The people in the courtyard changed their expressions as soon as they heard the sound.
Why are the committee members here?
They are no pushovers; they wield considerable power now.
"Boss..."
Liu Qiuyue immediately looked at Huo Cheng.
The others also looked at Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng's eyelids twitched, and he had already made up his mind.
"Huo Yan, go open the door."
"good."
Huo Yan opened the courtyard gate.
Four or five men wearing red armbands stormed in aggressively.
Upon entering the courtyard, he looked around, searching for the Taoist nun mentioned by the informant.
There were quite a few people in the courtyard, but none of them were wearing Taoist robes.
However, the other party said that she was a very young woman who was reasonably good-looking, so after searching around, they fixed their attention on Yingyue behind Huo Cheng's wheelchair.
"Hey comrade over here, what's your name?"
The committee members were unfriendly in their tone.
A pair of eyes were fixed on Yingyue, as if they wanted to stare a hole through her.
As an auspicious beast, Yingyue was naturally able to sense the other party's malice.
She looked directly at them without flinching.
"Firefly Moon".
"Where's your letter of introduction? Show it to me. Where are you from, and where are you going?"
Wang Dashi concluded that Yingyue did not have a letter of introduction.
Press her for the letter of introduction.
Liu Qiuyue was a little nervous.
I'm worried that Yingyue doesn't have a letter of introduction.
Yingyue remained calm, turned around and went back into the house. From the innermost layer of her Taoist nun's robe, she found a brown paper envelope.
Worried about getting the envelope wet on the way down the mountain, I wrapped it in several layers of tape inside.
Therefore, even though Yingyue spent a long time catching fish in the river, it did not affect the letters inside.
She took it and walked into the yard.
He took out the letter of introduction from inside and handed it to Wang Dashi.
Eight days ago, the mountain received a notice that Taoist temples and monasteries were no longer allowed to exist.
As for those who were originally in the Taoist temple, they were to be sent down the mountain.
Because the checks at the foot of the mountain are very strict now, and you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere, the comrades in charge of the original Taoist temple issued letters of introduction to the eight of them after inquiring about their specific destinations.
It clearly states where they came from, why they came, and where they are going.
"Cheng Yingyue? Heading to Nancheng? Is her purpose to seek refuge with her childhood betrothed?"
Yingyue has the original owner's memories.
Therefore, when Wang Dashi read it aloud, she nodded repeatedly.
"Mmm-hmm."
"That's right, yes."
She answered so quickly that she looked a little silly.
However, Wang Dashi's words made the others in the courtyard somewhat suspicious.
Is this woman betrothed to someone she was born to?
Why doesn't she keep her distance from Ah Cheng?
And what about Ah Cheng? Did he know that the other party had a childhood betrothal?
Huo Cheng was indeed unaware that Yingyue had a childhood betrothal. However, his feelings for Yingyue were not what others thought.
Therefore, he did not focus his attention on the arranged marriage with Yingyue.
After Wang Dashi finished reading and returned the letter of introduction to Yingyue, Huo Cheng spoke up.
"Comrades, now that we've confirmed this is a misunderstanding, can we go and arrest the person who made the false report?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yan exclaimed, "Yes!"
He immediately added to what his brother had said.
"Yes, the other party came to report a good comrade with a letter of introduction without even knowing the facts. Comrades, you must arrest him."
The others in the courtyard echoed this sentiment.
That makes sense.
“Those with ill intentions have made you comrades come all this way for nothing. If you don’t hold them accountable, they will probably give false information again next time, which will only increase your workload.”
After her two sons spoke, Liu Qiuyue then expressed her own opinion.
The rest of the Liu family shared the same attitude.
Although the committee members are all very powerful, several members of the Liu family are also public officials.
Therefore, the committee members will still give them face on the surface.
"Don't worry, we'll handle it," Wang Dashi replied dismissively.
This is the best attitude they can show.
If anyone else dared to speak to the committee members like that, they would definitely be met with a barrage of rebukes.
The committee doesn't need anyone to teach it how to operate!
Huo Cheng's lips curled into a cold smile.
Watching Wang Dashi and his group arrive and leave so arrogantly.
"Brother, are we just going to let it go like this?"
After they left, Huo Yan closed the door and walked up to Huo Cheng with a displeased expression.
I feel that the committee members have gone too far in bullying us.
Even though his brother is now injured and no longer in the army, the Huo family is not someone to be trifled with.
We cannot allow a few bullies who rely on their master's power to take advantage of us.
Huo Cheng glanced indifferently at his younger brother, whose emotions were clearly on full display.
He gave a light scoff.
"Let's go eat."
Huo Yan...
Did his brother really just give up like that?
Seeing that Huo Cheng had no intention of continuing the conversation, Huo Yan quickly asked another question that had been on his mind.
"Who reported the silly Taoist nun?"
The words fell.
Huo Cheng, who was turning his wheelchair forward, raised his head and glanced at the house next door to the Liu family.
Huo Yan scoffed.
"That woman, Shen Hui?"
"No wonder. I was wondering why she left so readily. Turns out she went to report it. What a disgusting woman."
Huo Yan was quite moved when Shen Hui took the initiative to tell the Liu family that she admired Huo Cheng and was willing to marry him.
