Chapter 407 The Complainant

Anyone would find it strange that the uncle, whom he had never met before, came up and cried for help. Ping'er was even more brave and walked forward to stand beside Gu Shaoyu, even though his sixth uncle's abilities were not enough for him to protect him, but he still did so.

Sister-in-law Liu was busy watching what happened and didn't notice it. Instead, when Du Jingyi saw Ping'er's move, he felt a lot more relieved.

Finally, he showed some manly responsibility, which is really touching.

But soon, her thoughts were interrupted by the uncle's crying. He cried so hard that he couldn't control himself, and he spoke clearly, recounting his family's grievances from beginning to end.

"At the beginning, the third branch of the Gu family tricked us into investing in the company, saying it was a shipping business. It sounded amazing, and since all the previous participants had made money, many people followed suit. The Gu family has been famous in Qingshui Town for hundreds of years, and no one expected that the third branch would cheat."

"After making money a few times, they started to lose money. In the end, many people took their own house deeds and land deeds to gamble. Gradually, all the paddy fields were taken by the three families. If there were a few families who were not happy, they would force them to sell or buy."

As she spoke, she was wiping her tears, and her blushing face made people feel pity for her.

"You are not being very thorough. In business, there are always gains and losses. How can it be possible to make a profit without losses?"

"What this lady said is that if the people from the third house really used the money to do business, then we would have lost money and there would be nothing to say. However, the people from the third house took the money and did nothing. They used the money from the east house to pretend to win it back from the west house, and then deceived the west house to invest more money. In this way, in just a few years, they took over this piece of paddy field. Tell me, madam, if this is not a scam, what is it?"

The aunt had originally thought that there might be some misunderstanding, but now after listening to it she also felt that there was something fishy going on.

Although the third room also has shares in the shipping business, it is not big.

They have been busy being sad over the years and have never been to Qingshui Town, let alone heard about these things.

So he asked in a somewhat serious tone.

"If that's what you said, why didn't you make a fuss over the years? Or report it to the police? Why didn't you go?"

If there was a big fuss, or if the police were called, they would have heard some news anyway, but that was not the case, so the aunt was very suspicious of his motive for suddenly appearing here.

The uncle who had filed the complaint sighed when he saw this.

"The one who harmed us was the third son of the Gu family, and the one who was the parent official was the seventh son of the Gu family. After the old Marshal Gu and the sons of the Gu family died in the war, the old lady Gu was busy with her own affairs. How could she have the time and energy to take care of such trivial matters as ours?"

After hearing what this person said, the aunt was the first to discover the problem. She walked up to Gu Shaoyu and said.

"Shao Yu, we still need to find out more before making a decision."

Then he asked the uncle further questions.

"You said you had nowhere to turn to, so how did you find out about us coming here today? And you just happened to file a complaint. Is there someone behind the scenes who is giving you advice? Is it to make the head of the family take action against the family members as soon as he takes office?"

I have to say that my aunt has been in charge of the family for many years and she does have some skills.

The core of the question was asked in just one sentence, and the uncle's face quickly turned ugly. Du Jingyi, who was standing next to him, also felt embarrassed. He had originally thought that by performing such a scene, he could justify the search for the problem in the paddy field and thus lift the fig leaf of the third room.

Unexpectedly, my aunt saw through it.

Therefore, just when he was thinking about trying to smooth things over, he suddenly saw the uncle who was crying loudly a second ago suddenly changed his expression, pulled out a knife from his sleeve, and was about to stab Du Jingyi who was next to Gu Shaoyu.

It looked like an evil ghost that wanted to eat people, which scared all the women.

But Gu Shaoyu was quick-witted and agile, and even without any preparation, he kicked the man hard, hitting him right in the heart. His expression suddenly became full of murderous intent.

"court death!"

He walked forward and stomped hard on the arm of the man holding the knife. Instantly, the sound of broken bones was heard and the man screamed in pain.

Ping'er walked forward without any fear and kicked the knife far away. Then, learning the few skills taught by her uncle Zhao, she immediately locked the man's throat, leaving him with nothing but howls, without a chance to escape.

Such behavior really surprised the eldest sister-in-law Liu, but what was more important at the moment was Du Jingyi, so she immediately came over and asked.

"How is it, are you okay?"

Although Du Jingyi was a little frightened, he was fine.

Seeing that everyone looked worried, he could only suppress the fear in his heart and then spoke to everyone.

"It doesn't matter. The general acted quickly and the man didn't hurt me."

Fourth Aunt couldn't stand this kind of tactic of hurting people from behind, so she walked up to the man with anger in her eyes and kicked him. Then she put on the same expression she had when she was interrogated in the army and said cruelly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Who sent you? What do you want to do?"

The man's face turned pale with pain, but he still refused to speak. Seeing this, Fourth Aunt was not going to tolerate it anymore. She went up to him and dislocated his jaw, then repeatedly tortured his severed hand as if he were pinching an ant.

Seeing such a bloody scene, the eldest sister-in-law Liu and others all turned pale, except the eldest aunt and Gu Xiaolang, who were still better. Others such as the second aunt and the third aunt also broke out in sweat.

Du Jingyi noticed it, and hurriedly walked over to Gu Shaoyu and said.

"General, the guys are still alive. You and Fourth Aunt should probably stay away from them."

After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's hostility dissipated a little. He then glanced at the person on the ground, his expression eased a little, and turned around and spoke.

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, please get on the carriage first and go back to the ancestral hall to rest for a while, then we will return home."

"good."

As for this person, before Gu Shaoyu could speak, Fourth Aunt spoke with great interest.

"No one has taken action for so many years. Leave him to me. I will definitely find out who is behind this!"

Gu Shaoyu knew Fourth Aunt's abilities, so he didn't say any more words. He nodded and prepared to escort everyone away. When leaving, the eldest sister-in-law Liu even called Ping'er.

But when Ping'er raised her head, she smiled and said to her mother.

"Don't worry, mother. I am here to interrogate you with my great grandmother. Your son will have to go through hardships in the future, so let's start from now on."
