Chapter 112: Stifling Danger
When Lord Chen saw his reaction, he immediately became angry. Xu Tian was good in every way except that he was too soft-hearted and had a soft personality.
"Since you asked me, then let me handle this matter!"
For the first time, Lord Chen acted domineering. He bypassed Captain Xu Tian and ordered other yamen runners to find Zhao Guang and Kuang Wei.
Zhao Guang, Kuang Wei and others have always kept a low profile, fearing that Lord Chen would remember them and come after them.
Therefore, they all tried their best to avoid Lord Chen's sight, but unexpectedly, they were still called over by Lord Chen, and they were immediately very nervous.
"Now I have a matter for you to solve!" Lord Chen said straight to the point, and then recounted Zhou Ping's story.
"You know what to do now!"
Although Lord Chen did not say how to deal with it, he knew that Zhao Guang and Kuang Wei must understand what he meant.
"Know."
Zhao Guang nodded suddenly and became a little excited. At first he thought that Lord Chen wanted to settle accounts with him, so he was very scared. He didn't expect that he just wanted them to do something.
What does this mean? It means that Lord Chen does not hold a grudge and even trusts them. How can this not make Zhao Guang excited?
He had already made up his mind. He didn't care about Guo Qiang. It had nothing to do with him. He was so far away from him that he couldn't control him at all. He should join Lord Chen's camp as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, Master Chen. I'll take care of this matter."
Isn't it just being a bad guy?
He is very familiar with this!
"That's fine with me."
Seeing that Zhao Guang had expressed his opinion, Kuang Wei also hurried to express his opinion. Anyway, as long as Lord Chen didn't settle the score with him, he would do anything.
"Don't kill anyone!" Lord Chen glanced at Xu Tian, who was about to speak but hesitated. "Teach them a lesson so they don't do it again."
"Don't worry, Master Chen, we know our limits!"
After watching Zhao Guang and the other two leave, Lord Chen looked at Xu Tian again, "Don't blame me for overstepping my authority, it's really..."
"Why!"
Master Chen sighed, somewhat disappointed, and seemed unwilling to speak any more, but he still warned, "If you don't want tragedy to happen again, give up that childish idea."
"Master Chen..."
Xu Tian opened his mouth and watched Lord Chen leave, but he couldn't say anything. He knew that Lord Chen was a little disappointed in him.
He couldn't help but clench his fists. He knew very well that this was not the right thing to do, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"What are you doing!"
On the other side, Zhao Guang and his companions, along with the yamen runners, found Zhou Ping and others who were tied up.
Looking at the aggressive Zhao Guang, Zhou Ping panicked and said angrily and fearfully, "What do you want to do? Let us go!"
Zhao Guang sneered, ignored their shouts, and asked the yamen runners to drag them in front of everyone.
Then they pressed them to the ground, held down their hands and feet, and then found a stick to beat them with.
While Zhao Guang was carrying out the caning, he was telling the people around him about Zhou Ping's crimes.
"ah!"
"Stop fighting!"
“It hurts so much!”
"Help! I can't do it anymore!"
After being beaten dozens of times, Zhou Ping and others started crying out because these yamen runners did not hold back at all.
Zhao Guang naturally would not listen to them. Lord Chen had already spoken and wanted to teach them a lesson so that they would not dare to do it again.
"Stop fighting"
Zhao Guang sneered, "Just for the fact that you killed someone, it's a capital crime, and you still want to beg for mercy?"
"Keep fighting!"
"Aren't they very arrogant? Let's see if they dare to be arrogant even when they get down there!"
Hearing Zhao Guang's words, Zhou Ping and others shuddered, thinking that Zhao Guang really wanted to beat them to death. They struggled desperately, but were pinned down by the yamen runners and could not move at all.
Feeling their buttocks becoming more and more painful, as if they were about to be beaten to pieces, Zhou Ping and others begged for mercy sincerely.
Before, they wanted to pretend to beg for mercy and let Xu Tian change his mind, but Xu Tian never showed up. Instead, Zhao Guang and others beat them more and more fiercely, which made them realize that this time they were serious.
"We really know we were wrong and we won't dare to do it again!"
"Bang!"
However, Zhao Guang and others sneered and ignored their pleas for mercy.
The prisoners nearby saw the miserable state of Zhou Ping and others and heard their screams, and they shuddered.
Some people originally had some little ideas, but now they are all gone.
It was unknown how long it took, but Zhou Ping and others fainted from the pain, and Zhao Guang and others stopped.
Then Zhao Guang captured a few people who were in the same group as Zhou Ping, left Zhou Ping to them, and left to report to Lord Chen.
However, Lord Chen was not there, and only Chen Xue showed up, which immediately put an end to Zhao Guang's original intention of taking credit.
Compared to Lord Chen, he was more afraid of Chen Xue, and even more afraid of her magical and unknown methods.
“Well done!”
Chen Xue threw him an antidote and expressed her satisfaction. As the saying goes, a kind man is often bullied and a good horse is often ridden. Xu Tian has an honest character, which allowed Zhou Ping and others to seize the opportunity.
If Xu Tian was as strong as Captain Sun, Zhou Ping and others would never dare to act recklessly. Unfortunately, Xu Tian couldn't do it.
Therefore, Lord Chen could only think of having one of these yamen runners play the good guy and the other the bad guy.
After all, they are also prisoners and have no right to deal with other prisoners. If they do, it will cause dissatisfaction or even riots among the prisoners, so the yamen runners have to take action.
After Zhao Guang got the antidote, he left excitedly. Kuang Wei kept a low profile because he was not poisoned, but Chen Xue had exposed him.
Therefore, he knew very well that as long as he did not seek death, Chen Xue and the others would not expose his weakness.
etc!
Converse suddenly realized that his handle seemed to be related to Captain Sun, but now that Captain Sun was dead, what was there to be afraid of...
There is no need for me to be coerced by the Chen family!
I used to be afraid that Captain Sun would come after me if my secret was exposed, but now...
Thinking of this, Converse suddenly felt relaxed. He looked up at Chen Xue, considering whether to take the initiative.
But when he thought that the yamen runners now all listened to the Chen family, he immediately gave up the idea. However, if the Chen family came to him for help in the future, he wouldn't have to worry and could just refuse directly.
Anyway, I have no handle on them and I am not threatened by the Chen family. What can they do to me?
“It’s yours!”
Just as he was thinking, Converse heard Chen Xue's voice. He looked up and saw Chen Xue throwing him an antidote.
Exactly the same as the one in Zhao Guang's hand.
Converse's heart skipped a beat. "This... this is..."
"Antidote!" Chen Xue shrugged. "Don't you want the antidote?"
"Why are you giving me the antidote?"
Converse was a little confused, and then his face changed. When did he get poisoned, and it was the same poison as Zhao Guang's.
He knew the power of the poison in Zhao Guang, and was glad that he hadn't been poisoned. He didn't expect...
When Converse thought that he had been poisoned, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. Just as he was about to explode, he saw several guards coming forward. It was like a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and all his anger was extinguished.
He quickly turned around and left with the antidote.
Watching Converse leave, Chen Xue shook her head. In fact, Converse was not poisoned, and the antidote was just to scare him.
After all, most of the yamen runners now obey them, but Converse is the only one who doesn't, so this danger must be nipped in the bud.
