Anger was boiling in her eyes and her fingers were trembling slightly, but it did not affect her approach to the shopkeeper at all.
Once again meeting Fang Qingyue's gaze, the shopkeeper suddenly felt weak all over and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Lady, spare my life, lady, spare my life!"
"Tell me, what is going on here?!" Fang Qingyue said viciously with anger flashing in her eyes.
"I... I and the local tyrants set up an ambush in advance..." The shopkeeper almost collapsed to the ground. Fang Qingyue's blade landed on his neck, leaving him no chance of escape. "I really know my mistake."
"Do you admit your mistake?" Fang Qingyue was furious, the tip of the blade almost touching the shopkeeper's neck. "What about your wife and children?"
"I sold my wife and children, but I had no other choice. I had to do this." The shopkeeper urinated from his crotch and looked at Fang Qingyue pleadingly. "This shop has been passed down for generations, and now it's about to go bankrupt in my hands. Even if my father doesn't blame me, I still feel guilty."
"If not, how could I do such a thing?"
He sounded pitiful, but Fang Qingyue was shocked and angry when she heard it.
In order to own a shop, he had to sell his wife and children and even become involved with bad people.
It's really the behavior of a beast.
"You are such a despicable person. You can say such vicious things with such confidence. It's really hateful!" She gritted her teeth and stared at the man.
Because he was too angry, the tip of the blade was even a little further away from the shopkeeper for a moment.
The shopkeeper felt the tip of the blade moving away from his neck, so he quietly took out the dagger hidden behind his waist and stabbed it towards Fang Qingyue.
His movements were too fast, and Fang Qingyue had no time to react and could not avoid them at all.
Shen Yuhan had been staring at this side, and when he saw the shopkeeper's actions, he immediately pounced towards the two of them.
His arms were firmly blocking Fang Qingyue.
The dagger slashed across his strong forearm, leaving a bloody mark.
Fang Qingyue screamed as the guards rushed in and pinned the shopkeeper to the ground.
As for the others, they had already been pinned to the ground by the guards and could no longer struggle.
After everything was settled, Fang Qingyue took Shen Yuhan back to the room and took out medicine to bandage Shen Yuhan's wound.
With deft movements, she hooked the gauze with her fingertips and tied a beautiful knot. "Luckily, the shopkeeper's dagger wasn't stained with poison, otherwise it would have been troublesome."
Fang Qingyue was naturally beautiful. When she bent down to apply medicine to Shen Yuhan, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, like a small fan.
Occasionally, it fluttered as she blinked, bringing a slight itch that seemed to stir people's hearts.
Shen Yuhan looked down at the ointment in Fang Qingyue's hand and whispered, "Did Doctor Mu make this ointment?"
Although he knew that Fang Qingyue had some medical skills, he only thought that Fang Qingyue knew some simple pharmacology. He didn't think Fang Qingyue knew anything too complicated.
"I made all of these myself." Fang Qingyue lowered her head, put away the medicine jars and placed them in the medicine box.
"You made it yourself?" Shen Yuhan was a little surprised for a moment.
There are many things to do in the Inspectorate, and although he has been to the clinic several times, he is not very familiar with Fang Qingyue's medical skills.
Now, hearing that she actually has the ability to prepare ointments by herself, I suddenly felt a little strange.
In his eyes, Fang Qingyue was just a little woman who needed to depend on him. Although she did have some abilities, she also had to live under his protection. He never thought that she was so outstanding.
If she were not Fang Xifu's daughter, but just an ordinary woman, her life would probably be much better than it is now.
Thinking this in his heart, the look in his eyes when he looked at Fang Qingyue was naturally not as contemptuous as before.
He reached out, held Fang Qingyue in his arms, and let her sit on his lap.
Fang Qingyue wanted to struggle, but considering the wound on Shen Yuhan's arm, she could only sit on his lap.
Just thinking of Shen Yuhan's guard standing beside her, Fang Qingyue's pretty face suddenly turned a little red.
Shen Yuhan squeezed Fang Qingyue's hand vigorously, signaling her to calm down. He then had the local tyrant, who had just been captured, brought in for a thorough interrogation.
There was someone outside the door who was staring at this place. He was one of the people sent by the local tyrant.
The man had just had a stomachache and did not come in, but he happened to see this scene.
Shen Yuhan was just about to ask Fang Qingyue about her medical skills when she sensed the gaze outside the door and raised her hand to shoot out the dagger.
The man was also a martial artist. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately leaned to the side. The tip of the dagger rubbed against his face, scraping off a layer of flesh.
Blood spurted out immediately.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party turned around and ran away.
Several guards immediately chased after him, but the man was too fast and they couldn't catch up for a while.
Shen Yuhan also stood up. After knowing that the man had slipped away, the expression on his face became even uglier.
"Tell the truth, or you will die here."
He stepped on the shopkeeper's chest with such force that the shopkeeper could hardly breathe.
The shopkeeper's face turned purple, and he begged for mercy: "Please let me go, I really have no choice."
"You had no choice?" Fang Qingyue was already filled with hatred when she heard that he had sold his wife and children. Shen Yuhan's injury made her eyes full of resentment. "How dare you tell me you had no choice? Even if this shop is gone, you can still make a profit by selling the land. Even if you can't revitalize this inn, you can rent a small shop and start over slowly."
"But just for your selfish reasons, you even sold your own wife and children. You had no choice, but what about your wife and children who suffered because of you selling them? Do they deserve it?"
This world is inherently unfair to women.
Men can have three wives and four concubines, but women can only obey their husbands after marriage.
If a woman has no children, she will still take a concubine for the man, regardless of whether the reason lies with the woman or not.
Now this shopkeeper is actually going to sell his wife and children for money. It is really disgusting.
"I..." The shopkeeper lowered his head and dared not say anything else.
…
"What happened?" The man with the wound on his face was discovered by the local tyrant as soon as he returned. Seeing his appearance, the local tyrant frowned tightly.
"Boss, a few of us went to the inn to set up an ambush. Unexpectedly, the man who captured Manager Wu was so skilled that if I hadn't had a stomachache and was a step behind, I'm afraid he would have been captured too."
"Now that the shopkeeper has been caught and questioned, I'm afraid he'll reveal our secrets. If that's the case, we're finished!"
He covered his face with his hands, and his chest was stained with his own blood, looking extremely disheveled.
The local tyrant frowned fiercely: "What a bunch of losers, they can't even handle this kind of thing."
"Hurry up and send someone to kill Manager Wu to prevent future troubles. If this matter cannot be handled well, you will commit suicide to apologize!" The local tyrant waved his hand fiercely.
"Yes." The man hurried to summon the assassins.
The local tyrant fiercely grasped the armrest of the imperial chair, his face grimacing: "No matter who comes to my Qi County today, I will make sure he leaves without a chance to return."
