Chapter 454: Blackmailed? One copper coin is not enough
The man wanted to catch them, but Shan Wei kicked the person in front of her away and then started fighting with them. The man didn't expect that they knew kung fu, and angrily shouted for more people to join in. For a while, the street was in chaos.
Zi Yexiu happened to be passing by the street, but his way was blocked by a fight ahead, so he asked his men to find out what was happening ahead.
"Master, Miss Shen and her maid are fighting with others. Do you want to help? The group of people fighting with them are the local bullies in Jiading." Zi Ye Xiu's people quickly came back to report.
Zi Yexiu's eyes turned cold: "No need, you guys go back first!" Then he got off the carriage and walked towards Yao Qingnian.
The other side had many people and was on the street, so Yao Qingnian could only fight with them as she walked. She had just kicked the man in front of her down when she didn't expect a hand to reach out to her from behind. She subconsciously turned around to fight back, but when she saw it was Zi Yexiu, she quickly retracted her hand: "Hey, why are you here?!"
"Just passing by, what are you doing?"
"What can you do? I can't tell. Just fight. Are you alone? Do you bring anyone with you?" There were too many people on the other side, so she and Shan Wei were separated. At this time, someone attacked Yao Qingnian. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, then dodged sideways.
"No one."
"Why are you still standing there without anyone? Run!" After she said that, she pulled him to the other side without saying a word. Zi Ye Xiu stood there without moving, with a teasing look in his eyes.
Looking at Zi Yexiu who stood still, Yao Qingnian was stunned. That was not right. Why should she run? With this big devil around, how could she be afraid of them? So she didn't run away. She just stood there with her arms folded, looking at the people opposite her with an indifferent look on her face.
The group thought she was scared and stopped panting: "Run, why don't you run?!" After seeing Zi Ye Xiu at the side, they looked her up and down and laughed: "Oh, you even called for help. Wearing a mask in broad daylight, isn't it embarrassing, haha..."
When he opened his mouth, he felt something rolling down his throat, making it itchy, but he didn't take it seriously.
"I'm not her helper, you're wrong." Zi Ye Xiu said softly.
"Zi Yexiu you!" I thought he was here to help me, but he actually ran to the side to watch the show, huh!
"When did I run away? Is it worth it just for a broken glass?" Yao Qingnian looked at the man in front of her with disdain.
"Hmph! You bitch! If you know what's best for you, pay me back now!"
"How much compensation?!"
"Not much, just one hundred taels of silver." The man chuckled.
"One hundred taels? Do you think it's inlaid with gold? Besides, you dropped it on purpose, and you still want to ask me for silver. Bah! I can give you a copper coin at most, take it or not!" Yao Qingnian took out a copper coin and threw it on the ground.
"You!" The man was immediately furious. When he was about to move forward to attack Yao Qingnian, he suddenly felt as if something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak. He pinched his throat and soon fell to his knees on the ground in pain, and "puffed" a mouthful of blood.
"Boss, what happened to you?" The younger brother next to the man was shocked to see him suddenly like this. He didn't care about anything else and hurried forward to help him up. He only felt a sharp pain in his throat and couldn't make any sound: "What did you do to my boss!"
"He fell down by himself, don't blame me! You just wrongly accused me of breaking your things, and now you want to fake illness to blackmail me?" Yao Qingnian didn't touch him, could it be that he wanted to blackmail me again? He was pretending very well.
"Who dares to cause trouble in the street?"
At this moment, the prefect who received the report came with his officials. Seeing the man's painful expression, he immediately shouted angrily that the man was none other than the prefect's nephew.
"Sir, it's them. I don't know what they did to the boss!" Those people pointed at Yao Qingnian and said.
He wanted to scold him and arrest him, but when he saw Zi Ye Xiu, his angry expression froze on his face, and he shouted at the man's brothers: "What's going on? Why did it become like this? Go get a doctor."
"My lord, this bitch broke the boss's glass. We asked her to pay for it but she refused, so we started fighting. The boss suddenly fell down and couldn't speak. They must have done something!"
"You are the one who stinks. Your whole family stinks! It was you who tried to extort money from me in broad daylight. I didn't even touch the thing. I was just strolling down the street. Suddenly, a group of you rushed over and wouldn't let me leave. You forced me to buy something."
"Sir, look at this bitch. Not only does she deny it, but she also beat our people. You must stand up for the boss." Seeing that they couldn't convince Yao Qingnian, they had to glare at her fiercely, with swords in their hands, ready to go up and kill her.
"Shut up! I told you to do something properly. You have been thinking about taking shortcuts all day long. Now you are done! You deserve to learn a lesson." The governor scolded them all, then glanced at Zi Ye Xiu, and said to Yao Qingnian with an apologetic smile: "Miss, I am sorry to have frightened you. What they did today was wrong. It is my fault for not managing it properly. I apologize to you here. Don't worry, I will definitely deal with them when I go back. You, why don't you apologize to the girl quickly."
When the governor said this, everyone was stunned. What did the governor mean by this? He wanted them to apologize to this bitch? Was he sure?
"grown ups……"
"What? I can't order you around anymore!" the prefect said gritting his teeth.
"We dare not." Those people looked puzzled, but they did not dare to disobey the governor's order, so they had to apologize to Yao Qingnian: "I'm sorry!"
Yao Qingnian also thought that she had heard it wrong. She thought that the governor was a relative of theirs and would definitely stand on the side of that group. Unexpectedly, he spoke for her instead? She couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Then... can I leave?"
"Of course! Please do as you please, young lady." The prefect smiled awkwardly.
"Your Excellency the Governor is upright and incorruptible, and he protects the stability of the people. Under your governance, Jiading is in order and the people live and work in peace. We admire you deeply. In this case, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Yao Qingnian flattered him for a few words, then pulled Zi Yexiu and left.
Watching them leave, the governor heaved a sigh of relief: "Stay away from them next time you see them. They are not people we can afford to offend! Do you hear me?"
"Sir, she is just a girl from outside the city, what are you afraid of?" Those people all felt a little aggrieved.
