Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 118 Two Women's Home Suffers Misfortune

As the sound of "da da da da" rang out.

After the first few people who charged forward fell, the people on the other side were all stunned.

At this moment, Chu Chen leisurely spoke up, "Alright, I'm not interested in killing anyone, so stop rushing in."

Arrogant, extremely arrogant, there are already twenty or so people lying on the ground.

That's what you call not being interested in killing.

Seeing everyone stunned, Chu Chen waved to the city lord: "You city lord are too cowardly, actually bowing down to a merchant."

"Come here, let me show you a treasure."

After saying that, he pulled out the plaque that Zhou Shixun had given him earlier from his waist.

The city lord took a closer look and was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "Young master, I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. Please forgive me."

At this moment, Tang Ting and the others also looked at the token.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw it, and I knelt down as well.

Oh no, I've really messed up. I guess my son died for nothing. I'd better hurry back and practice my alt account.

“Young master, Tang Ting had no intention of offending you. My son is despicable by nature and deserves to be killed. It was a good thing he was killed.”

Holy crap, this is such a sudden change in style, he's even ignoring his son.

In fact, Chu Chen did not know that for the Tang family, they dared not offend anyone but the royal family.

In recent years, he has been able to thrive because he has curried favor with the Eighth Prince.

His son was notorious in Andu City, occupying the family business and causing trouble for the local area.

In Tang Ting's mind, a son can be born again, but if the business is gone, then there is nothing left.

Looking at the kneeling people in front of him, Chu Chen helped the city lord up.

"Alright, this bastard coveted my woman, so killing him was justified. These people were accomplices, so their deaths were not unjust."

"Yes, yes, you are right, young master. Please come to the city lord's mansion so that I can show you some hospitality."

The city lord had figured it out: as long as he served the person in front of him well, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

To be honest, he had long been dissatisfied with the Tang family, who, relying on their status as the Eighth Prince's vassal, had turned the entire Andu City into a state of chaos.

If this young master can capture him, it would be considered a service to the people.

"Alright, I have something to do right now, let's talk about it later."

After saying that, he took the two women's hands and walked towards the car.

The two women, however, remained remarkably calm, as if they had already anticipated the outcome.

"Aren't you two scared?"

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but ask.

“Young master, with your token in hand, no one in this Great Xia Dynasty can pose a threat to you except for bandits and villains.”

Chu Chen then took out the plaque again, looked at the four large characters engraved on it that read "As if the Emperor were personally present," and said, "Is this thing really that useful?"

Nonsense, this brand is enough to make Chu Chen practically invincible in this Great Xia.

"But young master, you must also be wary. Could it be that Tang Ting might retaliate in secret?"

Chunxiang continued speaking to Chu Chen.

Yes, it seems I've been too soft-hearted. Should I write a letter to Zhou Heng?

Let's meet their parents first.

After saying that, the three of them rode the mountain bike out of the city and headed towards a small town.

The car made several turns before arriving at a village.

They stopped at the village entrance, and the three of them, carrying large and small bags, headed towards a house.

A woman was sweeping the floor in front of the dilapidated courtyard.

The sight of his gray hair and trembling figure brought tears to Chunxiang and Qiuju's eyes.

"Mom, we are back."

"You are?"

The woman looked at the two graceful young women with a puzzled expression.

"Mother, don't you remember us? I am Chunxiang."

"I am Qiuju."

"Ah, are you Chunxiang and Qiuju? My son is back, my son is finally back."

Holy crap, is this palace maid's family really that poor?

Chu Chen looked at the dilapidated house and the three people embracing each other with a puzzled expression.

Logically speaking, palace maids shouldn't have low incomes, so how come their families are so poor?

After the three of them finished crying, the old woman finally noticed Chu Chen behind her.

"Who is this?"

"Mother, this is your son-in-law."

"Oh dear, it's the son-in-law. We're sorry you had to see this. We're a poor family, please don't look down on us."

How the hell did I become a son-in-law again? Weren't we supposed to be maids?

What Chu Chen didn't know was that when he decided to take the two women away, they were already nominally his concubines.

Seeing the old man's enthusiasm, Chu Chen couldn't refuse.

So he stepped forward and said, "Old man, the two girls were given to me by the Emperor, but they are free. If you wish to keep them by your side, that is fine too."

"Son-in-law, you absolutely mustn't! If you don't want them, they won't survive either."

What kind of divine logic is this? They're going to die again.

Sigh, I absolutely love this feudal society. There are still people eagerly and forcibly offering their wives to others.

So he quickly said, "As long as Chunxiang and Qiuju don't agree, I'll support them for life."

Hearing Chu Chen say this, the old woman finally felt relieved.

He took out a few stools from the house, wiped them with his sleeve, and then let the group sit down.

"Mother, where is Father? Where is my brother? And why have you aged so much?"

The old woman began to weep as she spoke of the two of them.

After listening to his explanation, Chu Chen couldn't help but clench his fist.

It turns out that the two lost contact with their families after entering the palace at a young age.

Because they received a sum of money as compensation for entering the palace, the family was still doing alright.

So when her two older brothers grew up, they also married beautiful wives through matchmakers.

One day, her brother heard that there was refined salt in Andu City, and that it was sold at a very low price.

So the couple followed their father to prepare the mountain goods.

I'm planning to buy some refined salt to try.

After selling the mountain goods, the three of them went to the refined salt shop.

As luck would have it, they ran into Tang Maofei.

He took a liking to Chunxiang and Qiuju's sister-in-law as soon as he saw them.

Therefore, they were to execute him on the spot.

Their father stepped forward to argue, but was killed by Tang Maofei's men with a single stab.

Seeing this, his brother grabbed his wife's hand and ran away, but he was no match for those people.

He was knocked to the ground in no time.

Because of the kid's twisted mentality, they didn't kill him.

Instead, he was sent to jail on charges of stealing salt.

He said he would take his wife to the jail cell and give her a live performance.

Unable to bear the harassment any longer, the sister-in-law smashed her head against the wall and died in her cell.

Her brother is also in jail now, and we don't know what's going on with him.

"That scumbag! Come on, get in the car." After hearing this, Chu Chen pulled the two women up and headed towards the village entrance.

Although Tang Maofei is dead, their brother must be saved, and the sooner the better.

The car sped along and soon arrived at the Lord's Mansion of Andu City.

Holding the token, Chu Chen traveled without hindrance all the way to the city lord's study.

After listening respectfully to Chu Chen's words, the city lord immediately ordered someone to bring out the two men's older brothers.

The Tang family is courting disaster. They're probably going to have to replace the salt merchants in Andu City by now.

While the constables were taking people away, Chu Chen plopped down in the city lord's seat.

He took out a notebook and a ballpoint pen, and soon wrote a letter.
