Chapter 278 Must wait!
The market was bustling with people. The two men found a secret place to store the cart and headed towards the exit of Qingshui County.
Ran Qingxuan was not idle along the way, looking here and there. Earlier, she had been thinking about what kind of livelihood her family should have after going to the place of exile.
She had a lot of money in her space, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were just ordinary people who were penniless after their homes were ransacked.
If you spend too much money, you will inevitably be targeted by people with ulterior motives. Once people see you spending money when you have no means of making a living, it means that they are telling others that the Gu family can create money out of thin air.
She did have cooperation with Qi Minghe, but given the Gu family's ambitions, how could they always let their daughter-in-law support them?
Therefore, every time Ran Qingxuan passed through a county or town, he would observe it carefully.
After gradually coming to some thought, he decided to go back and discuss it with the Gu family.
He Xun was injected with sedatives twice, so he had no idea what was happening. It was not until he woke up that he realized they had been walking on the official road for four days.
Of course, this was just Ran Qingxuan's explanation. In fact, she and Gu Yanchen rested during the day and drove at night. Occasionally, they would avoid people on the official road and enter the space to rest for a while.
"How long will it take us to get to Feng County?" The Feng County that He Xun was talking about was right next to Qianchong, more than an hour's journey from the exit of Qianchong Mountain Road.
"In another hour, we will enter Feng County."
The official road they took was smooth, but it was a roundabout way and took three times as long as taking the mountain road, so it was very likely that the exile team had already left Fengxian County.
Gu Yanchen wanted to go back and report his safety as soon as possible, so the two of them set out early in the morning after a night's rest. Ran Qingxuan did not inject He Xun with a sedative today, so he woke up at this time.
Hearing that it would take another hour to enter Feng County, He Xun cleared his throat and said.
"Let's go to the post house where we usually rest before we get into the city. I hope the boss and his men haven't been away for long."
"good!"
Gu Yanchen was pulling the cart, and Ran Qingxuan stayed beside him, chatting with him idly.
At the same time, time goes back to when the sky was just getting bright.
The Gu family went from being filled with fear in the beginning to being completely numb now, but they still held on to the last glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Madam Gu had lost her appetite these past few days, and couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning. She pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside, imagining that Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan would come back...
When Bu Fei went to call the main force to set off on behalf of his brother, Old Madam Gu sat there motionless as a mountain without getting up.
"Master Bucha, my son and daughter-in-law will come back. We can't just leave like this!"
Upon hearing this, the women of the Gu family turned their heads away and wiped away the tears that were about to flow from the corners of their eyes.
But none of them tried to persuade Old Lady Gu to leave. Instead, they walked forward with red eyes and confronted the officers.
"My sixth brother and his wife will be back soon. Let's wait a little longer!"
Bu Fei controlled his hot temper, tightened the whip in his hand, and said in a cold voice.
"Since Ran saved my brother and these brothers, we have already made things convenient for them. What else do you want? Do you want to be whipped before you leave?"
"Then you'll have to beat me to death here, otherwise I won't leave!"
Upon hearing this, Bu Fei suddenly became irritated and swung the whip at the ground a few times.
"How long are you going to wait? We waited for a whole day yesterday, but even our people couldn't come back. How long do you want to wait?"
He thought that after talking about this, the Gu family would definitely take action, but he didn't expect that such an obvious warning was of no use to them.
Old Madam Gu sat by the campfire as if she hadn't heard anything, while the other female members of the family stood upright on either side of her.
Bu Fei also lost his mind because of this incident. Seeing that the whip in his hand was about to fall on the women of the Gu family, Gu Yanzong, who had been silent all the time, pushed his wheelchair to block everyone.
Although he looked at him with a calm expression, Bu Fei subconsciously took a step back, his eyes full of fear.
"What do you want to do?"
"I am a useless person, what can I do?"
Gu Yanzong laughed at himself sarcastically, but everyone knew that he was capable of many things.
"Damn it, can I still be scared by a useless person like you?"
Chen Chengping and Xiao Hongyi looked at each other, comforted their families, and immediately walked towards the Gu family.
The two of them bowed to Bu Fei in a friendly manner, and then Chen Chengping spoke.
"Sir, no matter what the result is, please wait one more day. The Gu family has been kind to us, and it is disheartening to see them whipping us and threatening us with words!"
"And I believe that they will come back, so our family will also wait with the Gu family."
Xiao Hongyi even expressed his feelings.
"My brother is alive because of the Ran family's rescue. Our family must stand together with the Gu family."
Bu Fei is on the verge of losing control. Having been a bailiff for so many years, he has encountered all kinds of people and things. His patience has reached its limit.
"Okay, okay, it seems that I've been too kind to you, making you prisoners unable to recognize your own identities. Today I'll let you have a good taste of the whip!"
Bu Fei swung the whip in his hand fiercely. Chen Chengping and Xiao Hongyi, who were standing at the front, had their sleeves torn off in an instant.
The women of the Gu family felt guilty upon seeing this and rushed over to try to shield the two men. Chen Wan'er became even more anxious and angry when she saw her father being beaten.
"Stop hitting me, don't hit my dad..."
When the two families saw the officers taking action, they hurried over to fight back together.
Li Si, who loved to watch the fun, sat on the ground and clapped his hands, and his face almost had the words "beat them to death" written on it.
The other officers knew Bu Fei's temper, so no one dared to step forward to persuade him. But Qian Zheng was afraid that he would really beat the man up. If Ran Qingxuan came back and saw this, he would go crazy!
"Okay, you forgot everything your brother told you the day before yesterday, didn't you?"
Bu Fei's hand froze, and the whip also stopped.
The women in the Gu family were hit a few times, but each of them showed the tenacity and uprightness that only men have.
The man who was hit didn't make a sound, and looked firmly at Bu Fei who did it.
Just as Qian Zheng was thinking about how to persuade the Gu family to set off, Bu Wei caught up on horseback, covered in dew.
As soon as he saw the situation in front of him, his face instantly turned dark and he jumped off his horse.
"What's going on? I thought you all had left, why are you still here?"
Bu Fei had a sullen face and said nothing, while Qian Zheng recounted the whole process.
Even though Bu Wei was somewhat angry at the ignorance of the families, he was also moved by their persistence, especially the women of the Gu family.
Sighing, Bu Wei walked up to Madam Gu and said, "Wait half a day at most. This is the limit I can give you.
Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. Don’t force it! ”
After that, his eyes turned cold and he said sternly: "Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering our past relationship and being tough..."
