Just as the bearer and matchmaker stepped forward to push her, the bride, who was being controlled, shook her head violently.
brush!
The red hijab on his head fell directly to the ground, and everyone present suddenly heard bursts of exclamation.
They all admired the beauty of the two brides. Although their mouths were bound with cloth strips, they gave people a feeling of pity and made them want to take them into their arms and comfort them.
The matchmaker's expression changed greatly, and she quickly picked up the red hijab on the ground, and then put it on the heads of the two brides.
While covering it, he shouted at the people who were screaming, "What are you looking at? I'm going to dig out your eyes."
The onlookers lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look too presumptuously. It was indeed not a good sign for the groom to be looked at by unimportant people like them before the bride and groom were seen off.
Moreover, the person getting married today is from that family, and they are not someone they can offend.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, the matchmaker covered the bride's head with two pieces of red cloth.
It took a long time to control the struggling bride. Just as the bride was being sent into the sedan chair, the bride-to-be team was about to leave.
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded. "Wait a minute, stop!"
The person who spoke was none other than Xie Cang.
The moment the red cloth hijabs of the two brides fell down, Xie Cang clearly felt that Su Qi'an's mood in the car had changed a lot.
At Su Qian'an's signal, Xie Cang stopped the bride-to-be team.
All of a sudden, Su Yong stood behind Xie Cang with more than a dozen guards, with a posture that seemed to rob someone if they disagreed.
The matchmaker was startled. She was also quite discerning. Xie Cang and the dozen or so people were not scary, they were just guards.
What was truly terrifying were the people sitting in two carriages on the side, protected by hundreds of soldiers.
Anyone who can dispatch soldiers from the county government in Hanzhong County must have a good background.
Even if the matchmaker is using her power to bully others, she still has to take her time. The matchmaker quickly adjusted herself and said with a smile.
"I dare to ask which family in Hanzhong County this uncle belongs to. We are just a wedding party and we don't have much grudges with you. I don't know what the uncle has to do to force us to stop waiting."
"We are just people who do things. We can't be the masters of anything. Today is a happy day for the Shen family in Hanzhong. I hope you can give Mr. Shen some face. If you don't wait for Mr. Shen to come, you are doing your best. How about negotiation?"
This matchmaker spoke in a flawless manner. She first cleaned herself up, as she could not make the decision, and then she supported the master behind her, hoping that Xie Cang would think twice before he acted.
Xie Cang still had some impressions of the Shen family. He heard that it was the largest family in Hanzhong County and that its fortune in the early years was based on grain.
It is said that about half of the grain trading in Hanzhong County is owned by the Shen family.
As the old saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. Mastering this thing is no different from controlling the lives of the people.
I just heard that the Shen family has a high reputation in the local area. Every year during the famine, they open warehouses to provide food relief and set up porridge sheds to help the people. They are a well-known philanthropic family in the local area.
This is why, when they heard that the Shen family was getting married, the people who were watching all opened their mouths to wish it well, and the reputation was pretty good.
In normal times, facing such a noble family, Xie Cang would definitely not do such a thing to block the way.
But just now, after Su Yong whispered to him some past events, he finally understood why Su Qi'an's mood had changed so much.
These two brides are not ordinary people, they are two old friends of Su Qi'an.
It was the two girls Bai Yue and Hong Zhao who once competed with Lu Xiaowan for the top spot in the top spot in Sichuan County.
Xie Cang had heard of these two famous top names in Sichuandu County, but he didn't have the chance to meet them. But when he met them today, they were qualified to be top names.
I just didn't expect that these two famous figures in Sichuandu County would go to Hanzhong County in the north and get married without telling them.
If both parties were in love with each other, Su Qi'an wouldn't have such big mood swings.
After the red hijab fell off his head, Xie Cang looked around and saw some clues.
Although the two girls Bai Yue and Hong Zhao looked very gorgeous with heavy makeup, Xie Cang was a military commander.
Under the heavy makeup, one could see that there were a few light bruises on their faces, which looked like they had been beaten.
Moreover, their mouths were tied with cloth strips, making the two unable to speak. Any normal person would be able to tell at a glance that there was something wrong with this marriage.
But no one in the crowd questioned it. Instead, they all defended the Shen family. The information revealed behind this was really weird.
Xie Cang's eyes flashed, he looked at Su Qi'an in the carriage, and nodded slightly.
Then he said in a cold voice, "Humph, Shen family? Uncle, I don't know what nonsense the Shen family is. You're right. I have no grudges between you and I. I just want to see you unhappy. It's too public."
"I don't have any other purpose today. I have only one purpose: to intercept the marriage. If you are wise enough to get out of the way, I will hit you and get out of the way."
Xie Cang's words were blunt and vulgar, which the matchmaker did not expect. Instead of being a family guard, they were just a group of bandits.
The matchmaker's eyes flashed, and she was about to continue talking, but Xie Cang had no intention of arguing with her, and suddenly swung the riding crop in his hand.
There were sounds in the air, "Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you three breaths. If you don't want to be beaten, get out of here, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Being threatened by Xie Cang, coupled with the fierce aura they exuded, the eyes of these bearers flashed, and finally they were afraid of Xie Cang's strength, and they turned around and fled in all directions.
The matchmaker was left standing there. Looking at the motionless matchmaker, Xie Cang sneered, "What, matchmaker, do you want to be beaten? Are you so brave?"
The matchmaker's face changed, she shook her head, gritted her teeth and said word by word, "We are useless in today's matter, but I am just a worker. Since you are so bold and dare to intercept the marriage in public, you must not be an unknown person. Please tell me your identity so that I can deal with Mr. Shen when I go back."
Xie Cang nodded and said, "Humph, I didn't expect a matchmaker to be so loyal and conscientious. Since you asked, I don't hide it anymore. If you want to find us, just go to the county government. The uncle is at the county government office." Waiting for you."
"The words have been said, you can get out."
The matchmaker nodded, then turned and left.
Wu Chuan, who was sitting in the car, looked confused at this scene. He never imagined that Lingdong Marquis would put the responsibility on himself.
Forget about snatching the bride, but leaving the matter to him, this is not going to cause him a big trouble.
When Xie Cang opened his mouth, Wu Chuan wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Su Qi'an.
This is why the guards under his command never took action from beginning to end. Without his order, how could these soldiers take action? They might have thought it was their acquiescence.
Who knew that the Marquis of Lingdong would make such a big fuss, and that it would be difficult for him to deal with the Marquis of Dongshan. I didn't expect that this seemingly calm Marquis of Lingdong would cause such a big thing.
Wu Chuan raised his hand to Su Qi'an and said quickly, "Master Hou, what are you doing? Why are you robbing the bride? If the Marquis falls in love with the two brides, I will personally come forward to talk to the Shen family, but This matter is going too far now, how will it end now?"
There was obviously a hint of complaint in Wu Chuan's words. Su Qi'an turned her head and looked at him with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Wu really has a good memory. I didn't know which family this person was getting married to before. It's only been a while now, but I immediately know which family it is. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I admire this memory so much."
"Furthermore, Master Wu seems to be very afraid of the Shen family. If you don't know, you might think that the Hanzhong County Sheriff is the Shen family."
Wu Chuan, who had a bit of complaint on his face just now, changed his expression and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He quickly explained to Su Qi'an, "The Marquis...the Marquis has misunderstood, and the official doesn't know which family the bride is from. But Lingdong Marquis just made the matter bigger. I only found out which family it was by watching the people's discussion."
"As for being afraid of the Shen family, how is that possible? After all, I am a county guard. If I can't even suppress the local aristocratic family, wouldn't my service as a county guard for so many years be in vain."
"What I said just now is that I am wrong and I am anxious, but I am really looking for you, Lord Marquis. What Lingdong Marquis has done is indeed a bit too much. I am afraid that it will arouse public anger and damage the Marquis. It’s your reputation.”
The smile on Su Qian's face did not diminish even a little bit, and she nodded thoughtfully. "Oh, so that's it. Mr. Wu has his heart."
"But it has already happened. There is no point in pursuing the responsibility. Anyway, the words have been spoken. I am free now, so I am not in a hurry to leave."
"We are at the county government office, waiting for the arrival of Mr. Shen of Hanzhong County. I am still very interested in meeting this prestigious Mr. Shen."
"Perhaps, after meeting once and reconciling the two sides, we can still become friends, don't you think so, Mr. Wu?"
Su Qi'an had a smile on her face, but in Wu Chuan's eyes, the more he looked at it, the more horrified he became.
He wanted to open his mouth to refute, but under Su Qian's gaze, he couldn't speak for a while.
At this time, Su Qian'an's voice sounded again, "Okay, Sir Wu, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, Brother Xie has a sense of proportion. Let him handle this matter. I guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with you, Sir. "
"By the way, I still want to remind you, Mr. Wu, that the most annoying thing about me is to deceive superiors and deceive others. I am self-righteous. If I can seize the opportunity and explain it properly, I will give someone to make up for it. Chance."
"But if you are found out for being a stubborn duck, by then it will be too late to say anything."
Wu Chuan nodded blankly and quickly said yes, feeling like he was in a trance.
After a while, Su Qian patted Wu Chuan on the shoulder, and Wu Chuan suddenly came back to his senses.
"Haha, I think Mr. Wu is definitely not this kind of person. Mr. Wu, don't be nervous. I just want to pass on some experience to Mr. Wu."
"Master Wu, please put your heart in your stomach and enjoy a good show next."
"Thank you brother, let's go!"
