Chapter 923 Extra Chapter: Xuan Yun 5
"Da Long, please don't do this!"
Knowing that the guard had suffered an undeserved misfortune, the woman stopped thinking about it and reached out to pry the man's hand away, but the man named Da Long slapped her away.
"You wretched woman, I'll deal with you later."
As he spoke, Da Long glared fiercely at the woman, making her tremble in fright.
The two people on the other side saw everything that was happening here. Originally, they didn't want to get involved, but since this guy named Da Long was so shameless, they couldn't be blamed.
After glancing at their faces, Ji Wenxuan slowly stood up.
"Didn't you ask who hit you? It was me!"
Ji Wenxuan spoke slowly and deliberately, adjusting his clothes as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Da Long looked over and saw that the person standing in front of him was actually a frail-looking man.
With a sneer in his eyes, Da Long said, "You? Judging by your appearance, you probably wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken at home!"
Da Long clearly meant to make fun of Ji Wenxuan, but Ji Wenxuan ignored him and simply flicked his fingers. Da Long felt a sharp pain in his wrist and released his grip again.
"you!"
This time, Ji Wenxuan didn't try to hide it from people, so Da Long saw him throw the pebble.
"You little brat, it really was you who did it."
Perhaps Da Long has stayed in these places for too long, so he has no idea that there are people beyond people in this world.
He was used to being domineering in the village, and everyone had to give him some leeway. So when he met someone who didn't look as strong as him, he didn't take him seriously at all.
"Yes, I was the one who did it, so you want ten taels of silver from me?"
Before Da Long could even state his request, Ji Wenxuan gave him a heads-up.
Yes, that's right.
Da Long thought that Ji Wenxuan had heard what he said earlier and was afraid of him, so he immediately became arrogant and raised his head high to look at Ji Wenxuan.
Ji Wenxuan showed no dissatisfaction with his behavior. He walked three steps away from Dalong, looked at Dalong who was obviously a paper tiger, and curled the corners of his lips.
"I do have ten taels of silver, but someone like you isn't worthy."
Ji Wenxuan gestured for the guards to go forward and help the woman up, while he himself quietly watched Da Long glare at him.
"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll report you to the authorities. You're supposed to be a rich man's son; once you lose your reputation, how will you face anyone?"
Ji Wenxuan laughed when he heard Da Long's words. Over the years, he had seen countless scoundrels do such things, but he never expected that one day someone would actually use this trick to extort him.
Who is Ji Wenxuan? Although he has become much more mature in the past few years on the frontier, he was once notoriously unruly and dissolute in the capital.
His methods, like those of Da Long, were hardly enough to impress him.
"You should report this to the authorities as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late and waste my time. Of course, when I see the county magistrate, I will definitely tell him how I was extorted."
Ji Wenxuan's dismissive attitude, as if saying "come at me if you want," surprised Da Long.
It's said that rich people care about their image, and that's precisely why he dared to speak to Ji Wenxuan. He wouldn't dare actually report it to the authorities.
Caught off guard, the guards helped the woman up. Seeing her clutching her arm, Ji Wenxuan asked, "Young lady, are you alright?"
The woman wore a married woman's hairstyle, but she looked like she was in her teens.
Seeing that Ji Wenxuan was not frightened by the dragon, the woman instantly realized that he was a capable man, so she knelt down before him.
Lifting her arm, the woman cried out, "Young master, please, save me! I can't go on living like this!"
The woman's sudden action startled Ji Wenxuan, but remembering Da Long's rude and violent manner, Ji Wenxuan patiently looked at the woman.
“Whatever it is, please get up first. As for how you got this injury, if you are willing to report it to the authorities, I will definitely go with you.”
Seeing Ji Wenxuan's meticulous question, Xu Yunzhi couldn't help but smile slightly.
I've seen Ji Wenxuan in all sorts of ways before, but this is the first time I've seen him look at me with such sympathy.
Xu Yun rested his chin on his hand, craning his neck to see how Ji Wenxuan would handle the matter.
The woman slowly recounted, "I live in Zhangjia Village up ahead. Besides my parents, I have three brothers and sisters. Two years ago, due to a prolonged famine, I went to work in the next village. But I never expected that the son of my employer would take a liking to me and force my father to marry me to him."
"Because his family offered a very good price, and his parents saw that they were well-off and would get a good deal, they married their daughter off to them. But, but..."
The woman pointed at Da Long as she spoke, “That whole family are wolves. They not only make me work, but they also beat and scold me. His mother even resented that I couldn’t bear children, so she found a poor woman to marry. Now I’m a slave in their house. I do all the work, and I don’t even get a full meal.”
The woman was already sobbing uncontrollably. Ji Wenxuan listened quietly to her story, but Da Long couldn't bear it anymore.
He kicked the woman with his backhand and shouted, "You stinking woman, who told you not to lay eggs? You deserve it. And you dare to spout nonsense here? I'll beat you to death when we get back."
Da Long seemed to be used to hitting and cursing people, and at this moment, disregarding the presence of others, he started punching and kicking the woman.
Perhaps this is because his whole family beats and scolds women in the village in this way, so the villagers are used to it and don't say anything, thinking that no one will do anything about it.
Ji Wenxuan hates men who only know how to bully women. They can't do anything right, but they're good at beating women.
Reaching out to pull the woman up, Ji Wenxuan kicked the man's foot with a sharp sound. Da Long cried out in surprise and grabbed his leg.
"My legs, my legs hurt so much."
"Of course it hurts when your leg is broken."
Ji Wenxuan said something lightly, and Da Long immediately roared even louder.
"You stay with my legs, you stay with my legs."
"If you dare to yell again, I'll break your hand, believe it or not?"
The one who said this was the guard who had been standing to the side. Of all the people present, no one could see the woman's injuries better than him.
The new wounds were layered on top of the old ones, and in some places the flesh was turned inside out, making it look truly horrifying.
Having just broken his leg, he naturally didn't want to break his arm as well, so Da Long immediately stopped shouting.
It has to be said that it's really ridiculous and laughable that a man can't even bear this little bit of pain and is still crying and wailing.
Ji Wenxuan ignored Da Long and instead looked at the woman, saying, "You remember the way home, right? We'll take you back."
Ji Wenxuan thought the woman had come all this way to go home, but to his surprise, she shook her head.
