Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons
Chapter 26 Zhou Shicai's Sudden Arrival
"Hunt wild boar? Whatever you say goes?" Niu Er was thinking when the young officer beside him became anxious.
"Come back with me obediently, and we'll go talk things out with our boss."
The young officer looked at Chu Chen and Niu Er's expression, and was about to step forward to grab Chu Chen.
Niu Er said sternly, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, why are you in such a hurry? What if you arrest the wrong person?"
"Hehe, Brother Niu, my brother-in-law said this guy has to be caught. Are you going to stop me?"
This sentence is full of threat.
Niu Er was speechless for a moment. Yes, he was just a small constable, how could he possibly go against Wang Fugui?
Chu Chen suddenly realized that the Sanhe Casino was colluding with the government.
It turns out that the young constable in front of them was the brother-in-law of Wang Fugui, the owner of the Sanhe Casino, and his nickname was Bajin.
The head constable of Qingniu Town was also a frequent guest of Wang Fugui.
This time, Brother Long and his gang went out to collect debts, but they died mysteriously in the mountains. Wang Fugui then speculated that Chu Chen was responsible.
So they joined forces with Ba Jin, bribed the head constable, and prepared to kill Chu Chen to vent their anger.
Since Bajin's position was illegitimate and he was just a temporary worker, they conveniently called over the honest and simple Niu Er.
To be honest, Chu Chen didn't have a good solution at the moment; this matter was quite troublesome.
Although he wasn't afraid of these people, he couldn't very well just pick up a gun and kill them all, or he probably wouldn't have a peaceful life anymore.
Now, we can only take one step at a time.
He then gave Li Qinglian and Wang Defa a reassuring look and spoke to the young constable.
"The whole village can testify for me, what else does the official have to say?"
"Who knows if you guys aren't colluding to give a false testimony? Bad places breed wicked people. Come with me to see our head constable first."
After saying that, he ignored Niu Er beside him and stepped forward to grab Chu Chen, but then he remembered something.
He said to Niu Er, "Brother Niu, arrest them!"
“Eight catties, that doesn’t seem to be in accordance with the rules,” Niu Er insisted.
"Rules, Brother Niu, know your place."
After Ba Jin finished speaking, Niu Er's eyes immediately dimmed.
He said to Chu Chen, "Let's go, sorry for the offense," and then stepped forward and restrained Chu Chen.
Chu Chen did not resist, but Li Qinglian said anxiously, "Husband, you can't go."
Li Qinglian thought of using torture to extract a confession, but Chu Chen didn't care.
If you really force him to take that step, it's okay for me to disappear for a while.
"Don't worry, wait for me at home. I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door."
After calming Li Qinglian and the others down, Chu Chen cooperated and followed Niu Er toward Qingniu Town.
Ba Jin gave Li Qinglian a deep look, then walked out with a smile on his face.
Chu Dazhuang was in a panic, pacing back and forth, until Chu Chen and the others left.
He called to Hu Zi, and together with Wang Defa, they drove the mule cart toward Qingniu Town.
They were also thinking that they could act as witnesses for Chu Chen later.
Just as Chu Chen and his group arrived in Qingniu Town, they saw two luxurious carriages approaching them.
Despite Bajin's usual swaggering around in Qingniu Town, he's nothing in the eyes of the wealthy.
He hurriedly beckoned Chu Chen to get out of the way, afraid of offending the important person in front of him.
However, he was also puzzled as to why this tall, imposing man was coming to this godforsaken place, Qingniu Town.
The carriage stopped right in front of them.
"Hey, Brother Chu, where are we going? There are two government officials with us."
The person who stepped down from the carriage was none other than Zhou Shicai, who had sold the house to Chu Chen.
Hearing the distinguished guest greet Chu Chen warmly, Ba Jin realized something was wrong.
So he mustered his courage and stepped forward, saying, "Esteemed sir, this man is a wanted murderer. We are taking him back to town for questioning."
Before Chu Chen could speak, Ba Jin took over the right to speak.
"Brother Chu, did you kill someone? Who did you kill?" Zhou Shicai asked suspiciously, completely ignoring Bajin beside him.
"Boss Zhou, look at me, I'm so weak, how could I possibly kill anyone?" Chu Chen said with a smile.
Thinking to himself, judging from Zhou Shicai's imposing manner, it seems that he won't need to take action today.
"Brother Chu, you must be joking. It's just killing someone. To you, killing someone is nothing."
After saying that, he turned to Bajin and said, "You don't need to take the person to town. Leave him to me."
At this moment, Bajin was also furious. Who do you think you are? I'm just handing this over to you?
"Esteemed sir, this man is a murderer. Please do not make things difficult for me. May I ask your name?"
I'll test your waters first before I say anything more.
"Hey, I'm telling you, you're so clueless, slap yourself."
As soon as Zhou Shicai finished speaking, a servant-like man rushed up from behind and slapped Bajin twice.
He beat the eight-pound man senseless.
"You dare to rob the government? I think you're tired of living. Whoever you are in Qingniu Town today, I'll make sure you suffer a lot. I'm not called Bajin if I don't teach you a lesson."
Ba Jin, struggling to get up, roared fiercely at Zhou Shicai.
His mother resorts to violence at the slightest disagreement; does she even know the saying "even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake"?
After saying that, he shouted to Niu Er, "What are you standing there for? Go back and call for help!"
Niu Er already disliked Ba Jin, and remained unmoved at this moment.
"Hey, this kid's so arrogant. I'll wait for you to go get some people, hurry up."
At this moment, a young man stepped out of the carriage and asked, "Uncle Zhou, what has delayed us?"
"Ah, young master, this is Chu Chen, whom I told you about. He seems to have encountered some trouble."
Chu Chen looked up and saw a young man about his age walking towards him.
"Boss Zhou, who is this young master?" Chu Chen asked, looking at the young man in front of him.
"Brother Chu, this is my young master, Zhou Heng!"
"This humble one, Chu Chen, greets Young Master Zhou."
Chu Chen immediately stepped forward and bowed, sensing that the person before him was no ordinary individual.
They lacked the ostentatious air of a businessman, but possessed the aura of superiority cultivated over many years.
Moreover, Zhou Shicai, as a salt merchant, seemed to treat this person with great respect, so he must be someone of great importance.
"Brother Chu, you are too kind. I am sorry to have bothered you with your visit."
Chu Chen was puzzled. Wasn't it agreed that they would come in March? Why did they arrive in just a few days?
Seeing Chu Chen's puzzled look, Zhou Shicai explained.
“Young Master Chu, I showed your treasure to my young master, and he couldn’t wait to come and see you. Please forgive my intrusion.”
"It's alright, but I'm completely unprepared right now. You two will probably have to leave empty-handed."
What a joke! Is salt production really that simple?
Those are the items in my inventory that I'm keeping for my own use; how could I easily sell them to you?
"It's alright, then please lead the way to your home, Brother Chu, and I'll be sorry to bother you."
As the group prepared to board the carriage, a shout came from afar.
"Halt! You think you can just beat someone up and run away in my Qingniu Town? Have you no patience for life?"
