the first emperor

Chapter 211
After the dark turmoil ended, Chen Binran did not stay in Zhanspear Academy, but returned to Luxi County.

What he didn't expect was that not long after he came back, Xi Qianye also came back.

He might not have known Xi Qianye in the past, and he didn't take Xi Qianye seriously at all.But now, Xi Qianye is like his nightmare.

"Young Master Chen, what's wrong with you?"

A young man came behind Chen Binran and looked at him strangely. As a cultivator in the sect realm, it is impossible for him to hold his wine glass unsteadily, and he didn't even know it fell on the ground.

"Oh, nothing! I just saw an acquaintance."

Chen Binran came back to his senses, and found that the wine glass had been shattered all over the floor, only then did he realize that he lost his composure just now.

"who?"

Meng Yuxuan came over and asked curiously.

She was just entertaining some famous ladies in Luxi County, so she didn't see any figures on the street.

"It's just an old friend."

Chen Binran said calmly, for some reason, he did not tell Meng Yuxuan that Xi Qianye had returned to Luxi County.

……

On the street, Xi Qianye took Xi Xiaoxin's hand and walked on the familiar street with emotion.

After many years, he finally came back again.

Zhu Qingyan silently followed behind the two, separated by more than ten meters, not daring to disturb them.

"Young master, let's go to the restaurant, Madam must be in the restaurant." Xi Xiaoxin pulled Xi Qianye's skirt to prevent Xi Qianye from going any further, she lowered her head and whispered.

Xi Qianye nodded slightly when he heard the words, the family house should have been sold by his aunt, that's why Xi Xiaoxin prevented him from going home.

Although Xi Xiaoxin didn't tell him anything, but he already knew a lot of things in her sleep talk.

The restaurant of Xi Qianye's family is located in the most prosperous central area of ​​Luxi County City, and it is the property left to them by Xi Qianye's biological parents.

It is said that Xi Qianye's biological parents were once well-known figures in Lu Xi County, but for unknown reasons, both of them died, and no one knows the cause of death.

After Xi Qianye's parents died, many properties of the family were taken away by the Xi family, leaving only a mansion and a restaurant to them.

And that restaurant is currently Xi Qianye's only business.

Luxi County City is majestic and majestic, with layers of streets extending in all directions.

The two walked for a long time before they came to the central commercial street. A very simple and old ancient building appeared in front of them. It was incompatible with the magnificent and blossoming tall buildings around them.

At this time, in front of the dilapidated attic, there was a circle of people, three floors inside and three floors outside, everyone was pointing and discussing, as if something lively was happening.

I saw a plainly dressed woman lying at the gate of the attic, her body covered with mud and footprints, she was clinging tightly to the mahogany beams, her eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

Four or five big men surrounded her, tugging at her skirt, trying to pull her away.

Xi Qianye frowned slightly, with a slightly cold expression, and strode forward.

"It's simply too abominable to blatantly take away people's property! Is there any law of heaven, is there any law of the king?"

"Xiu Niang's restaurant occupies the most prosperous place in the county, so it's normal for those unscrupulous businessmen to covet this place, but it's too arrogant and domineering to take it by force and use despicable means.

"It's so pitiful. Xi Zhentian was once a well-known and peerless strong man in Lu Xi County. Unexpectedly, the first hero left orphans and widows after his death, but he was bullied like this."

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth. Don't you understand today's battle? Not only people from the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, but also people from the Xi's family and the county guard's mansion have already stepped in. Xiu Niang alone Women, you will never be able to guard this restaurant."

……

Everyone talked a lot, looking at the woman who was desperately struggling to hold the pillar, her eyes were full of sympathy and intolerance.

But no one drew their swords to help when they saw injustice, and everyone avoided it, fearing that they would get into trouble, because the forces involved in it were too complicated, and no one dared to provoke them.

"He Xiuniang, don't blame me for being rude, no matter how much you mess around."

A middle-aged man in brocade clothes and jade belt, with a big belly and a face full of flesh, said coldly, and stared fiercely at the helpless woman with a pair of eyes as small as mung beans.

"Why do you take away my restaurant? You are all a bunch of robbers, taking things from others."

He Xiuniang's eyes were full of tears, she was extremely sad and desperate.She is a woman, in front of a group of men like wolves and tigers; what else can she do but cry?
"Please be respectful in your words, or believe it or not, I will beat you to death with a stick."

"Your restaurant is a dilapidated and dangerous building, which affects the beauty and safety of the city. For the sake of the construction of Luxi County, the Ministry of Urban Construction has issued a demolition notice. We are only implementing the order of the Ministry of Urban Construction."

As he said that, the obese middle-aged man threw an official letter on He Xiuniang's face, with black and white letters on it, and the official seal was as bright red as blood, clearly written; it was just demolition, not robbery.

"I don't agree, the restaurant is my private property, why do you forcibly demolish my restaurant?" He Xiuniang cried.

The obese middle-aged man smiled coldly when he heard the words: "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, the people from the Xi family have already agreed for you."

"The land deed is mine, and the house deed is also mine. Why should the Xi family agree for me?"

"Hmph! The restaurant used to be the property of the Xi family, which belonged to Xi Zhentian. According to the law of succession, it was the people of the Xi family who inherited the restaurant. It's not your turn to inherit it. Now I seriously suspect that you were suspected of defrauding the property of the Xi family back then. Take care of Xi Zhentian. The orphan’s purpose is also impure, so you don’t need your consent for the demolition of the restaurant, as long as the Xi family members nod. And it’s okay to tell you, this is what the prefect said.”

The fat middle-aged man said coldly.

"He Xiuniang, just accept your fate. The restaurant doesn't belong to you in the first place. Besides, it's not like the government didn't compensate you. Didn't they also compensate you with an attic?"

A foreign affairs manager of the Xi family said indifferently.

People from the Xi family, the government, and the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce all came here, and all major forces joined forces, and He Xiuniang would never allow him to resist.

"I don't accept it, I want to sue you, I'm going to the imperial capital to sue the imperial court."

He Xiuniang burst into tears, crying bitterly.Losing the restaurant, how would she support Ye'er to continue studying at Zhanspear Academy?The so-called compensation from the government is nothing more than a dilapidated attic in the suburbs, not to mention doing business, even if it is sold, it is worthless.

"Sue the imperial court? First of all, you have to live to the imperial capital."

The obese middle-aged man laughed, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"Drag this woman out to me. If she dares to continue to resist, she will be beaten to death with a stick. If anything happens, I will bear it all."

The fat middle-aged man said coldly.

"You can't afford it."

A cold voice suddenly resounded in the crowd, like the cold wind under the Nine Netherworld, icy cold to the bone.
