Chapter 205: Making Trouble
Her eyes were wet with tears, slightly red, and her voice was trembling. Gu Yuanniang raised her head and looked at Xu Qingshan and said, "What do you mean?"
"I'm afraid this is one of their schemes." Xu Qingshan looked at Gu Yuanniang and spoke with an uncertain expression.
Song Weiwei, who was not far away, slammed her hand hard on her palm: "I should have thought of it earlier. If it was just to snatch the land deed, they would not be right. I'm afraid they have made this plan long ago."
"But the man is indeed dead. Weiwei measured it just now." Gu Yuanniang said with some sobbing voice.
"That's not necessarily true." Xu Qingshan spoke first, "I once read in a book that if you insert a silver needle into a person's acupuncture point, they will hold their breath and cause a phenomenon of pseudo-death."
"You mean he's not dead?" Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanniang asked immediately as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
Xu Qingshan nodded with some suspicion: "It's possible."
"I didn't expect them to be so vicious!" Song Weiwei said indignantly, "They must have known that my sister-in-law is not here, so they came to bother us on purpose."
"It's useless to talk about this now. The most important thing is to follow the man. If he is not dead, there must be traces to follow." Xu Qingshan said calmly.
"Yes, that's right." Song Weiwei suddenly realized and immediately found Xuguo.
Being dragged by the woman to the front hall, Xuguo felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at Gu Yuanniang crying non-stop, she asked, "What happened?"
After putting all the causes and consequences aside, Xuguo, who was originally serious, suddenly turned serious and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on that group of people and tell you the first time there is any movement."
"Who should I tell?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout came from the door.
The man stroked his mustache and walked towards the crowd with a few yamen runners following him.
"I wonder who your husband is?"
Xu Qingshan bowed slightly to the man in front of him and asked.
"You guys beat someone to death and the case has been reported to the government. Who is Gu Yuan's mother?" The man shouted while looking at everyone.
"I, it's me." Gu Yuanniang took a step forward and walked up.
He looked from the top of Gu Yuanniang's head to her heels, then looked at Gu Yuannian and said, "Come with us."
"No." Song Weiwei immediately stepped forward to stop them: "Where are you taking Liu Niang?"
Seeing that person frowning, Xuguo immediately stepped forward and pulled Song Weiwei over: "Calm down."
"Sir, since you are from the government office, you must have documents, right?" Xu Qingshan stepped forward politely and spoke to the man.
"Of course." The man took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to him.
After reading the document, Xu Qingshan didn't have much to say. He used his lips to form two words to Gu Yuanniang: Don't worry.
After understanding Xu Qingshan's meaning, Gu Yuanniang nodded and left with everyone.
"Mr. Xu, what should we do now?"
Song Weiwei fell on the chair like a puppet without a soul, and spoke with empty eyes.
"Don't worry." Xu Qingshan comforted Song Weiwei, then turned to Xu Guo and said, "You must always follow that man and never relax for a moment."
"Well, don't worry, Mr. Xu."
Xuguo nodded, turned around and walked out.
"Even if this incident is entirely blamed on Liu Niang, it is at most an accidental murder. Besides, they were the first to rush in and search the store, so we can't be blamed." Xu Qingshan analyzed calmly: "I'm afraid they want to kill Liu Niang and fight to the death. That would be difficult to deal with."
"Brother, go find brother, she must have a way!" Song Weiwei said as she was about to run out of the house, but was immediately stopped by Xu Qingshan who reacted.
"You can't find him now. Maybe they will accuse Wu Shao of favoritism and corruption and report him in the court."
"So what should we do now?"
Song Weiwei had never experienced such things before, and she paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
Just when the two were getting extremely worried, they saw Gu Yuanniang walking back safe and sound.
"Sixth Lady!"
When Song Weiwei saw her, she immediately rushed over and hugged the woman: "Let me see, are you hurt?"
He turned Gu Yuanniang over and carefully examined her body. He was relieved when he saw no injuries at all.
"Those people let you come back like this?" Song Weiwei asked in disbelief.
"Yes." Gu Yuan's mother nodded.
"No." Xu Qingshan thought for a while, then pulled Gu Yuanniang aside and sat down: "That's what those people in the government office told you."
"They said they were the ones who broke into our store first. They were also wrong. I didn't do it on purpose, so we decided not to pursue the matter." Gu Yuanniang explained to the two of them.
"That's what I told you." Song Weiwei let out a long sigh and sat down on a chair on the other side. "They must have felt that they were wrong. What were those people doing long ago?"
Hearing this, Xu Qingshan didn't quite agree. He lowered his head and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Something's wrong." Xu Qingshan muttered to himself, "They got the land deed and have such a good excuse in hand, how could they let Liu Niang go so easily?"
"That must be because our Sixth Lady is lucky." Song Weiwei said happily: "Let's go celebrate."
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a woman walking in angrily.
The woman was holding a half-grown child in her hand: "Stop! You killed someone and you want to leave like this!"
"You murderer!"
Seeing Gu Yuanniang, the woman rushed up and tried to pull Gu Yuanniang's hair. Seeing this, Xu Qingshan immediately protected Gu Yuanniang behind him and looked at the person in front of him vigilantly.
The woman ignored the child behind her and rushed forward to pull Gu Yuanniang's hair: "You killed my husband, and you made my family have no way to survive. I will fight you to the death!"
Even though Xu Qingshan tried his best to block in front of her, the woman still refused to give in and tried to pull Gu Yuanniang, causing several scratches on Xu Qingshan's arm from her nails.
"Let go! You are not allowed to bully my mother!" The little girl stood in front of the woman and slapped Xu Qingshan with her little hands.
To outsiders, it seemed that Xu Qingshan and his gang were bullying this pair of orphans and their widowed mother.
As the sound grew louder, more and more people gathered around, surrounding the doorway so tightly that it looked crowded.
Seeing that more people were around, the woman simply sat on the ground and started to act like a scoundrel: "You killed someone and didn't give us an explanation, how can we live?"
The woman was crying and looked very pitiful.
