Chapter 57: Struck by Thunder
When Xu Tian was about to take Lord Chen and Chen Xue to Wen County, he was stopped by the yamen runner Qian.
"Qian Wei, what do you mean!"
Xu Tian glared at him, because he knew that Qian Wei was deliberately looking for trouble.
"What do you mean?" Qian Wei sneered. "I want to ask you what you mean? Who gave you the right and courage to bring prisoners into the city?"
Although he had decided not to have any contact with the Chen family before, even if there was trouble, he would send his men to do it.
But man proposes, God disposes.
He followed Captain Sun and planned to go into the city in a carefree manner, but who knew that he would meet Xu Tian and the Chen family.
Captain Sun had already made up his mind to deal with the Chen family, so naturally he kept using his eyes to hint him to take action.
He also understood what Captain Sun meant, but didn't want to do it himself, so he looked at his subordinate, hinting him to step forward.
However, his subordinates were too stupid to understand the hints in his eyes. Instead, they thought there was something wrong with his eyes, like sand had gotten into his eyes, and asked if they should help him blow out the glass.
Qian Yayi was so angry!
In desperation, he had to step in himself, otherwise Xu Tianzhen would take the Chen family into the city, and it would be too late to stop them by then.
"The captain agreed a long time ago!"
"Really? How come I don't know when it happened?"
As Qian Yayi was speaking, he saw Chen Xue behind Xu Tian raise her hand, as if she was about to snap her fingers.
His heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously wanted to stop her, but Chen Xue suddenly stopped and spoke.
"Don't you remember? Captain Sun said it himself when we were working together. Don't you think so, Captain Sun?"
As Chen Xue spoke, she looked at Captain Sun who was not involved in the matter not far away. She knew that Qian Yayi was just a small soldier, and there was a big boss behind him after he was dealt with. It would be better for her to deal with the BOSS herself.
Captain Sun didn't expect Chen Xue to involve him, and he didn't avoid it, but shrugged his shoulders.
"Really? Why don't I remember this happening?"
Chen Xue and others narrowed their eyes. Although they had expected this, Captain Sun's inconsistency still made them a little angry.
"Is Captain Sun planning to cheat?" Lord Chen stepped forward, blocking his daughter's way and questioning her. "If this gets out, it'll be bad for Captain Sun's reputation!"
"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to talk to our captain like that?" The other yamen runners immediately jumped out to protect their master.
Lord Chen was not afraid at all and stared at Captain Sun. He had seen many big scenes, so how could he be afraid of a few yamen runners?
"Are you threatening me?" Captain Sun narrowed his eyes and spoke in a calm tone, but those who knew him knew that he was angry.
"I'm just telling the truth!"
Lord Chen still looked directly at Captain Sun and did not back down. Captain Sun was already planning to turn against them, so there was no need for him to give him face.
If we don't show strength, Captain Sun and his men will become more aggressive.
"Haha!" Captain Sun suddenly laughed, "Sorry, you threatened the wrong person."
As he spoke, his face turned cold and he sternly said, "Watch them now. If they dare to leave, they will be charged with desertion and killed without mercy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding yamen runners immediately surrounded the Chen family.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
At this moment, Yamen Runner Qian suddenly stepped forward and whispered, "But what? If you can hand over those methods, it's not impossible to take you into the city!"
"OK."
Chen Xue nodded without hesitation, which stunned Captain Sun and Qian Yayi. They didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.
The two of them had already thought of dozens of ways to deal with the Chen family, but they compromised after just using the first one?
This made them feel like they were punching cotton.
"However..." Chen Xue suddenly changed the subject, "You all know that I learned from the Kunshan Immortal. This method cannot be passed on to others. But if you become my disciple, then there will be no problem."
"impossible!"
Captain Sun refused without hesitation. What a joke! How could he possibly take a little girl as his master? If this got out, where would he put his face?
Besides, if they dared to pretend to be the Kunshan Immortal, even if they were disciples, they would offend the so-called Kunshan Immortal and would suffer retribution.
How dare he get involved? Is he afraid of losing his life?
"That's all I can do!" Chen Xue shrugged. "My master told me that if I pass it on to others, I'll be punished and struck by lightning."
boom--
Just as Chen Xue finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of thunder around, like a bolt from the blue, which scared everyone.
Captain Sun and others were horrified. They quickly took a few steps back, distanced themselves from Chen Xue, and looked up at the sky.
But they found that today was a clear and cloudless day, without even any white clouds, let alone dark clouds, but they actually heard thunder.
"this……"
Captain Sun stared at Chen Xue, feeling a little panicked. Could it be that she was really the disciple of the Kunshan Immortal?
Otherwise, she would suffer retribution and be struck by lightning as soon as she finished speaking. It was such a coincidence that such a bolt from the blue appeared!
Just as Captain Sun was staring at her in confusion, Chen Xue calmly put the recorder into the space, feeling fortunate that she had recorded the sound of thunder a few days ago.
Just when Captain Sun and others didn't know what to do, Chen Xue looked at Xu Tian and coughed softly, and Xu Tian came back to his senses from his surprise.
He took a step forward, but still subconsciously glanced at Chen Xue, because she felt that the thunder came from beside her.
"Captain, there's no need to do this!" Xu Tian was a little dissatisfied. "Haven't we brought prisoners into the city before? Why can't we do this this time?"
"This time is different." Captain Sun no longer had the same tough confidence as before.
"Why is it different?" Xu Tian had memorized the dialogue from Chen Xue long ago, and he said it out loud, "Master Chen is the 'mastermind' of this incident. If we don't let him follow us, what if he runs away? What if someone attacks the exile team to rescue him?"
Who has the guts to attack the exiled team?
After all, this was a slap in the face of the imperial court. How could the imperial court let off the people who attacked the exiled team?
And even if they rescued the Chen family, where could they run to? All under heaven belongs to the king, and they couldn't escape at all.
Others thought so, but Captain Sun had another idea.
"If Chen Yuan is allowed to enter the city, the Chen family will be dispersed, and Guo Qiang's men will have a better chance to take action. When Chen Yuan is in trouble, only Chen Xue will be left. It will be too easy for them to control her, just a little girl."
Although Captain Sun was a little apprehensive, he still did not give up the unknown means of getting Chen Xue.
"Okay!" He thought for a moment and nodded, pointing at Master Chen, "Then let him go into the city alone!"
Chen Xue frowned. This wouldn't do. His father went into the city alone and bought so many supplies that he had no place to put them. Besides, he didn't know what seasonings were needed for the hot pot.
More importantly, his father is penniless now, and it is difficult for her to avoid the eyes of others and give a large sum of money to her father.
