Chapter 204 Someone's Dead
"oh."
Erbao hung his head dejectedly and nodded.
Gu Yuan's mother looked at the little girl, shook her head helplessly, and went out.
"Weiwei, hurry up, it's too late."
After packing up the carriage, Gu Yuanniang waited for Song Weiwei to go out early in the morning.
Song Weiwei hurried towards Gu Yuanniang, patted the water droplets on the brim of her hat, and got into the carriage.
They opened the shop as usual, but after what happened before, the business in the shop became much quieter, and it returned to the state it was before they came, with only a few people here and there.
“So boring.”
Song Weiwei squatted at the door of the department store, looking at other shops that were bustling with people, but hers was deserted.
Hearing her sigh, Gu Yuanniang swept the floor clean: "Don't worry, wait until Miaomiao comes back, I will definitely be able to think of a solution."
Just as Song Weiwei was staring outside in a daze, she saw a group of people walking towards the department store aggressively. She had a bad feeling in her heart and immediately called Gu Yuanniang: "Sixth Mother, Sixth Mother, come here quickly, someone is coming."
As soon as Gu Yuanniang raised her head, the man slammed the door hard, making a loud noise.
He put down the broom in his hand, looked at the people in front of him and said, "How many of you are here?"
"We're looking for your shopkeeper." The man pushed Gu Yuanniang and said, "Call your shopkeeper out!"
"I am the shopkeeper here."
Looking at the man in front of her, Gu Yuanniang stood up.
The man looked at Gu Yuanniang and looked her up and down. He asked in a suspicious tone, "Can you be in charge here?"
"I wonder if you guys have any important matters to discuss?" Gu Yuanniang lost her patience and looked at the man and spoke.
The man took out a paper deed and put it on the table. He looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "You have never seen the balance paid. Now the original owner has sold the store to us. Hurry up and take out the deed."
Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei looked at each other. Song Weiwei took a step forward and tried to take the paper deed, but the man dodged her: "What do you mean? Are you trying to destroy the evidence?"
Song Weiwei's face turned red with anger, and she looked at the man: "If you don't show it to me, how can I know whether it is real or fake?"
"Whether it's true or false." Gu Yuanniang stepped forward and stood in front of Song Weiwei: "We had agreed with the original shopkeeper at the time that we would settle the matter with him three months later. He also received our deposit, so how could he transfer the store to someone else!"
"Whether you fall to the ground or not, I don't want to care. Anyway, I have already given you eight hundred taels of silver. You'd better be sensible and hand over the land deed, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless." The man said and winked at the person behind him.
"Don't even think about it." Gu Yuanniang carefully protected Song Weiwei behind her and looked at the people in front of her: "It's impossible for us to give you the land deed."
"Come here, search them all!"
The man gave an order and the people behind him rushed forward.
"Stop!" Gu Yuanniang tried her best to stop the man from coming forward: "This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor, how can you still follow the law by doing this!"
Although Gu Yuanniang was very strong, she couldn't handle the crowd in front of her and was pushed to the ground by the man.
"Sixth Lady!"
Song Weiwei suddenly became anxious and wanted to help the woman on the ground.
"Husband, the title deed has been found." Xiao Si, who was standing nearby, searched the department store for a while and found the title deed at the cashier's counter and handed it to the man.
The man holding the title deed seemed to be more confident. He looked at Gu Yuanniang who was lying on the ground and said, "Now the title deed is in our hands. This is our base. If this is true, you'd better get out!"
Seeing Gu Yuanniang's indignant eyes, the man held the deed and smiled: "Don't worry, we won't touch any of the things in your shop. We will send them all to you. Madam Gu, I'm sorry I won't send them far away."
Gu Yuannian's eyes suddenly turned red. He stared at the man in front of him and stood up. He said in a trembling voice: "I will fight you!"
"Sixth Lady."
Song Weiwei wanted to stand up to stop her, but she lost her balance and fell to the ground. She could only watch Gu Yuanniang rush towards the man.
Gu Yuanniang hit Xiao Si on the back with a wooden stick in her hand. Blood spurted out of his mouth and Xiao Si fell to the ground and fainted.
“How could this be? I clearly didn’t use much strength…” Gu Yuanniang looked at her hands in disbelief. She looked at the fainted Xiao Si and wanted to step forward, but was pushed aside by that man.
"Get out of my way!"
The man half-knelt on the ground, sighing Xiao Si's breath with his fingers, with some disbelief in his mouth: "Dead, dead?"
"impossible!"
Song Weiwei's eyes were filled with fear. She immediately stood up and sniffed the person on the ground. She stepped back in disbelief and looked at Gu Yuanniang: "No, he's dead."
Her eyes widened in fear, and Gu Yuanniang stepped back repeatedly: "It wasn't me, I didn't mean to do that, I didn't..."
"Now what do you have to say?"
The man supported the man who fell to the ground with one hand while waiting for Gu Yuanniang: "Are you going to kill someone just because of a land deed? Do you think that human life is no different from a dead object?"
As he said that, the man threw the deed to the ground in a rage and looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Keep the deed safe. This life won't be let go like this. See you at the government office!"
"I didn't mean to do that. I didn't mean to do that."
Gu Yuanniang's eyes were blurry and she kept mumbling something. Song Weiwei wanted to help her up, but it was of no use.
"Yuan Niang?"
Following Xu Miaomiao's suggestion, Xu Qingshan, who originally loved to go to the department store, came more often. Looking at Gu Yuanniang sitting on the ground and the man who had just left, he had a bad feeling.
"Sixth Lady, get up quickly. Don't sit on the ground. It's cold."
Xu Qingshan picked up Gu Yuanniang by the waist and put her on a chair beside him.
Feeling the man's body temperature, Gu Yuanniang also reacted and hugged Xu Qingshan tightly: "I, I killed someone!"
"What's going on?"
With a frown on his face, Xu Qingshan looked at Gu Yuan's mother and asked, but he could only hear the woman mumbling that she didn't mean it.
He could only pat her back gently to comfort her, and then looked at Song Weiwei beside her: "Weiwei, what happened to the person who fell to the ground, and what happened to the person who just left."
Song Weiwei was relatively calm and explained to Xu Qingshan what had just happened.
"This matter is definitely not that simple." Xu Qingshan said, "Perhaps they came here with the mentality that someone would definitely get hurt."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanniang in his arms also raised her head and looked at Xu Qingshan.
