Chapter 1876 Xun Sheng meets the Princess of Wen'an County
The two men at the front were dressed as scholars and were handsome, while the four men following behind them carried wooden sticks and were probably thugs.
Panting, Chen Qiu held onto Chen Bing's hand and whispered, "Father, don't be afraid. I've already asked Scholar Xun for help. His classmate is a wealthy local man, and he brought four guards with him. We're not afraid of them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bing breathed a sigh of relief. "Well done."
Xun Xiucai had already achieved official rank, so he didn't believe these people would dare to lay a hand on him. Even if they did, they had brought four guards with them, all of whom were skilled in martial arts. He wanted to see who would come out on top.
This is Changjin Prefecture, not Dong'an Prefecture where they can do whatever they want.
Even the Pan family members relaxed when they saw the newcomers, their expressions suddenly becoming more confident.
Chen Qiu stood up, glanced at the Lu family, and then ran to Xun Xiucai's side, saying with great grievance, "Brother Xun, it's them, these bandits from who-knows-where, who came to our door shouting for a fight. My father was beaten like this, and now they want to force him to go into the water. It's outrageous!"
Scholar Xun walked over to Chen Bing's side first and glanced at his injuries.
Chen Bing immediately cried out in pain, looking extremely miserable.
Scholar Xun frowned, stood up and said, “I don’t know where you all came from, but trespassing on private property is illegal. Even if you report it to the authorities, you will have no recourse. Moreover, you have committed violence and injury here, which is a violation of morality and law.”
Lu Sanzhu pointed at Chen Bing and cursed, "Why don't you ask him what he did?"
“No matter what Uncle Chen did, we should first talk about reason. If he has committed a serious crime, we can report it to the authorities. Fighting in private is unacceptable no matter what.”
After Xun Xiucai finished speaking, his classmate stepped forward and said, "That's right, what kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling for violence? This is Changjin Prefecture. If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame us for being impolite."
As they were speaking, the four guards stepped forward and slammed their sticks heavily into the ground.
This scene caused the Pan and Chen families to instantly raise their chins and look at the other side with cold smiles.
The onlookers were somewhat alarmed and involuntarily took a step back, as if afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Lu Sanzhu was startled, his eyes widening as he asked, "What, you want to make a move?"
Scholar Xun shook his head. “It would be uncivilized to resort to violence. We are all people who know proper etiquette, so naturally we would not want to do it. But since you have injured Uncle Chen, why don’t you apologize first, and then sit down and talk it over to see if there is any misunderstanding?”
Chen Bing shouted, "There's no misunderstanding. They just can't stand to see me doing well. Not only did they come to my door, but they also wanted to take this opportunity to murder me."
Scholar Xun frowned upon hearing this. He had clearly given the best advice, but Uncle Chen...
He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a strange woman's voice.
"Xun Sheng, can you make the decisions for the Chen family?"
Scholar Xun was taken aback and looked toward the source of the voice, feeling that the girl in front of him looked very familiar.
As he looked, his pupils dilated slightly, and he suddenly took a few steps forward in astonishment, "You, you are Lu Xiang, no, that's not right."
He quickly clasped his hands together and respectfully bowed, saying, "Xun Sheng greets the Princess of Wen'an County."
Everyone: ? ? ? ?
What did they just hear?!
The Princess of Wen'an County?!
