I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Pomegranate leaped up and ran towards the fleeing driver.

But the moment Shi Liu chased out, Cui Shuyan suddenly felt a little uneasy.

The current situation is very much like luring the tiger away from the mountain.

"Pomegranate, come back!"

But at this time, Pomegranate had already disappeared into the noisy crowd and didn't hear her shouting at all.

Cui Shuyan looked around and found a teahouse fifty steps ahead, so she planned to go in first.

In this situation, it is safer in a teahouse than on the street.

However, she had just taken a few steps forward when a big dog suddenly jumped out from the alley at the side.

The dog rushed towards her like a madman, baring its sharp white teeth.

Medical books have recorded that a person who was bitten by a mad dog would make a whining sound in his mouth for several days and bite people like a dog. Without exception, the person would die a few days after the attack.

Thinking of this, Cui Shuyan felt a chill in her heart and shouted for help.

Seeing this, Qiao Ya immediately rushed over from behind Cui Shuyan and stood in front of Cui Shuyan.

She pretended to bend down to scare the big dog in front of her.

This is how she scared vicious dogs when she was a child.

In an instant, the big dog was frightened and kept whining, but did not dare to move forward.

But after a moment, the big dog stretched out its front legs, moved its head back, and tentatively moved forward.

Although there were many people watching nearby, no one dared to step forward in the face of such a big dog.

Cui Shuyan shouted, "Whoever can kill this vicious dog will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

Ten taels of silver are enough for an ordinary family's expenses for a year.

It is said that when there is a big reward, there will always be brave men.

Soon, a man holding a carrying pole rushed up and hit the big dog with the pole in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the big dog was very agile and ran left and right, and was not hit.

Later, other people joined in.

"Anyone who kills the vicious dog will receive ten taels of silver! Anyone who helps to besiege it will receive two taels of silver!"

As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts. In an instant, many people ran towards the vicious dog and surrounded it.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, and Cui Shuyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Miss, be careful!" Qiao Ya suddenly rushed over and blocked it.

Cui Shuyan turned around hurriedly and saw Qiaoya bumping into a beggar.

At the same time, several other beggars surrounded her with malicious smiles on their faces.

Cui Shuyan's brows frowned. She paid a high price to have people surround the vicious dog. If these beggars were really beggars, they should join in instead of looking at her like that.

"Miss, please run!" Qiao Ya shouted.

She had been caught by the beggar and could not move.

Cui Shuyan was not willing to leave Qiaoya behind and run away. She just looked at the beggars coldly and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The leading beggar narrowed his eyes and said, "Young lady, come with us."

Cui Shuyan looked around. Although some people were paying attention to this place, no one dared to step forward.

It seems that these people are like thugs here.

If you offend a thug, you will have no money to spend even if you have it.

Thinking of this, Cui Shuyan immediately asked: "If you want silver, I can give it to you, any amount is fine!"

"Silver? I don't want it." As he said that, the beggar stared at Cui Shuyan with a disgusting smile on his face.

As he spoke, the beggar stepped forward and came towards Cui Shuyan.

Cui Shuyan quietly took out the blade hidden in her sleeve pocket and prepared herself for battle.

Judging from the time, Pomegranate will be back soon, she just needs to delay for a while.

Seeing the beggar approaching, Cui Shuyan tightened her grip on the blade in her hand, but at this moment, someone stood in front of her and said, "Put the blade away, don't hurt yourself."

Looking at the tall and majestic figure in front of her, the tense string in Cui Shuyan's heart finally relaxed.

The one who came was Xie Xingyuan.

As soon as he arrived, his men started dealing with the beggars without him even having to take action himself.

Qiaoya quickly returned to Cui Shuyan, still in shock.

Cui Shuyan hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Qiaoya nodded repeatedly, but she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

At this time, Xie Xingyuan turned around, frowning: "Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

"Where's Sixteen? Why isn't he with you?"

"There's something wrong with the driver. Pomegranate went after the driver."

Xie Xingyuan nodded and said nothing.

At this time, the guard came forward and asked how to deal with these beggars.

Xie Xingyuan glanced over there and said, "Hand them over to Jingzhao Prefecture. Ask the prefect to investigate the matter and give me an explanation. We must find out who ordered these people."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The people below go and do their work on their own.

Cui Shuyan was slightly surprised: "How do you know they were instructed by someone?"

"Begging without asking for money is problematic in itself."

Cui Shuyan nodded, this was consistent with her judgment.

Seeing that the vicious dog had been beaten to death, Cui Shuyan took out the silver note from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Xie Xingyuan: "Uncle..."

As soon as she said this, Xie Xingyuan's face turned cold.

Cui Shuyan quickly changed her words: "Brother Xie, in order to deal with the vicious dog just now, I said in a hurry to reward those who surrounded the vicious dog. Please send someone to the bank to exchange the silver and distribute it to them."

Xie Xingyuan didn't answer the call. He just waved to the person behind him and told him to do it.

After a moment, Xie Xingyuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the banknote in Cui Shuyan's hand: "What are you going to do with such a large amount of banknotes?"

"Buy people."

Xie Xingyuan didn't ask any more questions, he just said: "What a coincidence, I have nothing to do today, so I will be your escort."

Cui Shuyan was just about to say that she couldn't afford this guard, but she saw Xie Xingyuan pointing at the carriage not far away and motioning her to get in.

Thinking that with Xie Xingyuan around, there would be no villains causing trouble, Cui Shuyan did not refuse and stepped on the low stool to get into the carriage.

Xie Xingyuan then got on the carriage, but did not enter the car and sat outside.

Cui Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around, she saw Qiaoya looking at her with her eyes wide open.

"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

Qiaoya shook her head repeatedly.

"Then what are you looking at?" Cui Shuyan was puzzled.

Qiaoya didn't say anything. She put her hand on Cui Shuyan's forehead to test the temperature. After a moment, she put it on her own forehead and muttered, "It's not a fever."

Cui Shuyan was happy: "I didn't have a fever in the first place."

"Miss, if you are not confused due to the fever, why are you calling the prince brother?"
