Chapter 507 The feasibility of this matter

Gao E looked at the snake skin and asked someone to remove it.

Are you sure you're not delivering food to the giant snake?

"It's a big snake. Whether we can find it is a problem." Hong Sheng sighed. "Unless there is a snake catcher who understands the habits of snakes, it will be quick."

When the two people said this, Gao E shuddered. What if... the snake was found by Yuan Chengfeng?

If Yuan Chengfeng died in the mouth of the big snake, no one would be able to say anything.

Immediately her expression became serious as she thought about the feasibility of this matter.

"The ice at the mountain pass hasn't melted yet?" Gao E looked at Du Weiqing.

"It's melted, but the water near the cliff is very shallow, so we can go straight across." Du Weiqing replied, "I think we can pile up rocks on both sides and use them as a road."

Gao E hadn't looked at it recently, thinking that it would require a boat or a bridge. "I'll take care of this matter. You all go back first."

Chen Ke looked at Gao E. He still didn't want to kill the snake: "That snake might not be simple."

"Yes." Gao E nodded, "So I will be cautious about this matter."

Everyone felt relieved when Gao E said she would be cautious.

After seeing Du Weiqing and the others off, Chen Ke also left. Gao E gestured to Luo Dagang to go to the main hall with him.

Luo Dagang knew that they were discussing his sister's matter.

"Go find the man who bought the snake gallbladder from you right now and buy the snake-attracting incense from him. Don't let him know who you are." Gao E whispered.

Luo Dagang was puzzled: "Why is this?"

"I plan to lure Yuan Chengfeng to Qingtan and let them fight each other." Gao E narrowed her eyes.

Luo Dagang suddenly realized: "I'll go right away."

As soon as Luo Dagang left, Chen Jie and Lei arrived. They both still felt uneasy.

"Second sister-in-law, why don't we discuss it with eldest brother and the others and run away tonight?" Lei suggested.

"How do we discuss this with Big Brother?" Gao E looked at Lei. "Father and mother are so old. They won't leave even if they die here."

Chen Jie thought about it and asked, "What should I do then?"

"You can open the store as usual tomorrow and leave the rest to me." Gao E said directly.

"But..." The more Lei thought about it, the more he felt that they couldn't afford to offend that person.

"Believe me." Gao E looked at Lei.

Seeing how calm her second sister-in-law was, Lei immediately calmed down as well: "Okay."

"Don't tell your elder brother and the others about this in advance, it will make them worry for nothing." Gao E warned.

"Why don't we discuss it with my eldest brother?" Chen Jie felt that his eldest brother might have some solution.

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "Then go and call my eldest brother over."

Just as Chen Jie was about to get up, Chen Hanyue appeared at the door.

"I'll go call." She said and ran away.

Chen Hanyue had also experienced what happened today and knew it was a serious matter. She was struggling over whether or not to tell her father. But now that her second aunt and the others wanted to discuss it with her father, she didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Soon Chen Qing came over and Chen Jie told him in detail what happened today. The more Chen Qing listened, the more serious his expression became.

"Why don't you call your second brother over to discuss such a big matter?" Chen Qing looked at them.

"Brother, you know my husband's temper. Let's discuss it first and see what I need him to do." Gao E had no intention of calling Chen Ke.

Chen Qing frowned and thought for a long time before sighing, "People don't fight against officials, let alone someone with a noble title. We can't afford to offend him."

Hearing their elder brother say this, Chen Jie and Lei were both very discouraged.

"Unless the magistrate is willing to step forward and unite with the students and gentry of the county to put pressure on Earl Yishun to discipline his son, but..." Chen Qing did not continue.

But it's impossible.

His second brother did not have that kind of appeal in He County, and the county magistrate would not offend Yishun Bo because of Qing'er.

To put it bluntly, they are like ants, even a fallen leaf can kill them.

"Or..." Chen Qing hesitated.

"We can't hand Qing'er over no matter what." Lei said firmly.

Chen Qing glanced at Lei and said, "We, the Chen family, would never do such a thing. A tree that doesn't move dies, a person who moves lives. The worst that can happen is that we have to leave our hometown and find another way to make a living."

"This is what my second sister-in-law thought of." Lei clapped her hands. "How about we go back and pack our things?"

"Maybe things won't be that bad." Gao E was relieved. At least these people in the Chen family didn't want to sell out others for their own safety.

Chen Qing looked at Gao E: "Does my second sister-in-law have any other ideas?"

"I just don't think things have reached that point yet," Gao E analyzed. "Lord Xu also said today that the son of Marquis Yishun has no official position. He's just trying to intimidate us and throw us off balance."

"If we really lose our composure, we will fall into his trap. After all, they didn't really try to rob us. If they really try to rob us and Lord Xu watches helplessly, we will be right." Gao E wanted to stabilize the Chen family first.

When everyone heard this, they agreed. Lord Xu treated the son of Earl Yishun with neither humility nor arrogance today, so perhaps he didn't take that man seriously at all.

"Then what my second sister-in-law means is..." Chen Qing frowned.

"I won't move unless the enemy takes action. Tomorrow, my third brother will do business as usual and wait for them to take action." Gao E said directly.

Chen Qing felt that this was too risky, but he had no other choice: "Then I will go with my third brother tomorrow."

"Okay." Chen Jie did not refuse. He felt at ease with his elder brother around.

After discussing for a while, several people went home.

The store has to open tomorrow, and Chen Jie and his wife are busy preparing things to sell tomorrow.

Gao E sat in the room until late at night, thinking about this matter over and over again.

In fact, she knew very well that even if Yuan Chengfeng died in the mouth of the big snake, Yi Shunbo would still vent his anger on them, which would be a huge trouble.

Unless... she proves her ability to Xu Boyan, Xu Boyan will help her, and Xu Boyan's backers are much more powerful than Yishunbo.

But cooperating with someone like Xu Boyan is like trying to get the skin of a tiger, but only tigers have tiger skins.

To put it bluntly, she is too weak.

At this time, there was a slight knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Gao E knew that Lu Qingluo had returned.

Lu Qingluo came in from outside.

"How is it?" Gao E asked with a smile.

"He was beaten into a pig's head and thrown into the cesspool." Lu Qingluo raised his eyebrows.

"Girls shouldn't do such risqué things." Gao E held back her laughter.

"What should we do next?" Lu Qingluo sat opposite Gao E.

"Next..." Gao E still felt that this matter was very passive. "Wait."

At dawn, Luo Dagang came back and brought back three snake-attracting incense sticks.

The snake-attracting incense was sealed with two layers of wax and lacquer, and there was no visible clue from the outside.

"Are you sure this is the snake-attracting incense?" Gao E held the three snake-attracting incense sticks.

"Lin Dazhu swears on his ancestors for eighteen generations." Luo Dagang was sure, and he didn't dare to let any accidents happen.

Gao E nodded: "Then go back to sleep first."

"I'm not sleepy." Luo Dagang wanted to get rid of Yuan Chengfeng immediately.

"Go back to sleep first, then you'll have the energy to deal with those people." Gao E looked at Luo Dagang and said, "Let Qing'er come to my place."

Luo Dagang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
