As Su Qi'an's voice came out from the carriage, Xie Cang took the lead in taking the lead with Su Yong and more than a dozen guards.
As for the two girls Bai Yue and Hong Zhao, when Su Yong passed by and said something, the two girls stiffened and looked at Su Qi'an's carriage from a distance with an expression of surprise.
Fortunately, the two of them had red hijabs on their heads, so the fluctuating emotions on their faces were not noticed.
Then he obediently walked into the sedan chair. The stunned soldiers beside him, under Xie Cang's scolding, a group of soldiers came out and acted as bearers.
The bridal sedan was lifted up, and under the stunned gaze of the onlookers, the two bridal sedans headed towards the county government.
When a large number of soldiers followed the sedan chair and gradually walked away, the people who were stunned on the spot suddenly burst into noisy discussions.
"I'll go, am I right? There was an interception in broad daylight. What's going on?"
"Yes, this person who is married seems to have a good background and can be escorted by the county and city soldiers. Do you think the person sitting in this carriage is the county..."
But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by the person next to him, and he glared at that person.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You want to die. Stay away from me. How could our Lord Wu do such a thing? You must know that the Lord and the Shen family are very good friends. How could he rob a bride? Even if he robs a bride, it is not possible. Maybe in broad daylight, are you stupid?"
The person who was reminded quickly nodded and asked again, "If it's not an adult, who could it be?"
"Humph, no matter who it is, if you dare to snatch a bride in Hanzhong County, the one you snatch is our Shen Dashan's bride. We have to stand up for Mr. Shen."
"That's right, we know the character of Young Master Shen and the Shen family. Today, Young Master Shen actually stole the bride's hand. This is also a slap in our face. Let's go to the county government office together. We want to see if you dare to cause trouble in Hanzhong County. Yes, who has such courage?"
"That's right, if you don't take this back, won't the men who bully us in Hanzhong County be cowards? They belong to men, so come with me."
I don't know who it was, but suddenly there was a slightly different voice in the crowd.
All of a sudden, the emotions of everyone present were aroused, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation. Those who didn't know the momentum thought that their daughter-in-law had been robbed.
With the leader's order, a large number of people gradually gathered on the street. Some were watching the excitement, some wanted to stand out, and some wanted to fish in troubled waters. Anyway, everyone had different thoughts.
But these thoughts came together, and a force was gathered invisibly, and a large number of people walked towards the county government.
Su Qi'an's motorcade and sedan chair were moving slowly, and soon the noise of the people gathered behind them followed.
Su Qi'an was very calm about the inexplicable gathering of crusade, as if he didn't hear it. He closed his eyes slightly and rested his mind.
Wuchuan, on the other hand, was sitting on pins and needles, looking left and right from time to time, his eyes constantly looking at the people who were gradually following him.
Later, there was actually a little bit of sweat on his forehead.
As time passed by, the front was getting closer and closer to the county government, and at the same time, there were more and more people in the rear.
That kind of momentum made him restless, and he was under inexplicable pressure.
At this moment, Su Qi'an, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, said softly, "Mr. Wu, we have reached this point, and you still want to grit your teeth and hold on? Have you planned to destroy the Shen family together?"
Su Qian's words were like the last straw that broke Wuchuan's mind.
His psychological defense collapsed instantly.
He kowtowed to Su Qi'an repeatedly, his pale face full of regret, and begged for mercy again and again.
"Master Hou, the official was confused for a moment and asked the master to give him a chance to make meritorious service. He was wrong."
"Tell me everything you know. If you hide anything, you know the consequences."
Hearing this, Wuchuan saved his life.
In his previous meeting with Su Qi'an and the escort all the way, he originally thought that with his many years of experience in officialdom, he should be able to hide this matter.
But it wasn't until he actually met Su Qi'an that he knew why this young Dongshan Marquis took Xizhou and killed Tang Feng.
Although he is young, his experience and wisdom are not inferior to those of the elderly Zhou Mu.
In front of him, as long as he takes a look, there will be a strong pressure.
That kind of pressure, the longer you spend time with him, the more you can understand how terrifying Dongshan Hou is.
In such a short period of time with Su Qi'an, Wuchuan's days seemed like years.
There was a cold and murderous look in his seemingly friendly smile.
This kind of murderous intention may not seem strong, but once it touches his bottom line, he will kill without a trace.
There was no room for maneuver, only death was waiting for him.
Fortunately, he finally relented at the last moment and his life was saved.
The carriage drove slowly, accompanied by bursts of noise behind it, and finally arrived at the county government office.
The noisy discussions gathered behind them suddenly became quiet. Their eyes were fixed on the stopped carriage in the middle.
There was expectation in his eyes, wanting to see who the owner of this carriage was, and who had the courage to rob the Shen family's relatives.
It's just their curiosity, but this time they are destined to be disappointed, as the gate of the county government opens.
The group of protective soldiers surrounded the stopped carriage.
Under the shocked eyes of the people, the two carriages were untied from their horses and carried into the county mansion one behind the other.
This move was something they didn't expect. The background and identity of someone who could be carried into the county mansion was far beyond their imagination.
It is estimated that most of them are high-ranking officials at the state level. Only high-ranking officials at the state level are eligible to be carried into the county government.
And those who can meet this condition can count as no more than one finger in Xizhou.
As for who it was, they couldn't figure it out for a while, and they didn't dare to figure it out.
Being able to occasionally discuss county officials in private carries great risks.
Anyone who dares to talk about state-level officials, no matter whether they are right or wrong, will be fined if caught.
Although they were unwilling to give up, the people watching had no intention of leaving. They stood outside the county government, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.
At this time, in the county mansion, after the carriage was carried in, Su Qi'an, Wuchuan, and Feng Zheng got out of the carriage.
Feng Zheng, who was sitting behind, also saw what happened along the way.
But he had no intention of intervening in these matters. He walked up to Su Qi'an, said something, and walked towards his rest room.
After all, Hanzhong County is the territory of Xizhou. No matter what happens within the territory, the solution is nothing more than the local county guards, Xue Muxiu, Luo Qingyuan, or Su Qi'an.
As for Feng Zheng himself, he was a famous close official around Su Xuanyong. The ultimate purpose of coming to Xizhou this time was to bring Su Qi'an back to Beijing for business.
What other things have to do with him? If he interferes, it will only degrade him.
Moreover, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang have both come forward to deal with this matter. If they can't deal with a county-level family, they won't even be qualified to return to the capital.
As Feng Zheng left, Wuchuan got off the carriage, knelt down towards Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, and begged Su Qi'an again for mercy. He was just confused for a moment and asked for forgiveness for his sins.
In the carriage, Wu Chuan basically told the ins and outs of the incident one by one.
What Xie Cang knows, and what the local people know, is that the Shen family in Hanzhong did make a fortune from the grain store in the early years and made a lot of money.
Although the family did not have a very famous master, they still had a high reputation in Hanzhong County due to their great kindness.
However, the so-called good people are all disguises of the Shen family.
Relying on this reputation, he was once able to control public opinion, even to the point of threatening Wuchuan.
Especially when Xue Muxiu persuaded him to surrender, the Shen family worked very hard and were the first to express their obedience. During the time when Xue Muxiu stayed in Hanzhong County, the Shen family was like a horse in front and behind the horse.
They were already quite prestigious, and with Xue Muxiu's affirmation, their prestige was even higher, to the point where even Wuchuan was afraid of them.
In order to keep his position as county guard, Wuchuan had no choice but to cooperate. Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, there was a close relationship between the county guard and the Shen family.
But the dirty things done behind the scenes by the Shen family are too numerous to describe.
On the surface, he is a kind man, selling food at low prices to provide relief to the victims, buying farmers who own land at high prices to keep them alive, and even adopting orphans who have fled here.
It would take three days and three nights to talk about these great things one by one. But in fact, the grains sold at low prices are all moldy and spoiled grains. Land owned by farmers is purchased at high prices and turned away. , within a few months, these farmers will die due to various mysterious reasons.
He adopted an orphan refugee and entered the Shen family, but never came out alive again.
But these are invisible to the people at the bottom of Hanzhong. Only Wuchuan knows about them.
The Shen family is accustomed to getting married like today. Everyone thinks that marrying into the Shen family means they will enjoy happiness and live a good life.
But privately, I don't know how many young girls entered the Shen family, but eventually got tired of Shen Chong's play and sold them into brothels.
It can be said that the Shen family is a cancer in Hanzhong County, and Shen Chong is a beast!
The reason why Wu Chuan hid it from Su Qi'an was because of Su Qi'an's safety.
The Shen family's power and prestige in Hanzhong was so great that even he, the county governor, was afraid.
Once Su Qi'an intervenes in this matter, Shen Chong will definitely control public opinion and threaten Su Qi'an.
Leaving Hanzhong County as early as possible is better than anything else. This is why Wuchuan wants Su Qi'an to leave Hanzhong County as soon as possible.
After hearing Wuchuan's narration, Xie Cang and Su Yong couldn't help but clench their palms.
If Su Qi'an hadn't stopped him, they would have beaten Wuchuan so hard that he wouldn't even recognize his parents.
"As a county guard, it's embarrassing for you to be suppressed like this by a local family." Xie Cang looked like he hated iron.
Wuchuan, who was kneeling on the ground, said nothing and did not dare to refute.
Su Qian'an looked indifferent and motioned for Wuchuan to get up. He said softly, "The occurrence of such a cancer in Hanzhong County is my fault, and I am also responsible."
"A small aristocratic family dares to manipulate public opinion and do such an animal thing. Hmm, it will be intolerable to God if the Shen family is not eliminated."
"Wuchuan, I will give you a chance. Do you dare to work with me to eradicate this cancer in Hanzhong and give the people of Hanzhong County a clear sky?"
Wu Chuan's face was excited, he knelt down again, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and said loudly.
"If my subordinates are willing, I will fight to the death, and I will definitely eradicate this poisonous tumor with the Marquis!"
