Chapter 334: The Account is Charged to the Marquis of Linyang
Last night, Huai Ge'er and his brothers had a long talk all night. Huai Ge'er learned about what had happened in the family in recent years, and he also learned about what the Linyang Marquis Mansion had done in the past few days.
Huai Ge'er was riding on a horse at this moment, thinking about what his younger brothers said last night, and he was still full of anger!
——"The daughter of the Marquis of Linyang brought people to smash our house. Xingxing was injured in the face when she was protecting Xu'er! Of course, we didn't let them get away with it either. We smashed their residence that day! But the woman was very vicious. She wanted to whip Master Mao with a horsewhip. Xingxing gave the woman anesthetic powder, which made her look very embarrassed. She suffered a lot and hated Xingxing. Brother, you made the woman look ugly today with her hair disheveled. She will definitely hate you. She may come to cause trouble again then."
Huai'er tightened the reins and urged the horse to gallop faster, shouting "Go" and galloping towards the residence of the Marquis of Linyang in the back mountain.
The people in Linyang Marquis' Mansion are really going too far!
However, when Huai'er and his men arrived at the Linyang Marquis's residence, they discovered that the culprit, Bai Huanqin, had already returned to the capital yesterday!
When steward Bai Rong saw Huai Ge'er coming with great force and the soldiers behind him seemed to be using them as sacrifices, he was so scared that he retreated like rabbits. He was once again glad for the decision he made - taking advantage of the Second Miss's coma and sending Bai Huanqin directly to the carriage back to Beijing on the pretext of worrying about her health.
He knew that by "making decisions on his own", he was actually giving the Second Miss a platform. When the Second Miss woke up, she would definitely scold him.
He was fine with being scolded or even punished.
The main thing is that the master will remember his kindness in his heart.
When Bai Rong came back from Liu's villa yesterday, he asked someone to investigate and found out that the eldest son of the Yu family had joined the army a few years ago.
When I saw him wearing armor yesterday, he didn't look like an unknown soldier. He must be a general in the army!
It's not that they in the Linyang Marquis' Mansion are afraid of generals or not, the main reason is that everyone knows that some military ruffians can be really reckless when they go crazy!
——Thinking of this, Bai Rong felt a little proud again.
He is really very smart.
However, he did not expect that when Huai Ge'er saw that Bai Huanqin was not there, he did not get angry or anything. Instead, Huai Ge'er waved his hand, and his personal soldiers surrounded Bai Rong with a ferocious look.
Bai Rong was still a little confused. No, the second young lady who made you hate her has left, why are you surrounding me?
Huai Ge'er smiled coldly at him and waved his hand. The soldiers knocked Bai Rong down and started beating him!
Bai Rong screamed in pain, not understanding at all. The "culprit" the Second Miss was gone, so why were they still beating him?
Huai Ge'er watched coldly from the side without intervening. At most, he reminded the soldiers quietly: "Don't beat him to death."
The soldiers are all veterans of the battlefield and are very sensible.
He just beat Bai Rong half to death and then stopped.
Bai Rong was lying on the ground like a pile of mud, groaning and calling out, "...you, you guys..."
He hasn't figured it out yet!
Why beat him?!
Huai Ge'er seemed to see through his thoughts. He stepped forward and tapped Bai Rong's shoulder with the tip of his shoe: "Why do you think we should hit you? Haha, I will naturally blame the entire Linyang Marquis Mansion for the trouble caused by your second young lady! I heard that you were also very arrogant and domineering before? Isn't it wrong to hit you?"
Bai Rong felt so much pain all over his body that he was unable to speak.
Finally, he could only wheeze and curse weakly: "We...we, the Marquis, will not let you go..."
"Oh." Huai'er scratched his ear with his backhand. "You can just ask your Lord to go to the Golden Palace and sue me. Then we can talk about how you bullied the people."
The current emperor is kind and hates the powerful and meritorious who bully the common people. Huai'er heard on the battlefield that a certain minister in the capital collected 70% of the rent from the tenants on his farm. When the emperor found out, he immediately dismissed him from his official position and forced him to go back to being a tenant who was charged a high rent.
Bai Rong naturally knew this too.
They didn't care about this in the past because the common people in these remote areas had no way to file a complaint, so they naturally acted recklessly.
But this...
He's clearly not threatening!
Bai Rong had a mouthful of old blood in his throat, and he didn't know whether to swallow it or not.
After beating the enemy, Huai Ge'er waved his hand and called to the soldiers below: "Let's go!"
In this matter, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. He will go to the Linyang Marquis Mansion to settle the matter!
Of course, before leaving, Huai Ge'er did not forget to warn Bai Rong: "...you should build a tomb in the back mountain well! If you dare to bully the people around you again in the future, I will never let you go! Do you hear me?!"
Bai Rong felt great pain all over his body, and he also knew that Huai Ge'er was not easy to deal with, so how could he dare to resist? He responded with a trembling voice.
Huai Ge'er, with his cloak fluttering, led his team on horseback passing by Nantuo Village.
Many villagers in Nantuo Village were instinctively afraid when they saw these people riding on tall horses - this was because of the shadow cast by the Linyang Marquis' Mansion.
But someone recognized Huai'er and looked at him from a distance with suspicion. The more they looked, the more they thought he looked like Huai. Then they called out tentatively, "Is it... Huai'er from the old Yu family?"
When Huai Ge'er saw the man, he grinned and dismounted: "Isn't this Uncle Zhao? Yes, it's me."
When Huai Ge'er made this recognition, the villagers of Nantuo Village were all excited!
Everyone was running around telling each other, oh my god, Huai'er from the Yu family has made it big and has returned as a general!
General!
So impressive!
How come the Yu family is so lucky, with someone being both a top scholar and a general!
The villagers of Nantuo Village no longer dare to express envy!
This, this is something I can’t envy!
At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds: don't wait until later, since they had just moved the tomb not long ago, why not move it again now!
Move all the graves to the vicinity of Yu’s home!
Isn't the Yu family so lucky? !
These days, the topic of conversation among the villagers revolves around the Yu family.
As they chatted, they counted carefully and actually found some clues: "Haven't you noticed?... The Yu family seemed to have started to get lucky seven or eight years ago. That was the year they picked up Yu Xingxing!"
The villagers nearby thought about it carefully and realized that it was true!
At that time they called Xingxing "Little Fuwa"!
But this title is somewhat of a joke.
But who would have thought that Xingxing really brought continuous good luck to the Yu family!
Xingxing, you are truly a lucky girl!
"Ah, you can't be envious. Who among us can be as courageous as Wei Erniang? At that time, we were still suffering from the disaster and there was not enough food at home. Who would dare to bring a money-losing girl home?"
"This is good deeds being rewarded! What do you know?"
