The two maids almost patted their chests to make a promise and agreed one after another.
"We must look carefully and watch every detail."
"Yes, yes, I have been weaving and embroidering for more than 30 years, so I am sure it will be good."
Master Tai San was so angry that his vision turned black. These people were not trying to distinguish the acupuncture techniques at all, they were clearly trying to steal the skills!
As he spoke, the manager in blue was about to lead his men to push open the door.
Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly opened. Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang, along with a group of women from the workshop, blocked the door and used their bodies to defend against outsiders' covetousness of the workshop.
Yang Lihua said in a loud voice with a cold face, "Even if the government office catches a criminal, they still have to investigate before they can convict him. Even if you are the sons of an official, you still have to be reasonable! You say we stole your acupuncture techniques, so produce evidence. If you can't, we will go to the government office and beat the drum, asking the county magistrate to judge the matter! Let's see if there is still law in this world!"
"Yes, the eldest brother's wife is right!" Grandpa Tai finally arrived at this time. The villagers were so excited that they made way for him as if they were welcoming a triumphant general.
"Sixth Uncle, these people are too arrogant! They want to rob our workshop!"
"Sixth Uncle, you're finally back! We'll listen to you. Shall we fight?"
"These sons of bitches are so arrogant!"
If the clan leader, Mr. Tai Sanye, is the brain of the clan members, then Mr. Tai Laoye is the courage of the clan members!
These people suddenly showed up, the young master was proud, and the lackeys were arrogant, which made everyone very angry. They were just waiting for the old man to come back and fight them to the end!
And the old man never let them down!
He handed the beads to his eldest daughter-in-law, asked about the whole story, and then looked at the nobleman.
"Sir, our Tai family is not a poor family in Tai'an that can be bullied by others. We have also been honored in front of the county magistrate!
"If you say today's incident was a misunderstanding and take these people away immediately, then we can pretend nothing happened.
"But if you insist on taking advantage of us and coveting our Tai family's workshop, then we might as well go to the government office today to have a good discussion!
"You must think it over carefully. Don't cause trouble for your family just because you just came back from outside and are not familiar with Tai'an's affairs!"
The fat on the dandy young man's face trembled when he heard this. His eyes rolled around as he looked up and down at Old Man Tai, feeling a little hesitant.
This old guy is so confident, could it be that he really has someone backing him?
The steward in blue was afraid that the young master would change his mind. He also hoped to seize the Tai family workshop. Then he could use it as an excuse to take charge of the workshop for the young master, and he would be the one making a fortune in the future!
Given the young master's stupidity, he would not be discovered even if he embezzled most of the income!
Thinking about having a beautiful wife and concubines in his arms and eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks in the future, he trembled with excitement.
No matter what, I don’t want to let go of this “big piece of fat meat” in front of me!
So he came up to the young master and whispered, "Young master, don't listen to these peasants trying to scare you! The county magistrate is so busy with his official duties that he doesn't have time to pay attention to them!
"To say that their family had an appointment with the county magistrate was actually not a big deal. It was just that after the New Year, they shaved some ice cubes at home, lit candles, and used them as a trick to provide some light, so that the county magistrate could barely praise them.
You've just returned from the south, and now is the time to start something new. Once you get the knitting methods for cashmere cushions and cashmere clothes, you won't have to do anything and money will roll in. By then, the master will surely be proud of you!"
When the dandy young man heard this, he no longer hesitated.
Gold and silver were fine, and his family had plenty of money to spend, but when he was kicked out of the academy, his father often called him a loser. If he could accomplish this great feat, and make his father proud, it would be totally worth it!
Thinking this way, he also became heroic and cursed, "You bold and unruly people, you stole the secret needlework I brought back from the south, and you dare to be so arrogant! Break in and get the needlework back today. Anyone who dares to stop me is against our Wang family!"
The blue-clothed steward immediately acted as the vanguard and led his men forward.
Mr. Tai doesn't want to get into conflict with others unless it's absolutely necessary.
But his son and daughter-in-law worked so hard to support the workshop. As a father, he couldn't help, but he couldn't just watch his children's hard work being taken away!
Otherwise, how could he have the face to be called dad!
He gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, directly stopped the blue-clothed steward, and kicked him to the ground!
"Everyone, get to work! Arrest these thieves! They're impersonating officials and robbing people's property in broad daylight! This is a serious crime! Arrest them and we'll go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to make the decision!"
"If we can't subdue these thieves today, more people will find an excuse to rob us in the future! How can we survive in Taijia Village? Where will the men and women go to earn money to support their families? Where will the betrothal gifts and dowries come from?
"Fight them! Beat them! Beat them up and tie them up tightly, then we'll set off!"
"Okay, listen to Sixth Uncle and beat those bastards!" Er Mangzi was the closest and he had a bad temper. Immediately after the old man pulled the blue-clothed steward who had climbed up and threw him against the courtyard wall again.
The blue-clothed steward fainted with his eyes rolled back before he could even shout!
Seeing this, the other villagers became excited and quickly joined the ranks of "catching the thief"!
Young and strong man, one on one!
Five or six frail old men and women against one!
Naughty boys and girls, one against one!
There is also a sesame ball. When it sees a villager suffering a loss, it will run over and bite the opponent's thigh!
For a while, the entrance of Taijia Village was filled with screams, shouts, curses and dog barking. Every sound was audible and extremely lively!
The slaves brought by the dandy young man, both men and women, were beaten so hard that they ran away in fear, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to hide in!
They are used to being arrogant and domineering following their master, and are flattered wherever they go. They didn't expect to hit a wall today!
"Oh, oh, spare me! My leg is broken!"
"Woo woo, stop fighting, stop fighting, we are just following the master!"
"Sir, help me! Sir, help me!"
The dandy young man's eyes widened in shock. He was so angry that he threw away his fan and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you! Stop it, stop it right now!"
Unfortunately, everyone treated his words as bullshit and no one paid any attention to him.
No, there are exceptions.
Old Master Tai stretched out his one arm and pulled the fat pig off the carriage. He stepped on the back and ignored the fat pig sticking out his tongue and rolling his eyes. He called for someone to take a rope and tied up the fat pig into a New Year pig!
"Let's go into the city! We must get an explanation today!"
"Into the city, into the city!"
Master Tai San left a few reluctant men to guard the village, and the rest jumped onto the carriage brought by the dandy young man. The dandy young man and a group of servants were tied behind the carriage. They turned the tables and headed straight for the county town!
