The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 273 Zhu Hanyan Pays Compensation

After the group came down the mountain, they arrived at the nearest town. Immediately, the Jinyiwei contacted He Anyu and asked him to go to a provincial capital in the west to carry out a mission.

So he said goodbye to Bai Zhaozhao and the others, and made an appointment to meet after returning to Beijing. Unexpectedly, Xie Xingmeng thought about it and decided to go with him, saying that it was convenient for him to go there.

However, before leaving, Xie Xingmeng was reluctant to let Bai Zhaozhao go and told her many things, as if she was not at ease leaving her to Zhu Hanyan and Zhao Lingxiao.

Finally, he took out a lot of banknotes and handed them to his two brothers with great pain: "You two must not cause trouble, spend money if it can be settled, and stay away from Zhao Zhao after you spend it!"

Bai Zhaozhao: ???

what does this mean?

"Fourth Brother, why don't you give me the money? I will protect them both!"

Xie Xingmeng was silent for a moment, and finally took out the few silver bills he had left and handed them to her: "Zhao Zhao, buy less flowers and herbs worth thousands of taels of silver, and don't try the researched pills yourself. You have secret guards now, so feel free to drug them!"

Bai Zhaozhao: ...

This is not good!

She looked back at the two "secret guards", only to see that they didn't care about Xie Xingmeng's words at all, and were contentedly putting the banknotes in their arms.

Bai Zhaozhao even felt that the two seemed very grateful to Xie Xingmeng!

Zhu Hanyan: "Old Fourth is finally generous for once, thank you very much!"

Zhao Lingxiao: "Well, thank you!"

Bai Zhaozhao: ...

After traveling for half a month, Bai Zhaozhao finally understood why they were grateful to Xie Xingmeng.

The first incident happened when the three of them were having dinner at the inn.

A big man with a face full of flesh suddenly strode up to the table.

He stared at Zhu Hanyan with a pair of big eyes like copper bells, and said loudly: "Boy, did you look down on me just now? Seeing how burly you are, I think you are a martial artist! Do you dare to fight with me?"

Zhu Hanyan put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the big man calmly with a paralyzed face: "I don't despise you, sir."

The big man sneered and slapped the table, causing the dishes and chopsticks on the table to jump up: "No? I've been in this city for so many years, and I've never seen a guy as arrogant as you! Today I'll show you who is the boss who is qualified to be arrogant!"

After saying that, the big man suddenly punched Zhu Hanyan. The three of them turned sideways at the same time and easily avoided the attack.

Zhu Hanyan moved as fast as the wind, and struck the big man in the chest with his backhand.

The big man only felt a huge force coming, and his whole body was as if struck by lightning. He staggered back a few steps, sat down on the ground, his face pale.

Just as miserable as it was were the tables and chairs in the inn.

After the big man hurried away, the shopkeeper immediately rushed out and said, "Sir, our tables and chairs are all made of top-grade pear wood. You need to pay ten taels of silver as compensation!"

Bai Zhaozhao was about to reason but was stopped by Zhao Lingxiao, while Zhu Hanyan obediently paid the money.

The second incident happened when the three of them were shopping for supplies.

A young man in brocade clothes came over and deliberately bumped into Zhu Hanyan. As a result, Zhu Hanyan staggered and accidentally knocked over a piece of porcelain on the stall next to him.

The porcelain fell to the ground and shattered, making a crisp sound.

The young man in brocade clothes, with a playful smile, loudly accused Zhu Hanyan of deliberately breaking things and demanded compensation.

This time Zhu Hanyan frowned slightly, still with a blank expression, and said, "You bumped into me!"

The brocade-robed young man retorted: "If you hadn't deliberately blocked my way, would I have bumped into you?"

Zhu Hanyan: "I don't have any."

"You have!"

At this moment, the stall owner suddenly collapsed to the ground, crying, "Oh my God! Can you spare my life? This is my ancestral porcelain! I am waiting to sell it to earn money to treat my child's illness!"

So Zhu Hanyan asked coldly: "How much?"

"Two... no, eight taels of silver!"

After taking out money again, Bai Zhaozhao looked at Zhao Lingxiao. Zhao Lingxiao nodded to show that it was normal and signaled Bai Zhaozhao not to worry about it.

The third accident happened when three people were passing through an alley.

A couple was arguing in front of the door, and many neighbors were watching.

"Why do you distrust me so much? I was just drinking with friends and reminiscing about the past, but you suspected that I had a new lover outside!"

"Trust? You always explain this way when you come home late, how can I not be suspicious? You keep saying that you are a friend, but does your friend come to see you every day? Doesn't he even have a wife? Who in the neighborhood doesn't gossip?"

"How can you be so stubborn? I've spent many years with you, and is that nothing more than that nonsense?"

"Nonsense? Well, call your friend over! Let everyone see if he is a warrior who is eight feet tall and can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

Bai Zhaozhao suddenly felt something was wrong, and sure enough, the woman then saw Zhu Hanyan.

"You? You are the one who takes my husband out for drinks every day! Look at my family, we are almost out of money because of you! Let's go see the official!"

Zhu Hanyan looked hesitant and looked at the man. The other party turned his head guiltily and stopped looking at him, as if he agreed!

Zhu Hanyan finally sighed, took out a few taels of silver and handed it to the woman: "Go buy some rice for the pot! If anyone wants to drink with him again in the future, it won't be me."

Things like this happened almost every now and then, and Zhu Hanyan's money was reduced little by little.

Finally, Bai Zhaozhao concluded: "So Second Senior Brother's calamity is that everyone he meets has paranoid delusions and is always looking for trouble?"

Zhao Lingxiao's cold face flashed with helplessness: "Yes, losing money to avoid disaster is the best. If he insists on his rights, then the next incident will be more serious and require more money to solve. Many times he has no money and can only resist, or even suppress with force. That's why people in the martial arts world say that he is vindictive and will quibble over even the smallest things."

"So, how do you make money, Second Brother?"

Zhu Hanyan continued to look expressionless, seemingly unwilling to answer this question.

It was Zhao Lingxiao who replied, "Of course we take on some Jianghu missions, but we spend more when we earn more, and the remaining money is barely enough to make ends meet. We are both orphans like Wang Jinnian, but we don't have the ability to be officials, so we don't have a fixed income."

Bai Zhaozhao suddenly realized: "So, Second Senior Brother, you really sacrificed a lot when you rejected Fourth Senior Brother's 30,000 taels of silver!"

Zhu Hanyan: "I can't keep you even if I don't refuse."

Bai Zhaozhao: ...

"Okay, what about you, Big Brother? It seems like you haven't had anything to do during this period of time!"

Zhao Lingxiao's face froze and he didn't answer.

Zhu Hanyan, who had an expressionless face, spoke up: "He is almost the same as Xie Xingmeng!"

Bai Zhaozhao was surprised: "Almost? Are you also popular with women?"

Zhu Hanyan: "No, it's to attract men."

Bai Zhaozhao:!!!

Zhu Hanyan continued, "So he likes to disguise himself and do some secret guard work. He only accepts employers over 40 years old. Not only does he earn little money, but he also has to buy new swords frequently."

Bai Zhaozhao: ...

"Xie Senior Brother is truly worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
