Chapter 133: Forcing Everyone Back
At the same time, at the entrance to the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion, the atmosphere was tense.
Chen Moer, holding a long sword, was in a stalemate with the group of debt collectors, and neither side was willing to give in.
Chen was in a state of panic and didn't know how to deal with the chaotic situation.
Seeing Chen Moer appear with a sword, Chen ran behind her immediately as if she had seen a savior.
She reminded him anxiously in a low voice: "Mo'er, you are finally out. No matter what, you must not let these people break into the backyard today."
Chen Moer didn't respond to Chen's words. She scanned the noisy crowd in front of her, frowned and asked in a cold voice: "Aunt, why did these people suddenly break into the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Alas, it's all because of this funeral!"
Chen sighed heavily.
"Your cousin died so suddenly that the Marquisate was not prepared at all. In order to arrange the funeral for your cousin, many balances were not settled, so these shop owners came together to collect the debts."
The more Chen spoke, the more helpless she became.
Of course, she knew it in her heart.
When she first started planning the funeral, she thought Shen Ningyuan would pay for it, so she used the best of everything.
Unexpectedly, now that Shen Ningyuan has given up the business, these debts have fallen on them!
Chen Moer was slightly stunned when she heard this.
Then he raised his eyes and looked again at the group of debt collectors in front of him.
After a moment, he frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt, the Marquis's Mansion has been plotted against. Most of these people are not the real creditors!"
Chen Moer has seen countless people and has keen insight. She can see through the abnormality of the person in front of her at a glance.
Upon hearing this, Chen's eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "Mo'er, what did you say? Most of these people are not from the shop?"
Chen Moer nodded solemnly and emphasized again: "So I said, the Marquis' Mansion was plotted against!"
Chen's face turned pale instantly, as if the sky had fallen, and she wailed loudly: "Oh my God, who is the black-hearted person who wants to plot against our mansion like this!"
Seeing this, Chen Moer frowned and said sternly: "Aunt, now is not the time to wail, calm down first and listen to me. Summon all the servants in the mansion immediately and make sure to block the backyard. I will hold these people steady here!"
"Mo'er, are you okay...on your own?" Chen's voice trembled, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.
Chen Moer nodded firmly: "No matter if it works or not, you just listen to me and do it right away!"
Chen nodded quickly and said in a panic, "Okay, okay, I'll do it right away!"
After saying that, Chen turned and hurried towards the backyard.
Seeing that Chen was about to leave, someone in the front row of debt collectors immediately pointed at Chen and shouted, "We can't let her go! She must pay back the money first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Moer's eyes turned cold instantly.
The long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and with a "swish", he chopped off the man's arm cleanly.
The severed arm fell to the ground with a plop, and blood spurted out from the broken arm like a fountain.
The man whose arm was chopped off let out a shrill scream, then rushed over desperately and picked up his arm, his face full of pain and fear.
It happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned and no one reacted for a moment.
When I came to my senses, a drop of blood had already been spilled on the scene, and the atmosphere was even more tense and depressing than before.
Many people looked at Chen Moer in horror, fearing that she would chop off their arms in the next second.
At this time, Chen Moer looked around coldly with a sharp gaze.
With a cold expression, he said word by word: "Now, who else wants to break in?"
Everyone was shocked by her fierce aura, and they retreated with fear on their faces. No one dared to step forward to stop her.
They are just here to collect a debt, and no one wants to risk their life and property.
Seeing that some people were thinking of retreating, a few people with gloomy faces in the crowd looked at each other and nodded at the same time, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
The next moment, one of them stood up and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. She is the only woman in this mansion who dares to stand out. We should not be intimidated by her. Drive her away and we can get back today's debt!"
As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed: "That's right, she's just a woman, there's nothing to be afraid of! If we drive her away, no one will dare to stop us!"
"That's right. After all, we have dozens of people and she is alone. Are we afraid of her?"
"Go ahead and chase her away!"
"Yes, go ahead..."
For a moment, everyone's emotions were ignited again, as if they were injected with chicken blood, and they rushed into the backyard again.
Seeing this scene, Chen Moer calmly instructed Ji Zehai: "Uncle, go to the Jingdu prefecture to find Lord Song and tell him that someone is gathering to cause trouble and wreak havoc on the Marquis's residence. Ask Lord Song to send someone to the Marquis's residence immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zehai looked at Chen Moer with embarrassment and stammered, "Moer, this...can't be reported to the police!"
"Just report it if I tell you to!"
Seeing Ji Zehai's weak look, Chen Moer became angry and roared angrily.
Ji Zehai didn't expect Chen Moer to suddenly get angry. He didn't dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly grabbed the servant beside him.
He ordered in a deep voice: "You, hurry to the governor of Kyoto and find Lord Song!"
"My Lord, I will go right away!"
The servant nodded and ran out in a hurry.
Seeing the servant go to report to the police, Ji Zehai was still full of worries.
Carefully walking through the crowd, he finally came to Chen Mo'er's side, and then lowered his voice to remind her: "Chen Mo'er, you know very well what is hidden in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion. If it is found by someone with ulterior motives, the Marquis' Mansion will be in great trouble. By then, you will not be able to escape responsibility, and we will all be in trouble!"
Chen Moer nodded slightly and responded softly, "I know what my uncle is worried about, but you can rest assured that Mr. Song will not do anything rash."
"Really?" Ji Zehai was still a little skeptical, his tone full of uncertainty.
Chen Moer's tone sank, and she asked unhappily, "Why would I lie to my uncle? What good would it do for me to lie to you and tell you to relax and call Mr. Song? I did all this just to clean up the mess!"
Seeing that she was unhappy, Ji Zehai immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak anymore.
From his trembling appearance, it can be seen that Ji Zehai is quite afraid of Chen Moer, and even afraid of offending her.
Chen Moer glanced at Ji Zehai from the corner of her eye, and when she saw his timid look, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The reason why the Ji family fell into decline was due to these cowardly and incompetent heads of the family.
They were timid, indecisive and irresponsible, which led to the gradual decline of the Ji family!
At this time, someone in the debt collection crowd showed fear and looked at Shen the butcher in panic: "They have all gone to report to the police. Should we continue to collect this debt?"
Shen the butcher looked embarrassed and looked at Chen Moer hesitantly.
His intuition told him that this harmless-looking woman in white was definitely not a good person.
He had been killing pigs for so many years that he had developed a fierce aura and was somewhat afraid of this woman.
