Chapter 119 Being scammed
"Ouch, ouch, the old man's leg is broken—"
At the beginning, Chu Ci and the others didn't realize that it was related to them.
Until he heard Mo Yan's rebuttal: "You are blackmailing me, our carriage is still several feet away from you!"
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui looked at each other and opened the curtains on the left and right at the same time.
I saw a skinny old man sitting in the middle of the road, hugging one leg.
The two words "碰-瓷-" instantly appeared in Chu Ci's mind.
Chu Ci made a prompt decision and told Mo Yan, the driver, "Hit him. Since he said his leg is broken, then let him do it."
As soon as Chu Ci said this, Fan Jingrui, Fan Qianyan, and Mo Yan, who was driving the carriage, all looked at Chu Ci in surprise: "Young Madam..."
However, Chu Ci did not compromise, but instead ordered again firmly: "Bump into it——"
Mo Yan was still unwilling and was about to ask Fan Jingrui for his opinion. Chu Ci's voice was much colder, "My order is, bump into it-"
Mo Yan finally got scared. He closed his eyes and whipped the horse.
The old man who was trying to scam people thought he had met an easy target when he saw that there was no movement in the carriage and Mo Yan kept turning his head.
He was thinking about how to make a fortune when he saw a carriage rushing towards him at a very fast speed.
"Ah——" The old man wanted to stand up, but it was too late.
He could only roll and crawl to narrowly avoid the collision with the carriage.
Some people who were watching all this not far away said that the old man deserved it as he finally met a tough guy.
But more people accused Mo Yan of being inhumane.
And when they saw Mo Yan controlling the carriage to slowly stop, the noise became louder and louder, and some brave people even surrounded Chu Ci's carriage.
No matter how conceited Mo Yan was, he knew that he was not capable of protecting his three masters from being surrounded by so many people. "Master, what should we do now?"
"Bring the old man who's trying to scam people and..." Before Chu Ci could finish his words, he heard a scolding voice coming from outside the circle: "What are you doing? What are you guys doing? Do you know that if you gather together to cause trouble, I can arrest you all."
Then the crowd parted, and three men in yamen uniforms came to the carriage. "Can you tell me what happened?"
"That old man wanted to scam people--" As soon as Mo Yan opened his mouth, he pulled the scammer who had successfully become invisible back in front of everyone.
This also made the people around excited again.
"No, Old Man Chen was just selling something. It would have been fine if the people driving the carriage didn't buy anything, but they actually let their horses trample people. They simply disregard the law."
The old man who was scamming people also started to shout: "I am an old man with a miserable life. I just wanted to sell some local specialties to supplement my family income. I didn't expect that I almost lost my leg!"
Upon seeing this, the yamen runner immediately stared at Mo Yan, "Is that so?"
Just as Mo Yan was about to speak, Chu Ci lifted the car curtain and asked, "What is this specialty? Can you show it to us?"
As Chu Ci spoke, he deliberately revealed the long sword he was carrying, and the yamen runner's eyes narrowed slightly.
He immediately winked at Old Man Chen who was crying and said, "Old Man Chen, a deal must be made between our two sides. Since you really want to sell it, why don't you bring your stuff over here."
Perhaps because he cooperated so much, Old Man Chen immediately understood the yamen runner's hint and happily carried over something that looked like a melon but wasn't a melon and was particularly ugly. He even said shamelessly, "This is it. Are you interested?"
Others may not recognize it, but Chu Ci, who has the name "Xing'er", immediately knew through scanning that this ugly thing was none other than the famous konjac.
Even so, konjac is poisonous.
Chu Ci's eyes shone as he stared at Old Man Chen. "Have you ever let anyone eat this? Tell me the truth."
Old Man Chen had originally planned to force Chu Ci to sell the konjac, relying on the support of the yamen runners. But when he saw Chu Ci's murderous eyes and thought of the konjac he had forced to sell, he finally got scared.
"No, no. I only feed it to the chickens at home."
"So, you knew konjac was poisonous, but you still sold it?" Chu Ci really wanted to open the old man's head to see if it was filled with paste.
And these accomplices in front of us, do they help people only based on their relationship with the person, without caring about morality and law at all?
Even the yamen runner at the front realized belatedly that he had run into a tough guy.
But Old Man Chen and the others couldn't just ignore it, so they had to bite the bullet and say, "Look, you didn't lose anything. How about both sides take a step back and pretend that nothing happened?"
"What do you mean it didn't happen? Did my carriage get stopped by someone for nothing?" Chu Ci didn't know what the relationship was between the old man who was trying to scam people and the yamen runners, but that didn't stop her from scaring people.
Sure enough, Chu Ci was so tough.
The yamen runners immediately raised Chu Ci's status, and raised it again and again, especially when they saw Xiao Wu riding a horse over with a long sword on his waist that was obviously worth a lot of money.
The yamen runner's attitude immediately softened: "So what do you mean?"
"I want a finger of this old man." The bailiff was about to refuse, but Xiao Wu unsheathed the long sword in his hand slightly, and the bailiff shut his mouth obediently.
Chu Ci seemed not to notice the two's little tricks, and continued to speak of his own request: "And make him swear that he will never touch porcelain or force a sale. And whatever konjac you have, bring it all to me."
“I can give you konjac, and I can also make you a fortune, but your fingers…” Old Man Chen finally stopped playing dumb, dusted himself off, and stood up.
Moreover, someone in the crowd quietly trotted away, probably to inform the old man.
Unfortunately, Chu Ci didn't buy his trick. "You have no choice. You have to chop off your finger today, whether you want to or not."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, Xiao Wu drew the long sword from his waist and walked towards the old man who was trying to scam people.
Old Man Chen finally became afraid: "My son is the county magistrate. If you dare to touch a hair of me, my son will not let you go."
[County magistrate, no wonder you are so arrogant.] Chu Ci snorted coldly upon hearing this, turned around and took out the imperial sword he used when he was assassinated: "Xiao Wu, hold him down, I will chop off his fingers myself."
Xiao Wu didn't hesitate at all. He put away his sword and took down Old Man Chen in a lightning speed.
Seeing that Chu Ci was serious, the yamen runners became really anxious. If Old Man Chen's fingers were chopped off today, he would lose both of his hands.
Regardless of the danger, she immediately stood in front of Old Man Chen and said, "Calm down, Madam, calm down. The old man just likes to joke around. He really never did anything to hurt people—"
At this time, the crowd of onlookers also reacted: "Yes, yes, yes, Old Man Chen doesn't bully the people?"
