Chapter 24
Wen Tian bit his lip, loosened his hands tightly in his sleeves, and shook his head at Chu Xiangtian.
But in fact, he was afraid of it. It was the same in his previous life. At that time, the entire Wen family was controlled by Wen Boli. The ones who were disobedient to his servants sold and those who were dismissed were dismissed. They were isolated and helpless. The mother was forced to press her handprint on the divorce letter. At that time, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded them, and they drove them out of their home that originally belonged to them without even having to clean up a piece of clothing.
The moment the officers and soldiers surrounded them, he almost thought that history would happen again. His nails were deeply trapped in his palms, so he barely maintained his composure to confront them because he knew that he could not retreat.
Chu Xiangtian's appearance was like a fresh air suddenly coming into the suffocating space. Wen Tian took a deep breath and felt that his heart was pounding. Perhaps it was because his posture of kicking the two officers and soldiers was too strong and ruthless. Even if he was only alone, Wen Tian quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Xiangtian couldn't see the fear in his eyes. He wanted to reach out and rub the young master's head, so he didn't want to be afraid, and he was worried that Fu Youqin was right next to him, so he could only smile at him comfortably, tell him not to worry, and then firmly blocked the two of them.
He was tall and neatly dressed in black suit. When he squinted his eyes and looked at the opposite side, he exuded a devouring evil spirit. This was developed by years of fighting on the battlefield. Even the bravest enemies would be frightened when they saw him, not to mention these ordinary officers and soldiers who had never experienced war.
The officers and soldiers standing in front subconsciously took a step back. After reacting, they felt too imposing and even the bandit leader was afraid, which was too shameless. The officers and soldiers in the lead took a step forward and raised their heads bluffingly, "The government handles cases, if you don't want to die, just get out of here!"
A cold gaze fell on the opposite side, and Chu Xiangtian looked at them expressionlessly, coldly spitting out a word, "Get out."
"What a courage!" The leader was angry with his attitude and pointed the knife in his hand at him, "If you don't let go, you, the bandit leader, will be suppressed together!"
Chu Xiangtian's expression remained unchanged at all, his eyes swept over him lightly, and he stood there motionlessly.
"Or...you'd better leave first?" Wen Tian pulled his sleeve from behind and whispered.
Chu Xiangtian is here, Wen Tian is much more at ease. At least they are not isolated and helpless. Although he didn't say it, Wen Tian just thinks that Chu Xiangtian will definitely protect them.
But he cannot be so selfish. No matter how powerful Chu Xiangtian is, he will not be able to get benefits when facing more than twenty officers and soldiers on the other side, not to mention that he is sensitive and sensitive. The officers and soldiers are still a little afraid of them and may not dare to see blood. However, it is different to Chu Xiangtian, the bandit leader. If he can't speak, he will be really serious.
Chu Xiangtian looked at his slightly panicked expression, but couldn't help but rub his head and whispered: "It's okay, Zhou Chuanqing is going to call someone." Zhou Chuanqing didn't follow him, probably because he was going to find Wei Yang's people.
Fu Youqin frowned slightly as he looked at Chu Xiangtian's movements, but now it is not the time to think about this, she also agreed with Wen Tian's words, "This is a private matter of the Wen family, and there is no need for Mr. Chu to take risks."
Chu Xiangtian was from the court, but Fu Youqin was not sure if he had any companions. At this time, there was no need to drag the other party down.
"Madam, don't worry, my people will arrive soon." Chu Xiangtian explained to them and asked Wen Ji to take them back a little, while he continued to stand in front.
The officers and soldiers were already impatient. They were not doing this trip, but Wen Boli promised that they would pay 50 taels of silver each after the work was completed, so they came over very hard. But after all, Wen Tian and his son did not commit any crime. In order not to attract too much attention, it would be best to fight quickly.
The officers and soldiers in the lead raised their hands, and the officers and soldiers behind them pulled out the sword from their waists, and pointed at them with twenty swords.
"I'll say it last, come with us obediently, otherwise don't blame the sword for being blind!"
Chu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes slightly, moved his wrist slightly, his muscles tightened, and the two sides were tense, and the atmosphere was about to break out.
"stop!"
Zhou Chuanqing rushed in with a team of elite soldiers wearing armor, quickly blocking Chu Xiangtian, confronting the officers and soldiers.
"The movement is so slow." Chu Xiangtian put down his hand and muttered dissatisfiedly.
Zhou Chuanqing: “…”
Wei Yang, who was following with him, waved his hand and asked someone to tie up the twenty or so officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers in charge swallowed their saliva and shouted bluffingly: "Who are you?! Do you dare to capture the imperial officials?"
Wei Yang smiled with his hands in his arms, his face was a little round, looking at his kind and kind look, but his words were so angry that his lungs were hurt.
"I am your ancestor! I will kill you, the group of puppies, by the emperor's order. Do you think I am brave or not?"
The officers and soldiers in the leader were trembling with anger, staring at him and unable to speak.
Wei Yang looked at him with a better expression, and then he became more normal. "Wei Yang, the Minister of Justice, was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of Nanming County. All those who are related to the county magistrate of Nanming County will be brought back for trial."
All he brought were elite soldiers. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took down all the people, including Wen Boli and others who had been watching by the side before.
Wen Boli's legs were weak when he heard that the people associated with the Nanming County Magistrate were about to take them down. He looked at Wei Yang tremblingly, and said with a hint of luck: "Sir, we are just the common people involved, somehow we want to arrest us?"
Wei Yang turned to look at him, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Wen Boli shook his head in horror, looking at the smile on his face, feeling panicked.
"I found this in the study of the Sifang Town County Magistrate," Wei Yang shook the letter he found, his face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "I took them out!"
A team of elite soldiers rushed out, and there were still four or five elite soldiers who did not leave. They stayed with Wei Yang and looked at Chu Xiangtian with a gaze.
These people all came back with Chu Xiangtian, but Chu Xiangtian said he wanted to handle the case and threw them in Qingyang, the capital city. The people who were used to fighting on the battlefield could not stay idle at all. They were idle in Changcao in the capital city. When they heard that Wei Yang was coming to Nanming County, they followed him with vain.
At this moment, they were all looking at Chu Xiangtian, eager to go back to the border quickly. They had been holding back for several months without a war and were in a state of ease.
Chu Xiangtian glanced at several subordinates coldly, turned his head and comforted Wen Tian with a gentle voice. He almost started fighting just now. The young master was a little scared, his face was so pale.
Wen Tian carefully looked at the mighty elite soldiers, and said to Chu Xiangtian with some concern: "They are all looking at you, have you recognized your identity?"
"No." Chu Xiangtian opened his eyes and said lies, "They don't know me."
Wen Tian frowned and was a little worried. He even changed his seat with Chu Xiangtian, trying to cover him with his body a little so that those people would continue to look at him.
Chu Xiangtian felt very comfortable in his heart. The young master was caring for him. He curled his lips happily, turned his face and glared at his subordinates without any eyes.
Why don’t you leave quickly? Are you pretending to be a stick here?!
Subordinates: "..."
The men with big nerves realized that something was wrong later. They looked at each other and looked at the person in front of the general. They showed that the man knew what he knew, and immediately scattered and took Wei Yang out by the way, so as not to be revenge by the general.
Without threat, Wen Tian relaxed his expression. He looked at Fu Youqin who was being held by the butler and asked worriedly whether he would call the doctor over.
Fu Youqin shook her head. She was just too nervous just now. The crisis relieved her nerves and suddenly relaxed. The ups and downs made her body feel a little unbearable.
"I'll take care of my mother." Wen Shuyue came over with her maid. She was in the backyard. After hearing the movement, she originally wanted to come out, but was stopped by the servants arranged by Fu Youqin in advance. She ran over anxiously until the officers and soldiers retreated.
Wen Shuyue helped Fu Youqin to rest in the backyard. Zhou Chuanqing's eyes paused on her back, then withdrew her gaze and told Chu Xiangtian that he would follow Wei Yang to take a look.
Wen Tian wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and settled the servants in the mansion with Wen Ji. Most of these servants were long-time workers in the mansion, and were originally from the Fu family and were loyal to the Fu family. Therefore, they did not retreat when it was so dangerous just now.
But everyone was an ordinary person who had never seen a real sword and a gun. Wen Tian was so scared that he asked Wen Ji to give them silver rewards and take a vacation, so he asked them to rest for a few days.
The servants dispersed and told Wen Ji to close the door. Wen Tian asked Chu Xiangtian if he wanted to go back together. He thanked Chu Xiangtian from the bottom of his heart. Chu Xiangtian helped him twice, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Wen Tian regarded him as a respected benefactor.
Chu Xiangtian looked at the young master's frightened look and gently pinched his face. He was very moved, but when he thought that there was something to deal with, he still refused cruelly, "You go back first and have a good rest. I'll handle some things and come back."
Wen Tian nodded and went back to the yard with Dai Fu to rest. He was scared and sweated. His back was soaked and his limbs were cold. He had to take a hot bath to relax.
Chu Xiangtian went out to find Wei Yang.
Wei Yang had already brought his men back to the county government office in Sifang Town. After the county magistrate was arrested, he directly occupied the county government office. Now more than 20 officers and soldiers and Wen Boli were escorted to kneel in the court.
The elite soldiers brought were divided into two rows and stood on the edge, with sharp eyes scanning them.
Chu Xiangtian strode in. When the officers and soldiers on the edge saw him, they immediately called "General".
Chu Xiangtian glanced at him, punched his shoulder, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you here to join in the fun?" He almost ruined his good things.
The silly and powerful man with a smile was Yang Dashi. He said in a rough voice: "The imperial city is very boring. When will we go back to the border?"
"You want to go back yourself."
There was no war in the border for nearly a year, otherwise Chu Xiangtian would not have been secretly transferred back. If it were the case, he would have returned to the border immediately after handling the case and went back to the border to have a happy life. He had to abide by the rules everywhere in the imperial city. If something was wrong, he would be impeached by the old censors. He was so suffocating.
But now is different from the past. He thinks that the young master is more fun than fighting, and he wishes he could keep people under his nose all the time.
When he thought of Wen Tian, Chu Xiangtian remembered that he had something to do.
He moved his wrists and walked to Wen Boli. Wen Boli knelt down like a dead face. Bai Ruihe leaned against Wen Zeming, his eyes were red and he seemed to have cried.
"Wen Boli?" Chu Xiangtian lowered his head slightly and called him with his eyes down.
Wen Boli could not see his expression clearly when he turned against the light, but he heard the conversation just now. The soldier next to him called him "General". His eyes lit up and he straightened his body to plead for himself, "Mr. Chu, I am Youling's father, and I am an ordinary businessman. Look, did Lord Wei misunderstand?"
Chu Xiangtian took a step back and looked at him with disgust. At this time, the man was still using Wen Tian as a shield.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wen Boli continued with a smirk: "If you don't believe it, you can call Youling. It was a misunderstanding before. I was fascinated by the women outside, so I would treat them and their son like that."
"Brother Wen?"
"father?"
Bai Ruihe and Wen Zeming looked at him in disbelief.
Wen Boli didn't even look back and continued, "I don't know each other with the county magistrate. The reason why there was a letter recommended by the county magistrate was because Bai Ruihe had a good relationship with the county magistrate's wife and had nothing to do with me."
He said it really well, took himself out of his words and pushed the charges on Bai Ruihe.
"Do you know what I hate the most in my life?"
Chu Xiangtian leaned down and looked at him coldly.
Wen Boli shook his head blankly.
"What I hate the most is a soft guy like you." Chu Xiangtian kicked him in the chest and narrowed his eyes and said, "For the sake of money and career, even his wife and children can betray him. You are not worthy of being a man at all."
He kicked him very hard, and Wen Boli covered his chest and fell to the ground and moaned.
He went up and kicked him again in disrespect. Chu Xiangtiancai said coldly: "If you see you go to the Fu family to get entangled, be careful of your head on your neck."
Wen Boli's mouth was full of blood, and he couldn't even sit up because of pain. He could only curl up and moan.
Bai Ruihe and Wen Zeming looked at him, and the mother and son turned their eyes away.
With a sneer, Chu Xiangtian pulled Wen Zeming out, held his collar with one hand, squinted his eyes and warned: "You'd better collect all your little thoughts, otherwise Wen Boli's fate will be your future."
He was much taller than Wen Zeming. Wen Zeming was grabbed by his collar and could only touch the toes on the ground, and his collar was so slim that he couldn't breathe.
"We know we are wrong, we know we are wrong." Bai Ruihe crawled over with tears on her face, her face full of tears. Chu Xiangtian threw Wen Zeming to the ground in disgust and avoided her touch.
Without caring about the three people lying on the ground, Chu Xiangtian looked a little more happy and said to Wei Yang who was watching the show: "These three people will be left to you to deal with."
Wei Yang naturally understood what he meant. People from the Ministry of Justice always obeyed the law when doing things. The letters of recommendation found at most prove that Wen Boli had a friendship with the Nanming County Magistrate, but he did not participate in the case of greed, so it was far from enough to convict.
However, Wei Yang was immersed in the Ministry of Justice for many years, and Chu Xiangtian personally explained that he naturally had a way to give them a long memory in a limited time.
After talking about the main business, Chu Xiangtian was about to go back and guard his big treasure.
Wei Yang behind him suddenly called him and slowly took out an account book from his sleeve, "This was found in a hometown mansion."
Turning the account book, Wei Yang smiled and pointed at a line on one of the pages. The words on it were recorded: February 15, 2016, Pingchu, I received the gift of Wen Tian, five taels of gold.
Chu Xiangtian's eyelids twitched. This should be the time he ran into it. Wen Tian gave a box of silver to each of the three villagers.
