Chapter 1073 She is a weak woman
Shu Yu snorted coldly, kicked the first person to the ground, and then with a sidestep, threw the other person over her shoulder.
Turning around, Ying Xi also flirted with two others.
Everyone was speechless. "...Aren't you a weak woman? Aren't you supposed to be unable to beat them?"
The middle-aged man froze, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
The others didn't dare to step forward either, and just formed a circle in a vague manner. As Shu Yu moved forward, the circle moved forward as well.
The backyard wall had collapsed more than halfway, and Shu Yu easily led her horse out the door.
The middle-aged man realized that this situation was not going to continue, and that the person would die if things continued like this.
Just then, someone shouted, "The officials are here!"
Shu Yu looked up and indeed saw two constables walking towards her. She didn't know if they were just passing by or if someone had summoned them.
Someone in the crowd called out to Shu Yu, "Miss, didn't you say you were going to report to the authorities? This constable has arrived just in time."
Shu Yu glanced at the man. Why did these people like watching the show so much?
However, he wasn't the only one who seemed to thrive on chaos. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Officer, someone here wants to report to the authorities!"
Shu Yu's lips twitched, and the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.
There's no other way now that things have come to this.
When the middle-aged man saw the constable looking in their direction, he hurriedly went to greet him.
Shu Yu, with her sharp eyes, saw him hand a piece of silver to the constable. The constable glanced at him and then accepted the silver.
Ying Xi leaned close to Shu Yu and whispered, "Miss, those officials might not be on our side anymore."
"Yes, make a big scene later, then go directly to the prefectural government office and find the prefect."
She's someone of status now, surely she wouldn't suffer a loss over something so trivial?
Just then, the two constables came over, glanced at Shu Yu, then at the white horse beside her, and said, "Are you the one who wants to report to the authorities?"
Before Shu Yu could speak, he continued, "Wait a moment, we have something to do right now, we'll talk about the details later. Okay, everyone step back a little, don't block the way."
Shu Yu thought he would start making trouble right away, but she didn't expect him to ask her to wait a little longer.
The official waved for everyone to step back, saying, "I was wondering why there were so many people here. Half of the courtyard wall has collapsed. Alright, alright, stop crowding around and move back a bit."
No sooner had he finished speaking than two horse-drawn carriages appeared on the street not far away.
Someone next to Shu Yu whispered, "Is that the prefect's carriage?"
Shu Yu suddenly realized that the prefect had business to attend to on this street, and these two officials were there to clear the way.
Before I could even finish thinking about it, two carriages had already passed by.
However, when the person sitting in the carriage in front lifted the curtain and looked out, their eyes met Shu Yu's.
"Lord Wan??" Shu Yu asked in surprise.
Isn't this the official from the Ministry of Personnel who went to Linzhang Prefecture to deliver the imperial edict?
Shu Yu had met this Lord Wan once before. When Yao Tianqin was reinstated, it was Lord Wan who went to deliver the imperial decree and bring him back.
He seemed to have been injured or ill, but was saved by the medicine that Madam Hou brought.
On the day Yao Tianqin left Heichang County, Shu Yu went to see him off and happened to meet this Lord Wan.
Wasn't he an official in the capital? Why is he in Shangyang Prefecture? Surely he's not here to deliver another imperial decree?
