Chapter 50: Trouble
"Neuropathy!"
Converse left Zhao Guang cursing, not only did he not get the answer he wanted, but he also felt panicked.
"Why!"
He sighed and decided to give up on dealing with Chen Xue for the time being. After all, he couldn't do it alone, and other people were simply unreliable.
Don't try to die without help.
After Converse left, Zhao Guang found an opportunity to run to Chen Xue and tell her about it. Chen Xue didn't care, but Zhao Guang's behavior was still worthy of praise.
After rewarding Zhao Guang with a few pieces of rabbit meat, they sent him away with tears of gratitude, and then began to divide the meat.
There are four rabbits, and one is given to Xu Tian. After all, he has helped his family a lot, and he did it without asking for anything in return.
However, Xu Tian refused, saying that this time he had implicated the Chen family. Although he won, he was still scared. If he lost, he would never forgive himself in his life.
He also said that he did not show up in time when Captain Sun caused trouble for the Chen family last time, and he felt very guilty about it.
This time I took the Chen family hunting because I wanted to apologize, so I thought about making amends, but who knew the result...
However, Chen Xue and Lord Chen Dang did not care at all. After several delays, Lord Chen pretended to be angry, and Xu Tian left with the rabbit.
Afterwards, there were three left. One was kept in the space, and the other two were slaughtered. One was divided among Chen Xue and others, and the other was divided among the Chen family's servants.
Neither Chen Xue nor Lord Chen was harsh on the servants. Although the Chen family's servants had never been hungry, it had been several days since they last ate fish.
The servants are not like Chen Xue and others who can have their own special meals.
Therefore, Chen Xue and others still have to feed them meat from time to time to supplement protein, otherwise they will not be able to survive in Nanman.
These servants are the foundation of our family's development in Nanman. With their help, it will be easier to develop in Nanman.
These servants are all tested and loyal.
Chen Xue would naturally not be stingy with her own people.
When several people were eating braised rabbit meat with gusto, suddenly several figures rushed in. It was Captain Sun's confidant, Qian Yayi.
Seeing him coming with people and looking aggressive, the servants quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and notified Chen Xue and others.
After Chen Xue and her family came down, they quickly stood in front of them to protect them.
"Mr. Qian, I'm honored to see you. I wonder what may bring you here." Lord Chen came forward to greet them. Although he knew that they might have bad intentions, he could only greet them with a smile and avoid conflict if possible.
"I heard that you caught a lot of rabbits," said Qian, the yamen runner, and looked around. Although he didn't see any rabbits, he smelled the smell of meat and couldn't help swallowing.
Upon hearing this, Lord Chen frowned. How could he not understand what they meant? They wanted the rabbits they had caught.
To be honest, if a rabbit can send them away and not cause them any trouble, it won't be a loss. The only thing to be afraid of is that they will ask for too much.
Seeing that Lord Chen and the others frowned but did not say anything, Qian Yayi's face looked very ugly. In the past, when he said this, others would quickly understand his hint and send the rabbit over.
But now, he didn't think that Lord Chen couldn't understand such a simple hint. After all, he used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. How could a fool become such a minister?
So, he thought that the Chen family just didn't want to give them the rabbits. Thinking of this, he felt a little angry.
If the captain hadn't told him not to make a big fuss and to use gentle means, he would have robbed it long ago.
He snorted coldly, "We'll pay you one or two taels of silver, and sell us the rabbits you hunted!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Chen family changed their expressions, and the servants of the Chen family were even more furious. As servants of the Chen family, they shared the same fate as the Chen family.
Qian Yayi is simply robbing!
How could they not be angry? This was the prey that their girl had worked so hard to catch, and giving it only one or two taels of silver was simply an insult.
Even though Lord Chen has a good temper, he still wants to curse.
"Sorry, you're late. We've already eaten all the rabbits!"
Chen Xue snorted coldly. She would not indulge them. How could she let them get away with it for free after hunting the rabbits with great effort? If they offered dozens of taels of silver, it would be fine. But one tael of silver was simply giving alms to beggars.
She knew that it was unwise to confront these yamen runners head-on, so it would be better to use their force to counter them.
"Go get those people!"
"Really?" Yamen runner Qian saw the servant leave, not caring at all, and sneered, "I know you guys killed four rabbits, but don't tell me you ate all four."
"That's really unfortunate." Chen Xue shrugged. "We each got one, and only the rabbit tail is left. If you don't mind, I can sell it to you for one or two ounces of silver."
hehe!
Rabbit Tail
There is no meat, what will we eat!
You're just paying us a tael of silver and treating us like a fool? Are you taking advantage of us?
"Go and look for it!"
Qian, the yamen runner, waved his hand and ordered his men to search the carriage. Since the Chen family was so shameless, don't blame him for being rude.
"What are you doing!"
The Chen family's servants immediately stopped them, and Master Chen asked coldly, "Mr. Qian, are you going to tear up the cooperation agreement?"
"So what if I tear it up?" Yayi Qian said with disdain, "It doesn't matter whether you are in this business or not. You are just prisoners. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with us?"
"Allowing you to ride in the carriage without shackles and shackles is already a great mercy. Don't be so shameless."
Chen Xue and the others looked very unhappy. They didn't expect them to turn against each other so quickly, and just for a few rabbits.
Chen Xue stepped forward and snapped her fingers. The sound of Captain Sun's promise to the Chen family that their demands were too high reached everyone's ears.
"Tell me, if Captain Sun's backtracking gets out, who will dare to trust him in the future? Who will you sell your herbs to? Who will dare to do business with you?"
"You are threatening me"
A murderous look appeared on Qian Yayi's face. Although he didn't know why the captain's words suddenly appeared in his ears, he knew that it was Chen Xue's doing.
Seeing this, the servants of the Chen family hurriedly protected Chen Xue behind them.
"What was that just now?" Yayi Qian didn't know how to describe it. He drew the big knife from his waist and said viciously, "Hand over the trick you just used."
Whether it was for the purpose of silencing them or for this magical method, Qian Yayi decided not to let them go.
Following Qian's move, other yamen runners also drew their swords and surrounded the Chen family.
"What do you want to do?" Lord Chen said angrily, "Do you think you can get away by killing us? You should know my identity. If I die, His Majesty will definitely send people to investigate, and then you won't be able to escape."
He had learned from Xu Tian that exiled yamen runners were not allowed to kill prisoners unless it was absolutely necessary.
Especially for a "mastermind" like him, once he died, the court would send people to investigate the cause. Once it was discovered that the yamen runners acted privately, they would not be able to escape either.
"Hahaha!" Yayi Qian laughed loudly towards the sky, looked around, and saw that his men had already started to drive away the prisoners around. He looked at Lord Chen.
"At worst, we can just say you were eaten by wild animals. Besides, the charges of escaping and attacking a yamen runner are enough to get you executed."
