Chapter 238 Extraordinary Means
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion. The expressions on their faces seemed frozen, as if they were watching a ridiculous farce.
Some people knew the nature of the Zhang family father and son. They frowned and looked disgusted. They pulled the person next to them and said, "Zhang Jiang is not thinking of framing others in public, right?"
As soon as these words came out, some people who had always disliked Zhang Jiang's behavior said, "Humph, do you really think that we are dead? Are you blind?"
But as soon as he said this, he was mercilessly slapped in the face: "But the Zhang family is rich. If the Zhang family uses money to buy a few words from you, can you still maintain this integrity in the face of the white silver?"
"I won't sell my personality for a few pieces of silver, and I believe you all will too." After hearing this, the man was obviously guilty, his eyes flickered, but he still insisted, and even pulled everyone present together, "Everyone agrees, right? We can't be bought by the Zhang family's money!"
Even though Chu Ci did not expect things to develop to this point, she understood that they could not continue to be in a stalemate like this.
She just grabbed Zhang Jiang tightly, and then shouted loudly: "Master Zhang, Master Zhang doesn't seem to be in good health. Are you sure you want to keep going?"
After Chu Ci said this, everyone finally realized that there was a pool of brightly colored blood next to Zhang Jiang. Under the reflection of the bright sunlight, the pool of blood was particularly dazzling and could not be ignored.
The people present couldn't help but suddenly realize that the victim Chu Ci, whom they originally sympathized with, was also a tough guy who was not easy to mess with!
Thinking of this, many people could not help but back out, thinking to themselves that it was not a good place to stay for long, so they quietly prepared to leave this troublesome place.
On the other hand, Patriarch Zhang did not expect Chu Ci to be so ruthless. He was concerned about his son's safety and did not care about suppressing Chu Ci. He immediately responded loudly: "I misunderstood you two before. It is my fault. As long as you release my son, you can ask for anything and I will discuss it."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci looked around calmly. His gaze seemed casual, but he was actually communicating with the purple-robed envoy hiding in the crowd.
After receiving a nod from the purple-robed envoy, she said, "This place is not far from Xinglin Hall. As long as Master Zhang is sincere in discussing the matter, my husband and I will not embarrass your young master."
"Mrs. Fan is very thoughtful." Patriarch Zhang saw his son's blood flowing more and more. The glaring red color frightened him, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped.
At this moment, he didn't care that his daughter had not returned after the agreed time. He was so anxious that he could only swallow his anger and agree.
"Mr. Fan, Mrs. Fan, please come in." The head of the Zhang family suppressed the anger in his heart, his face turned ashen, veins bulged on his forehead, but he still tried to make a gesture of invitation.
"Please!" Fan Jingrui and Chu Ci looked at each other, then slowly loosened their hands that were tightly holding Zhang Jiang.
Zhang Jiang's body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground. The head of the Zhang family hurried forward to support his son, his eyes full of heartache and concern.
"Why, why are they both sons, but the elder brother has accomplished nothing, yet his father loves him so much. And he..." Zhang Tao in the crowd saw this and could no longer suppress his resentment. His eyes turned red, his fists were clenched, and his teeth were chattering.
Unfortunately, Zhang Tao's strangeness did not affect anyone at all.
At this time, Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui had already moved to Xinglin Hall with Zhang's father and son.
Xinglin Hall is the Lin family's property. They have always focused on providing private space for special guests, so they specially reserved several single rooms in the backyard.
After everyone entered the single room, the noise from the outside world was isolated.
After the incident was over and everyone had dispersed, the bailiffs with knives came slowly and leisurely.
However, they just went through the motions, pretended to check it out, and then turned around and left.
At the same time, the doctor carefully removed Zhang Jiang's cloak and discovered the shocking wounds on Zhang Jiang's body.
When the head of the Zhang family saw his son's injuries, his eyes widened and his anger rose. He shouted angrily: "Aren't you afraid of retribution? You are so cruel!"
Unfortunately, Chu Ci and the other two did not show any emotion. They just asked calmly, "Is this the attitude of Patriarch Zhang?"
"You...you guys..." Patriarch Zhang was so angry that he was shaking all over, his face flushed, and he pointed at Chu Ci and the other two. He finally felt the discomfort of talking to unreasonable people, and the frustration of not being able to explain himself made him almost crazy.
Seeing that the head of the Zhang family finally understood how he had felt these days, Chu Ci felt instantly relieved, and even felt the pleasure of being a villain.
So, Chu Ci raised the corners of his mouth, and slowly took out a "pill" that he had made according to the spatial prescription but failed, which could turn a tonic into a poison, and said: "As long as you take this poison, I will let your children live."
"Children?" Upon hearing this, the Zhang family head's eyes widened in disbelief, and he shouted loudly: "Are you crazy? You know that my daughter..."
"I know, the concubine of the Governor of Guiyang." At this point, Chu Ci paused slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his tone instantly became as cold as frost. "Even if the Governor of Guiyang comes, so what? Why would I be afraid of him!"
He was not even afraid of the governor, and there was even undisguised contempt in his words. The sense of superiority that the head of the Zhang family had because of his daughter finally disappeared without a trace.
But he still had hope, betting that Chu Ci would not dare to deal with him casually. After all, he was a well-known figure in the local area. "What kind of medicine is this? What effect can it have? Can you change the conditions?"
Patriarch Zhang tried to remain calm, but his voice was trembling.
Chu Ci thought to himself: This head of the Zhang family really doesn’t deserve any good regard from anyone.
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, and acted as fast as lightning, instantly pressing the acupoints of the head of the Zhang family.
Just when Chu Ci was about to pry open the mouth of the head of the Zhang family and feed the pill.
Fan Jingrui quickly spoke out to stop her: "My wife, for matters like this, I will do it for you."
Patriarch Zhang never expected that the Chuci couple would be so cruel and unscrupulous.
However, at this moment, it is too late to regret.
He struggled desperately but could not move. He could only watch as Fan Jingrui threw a pill of unknown efficacy into his mouth, covered his mouth and forced him to swallow it, only then did he untie his acupoints.
"Ugh, ugh—" The head of the Zhang family immediately used his fingers to dig into his throat, trying to spit out the pill he had just swallowed.
Unfortunately, the pill melted in his mouth, and the medicinal effect spread instantly. Even though Patriarch Zhang almost tore his throat, it didn't work at all, and instead made himself look miserable.
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui just sat there leisurely, drinking tea leisurely, watching all this quietly, without any expression on their faces.
