Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 293 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (83)

As soon as she finished speaking, she was met with laughter from the crowd, as if they were mocking her for overestimating her own abilities.

"Miss, I don't know who you are, but aren't you a little too shameless?"

"My mother just passed away. We sons saw it clearly. Now you stand up and tell me that you can bring her back to life. Isn't this just a fantasy?"

"Do you think you are the King of Hell, in charge of the Book of Life and Death? This is really laughable!"

The burly man in the lead pointed at Jiang Qiuchen's nose and spoke loudly without any hesitation, spitting everywhere and making people step back repeatedly.

But he still refused to give in and took several steps forward, with the backs of his hands and palms pressed together, flapping them up and down as if helpless.

"We don't want to make a big deal out of this. The person is already dead, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's think carefully about compensation."

"No matter what, you should give us some money so that we can take care of my mother's body."

"The coffin, gold ingots, paper figurines... everything that is necessary must be arranged, and we brothers must also be given some compensation for the aftermath."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiuchen sneered a few times. Not only did these people come here to ruin Huichuntang's reputation, but now they are trying to blackmail them for an exorbitant amount of money.

It is obvious that today's incident was an organized and planned frame-up, and someone wanted to trip up Huichuntang.

But as long as Jiang Qiuchen is here, he will not let such a thing happen.

"Haha, that may disappoint you. We won't pay a penny for what you said."

After hearing Jiang Qiuchen's ruthless rejection, the sturdy men felt a little embarrassed, looked fierce, rolled up their sleeves, and looked like they wanted to hit someone.

They originally thought that the people in charge of Huichun Hall were just a few weak women, and that they would definitely agree to their requests with a little intimidation. However, they did not expect Jiang Qiuchen's attitude to be so firm, and she did not even show a trace of satisfaction.

Jiang Qiuchen naturally knew what these people were thinking. People like this who were professional at extorting money must be protected by someone above them.

The old woman lying on the wooden board in front of them might not be their biological mother. She was most likely a passerby who was innocently implicated and used for the show.

They have connections with the higher-ups, and so does she. When it comes to connections and power, who is as tough as her?

The entire Lingzhou is under the jurisdiction of Gu Shaojing. This is clearly an injustice. As long as they speak up, Gu Shaojing will definitely not let these people continue to do what they want.

While he was thinking about it, he heard a noisy noise not far away. He looked over there and saw that it was Gu Shaojing riding a tall horse and leading the guard team.

On this crowded street, a team of guards in armor and with firm steps were like a clear stream, clearing a path through the crowd.

Gu Shaojing had a resolute face and an innate heroic spirit between his brows. He was wearing silver armor with exquisite cloud patterns carved on it. The patterns trembled slightly with his steps, as if the wind was blowing through the clouds.

He had a long sword at his waist, and the scabbard was inlaid with gems that sparkled in the sun.

The armored guards marched in unison, their eyes firm and sharp, revealing their unquestionable loyalty and determination.

In the crowd, their presence is like an iron wall that makes people dare not approach easily.

With their arrival, the originally noisy streets suddenly became quiet.

People stopped and looked at the team in awe.

Some vendors hurriedly packed up their stalls, some pedestrians hurriedly avoided the scene, and people from the houses on both sides of the street also leaned out their heads and looked around curiously.

"The prince is here! I heard he was injured on the battlefield a few days ago, but I didn't expect him to recover so quickly. God is always there for the lucky ones." "Great, the prince has recovered, and the guardian of Lingzhou is back."

"My relative who works in the palace told me that the prince's leg was cured by the doctor in Huichun Hall. Now it seems that they must have a close relationship. As soon as he heard that someone was causing trouble, the prince brought people here."

"If this is true, then these people are in trouble. If they mess with this kind of person, they will have no place to stay in Lingzhou City in the future."

……

Hearing these noisy discussions, the expressions of the sturdy men immediately became even uglier.

They also accepted commissions from others, helped other companies do things, and asked for some benefits for themselves, but they never thought about sacrificing themselves!

Jiang Qiuchen was also a little dumbfounded. Why did Gu Shaojing suddenly make such a big fuss?

Looking into the room, she saw several children making faces at her, and Gu Yun beside them also had a smug look on her face.

Jiang Qiuchen understood what was going on. It seemed that during the dispute between them and the people outside, Gu Yun ran back to the palace to ask for help.

"Surround this place!"

Following Gu Shaojing's order, the guards responded and quickly dispersed, surrounding the clinic tightly.

The spears in their hands flashed coldly in the sunlight, giving people a chilling feeling.

The sturdy men had never seen such a scene before and were at a loss for a moment. They kept moving their hands and feet and had lost their previous arrogance.

Gu Shaojing dismounted from his horse and strode up to Jiang Qiuchen and Wen Yan.

Looking at his brisk steps, Jiang Qiuchen showed a surprised expression.

"I didn't expect that your legs have grown so much better after not seeing you for a while!"

Gu Shaojing took a look at his legs that had recovered to normal and said with emotion.

"It's all thanks to you guys that you dragged me back from the gates of hell."

"I just received a message from Yun'er saying that you guys were in trouble, so I immediately brought people here."

"Don't worry, there is no reason for you to be wronged in my Lingzhou territory."

After Gu Shaojing finished speaking, he glanced at a few people without leaving a trace. Although he did not say anything harsh to them, the content contained in his eyes was worth more than a thousand words.

Those people had long lost their previous arrogance. They lowered their heads like quails and pushed each other, as if they were trying to push someone out to deal with the matter.

Some people wanted to flee the scene, but before they could even take a step, they were frightened by the silver light of the spears in the soldiers' hands and dared not move.

Jiang Qiuchen took a few steps forward and passed Gu Shaojing.

"Thank you for your help today, Prince. However, this matter is not a difficult one for me. I have a way to solve it."

"Didn't these guys say that we killed his mother? I told them to open their eyes and see how I brought someone back to life!"

After these words were spoken, not only the sturdy men, but even Gu Shaojing who came later looked incredulous.

Back from the dead, seriously?
