The head of the Chen family was still leisurely drinking tea with County Magistrate He. Although there were some disturbances on the scene, there were special people to take care of them. They only needed to take good care of Mr. Qinghe.
Mr. Qinghe's brows knitted as he looked at the mess in the courtyard. "Shouldn't we go take a look at Magistrate He?"
Magistrate He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nervously, "Don't worry, sir. We've already sent people to deal with it. I guess it's just some little guys causing trouble. It's not a big deal."
Although he was still unclear about what had happened, the attendant who had gone with the old man had not returned yet, so County Magistrate He could not lose his composure.
Mr. Qinghe looked at Magistrate He with some dissatisfaction: "The Hundred Flowers Banquet is an annual event. We must not allow any mistakes to happen. Let's go and take a look together."
With that, Mr. Qinghe stood up, brushed his robe and walked towards the backyard first. The others looked at each other. Why were they still sitting here when Mr. Qinghe had already left?
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Magistrate He. Magistrate He's eyes twitched and he could only respond helplessly: "Let's go and see what happened."
A good banquet was ruined like this. If anything really goes wrong, no one here will be in good shape.
Magistrate He relaxed his expression and then caught up with Mr. Qinghe.
Han Xiao slowly pulled the young master inside with the crowd. The young master was very curious about what had happened.
"We'll know when we get there." Han Xiao said casually.
The young master pouted and said, "Brother Han Xiao is not interesting at all. Isn't he curious at all?"
When I walked into the backyard, there were already quite a few people gathered. The old man's face was pale and he was arranging servants to stop the people rushing in.
"Everyone, please stay." The old man's forehead was covered with sweat. He really didn't know how this matter would end today.
But the more the old man prevented people from entering, the more curious others became. A few young and energetic ones even wanted to rush in, but were stopped by the Chen family's servants.
Chen Chengya stood outside the door of the wing room, his face so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out.
And there was a person lying at Chen Chengye's feet, crying out in pain.
Someone who knew him immediately exclaimed, "Isn't this Yu Pengyi? Why is he here?"
"Yu Pengyi? Who is that?"
"This is a man. How did a man come to the backyard room? It's so scary."
"Yeah, how could there be a man?"
For a while, the sound of people talking filled the air. When the head of the Chen family saw Chen Chengye, he knew that something was wrong. When he saw Chen Chengye lying on the ground, his face changed drastically.
"What's going on?" The head of the Chen family almost staggered to Chen Chengye and asked in a deep voice.
Chen Chengye's face looked grim and he didn't say anything. He just looked at the lying Yu Pengyi with a fierce look.
Feeling Chen Chengye's gaze, Yu Pengyi didn't dare to raise his head. He had just been beaten and was in so much pain all over his body that he didn't even have the strength to shout.
At this time, a few young men who had just run out and were still in shock also came over with tears on their faces. They were even more scared when they saw Yu Pengyi lying on the ground.
Mr. Qinghe also guessed what was going on, but he felt that Yu Pengyi, who was lying on the ground, looked familiar. However, the situation was complicated and he did not ask. He just asked County Magistrate He to evacuate the crowd to prevent any further trouble.
Almost everyone gathered at the backyard door and refused to leave, just out of curiosity to know the result.
County Magistrate He called over the little flower gods who had just run away and asked them what had happened.
It was obvious that these young ladies were still in confusion, and their speech was incoherent and they couldn't explain themselves clearly. Seeing that Mr. Qinghe's face was getting worse and worse, County Magistrate He could only let them go first.
At this time, the door of the compartment was still tightly closed. Qinghe glanced at it and did not ask anyone to knock on the door but walked to Yu Pengyi.
Seeing this, Mr. Qinghe's child Qingfeng immediately carried Yu Pengyi in front of Mr. Qinghe.
"Tell me what happened. How did you, a man, get to the backyard room?" Mr. Qinghe asked in a deep voice.
Yu Pengyi couldn't help but twitch when he saw Mr. Qinghe, his eyes dodging: "I...I just got lost and accidentally walked here."
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Yu Pengyi was lying. Chen Chengye was so angry that he wanted to rush up and punch him, but was stopped. Mr. Qinghe was still here, and he absolutely could not allow anyone to be beaten.
"Oh, really? There are people guarding the backyard room all the time. How did you get lost? Why don't you tell the truth now?" Mr. Qinghe's voice was sharp. This was obviously a conspiracy. It was a pity for the young man inside.
Yu Pengyi shook himself and struggled to break free, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed several times: "Mr. Qinghe, please make the decision for me."
Mr. Qinghe was frightened by Yu Pengyi's sudden action and took a step back. Seeing Yu Pengyi crying so sadly, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Is there some hidden reason?
Chen Chengye is not a fool. He knows that Yu Pengyi must have been instructed by someone. If this kid really tells Mr. Qinghe about this matter, there will be no way to resolve it peacefully.
Chen Chengye reacted quickly and walked up to Mr. Qinghe. "Sir, you can't do this. This concerns my reputation. I absolutely cannot listen to this scoundrel's one-sided words."
Mr. Qinghe looked around and felt that what Chen Chengye said was right. Although all irrelevant personnel had been asked to leave, there was still quite a commotion in the courtyard. For the reputation of the young man in the room, this matter could not be tried in public.
Mr. Qinghe then looked at Magistrate He and said, "Governor He, this is within your jurisdiction. I will not interfere any further. I hope that Magistrate He can handle this impartially."
As he said this, he was about to leave with the child. When Yu Pengyi saw that Mr. Qinghe was about to leave, he wanted to step forward to stop him, but was kicked hard by Chen Chengye again.
Mr. Qinghe didn't say much when he saw Chen Chengye's actions, but he frowned, indicating that he was not satisfied with the Chen family's current actions.
After Mr. Qinghe left, County Magistrate He's face darkened. He asked his followers to pick up Yu Pengyi, knock on the door and go in. The truth still needed to be confronted by the parties involved.
When Yu Pengyi saw that Mr. Qinghe had left, he knew that this time it was really over, but he could not tell the truth. He could only grit his teeth and do as Han Xiao asked.
The door of the wing room opened, and Chen Jiabao was still sobbing in Han Mingxiu's arms. When she saw someone coming in, she suddenly raised her head like a frightened deer.
Seeing that it was his father and brother who came, Chen Jiabao felt even more aggrieved: "Dad, wuwuwuwu..."
Chen Jiabao burst into tears. When Han Mingxiu saw that everyone had come, he knew that he could not hide the matter. After thinking it over for a long time, he made up his mind to stand up.
"County Magistrate He, Uncle Chen, you are here." He said with a fierce look at Yu Pengyi who was being held half-dead behind him.
