After a brief period of astonishment, Guo Huai became furious!
Blanch!
In our Shansang County, who doesn’t know the famous name of the Guo family? Who doesn’t know about our Guo Mansion?
It has always been our family, Lao Guo, who bullies men, dominates women, and is aggressive and provocative. When will it be the turn of outsiders to block the door of our family?
shame! Shame!
Moreover, today is a big day when more than ten wealthy families from four counties form a blood alliance and agree to advance and retreat together in the future. The dozens of people present just now were feasting happily and in high spirits... but they were shown such a big joke.
This is too embarrassing!
I'm so embarrassed!
In the public eye today, if we don't deal with the emergency, how will the Guo family look at people with their nostrils in the future?
Bengbu is hot!
Guo Huai narrowed his eyes slightly to hide the rage in his heart. At this moment, he had made up his mind - no matter who came, he must establish his authority in public! Otherwise, it will damage the reputation of the Guo family!
"Xiu'er!" Guo Huai looked at Guo Xiu who was standing aside.
Guo Xiu's face turned red, and he also felt ashamed. He immediately stood up and said, "My child is here, what are your orders from father?"
"Go to the gate and see who is so ignorant that he dares to act wild in my Guo Mansion?" Guo Huailan said coldly: "No matter who it is, let him know where Guo Mansion is!"
Where is Guo Mansion?
That is the leading wealthy family in the entire land hundreds of miles north of Huai River!
It was a clan that had produced several capable ministers and ancestors who once held great power in the Chu Kingdom.
That is the overlord of Shansang County! The uncrowned king.
To paraphrase the late Han Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty, our old Guo family can be regarded as a 'gentry', a real overlord.
Who dares to make a mistake here?
Especially today, an important day...it's like shitting on Guo Huai's head.
Guo Xiu took the order: "My child understands!"
Afterwards, Guo Xiu angrily ordered dozens of evil servants, all holding weapons in their hands, and headed straight for the main entrance.
Guo Xiu had already made up his mind - no matter who came, even if it was the county governor, he would have to leave an arm and a leg today!
Even in ordinary times, Guo Xiu is a domineering person - today the entire Guo family is standing behind him, and his father, the patriarch Guo Huai, endorses him, so what should he be afraid of?
…
At the gate of Guo Mansion.
A dozen government servants surrounded the main entrance of Guo Mansion, holding the arrest approval document written by Qu Yuan in their hands, feeling uneasy.
After all, this is the Guo Mansion, and daring to block the door of the Guo Mansion was something that was unthinkable before.
At the door, dozens of servants of the Guo Mansion were holding sticks, glaring angrily at those who dared to come to pick a fight, and gearing up their fists - that is to say, these people were from the Marquis of Quyang. If they were ordinary people, they would have swarmed them and beat them until they could no longer live. Take care of yourself.
But all the servants know that this matter cannot be solved!
The head of the family is hosting a banquet for guests.
But people from the government came to arrest people.
Nonsense, if they really let them take the person away, where would the Guo family's face be?
Just waiting for the master's family to give the order, all the servants and servants will attack with sticks and beat these idiots who come to pick a fight to death!
When everyone was confronting each other, Guo Xiu finally strode out with an angry look on his face. Behind him were dozens of servants, some of whom were holding sticks, and some of whom were holding bright swords.
The guards at the gate had never seen this formation before, and all of them were sweating.
Guo Xiu said coldly: "What's going on?"
"Reporting back to the Young Patriarch - these people said they were ordered by Quyang Yin Quyuan to arrest corrupt officials according to some 'corruption investigation order'... We waited for them to stop them, but they tried to break in!"
Guo Xiu sneered: "Force it?"
"Don't even look at where this place is!"
"The 'Tingli' in the court is my biological uncle!"
"You actually dare to come and seize someone? How outrageous! Not to mention you, even Qu Yuan... even if Quyang Hou Xiong Liang comes in person, he still has to talk to me, the Guo clan, politely!"
"Each person breaks an arm and a leg!"
"I'll give you, my fellow disciples, a long memory!"
"Let Xiong Wuliang know that he can provoke others, but it is impossible to provoke me, Guo!"
The morale of Guo's evil servants was greatly boosted, they cheered and felt very strong.
The evil servants hold the weapons and swarm forward!
…
"What?" Xiong Wuliang was enjoying Xiaoyi's fan leisurely when he suddenly received news from Qu Yuan and was immediately furious!
Qu Yuan had substantial evidence in his hands, so he sent out official envoys to arrest people from various ethnic groups.
As a result, all the clans were united and ignored the government offices' requests for help. Even the clans with small families seemed to have a backer overnight and were very tough on tolerance.
Among them, the Shansang Guo family was especially troubled - they openly sent out their evil slaves to beat up the servants... This was simply outrageous!
If this kind of thing were done in those unified dynasties, it would be tantamount to rebellion!
Even if it was placed in the Warring States Period...that is, the Chu State's bureaucracy was bloated and weak, which could make such a joke happen. If it was placed in the Qin State, which big family would dare to openly confront the government?
Xiong Wuliang was furious: "How outrageous!"
Fortunately, the servants were quick on their feet and immediately threw their things and ran away, so there were no casualties.
However, all the 'water and fire sticks' in their hands were seized by the people of the Guo Mansion, and together with the 'arrest warrant' signed by Qu Yuan himself, they were hung at the main entrance of the Guo Mansion - seeming to show the majesty of the Guo Mansion. Inviolable.
presumptuous! Too unbridled and spicy!
Si Yi didn't know what happened. Looking at Xiong Wuliang's livid face, she didn't dare to move the fan in her hand. She was too scared to speak.
Xiong Wuliang glanced at Si Yi and realized that he had scared her, so he softened his tone slightly, but his face was still ugly: "Xiao Hei."
"exist!"
"Submonish Zhong Hua - summon a military camp to surround Guo Mansion."
"promise!"
Xiong Wuliang looked up at the sky again, seeming to be saying to himself: "Go and check - what support do those small clans have? Why are they so arrogant?"
There was no movement in the courtyard, only the rustling of leaves. It seemed that no one heard what Xiong Wuliang said just now.
But Xiong Wuliang knew that the Qingyu Guards had been ordered to dispatch at this moment.
Xiong Wuliang sneered and narrowed his eyes slightly - How dare a mere Guo family be so presumptuous?
Even if it is the 'Zhao family' that ranks high in the entire Chu State, labor and management are still trying to get rid of it. How dare you, a little Shansang Guo family?
Could it be that labor and management really have a good reputation in the fiefdom? Let these clans think that they are easy to talk to? Easy to bully?
The fraud investigation order has been issued and cannot be changed; now it is more about the majesty of Quyanghou Mansion and there is no room for any retreat.
Xiong Wuliang tapped his fingers lightly, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
Within a moment, Xiao Hei appeared at the door, cupped his hands and said: "Master, the personal army camp has been assembled and can be dispatched at any time."
Xiong Wuliang opened his eyes: "Send the order - the personal barracks will immediately move in to quell the chaos!"
"Prepare a car, I want to go to Shansang County in person."
