2436 Blackmail
"Ho--" A gasping sound escaped from the painter's throat.

Then, the painter suddenly struggled to get up.

The firelight reflected in his eyes, clearly reflecting the fear of escaping death.

The painter retreated on his hands and knees as if running for his life.

His family members also broke away from the yamen's obstruction and rushed forward to hug him tightly.

Seeing such a scene, Yuan Bao and Pei Yu felt extremely heavy.

Almost, almost someone died because of the evil Buddha!
Yuan Bao glanced at Wei Chun, who was waiting in the distance, and motioned Wei Chun to bring her the money bag.

The money bag was full of money, with about five or sixty taels of silver in it.

Yuan Bao directly handed the entire money bag to the painter's family.

"Here is your reward and...compensation."

The moment the painter took the money bag with both hands, he was shocked by its heavy feel.

Without any regard for etiquette, he opened the money bag directly.

Seeing the white money inside, the family was surprised and happy.

"Not enough!" After the painter's mother took the silver away, she stood up and shouted greedily at Yuan Bao, "My son almost died, you want to use this little silver to just give it to us?"

Yuan Bao frowned, "Then what do you want."

"At least..." The painter's mother's eyes flickered, and it took her a while to finalize the amount in her mind, "At least give us another 100 taels of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the indignation of the people watching.

"Isn't he alive? Your son has been rescued, and yet he is still here, trying to extort money from others!"

"That's right, just for some money, I don't even give up my face."

"I don't even think about it. If people hadn't come all the way to our place to investigate this evil image, I don't know how many people in our village would have died because of this!" The painter's family looked a little embarrassed after being told this.

Mother frowned and scolded the dissatisfied people with her eyes wide open: "I want you to take care of it! It's not you who almost died. Of course it won't hurt your back if you stand and talk!"

After the people scolded her silently, she turned to look back at Yuan Bao, and stretched out her palm confidently, "Take the money! If you don't have 100 taels of silver, there is no fun in this matter today!"

"Presumptuous!" Wei Chun stood up from behind Yuan Bao and shouted with authority.

The painter's mother was so frightened by the sudden scolding that she shivered, but she quickly regained her composure and glanced at Wei Chun up and down.

He curled his lips with disdain, "Who do you think you are, a maid who waits for others, do you think it's your turn to yell at me? Besides, it's not your money, so why are you so anxious... Ouch! "

Wei Chun stepped forward quickly and kicked the old woman in the leg socket.

The old woman screamed and fell to her knees facing Yuan Bao.

Before the old woman could struggle, Wei Chun immediately put his hand on the back of the old woman's neck and forced her to lower her head to Yuan Bao.

"In front of Princess Protector, I kneel down and reply without being exempted from the princess' courtesy!"

What!This is actually the Princess Protector? !
The eyes of the people all moved to Yuan Bao, and they all looked at him in surprise.

They thought she was just the official's wife, but they didn't expect that she was the noble Princess Protector!
The painter's family was so panicked that they quickly knelt down towards Yuan Bao.

The old woman didn't need to be held hostage by Wei Chun, she took the initiative to put her forehead to the ground and beg Yuan Bao for mercy.

The distressed Yuan Bao took a deep breath and then winked at Wei Chun.

Wei Chun understood and scolded the old woman: "Get out of here!"

The old woman hurriedly crawled away on hands and feet, and finally, with the support of her son, grandson and others, she left the scene in panic with her legs weak.

In just a short time, the evil image burned out, leaving only a pile of black ash with no discernible clues.
