"Sir, it's not good!"
The followers brought by He Yan rushed into the lobby in a hurry.
"Starting yesterday afternoon, a story suddenly circulated in Ping'an County. Dahe Village was replaced by Qingyun Village, and Mr. He was replaced by Mr. Zhou... These unscrupulous people dared to openly discuss the imperial officials. This is because they are too long-term. Really? Sir, please let me go ahead and arrest all those storytellers and punish them severely!"
He Yan waved his hand: "If I mobilize the troops, these unscrupulous people might think that I have a guilty conscience. The incident in Dahe Village spread to the city in just one day, and I don't believe that no one is involved. Adding fuel to the flames..."
He touched his chin and thought for a while, "Oh, Sui Ruren, this woman is really interesting. Why, she wants to use these storytellers to give me a fatal blow? The He family is a century-old family, and how many storms have it suffered in the capital? Baptism is still as solid as a mountain, it’s ridiculous that this little rumor wants to knock me down.”
"Zhengchou has no reason to invite Sui Ruren here. No, she brought a reason herself." He Yan sneered, "She is unkind first, so don't blame me for being violent. Bring a few more people. From now on, We must invite this Suiru man who has been personally consecrated by the Holy One!"
"yes!"
The follower understood the meaning of this and took the order to do it immediately.
It was afternoon, the sun was good, and the temperature was very low in late winter and early spring. A large family was sitting in the yard basking in the sun.
Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Sun were also there, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting about some family gossip.
Originally talking about the children's marriage, Mrs. Sun suddenly said mysteriously: "Last night, Mr. He sent someone to the hut where Shagen and his family lived temporarily, as if they were looking for Shagen's wife. Fortunately, Shagen My daughter-in-law has returned to her parents’ home, otherwise something bad will definitely happen. When will Mr. He leave? Living here makes me extremely panicked. What should I do if he falls in love with me..."
Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes: "It's not dark yet, why are you daydreaming! Trouble comes from the mouth, so you should stay out of the official's business!"
Wen was also quite speechless. She glanced at Sun's protruding belly and said, "His third aunt, take good care of your baby. Don't think about what you have."
As he was talking, several figures suddenly appeared at the door.
The courtyard door of Cheng Wanwan's house was always open, so the four officials walked in and stood in front of Cheng Wanwan: "Mr. Sui Ru, our Lord invites you."
Cheng Wanwan put down the cabbage he was picking and said softly: "Don't you see I'm busy? I'll go back when I'm done."
"What our Lords are saying is that Sui Ruren please go there now." The officer had a tough attitude and said, "Sui Ruren, please go ahead."
Mrs. Sun was so shocked that she almost knocked over the vegetable basket in front of her, and her eyes almost popped out of her eyes. Could it be that Mr. He has fallen in love with his sister-in-law?
My sister-in-law is a ninth-grade child, so Master He is too bold!
Mrs. Zhao's eyes were also a little gloomy, and she stood in front of Cheng Wanwan calmly.
"It seems that Mr. Sui Ru was given a fine wine instead of a toast." The leading officer sneered, "Young man is also following orders. Please don't blame me, Mr. Sui Ru."
He pushed Old Mrs. Zhao away suddenly, raised his hand and grabbed Cheng Wanwan's right arm.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Mrs. Sun rushed over, "You, a little follower, dare to attack a ninth-grade Sui Ruren who has been personally conferred by the Holy Master. Are you tired of living? Let go, let go of my sister-in-law!"
Mrs. Sun couldn't open the plier-like hand, but was pushed hard by the official.
"Damn it, you dared to push me!"
Sun stood up and got up from the ground.
The moment she was about to get up, she received Cheng Wanwan's eyes.
After all, she had been following Cheng Wanwan for half a year, so she could barely understand this look.
She immediately fell down, holding her stomach and screaming: "My stomach hurts so much, my child... Is the child gone... Oh, I'm going to die, come and see, the official is beating me in the clear sky." Pregnant woman, kill my baby, help, help!”
As soon as Mrs. Sun called out, the busy men outside put down their work and rushed in.
Many of these people were in the patrol team. When they saw the scene in front of them, they immediately became angry and picked up the firewood in the yard: "Let go of Dashan Niang!"
The leading officer was also angry: "You bunch of unruly people, are you going to go against the government? Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!"
He suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist.
Cheng Wanwan was standing beside him, his blade scraped across Cheng Wanwan's arm, and she immediately flew out like a kite with its string broken.
"puff!"
She clutched her chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The blood was scarlet and spread on the bluestone floor.
"Da Shan Niang!"
"Sister-in-law Zhao!"
"It's just too much!"
A group of men copied the guy and surrounded the four officials.
The official was also shocked. He didn't attack Sui Ruren at all, nor did he push Sui Ruren away. Why did Sui Ruren vomit blood? Is his body so fragile?
Although he had Master He's support, he still felt a little panicked.
If Sui Ruren died like this, he would definitely not be able to eat and carry around!
"You bunch of unruly people, just wait for me!"
The officer took back his saber and left in a menacing manner.
The four sons who were busy outside rushed in.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Come quickly and ask for Dr. Zheng!"
Zhao Dashan picked Cheng Wanwan up in his arms, rushed into the house, and carefully placed him on the bed.
"Mother..." Zhao Sidan's eyes were filled with tears, "Mother, you must not die. Mother, please say something, I'm afraid..."
Cheng Wanwan coughed: "Close the door..."
Zhao Sanniu quickly closed the door.
After there were only four sons left in the house, Cheng Wanwan immediately sat up from the bed as if nothing happened. She took out a blood bag from her chest: "Didn't I kill a chicken at noon? The chicken blood that I just vomited on the ground was all there. Sidan, don’t laugh, cry, cry sadly, make everyone think I’m about to die..."
Zhao Sidan quickly suppressed his smile, the expression on his face was uglier than crying.
Many people gathered in the yard of Cheng Wanwan's house, and everyone looked filled with indignation.
"Since Mr. Nahe came, our Dahe Village has become smoky. It's so uncomfortable."
"Dashan Niang is a ninth-grade child, and she was beaten almost half of her life by one of Master He's followers. Then wouldn't it be even worse for us, the lower-class people, in the future?"
"Li Zheng was also sick with anger. He fell on the bed and couldn't get sick. I went to see Li Zheng in the morning and his face was as white as a dead man."
"Both Dashan Niang and Uncle Li Zheng have fallen, what can our village do..."
People are in panic, and everyone's heart is very uneasy.
After the officer returned, he reported Sui Ruren's injury: "That Sui Ruren has a stubborn character. She just didn't want to come over, and she didn't use force. She fell down inexplicably and vomited a mouthful of blood. I didn't know what she could do. I can't live... My lord, this Suiru man is very famous in the countryside. If this matter spreads, it will be very detrimental to you..."
He Yan knocked on the table and felt it was a pity.
He had always liked younger girls, and for the first time he was interested in a woman in her early thirties. He did not expect that Sui Ruren was in such poor health, and that a woman with poor health could not withstand his torment.
He put this thought aside and said in a cold voice: "Give these people something to do, so they won't talk about it casually. Let's go down and let Meishan recruit workers. As long as you are a strong man, you can sign up. It will cost you twenty cents a day." , settled on the same day!”
The official quickly posted the notice. There were many types of workers that needed to be recruited. The first important thing was to build roads, but also to build walls, offices, mines, and coal diggers... The first recruitment was for two hundred people.
But for a whole day after the notice was posted, no one came to sign up.
