Chapter 255: How did it become like this?
Daliushu Village, Su family.
After driving away the people from the Duke of Ying's Mansion, some of them went back to continue building the academy, while others went to the Su family to discuss countermeasures.
"Old Su, I heard that the Duke of Guo is a high-ranking official in the capital." Old Master Wang took a puff of his pipe and said worriedly, "As the saying goes, the people don't fight against the officials. Now they want to take Fu Ya away. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle..."
Although we beat the guy away this time, what about next time?
What if they come with a large number of people and the people in our village can’t defeat them?
Furthermore, what if someone uses power to oppress you?
"What's so difficult about it? I'm not afraid of them! No matter how high his position, he can't bully my daughter!" Old Man Su slammed the table and said angrily, "At worst, I'll fight them!"
"Yes! Let's fight them!" Su Xiaoliu echoed his father loudly, "You want to snatch my sister away? Dream on!"
Old Master Wang glared at Su Xiaoliu.
"What do you know, little kid? I'm discussing something with your father, why are you interfering?"
As he said this, he puffed Su Xiaoliu with his pipe.
"Go! Go do what you need to do!"
Su Xiaoliu cried out in pain.
"Uncle Wang, why did you hit me? I'm leaving! I'm going to the mansion to find my sister!"
Su Xiaoliu rubbed his arms and left.
"Fuya...went to the big house again?" Old Master Wang asked with a thoughtful look on his face.
"It should be." Old Man Su nodded.
"Old Su, do you know the identity of that Young Master Yang?" Old Master Wang asked again.
Old Man Su, “…”
Although he didn't know Xuanyuan Jin's identity, he knew the old general's identity.
Old Man Su shook his head.
There are some things that others don't say themselves, and you must never tell others.
"I think that Young Master Yang should be a man of status, and he is also good to Fu Ya. If we ask him for help..." Old Master Wang said tentatively.
Old Man Su immediately shook his head.
"If they can help, they will definitely help. If they can't help, we can't make things difficult for them."
In Old Man Su's opinion, Young Master Yang is indeed good to his little girl.
If I can help, I will definitely help.
If he can't help, it must be because he can't afford to offend the Duke's Mansion.
He had saved my little girl before, so I can't harm him, right?
Old man Su didn't know that Young Master Yang had already started taking action.
Moreover, the problem of the British Mansion will be solved from the root.
"That's right." After hearing what Old Man Su said, Old Man Wang nodded.
Then he added, "Should we send a message to the prefect about this matter?"
After all, the prefect is Fuya's godfather.
"This..." Old Man Su hesitated.
"No need!" Old Madam Su walked in and said resolutely, "There's no need to implicate anyone in this matter! I want to see what the people from the Duke of Ying can do to us!!"
After Mrs. Su finished speaking, a look of contempt appeared on her face.
He added, "She's done so many immoral things that her descendants are almost extinct. Yet she still wants to continue doing evil. Aren't you afraid that her grandson will die before he can find someone to bring him happiness?"
"That's right! Who is our Fu Ya? Can anyone plot against her?" Village Chief Wang Zhengyi said confidently, "Anyone who plots against our Fu Ya will not have a good ending. I think this guy from the Duke's Mansion will definitely not have a good ending either!"
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, someone immediately agreed.
"Right, right! Maybe that damn young master of the Duke's Mansion will have died before three days have passed!"
"That's right! Even a healthy person who messed with our Fu Ya could have nearly lost his life, let alone a sickly person!"
"That's right... That sickly guy is probably going to meet his demise now..."
"Hahaha... I think this damn Duke's Mansion is so bold that it actually dares to provoke our Fu Ya..."
“…”
People were talking at once, and the atmosphere was getting more lively.
The atmosphere in the room was very lively. Where was the trace of solemnity of discussing something?
It was obvious that he was waiting to see the Duke's Mansion make a fool of itself.
Originally, most of the villagers in Daliushu Village were very simple and honest.
I would never say such words that would curse someone to death.
But now, the actions of the British government have touched the bottom line of these people.
As a result, people no longer have any taboos in speaking.
Mr. Wang suddenly felt that he was worrying for no reason.
It doesn't seem like a big deal.
Because when big things come to Fu Ya, they are no longer big things.
"Well, even so, we still have to make some preparations," Old Master Wang said loudly. "If that young master isn't dead, and that Duke's Mansion really comes with a sedan chair to snatch him away in three days, we have to be fully prepared..."
"That's right." An old man looked at the village chief and said, "Zhengyi, gather the whole village later and tell everyone to carry their weapons with them for the next few days to prevent those people from the Duke's Mansion from coming to snatch people away!"
"Okay! I'll go and ring the gong in a moment!" Wang Zhengyi agreed loudly, "This time, everyone in our village, young and old, men and women, must take action! As long as anyone comes, we'll beat them all out!"
"Yes! Hit him!"
"Hit him!"
“…”
For a moment, the room was filled with anger and the atmosphere was high.
**
At this time, on the road leading to the county town, a carriage with a broken axle was lying on the side of the road.
There were several people standing next to the carriage, some holding their waists, some rubbing their legs, groaning, and looking very miserable.
"How could this axle suddenly break?" Mother Zhang screamed. "Li Wangba, how did you drive the cart?"
The driver known as "Li Wangba"'s expression changed, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Li Wangba" is his nickname.
Of course he didn't like being called that to his face.
"Mother Zhang, this broken axle has nothing to do with me driving the cart?" Li Wangba said, "The horse was frightened just now. If I hadn't been so experienced and skilled at driving, I'm afraid the cart would have flipped over long ago. If that had happened, I don't know if you'd still be alive..."
"Bullshit! I'm still alive!" Mother Zhang cursed.
Li Wangba secretly curled his lips.
However, since Mother Zhang was the Third Young Lady's confidant, he did not dare to offend her.
Mother Wang frowned, looked at Li Wangba, and asked, "Can this axle be repaired?"
If it can’t be repaired, do we have to walk back to the county town?
I'm so unlucky today.
First he was beaten out of the village, and then because the horse was frightened, he was terrified in the carriage and was tossed around all over.
Now, the carriage broke down on the road again.
What should I do?
After hearing what Mama Wang said, Li Wangba said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Mama Wang, look at this axle, it's broken like this. How can we fix it? Besides, we don't have the tools to fix it."
Mother Wang, “…”
Are we really going to walk back to the county town?
How long will this take?
Moreover, she was in pain all over, and she was tired, hungry, and thirsty...
How did things turn out like this today?
