After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 169: Catch Them Back

When the boss saw that his reinforcements had arrived, he immediately straightened his back and was no longer as timid and frightened as before.

Just as he was about to run to the county magistrate, Chu Er grabbed the back of his clothes with one hand.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the boss turned right and wrong without thinking, "County Magistrate Yuan, this is unfair! I'm just doing a small business, how dare I do this? He is clearly framing me unjustly by saying this!"

"I just opened a business, but not only did they beat me, they also put so much moldy rice in my granary. I don't know if the high-quality rice was stolen by these people!"

Even though Chu Er had intimidated him before, the boss felt there was nothing to be afraid of when he thought about the county magistrate bringing a dozen soldiers with him.

Rather than being afraid of Chu Er, the most important thing for him now is to quickly pin the blame on someone else, otherwise...

Chu Er sneered. The "they" he mentioned here certainly could not be this group of weak, old, weak, women and children who were helpless and injured.

But he and the prince!

The scholar's face turned red with anger. Although he had passed the imperial examination, he was told that his father had passed away before he could be appointed as an official. He had no choice but to return home to attend the funeral.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had a rule that when a family member passed away, parents had to observe mourning for three years and were not allowed to serve as officials in the court. He was still in mourning period, and even though he had achievements, he had not yet been tempered, so he was naturally not good at arguing with villains.

He had never seen such false accusations before. With so many people watching, the shop owner could still confuse right and wrong. It was really despicable!

"You are talking nonsense! When have we ever exchanged the rice in the granary? It is obvious that you are so heartless that you are trying to get away with using moldy rice!"

Chu Xi saw that the scholar looked like he could faint from anger at any time. He had already been beaten many times, and his frail body was already struggling to hold on. If this continued, she was worried that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

She glanced sharply and coldly at her boss who kept saying that she was wronged, and observed the group of people who rushed in calmly.

A person who was not very tough was unwilling to open the door of the granary easily. If Chu Er had not used tough measures, the other party might have just gritted his teeth and persisted.

What does this mean?

This means that he is confident that the troops coming must be reinforcements!

Chu Xi thought about this and his eyes seemed to accidentally glance at the waiter hiding behind the soldiers. The waiter had been arrogantly and rudely sending away the people who couldn't afford to buy rice.

It is not difficult to tell from the other party's contemptuous eyes that he is not a cabbage in the field forced by the boss, but an accomplice who is in cahoots with the boss!

He had known the problem a long time ago, so when he saw that the situation was not right, he quickly ran out through the small door and brought in this group of reinforcements.

As for the county magistrate in front of him who was wearing a green official robe, he was obviously not an honest and upright official. He yawned and tilted his head slightly, listening to the advice whispered by the legal advisor beside him.

"Master, that young man in red looks a little unfamiliar. He doesn't look like one of our locals." The legal advisors are usually the county magistrate's right-hand men, and this one is no exception, except that this right-hand man is...

The “right and left hands” are all black!

The master's eyes flashed from time to time as he looked back and forth at Chu Xi. He saw that the jade pendant tied around the other's waist was not an ordinary item, and his temperament was not something that could be cultivated in a small city like Xi'an.

He lowered his voice again and reminded, "Master, this person is very well dressed. I'm afraid his background is not simple. He may be from a famous family..."

He was just about to say that it would be better to be careful with what you say so as not to give the other party any handle.

The county magistrate no longer had the patience to listen to him. He waved his hands with a frown on his face and said, "Take them all back to the county government office. They are obviously trespassing and injuring people without reason. Take them all back to be punished!"

The scholar was disappointed and found it very funny. He seemed to be laughing at himself for having held a little hope for the county magistrate...

Upon hearing this, Chu Xi took two steps forward. Chu Er released his grip on Dong Jia's hand, opened the umbrella he had put away earlier, walked up to Chu Xi, and shielded her head from the rain.

"Wait a minute, Mr. County Magistrate, you didn't even need to ask clearly what happened, but just took us back to be punished. Isn't this a bit too arbitrary?"

When the county magistrate heard that the person who was speaking was the young man who had been specifically reminded by the master to be careful in dealing with, he frowned impatiently and asked, "Are you the county magistrate, or am I the county magistrate?"

Then he glanced at the soldiers on both sides who hadn't moved, and without thinking, he shouted, "What are you doing? Do you think I'm raising you just to eat? Why don't you take them back?"

Chu Xi took the umbrella that Chu Er let go of. Chu Er drew his sword and stepped forward. In no time, he knocked down more than a dozen people to the ground. Many officers and soldiers were kicked to the ground by him before they even drew their swords.

Chu Er's kicks were so powerful that they could sweep away fallen leaves. Those who were kicked in the chest by him lay on the ground for a long time, covering their chests and rolling around, unable to get up!

When the county magistrate saw this, his face turned pale instantly. As for the boss who had just run to hide behind the county magistrate, his legs went weak and he kept swallowing his saliva, and his scalp went numb.

The legal advisor beside the county magistrate slapped his forehead and sighed. "Oh no! He knew these two people were not easy to deal with. He didn't expect that the master would not listen to his advice at all and just started to attack them. Now he has offended them!"

As soon as Chu Er started to take action, he kicked all the soldiers with swords present to the ground, leaving only the weak and powerless county magistrate and his legal advisor. No matter how stupid the county magistrate was, he didn't dare to shout loudly to arrest them!

"How dare you. You attack the imperial officials without reason and delay their investigation. According to the laws of the Great Zhou, you can be strangled on the spot!" The lawyer suppressed his fear, swallowed his saliva, and advised in a low voice.

"You, don't be impulsive. We can talk it out if there is anything. The county magistrate is here and will definitely bring justice to everyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scholar laughed first. The laughter, which was neither loud nor soft, seemed like a silent mockery, but it was also an invisible slap in the face of both the legal advisor and the county magistrate.

Chu Xi didn't want this scholar to be hated by them, so he could only sneer and said, "Then may I ask, wasn't it your county magistrate who said that he would take us all back to be punished and ordered these yamen runners to arrest us?"

The master was speechless when asked, "......" He couldn't refute this.

Chu Xi said something shocking again.

"I am a centurion under the command of Han Yaojun, the defender of Xi'an City. I was passing by here and accidentally ran into such an incident. I hope the county magistrate can really uphold justice for the people as the master said!"

Well, once these words were spoken, the identity was revealed.

The county magistrate almost slipped, but the legal advisor next to him quickly caught him. Who would have thought that he was such a tough guy. This young boy actually held an official position!

The legal advisor widened his eyes and looked at the pale-faced county magistrate beside him with a little worry. To have become a centurion at such a young age meant that he...either had outstanding martial arts skills or was from a noble family with a good family background.

No matter which one it is, the master has made a mistake.
