Chapter Ninety-Eight: Deterrence
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the thin man, raised her hand and touched her chin, "I just don't know, did the person who taught you to do things behind your back teach you to spare your life." ”
Hearing this, the thin man's face turned pale almost instantly.
"You...... What do you want to do?!"
This thin man thought that in front of everyone, Chu Xiaoxiao would never dare to do anything to him, but he didn't expect that just a moment ago, Chu Xiaoxiao would kill the middle-aged man on the stage with a knife.
At this moment, the blood on the ground has not dried up, the body of the middle-aged man has not yet cooled, and the head is still thrown on the ground at will, how can he not be afraid?
Looking at Chu Xiaoxiao's cool eyes, the thin man began to regret the actions of the other parties.
But anyone who has seen Chu Xiaoxiao kill people, few people have the courage to confront Chu Xiaoxiao, not to mention that the thin man in front of him is not a bold person.
"Don't you know what I want to do?" Chu Xiaoxiao hooked her lips and smiled slightly, and then said, "Why didn't you think about the consequences of angering me before you came?"
As she spoke, Chu Xiaoxiao took a step forward slightly.
The thin man was so frightened that he regretted that he had come here to make trouble after receiving some benefits.
After a while, the thin man looked at Chu Xiaoxiao, who was gradually approaching him, and after shaking his skin, he suddenly turned over and knelt in front of Chu Xiaoxiao.
"The county lord spares his life, the county lord spares his life!"
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile, her fingers gently rubbed the white jade bracelet, and said in a casual voice: "Tell me, why did I spare you?" after all...... You've caused me such a big trouble today, if I don't send you to see your accomplices, wouldn't it be in vain to bear the name of my careless life. ”
After hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, the thin man's face immediately changed, the corners of his pale lips kept shaking, and it took a long time before he spoke: "I said...... Say anything!"
"What are you talking about? Chu Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes in surprise, and said casually, "Do you have anything to say?"
Seeing his indifferent appearance, the thin man's face became even more anxious, and he hurriedly said: "The county lord spared his life, it was the villain who accepted the money from others to deliberately slander the county lord, and ...... And ......"
As he spoke, the little man pointed to the body of the person who had just been cut off by Chu Xiaoxiao with trembling fingers, and his voice trembled.
"This man...... This person is also bought, as long as today's incident is over, Grandpa Li will give us five hundred taels of silver for each person, and send us out of Yongzhou City......"
"I see. Although Chu Xiaoxiao knew it in her heart, there was a look of sudden realization on her face, she touched her chin, looked at the thin man teasingly, and said, "Then you just said that I careless ...... of human life."
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!" the thin man said very quickly, as if he was going to die a second late, "He deserves it! It is also his blessing that the county lord killed him, otherwise it would be a big crime to slander the county lord!"
Chu Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile and said, "I remember that you seem to have slandered me just now, this blessing is given to you, do you want it?"
At this time, the blood stains on the Shura knife did not dry up, and the Shura knife was made of meteoric iron, and the material was special, Chu Xiaoxiao just shook it gently, don't throw out a string of blood beads, and the blade of the Shura knife did not drop blood.
When the thin man saw this scene, he was so frightened that he almost turned his back on it.
Fortunately, Chu Xiaoxiao would not care about such a person, so after playing enough, she withdrew the Shura knife in her sleeve, waved her hand casually, and said to Wei Rin behind her: "Take it down, take today's matter well." ”
"Yes, Lord Shire. Wei Rin hurriedly replied.
After cleaning up the scene, Chu Xiaoxiao also turned her head to look at the ordinary people who had been standing there in a daze.
These people all followed the middle-aged man to coax him, and when he saw that Chu Xiaoxiao's methods were so tough, he was also frightened for a while, and he didn't dare to say a word.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at these people, and then sneered softly.
She didn't have any feelings for these people themselves, and their actions were naturally not sad for Chu Xiaoxiao, but they were just a little uncomfortable.
Although she did all this before, although it was for Chu Ci not to be found an excuse by His Majesty the Emperor, in the final analysis, it was these people in Yongzhou City who benefited in the end.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't ask these people to be grateful to her, she just wanted not to be an enemy, and she didn't want to be incited to make trouble for her like today.
It's just that these people can't do this!
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes were even more angry.
"Now you're satisfied?!"
After a long silence, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly said in a loud voice: "Let me tell you, I, Chu Xiaoxiao, am the county lord of Huaiyang who is the imperial seal of His Majesty, my father is Chu Ci, and my mother is the feudal lord!
Halfway through speaking, Chu Xiaoxiao's cold gaze swept towards the people who began to whisper.
"Those rich businessmen, don't you know why I want to treat them?!" Chu Xiaoxiao said sharply: "Or are you willing to wait for death without medicine and food?" I think I am wrong to let you live for too long, and come to me to find trouble when you are sick and full!"
Chu Xiaoxiao's words were extremely harsh, but none of the people present showed dissatisfaction.
Because they all know very well in their hearts that they can survive because of the sharp-eyed girl in front of them.
Many of them, who had been counting the days until they had died, had survived now, only to be fanned to trouble their life-savers.
All of a sudden, everyone present fell into guilt.
Of course, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't say this to make them feel guilty, and seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Chu Xiaoxiao spoke again.
"All the money obtained from the rich merchants in the city this time will be used for the people of Yongzhou City, and I Chu Xiaoxiao is already extremely prosperous, and I am not short of that bit of silver. And...... If anyone dares to reach out, I'll just chop off his paws. I've made this clear enough today, and everyone here is not a child, so I'm sure you can understand it, so be it. ”
After speaking, Chu Xiaoxiao turned around and left directly, without even looking at these people.
At this moment, I don't know who among the people suddenly shouted.
"Lord Huaiyang!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao's footsteps paused slightly, but she didn't look back, but strode away at a faster speed, and her red back gradually disappeared in front of people's eyes.
On this day, all the people of Yongzhou City present will never forget this bright and beautiful girl in red. Because this girl, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, saved Yongzhou City, which has almost become a dead city.
Many years later, when everything was settled, Chu Xiaoxiao's words and deeds at this time were still being praised by the people of Yongzhou City.
