Chapter 278 We all have backers

Pei Yuan quickly tidied up his clothes. Meeting a master, he had to be respectful.

Although Su Changhe said nothing, he was so cautious, so the people inside were definitely not simple.

Su Changhe asked several times at the door but got no answer, so he went in directly.

Su Changhe now knew what it meant to be truly penniless. All the furniture in the room was a bed made of wooden boards and two crooked stools, which seemed to be made by himself with waste materials from the construction site.

The mud was embedded on the stove, with only a half-broken pot and two broken bowls. There was black porridge in the pot, which was full of flies.

Pei Yuan almost vomited and whispered, "This Gao population is too heavy!"

Su Changhe ignored him and walked straight to the bedside, where an old woman with a haggard face and gray hair was lying.

The old woman's ears and eyesight were obviously not very good, so she didn't notice that someone had come to the house.

When Su Changhe approached, the old woman saw Su Changhe, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she made a terrified and resentful voice: "Give me back my daughter!"

Su Changhe shook his body, and the pillow fell squarely on Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan said angrily: "Su Changhe, I didn't expect you to be such a person. What kind of beastly thing have you done? I really didn't expect that you would be so kind."

In Pei Yuan's heart, he had already thought of Su Changhe as an extremely idiot.

Su Changhe rolled his eyes at Pei Yuan and quickly explained, "Granny Wu, don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person who would hurt your daughter. I'm here to help you!"

"Bah!" Granny Wu spat at Su Changhe without any hesitation. "I can't do anything to you while you're alive, and I won't let you go even if you die!"

Pei Yuan said with a sigh, "Su Changhe, you've hidden yourself too well. Look how angry this old woman is. I'm not saying that, but you can't do that. If you want a girl, tell me!"

"Shut up!" Su Changhe scolded, and then patiently said to the old woman, "Grandma, tell me who killed your daughter, and I'll get justice for you!"

The old woman stared at Su Changhe fiercely and said, "It's you young men in red and green who killed my girl, right? I'll kill you." After that, she rushed towards Su Changhe like crazy.

Unfortunately, she was already paralyzed on one side, and couldn't even reach Su Changhe. She was so tired that she lay on the bed and couldn't move.

At this moment, an old and angry voice came from behind: "I will fight you!"

Pei Yuan looked back and saw an old man in ragged clothes, holding a wooden stick, staggering towards them. Although the old man was weak, his expression was extremely fierce.

Pei Yuan grabbed Su Changhe and avoided him.

Pei Yuan looked at Su Changhe with some contempt and asked: "What did you do that these two want to fight you to death!" Su Changhe

obviously found that he could not communicate with this old woman Wu, and he still had to talk to old man Wu.

"Old man, don't hit me, it's me!" Su Changhe said, holding the wooden stick that the old man swung again.

The old man was obviously impressed by Su Changhe. Wasn't this the boy who almost made him lose his job?

Uncle Wu loosened his grip and said unhappily, "It's you. Why are you everywhere?"

Su Changhe consoled him, "Uncle Wu, don't be angry. I'm not a little rascal in your eyes. I came here to ask about your daughter!" The

old man's face immediately turned very ugly, and he said with tears in his eyes, "My wife and I have curled up in the gutter to make a living. Can't you let us go?"

Su Changhe knew that Uncle Wu must have thought that he was the same as those who bullied his daughter, so he was so wary of him.

He said patiently: "Uncle, you misunderstood. I just can't stand the injustice in this world and want to seek justice for you and your daughter."

The old man shook his head in despair: "Justice, there is no justice in this world. My wife and I have been lingering on until now just to see if that beast will get retribution, but in the end, he was promoted to a higher position and rose to prominence.

I swore in front of my daughter's grave that I would seek justice for her and her brother, but now, I don't even dare to die. I am useless and I am ashamed to see them!"

Uncle Wu couldn't control his tears when he said this and burst into tears.

Su Changhe knew that the old man had been holding back a lot of anger in his heart.

He squatted down and said solemnly: "My name is Su Changhe. My father is General Su who pacified the western border. My elder sister is the first female official of Dashuo. My younger sister is Princess Anle. As long as you tell me who that person is, I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Su Changhe did not want to use his family's reputation to do things, but now, only by mentioning them, Wu Bo will believe that he has this ability.

After Wu Bo heard her, his eyes lit up and asked: "Are you the young master of the Zhenguogong Mansion? No wonder you are willing to talk to an old man like me.

The porridge provided by the Zhenguogong Mansion is the thickest, and there is meat in it. I have eaten it several times, but later there were too many people and I couldn't squeeze in!"

There are naturally many families in the capital who provide porridge, and this is a good opportunity to gain fame.

But different porridges are different, and the lower-class people know this best.

The young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion not only provides porridge to the people, but also gives them clothes, money and food, and her reputation is the best.

"Yes, it was me. After meeting you that day, I have always kept your case in mind. However, I don't know the reason, so I have no way to seek justice for you."

The old man waved his hand and said, "Young master, you are a good person, but things are not that easy. To seek justice for my daughter, I bought land and shops, and sued countless government offices from Liangzhou to the capital, but none of them accepted the case!"

Pei Yuan now roughly understood what had happened. He stood beside the Su Chang River and said, "Old man, if you think his status is not enough, add me. My grandfather is the prime minister of this dynasty. If you are really wronged, the two of us will definitely seek justice for you." Uncle

Wu looked at the two young men in front of him in disbelief. When the daughter was tortured, the person who did it was about the same age as these two.

That's why Granny Wu was so frightened and angry when she saw them. Has the world really changed?

Su Changhe and Pei Yuan looked at each other, and they nodded solemnly to Granny Wu and said, "Uncle Wu, we will take care of your business!"

Uncle Wu shook his head and said, "My child, at first, that man was just a governor, but he was able to cover the sky with one hand. Now, he is in a high position and has an incredible father. It is not that easy to deal with her. I appreciate your kindness, but officials protect each other, and the adults in your family don't want to be involved in such disputes."
