Chapter 298: They Beat Up the Bandit’s Son
It was a deputy commandant who was responsible for patrolling the security outside the city. This person was smart. When he saw the carriage behind Xie Qiao, he was stunned for a moment and then went forward politely.
“Young lady, I wonder what happened here…”
The deputy commandant felt that something was wrong.
It could not be a young lady with a high status.
Recently, all the funds collected by the academies had been sent over, and many young masters and young ladies would go outside the city to put on a show.
Xie Qiao had consumed a medicinal pill in advance, so she was full of energy now, “Since you are responsible for guarding the safety of the people outside the city, you should do your duty. Why are you letting such villains run amok now?!”
“Young lady, why do you say that?!” The commandant’s heart skipped a beat.
They knew the situation outside, but… it would be terrible to meddle.
It had always been like this outside the city. The situation this year was considered good, and the number of victims who died was low.
Xie Qiao pushed Xie Pinghuai forward, “He went to the shed to deliver some clothes and food to a family. Before he reached the shed, he was robbed by these people. Are these people bandits? Even bandits have a conscience, and they know not to take advantage of others especially when they’re in danger! One shouldn’t disregard one’s conscience! How innocent are these disaster victims outside the city? It’s not easy to obtain things to keep out the cold, but they were robbed by such shameless people. It really… pisses me off!”
Xie Qiao looked fierce, but what she said made the deputy commandant think she was a little childish.
The officers and soldiers who came here looked at Xie Pinghuai again…
He was a poor boy with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He was also dressed very simply and pitifully. He was also a disaster victim.
“This is all a misunderstanding. I think he thinks that this kid is crafty and doesn’t seem like a good person. That’s why they stopped him and checked his bag. Young lady, you may not know this, but there are many disaster victims outside the city, but there are always people who want to bully them. These people with staff are all here to protect the disaster victims. That’s why they’re a little fierce,” the deputy commandant said with a smile.
Xie Qiao suddenly threw the heater in her hand.
It directly hit the commandant’s head.
In an instant, a bloody hole was created.
“Impudent! How dare you turn the truth around! As an officer, how dare you collude with such villains! You even dare to frame my brother. When I go back, I will definitely let my Father take a look at your records!” Xie Qiao said, she pulled the dazed Xie Pinghuai and stuffed him into the carriage, “Brother, you are badly injured, right? It’s okay. With me here, I will not let others bully you!”
“Your… brother?” The Commandant was stunned, “May I ask who you are…”
“M-My Father is Xie Niushan, the one who chased the barbarians away!” After Xie Qiao finished speaking, she almost lost her breath and panted quickly.
It had been a long time since she spoke so… fiercely.
She was so tired.
Acting was not easy.
“A-All of you are bad people. M-My Father has always taught us to be gentle and kind. W-We must not bully people. Moreover, these people have just encountered a disaster. We should take care of them more and brace the difficulties together. Today, I brought my brother here to show him how hard the people are working and to learn to share joy and sorrow together. I-I never thought that you would be s-so shameless!”
After saying that, Xie Qiao turned around sadly and climbed onto the carriage, “Let’s go! Let’s tell Father and Eldest Brother about this!”
The servants immediately followed. The coachman drove the carriage and quickly left.
Only then did the soldiers and hooligans realize that they were gone after snapping back to their senses.
Who was that?
Her Father was Xie Niushan?!
The hooligans’ expressions changed.
They… beat up Xie Niushan’s son?!
Xie Niushan, they had heard of that name. Everyone used the name Bandit Xie to scare people out there!
