Chapter 151 Refugees?
Chapter 151 Refugees?
"Brother! Are you okay!?"
When Mr. Xue San saw Xue Bin coming down the mountain, he rushed up excitedly!
"Third brother, I...I'm fine."
When Xue Bin saw Mr. Xue San, he forced a smile.
However, Xue Bin's smile looks even better than crying.
There is no other reason, it’s mainly because Xue Bin’s current appearance is really too miserable.
With his bruised face and nose, it was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing.
When Jiang Chen saw Xue Bin like this, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
"As long as it's okay! Just as long as it's okay!"
"Little brother, I really want to thank Brother Jiang Chen this time!"
"As soon as you got into trouble, Brother Jiang Chen took people with me to the county city to report the news!"
"Otherwise, you might be in great danger!"
Mr. Xue San said with a sigh.
But these words sounded extremely harsh to Xue Bin's ears!
Thank you Jiang Chen! ?
Why should we thank Jiang Chen!
It wasn’t Jiang Chen who saved him!
What's more, Jiang Chen saw him like this this time!
He is such a disgrace!
When Jiang Chen saw Xue Bin's silence, he knew that this beast would not thank him.
However, he pretended to be concerned and walked forward: "Brother Xue Bin, are you okay?"
"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your concern. I... I'm fine." Xue Bin forced himself to force a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Well, you're fine."
"By the way, I don't know where those bandits who captured you came from. Have they... been caught?" Jiang Chen asked with a frown.
"This……"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the faces of the four old soldiers instantly turned ugly.
After all, Xue Bin had stabbed those three bandits to pieces!
"Bin'er, what are the origins of those bandits? Have they ever told us?"
At this time, Xue Wenyan also came out and asked Xue Bin.
……
Xue Bin finally reacted when he saw his father.
If he said that those bandits were the remnants of the Mopanshan bandits, things would seem difficult to explain.
Then, Xue Bin rolled his eyes and said, "Father, those are refugees."
"They couldn't survive, so they kidnapped me and wanted money."
"I see." Xue Wenyan nodded with satisfaction.
Xue Bin's answer made him very satisfied.
He was really afraid that Xue Bin would say that it was the bandits from Mopan Mountain who did it.
But after Jiang Chen heard Xue Bin's words, his heart was filled with disdain.
Refugees?
Do the refugees dare to arrest Xue Bin?
Isn't this a joke?
Jiang Chen believed that the refugees were starving and robbed the common people.
However, the refugees caught Xue Bin simply because they were tired of living!
He was the son of the former magistrate of Jinchuan County and now the county magistrate of Luzhou County!
What's more, how dare the refugees ask for five thousand taels of gold!
It seems that Xue Bin must have something to do with the attack on Zhoujia Village by the Mopanshan bandits!
"Nephew Jiang, thank you very much this time."
"You've been busy for several days, go home and have a rest. I'll take Xue Bin and the third brother back to the county first." Xue Wenyan said to Jiang Chen with a faint smile.
Jiang Chen smiled when he heard Xue Wenyan's words: "Okay, Uncle, be careful on your way back. I'll take my leave now!"
After saying that, Jiang Chen took Old Wu and the others away.
Xue Wenyan and the others looked at Jiang Chen's departing back, but they had different thoughts in their minds.
But in the end, no one said anything, but followed Xue Wenyan to the county town.
……
"Village Chief, I...I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it..."
On the way back to Zhoujia Village, Old Wu hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke to Jiang Chen with a gloomy face.
"Ok?"
Jiang Chen was slightly startled when he heard what Old Wu said.
But he soon smiled and said, "Old Wu, you and I are brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
After such a long period of contact, Jiang Chen has great trust in Old Wu and his group.
So, what is there not to say?
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Old Wu took a deep breath and then said, "Village Chief, there's something wrong with Master Xue!"
"Ok?"
When Jiang Chen heard what Old Wu said, his eyes suddenly froze!
Old Wu, what did you discover?
"Village leader, I know it may not be a good idea to say this."
"But when Mr. Xue looked at you, I always felt that he was hostile to you."
"Also, this time when Master Xue was arrested, he said it was done by refugees, but I don't think so."
"How could ordinary refugees touch Master Xue? Moreover...how could ordinary refugees know that there is such a valley beside Mopan Mountain?"
"So... I... I think that this incident was probably done by the remnants of the bandits from Mopan Mountain."
"It's just that I don't understand why Master Xue doesn't just say it directly."
Jiang Chen heard what Old Wu said and smiled faintly: "Haha, this is very simple."
"Because Zhoujia Village was attacked by bandits from Mopan Mountain, and it was Xue Bin who was behind it!"
"What!?"
When Old Wu and the others heard Jiang Chen’s words, they were all stunned!
They tightened the reins to stop their horses and looked at Jiang Chen in shock!
"Haha, everyone, there's no need to be like this. This matter... I just discovered it recently." Jiang Chen looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd and smiled faintly.
……
"This……"
When Old Wu and the others heard Jiang Chen's words, they were even more shocked.
"Village Chief, you...since you know about this, then...why did you bring us here to rescue people?"
"Yes, village chief, wouldn't it be better to let the bandits kill Xue Bin this time?"
"If we had known earlier, we should have attacked together and killed Xue Bin and all the bandits!"
"That's right!"
"In the battle of Zhoujia Village, we lost a lot of brothers!"
"Why... why is Xue Bin doing this?"
Old Wu and the others kept talking about it.
Jiang Chen heard everyone's discussion, shook his head and said, "Everyone, I know you are uncomfortable, and I am uncomfortable too."
"I have also thought about killing Xue Bin and the bandits."
"But have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if we did this?"
"Xue Bin is easy to deal with. It's easy to kill him."
"But Xue Wenyan is not easy to deal with!"
"We can't be impulsive, lest... the whole village be implicated!"
"This……"
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Old Wu and the others fell silent.
They knew that Jiang Chen was telling the truth.
Just based on the strength shown by the guards around Xue Wenyan today, if they want to deal with Xue Wenyan, that... is not an easy task!
“Village Chief, are we going to swallow this anger?!”
"Village chief, I'm afraid that bastard Xue Bin will attack us again!"
Old Wu said with a worried look on his face.
"I know that."
"Although I am concerned about Xue Wenyan, Xue Bin... must be dealt with, but... we need an opportunity!"
Jiang Chen said coldly, and then led everyone back to the village.
However, after Jiang Chen arrived at the village, he was stunned!
Because Xu Caixia actually found him with tears streaming down her face!
