Chapter 231 Playing Tricks on Hu Xu
Yun Zhao tilted his head and looked at him with some confusion: "It's not like we killed you, so why won't you let us go?"
"Little girl, don't think I don't know, you're the one who sent it to kill... uh!"
Before Hu Xu could finish speaking, the black bear's hand pressed down hard again.
"roar!"
The black bear roared at his face, spraying him with a foul stench.
"You hurt its cubs, it won't let you get away with this!"
Yun Zhao looked completely innocent.
The animal trainer had long since run off. The Hu family thugs looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and turned to run.
"Don't worry, Third Master, we will avenge you!"
They ran and shouted.
Little did they know, the road ahead was already blocked.
Wei Jingchen leaped down from the courtyard wall and kicked one of the thugs in the front row!
Before the thug could even stand up, the officers rushed forward with knives in hand and held one to his neck.
With the help of Wei Jingchen and Xu Zhenbang, the officials quickly tied up the thugs from the Hu family and the traitors from the government office.
Suddenly, the black bear raised its front paws.
Hu Xu was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran forward after realizing what was happening.
The next moment, the black bear raised its front paws and slammed him to the ground.
Again and again, Hu Xu bumped into the ground, breaking several teeth in the process.
Yun Zhao: ...
He Chuan found it strange, so he asked in a low voice, "Miss Yun, what is this black bear doing?"
"They're probably... playing a trick on Hu Xu..."
Xu Zhenbang said in a deep voice.
"Um."
Yun Zhao nodded.
Wei Jingchen walked over from a distance, his expression somewhat complicated.
"I've heard before that black bears are very intelligent and also hold grudges."
Hu Xu locked up its cubs, forced them to kill people, and made them fight in contests for their amusement.
In revenge, the black bear turned on him, treating him as a plaything for its own amusement.
Everyone fell silent.
They treated wild beasts as playthings, watching them fight and kill each other.
The more cruel and bloody it is.
The happier they are.
Now, I've become the one being manipulated.
Even if the black bear restrains itself, it is still a bear's paw.
It tossed Hu Xu back and forth between its paws, and the more it heard his screams, the happier it became.
The scene was somewhat bloody, and Yun Zhao felt uncomfortable, instinctively clenching his sleeves.
Wei Jingchen looked at her pale fingertips and raised his hand to cover her eyes.
"Stop looking."
He knew that Yun Zhao wouldn't go up and stop the black bear's actions.
But given the bloody scene, not to mention Yun Zhao, even He Chuan and the others couldn't help but feel nauseous and want to vomit.
Xu Zhenbang then realized that he was used to bloodshed and didn't feel anything.
But Yun Zhao and Wei Jingchen were just children, so he quickly said, "Young Master Wei, please take Zhao Zhao back first."
Wei Jingchen nodded, picked up the two ferocious beast cubs, and put them back on the tiger's back.
He opened his arms, bent down, and said gently, "Zhaozhao, come here."
Yun Zhao naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, and Wei Jingchen pulled her into his embrace.
"Grandfather, Zhaozhao will go back first."
Yun Zhao seemed to be feeling unwell; her face was pale and her voice was muffled.
"Okay, you go back quickly, your grandfather will come back as soon as he's taken care of things!"
Wei Jingchen nodded slightly, as if bidding them farewell.
"Hua Hua, keep up."
He said something and then carried Yun Zhao away.
The tiger glanced back at the black bear, then followed behind Wei Jingchen.
The officials were somewhat worried as they watched Yun Zhao leave.
"Sir, are you sure this is alright?"
Hu Xu's legs and arms were almost detached from his body from being played with by the black bear, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.
Will they attack them later?
"Miss Yun is a smart child. She left like this probably because the black bear only attacks Hu Xu."
He Chuan had an inexplicable trust in Yun Zhao.
He glanced at the Hu family thugs who were tied up, then directed the others to take them to the prison.
He then bowed to Xu Zhenbang.
"Thanks to General Xu and Miss Yun for arriving in time, I was spared from death!"
"Lord He, you flatter us. The officials from the Court of Judicial Review told us..."
He said there might be a spies from the Hu family in the city, and that Xu had only come to warn Lord He.
Unexpectedly, the Hu family is so arrogant that they actually assassinated a high-ranking official in the government office!
After saying that, Xu Zhenbang turned to look at Hu Xu.
He was already on the verge of death, lying on the ground, about to breathe his last, and no information could be obtained from him.
"What are your plans, Lord He?"
As Hu Xu just said, if anything happens to him, the Hu family will not let them off the hook.
If the Hu family dares to commit violence in Guanzhou, their influence there must be much more than just this.
The conflict between the Hu family, He Chuan, and the exiled troops has probably already been reported back to Fengyun City.
They have to do something.
"The most important thing now is to thoroughly investigate the spies in the government office. There is a distance between Fengyun City and Guanzhou."
It will take them time to send the message back, and it will probably take them seven or eight days to arrange for someone to ride quickly to Guanzhou.
The troops in Guanzhou are not as numerous as those in Suzhou, but it's not a place that just anyone can break through.
On this point, He Chuan was not afraid.
The fact that the Hu family is so audacious suggests they may have colluded with higher-ups.
Xu Zhenbang didn't say much, he just smiled.
If He Chuan, having served as an official to this extent, couldn't even offer some solutions, then he'd have wasted his time.
"General Xu, Miss Yun has disrupted the Hu family's black market tournament."
The death of the third master of the Hu family is also related to this, and the Hu family will likely hold a grudge.
Originally, we planned to send you to Linjia Village outside Guanzhou, but now it seems...
You should set off later, at least until the spies in Guanzhou are caught.
I will send men to escort you to Linjia Village; that way, you'll be safer.
He Chuan was worried that they would be retaliated against, so he said a few words on purpose.
Xu Zhenbang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord He. However, you need not address me as General, as I no longer hold any official position."
"It's all just a form of address. Brother Xu is skilled in military affairs. I wonder if he could help me deal with the chaos in Guanzhou?"
Although He Chuan had the authority to deploy troops, he lacked experience in leading them.
Those who were already in charge of troops were even less likely to believe it.
But he believed that Xu Zhenbang and Yun Xuan were not the kind of people who would embezzle or accept bribes.
"Of course, it is my honor."
Just as Xu Zhenbang agreed, the military advisor led a small group of men into the government office.
"This humble official greets Your Excellency."
He Chuan straightened his expression and said in a deep voice, "Lin Xuan, you've come at the right time. This is Xu Zhenbang, the former General of the State."
Regarding the investigation of Guanzhou, you may follow his instructions, understand?
Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that He Chuan did not trust him, and quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Don't worry, sir, I understand."
Xu Zhenbang was the garrison commander of the Southwest, and he was able to suppress even such a chaotic place.
What are a few local thugs in Guanzhou Fengyun City?
"Military Advisor Lin, immediately replace the city gate guards with the soldiers who are usually stationed outside the city."
Lord He will personally interrogate the city gate guards. How many troops are currently stationed outside the city?
Although he held no official position, Xu Zhenbang's orders carried an unquestionable air of authority.
Lin Xuan instinctively obeyed his orders.
On the other side, Wei Jingchen took Yun Zhao back, only to find that the usually mischievous and clever baby was still listless.
Are you really scared?
