Facing the Zhang family's pleas, Xu Lanzhi in the carriage remained silent. She pouted her lips in anger and grumbled in dissatisfaction, "This is none of her business. Everyone is bullying her."
People outside could neither hear nor see her resentment.
The chief guard began to count down expressionlessly, "Ten."
"Nine."
"eight."
…
As he counted down, the Zhang family members' pleas became louder and louder. Some of them even rushed to the front of the carriage, ready to pull the people down themselves, but before the Zhang family members could get close, they were stopped by the guards.
The guard held the cold knife in front of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family paused, not understanding why they were doing this.
"Back off." The guard shouted coldly.
The Zhang family was angry, but there was nothing they could do.
"If she doesn't come down, we should bring her down. Why won't you let us?" Mrs. Zhang asked angrily.
The guard sneered, "How dare you, a lowly person, touch my lady?"
"You..." The Zhang family was indignant, but helpless.
The meaning was very clear: the young lady had to get off the carriage by herself, and no one was allowed to interfere.
Such overbearing behavior made the Zhang family angry and anxious.
While they were fighting, the captain of the guards never stopped counting down.
"three."
"two."
Zhang Jia knelt down to Xu Lanzhi directly, "Miss, please."
However, the people in the carriage remained angry and unmoved.
"one."
As the sound came, the guard next to him slashed with a knife. The man from the Zhang family felt a pain in his neck, blood gushed out, and he fell straight down.
“Ahhh!”
The Zhang family's shrill screams were heard, accompanied by their crying.
This was the noise that Su Yin and others heard.
When Su Yin rushed to the back, she saw that it was the Zhang family members wailing around their dead family member. What made people even more angry was that the guard captain gave another order, and the people under him immediately drew their knives and put them on the necks of two more Zhang family members.
This time it was Zhang’s wife and daughter.
Seeing this, the Zhang family members stopped crying and began to kowtow and beg for mercy to the captain of the guard.
Su Yin looked at the situation with a serious expression and said to Li Rui and others, "Let's go!"
Li Rui and others dared not delay and immediately drove the carriage away.
The team started moving again. After Su Yin returned to the front, Su's mother, Su Baozhu and Yang Rong hurriedly asked what happened.
"What happened back there? Why was there such a noise?" Su's mother asked with concern.
Su Yin told the other three what she had seen, and their eyes widened after hearing it.
Su Baozhu patted her chest, feeling a little scared, "Fortunately we didn't take that woman in. If we had taken that woman in, we would have been in trouble."
Mother Su frowned, "These people are too overbearing."
"It's not just domineering, it's simply shameless." Yang Rong's face was full of contempt and his eyes were filled with anger.
Su Baozhu curled her lips. "If you ask me, the most shameless person is not the guards, but Xu Lanzhi sitting in the carriage. What kind of person is she? Others took you in out of kindness, but she ruined their entire family. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?"
"The more powerful a person is, the less he cares about the lives of ordinary people." Su Yin said in a low voice.
In my previous life, when I heard such words, I could only sigh at the hardships of ordinary people in the feudal dynasty. But now that I am in the middle of it, I feel a deep sense of powerlessness and sadness.
It is so difficult to break free from change.
In the five thousand years of feudal history of Blue Star, no emperor has ever been able to do this.
Even on Blue Star, the situation is often only slightly better than in the feudal dynasties, but it still cannot change some people's deep-seated contempt for ordinary people.
The three of them sighed when they heard this.
"Her father must be a corrupt official who takes human life lightly." Su Baozhu said angrily.
Su's mother and Yang Rong nodded in agreement.
"The people of Linyuan County must be living a miserable life."
Su Yin did not comment on this. It was unknown whether Xu Lanzhi was the daughter of the magistrate of Linyuan County.
"I don't know what will happen to the family behind?" Su's mother sighed.
No one knows what will happen.
Maybe someone will die, maybe not, but it is more likely that the whole family will die.
At one o'clock in the morning, Su Yin and others found a place to rest.
While they were having dinner, a team approached them on the official road. Su Yin and others looked over there and saw carriages of several familiar families who had been following them.
Su Baozhu saw those families, but not the Zhang family. "The families behind the Zhang family have all arrived, but not the Zhang family. I'm afraid they..."
Needless to say, everyone knows what this means.
Su Yin stood up and walked towards the back.
"Mom, you guys eat first, I'll be back soon."
"Um."
Li Rui noticed Su Yin walking backwards, and immediately stood up and followed her.
He also wanted to know what happened to the Zhang family.
Whenever Li Rui thought of what happened last night, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
He was grateful that Su Yin didn't listen to him and kept the woman. Otherwise, they would be the ones facing danger.
The two men walked to the house behind them, who were tidying up their camping spot. Upon seeing them coming, the owner of the house came forward to greet them.
"Excuse me for disturbing you." Su Yin said apologetically.
"Nothing, nothing. What do you two want to talk about?"
"We left quickly and don't know what happened to the Zhang family afterwards, so we wanted to ask how they are doing?" Su Yin directly stated the purpose of their visit.
When the Zhang family was mentioned, the other party shook his head with a look of regret on his face.
"The Zhang family is so miserable."
Su Yin and Li Rui did not interrupt and waited for him to continue.
"You don't know how rampant that group of people was. They killed four members of the Zhang family in succession before the woman in the car was willing to get out." The other party sighed heavily again.
"After the woman came down, I thought she would feel guilty. Guess what she said?"
Li Rui's curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?"
The man snorted in disdain, with a hint of anger in his tone, "That woman actually said to the Zhang family with a wronged look on her face, saying sorry to them, everything was her fault. She didn't know that the people below would be so cruel. If she knew, she would definitely get off the bus early."
"They also said that the dead are gone, so they shouldn't be angry or blame them. People's fate is determined by heaven, and maybe they were destined to die young."
As the man said this, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and he looked like he would jump up and hit someone at any time.
"After hearing this, the Zhang family's wife, who had just lost her son, could no longer hold back and rushed over to kill the woman."
"But the result was... Alas, Zhang's wife was killed by that group of people."
"Five people! In total, five people from the Zhang family died. It's all because of that woman!" The man kept sighing, sighing for the Zhang family.
