Chapter 28 I have never heard such a strange request
As the girl’s voice rose, the evil slaves also stopped their movements, holding whistle sticks, and formed a semicircle in the court.
Daodao's eyes fell on the Zhao family's mother and daughter, and they wandered away with ill intentions.
"Where's Zhao Duan? Tell him to come out." Zhang Changji's eyes lit up when he saw the two women, but he quickly pretended to be looking for them.
Eugene Hua forced himself to calm down, took steps to pull his daughter behind him, tried his best to smile, bowed slightly, and said uneasily: "The elder is not at home today. I don't know what you have to do. I can convey it on my behalf."
At this time of year, women give birth early, and although Eugene is a mother, her figure is at its peak, and she is more plump and beautiful than her daughter.
At this moment, she was wearing a dark green satin dress, which highlighted her fair complexion even more.
When it leans down, its head is slightly lowered, and its collar is like a caterpillar.
Bah, why is it that Zhao's whole family is so good-looking... Zhang Changji's heart was twisted with jealousy, and he lied: "Zhao Duan owes me a thousand liang, and he hasn't paid it back. I'll collect the debt today." "If he's not here, I'll have to ask the two ladies for it."
"Mom, he is lying..."
Zhao Pan's eyes widened and he was very angry.
It's true that Zhang Changshuo didn't even act well, he just had "I'm talking nonsense" written all over his face.
"Don't talk!" Eugene Flower stopped her upright daughter. The beautiful woman looked embarrassed and said: "It's like this. I wonder where the IOU is?"
Zhang Changshuo said lazily: "I didn't bring it."
Eugene Flower said apologetically:
"All the money in the house is in Dalang's hands. Please go back first and wait for Dalang to come back later..."
Zhang Changshuo let out a "ha" and said: "Come back? Do you still think Zhao Duan can come back alive today?"
Eugene Hua’s expression changed!
Zhang Changji was proud and sneered: "Who in the entire capital doesn't know that Zhao Duan caused trouble and was impeached by the civil and military officials of the court, and was arrested and interrogated in the palace this morning?
It's already this hour, and he's nowhere to be seen. I'm afraid he's been sent to prison, and officers and soldiers might come to ransack his home later. What will happen to the money he owes me by then? "
The hearts of both the mother and daughter of the Zhao family sank!
In the past three days, Zhao Duan has not returned to his home.
At first, they were still rejoicing. After all, if Zhao Duan came back, they would inevitably be yelled at by him and their dignity would be destroyed.
But gradually, rumors spread.
The mother and daughter also learned that Zhao Duan had been impeached, lost the favor of the empress, and was about to become a prisoner. They were extremely worried!
Zhao Pan, who has a strong temper and cannot bear Zhao Duan's insults, has his own ideas.
He kept comforting his mother, saying that in the worst case, the two of them would sell their property, go to a small place, buy a small courtyard, and live on their own.
Even if it is miserable, it is better than living under someone else's roof and being PUA all day long.
But Eugene Hua, who is used to the ups and downs of the world and knows how difficult it is to survive, knows that her daughter is too young and has naive ideas.
If Zhao Duan is really dead, how can they escape the subsequent revenge?
I'm afraid the end will be a hundred times worse than death.
But in the face of the temple struggle, what can Eugene do as a weak woman?
We can only pretend to be calm, stabilize the mood of the servants at home, and hope that the family can escape this disaster.
Unexpectedly, before Zhao Duan's punishment was determined, the debt collector's enemy had already smelled the smell and broke into the house.
"This young master," Eugene Hua held her daughter's hand, the joints almost turning white, and tried to calm down:
"I don't know where you heard the rumor, I..."
"Master, stop talking nonsense with them," said the evil slave of the Zhang family at the side:
"People like this are used to not shedding tears until they see the coffin."
With that said, everyone held whistle sticks and narrowed the encirclement.
The beautiful woman's face turned pale, she took a step back and her voice almost changed in tone:
"what you up to?!"
Zhang Changji sneered: "Follow me in to search!"
After saying that, he strode towards the mother and daughter.
"You dare!"
The beautiful girl Zhao Pan suddenly walked out, holding her mother in her arms. A dagger slipped out of her sleeve, she held it in her hand and pointed forward.
Her eyes stared at him:
“I’ll kill you if you come here!”
Zhang Changji's eyes were contemptuous. With his martial arts skills, how could he be afraid of this?
With a flick of her finger, a force shot out. The girl's slender wrist shook, she groaned in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.
"Pan'er!" When Eugene was horrified, he hugged his daughter again. The two girls fell to the ground together, their eyes filled with despair.
At this moment, Zhang Changji's ears moved slightly and he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from outside the hospital.
Accompanied by it, there are also unique sound waves emitted by Wufu Qi machine vibrating the air.
Zhang Changji's face changed slightly, and he turned sideways and looked back based on a warrior's premonition.
I saw a black shadow leaping up outside the towering Zhao family courtyard door.
Like an eagle flying in the sky, blocking the sun.
Zhao Duan's face was gloomy. He was in mid-air, throwing a bunch of copper coins hard in his hand. Each copper plate broke the hemp rope, causing a sharp roar in the air, and he threw the hood towards Zhang Changji.
"Zhao Duan!"
Zhang Changji was so shocked that he had no time to think. He subconsciously dodged and the copper coin smashed into the wooden pillar with an astonishing force. It was actually a means of killing.
It's not that Zhao Duan deliberately killed him, but that he had just been promoted to the middle level and had not yet adapted to the expanded power.
At this moment, when he took action with anger, he felt his Dantian was burning hot, his blood was almost boiling, and a sense of domineering arose spontaneously.
"Get away!"
Zhao Duan shouted angrily, and stepped on the roof with his toes. Pieces of green tiles cracked, and the fragments were like machine gun bullets, sweeping across the courtyard in a fan shape.
"Oh!"
"Master...save me..."
A group of evil slaves holding whistle sticks screamed, blood spurted from their bodies, and they fell down!
Zhao Duan used his legs to swoop down like a big bird and kicked away the evil slave who had just proposed to take action.
First, he glanced at the shivering aunt and stepsister who were hugging each other on the ground. Seeing that they were fine, their eyes immediately locked on the real owner.
"Zhao Duan! How can you come back?"
Zhang Changji's pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice was filled with disbelief.
Shouldn't he be jailed?
Isn’t today his judgment day?
Brother clearly said...
Zhao Duan's expression was as cold as frost, and he squinted his eyes and said:
"Are you surprised that I can come back?"
Perhaps it was the residual memory of the original owner, old and new grudges, that made him extremely disgusted with the people in front of him.
Zhang Changji's face turned ugly, and he realized that something had happened.
But he still didn't know that Zhao Thief would be fine, after all, his brother had sworn yesterday.
Moreover, given his family's powerful background, he was not afraid.
At this moment, he calmed down and smiled coldly: "You are lucky, but I am here to visit you out of kindness, but you treat guests like this, it doesn't make sense."
Zhao Duan frowned, looked at the group of frightened servants next to him, and nodded at someone who looked familiar:
"What's going on?"
The old steward who was ordered had a sore nose: "Lang Jun, you are back. These people broke in and claimed to collect the bill, but they couldn't produce the IOU. The lady stopped them, so they relied on force to rob... "
He stumbled and described the process.
After hearing this, Zhao Duan felt an unknown fire in his heart. He stared at Zhang Changji and said in a emotionless voice:
"Is this a visit you're talking about?"
The captain of the Jingying School, who was wearing a loose bun and a slightly open mind, didn't care much: "So what if it is? So what if it's not? Zhao Duan, with your little skill, do you dare to attack me? If you have the guts to fight, Me?"
As a middle-grade mortal and a solid military warrior, Zhang Changji's actual military strength was much higher than that of Zhao Duan.
Zhao Duan, who had just been promoted to the middle rank and received part of the inheritance of the royal family's "Martial God", and who was suspected of having acquired mysterious martial arts, had a strange expression on his face. Without any warning, he punched out:
"I have never heard such a strange request. I will satisfy you."
