to untie him even if they wanted to.

As for the dozen or so people who had been knocked to the ground and were drenched by the heavy rain, there were men and women, old and young. When they saw the rampant thugs being arrested, the boss was forced to shrink into the corner of the room.

I don't know when he found himself holding an abacus in his hand, trembling. If you didn't know him, you would think he was the one being bullied.

Chu Xi stepped over the threshold as if no one was around, not caring at all about getting wet by the rain. His cold eyes swept across the host who was trying to curl up into a ball.

But he did not stop looking at that person, instead he turned his gaze to the other side, "Open the granary."

The voice is clear and pleasant, with a clean and shallow tone that is difficult to tell whether it is androgynous.

But whether it was the frightened boss in the room, or the dozen or so people who followed Chu Xi in, none of them would regard the young man in front of them as a woman.

When the former heard Chu Xi's words, he felt as if a beheading knife was placed on his neck. His face turned pale and he trembled. He did not dare to refuse, nor did he dare to actually open the granary.

The latter were both happy and fortunate. They were happy because the money they gave could potentially be exchanged for real rice, and they were fortunate because...if they hadn't had the help of this young master today, they would have been beaten to death and would have found it difficult to get justice!

Even though the boss was so scared that he was trembling with fear, he still gritted his teeth and refused to agree to Chu Xi's request.

Chu Xi's eyes flickered slightly. This man refused to open the granary, either because the rice in the granary was almost the same as what they had in their hands, or he was pinning his hopes on other people, thinking that someone would come to rescue him soon.

She couldn't be sure which one it was for the time being, but the people behind her who had long been resentful saw that the thugs were tied up and could no longer obey their boss's orders, so they naturally swarmed over.

This time, of course, they didn't go in for a nice talk, but... returned the blows they had inflicted on them before to this unscrupulous boss.

The chubby middle-aged man had obviously never suffered such a beating before. He screamed in pain and shouted arrogantly from the beginning that he must retaliate against them and make them pay the price...

From the fact that he begged for mercy later on, we can see how deep the resentment people had towards him was.

For ordinary people, all they want is three meals a day, home-cooked meals, and peace and security for their family.

But the emperor in power now cannot fulfill their simple wishes, and the officials are abusing their power to amass wealth unscrupulously.

For officials, official position is no longer a duty to protect the people and seek welfare for the people, but a ladder that makes it easier for them to gain benefits from it.

Now that the owner of Yuanxi Grain Store openly did such a cruel and heinous thing, it would naturally cause public resentment. But he was so arrogant before that people took action directly.

Judging from their attire, most of them were wearing coarse linen clothes with many patches on them, so it seemed that their families were very poor.

Even though they didn't use up all the money in the family to buy rice this time, it was still a considerable expense for them, and it might take the whole family one or two years to save up enough money.

In this case, how many people can bear such a result? It would be a blessing that they didn't beat him to death.

Chu Xi tilted his head slightly.

The old woman had tears in her eyes and she stood a little far away. She was not in good health and could not squeeze in. She was pushed down several times and her waist was sprained.

If there was no one at home or no one else could come, no one would let an old man come here to buy rice.

She has a hungry grandson at home, and a son who was injured and retired from the battlefield with a disabled right leg. Both of them need her care, so...she cannot get hurt, and if she gets hurt, she has to go to the clinic.

Even though she hated the unscrupulous and black-hearted boss to the core, she still didn't squeeze in.

The scholar sat on the ground gasping for breath. He was the most seriously injured, with several scratches on his hands and his ankle was dislocated by a kick.

Chu Er first put the old woman's dislocated waist back into place, and then used the same method to fix the scholar's dislocated ankle.

Chu Xi understood the resentment in these people's hearts. They needed to vent. Moreover, considering this man's previous arrogance, it would be good for him to learn a lesson, so that he would not become more unscrupulous in the future and bully the people.

Seeing this, Chu Er behind her immediately stepped forward to stop these angry people and prevent them from continuing to commit violence.

"I know everyone hates him. If you want to beat him up, I won't stop you. But if someone dies, it will be hard to resolve. You all have families at home. Don't do anything impulsive for someone like him. It's not worth it."

Chu Xi spoke slowly, enunciating each word.

Her words temporarily calmed down the angry people who were stopped. They didn't understand the big principles, but Chu Xi's last sentence hit the point.

Who among those who come here to buy rice doesn’t have one or two family members at home?

If something happens to them, there will be no one to take care of the people at home, which is naturally not acceptable!

Besides, Chu Xi had just rescued them and was their savior, so they were willing to listen to Chu Xi's words!

After much thought, no matter how unwilling they were, they decided not to proceed.

The boss, who had been beaten many times, kept shrinking into the corner, fearing that the vulgar mob in front of him would continue to attack him.

Chu Xi gave Chu Er a look. Chu Er received the instruction and stepped forward without saying a word. He drew his sword and pointed it at the trembling Dong Jia, "Open the warehouse!"

He didn't say a word of unnecessary nonsense and was concise and to the point.
