Chapter 297: A Warning

"Ah--" Boss Huang didn't expect Ying Zhilin to suddenly attack. He screamed and felt a heat on his forehead, and blood immediately gushed out.

Just then, Uncle Kang and others rushed into the yard.

Uncle Kang stepped forward and grabbed Ying Zhilin: "Don't forget your current status. Leave these matters to us. Go take care of your grandmother."

He pushed Ying Zhilin away and rushed forward with others, wrestling with the people from Fulu Village.

No matter how many people come from Fulu Village, there are still more people than from Songshan Village.

In a short while, they had pinned down all the people in Fulu Village.

Everyone was beaten and had bruises on their faces.

Pei'er took the opportunity to sneak into the house, closed the box again, and with great effort, pushed it back under the bed.

Aunt Jiao pushed everyone aside and rushed in. Seeing Huang Lao Da lying on the ground, covered in blood, she screamed in fear: "Son, my son! Tell me who hit you. I will avenge you. I will make him pay with blood."

"Let me pay for my life with blood? Before that, you have to see if I will let you go!"

Ying Zhilin was really angry this time.

These people not only smashed his house, but also pushed down his grandmother.

He won't let it go easily.

"You...what do you mean? What do you want to do?" Aunt Jiao asked panicked.

Ying Zhilin has always been kind and easy to talk to.

It was the first time she saw him angry, and she was extremely panicked.

Ying Zhilin glanced at her and ignored her, which made Aunt Jiao even more flustered.

Just then.

A child of about thirteen or fourteen suddenly entered the yard.

He said excitedly: "People from other villages broke into the ancestral hall and knocked over many ancestral tablets."

"What! Our ancestors were bullied!"

How dare you break into the ancestral hall? What’s the difference between this and dancing on someone’s ancestral grave!

All the members of the Ying family present had bloodshot eyes and looked like they were ready to fight at any time.

The child waved his hands quickly and said, "Fortunately, we were well prepared and ambushed them in the ancestral hall in advance. We took the opportunity to capture them all.

As for the tablet..."

The child pouted: "A few ancestral tablets fell, but the others are fine..."

The tribesmen breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Aunt Jiao fiercely.

Then they tied the two groups together.

As soon as the officers from the yamen arrived, Ying Zhilin handed them over.

Destroying someone's ancestral hall can be a big or small matter, depending on the victim's wishes.

The Ying family’s attitude is clear: they will get to the bottom of this matter.

Although the crime was not serious and the punishment would not be severe, most of the young and middle-aged men of the Huang family in Fulu Village would have to spend a month in prison after being arrested.

If this news gets out, the reputation of the entire Fulu Village will be damaged.

They will become sinners of the whole village.

In order to avoid being the target of public criticism, Huang's father finally took on all the charges.

He was sentenced to three months in prison and a fine of twenty taels of silver.

The Huang family collected an even number and redeemed their sins with silver.

In this incident, the Huang family’s wealth accumulated over more than ten years was drained away, and they became penniless.

Even so, the people of Fulu Village still felt resentful towards the Huang family.

Aunt Jiao glared at Ying Zhilin resentfully: "Are you satisfied now?"

Ying Zhilin brushed off the nonexistent dust on his clothes and said, "This is just a warning. If you keep interfering in my family's affairs, it will be more than just a matter of losing money."

Ying Zhilin suddenly took a step closer, his eyes gloomy, and warned her in a voice only the two of them could hear, "When the time comes, I won't mind destroying your family and making you die a miserable death!"

Aunt Jiao had never seen him look so gloomy. She was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, her body shaking uncontrollably.

"What did you do to my mother!" Seeing his mother's fear, Boss Huang rushed towards Ying Zhilin with clenched fists.

Ying Zhilin kicked the man more than two meters away with a sweeping kick.

Aunt Jiao was frightened and hurriedly took Boss Huang and her clansmen away in disgrace.

In a woods not far from Ying's house, two men were riding on horseback.

One was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the other was dressed in tight clothes. They were obviously a master and a servant.

"Is this the grand celebration banquet you mentioned?" Huo Yaoxing glanced at his subordinates around him lightly.

Yesterday afternoon, my subordinates came to report that the celebration banquet for this top scholar was very lively and attracted many people.

He was originally disdainful, but was bored at home today, so he came over to see how lively the celebration banquet could be.

Unexpectedly, he actually watched a big show.

The subordinate immediately knelt down and apologized: "I have failed to perform my duties well, please punish me, Master."

Huo Yaoxing was delighted: "Then I will punish you by telling you to help our champion Ying Jieyuan publicize what happened today after you return to Beijing.

He abandoned his childhood sweetheart and married a girl from a wealthy family.

Once he gained power, he almost sent his aunt and her family, who had taken care of him for many years, to jail.

These gossips are enough for the people of Beijing to discuss after dinner for ten days or half a month."

Although these rumors will not cause any substantial harm to him, it is good that they can cause him trouble.

Suddenly.

Huo Yaoxing's face darkened again.

Wen Yan actually showed such protection and care for a peasant.

It had only been a short time since she broke off her engagement with me, and she was already doing it with another man...

Will she die without a man?

She is truly fickle and despicable.

Huo Yaoxing snorted in disgust, kicked the horse's belly, and rode away.

I am scratching my head. The prince has become more and more moody lately and difficult to serve.

After dealing with the Huang family's affairs, Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin first saw the guests off before returning home to clean up.

Kang Shu brought two guards with him and came to Wen Yan to apologize: "It was because we failed to protect them that those people took advantage of the situation and caused such a big trouble for our family."

"Don't blame you. I transferred you to the ancestral hall to help." Wen Yan not only did not punish them, but also rewarded them for returning in time to help Ying Zhilin.

At the pigment workshop, Wen Yan rewarded each of them with one or two taels of silver for their contribution in protecting the pigments, and he also went to the county town to ask a doctor to treat their injuries.

Pei'er reminded her: "Miss, didn't you ask Doctor Lin from Tonghetang to see the old lady?

Then I can ask Doctor Lin to see it together."

Wen Yan nodded: "Then wait for Doctor Lin..."

Before they could finish their words, Lixia came over to announce, "Miss, Doctor Lin is here."

Then, a medicine boy came in, supporting the white-haired and bearded doctor Lin.

Doctor Lin saw Wen Yan, glanced at the mess in the courtyard, tilted his head, snorted, and said, "I knew you were looking for me for no good reason."

"Doctor Lin, you are finally here. Of all the doctors in the capital, I trust your medical skills the most.

You are the only one who can cure my grandmother's illness." Wen Yan immediately went up to him with a smile, and helped him walk towards the east wing.

"Oh, you're such a smooth talker!" Doctor Lin squinted at her unhappily, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up.

However, after seeing the grandmother's expression, Doctor Lin immediately straightened his face and said, "Among the common doctors, I am the only one who can take good care of the old lady's health."

"Well?" Wen Yan was surprised. "Can my grandmother really recover her health?"

Doctor Lin glared at her, puffing out his beard. "Do you think my medicine is a magic pill? Can a 70-year-old woman walk briskly after taking it? At most, it will make her look like someone her own age."

"This is already very good." It is already very good if the elderly can reduce their physical pain.
