Chapter 15: Borrowing a Ladder to Climb the Wall
"Dad, Mom!"
Xiaopang threw himself on Zhang Yiquan and his wife, and the three of them hugged each other and burst into tears, which attracted attention.
On the other side, Zhao Guang tried to kill Chen Yuan several times, but was stopped by his servants. As a result, he heard that the person was alive. He turned around and saw that the little fat man was really alive.
"How is that possible!"
Zhao Guang's eyes widened, and he had no intention of killing Chen Yuan because he was blocked by Chen's servants and could not kill him at all.
He stared at Xiaopang in disbelief, his mentality collapsed. You know, this poison was carefully selected by him, and it would definitely kill anyone who touched it.
He could guarantee that there was no antidote for this poison, at least not in his hands.
But what about that little fat guy?
How did he survive?
Zhao Guang couldn't understand.
Zhang Yiquan couldn't understand why the Chen family did this.
He turned and left with his son, saying coldly, "Don't think I'll be grateful to you. Let's forget about this time, but next time..."
"etc!"
Chen Xue interrupted him, "The matter has not been investigated clearly yet. Doesn't Lord Zhang want to know who killed your son..."
"Humph, who else but you guys?"
"That's right." The woman jumped out again. "If my son wasn't poisoned by you, how could you have freed him so quickly? You're clearly the ones crying thief!"
"I don't care. You, the Chen family, must compensate us for our losses. My son was poisoned by you. Who knows if he has any physical damage? Without hundreds or thousands of taels, this matter will not be over."
"Are you blackmailing us?"
Chen Xue narrowed her eyes, and Xiaodie beside her stood up, "Bah, shameless! It was clearly our daughter who saved your son, and you are not grateful, but blackmailing her. How shameless!"
"How shameless of you to poison like children." The woman said, looking around again and wailing, "Everyone, please judge. If they hadn't poisoned it, how could it be cured so quickly?"
"Bah, if we were the ones who poisoned you, why would we help you detoxify?" Xiaodie said with puffed cheeks.
"If the official hadn't shown up, would you have dared not detoxify me?" the woman cried out like a scoundrel. "Anyway, if you don't compensate us, we'll keep making trouble."
"you……"
Xiaodie was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Chen Xue pulled her and touched her head, and then Chen Xue looked at the woman.
“What compensation do you want?”
When the woman heard Chen Xue's words, she was overjoyed.
"Girl~" Xiaodie was a little anxious. The woman was obviously blackmailing them. Why did the girl agree to it? Isn't this like throwing meat buns at a dog?
"Carriage, as long as you compensate us for the carriage, this matter will be over."
The woman was not as stupid as she seemed. She had planned it all along. She used her tantrums and her son's poisoning to threaten the Chen family to compensate for the carriage.
"Can!"
Xiaodie was dumbfounded. She didn't expect the girl to actually agree. Girl, if you feel threatened, just blink.
"But first, tell that officer to stop."
Chen Xue pointed at Zhao Guang who was attacking his father with a weapon. His father was protected by the servants and was not injured, but the servants had many wounds on their bodies. And most importantly, the servants could only defend themselves and did not dare to resist.
Otherwise, they would really be rebelling, and then all the yamen runners would take action and behead them on the spot.
The woman was dumbfounded to see that Zhao Guang was actually helping them deal with Chen Yuan, but thinking that she could get the carriage, she naturally couldn't let Zhao Guang ruin her plan.
"Sir, please stop, we are fine now."
Zhao Guang naturally heard what the woman said, and cursed him in his heart as a waste. Anyway, he was going to kill Chen Yuan today, and the woman's matter was just an excuse.
So he pretended not to hear and continued to attack the Chen family. Chen Yuan had already noticed that something was wrong, so he quickly hid in the exile team.
In this way, Zhao Guang would not continue to attack the servants. Sure enough, Zhao Guang continued to chase Chen Yuan with a knife, but was blocked by a group of exiled prisoners.
Especially when they saw Zhao Guang coming towards them with murderous intent, the prisoners were afraid that they would be implicated and immediately panicked. Zhao Guang mixed in with the crowd, making it impossible for him to take action.
Seeing that Zhao Guang didn't stop, the woman felt helpless and turned to look at Chen Xue. Chen Xue shrugged and said, "If he doesn't stop, there's no room for negotiation."
She saw at a glance that the woman's target was the carriage, and she just needed to grasp this point.
Her only worry was whether the woman could stop Zhao Guang.
As a yamen runner, there was something very wrong with Zhao Guang.
Thinking of the carriage, the woman could only take a deep breath and yell at Zhao Guang, "Sir, stop it! We have reconciled, we have reconciled."
"Waste!" Zhao Guang was furious when he saw that he couldn't kill Chen Yuan. He turned around and glared at the woman, scaring her so much that she almost fell to the ground.
Then Zhao Guang turned around and saw Chen Xue, his eyes suddenly lit up, "If I catch his daughter, he will probably die obediently."
Thinking of this, Zhao Guang turned around and rushed towards Chen Xue.
"Girl, be careful!" Xiaodie rushed to Chen Xue without hesitation, opened her arms, and protected her behind her.
bite!
At the critical moment, Xu Tian appeared.
He blocked Zhao Guang's attack and glared at him, "Zhao Guang, what are you doing?"
"Get out of here!"
Zhao Guang gritted his teeth and said, he didn't expect it was Xu Tian again. He had ruined his plans several times.
"The captain is here."
Xu Tian did not argue with him, but said something lightly and asked Chen Xue to retreat and meet up with Lord Chen.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhao Guang turned around and saw the captain of the yamen runners coming over with a group of his men.
"What's going on? You guys are causing trouble again."
The captain looked very unhappy. Today was only the first day, and they had been stopping and starting all the time. Moreover, both times were because of Zhao Guang, Chen Jia and others.
The woman next to him didn't expect to attract so many officials. Her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief, as it had finally come to this point.
"How is it, can you still handle it?"
Lord Chen and his mother were standing beside Chen Xue. They hadn't spoken a word just now because they wanted to train Chen Xue.
Because of the exile, they have realized that their children have grown up and they cannot protect them forever.
So let Chen Xue try to handle it. Facing the shrew-like woman, Chen Xue still easily controlled it.
But now, the captain of the yamen runners also came over. They were worried that Chen Xue had never faced the situation of the officials, so they asked this question.
"I can." Chen Xue naturally knew her parents' good intentions, but she wanted to try and see if she could solve the problem perfectly on her own.
At this time, the captain of the yamen runners had also understood the situation.
He called the two families together and said, "Solve this matter yourselves!"
If it were someone else, he would have dealt with it casually long ago, but the key point was that it involved the Chen family, and there were two forces competing with each other. He didn't want to get involved, so he let them solve it themselves.
In this way, there is no favoritism and no offense.
"Sir, we demand that the Chen family compensate us for our losses and give us the carriage!" The woman climbed up the wall using a ladder.
