Chapter 165 Young Master, You Can’t Do This
"If I see you fighting again, I don't mind cutting off this extra hand for you." Chu Xi seldom said such sharp and ruthless words. As he spoke, his eyes swept coldly over the two hands he had held.
"Who are you? What does this have to do with you?" The boss suppressed his fear and pretended to be calm as he rebuked Chu Xi, "If you don't want to die, leave now!"
Chu Xi glanced sideways at the person who was speaking. The man was short, probably less than 1.6 meters tall, chubby, and had two jade rings on his hands. The quality was not top-notch, but it was pretty good.
The fat man must have gained this by unscrupulously defrauding the people, compared to those scholars and old ladies who were beaten to the point of being unable to fight back, and whose faces turned yellow and thin due to hunger.
He is just huge!
"You are a bad businessman and a bad person. People like you deserve to be killed!" Chu Xi said slowly.
Dong Jia didn't dare to look into Chu Xi's eyes. The more he looked, the more he felt an invisible suffocating fear, especially when Chu Xi finished his last sentence, the fear reached its peak.
His legs were shaking and he almost fell to the ground.
"What does that have to do with you? There are so many things going on in the world, how can you manage them all? Besides..." The boss swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm while raising his voice, "I'm not the only one selling moldy old rice in this city!"
Chu Xi's eyes darkened when he heard this.
She knew that such things were too common. Whether it was on the way from the capital to Xi'an to take up her post, or the current chaos in Xi'an, everything told her the sadness of this era.
She could save one, two, but not everyone.
But even so, she still couldn't bear to see such a thing happen under her nose.
The two men suddenly fell to their knees, feeling like their knees were about to break, let alone fighting back.
How are they going to fight back?
The young man in front of them, who looked fair and clean, was so powerful when he attacked that the two of them together couldn't even touch a finger of the young man.
"Quick! Catch this man for me!" The boss was a middle-aged man with a kind face, but only when he smiled. Once he had a gloomy face, his face became hideous and distorted.
Especially at this moment, he pointed his chubby finger at Chu Xi, and his voice sounded sharp and unpleasant because of his anxiety.
Obviously, Chu Xi's appearance disrupted his plans.
Maybe he had guessed that one day he would be exposed, so he hired several strong men early on to ensure that there would be no one to stand in the way when others started making trouble.
However, he did not expect that what he imagined was very different from what actually happened.
A young man who came out of nowhere actually came to his territory and meddled in other people's business!
"Catch him, tie him up and send him to the government!" The boss kept talking about sending him to the government.
Such behavior would naturally attract Chu Xi's attention. It was obvious that the owner of the grain shop had done such a daring and shameless thing, and not only did he not feel guilty, he was also extremely rampant!
There must be something fishy going on.
Either he had already bribed the government officials with money, and the government is now in cahoots with him. Even if he was really wrong, these victims would only be accused of false accusations when they go to the government to file a complaint.
Or...the backer behind this boss is the government, which means that the real owner of Yuanxi Grain Shop is probably the officials in the city.
So they will not care and will allow such things to continue to happen.
Chu Xi curled her lips, but this smile was cold and heartless. "This is the first time I've heard of someone doing something sinister and being so self-righteous!"
No wonder the most serious criticism of history in later generations was the darkness under which officials protected each other and the people could not see the sky.
There are also the most common ills in feudal society!
"That's because you are ignorant. I bought fresh rice. It was you, a bunch of greedy people, who deliberately wanted to frame my grain shop. I believe the county magistrate will give me a fair trial."
Chu Er never cared what other people said and just followed the prince's orders.
After hearing the boss's distortion of right and wrong, I couldn't stand it anymore.
He glanced coldly at the grain shop owner who was trying to continue talking nonsense.
When the host saw that the young man was followed by a guard holding a long sword and looked very imposing, his heart immediately skipped a beat.
An ordinary escort is so imposing, I'm afraid this young master has a complicated background. No matter what, the matter has been exposed, he must not let these two people go!
This bad premonition told him that he must catch the two men quickly, otherwise something bad would happen.
When Chu Er saw the owner of the grain shop next to him change his face and yell at the other two thugs to come forward to help, his target was Chu Xi. Without thinking, he threw the long sword in his hand over without saying a word.
The long sword was aimed at the calves of the two strong men and hit them so hard that they had no time to dodge and their feet were numbed by the long sword.
The two of them fell forward out of control and landed in the mud. Add to that the heavy rain and they actually drank some dirty water on the ground.
They looked extremely miserable. Not only that, but when one of them was trying to struggle to stand up, Chu Er ruthlessly stepped on the other's back.
Just like they had ruthlessly beaten those honest people who were unable to resist before, Chu Er did not show any mercy when he attacked them.
The scholar next to them, who had been beaten to the point of being unable to breathe without doing anything, lying on the ground with a bruised face and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, felt very relieved to see them end up like this!
Chu Xi helped the old woman up. Her clothes were already wet. She gave her oil-paper umbrella to her without saying a word.
The old woman was old, and after being pushed by the strong man, her waist hurt so much. She held the umbrella given by Chu Xi in her hand, and ignored the pain in her waist. She said in panic, "Young Master, you can't do this, you can't do this."
Chu Xi didn't say anything righteous, but just silently glanced at the old woman's hands that were so shriveled that only bones were left.
What makes people despair is never who is in power, but whether the person on the dragon throne cares about the people's livelihood and whether he thinks that the people are his own people!
It is obvious that the current Emperor Tianwu has no hope of being wise, and he cannot even be qualified.
"Chu Er."
Chu Er understood what Chu Xi meant immediately without Chu Xi saying much.
The boss was so frightened that he instinctively took several steps back, and there was a bit more fear in his eyes when he looked at Chu Er.
Chu Er picked up his sword and turned his cold eyes to the pale-faced boss. Without saying a word, he stepped closer and walked into the grain shop.
Silence was better than words at this moment. The more he kept silent, the more frightened his boss was.
He was particularly afraid that the next sword in the man's hand would be aimed at him!
