When the two parties who were still acting in front of Du Shichu's carriage saw that things did not develop as they expected, they immediately became anxious. The young master said anxiously and panic-strickenly: "Girl, you can't apply for an official position! You still have to take the exam for a junior high school diploma. Provoking an official is not good for your career!"
The arresters spoke harshly to Du Shichu: "You bitch, how dare you ask someone to report you to the official? Do you know who is behind us? You can't afford to offend me! Those who know the truth are wise. Let those people come back quickly, otherwise you don’t want to know what the consequences will be..."
"But I just want to know." Du Shichu said nonchalantly, and asked them, "By the way, who is the person behind you? Tell me, I also want to get to know him."
The villains were immediately choked and looked at each other. Naturally, they were not stupid enough to reveal the person behind them. They just wanted to threaten and intimidate Du Shichu.
Seeing that Du Shichu was still insisting on asking questions, the evil man in front of him started to bluff and said in a stern voice: "You are not qualified to know the adults behind us! In short, if you dare to go against us, then you must do a good job." Be mentally prepared to be retaliated against.”
"Okay, then I will wait for the revenge of the master behind you." Du Shichu smiled slightly and said to the young master, "Speaking of which, I still have some questions, why are you so afraid of reporting to the official? After all, if you really If you are innocent, you should most hope to report to the official. Don't fool me by telling me that you need to take the imperial examination. Provoking an official will hinder your career. Do you think that under the emperor's feet, there are officials in the capital who dare to take bribes, bend the law, and wrongly accuse good people? ?”
"No, no, Xiaosheng didn't think so. The adults in the capital are naturally honest, fair and law-abiding." The young man said hurriedly, fearing that he would be resented by the adults in the capital if he said anything later.
"Go and stop those people who reported the situation!" Seeing that Du Shichu was not afraid of Du Shichu's threat, the evil man immediately became anxious and quickly asked his men to stop the people who reported the situation.
However, it was already too late for them to stop them at this time. One tael of silver is already a big windfall for ordinary people. If they earned it by themselves, it would be difficult for them to earn one tael of silver in three or two months. But Nowadays, you can easily get it just by running errands and going to Jingzhao Mansion to apply for an official position. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Although it is said that only the first person to successfully report to the official can get it, but what if you are lucky? Who is willing to give up without giving up? Therefore, there were more than twenty people who ran to report to the police, and it was impossible for the two men of the evil man to stop everyone.
"You bitch! You're cruel! Be careful when you go out in the future!" The leading villain obviously knew that his people could not stop everyone from reporting to the police, so he hurriedly dropped these harsh words and wanted to take that person with him. The young man leaves.
"Did I ask you to leave?" Du Shichu sneered and said, "You can stop my carriage if you want to, and leave if you want to leave? Am I such an easy person to bully?"
"What do you want?" the villain asked with fierce eyes.
"Girl, you'd better not offend these evil people, just let them take me away, so as not to injure you..."
I don’t know if the young man got wise out of desperation, but he actually revised the script, using the two tactics of retreating and playing hard to get. If Du Shichu was just an ordinary boudoir woman and didn’t see through that they were in a group, now that he heard him If you say this, you will definitely feel guilty towards him, feeling that not only could you not save him, but you would have dragged him down to get caught.
It's a pity that Du Shichu saw from the beginning that this group of people were setting up a trap for her, so naturally she felt no guilt or mercy. She only said sarcastically: "If you didn't want to implicate me, you should have rushed to my carriage from the beginning. Let me make the decision for you, don’t you think it’s too late for you to say this now?”
The young man's face suddenly froze, and he could hardly maintain his apologetic and painful expression.
When the people around him heard Du Shichu's words, they finally regained some sense: "Yes, if this young master is really worried that this girl will provoke evil people, then he should not ask this girl for help in the first place."
"That's right, he's just saying this now, isn't it just an afterthought?"
"Hey, not only did you get yourself involved, but you also hurt innocent passers-by."
…
The young man's face twisted when he heard the words of the people around him, and he quickly lowered his head, fearing that others would see his true expression.
"Go, go! Get out of the way!" Several evil men drove away the people around them, trying to continue leaving.
"Tsk, tsk, you are in such a hurry to leave that you don't even wait for the officials. Do you think you have a guilty conscience?" Du Shichu spoke slowly again.
"Shut up! What does it have to do with you?!" The leading villain finally couldn't bear it anymore, his face turned red with anger, and he yelled at Du Shichu.
"It's really none of my business at first, but you insisted on involving me." Du Shichu said with an innocent expression.
Seeing that the officials were about to arrive, the villains were already extremely anxious. They yelled at Du Shichu angrily and wanted to rush away from the crowd. However, everyone was excited to see the excitement and wanted to see the officers and soldiers come to arrest him. Therefore, they intentionally or unintentionally prevented them from leaving, making their escape a lot more difficult.
"It's coming, it's coming! The people from the government are coming!" A witnessing lady saw the officers and soldiers coming from a distance and shouted excitedly.
Soon, a tall middle-aged man who was more than 30 years older ran over with sweat on his face, rushed to Du Shichu's carriage, and said breathlessly: "I, I am, I am the first, the first Someone who successfully reported it to the superior! That money is, is it mine?"
"It's yours." Du Shichu picked up the piece of silver and threw it into the man's arms. The man stretched out his hands and caught it quickly, then bit his teeth excitedly, "It's true! "
Everyone else looked at him with envy: "Old Liu has made a profit this time. For just one tael of silver, he has to go to the dock to carry sacks for a month!"
"Hey, he can run fast because of his long legs!"
"It would be great if there would be such a good job in the future. I would also like to compete for it."
The people who reported it to the police all ran back, and the villains became even more anxious. In the end, they were so angry that they didn't even care whether they would hurt ordinary people, and they immediately ran away trying to escape.
However, their move happened to be self-defeating. Originally, everyone just wanted to see a good show and stopped them. But now they went on a rampage and injured many people, which aroused public anger. Therefore, without Du Shichu's orders, those who were hit by them were He caught them angrily and insisted on making them apologize.
When the officials came, Du Shichu unceremoniously pointed out the people who wanted to plot against her. Because she was just passing by and was involved, so in the end this matter had nothing to do with her, so she knew it. Got away with a clean slate.
If you want to plot against her, huh, then go to jail for a few days first, Du Shichu sneered.
