After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 248 Life-saving grace

After leaving the city and walking a few miles, they saw a dilapidated City God Temple. Just as they were about to take a rest, several people ran out from somewhere with knives in their hands.

The three of them were suddenly a little scared.

Before he could say anything, someone came in carrying a sedan chair.

Jiang Xiaohe stared at the sedan chair without blinking.

Old Wu walked out of the sedan chair and looked at them with disdain.

"It's you!" Jiang Xiaohe said softly.

"It's me!"

"What? It's not enough that you kicked us out of the inn, but now you want to laugh at us in front of us?"

Old Wu stood in front of Jiang Xiaohe with his hands folded: "I came here just to see how you look like dogs that have lost their homes! Weren't you very talkative yesterday? Why aren't you talking today?"

Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but want to speak, but Jiang Xiaohe held him back.

Now that others have brought so many people, they are no match for them and there is no need to argue with them.

"You've seen how miserable we are now. You can leave now."

Old Wu snorted: "Leave? Not that easy!"

"What do you want?" Jiang Xiaohe stared at him and asked.

A man next to Mr. Wu stood up and said, "You little bitch, you dared not give face to our Mr. Wu yesterday and even insulted him. Don't you think about how many lives you have!"

When Zhang Qingshan and Manager Chen heard this, they quickly protected her behind them.

"Yesterday, I thought to myself that it's not easy for a woman like you to do business outside, so I only asked you for a 30% profit, but you didn't know how to appreciate it and dared to talk back to me. Today, I will naturally let you taste the consequences of talking back to me..."

Seeing his fierce look, could it be that he would kill them if they talked back to her?

"Is there no law in your eyes?"

When they heard her say the law, the people who barged in all looked disdainful: "Law? Go out and ask around! In our Fuyang County, the Chamber of Commerce is the law!"

The people around Wu Lao laughed and said, "Brothers, what are you still standing there for! Capture this woman, and after everyone has a good time, sell her to a brothel. Kill these two men and throw them into a mass grave to feed the dogs!"

As they spoke, several people rushed up.

The three of them were terrified, and Jiang Xiaohe was about to shout, "Run!"

A man suddenly flew in from outside and stood in front of them. It was none other than Chang Wei.

Why is he here?

It is obvious that Mr. Wu also knows Chang Wei.

"Chang Wei, this is none of your business. I advise you to mind your own business."

Chang Wei stared at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, please give me a favor today and let them live."

"Your face? How much is your face worth? This is our Chamber of Commerce's business. I'll give you one last piece of advice. You'd better not get involved in the Chamber of Commerce's business, otherwise you'll end up like her."

"What if I say I'm in charge?"

Mr. Wu immediately lost his temper: "Then I'll throw you into the mass grave and feed you to the dogs!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and the people behind him rushed forward.

Chang Wei shouted to Jiang Xiaohe: "Find a place to hide!"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded quickly and turned to go behind the ruined temple.

Shopkeeper Chen protected her.

When Zhang Qingshan saw Chang Wei knock down the other person's knife, he hurriedly picked it up, held the knife high, and stood in front of Jiang Xiaohe and Manager Chen.

Seeing a man running towards him, Chang Wei couldn't get away. He raised his knife and slashed at the man. With luck, he actually hit the man with his knife.

Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "Good job!"

After several rounds, Jiang Xiaohe saw that he was injured, but fortunately, he managed to knock all his opponents down in the end.

Mr. Wu turned around and was about to run.

Chang Wei put a knife across his neck.

"Chang Wei, if you dare to touch me, I...our Chamber of Commerce will never..."

Chang Wei simply pulled the knife away, but before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground, covering his neck with a look of disbelief, and died with his eyes open.

After he fell down, Chang Wei lost his balance. If it weren't for the knife supporting his body on the ground, he would have fallen directly to the ground.

Jiang Xiaohe rushed out: "Chang Wei! Can you still hold on?"

Chang Wei waved his hand: "It's okay, just a little tired."

All this happened in just a quarter of an hour. Looking at the bodies on the ground, Chang Wei said to Zhang Qingshan, "Check to see if there are any alive. If there are, kill them with a single knife to prevent them from running back and informing on the situation."

The man who was not yet dead on the ground immediately struggled to run away. Zhang Qingshan held the knife but did not dare to kill him. Chang Wei threw the knife at him. The man immediately fell to the ground with an unwilling look on his face.

Zhang Qingshan's legs went limp with fear.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at so many corpses on the ground. It was impossible for her to say that she was not afraid, but she still had to pretend to be calm and supported Chang Wei: "Can you stand up?"

Chang Wei nodded and just stood up. Jiang Xiaohe then realized that her hands were very sticky. The firelight in the room reflected on her hands and she saw the blood on them.

"You're hurt!" she exclaimed.

"It's okay, just a flesh wound!"

"Manager Chen, bring the water over here, and also the wine I bought." She bought this wine specifically for Zhang Fu.

Shopkeeper Chen had already come to his senses and hurried to get something from the carriage outside.

While asking Chang Wei to sit in a better position, she disinfected his wound with alcohol and cleaned the area around the wound.

Looking at the torn wound, which was so deep, he didn't even scream.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at the corpses all over the floor and asked, "What should we do with them?"

Chang Wei pointed to the back of the ruined temple and said, "There is a well in the backyard. Throw the bodies into it."

Shopkeeper Chen immediately understood, and although he was afraid, he still pulled Zhang Qingshan and prepared to carry the bodies to the back.

Jiang Xiaohe said: "See if they have anything valuable on them. It would be a waste if we don't take it!"

"Yes!"

Chang Wei looked at her with amusement: "You still have the mood to collect their bodies."

"Why are you not in the mood? Why did you rush here..."

"I heard about you being kicked out when I returned to the inn. Mr. Wu's nickname is Small-minded. I thought that since he had you kicked out of the inn, he would definitely not let you go, so I rode here as fast as I could. I arrived just in time, didn't I?" The last sentence was said while looking at Jiang Xiaohe.

Jiang Xiaohe glared at him: "Because of me, you got hurt so badly, and you still can laugh!"

"Isn't he not dead?" Chang Wei said easily.

But Jiang Xiaohe felt uncomfortable hearing these words. She had no relationship with Chang Wei, but he had saved her and helped her time and again...

How could she repay such a great favor?
