Chapter 87 - 84: Framed to His Face, A Step Back is Actually a Step Forward
"Leave behind your belongings, the matter of Baicao Hall sheltering Li Feiying has nothing to do with the rest of you.
Mr. Tian is not an unreasonable man; everyone put down your crossbow arrows and fall back, carefully distinguishing the scene, you must not let the rebels escape."
Tian Shouyi’s face turned red and then white, and after a long time, he managed to squeeze out a few words.
His voice was even slightly hoarse.
Even the most insensitive could clearly feel the unwillingness and frustration in his heart.
"If you had done this earlier, it would have been much better. Thus, Mr. Zhou and the Third Miss will not delay Lord Tian in searching for the strong thief, we shall take our leave now."
Zhou Ping’an slightly retracted his aura, offering a beaming hand-folded salute.
He casually picked up a bundle of gold and silver at his feet and tossed it over: "As for these stolen goods, since County Captain Tian intends to gather them for the state, Mr. Zhou won’t take a single coin. I merely ask for my family home to be safe, that is all."
Amidst his words, in the presence of everyone, he also gave Tian Shouyi some face.
To avoid him truly not being able to step down from his position.
Although it was like tearing off half the face, on the surface, there was still a need to maintain some decorum.
