Chapter 398 How Dare You Act so Arrogantly in My Territory?
When Zhang Xing and Wen Jing walked to the west of the city, people on the street were running in one direction, and they could clearly hear the noise of these people.
"Go and take a look, Feier's house is surrounded."
"Hey! It's true. It caused a disaster out of nowhere. Xue'er's family finally recovered a little strength, but they were unlucky so quickly."
"I heard that the people who are looking for trouble are from second-class countries, and the city guards dare not step forward to take care of it..."
At this moment, sisters Fei'er and Xue'er were standing in the yard, their faces pale, and a dozen big men dressed as warriors were blocking the door opposite.
At the front was a middle-aged man in business clothes, about forty years old.
"What? Your father isn't here? What did he do?"
The middle-aged man had his hands behind his back. His eyes were squeezed into slits by his fat face, but his gaze was extremely cold. He was obviously a highly skilled warrior.
"My father went to the imperial capital to borrow money."
Feier said coldly.
"Borrow money? Is it so easy to borrow five million gold coins? I think he is hiding!"
"We don't want to embarrass your family. We have given you five days of grace, and we have done our best."
"Let's do this. First, I'll give you two sisters the opportunity to stay at my house for a few days. When your father comes over with the money, you can leave at any time."
The middle-aged man had no expression, and said with a half-smile.
"Dream, we won't go with you. You are a big liar. You must have some ulterior motive for working together to defraud our family!"
Xueer was outspoken, which made the man opposite her more embarrassed.
"Little girl, please be careful what you say. It was obviously your selling of fake medicinal materials that caused the death. The fault is all yours, and you should be compensated."
The middle-aged man coughed.
"You're talking nonsense. There are so many medicines on the medicine market. Why do you think they are mine? There is no name written on them!"
Xueer argued hard.
"That's enough. I'm not here to argue with you. The witnesses and physical evidence are all there, so there's no point in making excuses."
"Come here, tie me up!"
With a wave of his hand, four big men came up from behind, holding ropes to tie people up.
"This is Bauhinia City, not your Golden Fragrant Flower Empire. Let me see if any of you dare to mess around!"
Xue'er put on a fighting mode, condensing a ball of magic power in her hand, ready to release a magic arrow at any time.
"Hmph! I'm a little mid-level magician, don't resist needlessly. If I get hurt, you can't blame us."
The middle-aged man sneered.
"We are not afraid of death, but you can't leave Bauhinia City. The city guard will be here soon."
By this time, Xue'er was not as scared as before. At worst, she would have to fight with them, so she didn't believe that the people in the City Lord's Mansion wouldn't care.
"Little girl, you are overthinking this. We are not here to cause trouble. This is a business dispute between individuals, and the City Guard will not care about it."
The middle-aged man said nonchalantly.
Xueer bit her lip, not knowing what to say for a moment. She also knew that these personal disputes would not alert the authorities.
The acting city lord just showed up, said a few words and then left. He was not sincere in helping them at all.
If only City Master Zhang Xing was here, he would definitely beat these people out.
I don't know if my father can find him in time. Alas, it's too late.
"You have nothing to say. Everyone has seen it. We are still very reasonable. Inviting you as a guest is just a hostage. As long as the money is enough, you will be released immediately."
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the four big men shook the ropes and were about to tie up the two sisters.
A cold voice came: "You dare to act arrogantly in my city, who gave you the courage?"
