Changfu knelt on the ground in a daze, looking at the scene in front of him with shock, because what was in front of him was no longer the house in his memory, but a dilapidated and miserable shabby room.
Changfu looked at the plaque with the words "Purple Air Coming from the East" that had fallen in front of him. There were also some footprints and saliva on it. He looked up and suddenly felt like the sky was falling.
Why is the door still missing?
The whole house was smashed to pieces! Chang Fu rushed in and saw that the garden inside the house looked like it had been plowed by a herd of cattle, and the rockery was also smashed to pieces. There was no intact place in the house, everything was turned upside down, and all the valuable things in the house disappeared.
"Chang'er, you are finally back. A group of thieves have come! Our house has been completely emptied!" Several women came out with their children.
"What? Thieves emptied our house? Didn't anyone of you report it to the police?"
"After they left, we rushed to the county magistrate's office, but there was no one there!"
"What nonsense! You woman are always telling lies. I left a group of people behind before I left. How could there be no one in the county government office? I think you are afraid of death! You didn't go there at all." He Guoan glared at the woman angrily. He obviously didn't believe it!
"Oh no, oh no, Master Changfu! Our families have also been looted!" A group of servants rushed over in a hurry. They had just returned to Shougong County and went back home, but after seeing the tragic scene, they almost thought they had returned to the wrong place.
"What?" Chang Fu found it hard to accept the group of people who kept reporting the miserable situation. He slumped to the ground and looked at a still intact stone table in the garden.
"The ladies all agreed that it was someone from Fengyang County who did it! It's because the family head and his men teamed up and bought the land belonging to Fengyang County at a very low price! They're clamoring for revenge!"
"What? Fengyang County? How dare they do this? They actually did this on my territory, and they did it while I was away!" He Guoan gritted his teeth. Although he didn't feel any pity for the miserable plight of those landlords, he was surprised that they were so bold! It was simply a blatant provocation!
"Sir! Sir! You are finally back!" A man in yamen clothes knelt in front of He Guoan with a humble look on his face, panting.
"Xiao Li, why are you so panicked?" He Guoan immediately had a bad premonition, and at the same time he had already anticipated the result. He prayed that it would not be what he thought!
"Sir, the county magistrate's residence and the county government office were smashed, and the imperial government's grants and Shougong County's savings were all stolen! Fortunately, your wife and children were not harmed!"
"Why did I keep you here? How did it get smashed? Did they catch the guy? He said that to let them escape!" He Guoan grabbed the other man's collar, slapped him, and roared:
"Sir, the other party used a shady trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, tricking all of us to go somewhere else! That's why we..."
"Shut up! You're a bunch of rubbish!!!"
He Guoan almost fainted after hearing their words. He instantly understood Changfu's mood. The government grant and his savings over the years were all gone. He had no mood to stay here anymore, so he immediately got up and rushed back to the county magistrate's mansion!
He Guoan ran at a fast speed, with flesh on his body flying all over the place. After returning to the house, he saw that the garden he had carefully cared for had been dug up like newly cultivated farmland.
All the tiles in the house were ripped off, even the floor tiles were ripped off, and the other party actually dumped the urinal on his bedside! What's even more strange is! Damn, why are all the doors gone!?
"father!"
"Old He! You're finally back!" A woman with a child rushed towards He Guoan.
"Don't be afraid, ma'am, son, I'm back! Are you all right? And did you see each other's appearance clearly?"
"They didn't attack us, Lao He. They must be from Fengyang County. I won't make a mistake!" The woman told He Guoan everything that happened and the conversation when she was robbed!
After hearing what his wife said, He Guoan was convinced that the other party was from Fengyang County! He gritted his teeth and immediately prepared for revenge!
Changfu, frantically, dug a box from under the stone table in the backyard. His father had told him that the family's savings were all in there, and now he felt relieved. He held the box, now filled with dirt, proudly. He looked around. Everything had been dug up into a horrible state, except for the area under the stone table. His father was so smart! He had thought of hiding it there! The other group had no idea!
Then he opened the box with great joy. After opening it, at that moment, his expression froze and he was petrified, because there was no property in the box in his hand, only a few pieces of feces made of mud, and the mud was still fresh, which meant that it had been there just a short time. Then he collapsed to the ground powerlessly. He really couldn't accept this fact, and suddenly he began to doubt.
Could they be the men of that idiot Xiqing County Magistrate? No, how could that be? Those natives, aside from being stronger, weren't they so clever? And I didn't notice anyone following me the entire way. Their county is so poor, they probably only have a few horses, and I came back in that cart. And they didn't attack until after we left! Their swiftness meant they had already set up an ambush and made arrangements. Could they be from Shougong County?
Damn it! I was originally thinking about how to fight for the family property, but now even the family property is gone! What the hell is there to fight for?! ! !
