Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 119 The City Lord's Mansion Saves Shi Qingshan

He wrapped the notebook in a large envelope and turned to the city lord.

"Use your men to deliver this item to the Eighth Prince at top speed. I will stay here for three days, and I want to see a result that satisfies me after three days."

Upon receiving the letter, the city lord dared not delay and immediately ordered his men to expedite the process.

After doing all this, the city lord respectfully asked Chu Chen, "What should we do with the Tang family?"

"What does the city lord think? Harming the people and exploiting the locals, Zhou Heng must have lost his mind to choose such a person."

Upon hearing this young master dare to address the Eighth Prince by his full name, the city lord couldn't help but feel worried.

“Young Master, I have also seen that the Tang family has become far too arrogant in recent years, but I am in a very difficult position because of the Eighth Prince.”

Then, he told Chu Chen about many of the absurd things the Tang family had done in the past few years.

But most of it was done by Tang Maofei.

But every time he got into trouble, Tang Ting would bail him out.

Therefore, the city lord had no way to deal with the Tang family.

"Alright, you're just too cowardly. I won't make things difficult for you, and the letter didn't say anything about making things difficult for you."

After saying that, Chu Chen waited quietly to the side for the yamen runners to bring the person in.

A short while later, Shi Qingshan, covered in dirt, was brought before the group.

"Big brother, is that you? Big brother."

Upon seeing Shi Qingshan, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, the two women, disregarding their own dirt, immediately embraced him.

"You are Chunxiang and Qiuju?"

"Yes, it's us, brother, you've suffered."

"Hurry up, leave Andu quickly, hurry..." They hadn't even had time to experience the joy of reuniting with their loved ones.

Shi Qingshan suddenly shouted at the two of them.

At this moment, the city lord walked over and said, "Young Master Shi, the villain is dead, you are safe."

"Are we safe now?" Shi Qingshan, having regained his senses, looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

A young, wealthy man was looking at him with a smile.

So he quickly asked Chu Chen, "And who is this young master?"

“This is our sister’s husband, Chu Chen. Brother, he is the one who saved you.”

After Chunxiang finished speaking, Shi Qingshan knelt down before Chu Chen and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young master."

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately helped him up.

"It's nothing, and besides, their problems are my problems too."

He turned to the city lord and shouted, "Find me a clean set of clothes and a place to wash up!"

"Right, right, how could I forget that? Young Master Shi, please go with him to wash up and change your clothes."

After he finished speaking, a yamen runner led Shi Qingshan out of the study.

"I have yet to ask the city lord's name."

After Shi Qingshan left, Chu Chen said to the city lord, "No matter what, this is still the official in charge of Andu City."

When Shi Qingshan and the others are going to live in Andu City, they'll have to rely on others.

"This humble official, Mu Zheng, greets Young Master Chu." I knew Chu Chen's name from the two sisters' introduction of her brother.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen took out a glass ornament from his backpack and handed it to Mu Zheng.

"It's our first meeting, and I don't have anything nice with me. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Mu Zheng focused his gaze on the ornament, which was clear and spotless; it was indeed top-quality glass.

Who exactly is this young master Chu? Not only does he carry an imperial gold medal with him, but he also casually takes out such a valuable item.

He quickly said, "I am unworthy to receive such a great gift. Please, Young Master Chu, take it back."

"It's alright. Although this thing is precious, it's not all just material possessions. Please accept it."

Ultimately, under Chu Chen's insistence, Mu Zheng accepted the ornament.

He carefully placed it on the display shelf and gave an instruction to the attendant beside him.

"Young Master Chu, ladies, it's almost lunchtime. Why don't you stay for a simple meal?"

Chu Chen looked up at the sky and saw that it was already noon, so he nodded in agreement.

At the dinner table, Shi Qingshan looked at everyone with a nervous expression.

He sighed at his ill-fated destiny, for just a moment he was in that stinking prison cell, gnawing on a cold, spoiled bun.

Right now, he's sitting at the same table having a meal with the city lord of Andu City.

This is too surreal; it feels like I'm in a dream.

And all of this was bestowed upon him by the young man before him.

It seems that these two younger sisters must have gotten close to high-ranking officials in the palace.

After the meal, Chu Chen drove the two women and Shi Qingshan towards the village.

Seeing the rapidly moving metal shell, Shi Qingshan was terrified once again.

This gave the two women a good explanation, which instantly made Chu Chen's image much more impressive in Shi Qingshan's mind.

"Brother Shi, what kind of business did you do before the accident?" Chu Chen asked Shi Qingshan.

"Brother-in-law, during the busy farming season I work the land, and in my spare time I push a small cart into the city to trade some mountain products and the like."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately had an idea.

If Zhou Heng had listened to him, it would have been better to give the refined salt business to Qingshan.

But it's not enough for him to do it alone; he needs someone to take care of him. The best choice is Mu Zheng.

So they didn't say anything more, and the car drove all the way to the dilapidated courtyard.

Upon meeting, they inevitably burst into tears again, embracing each other.

That evening, a dining table was set up outside the yard. After the incident, only an old woman remained in the family.

All the money has been spent on finding connections and favors.

So when they smelled the aroma of the meat, the three women's mother couldn't help but shed tears.

“Young master, I have no way to repay your great kindness. These two girls have been able to endure hardship since they were little, so from now on they will stay by your side and serve you well.”

The old woman held Chu Chen's hand tightly; it was clear she was truly grateful.

This made Chu Chen feel a little embarrassed.

So he quickly pressed the old man into a chair: "Please don't say that. This is what I should do. Since they've come with me, they won't suffer. Don't worry."

Shi Qingshan also picked up his wine glass and stood up, saying, "Brother-in-law, I, Shi Qingshan, may not have much else, but I do have a lot of strength. If you need my help, just ask me to do it."

What's wrong with this family? They've made me feel so embarrassed.

Chu Chen drank the wine and turned to Chunxiang and Qiuju.

"You two can choose for yourselves: stay in Andu to take care of Mother, or come with me to Qingyun City."

Actually, it didn't really matter to Chu Chen whether he brought the two of them along or not.

He doesn't lack women; if they want freedom, why not give them freedom?

When the two sisters heard Chu Chen say this, they thought that they had done something wrong and that Chu Chen didn't want them anymore.

So she quickly stood up and said, "Wherever you are, young master, we sisters will be there too. Mother has my brother to take care of her, so there's no need for us."

Okay, since you insist, then take it with you.

So they drove there overnight and arrived in Andu City.

I found a guesthouse and settled in.

It wasn't that Chu Chen disliked the village, but he was genuinely worried that the dilapidated houses would collapse if he lived there.

The innkeeper looked at Chu Chen, who had brought two women and only booked a superior room, and showed an envious expression.
