"Idiot! Just ignore it. There's no one around anyway. Come on, this thing is struggling a lot, come and help!"
"No!"
Ah Feng burst into tears and struggled desperately, but how could a weak woman like her possibly be a match for a group of strong and vigorous men?
Not only did she fail to break free from her restraints, but her trembling, snow-white skin only fueled the lust of the group of men.
"Haha...so white, so smooth!"
Seeing that the other officers were already groping the pretty widow, one officer couldn't squeeze in and was sweating profusely with anxiety.
"You beasts! You bunch of beasts! Let go of Ah Feng!"
The sight of the helpless old woman crying in the corner immediately caught the attention of the official.
After turning his gaze, a sinister light suddenly burst forth.
"Grandma, you still look quite charming..."
At the critical moment, a group of guillotines disguised as cooks rushed in.
The leader, Big Tiger, kicked the head constable in the body.
"Ouch!"
The head constable looked up and began to curse loudly.
"Do you ever see government officials doing their jobs? Are they out of their minds?"
"Is this how the government operates?"
Da Hu sneered, waved his hand, and a group of Blood Droplets suddenly rushed forward.
The two groups quickly got into a fight.
However, the fighting ability of these officials was, as one can imagine, questionable.
Compared to the fierce and professionally trained Blood Droplets, they looked like weak chickens struggling for air.
Before long, the group of officials were beaten so badly they were running for their lives, screaming in agony.
After tidying up her clothes and calming herself down, Ah Feng looked at the scene with confusion and then asked Da Hu, who seemed to be the leader.
"May I ask who you are, sir?"
Da Hu tried his best to give a gentle smile.
“Madam Wang, there’s no need to be nervous. We are just fur traders on the border. One day, we were robbed by the Xiongnu. Fortunately, General Wang Lie led his troops to rescue us, otherwise we would have all lost our lives.”
"We are deeply saddened to hear that General Wang has died on the battlefield, and have come to visit his widow."
The group of officials were beaten and kicked by the Blood Droplets, and now they were all bruised and swollen.
He knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy.
Da Hu glared at the group of people with hatred. Of course, they weren't the target this time. He waved his hand and threatened them.
"If I see you oppressing the people again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
"Hmph! Just because you're government officials you think you can act with impunity. I've got plenty of money. I can find some connections in the court and get them justice by reporting this to the authorities!"
"Get out!"
The group of officials then helped each other up and ran out as if they had been granted a pardon.
He didn't get to eat the meat he was supposed to, he didn't get his business done, and he even got a beating for no reason.
The group was furious, and the head constable was especially gritting his teeth, filled with hatred.
"Damn it! A bunch of troublemakers dare to mess with us government officials, I think they don't want to live!"
"Report this to Lord He and ask him to seek justice for us!"
After the officials had completely left, Ah Feng helped her mother-in-law up before kneeling down with profuse thanks.
"Thanks to you! Otherwise, I would have been defiled by these bastards today."
"Absolutely not!"
Da Hu quickly helped her up, saying, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Brother Wang Lie saved my life, it's only right that we do this!"
Seeing the bruises and swelling on his forehead, and the old woman's legs clamped by a wooden board, Da Hu finally asked a question.
"If it's just about getting back compensation, that's perfectly reasonable. Why are they being hunted down and beaten like this? Aren't these government officials utterly inhumane?"
With a long sigh, Ah Feng recalled the terrible state of being beaten and the embarrassment of the past two days, and her eyes reddened again.
It turned out that the reason she was chased to her doorstep by the officials was twofold: firstly, she was seeking justice for her deceased husband; and secondly, her deceased husband, Wang Lie, held a high-ranking position in the army, enjoyed considerable prestige, and was known for his straightforward and warm-hearted personality and excellent character.
Therefore, the other surviving family members who were owed pensions naturally took Ah Feng as their leader and put pressure on the government together.
In the eyes of the government, Ah Feng naturally became a thorn in their side. In order to quell the unrest as soon as possible, He Fang colluded with the yamen to launch a major crackdown on this poor woman.
At this point, Ah Feng was extremely aggrieved and burst into tears as she complained.
“Every time we appeal, the government office accepts our case normally, but it just disappears without a trace. They just brush us off by saying they have to follow the laws and procedures of the central government!”
“It’s not like we haven’t been waiting, but we’ve been waiting for so long and there’s been no news. If we get even a little emotional, we’re immediately labeled as disturbing the peace and are arrested and beaten.”
"There was really no other way, so I organized everyone to go to the streets and cause trouble in front of the county government office."
Ah Feng originally thought that, like before, the government would definitely try to fob them off, but she didn't expect that this time the county government would send people to beat them up on this pretext!
Not only himself, but the rest of his family members were also badly beaten.
Da Hu listened attentively, pretended to think for a while, and then said loudly, "Sister-in-law, I have a way that might help us get compensation."
"What?" Ah Feng's eyes twitched to the side, and she asked with considerable disbelief.
Following the instructions from above, Da Hu continued speaking.
"The Prime Minister is the head of all officials in our Great Xia Dynasty and wields considerable power. If he were to learn of this matter, he certainly would not stand idly by."
"In my opinion, since we're already causing trouble, we might as well make it bigger, shake up the court, and go directly to the Prime Minister to demand compensation!"
"ah!"
Upon hearing this suggestion, Ah Feng was struck dumb, her face filled with disbelief.
Who is the Prime Minister? He is above the emperor and second only to the emperor.
Why would they bother with commoners like them?
Moreover, our group is powerless and has no way of even getting in touch with the Prime Minister!
"Don't joke around, how can that be allowed?"
Why not?
Following Qin Yu's plan, Da Hu continued to coax, "To be honest, sister-in-law, I have been operating on the border for many years and have quite a bit of wealth. I also have acquaintances in the court who I can talk to."
"As long as you write a letter of complaint, with a pitiful tone, preferably one that can move the Prime Minister, I can have it delivered by an acquaintance in the court! So that the Prime Minister will know about this matter."
Ah Feng was an honest country woman, but she wasn't stupid. She looked Fan Da Hu up and down and felt that he didn't seem like the kind of powerful person she knew.
But then I thought about it again.
They even dared to attack the government officials, and they were so fearless, so they must really have some power.
I'm really out of options now. Rather than just sitting here and waiting to die, I might as well listen to his unbelievable suggestion and give it a try!
"However, my sister-in-law has never been to school and doesn't know how to write a complaint letter, and she doesn't know how to write many of the words either."
"No problem!" Da Hu seemed to have expected this. He winked at the person next to him, and the paper and pen he had brought in advance were brought up.
