Chapter 321: The New Emperor x The Poor Princess of the Former Dynasty 4

Zhang Erniu turned his head trembling with fear, and a huge tiger head appeared in his sight.

Dabai opened his mouth wide and growled silently, with some fresh meat obviously hanging from his mouth.

"ah…"

The deafening screams woke up the nearby villagers, and everyone ran towards the place where Zhang Erniu was screaming with torches.

The village chief was walking in front, his face full of sternness. "It sounded like Erniu's voice. Why is he wandering around so late instead of going home?"

Aunt Zhang is the most gossipy, and her face is full of anticipation. "Village chief, you don't know, this Erniu has taken a fancy to Miss Qiao. From the direction of the screams, it should be near Miss Qiao's home. Could it be that he was bitten by a tiger?"

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment, but the village chief quickened his pace and said to the villagers behind him, "Stop talking nonsense and keep up."

Zhang Erniu was lying on the ground, apparently unconscious. The village chief checked him and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "There are no wounds. It wasn't caused by a tiger bite."

"Gouzi, find someone to send Erniu home. We can talk about anything after daybreak."

"The rest of the people went home to sleep, and they didn't feel tired at all in the middle of the night."

Aunt Qiao had no idea what happened that night and slept soundly until dawn.

Dabai has been much more obedient these past two days. He knows how to go up the mountain to find food at night. It seems that he can stay in Liuli Village for a while longer.

Just as Aunt Qiao finished her thought, there was a commotion at the gate, and from the sound, it seemed that there were quite a few people.

Dabai stood up with his teeth bared. Aunt Qiao quickly said, "Dabai, stay in the house and don't go out. I will call you if I encounter danger."

Dabai lay on the ground unwillingly, his eyes fixed on the door.

"Village chief, isn't it inappropriate for us to come here like this? If this tiger gets angry, we will be doomed."

"Shut up!" The village chief was feeling irritated, so his tone was naturally bad.

'Squeak'

When the door opened, the villagers quickly shut their mouths. When they saw that it was Aunt Qiao who opened the door and there was no trace of the tiger behind her, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Village Chief, why are you here? What's the matter?"

The village chief poked his head out to look, and seeing that there was no tiger in the yard, he suddenly became a little braver.

"It's like this, last night your tiger injured Erniu, his mother asked for an explanation"

Aunt Qiao's eyes were full of doubts, and she frowned and said, "That's impossible, Village Chief, may I ask when and where Erniu was bitten by Dabai?"

"Last night, at the west wall." The village chief told the truth. Erniu's mother was a difficult person, and he came over to ask because he couldn't stand it anymore.

Aunt Qiao suddenly realized, "So the scream last night was made by Zhang Erniu. That's strange. Isn't the west wall the wall of my house?"

"What is Zhang Erniu doing here in front of our wall at this time of night?"

Suddenly, Aunt Qiao panicked and said, "Village Chief, you have to make a decision for me. Does Zhang Erniu have any evil intentions towards me? Fortunately, Dabai protected me, otherwise, what would a weak woman like me do?"

The villagers never thought that Aunt Qiao would complain to them about her grievances, but it seemed that what she said made sense.

The honest Aunt Liu slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, it's true. Why didn't we think of this? Zhang Erniu is not a good person. What good intentions can he have when he comes here in the middle of the night?"

The village chief looked at Aunt Qiao hesitantly. He didn't dare to force Aunt Qiao to agree to Zhang Erniu's mother's request, but he couldn't afford to offend Zhang Erniu's mother, who was a shrew. In a dilemma, the village chief had to grit his teeth and said, "Miss Qiao, do you have someone you love?"

Qiao Jinjin looked at the village chief in confusion, not knowing what he was up to. "No."

The village chief heard this and thought there was something interesting going on, so he said, "It's like this, Erniu's family doesn't want to let it go, after all, it was your tiger that hurt Erniu, so they made a request: if you are willing to marry Erniu, not only will they forgive the past, they will even help you raise the tiger."

The more Jinjin Qiao listened, the angrier she became. Finally, her eyes turned red and she choked up and said, "Village Chief, I have a miserable life. I am all alone and helpless. Are you going to force me to do this? You know what kind of person Erniu is. How can you let me jump into the fire pit?"

Everyone felt sorry for Aunt Qiao's tearful look. They softened their hearts and blamed the village chief, "Village chief, you are wrong. Miss Qiao is so pitiful. How could you compromise just because Erniu's mother made a fuss?"

Qiao Jinjin was addicted to acting and suddenly shouted to the inside of the house, "Don't be angry, Dabai, they didn't force me, please don't come out and eat people!"

Dabai actually cooperated with the roar of a tiger, which scared the villagers so much that they all ran away.

In the blink of an eye, no one was at the gate. Aunt Qiao closed the door, clapped her hands proudly, and said sarcastically, "How dare you force me? Do you think I am easy to mess with?"

Every move here was seen by a man in black on a big tree not far away. This man in black was Shadow Shunfeng.

Shunfeng was sent by Jun Molin to protect Jinjin Qiao, and no one else knew about this except Shunfeng himself.

In the afternoon, there was another commotion at Erniu's house, but this time the village chief was angry and said bluntly that if Erniu's family continued like this, their Liuli Village would no longer keep them and they could go wherever they wanted.

After it was completely dark, Shunfeng used his Qinggong skills to fly to the village chief's house and kicked open the door when the village chief and his family were having dinner.

Shunfeng sat down at the dining table, slammed the sword in his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice, "I am very unhappy with what I did today. What kind of punishment do you want?"

The village chief was so frightened that he trembled and his voice trembled. "Why haven't you left Liuli Village yet? I thought you were gone."

Shunfeng glanced at the village chief, scanned the five of them and said, "You thought I was gone, so you went to embarrass Miss Qiao? You are so brave. How did I warn you at the beginning?"

The village chief was so scared that he knelt down and even kowtowed several times. The man in black in front of him was so scary. The murderous aura from the man in black almost made him pee his pants.

"No, no, I promise there won't be a next time."

Shunfeng looked at the village chief with disdain and said, "This is the last time. If it happens again, you and your family will not be able to survive. Don't even think about reporting it to the police. No one will care."

After that, he took out two silver bills from his chest and said, "This is two hundred taels of silver. If Miss Qiao's tiger causes any trouble again, you will have to pay the silver directly. Don't bother Miss Qiao. This is the last time I warn you."

Shunfeng left right after he finished speaking. He didn't dare to make any more mistakes as he had to protect Miss Qiao. If the tiger hadn't been so fast last night, Zhang Erniu would have probably lost his head.
