Chapter 282 Since we're already here, let's have a chat?
Upon hearing their words, Old Ji slapped his thigh.
"That's easy! We're good at fighting violence with violence!"
The Li family's gambling den was built up from the bottom of society, and they've seen plenty of these greedy and ruthless villains.
Often, you can't reason with these kinds of people; you can only be beaten into submission.
Just as everyone was about to strike first, a commotion arose outside the door.
They are from Lijiazhuang.
"Young Master, someone is causing trouble in Hujiabao!"
Um?
They didn't go looking for them, but the people came to them on their own?
"Lord Yun, let's go with you!"
Grandpa Bai stood up, his cane, which he used for support due to his injury, making a thumping sound.
"That's right! Don't think the Lie family is easy to bully. I'll go myself and see who dares to cause trouble!"
Lie Haochuan rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work, but Lie Xuanyi quickly pulled his father back.
"Dad! Calm down!"
"I think this is feasible. They dare to cause trouble because they want to intimidate the new city lord."
"Are we getting a good deal? If all three of our families go together, they definitely won't dare cause trouble!"
Old Ji put his hands together in prayer and thought it was a feasible plan!
"Let's go, let's go! I've been holding back for so long, it's finally time to stand up for myself!"
Since the Hu family came to power, the Lie family has been subjugated for many years, and Lie Haochuan has long been frustrated.
The group followed Yun Zhao away, and there were far fewer people on the road.
Some of the bolder ones inquired, "Is the city lord going to see those people from the Chen family?"
"I heard they're up to something. What will they do if I'm not there? That's why I have to go back!"
Yun Zhao waved his hand and rode the tiger through the streets.
The new city lord is so adorable that the people can't help but smile too.
Ah, that's wonderful!
"Those people from the Chen family are too arrogant. They actually dare to provoke the new city lord?"
"Don't be afraid, Lord City Lord, we'll go with you!"
"That's right, it's outrageous to bully our lovely city lord like that!"
"The Hu family has fallen, and now they're just small fry. We outnumber them, so why should we be afraid of them?"
The people picked up their hoes and followed behind the Bai and Lie families.
In no time, a huge procession had formed!
Meanwhile, in Hujiabao at this time...
The Chen family and several other small, scattered families gathered at the entrance, attempting to break in.
The Li family gambling house sent six guards, with two foxes crouching beside them.
"What does it have to do with you if the Li family is looking for a new city lord?"
The Li family gambling den is not from Fengyun City, and they have always kept to themselves.
"The new city lord is our little boss, what does it have to do with us?"
The Li family members stood with their hands on their hips, looking quite proud.
"Isn't the new city lord a child?"
The group whispered among themselves.
"Who! Who dares to bully our Junior Uncle!"
Several young people ran over, carrying several packets of medicine in their hands.
"Aren't these a few junior apprentices from Jishetang?"
"Who is their martial uncle?"
Everyone was stunned again.
"The new city lord is our junior uncle!"
"Chen Daniu! You're bullying our junior uncle, don't you want to get your illness treated anymore?"
"Ah? No, no, no, you've misunderstood. We, we're just here to meet the new city lord!"
Chen Daniu was startled.
How did this get into talking about treating illness?
He had been suffering from tinea cruris for a long time, and recently he couldn't help but go to Jishetang to get some ointment, which helped a bit.
If we don't treat his illness, won't he go crazy?!
Never offend a doctor, no matter who you are—that's the truth!
Many people began to back down.
"Um, I think I forgot to bring in the clothes I hung out to dry."
"Oh, my mom told me to go home for dinner early tonight!"
The head of the Chen family looked ashen.
This new city lord is so arrogant!
If they leave like this today, how will the Chen family maintain its foothold in Fengyun City in the future?
The Xie family members standing to the side sneered as they sized them up.
"If you're chickening out, just leave. Anyway, your Chen family isn't exactly tough!"
"With the Xie family here, we will get justice sooner or later!"
Faced with the Xie family's provocation, the Chen family head's expression grew even uglier.
"Anyone who dares to leave, don't ever come back to the Chen family!"
This is his final ultimatum.
Either leave now and get out of the Chen family.
Either stay and stand together through thick and thin.
The foot that had been extended was pulled back.
When Yun Zhao arrived at Hujiabao, he heard this warning.
"Who exactly is in the Chen family? Do we really have to go back?"
Everyone turned around and saw a beautifully sculpted child riding on the back of a tiger, curiously looking at them.
It's that new city lord who can control beasts!
Contrary to my expectations, this child is incredibly cute!
"You, cough cough! You are the new city lord, Su Xun?"
The head of the Chen family cleared his throat and asked sternly.
"It's me, Uncle! What are all these people doing around my new house?"
A child's voice is different from a man's; it's soft and sweet, making your heart melt.
"Ahem! We're here to ask you for next month's food allowance!"
The head of the Chen family glared at the Xie family members, and the people around him quickly echoed his sentiments.
"Yes! The Hu family used to give us a monthly allowance, you wouldn't refuse to give it to us, would you?"
"Huh? Are you from the Hu family? Why are they supporting you?"
Yun Zhao gently stroked the tiger's head, and the tiger comfortably squinted its eyes in her hands.
As docile as a kitten.
Recalling the rumors that the Hu family had been eaten by wild beasts, everyone subconsciously swallowed and took a step back.
"No, it's not..."
"Since you don't need me to support you, why should I give you a monthly allowance?"
Yun Zhao asked back, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
One sentence shut everyone up.
I originally came here to take advantage of the situation, so why did I get controlled by a little dumpling?
Behind them, the group that had been planning a fierce battle looked completely bewildered.
Are they here to help make up the number of people?
Grandpa Bai walked forward with his cane, straightening his body.
"What's the rush? The city lord has already made arrangements. We will contact Guanzhou."
In the future, we will work to restore the prices of grain, oil, rice, and flour in the city.
Don't even think about trying to ally with the Hu family and control the city like you used to!
Lie Haochuan retorted, "That's right, from now on you won't be able to bully others in this city!"
The Chen family members looked at each other, unsure whether to leave or stay.
"Since we're here, why don't we all chat together?"
Yun Zhao seemed to have relented.
"Talk, talk about what?"
"Let's talk about what punishment you'll face if you bully ordinary people again in the future."
Yun Zhao tilted her head innocently.
The Chen family members dared not speak out against their anger, and looked at her with forced smiles.
"Lord City Lord, you jest..."
What's going on? Aren't children supposed to be kind-hearted?
This little girl looks like a demon!
"I'm not joking with you. I won't be in Fengyun City often in the future."
All affairs were handed over to Old Ji of the Li family gambling house.
He sends me letters every now and then, warning me if I dare to cause any trouble.
"Things like the massacre at Hujiabao might happen to you too."
After saying that, the little dumpling smiled with exceptional innocence and revealed the green snake on her wrist.
The green snake coiled around her delicate forearm, licking her hand with ecstatic fervor.
The green snake's sharp fangs seemed to gleam terrifyingly in the sunlight, sending chills down everyone's spines!
She raised her eyes and scanned the crowd.
"Do you understand now?"
