Chapter 887

First Volume, Chapter 887: Who stands below? State your name!

Chen Biao could barely contain his excitement, pointing at Li Xiaolan: "My Lord, this commoner demands this woman—she caused my comrade to be injured by a coachman, and she condoned her servants beating people; her crimes are grave. Let her work to repay her debt—that's only fair."

Seeing Chen Biao come to take her, Li Xiaolan showed no fear, only a pitiful, sorrowful smile on her face.

Feeling Li Xiaolan's smile, Chen Biao secretly gloated: Smile now—wait till you're on my bed, and see if you can still laugh!

At that moment, Qin Feng said coldly: "Her? That won't do."

Chen Biao immediately realized Qin Feng might also want this woman—after all, all men under heaven are the same—so he quickly shifted his target, pointing at Shen Qingci.

"My Lord, this one will do too."

Qin Feng still shook his head: "This one won't do either."

Chen Biao cursed inwardly—this bastard Qin Feng wanted to monopolize these two proud, untamable noblewomen—but fortunately, those two maids were also stunningly beautiful, and Shu Feng had struck someone; Chen Biao resolved silently to give that violent maid a proper "lesson" when he returned.

"My Lord, surely this one will do?"

Thud…

While Chen Biao and Qin Feng haggled, Chen Tian lost his balance and fell off his chair; beside him, Zhou Bantou's legs trembled violently as he shuffled over to help Chen Tian up.

Chen Biao's entire attention was fixed on the four women—he had no time to care for Chen Tian or Zhou Bantou, eagerly awaiting Qin Feng's order.

Qin Feng crossed his arms, wearing a deeply meaningful smile as he looked down upon Chen Biao from above.

"Master Chen, to be frank, you cannot take any of these four women."

Qin Feng ignored Chen Biao's disappointed expression and smiled warmly at the four women: "Oh dear, I've forgotten the most important thing—clearly, being a County Magistrate isn't something anyone can do."

"Defendant, state your name!"

Li Xiaolan stood tall and proud before Chen Biao, lips unmoving, yet her commanding voice echoed throughout the DaTang.

"I am the third daughter of the Qin Family, Da Liang Ming Yue Princess, Jin Yi Wei Commander, and the third sister of Lord of the Northern Border Qin Feng."

When Li Xiaolan's voice faded, the entire County Yamen, inside and out, fell into deathly silence.

Chen Biao stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Li Xiaolan, his mind utterly empty.

Chen Tian and Zhou Bantou, though they had known this woman was Qin Feng's Jia Guan, had never imagined her status was so immense!

Mingyue Princess?! Jin Yi Wei Commander?! Qin Feng's third sister?!

Good heavens!

This constellation of titles made Chen Tian and Zhou Bantou's legs go weak—this was no ordinary female relative!

All the Yamen Runners turned pale, their hands gripping the Water and Fire Ruthless Rod trembling violently.

At that moment, Liu Ming stepped through the curtain, and under the stunned gaze of everyone, knelt on one knee before Li Xiaolan, bowing deeply.

"Anwu Guard Captain Liu Ming, pays homage to the Commander!"

Simultaneously, a rapid drum of footsteps approached from outside the County Yamen, and even the roof echoed with the crunch of stepped tiles.

In the blink of an eye, the courtyard was filled with kneeling figures—Jin Yi Wei, Anwu Guard, messengers, and Tianji Camp Guards—over a hundred men.

All shouted in unison.

"Pays homage to the Commander!"

The deafening roar shook the very souls of those present.

Chen Biao had never heard of the Jin Yi Wei, but he understood he had shattered the heavens.

Chen Tian, meanwhile, sat on pins and needles, his chest tightening from sheer terror.

This woman… was… the Jin Yi Wei Commander—the one who held absolute power over life and death!

In other words, this woman held in her grasp the most fearsome dagger under Heaven and Earth!

This reckless Chen Biao had not only extorted Li Xiaolan—he had dared to try to drag away this terrifying woman?!

At that moment, another voice spoke—Shen Qingci.

"I am Shen Qingci, eldest daughter of the Qin Family, Financial Supervisor of Beixi County, and the elder sister of Lord of the Northern Border Qin Feng."

The hall fell silent once more.

Qin Feng's elder sister Shen Qingci… Financial Supervisor of Beixi County…

Who in Heaven and Earth didn't know how wealthy Beixi County was? A county with annual tax revenue exceeding a million taels of silver—and all fiscal authority rested in Shen Qingci's hands; she was effectively the Minister of Revenue of a nation!

Even Qin Feng needed to ask Shen Qingci for funds before launching a war.

At this moment, Xiao Xiangxiang and Shu Feng also smiled and introduced themselves.

"This maid is the personal attendant of the Mingyue Princess, and also the young master's Tieshen Yuhuan."

The young master? Naturally, Qin Feng.

Tieshen Yuhuan?

Chen Tian, overcome with shock, stood up and cried out: "You… you're the maid called Xiao Xiangxiang? The one for whom Qin Feng slaughtered countless Northern Di people to avenge you?"

Xiao Xiangxiang looked astonished—she never imagined a lowly maid like herself would be so famous, even known among the Northern Di.

Her cheeks flushed red as she nodded softly, bashfully: "Mm… my young master is fiercely protective—I never thought he'd kill so many for me…"

As the saying goes: palace maids and mansion maids are absolute beings not to be trifled with.

Who knows whether these maids have ties with royal nobles?

Clearly, Xiao Xiangxiang wasn't just close to Qin Feng—she was his future Concubine!

This fool Chen Biao had truly pierced the heavens—he dared to covet Qin Feng's sisters and Concubine! This wasn't just asking for death—death itself would be mercy for Chen Biao.

Thud… thud…

One after another, Chen Biao and his three companions collapsed to the ground, eyes dazed and lost.

They simply could not fathom how they had angered Qin Feng's women—let alone tried to drag them away right before Qin Feng's eyes!

Zhang Dahu, who had always ruled with Hengxing Badou, knew he was dead and burst into wailing sobs.

Wang Gang was so terrified his legs shook violently—he urinated himself on the spot.

Chen Biao stared blankly at Qin Feng, only to find Qin Feng's face still wearing a smile—but that smile sent chills down his spine, stealing seven of his three souls.

"Master Chen, you probably don't know that Xiao Xiangxiang and Shu Feng are my future concubines."

"As for Elder Sister and Third Sister, they have no blood tie to me—they will both become my wives."

At these words, the four women all blushed crimson; they had never imagined Qin Feng would say such a thing in public—it was utterly mortifying.

Qin Feng didn't care about their embarrassment; he continued speaking as if alone: "Fifteen hundred taels of silver? Not much—I'll pay off my women's debt myself."

With those words, Ning Hu tossed a sack of silver directly onto Chen Biao's feet.

Clatter-clatter—the sound of silver coins rolling sent Chen Biao nearly to his death from fright.

Qin Feng's smile slowly faded: "Now, let's talk about your attempt to lay hands on my women."
