Su Qi frowned for a long time before looking up and asking, "The relief measures issued by Yun County have been distributed to various towns and villages. Logically, these people should have returned to their villages to wait for assistance. Why are they coming to Mengjiazhuang again?"
This rescue is different from previous ones.
Zhou Hua'an united the wealthy families in the county and the leaders of various towns and villages. County Magistrate Zhou was determined to stabilize Yun County.
Zhou Dashan had a loud voice and snorted with disdain:
"Madam, when those people heard that relief food still required labor in exchange, they naturally wanted to take advantage of the large numbers to attack Mengjia Village."
Mengjiazhuang had a lot of food, and some people leaked it out.
How could those tribesmen not be jealous when they heard this?
Everyone wants to come and get a piece of the pie.
In addition, some women were eager to help their tribesmen, so they naturally had some inappropriate thoughts, thinking that no one would know during the chaos.
"Madam, Chief Meng invites you and me to visit the Meng clan ancestral hall." Zhou Dashan remembered that Chief Meng's people were still waiting at the gatehouse.
Su Qi shook her head:
"That's not right. Many ancestral halls don't allow women to enter, and I'm an outsider, so how can I go in?" Su Qi looked at Gu Beiheng, "It's not convenient for us to get involved in their clan's affairs."
Gu Beiheng didn't want to get involved even more, so he called Xiao Liuzi to reject Patriarch Meng.
Just say that it is inconvenient for your family to get involved in the affairs of Mengjiazhuang.
In just a moment's time, the families and children of the punished women came to the gate of the Gu family's courtyard and knelt down together.
"Mrs. Gu, please forgive my mother."
"Mrs. Gu, please be kind."
The angry Xiao Liuzi picked up a bucket of water and was about to throw it over, but was stopped by Ying Shi.
Ying Shi asked Xiao Liuzi to invite Su Qi and the others over. He leaned against the wall with his arms folded. His cold eyes fixed on these people, scanning them one by one.
"Hey, our lady has no involvement in the affairs of your Meng tribe. Aren't you asking for mercy in the wrong way?" Ying Shi bit a straw in his mouth, looking quite nonchalant.
Someone rolled his eyes a few times, raised his head and smiled:
"Although Madam Gu didn't participate, her status and position are there. With just one word from her, Patriarch Meng will definitely show some leniency."
I'm so fucking...
Ying Shi couldn't help it anymore.
He smiled gently, and those who knew Ying Shi well knew that he could not hold back his temper.
"My wife's status is indeed high, and you are right."
The kneeling man thought this was a good idea, "So we asked Madam Gu to come over and intercede for us. Just say a few words to her."
Ying Shi smiled and picked up the bucket that Xiao Liuzi had put down, and poured the whole bucket of water on the group of people.
"Who are you? A bunch of bastards who waste the air you breathe and the food you live. How dare you ask our wife to intercede for you?"
"Hey, you're just a servant. Your master hasn't spoken yet, why are you a dog barking like that?" Some people in the crowd were unhappy. No wonder they say that the King of Hell is easier to deal with than little ghosts.
Before Ying Shi could say anything, Su Qi rushed over and stopped him. "Ying Shi, get out of here."
Ying Shi took a step back silently.
Su Qi walked over with a proud look on her face, pacing back and forth around those people.
The sound of footsteps.
It was like a knife cutting into those people's hearts.
After walking back and forth twice, Su Qi cast a sharp gaze at the person who had just spoken. "Is there enough food at home now?"
The man thought Su Qi would be angry, but when he saw Su Qi scolding Ying Shi and chatting about family matters, he became bolder.
Even his back straightened up a lot, "Enough to eat."
"Are you not going to be hungry or cold anymore?" Su Qi raised her eyebrows and there was a hint of gentleness in her words.
"This year is the best year for harvest." Several people nearby said with a smile.
Su Qi nodded thoughtfully, "Having enough food and warm clothes makes my heart grow bigger. Everyone in my house is my family.
I don't have any other advantages. The only thing I have is that I protect my shortcomings.
I am the only one who can bully my people. Anything others say is more hateful than scolding me." Su Qi's eyes grew more vicious as he spoke.
There was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, which made those who were kneeling and begging for mercy feel cold.
Can they say they regret it?
"In my eyes, you are nothing but ants. How dare you, a piece of trash, bully me?" Su Qi always did things as she pleased. She was not afraid of others pointing at her and calling her vicious.
Even when saving people, one must ensure that one is absolutely safe before taking action.
"From now on, you families will no longer get any job opportunities in my Gu Mansion." Su Qi took the whip from Bai Zhi and whipped the man who scolded Ying Shi.
"Ah." The man was whipped on the arm, and the tip of the whip swept across the corner of his mouth.
It suddenly swelled up.
Not even a chance to work in the Gu Mansion?
Will they still have a way to survive after that?
"Madam, we were wrong. Please take back what you said." Someone pleaded. They came here because of the instigation of others.
It is said that these rich people care the most about face.
I like to have the title of a good person.
"We also heard that Madam is kindhearted. If we just come and ask you, you will definitely agree."
"I really didn't mean it."
Su Qi got angry when she saw these spineless people who were swayed by the wind.
"Did anyone instigate you to come?"
"Yes. We didn't dare. It was instigated by others."
Su Qi took a step back and said coldly:
"I hate people who put the blame on others when something goes wrong. If they were really brave, I'd look up to them."
"Get out of here. If you kneel down here again, you will be treated as robbers."
After Su Qi said this, her cold eyes swept across the desperate eyes of the crowd.
She couldn't be kind to some ignorant people.
"Mrs. Gu, are you really so heartless?"
"You don't deserve it." Su Qi made a shushing gesture. "Stop making noise. Otherwise, I'll kill you right now. I have plenty of money to settle the lives of you, who are worse than dogs. Don't forget what the storyteller in town said."
The others looked at each other, wondering which sentence the storyteller had said.
After Su Qi finished speaking, she entered the yard.
The people in Mengjiazhuang were devastated and stood up tremblingly, supporting each other.
Chief Meng also got the news and ran over with his men holding ropes to tie up these troublemakers.
These days, Chief Meng said he was exhausted.
Most of his hair has turned white.
I should have known these bastards were this kind of people.
It would be better to let them starve to death.
Ying Shi and the others had not expected Su Qi to act like this. They were Gu Beiheng's men, and although they obeyed Su Qi's orders, they were not afraid of him.
That’s also because Su Qi is Mrs. Gu.
Now.
A warm feeling surged in his heart, and Ying Shi, who was always sharp-tongued, felt that it was great to have someone protecting him.
Su Tianze, who was walking from the south, had deep eyes.
That weak and incompetent sister who even had a low IQ has grown up.
How much suffering do we have to endure along the way to grow?
Su Tianze moved back step by step. None of the girls in the Su family was as fierce as Su Qi was now.
But he likes it.
I walked to the backyard door, took a deep breath and was about to step in.
Su Qi's voice came from behind. "Brother, have you done anything bad?"
Su Tianze turned to look at Su Qi with amusement, his eyes filled with doting, relief and heartache.
"In your eyes, I must have done something bad?"
"Yeah. You're standing at the door hesitating, you must be up to no good." Su Qi stepped over the threshold and nudged him with his arm.
"Study hard following Mr. Qian. It will be helpful to you in the future."
"Qiqi, do you hope that big brother will take the imperial examination?"
Su Qi thought for a while and nodded solemnly.
"Hope. It's nothing more than being able to protect the people I want to protect better than anyone else."
Being an official in the imperial court is risky, but ordinary people face even greater risks.
