Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1525: The arrival of Mr. Mei Du from Seoul

Chu Chen ignored him and left after finishing his sentence.

Meanwhile, Gou Shengzi and the other guards also acted as officials, escorting the wailing Mei Kaifeng out of the mansion.

We arrived on the main street.

The streets were already packed with people watching the spectacle outside the mansion.

They first saw the young man being taken inside, and then he never came out again. Everyone was lamenting that yet another foolish boy had been persecuted by the county magistrate.

Unexpectedly, when the gate opened, they saw the young master leading his men, holding the county magistrate by the sword.

This plot twist left the onlookers puzzled.

Seeing the crowd gathering around, Chu Chen immediately stepped forward and took out his waist token.

"Fellow countrymen, I am Chu Chen, the Imperial Preceptor of the current dynasty."

"This man is Mei Kaifeng, the magistrate of this county. Today, Mei Kaifeng instructed his subordinates to rob passing merchants and oppress the people with all sorts of evil deeds. I will behead him in front of you all."

"The reason I bring this up is to ask if any of you have anyone who would plead for him?"

“If he is a good official, I will spare his life; if he is a corrupt official who oppresses the people, then I will not spare him.”

Chu Chen did this because he wanted to give Mei Kaifeng another chance. If he was a good official whom everyone loved, he would spare his life today.

But at first, the old man's words made him feel that there was little hope.

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, everyone in front of him knelt down.

"Your Excellency, we beg you to do us justice! During Mei Kaifeng's tenure..."

For a time, opinions were divided, but they were all people who claimed to have been wronged and who all requested that Chu Chen execute them on the spot.

After listening to this, Chu Chen also felt deeply that this guy had committed many evil deeds.

From stealing someone's young wife to murder and arson, this guy is utterly wicked.

Looking at the people below who were all begging to kill him, Mei Kaifeng felt utterly hopeless. Perhaps this was retribution.

At this moment, he longed to return to the capital, to the embrace of the Mei family. As long as the Mei family was there, who would dare to kill him except His Majesty?

By the way, the Mei family.

Mei Kaifeng's eyes gradually sharpened: "Chu Chen, do you really want to kill me?"

"Heh, do you intend to put up a fight?"

"Haha, you know that I have the Mei family behind me. You are the Imperial Advisor. To put it nicely, you are an official. To put it bluntly, you are just a dog by His Majesty's side. Can you withstand the wrath of the Mei family?"

Anger? We'll see if your Mei family can withstand my anger.

Chu Chen didn't want to waste any more words with him. Since the people wanted to kill, he would kill them with a clear conscience.

Moreover, let this ancient person experience how to die in modern society.

He reached behind his back, pulled out a pistol, and pressed it directly against the man's head.

The wide sleeves concealed the pistol, making it appear to the people below that Chu Chen simply placed his hand on Mei Kaifeng's head.

"Mei Kaifeng, today I will let you die knowing why. Your Mei family and I have a blood feud."

After saying that, Chu Chen pulled the trigger without waiting for Mei Kaifeng to speak.

With a loud bang, the kneeling people watched as Mei Kaifeng's head exploded like a watermelon.

But Lord Chu didn't even take a knife.

"Ah... this is lightning magic? My lord is mighty! My lord is a reincarnation of a god..."

"Lord Chu, you must be a deity sent by heaven to save us!"

"Yes, with such formidable methods, the rise of my Great Song Dynasty..."

Chu Chen didn't get entangled with these people for long, but instead turned around and went back into the house.

Then, turning to an official who was already terrified, he said, "Mei Kaifeng is dead, and you must have a successor."

“I will come to Liuyun Town from time to time. I don’t want another Mei Kaifeng to appear.”

After saying that, Chu Chen ignored the officials and instead instructed Gou Shengzi to sell the tiger on the street and continue on his way.

Without Mei Kaifeng's obstruction, Gou Shengzi and his men quickly sold the tiger, earning a total of over nine hundred taels of silver.

Each of the eight guards and Gou Shengzi received a little over a hundred taels of silver.

This made them thank Chu Chen profusely once again.

Afterwards, Chu Chen's team left Liuyun Town and headed towards Hancheng.

At this moment, Chu Chen felt a little anxious. He thought of someone: Mei Du from the Mei family.

If this person was able to arrange for bandits to rob him in Shacheng, then he has most likely already arrived in Hancheng.

Therefore, for the safety of the distillery and his people, Chu Chen changed his previous idea of ​​going straight to the capital. Instead, he went back to Hancheng first to have them investigate Mei Du before heading to the capital.

Once all external issues are resolved, that will be the time for me to officially launch an attack on the Mei family.

Little did Chu Chen know that just as he was having this thought, in the city lord's mansion far away in Hancheng...

City Lord Lu Jixing was currently in the study facing Mei Du, the eldest son of the Mei family.

“Uncle Lu, my father sent me to Seoul to visit you and also to see Miss Yiping.”

“Nephew Mei, the marriage agreement between our two families was made twenty years ago.”

“Ping’er has grown up now, it’s time for you to set a date and finalize your marriage.”

Mei Du looked at Lu Jixing's somewhat impatient attitude and couldn't help but feel disdain in her heart.

Ever since their father was promoted to Minister of Revenue, the entire Mei family has looked down on Lu Jixing, who is just a minor city lord.

However, in this era, marriage contracts couldn't be canceled so easily.

So this time, the first plan was to get rid of Chu Chen, and the second was to see what Lu Jixing's daughter looked like.

If she's good-looking, she can be taken into the household as a concubine.

If he's burly and strong, then he can only unilaterally break the contract. Given the Mei family's current status, Lu Jixing probably wouldn't dare say anything.

"Uncle, how about we invite Sister Yiping to come out and meet you?"

Lu Jixing was somewhat displeased that Mei Du wasn't as enthusiastic as he had imagined, but he didn't say it out loud.

After all, he's a young master from the capital, so it's normal for him to look down on local places.

He then turned to the butler and said, "Go and call Miss out."

A short while later, Lu Yiping was brought out by the housekeeper. As soon as she entered the study, Mei Du was completely stunned. There was such a beautiful woman in the world.

Moreover, she was his fiancée, with whom he was engaged.

"Mei Du of the Mei family, I've seen Sister Yiping before. It's been more than ten years since we last met. Sister Yiping has grown into a graceful and beautiful young woman!"

Mei Du's eyes gleamed with an uncontrollable greed, as if he wanted to see right through Lu Yiping's clothes.

"Father, who is this person? He has no manners at all, and looks like a lecher."

Lu Yiping, being straightforward, immediately asked the question.
