Chapter 92 Everyone's here to collect debts from Cao Song? The Tiger General Xu Chu is here!
Chapter 92 Everyone's here to collect debts from Cao Song? The Tiger General Xu Chu is here!
"Xu Family Village?"
"What kind of goods are they, and why are they coming at this time?"
Zhang Kai frowned.
In his mind, a village chief like him was only good at scaring ordinary villagers.
If they encounter a slightly stronger opponent, they'll be defeated in no time.
Moreover, the troops under his command are all elites from Xuzhou!
however.
When Zhang Kai followed Cao Song outside to greet Village Chief Xu, he was so frightened that he dared not move!
Whose village chief is nine feet tall, carrying a huge cleaver, and so broad-shouldered and thick-waisted?!
Those who knew him would have assumed he was the village chief.
If someone didn't know him, they might believe he was the most vicious bandit leader in the world!
"My name is Xu Chu, and I am the village chief of Xu Family Village."
"There is something I would like to discuss with Master Cao today."
Xu Chu bowed to Cao Song in a deep, resonant voice.
Cao Song quickly returned the greeting and respectfully inquired about the specific matter from Xu Chu, not daring to be presumptuous at all.
Others may not know, but Cao Song knew it very well.
Xujia Village is said to be a village.
In reality, it is larger than three or four ordinary villages combined!
The villagers are all from the Xu clan, so they are quite united.
Furthermore, Xu Chu, the village chief of Xu Family Village, is highly skilled in martial arts.
It is said that even when several strong men surrounded him, none of them were a match for him!
Such figures, although their social status was far inferior to that of the Cao, Xiahou, and Ding families.
But Cao Song dared not be disrespectful to Xu Chu in the slightest.
Xu Chu said with a smile:
"It's nothing major, it's just that, Master Cao, you've gone too far in some things!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chu's expression changed drastically.
Cao Song was so frightened that he quickly stepped back, fearing that Xu Chu would kill him with a single blow.
Zhang Kai also opened his mouth wide, somewhat puzzled.
He did a simple survey before he came.
Although the Cao, Xiahou, and Ding families were quite powerful in Qiao County.
However, since the arrival of the chaotic era, these three families have become increasingly low-key and have not been known for their bad reputation for a long time.
Could it be that there's a story he doesn't know about?
Just as Zhang Kai was about to pull up a small stool to watch the drama unfold, Xu Chu suddenly glared at Zhang Kai and pointed his finger at his nose, saying:
"What are you looking at, you rascal?"
"Keep looking, and believe me, I'll slice you in half with one knife!"
Zhang Kai was shocked.
Just as he was about to lash out, a large group of young men from Xu Family Village appeared behind Xu Chu.
This spirit seems to be no less impressive than the five hundred soldiers Zhang Kai brought.
Cao Song wanted to cry but had no tears.
What is this all about!
It's one thing that Zhang Kai has ill intentions, but another.
How did Xu Chu manage to offend the Cao, Xiahou, and Ding families?
Why did two groups of people approach Cao Song on the same day?
but.
Even though the sky is about to fall.
But until it officially collapses, life must continue to be a struggle.
Cao Song mustered his courage and asked Xu Chu:
"I wonder if there is any misunderstanding between you, brave warrior, and my Cao family?"
"This old man...this old man really doesn't remember where my Cao family has offended you, brave man."
Xu Chu gave a cold laugh:
"What Mr. Xu said just now was inaccurate."
“It’s not that you, Cao Song, offended my Xu Family Village, but that your son, Cao Cao, is to blame for everything!”
Now, Cao Song was even more confused.
In fact, Cao Cao had not returned to his hometown of Qiao County for more than ten years.
Even when they first raised an army to fight Dong Zhuo, they only sent people to inform the elders and folks of Qiao County.
Xu Chu said that Cao Cao offended Xu Family Village, isn't that nonsense?
however.
Xu Chu didn't care about that. He raised his broadsword, brandished it twice with great force, and said in a stern voice:
"Old Master Cao, I, Xu Chu, am unaware of those grand principles."
"I, Xu Chu, only recognize the word 'debt'!"
“Your son Cao Cao has offended my Xu Family Village, and your Cao family must pay the price!”
"How about this, all the houses and courtyards that your Cao family has owned in Qiao County over the years will belong to my Xu Family Village from now on."
"As for the rest, I, Xu Chu, will not bother with you!"
"This……"
Cao Songren was practically dumbfounded!
Xu Chu didn't even bother to come up with a legitimate reason; he just demanded all of the Cao family's houses and courtyards.
This is... what's the difference between this and outright robbery?
Zhang Kai, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh.
Good guy!
I never expected that Cao Cao was involved in this!
However, Zhang Kai, who has always been greedy for money, soon stopped being happy.
Because he suddenly realized that the Cao family's houses and courtyards were actually quite valuable.
You should know that this is not an ordinary house, but a luxury mansion!
The money obtained from selling the luxury mansion was also considerable.
But he could never actually use that money, no matter how much he tried.
"Damn it! Xu Chu got off too easy!"
Zhang Kai secretly rolled his eyes at Xu Chu.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chu suddenly turned around and met Zhang Kai's gaze.
"What do you mean, man?"
"Are you trying to steal things from our Xu Family Village?"
Zhang Kai: "???"
Before Zhang Kai could answer, Xu Chu slapped him across the face!
"Boom!"
Caught off guard, Zhang Kai was slapped away on the spot.
Intense pain instantly swept over my entire body.
The soldiers who had come with Zhang Kai strode forward, attempting to surround Xu Chu.
But the strong men from Xu Family Village behind Xu Chu were equally unwilling to be outdone.
The conflict between the two sides was about to erupt at any moment.
"You... you..."
Cao Song's blood pressure spiked.
To this day, Cao Song still doesn't understand what exactly happened.
Suddenly, Xu Yin, Xu Chu's cousin standing behind him, slipped a note into Cao Song's pocket.
Old Cao Song instantly became alert and, taking advantage of Zhang Kai's inattention, opened the note.
"I see……"
Upon learning Xu Chu's "true intentions," Cao Song instantly gained confidence.
He looked at Xu Chu and sighed:
"Village Chief Xu, to be honest, all these houses and courtyards have already been sold."
"As for the one you just slapped away, he was General Zhang Kai, who was sent by Governor Tao of Xuzhou to escort this old man from Xuzhou to Yanzhou."
"If Village Chief Xu wants me to compensate Xu Family Village, then come with me to Yanzhou to ask my son Cao Cao for the money!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chu, channeling his inner theatrical genius, glared fiercely and said menacingly:
"Since you've lost your house and courtyard, you'll have to compensate my Xu family village with all the wealth of your Cao family!"
Before the words were finished, a shrill scream rang out from the side:
"no!"
"Absolutely not!"
The one who spoke was Zhang Kai, who staggered as he got up from the ground.
Xu Chu asked suspiciously:
"What business is it of yours, Zhang Kai, if I, Xu Chu, demand compensation from Master Cao?"
Zhang Kai immediately retorted:
"That money all belongs to me... all to Old Master Cao!"
"I, Zhang Kai, have come here on the orders of my lord, Governor Tao, to escort Master Cao across the border. I must ensure the safety of Master Cao and all the wealth of the Cao, Xiahou, and Ding families!"
Zhang Kai spoke with righteous indignation.
That expression was as sincere as could be.
Unfortunately.
Neither Xu Chu nor Cao Song were fools.
Cao Song had already sensed the malice emanating from Zhang Kai, while Xu Chu was an actor hired by Xi Zhicai and Dian Wei.
At this moment, Zhang Kai, channeling his inner drama queen, is like the most dazzling rooster in the room, doing his best to display his charm.
