Chapter 308 Little Sister Su Bao, I have a favor to ask you!
"What is it?" Fu Lin was initially surprised by Tang Bugui's identity, and upon hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Those people caused a disturbance and even injured members of the Tang family!" the constable said anxiously.
Little Su Bao's expression changed instantly, and she rushed out.
Tang Bugui hurriedly caught up with the little dumpling, his eyes filled with envy and a hint of jealousy...
But more than anything, she felt grateful. It was clear that in just a few months, the little dumpling had truly come to regard the Tang family as her own!
Several old women and old men were lying on the ground at the meat stall east of the yamen gate.
They clutched their stomachs and wailed, while several children lay on the ground foaming at the mouth, looking like they were on the verge of death.
"You heartless bastards, feeding us diseased pork, you have no conscience!"
An old woman was clutching her stomach, her face deathly pale.
She grabbed Tang Qi by the collar and punched him repeatedly.
Tang Qi frowned, but because his mother had said that he should not hit women casually, he held back!
Moreover, my elder brother also said that this is a critical moment in the power struggle between the county magistrate and the Wu family, and we must remain calm.
Tang Qi stared at the old woman with a tense expression and furrowed brows.
"I didn't. All the pork in our family is good, and we don't give you any sick pigs to eat!" Tang Qi frowned, but still replied.
"Bullshit! If your meat were good, how could my grandson have eaten it and passed himself unconscious? I bet you've been selling inferior goods..."
The old woman's shouting was quite loud, but her crying seemed somewhat insincere.
The scent of dogwood on the handkerchief was rather pungent.
Tang Qi clenched his fists, his face somewhat gloomy.
The old man next to the old woman, who had been keeping his eyes down, suddenly went berserk. He grabbed a meat cleaver and smashed it down on Tang Qi's head.
Tang Qi was being held by several old women and couldn't free his hands for a moment.
Little Su Bao ran out with her short legs and just happened to see this scene.
"Second Brother..." came Xiao Su Bao's sharp voice.
The little dumpling's eyes widened in surprise. Ignoring everything else, she grabbed the sword from the constable's hand and threw it away.
"Su Bao Gu..." The yamen runner was startled and hurriedly tried to grab her, but it was too late!
"Oh my god..." The constable was already terrified. When he came to his senses, he ran over as fast as he could.
Tang Bugui stood behind Xiao Subao and was stunned when he saw this scene.
The speed of that broadsword was so fast that even he found it hard to believe.
Little Su Bao, oblivious to what he was thinking, ran even faster.
The broadsword struck the meat cleaver precisely, without missing a beat.
The immense force caused the old man's hand to go numb, and the meat cleaver crashed to the ground, piercing through his foot.
The broadsword, however, was stuck diagonally between the legs of the little boy lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth...
The little boy was so frightened that he peed himself and ran away, showing no signs of illness whatsoever.
"Waaah, I'm so scared! My bird is going to fall!" The little boy cried loudly, completely distraught.
"Is Second Brother alright? Does it hurt anywhere?" Little Su Bao rushed to Tang Qi, anxiously looking her second brother up and down.
Tang Qi's heart softened, and his eyes were filled with warmth.
He was about to speak when he saw that the old woman had gone mad.
She grabbed the meat cleaver that was stuck in her old man's foot and chopped it down directly at Xiao Su Bao's head.
"You brat, I'm going to kill you!" She glared at Xiao Su Bao with hatred.
However, in the next instant, a figure rushed over...
Guard Ling happened to be passing by and kicked him hard...
The general must be very happy that he protected the young girl!
He turned around and subconsciously glanced at his own general, just in time to see Tang Bugui slowly retracting his foot.
"You audacious scoundrels, daring to attempt murder in front of me! Guards, arrest them all!" Fu Lin's face darkened, and his expression instantly turned grim upon seeing these people.
He recognized these people; they were from the Wen family!
The Wen family!
What a fine literary family!
"Son-in-law, you have to stand up for your aunt! These scoundrels should be beaten to death with sticks. Don't let them fool you..." The old woman clutched her stomach and wailed.
Fu Lin coldly stared at this distant relative of the Wen family. If these people hadn't been so outrageous, he probably wouldn't even remember that such a person existed...
"You unruly people, did you hear me? My son-in-law will arrest you all!" Granny Wen yelled.
Old Man Wen glanced at Fu Lin, then clutched his bloodied foot and burst into tears.
"Young master, look, that brat hurt my foot..." Old Man Wen glared at Xiao Su Bao secretly, wishing he could chop her off.
Little Su Bao frowned as she looked at the old man and his family in front of her.
"You guys are so mean!" the little dumpling said angrily.
They were the ones who wanted to kill my second brother.
"You brat, how dare you talk nonsense! I'll tear your mouth apart!" Granny Wen glared fiercely at Xiao Su Bao, clutching her chest.
Although she was afraid of Guard Ling and his men, she naturally didn't take Xiao Su Bao, a little girl who clearly had no status, seriously.
Little Su Bao stared at them with a stern face and her beautiful big eyes...
The faces of those people were shrouded in dark karmic obstacles, making them look particularly frightening.
"You have no chance!" The little dumpling protected Tang Qi, and seeing the injury on her second brother's face, Xiao Su Bao felt heartbroken.
She glared back at the old woman.
This appearance doesn't seem to have much of a murderous intent; it just makes people feel that it's soft, cute, and adorable.
"What a beautiful young girl!" someone couldn't help but exclaim from the side.
The others nodded in agreement.
Little Su Bao glared angrily at Fu Lin: "Uncle Fu, they're so mean, so mean! They wanted to kill Second Brother..."
"You're talking nonsense! That was just an accident. I think you're the bad guys. Don't you think so, son-in-law..." Old Man Wen immediately cried out in protest.
The people all looked at Fulin, their eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of bewilderment...
Most of the people who came today knew about the conflict between the Wu family and the county magistrate.
But the county magistrate's in-laws...
The group of people in the shadows exchanged glances, their eyes filled with mockery.
This was a show they staged on purpose!
Fu Lin glanced indifferently at the old woman and her family, his eyes scanning the crowd out of the corner of his eye.
He slightly raised his eyelids and waved his hand: "Arrest him!"
Immediately afterward, the constables took action. They didn't touch Tang Qi and Xiao Su Bao, but directly arrested the entire family of three.
"Oh dear, son-in-law, what are you doing?" Granny Wen exclaimed excitedly, her eyes filled with anxiety.
This is completely different from what they expected!
It's not that Wen Shi was in charge of the backyard of the Fu family.
Now that Fulin has no legal wife, it's only a matter of time before Lady Wen is made the official wife...
Seeing that Fulin remained silent, Granny Wen quickly continued to speak.
"Son-in-law, your men are blind and have arrested the wrong people! Arrest these troublemakers immediately! Why are you arresting us? We are the victims!"
The yamen runners completely ignored these people; their county magistrate and the Tang family had been inseparable lately.
They were also in their honeymoon period.
"I'm arresting you. Even princes are subject to the same laws as commoners. You may be distant relatives of my concubines, or even my own brothers, but I will still act in accordance with the law!" Fu Lin said coldly.
The disgust in his eyes was palpable!
If it weren't for the inconvenient location, he would have really wanted to beat those guys up.
"My lord, we want to sue them for murdering my brother and me..." Tang Qi stared coldly at the group of people, then clasped his hands in a fist and said to Fu Lin.
He could tolerate these people hurting him, but they absolutely could not tolerate them hurting his family's children!
Little Su Bao is the lifeblood of the Tang family; she's someone they can't afford to touch.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Young master, they're spouting nonsense, you must stand up for us!"
Even now, Old Man Wen still believes that Fulin must have taken it up high and put it down gently...
“Making decisions? Aren’t I making decisions for the people under my jurisdiction?” Fu Lin looked coldly at the old man in front of him, without any emotion.
The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned to look at the crowd.
This is completely different from what they said before!
"No, sir... no, we were wrong, we were blinded by greed and had a nightmare. Please have mercy and let us go!"
Granny Wen reacted the fastest and quickly called out.
Didn't those people say they would join them in causing trouble?
Those who were just lying on the ground are gone; now only the Wen family members remain.
The old woman had a vague feeling that something was wrong...
Little Su Bao raised her eyebrows and looked at them.
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded..."
She murmured to herself, and only Tang Qi, Yun Qi, and Mo Bao beside him could hear her clearly.
The instant Xiao Su Bao finished speaking, a clap of thunder flashed across the sky...
In an instant, lightning struck, hitting the old woman and the old man.
They didn't even spare their grandson.
There was also a young couple hiding in the crowd who were struck by lightning.
The constables released them without touching them.
"My God!" Someone immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
Tang Qi's expression changed slightly, and he reached out and pulled Xiao Su Bao's head into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, be good!" he whispered to the little dumpling.
Little Su Bao wasn't scared; she knew that lightning wouldn't hurt her!
She wanted to say something, but Tang Qi held her tightly in his arms.
The little dumpling simply didn't move.
Yun Qi seemed to be deep in thought, and her gaze towards Xiao Su Bao held a more scrutinizing and inquisitive look.
Just a moment later, he felt his hand being grabbed.
It's calligraphy...
This child...
I'm still really afraid of lightning!
"Mo Bao, call me Second Uncle, and Second Uncle will buy you candied hawthorns," Yun Qi suddenly said with a grin to his nephew.
Little Mo Bao turned his head away, completely ignoring his second uncle.
After a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, the sky cleared, and the June sun shone brightly, making it extremely warm.
"Buzz..." Electricity coursed through the five people, causing their hair to stand on end.
The youngest child rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Arrest them, lock them in the dungeon, and find out if they've committed any other crimes besides what happened today!" Fulin said sternly.
Old Man Wen opened his mouth anxiously: "I... sizzle... I... made a mistake..."
“If an apology is enough, what’s the point of having a government office? If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place!” Fu Manduo walked out, carrying a chicken leg in his hand.
She handed one chicken leg to Xiao Su Bao, and ate the other one herself...
Little Su Bao was taken aback, but her little hand instinctively grabbed the chicken leg...
"Gurgle..." The little dumpling's stomach suddenly rebelled.
The little dumpling blushed and shyly hid in Tang Qi's arms.
"Magistrate, our little Su Bao is hungry. We'll go eat now and won't bother you any longer!" Tang Qi felt sorry for little Su Bao and was thinking of giving the little dumpling a good meal later!
Tang Bugui stood to the side, rubbing his stomach...
I'm actually a little hungry...
"Second Brother Tang, Father and I are treating you to a big meal today, you can't refuse!"
Fu Manduo reached out and took the little dumpling's hand, a smile in his eyes.
Tang Qi was taken aback. He didn't know what had happened, and subconsciously turned to look at Tang Bugui.
Could it be because of Tang Bugui?
That's right, Tang Bugui is a Grand General, and a county magistrate's rank is not as high as a Grand General's!
"Alright, but we won't go. Let Su Bao and..."
Tang Qi paused, seemingly unaware of Tang Bugui's name!
"My name is Tang Bugui!" Tang Bugui said.
"Well, let's go with Young Master Tang!" Tang Qi wasn't the kind of person who lacked tact. After saying that, he reluctantly handed Xiao Su Bao over to Tang Bugui.
Little Su Bao was stunned, and tightly gripped Tang Qi's sleeve with her little hand: "If Second Brother isn't going, Su Bao won't go either!"
Although the feast is tempting, being with my second brother is more important!
“Let’s go together!” Fu Lin looked at Tang Qi with a smile in his eyes. “You’ve suffered today. It was my fault. Let me deal with these matters first, then we’ll go together!”
Tang Qi was about to refuse when Yun Qi pulled him back...
He glanced at Yun Qi. His older brother had said that he wasn't very bright and that he should just listen to Mr. Yun.
"Then I thank you, Magistrate!" Yun Qi said with a fist and a fist salute.
Fu Lin nodded, but when he looked at Yun Qi, he did so with a hint of appreciation.
"Okay!" he said, then turned and left.
Fulin quickly dealt with the situation, and the crowd that had gathered to watch the spectacle dispersed as soon as they saw that the excitement had died down.
Fu Manduo breathed a slight sigh of relief. She held Xiao Su Bao's hand, her eyes filled with gratitude and affection.
She used to like Xiao Su Bao, but now she really likes Xiao Su Bao.
"Little Su Bao, what do you like to eat? We have Dong Pangzi Restaurant and Pang Yatou Restaurant here. Both of them have pretty good food!"
As Xiao Su Bao listened, her mouth watered rapidly. She swallowed hard to hold it in.
"Of course it's Dong Pangzi Restaurant!" a voice rang out at that moment.
Sanpang, clutching his belly, charged forward like a ball of flesh.
He seems to have gained some weight recently...
"Little Su Bao, it's been a long time!" Sanpang's cheeks were slightly flushed, and his eyes held a hint of inexplicable emotion.
"Hello, Brother Sanpang!" Little Su Bao smiled at Sanpang.
Sanpang scratched his head, glanced at Xiaosubao, then at Fumanduo beside him, and finally couldn't help but say, "Little Subao, I have a favor to ask you!"
