Chapter 376: Spring City's Security

s were smiling. "I can let go, but you can't."She, she didn't let go. Couldn't she still be holding on"Alas, how unfortunate! I'm not the kind of woman you think I am!" Qin Luoyan felt helpless, stru...Qin Luoyan smiled and nodded, taking out a silver note worth thirty taels from her bosom and giving it to him. "Thank you for your hard work along the way, big brother." 。" The middle-aged man chuckled and took the silver with glee, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "My dear girl, you're a real treat! In my years of doing this kind of work, I've never met someone who didn't haggle. 。"My dear, you see, if it were two years ago, upon meeting someone as agreeable as yourself, I would have happily given you a discount. However, last year my mother fell seriously ill, and your milady broke her leg. We also have two young children at home depending on us for food. Every copper coin is precious to me right now, so, dear girl, I'm truly sorry, but I cannot reduce the fare." 。“Along the way, this middle-aged man kept smiling. If he hadn't said that just now, Qin Luo could never have imagined that he was someone so weighed down by life.” 。My heart couldn't help but admire this middle-aged man. It's easy for a person to choose selfishness and it's also easy to take care of oneself. However, taking care of one's beloved family requires immense courage. 。She suddenly felt that the feeling of loss in her heart had lessened a lot. Maybe she was infected by this middle-aged man's perseverance, "It's okay, big brother, you don't have to give me less money, just go home and see your family." 。The middle-aged man nodded, bowed to Qin Luoyan and then turned to leave. 。She watched the middle-aged driver gradually disappear into the distance, then turned to head towards the city gate. But just a few steps later, she suddenly heard a scream coming from behind her. She looked back and her face changed drastically. 。Two young men who looked like gangsters pulled the coachman off his carriage. One of them even stabbed the middle-aged driver in the chest with a dagger. The coachman fell into a pool of blood, clutching his money bag with both hands. 。"What a money-grubbing wretch! He's forcing my hand!" 。A young man with a dagger, one foot on the middle-aged coachman's body, bent down to snatch his purse. 。The middle-aged driver was already out of breath and had no strength to stop the man. He could only watch helplessly as he snatched the money bag, his eyes filled with frustration and anger. 。"Why didn't you just give it to me earlier Why did I have to take this hit" 。"The man took the purse and kicked the middle-aged driver in the leg, then winked at the other man and walked towards the city gate." 。Qin Luoyan's heart was filled with dread. In broad daylight, under the clear sky, such a brazen robbery and assault could happen Didn't the government of this barbarian country care She was furious, her teeth itching to go towards the carriage driver, but a woman beside her pulled her back, "Girl, you're from out of town, aren't you Don't get involved, those two are powerful..." 。"Look at those guards. Aren't they pretending not to see" Qin Luoyan glanced in the direction of the city gate and saw that the few soldiers didn't even look in that direction. She was increasingly angry, "Is this how Chun City enforces its laws If so, who can live here peacefully""You don't know about this. Chun City's laws are the strictest among all surrounding cities. No one dares to break the law on a daily basis. It's just that those two are different from ordinary people." 。“The woman sighed.” 。Although Qin Luoyan wanted to help the middle-aged driver, she wasn't a reckless person. So, taking a deep breath, she continued asking, "Who are those two They don't seem like people from a noble family..." 。“Their family may not be noble, but their sister is married into a noble family. Those two are brothers who are nothing more than gangsters, but they have a stunningly beautiful younger sister. Their younger sister married the city lord as his twelfth concubine and is now in favor. It's said she is pregnant. The city lord pampers her dearly, so who dares to touch her family” That's how it is. This is what they call "When one person ascends, all those close to them benefit." Just the family of a concubine can be so lawless! That city lord isn't a good man either.” 。"Your city lord is really not a good official…" Before Qin Luoyan could finish her words, the lady beside her quickly covered her mouth. 。 “No, you’re wrong. The city lord is just being protective. He's only looking out for the people and things he cares about. As for other matters, he's still quite fair. There aren't many merchants who do business in Chun City who don't praise him.” 。If you're lucky enough not to attract the attention of people or things that he cares about, you can live peacefully in this spring city. 。After the woman finished speaking, the two men who had robbed the middle-aged driver also walked over. The woman immediately pulled Qin Luoyan aside and didn't let go until after the two men left. 。Qin Luoyan clenched her fists, but in the end, she didn't act like a naive young girl and rush up to argue with the two of them. As a woman unarmed and powerless, confronting them head-on seemed to offer no chance of victory at all. 。So she gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger, but then hurried to the middle-aged driver's face. 。The middle-aged driver was injured, luckily he didn't hit any vital organs, so although the situation was serious, his mental state was still clear. 。"Can you still stand" Qin Luoyan took out a handkerchief and pressed it against his wound, the other hand carefully supporting him 。The middle-aged man reluctantly nodded and, with her help, got into the carriage. He found a bottle of golden wound medicine and applied it to his wounds, but his eyes had lost all their sparkle. He kept sighing, a middle-aged man in his forties, his eyes red-rimmed, almost ready to burst into tears. 。"I'm useless, they might as well kill me. I have no money left now, and my family will only starve to death when I return home." 。A middle-aged man, frustrated, punched the carriage, cracking his wound open further and causing fresh blood to ooze out. 。Qin Luoyan didn't say anything, she just took out a silver note from her bosom and shoved it into his hand. "If money can solve the problem, it's not a problem at all. Nothing is more important than life." 。"

The middle-aged man looked at the fifty taels of silver in his hand, his eyes becoming increasingly red. "Girl, this is... no, no, I can't take your money, this isn't a small sum! No, even if I'm poor, I won't let myself become so poor that I don't even have any dignity..."

"Forget it, what use is dignity For the sake of living, self-respect, dignity What good are they" Qin Luoyan shook her head. Fearing that the middle-aged coachman would refuse again, seeing that his injuries were still within her control, she turned and walked away 。The middle-aged man still wanted to say something, but the hand clutching the silver note gradually tightened. He lowered his head, and in his eyes, there was no trace of naivety or resentment, only a gleam. Only he could hear him whispering in a voice: “This is the woman the master asked me to protect Interesting indeed.” 。If you find "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" good, please copy and paste the following URL to share it with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!
