Diverting Trouble

Lin Suisui had always known that Pei Qian had always harbored great malice towards her and Lu Ze. This malice had started from the first time they interacted at the city gate.

However, she didn’t expect that this person would continue to scheme against them!

His question sounded innocent, but on second thought, it was a trap!

Many of the surrounding refugees had heard the conversation between the two of them. If she were to directly confirm that she wanted him to punish them now, in the eyes of many people, she would seem ruthless!

After all, she and Lu Ze were fine. On the other hand, those who came to cause trouble were already missing an arm and a leg. Moreover, their families had died at Lu Ze’s hands previously. Now, they had done such a thing because of kinship…

By being generous, not only wouldn’t they suffer losses, but they could also obtain a good reputation. Who didn’t know how to act benevolent?!

But if she really went against her conscience and pleaded for mercy for those families…

Before Lin Suisui could say anything, she felt disgusted.

She was silent for a moment before meeting Pei Qian’s mischievous gaze. She replied very respectfully and politely, “It’s naturally up to you, sir.”

“I’m just a village woman who hasn’t seen much of the world. How would I dare to spout nonsense and intervene in this sort of thing?”

She pushed the responsibility to him discreetly.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ze had walked over and stood beside Lin Suisui. Like every time, he greeted Pei Qian.

Pei Qian sized up Lu Ze and then glanced at the pile of troublemakers on the ground behind him. He had a new understanding of this man who called himself a hunter.

“I was just asking your wife how to deal with these people when you came back.”

However, she said that she was inexperienced and didn’t know how to make the decision. Since you’re the head of your family, what do you think?!

Should we spare the lives of these people who have already been taught a lesson, or should we follow the rules and execute them directly?!”

It was impossible for Pei Qian to feel any pity for these people!

He just wanted to add to the drama.

Not only did he want to see the half-dead refugees crying as they waited for death, but he also wanted to see the man in front of him in a dilemma.

Unfortunately, he still didn’t see any additional expression on Lu Ze’s face.

The hunter in front of him used a calm tone to push the problem back to him. “I’m just a hunter. I’ve been in the forest all day long. I’ve never encountered such a thing. I’ll leave it to you to decide!”

Pei Qian wasn’t surprised to receive this feedback.

Therefore, he didn’t pay attention to the couple in front of him anymore. Instead, he turned to look at the men on the ground. “Do you want to live?”

After seeing the group of people on the ground kowtowing and begging, the man continued happily, “This time, you guys broke the rules by threatening the couple. In that case, if you guys can get the forgiveness of this couple, I can let you guys live.”

As soon as Pei Qian said this, not only did the group of refugees on the ground start to lean over and wail, but even the surrounding refugees began to sympathize with the people on the ground and persuade them to be magnanimous and kind, just as Lin Suisui had expected. It was as if they would be committing a heinous crime if they didn’t agree now!

But why?!

Lin Suisui felt anger surge from the bottom of her heart. She raised her head slightly and looked at Pei Qian, who wasn’t far away. Suddenly, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing dimples. “Sir, actually, it’s really not important whether we forgive them or not.”

After all, my husband is a capable person. After this lesson, they definitely wouldn’t come looking for trouble with us in the future. Moreover, even if they want to find trouble, with my husband around, I’m not afraid.

“If they can promise not to cause trouble for the others in the camp in the future and act according to the rules you previously set, then we won’t make things difficult for them.”

The young lady’s gentle tone was pleasing to the ear. However, on second thought, some smart onlookers couldn’t laugh anymore.

These people were not really first offenders. When their families were still alive, they had often bullied men and women in the camp!

Although they looked extremely pitiful now, wasn’t there an old saying that leopards couldn’t change their spots?!

If these people recovered in the future and used the same trick again, who would be the ones to be harmed?! It definitely wouldn’t be the couple who made them suffer this time!

Thinking of this, many of the refugees who had been sympathizing with the people on the ground suddenly changed their attitude and began to shout indignantly at the side, asking Pei Qian to enforce the rules against these people and not let them get away with it!

One would never feel pain until the fire landed on their feet. Therefore, with someone taking the lead, naturally, there would be others who would agree with them. With the commotion and protests from others, Lin Suisui and Lu Ze’s opinions seemed especially unimportant at this moment.

Pei Qian glanced at Lin Suisui meaningfully. Seeing that there was no point in doing anything now, he didn’t delay any longer. Instead, he glanced at Qian He. “Get rid of them.”

After that, he planned to leave.

However, this time, Lu Ze stopped him. “Sir, I was lucky to enter the mountains today and hunted a lot of prey. If you don’t mind, these two hares can be considered a gift for taking care of us refugees these past few days.”

Pei Qian turned around and looked at the two hares in Lu Ze’s hands. After a long time, he smiled. “Not bad, you’re smart!”

Without refusing, he turned and strode away.

The servant following behind was also smart. He took the two hares from Lu Ze and left with his master without looking back!

After sending off this group of people, Lu Ze turned to thank Mrs. Luo and her family, who were looking at them worriedly. Then, he said, “Thank you for your help today. Arrange for everyone to make a meal and add another dish to dinner.”

Seeing how generous Lu Ze was, even if the surrounding people had previously criticized him for being ruthless to those people, they only had good things to say now. For a moment, the entire camp was harmonious again, as if the commotion just now had never happened.
