Chapter 311 Angry

Jiang Yu's expression became more and more distorted. He only held the broken knife in his hand and rushed towards Chu Jinnian.

"What do you know?"

"Do you know how it feels to be nearly hacked to death on the battlefield? Do you know the pain of being trampled by horse hooves? Do you know how sad it is to see your friends and relatives die in front of you?"

"You don't understand, you don't understand at all!"

"You only know how to look down on others and point fingers at others, but you have no idea that the peace of the land you stand on was bought with our blood and lives!"

"I'm going to kill you, all of you damned officials!"

Jiang Yu's eyes were bloodshot and blood oozed from his teeth due to excessive gritting. He roared in indignation and spat out mouthfuls of blood foam. His chin suddenly turned deep red, which, combined with his extremely ferocious face, was very horrifying.

Chu Jinnian glanced at him, raised his hand to sheath the sword, and threw it to Jing Zhao beside him, "Take care of this place."

"Yes, young master." Jing Zhao put away his sword and took the knife in his hand to deal with Jiang Yu.

Although Jiang Yu was once a centurion who fought bravely and was quite strong and skilled, Jing Zhao was a top-notch fighter beside Chu Jinnian. He only needed two moves to kick Jiang Yu to the ground and put the knife in his hand on his neck.

Jiang Yu's previous anger and indignation were now completely dissipated by the coldness on his neck.

His face turned pale, and he opened his mouth hastily, "Please spare my life, young man, please spare my life, I will never dare to do it again..."

"My young master was right just now. People like you are indeed bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. You are afraid of death." Jing Zhao looked down on Jiang Yu and kicked him unconscious.

Liu Er, who was holding the bow and arrow, had been stunned by what he saw. Now he came to his senses and hurriedly pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back.

Jing Zhao sneered, pulled out a willow-leaf dart from his waist and threw it out casually.

The dart hit Liu Er's wrist right on target. Liu Er felt the pain and groaned, and the arrow in his hand fell to the ground.

"Tie up these two men, along with the three criminals, and send them to the county government office and hand them over to Magistrate Xu. Also ask Magistrate Xu to take good care of the unconscious people in the two carriages and help them find their families."

Jing Zhao instructed his two followers, "Also, tell Magistrate Xu to follow the clues and find out where the people who bought and sold the river fish went. Try to find them and reunite their families."

"Yes." The two attendants responded and hurried to do their work according to Jing Zhao's instructions.

Seeing this, Jing Zhao took Chu Jinnian's sword and turned around. "I have made all the arrangements. Young Master, let's..."

Hey, where is the eldest son?

Jing Zhao found that Chu Jinnian's figure had long disappeared from his sight, but he could vaguely hear the sound of horse hooves gradually fading away in the distance.

It seems that Chu Jinnian has already walked back.

Yes, the shopkeeper Zhuang was drugged and unconscious. He needs to find a clean and comfortable place as soon as possible to have a good rest.

And after they deal with this matter, they have to rush back as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Jing Zhao hurriedly jumped on his horse, raised his whip, and went after Chu Jinnian.

At this time, Chu Jinnian clamped his legs around the horse's belly to make the horse go faster.

But if the horse walked a little faster, it would be quite bumpy, which made Zhuang Qingning, who was unconscious in sleep, frown.

The frown made Chu Jinnian feel extremely uncomfortable, so he had to slow down a little and simply used his other hand to completely support Zhuang Qingning, letting the horse move forward slowly.

The night was dark and the surroundings were silent.

The sound of the horses' hooves moving forward was quite rhythmic, and it seemed quite pleasant in the fields on such a night.

Especially the bright moonlight pouring down all over the ground, adding a layer of haziness to the entire earth. Everything around seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, magnificent.

Including Zhuang Qingning in his arms.

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t seen her for a while and her appearance has changed slightly, or because the night view tonight is too beautiful, Chu Jinnian just feels that Zhuang Qingning seems to be more beautiful than the last time he saw her.

The beauty is beyond description.

Chu Jinnian felt like his heart almost skipped a beat and couldn't help but take another look.

It seemed that this was the first time he had looked at a woman at such a close distance, and it also seemed that this was the first time in his life that he had such physical contact with a woman.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in Chu Jinnian's heart.

"Young Master." Jing Zhao caught up at this time.

"Yeah." Chu Jinnian hurriedly raised his head to look at the road ahead, looking a little panicked.

Fortunately, it was very dark at night, and Jing Zhao didn't notice anything. He just slowed down and said, "My lord, I have already asked someone to deal with it. Don't worry, my lord."

"Yeah." Chu Jinnian nodded slightly.

He looked a little absent-minded.

After receiving the letter from Qingzhuyuan, Chu Jinnian traveled day and night to come back, and he must be quite tired at this time.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jing Zhao felt very distressed and said hurriedly, "Young Master, you must have had a hard time traveling all the way. Let me take the shopkeeper back."

Hmm? Chu Jinnian tilted his face slightly.

Jing Zhao sent her back...

Just... like him? Chu Jinnian's face suddenly darkened, and he didn't respond. He just squeezed the horse's belly and drove it forward.

Jing Zhao was stunned for a moment.

It seemed that his son was angry just now? But why...

Jing Zhao was confused, but he didn't dare to speak. He just drove his horse forward, stretched out his hand to pull the reins of Chu Jinnian's horse, and helped lead the horse forward. ——At this time, the county government office was brightly lit, and the runners were coming and going, busy as hell.

"The criminals have not been found in the west of the city."

"The criminals have not been found in the east of the city."

"I have already sent people from the nearby villages and towns to look for him, but no one has come to report yet."

"I have already ordered people to expand the search area, but there are still no results..."

"What about Lord Ding?" Xu Zhengping frowned, "Has there been any news from Lord Ding?"

"No, Lord Ding took Shen Quan to chase him, and he hasn't come back yet. Judging from Lord Ding's expression, he will not give up until he finds the person." The bailiff replied.

Xu Zhengping sighed, "Lord Ding feels guilty. If he can't find Miss Zhuang, I'm afraid he won't come back."

In fact, it was not only Ding Gaochang. He also wanted to go look for him himself at this time, but there was no one in the county government to direct the subordinates to do things, and he was afraid that the situation would only get more chaotic, so he stayed.

"I will send more people to look for it right away."

"Yes." Xu Zhengping nodded, "Take out some silver from my private vault and distribute it to the subordinates. It can be regarded as a reward for everyone's hard work."

"Besides, has Miss Zhuang's family sent anyone over?"

"Don't worry, sir. I have already sent someone to tell them that Miss Zhuang and Lord Ding have not yet finished discussing something. Miss Zhuang will stay in the inn in the county town tonight to avoid causing too much panic in her family."
