"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 289
Several rescued women knelt down and thanked Chen Ziang, because Chen Ziang gave them a way to survive.
"From now on, you are free."
When Chen Ziang saw these haggard women, he waved his hands to tell them to get up, because for him, it was just a matter of lifting his hands.
Although the members of the Chu family were aggrieved, they did not dare to make mistakes in the face of Chen Ziang and the others who held swords in their hands.
"Master Jun, you can't let them go, otherwise, I won't be able to explain it when I go back."
The middle-aged man of the Chu family didn't look very good-looking, and he raised his request again.
"Why, you want to court death, don't you?!"
Li Changqing, the captain of the personal guard, also looked angry when he saw that they were still entangled, and gave them a vicious look.
"I don't make it difficult for you either. Go back and tell your patriarch that I, Chen Ziang, saved him. If he has any dissatisfaction, feel free to come to me, Chen Ziang."
Chen Ziang stopped Li Changqing from continuing to yell, and spoke slowly.
"But General Chen Zi'ang of the Qinghe Army?"
Hearing Chen Ziang's self-reported name, the middle-aged man of the Chu family was also shocked, and looked at Chen Ziang sitting on horseback again.
Chen Ziang nodded: "If it is fake, it will be replaced."
These members of the Chu family did not expect that it was Chen Ziang from the Qinghe Army, and their complexions also changed, showing fear in their eyes.
After the Qinghe army occupied Lujiang Mansion, they implemented a series of policies in the Lujiang Mansion area, and many wealthy and powerful families were knocked down.
Their Chu family did a lot of good deeds on weekdays, which saved them from catastrophe and became a big surviving family.
Now that they have bumped into this decisive general of the Qinghe army, they are also full of bitterness.
"Caomin and the others rushed against the general, and asked the general to make a large number"
After thinking of Chen Ziang's identity, the middle-aged man from the Chu family was also terrified, leading everyone to kneel down and beg for mercy.
However, the few women who were rescued did not expect that it was Chen Ziang, the general of the Qinghe Army, who rescued them, which undoubtedly made them even more happy.
Because they are still worried that these soldiers will be afraid of the Chu family and hand them over to the family again. If that happens, they will have no way out.
"Those who don't know are innocent, but you also bring me a sentence back to your patriarch, don't treat people's lives like this again."
"The women of your Chu family were plundered by the bandits, and instead of saving the men of your Chu family, they came back, but you have to ignore human lives because of the so-called family tradition and for the sake of the face of your Chu family. The men of the Chu family are also too cruel. Planted some."
After Chen Ziang said this to the Chu family who were kneeling on the ground, he left with a few rescued women and returned to Lujiang Mansion.
The Chu family originally wanted to sink these family women who were looted by the bandits in order to protect the face of the Chu family.
But who knew that Chen Zi'ang, a general of the Qinghe Army, stepped in and rescued him.
The members of the Chu family who were carrying out the task did not dare to neglect, hurriedly returned to the manor outside the city, and reported the situation to their patriarch.
The patriarch of the Chu family didn't expect that Chen Ziang would be offended by just implementing an ordinary family law, and he was also uneasy.
The Qinghe Army now controls the Lujiang Mansion, and the Chu family is just a piece of meat on the chopping board, so they naturally dare not offend Chen Ziang.
Therefore, soon the patriarch of the Chu family had to bring generous gifts to the government office of Lujiang Mansion to meet Chen Ziang and apologize to Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang didn't want to anger the Chu family either. He received the patriarchs of the Chu family and praised their Chu family's daily actions. After all, they often benefit the village.
However, while praising, Chen Ziang also emphasized the concept that everyone is equal, and asked them to change the family rules and stop taking human lives lightly.
"They are all members of your Chu family, you can take them back, but the family law can no longer be enforced, if you insist on acting recklessly, don't blame me, Chen Ziang, for not being sympathetic."
After Chen Ziang talked to the patriarch of the Chu family, he called out the women of the Chu family he had rescued and asked the patriarch of the Chu family to take them back.
"General, they were expelled from my Chu family's house when they were plundered by bandits. I absolutely cannot take them back, but they returnedOkay, so for the sake of the Chu family's face, we have to enforce the family law. "
"Now that the general intercedes to spare them, my Chu family will naturally give the general a face, but from now on, the Chu family will not interfere with them, and it has nothing to do with them."
Chen Ziang didn't expect that the Chu family had already expelled these women from the house, so his expression darkened.
"You mean, the Chu family doesn't want them anymore?" Chen Ziang asked coldly.
The patriarch of the Chu family nodded in shame: "My Chu family has been established here for more than a hundred years, and the family tradition is very strict. They have been among the bandits once, and of course they can't enter my Chu family again, otherwise my Chu family The family is ashamed to see people."
Facing the stubborn head of the Chu family, Chen Zi'ang's face turned livid.
But he also knows that these big families have a lot of rules and regulations, and sometimes they don't even want their lives for the so-called face.
Although he told them that everyone is equal, many of the deep-rooted things they follow cannot be changed in a short time.
Even if I forcibly send these rescued women back to the Chu family, even if they can survive, but after walking in the bandit's den once, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.
"Changqing, see off the guests!"
Seeing that the Chu family was still so stubborn, Chen Ziang had no intention of continuing the conversation, and directly sent the captain of the personal guard Li Changqing to see off the guests.
Li Changqing stepped forward, stood in front of the head of the Chu family, and made a request.
The patriarch of the Chu family looked at the tear-stained woman standing beside him, shook his head, and walked towards the door.
"Dad"
Just as the patriarch of the Chu family was about to step out the door, a woman cried out with a choked voice.
After the patriarch of the Chu family heard the choked shout, his body also paused, but after a while, he still left without looking back.
Seeing her father just disappearing from her sight, Chu Yue couldn't bear it any longer, and burst into tears.
"Miss, don't cry"
The young woman standing beside Chu Yue was relieved, but as she spoke, she also started crying, and the scene got out of control for a while.
"Don't cry, if outsiders listen to it, they will think that I, Chen Ziang, are bullying you."
Chen Ziang also couldn't see women crying, let alone several women, he couldn't help but speak to stop them.
"Since the Chu family doesn't want you anymore, if you have nowhere to go, if you have nowhere to go, you can stay in the Qinghe army temporarily. I, Chen Ziang, can eat a bite, and you won't be hungry."
"Evergreen¡ª¡ª"
"General, what are your orders?"
Li Changqing, who came back from seeing off the guests, rushed over in a hurry.
"We rescued a lot of women from the bandits. We guessed that their experiences were similar when they returned home, so we sent people to search for them. If they were expelled from their homes and became homeless, they would be temporarily taken in by our Qinghe army. "
