Chapter 424 The bandits were no match for the county magistrate
"Get lost! Is your young master so indiscriminate in his tastes, regardless of whether he's fat or thin?"
“Young master, I know I was wrong. Such a wicked woman is bad luck, not to mention you, even I find her unlucky.”
Seeing that Chu Chen was angry, Lao Qin immediately chimed in.
At that moment, Fang Yun took a step and stood in front of Chu Chen.
"Who dares to offend a high-ranking official? Are they courting death?"
As he spoke, he drew the sword from his waist, looking righteous and indignant.
Chu Chen looked at Fang Yun in front of him and nodded. Although he had the idea of currying favor with him, he was not in a good position when faced with the dozen or so bandits on the other side.
If someone can stand up and shield you, then perhaps this person is worth training!
Then he said sternly, "Fang Yun, kill this person who dared to speak so disrespectfully and offend me."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yun rushed forward without hesitation, brandishing his knife and slashing at the unsuspecting man before him.
The man didn't expect Fang Yun to make a sudden move. Unable to dodge in time, one of his arms was dislocated.
Just then, Old Qin, who was beside him, also drew his long sword and tightly protected Chu Chen behind him.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps approached. Chu Chen turned around and saw that many people holding weapons had rushed in from behind and to the sides.
They surrounded the three of them in one go.
Seeing this, Fang Yun dared not go any further. He and Lao Qin immediately stepped aside and protected Chu Chen.
Then he said softly, "My lord, there are too many of them. I will clear a path for you in a moment."
"If you are fortunate enough to escape, do not go to the county government office, but go directly to Mingzhu City and find the city lord."
"Also, I'd like to entrust Fang Yun's family in Mingzhu City to you, sir."
After saying that, Fang Yun grabbed Chu Chen's arm and charged towards the people in front of them.
Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but admire Fang Yun even more.
Keep in mind that there were more than ten people on the other side. No matter how powerful Fang Yun was, he was just an ordinary soldier.
Even if he manages to carve out a path for himself, he'll probably still die here.
Although there was a moral obligation to take care of his family and secure a good future for them.
But to have such courage in the face of death is a rare sight even in the military camps of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Old Qin saw Fang Yun heading forward with such a fearless attitude.
So he shouted, "Young master, I, Qin, will serve you again in my next life!"
Seeing this, Chu Chen reached out and pulled the two of them back to their original positions with lightning speed.
"Ahem, you two are commendable for your courage, I, Chu Chen, acknowledge that. But in your hearts, am I really that weak?"
After saying that, he reached behind him and dragged a chair over, then plopped down in the middle.
Then he addressed the leader, saying, "Are you bandits?"
Seeing the young master's composure, the leading man whispered to his subordinate, "Aren't there any soldiers outside?"
"Second Master, no, I checked carefully."
"That's strange. Look at that kid, he doesn't seem flustered at all, but you're like this..."
After whispering some instructions in his subordinate's ear, the subordinate nodded, turned around, and disappeared into the night.
Then, staring intently at Chu Chen, he said, "Hmph, I am the second-in-command of Feng'an Mountain. May I ask who you are, young master?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If I told you who I am, you'd be scared to death. Name your terms!"
"Good, young master is straightforward. Judging from your appearance, you must be a very wealthy and noble person, otherwise you wouldn't have soldiers from Mingzhu guarding you."
“I, Feng’an Mountain, only seek wealth and do not kill, but you have insulted my sisters and cut off my brother’s arm, so you must show some basic sincerity.”
Just then, the plump woman whispered in his ear what she had seen and heard about Chu Chen and the other two eating earlier.
Upon hearing this, the leading man's eyes lit up instantly.
"Hahaha, glass bottle and glass cup, young master, if you want to leave here today, you'd better hand over the backpack behind you and the gold and silver on the three of you."
Chu Chen glanced around, then stood up and stretched.
"What a big dog! Now that you know I'm an important person, aren't you afraid that the Feng'an County government will come after you later?"
Upon hearing Chu Chen mention the Feng'an County government office, the man burst into laughter.
"Are all the rich young masters these days not thinking straight? Kid, since I just robbed you in Feng'an County, don't you think the magistrate of Feng'an County will get a glass cup as a reward?"
Chu Chen immediately understood; it really was a den of snakes and rats.
It seems I'll have to kill a few people tonight to lure the magistrate of Feng'an County over.
So he reached for his waist and pulled out a Glock.
Then he raised his hand and shot the second-in-command in the head.
The group of subordinates watched as their second-in-command, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, now collapsed straight down, with a stream of red and white fluid flowing from his brain.
They immediately panicked.
"Alright, your whiny second-in-command is dead. I'll give you two choices: first, leave immediately; second, find someone who can speak for you."
Seeing Chu Chen's swift and decisive actions, the bandits dared not utter a word.
They all instantly took a step back.
Old Qin and Fang Yun looked at Chu Chen with horror, thinking to themselves that after all this fuss, this guy wasn't afraid at all.
Just as the group was about to back down, the plump woman stood at the back of the crowd and shouted.
“Brothers, don’t be afraid. He’s just using a hidden weapon. And anyone who uses a hidden weapon has a weakness: they can’t use them in quick succession.”
"With so many brothers like us, why should we be afraid of just three people? If anyone kills them for our sister, she will surely treat us all well."
Chu Chen almost vomited when he heard that.
I thought to myself, "Damn it, there must be at least a hundred people here. Can you handle this?!"
But the next moment, he was somewhat impressed by these bandits, who actually surrounded him like fools.
So Chu Chen gave them no more chances and said to Lao Qin and Fang Yun, "Squat down."
Then the Glock in my hand started making a popping sound.
In an instant, the dozen or so people at the front all collapsed to the ground.
Upon seeing this scene, the bandits dared not linger any longer. Shouting and yelling, they instantly retreated outside the house.
The plump woman was forced to stand in front of Chu Chen.
Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun in Chu Chen's hand, the woman felt her legs go weak, unable to support her voluptuous body.
With a thud, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, unable to move.
Chu Chen smiled leisurely: "Sigh, ugly people always cause trouble."
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a loud shout came from outside: "Who is committing violence here? In Feng'an, is there anyone causing trouble right under the nose of this county magistrate? Are they tired of living?"
Immediately afterwards, a large number of yamen runners, armed with weapons and dressed in official robes, filed in and surrounded Chu Chen and his two companions.
