Chapter 257: Tit for Tat



Xie Erhu and his brothers stood in the yard with their hands on their hips, pointing at Wang Wu who had just finally climbed out of the clay pit, and laughing like the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters who had walked out of hell.

This made Wang Wu and his gang terrified.

Especially the group of people, young and old, standing behind him. Many of them had their hair disheveled, their clothes torn, and they were holding bloody sticks, spoons, forks...

They stood in Wang Wu's courtyard like demons from hell.

An uncle from Dongcheng District had long been fed up with Wang Wu's behavior, and just now, he took his four sons and defected to the Xie family camp during the chaos. Not only did he beat up several hooligans, he also broke several of their arms.

Seeing that everyone had not figured out the key point yet, the old man couldn't help but stick his crutch to the ground.

The sound of "bang" woke everyone up: "Neighbors, Wang Wu is a talentless, selfish, and incapable of thinking about everyone. He is no longer worthy of being the head of our East District! I will go to the government office and ask the officials to remove him from his position as head of the village!"

"Yes, remove him!"

"Withdraw him!"

The crowd was indignant, shouting loudly! Everyone unanimously demanded that Wang Wu step down!

Until this moment, Wang Wu was really scared. He held his brother's arm and retreated to the backyard, staring at Xie Erhu and his gang with a poisonous look!

Even if he is unwilling, he knows that a wise man will not suffer a loss in front of him.

Seeing that his group of brothers were outnumbered, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout, "Retreat, retreat!"

You bunch of bastards, just wait for me, I, Wang Wu, will come back sooner or later!

Qiao Xin, the Eighth Prince, Zhang Yun and others were in the attic of Yu Mancang and witnessed it all with their own eyes!

Look at this group of people who usually see them lying on the ground in a humble manner, and they actually burst out with such amazing strength. Even Zhang Yun, who is used to seeing big scenes, was shocked!

She was even more surprised that the old lady's tactic of using the old lady's opponent's force to counter attack was so effective.

Only Qiao Xin was not surprised at all. Never underestimate the ability of ordinary people to protect their own interests. Usually they look like a pile of loose sand, unable to accomplish anything big. Once someone takes the lead to unite them, once they explode, it will be earth-shaking.

The Eighth Prince seemed to have opened his eyes. He asked Qiao Xin in disbelief: "This is horrible. Are they always like this? What's the difference between them and refugees?"

Qiao Xin lowered her eyebrows and whispered, without a trace of smile in her eyes: "Aren't they refugees? They have suffered hardships for generations to have this roof over their heads. How can they not cherish it?

You think it's not worth it, but that's something you were born with, so you naturally can't realize it. You thought you'd rot in this quagmire your whole life, but now someone is willing to help them live a better life, why don't you think they want to do it?"

The eighth prince pursed his lips, as if thinking about something!

Seeing him acting like a little adult, Qiao Xin couldn't help but laugh. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her head, "Why are you so worried at such a young age? Eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink. Go downstairs and have a rest. I'll take you to the theater tonight!"

The eighth prince, uh, is watching a show?

At night, when Qiao Xin took him to stand on someone else's roof and watch the guards shooting arrows and killing enemies, he finally understood what Qiao Xin meant by watching a show!

It's no wonder that the old lady didn't take the person behind Wang Wu seriously. Maybe the other party was too arrogant and domineering and didn't take these refugees seriously. Maybe he had never been slapped in the face like this before and was eager to recall the factory.

The other party didn't even ask questions, but dared to send people here to kill and burn!

After a long night of cold wind, Qiao Xin kicked the guy who shot arrows from the rooftop. The crossbow in the other person's hand was successfully sunk before he could shoot it out.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you dare to do evil with such a little kung fu, who gave you the courage?"

The eighth prince stood behind the shopkeeper, staring in amazement as Qiao Xin easily dealt with the assassin who had sneaked into Du Yumancang.

He finally understood the mentality of Xu Can and the boys in the Qiao family, whose eyes lit up when they mentioned Qiao Xin.

How can there be such a skilled grandmother? These men in black are all family deadpools, each of them is one in a hundred, and each of them is very capable. Why are they like little chickens in front of her? They can't even show their fighting ability.

I didn't see how Qiao Xin moved, but that punch and that palm strike instantly made people lose the power to resist!

Soon, Zhang Yun came in from outside and reported: "Madam, everything over there has been resolved!"

"Okay, got it!" Qiao Xin raised his foot and kicked the man in black closest to him. The other man groaned in pain and woke up.

"Don't play dead now that you're awake. Go back and tell your master that I'll deliver 100,000 taels of silver before dawn. Otherwise, I'll come to get it myself!"

"You...don't even think about it!"

Qiao Xin squatted in front of the other person, stretched out her hand and patted his face, and said nonchalantly: "You can try it. Others are afraid of your Wen family, but I am not. If you provoke others, you just want to pat your butt and walk away! The cheeky young master doesn't look good, but he thinks it's beautiful!"

Hearing this, the man looked at Qiao Xin in horror!

How did he know that they were sent by the Wen family? They never wore any tokens of the family's emblem!

Qiao Xin continued, "I said you are from the Wen family, so the evidence is solid. If your family head really doesn't care about his face, then what is my Qiao family afraid of?"

The man staggered to his feet, not daring to delay any longer, and walked out the door impatiently!

Qiao Xin looked at the other person's figure and pursed her lips.

What was supposed to come finally came. Fortunately, she was not completely unprepared. Wasn't the Wen family determined to put the Qiao family to death? If she had been cautious a year ago, she would have avoided the sharp edge and forbeared and yielded. But now the eldest and the third brother hold military power, and the second brother is almost a provincial governor. If she is still submissive, what is the point of living?

Besides, the eldest brother and the stepmother of the Heng Wen family are the married daughters of the Wen family! Didn't they send a Hua Guan family to Weizhou Prefecture to frame them in the early spring? If Zhang Yun and his men hadn't taken action first, the two families would have been at war long ago!

Later, Zhang was humiliated by him and opened a rouge and powder shop in anger, but she broke the monopoly of the Wen family and openly snatched many of the Wen family's high-end customers.

Whether Qiao Xinyu’s warehouse is full is just a small matter. It is the Qiao family’s printing workshop that is the biggest blow to the core interests of the Wen family!

The most famous bookstore in the capital was Lu Le's mother's dowry. It was originally a cash cow given by the Wen family to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, Qiao Xin has snatched a lot of business from it, and the feud between the two families has become deeper and deeper.

Every word uttered by Qiao Xin seemed to be precisely targeted at the Wen family, how could this not make the other party angry and humiliated, and become desperate!

It is understandable that such murder and arson are committed now!
