308: Fighting with Chen Er to Save the Daughter

Su Zhi looked at those angry men rushing out of the clinic, listened to the crying of those women and children, her brows wrinkled more and more. She didn't expect that the matter that had been settled would cause disputes again. In this drought, she had long realized that there would be some conflicts and fights, especially after the incident with the refugees from Hebian Village. But she didn't expect that after just one fight, another one would come soon, and it had developed to the point of hijacking the county magistrate. To put it more seriously, this is already a rebellion!

Shen Zian held Su Zhi's hand and comforted her, saying, "It's okay, I'm here, those people are just after food."

Su Zhi nodded. She knew that the refugees were just desperate because they were so hungry. But looking at the situation on the way here, these people had already harmed the lives of the common people. How could these people be innocent? Moreover, threatening the government to release grain was a rebellion. The most ridiculous thing was that these refugees were not from this county at all. If they wanted to open the warehouse to release grain, they should go to their territory!

"I don't know what happened to the county magistrate. Those people have come to this point now. I wonder if they will do something even more harmful?"

Su Zhi thought of Magistrate Zhou. Although the magistrate was not a great official and did not have the ability to solve cases like a god or make the people under his rule rich, he was not a bad official after all. Moreover, they had interacted several times and even had business connections. This made Su Zhi worry about him, after all, human lives were at stake.

Shen Zian watched groups of men running towards the county government office. He pursed his lips, shook Su Zhi's hand, and said, "Wife, I'm going to go over there and take a look. You wait here for me and don't go out."

When Su Zhi heard that Shen Zian was going, she immediately said she would go too.

Shen Zian disagreed. Who knew what the situation was there? He didn't want to let his wife go there alone to take risks.

"I want to go. There might be injured people there. I want to save them! With you by my side, I will be fine."

Su Zhi said this, half because she really wanted to go there to see if there was anyone who needed her help, and the other half because she was thinking about Shen Zian. Although her husband was very capable, those refugees could not threaten him even if they had knives and sticks in their hands. But as his wife, she still wanted him to take fewer risks. With her by his side, he would definitely take care of her first and not be so careless.

In the end, Shen Zian still obeyed Su Zhi.

Xiao Dalu finally came along. His family didn't allow him to come, but he had a good reason. He wanted to protect Su Zhi because she had just saved his sister. Su Zhi had saved Xiao Ping'er twice, and in such an awkward situation between the Shen and Xiao families, this was more than a great favor. Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao were no longer afraid when they heard this reason. So Xiao Dalu caught up.

The people on the street were in a mess. Some were running towards the government office. These people were generally men, holding weapons that could be used for fighting. Those running in the opposite direction included men, women, old and young. These were people who were afraid of being hurt.

The three of them followed the crowd and ran towards the government office. Xiao Dalu picked up two thick bamboos on the road and gave one to Shen Zian. Shen Zian took it. In fact, he had a whip on him. It was tied around his waist, and covered by clothes. It was not visible. This had become a habit of his. But he would not take it out easily. He was also very good at using a stick.

Not far from the government office is the sugar warehouse, which is now packed with people and a fight has already broken out.

Su Zhi looked at those people who were beaten to a bloody pulp, and many of them had already fallen to the ground, rolling and howling. This scene made her face pale. She had never seen such a large-scale fight before, and it looked like they were really fighting for their lives!

"Stop fighting!"

Su Zhi screamed loudly. She saw an old man with gray hair being knocked to the ground by a young refugee. She saw a woman in rags being grabbed by the hair and slapped by a teenager. She saw a child crying in the crowd. The people fighting didn't care about him at all. He was knocked down and was about to be stepped on. Su Zhi finally lost control.

Shen Zian moved quickly. He rushed over and pulled the child up. There was already a man standing where the child had just fallen. It is conceivable that if the child had been pulled away by Shen Zian a second later, he would have been stepped on by the man's big feet and would have been either dead or injured.

This situation was still happening, and people continued to fall to the ground and scream in pain.

Su Zhi was a woman whose voice was usually soft and pleasant, and everyone liked to listen to her. But when everyone was furious, no one heard what she said.

Shen Zian put the stunned child next to Su Zhi and asked her to look after him. He also asked Xiao Dalu to keep an eye on Su Zhi, and then he rushed forward.

"Sister Shen, is it okay for Brother Shen to go alone?"

Xiao Dalu saw Shen Zian rushing through the crowd. He wanted to rush forward because of his unstoppable momentum, but he had to protect Su Zhi, so he could only stand and watch, and knock down some people who wanted to rush to greet them. It must be said that although Xiao Dalu was only a teenager, he was much stronger than those refugees who had not eaten enough for many days.

Su Zhi said, "He has killed tigers before, so he will be fine. But what is going on inside? Since they have kidnapped the county magistrate, why would they fight?"

In fact, just before they rushed over, the Magistrate had been rescued. Because he had no one to capture, the Magistrate was very angry and wanted to arrest all the refugees. The refugees were afraid of being arrested, so they started to fight. When Shen Zian rushed over, he saw that the Magistrate was fine. There was a person standing in front of him. He knew this person, it was Song Dashan. Shen Zian didn't expect Song Dashan to be here, but he had a good relationship with Song Dashan. Although the two families were destined to become strangers because of that embarrassing incident, it did not affect their friendship.

"Stop hitting me! Stop it! Stop hitting me! If you continue hitting me, I'll throw you all into jail!"

County Magistrate Zhou was shouting loudly, but his shouting only made the refugees fight more fiercely. These people took his words as a threat. They didn't want to wait to go to jail, and they knew that even if they stopped now, they would be arrested and thrown into jail. They didn't believe the government's words. The government kept saying that they would give them food, but they didn't see a grain of food!

Next to the county magistrate, there was a person lying on the ground. He was a somewhat old man. Shen Zian recognized him. He was one of the refugees who had been to Hebian Village. He had been standing in front and had spoken. He was the leader, so Shen Zian knew him. He fell to the ground with blood on his head. It was unknown whether he was unconscious or dead.

"Fourth Brother Shen! You're here!"

There was blood on Song Dashan's arm. When he saw Shen Zian coming, a look of surprise appeared on his face, because he knew Shen Zian's abilities.

Shen Zian nodded. He looked at the still-shouting County Magistrate Zhou. He then looked at the scene not far away and frowned. Only five or six meters away from him, a man was holding a little girl. The child was strangled by the neck, her face was red, and she was almost out of breath. And that man was Chen Er. The man who had once gone to their Hebian Village and wanted to stay there, he didn't expect that he would now take the path of threatening the government.

When Chen Er saw Shen Zian, a smile appeared on his face. That smile was calm yet mad.

"Shen Zian from Hebian Village?! I didn't expect to see you at this time! Your lucky wife didn't come with you? The Holy Beast didn't come with you?"

Chen Er shouted loudly. Although he had only seen Shen Zian a few times, he remembered him. Shen Zian was good-looking, but he was also jealous of Shen Zian. Shen Zian was also a village man, but he was blessed by God. He married a good wife, was loved by the Holy Beast, lived in a big house, was respected, and even had a pond that would not dry up when there was a drought, but he had none of these.

"Let go of that little girl. You're going to strangle her to death."

When Shen Zian saw that the little girl was about the same age as Yueyue, his brows furrowed even deeper. Not only was Su Zhi a woman who loved children, he was also a man who loved children.

Chen Er looked down at the little girl, but he didn't loosen his grip. Instead, he used more force. He smiled cruelly and said, "Ha, why should I be gentler? Do you know who this little girl is? She is the daughter of this official! Look how worried this official is now? He loves his daughter so much! I just want to make him feel distressed. Only when he feels distressed can he give us food! This rich girl is a human being, but we are not?! Lord Zhou! Quick! Open the warehouse and release the food. Also, don't arrest us. If you arrest us, I will kill your daughter!"

Chen Er shouted loudly. He felt very majestic at this moment. He had never felt so majestic in his life. He was afraid before, but now he was not afraid at all!

County Magistrate Zhou was anxious. The little girl was his youngest daughter, a daughter born in middle age, and he doted on her very much. Seeing his daughter suffer, he wanted to open the warehouse and release the grain immediately, but that would be a serious crime! He was so anxious that he couldn't even speak.

"Chen Er, let this little girl go. She is a rich lady. Her father is the county magistrate. She is of noble status. Not to mention the granary, even gold, silver and jewelry can be given to you."

Shen Zian put emphasis on the four words "gold, silver and jewelry". He thought to himself that Chen Er was an ambitious villain who might be greedy for money. In this situation, he was betting that Chen Er would give up the idea of ​​leading everyone to share the food and choose personal interests.

Chen Er's eyes flickered. He was just a countryman. Gold and silver were very attractive to him. Bringing everyone to threaten the government was not his idea, but someone else's. He just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits, but he didn't expect to be discovered and then forced to this point. In this situation, no matter whether he could force the county magistrate to open the warehouse and release the grain, he knew that he would not have a good ending. Anyone could escape punishment, but he couldn't. Who asked him to kidnap the county magistrate and his daughter?

If he could escape with the gold and silver, then he still had hope of survival, and a comfortable life!

When County Magistrate Zhou heard what Shen Zian said, he immediately said that he would give all the gold and silver in the house to Chen Er, only begging him to let his daughter go.

Chen Er looked at those who were still fighting, and saw that no one was watching him. He lowered his voice and said, "Give me the gold and silver, and I'll leave! Pack up the gold, silver, and jewelry for me, and prepare a horse for me. Meet at the city gate!"

As Chen Er was speaking, he walked backwards with the little girl. When he thought it was safe, he turned around and ran. However, before he had taken a few steps, he felt a gust of wind coming from behind, and then he felt pain in both arms. His hands loosened involuntarily, and the little girl in his hands fell to the ground.

Shen Zian broke Chen Er's arm, kicked him to the ground, and stepped on him.

County Magistrate Zhou ran over and rushed to the little girl who was lying on the ground coughing and crying. He held her tightly in his arms and kept coaxing her with his tender heart. After coaxing her, he glared at Chen Er fiercely and shouted loudly: "Someone come, tie up this thief for me!"

Two constables came up and quickly tied up Chen Er.

Chen Er's arms were like two broken branches, dangling there, and he cried out in pain. Shen Zian pushed him back to his original position, and he looked at Shen Zian, cursing him non-stop. He was slapped several times by the officer, and finally fainted and was taken away.

Song Dashan said to Shen Zian: "Fourth Brother Shen, you are amazing! I admire you!"

Shen Zian shook his hands. He just saw through Chen Er's thoughts, so he could attack him when he was not prepared without hurting the little girl in his hands.

"Master Zhou, is your daughter okay?"

Shen Zian asked. Although he didn't know how to treat illnesses, he was quite familiar with external injuries because he had been hunting for many years. He looked at the little girl's neck and found a red mark. However, the little girl cried quite loudly, so it seemed that she was fine. He breathed a sigh of relief.

The county magistrate thanked Shen Zian repeatedly. He thought it was his fortune to know Shen Zian and his wife. Su Zhi helped him make money, and Shen Zian saved their family from danger. It turned out that the families favored by the holy beast were extraordinary! He would have to get closer to them in the future!

Seeing that everything was fine here, Shen Zian waved his hand and ran outside quickly. He didn't know if there was still a fight outside, but he wanted to go see his wife.

At this moment, a dull sound suddenly rang out in the air, causing Shen Zian to stop. He raised his head and looked over, and found that the sky, which had been clear just now, was now filled with a lot of clouds. The sun had long been blocked by the clouds, which were dark.

"Thunder!"

The network is a bit unstable today. I just got back online, so I'll upload 4,000 first, and then code. I hope the rest of the chapters can be uploaded. If there is nothing today, it must be that I haven't gotten back online. Don't think I'm lazy. Let me know first, otherwise I'll be worried if it doesn't get uploaded.
