When Gu Hong heard the noise outside, his expression immediately turned cold.
"Sisi, take Yun'er and rest in the house. Xiuwen, Xiuwu, the two of you come with me! As the men of the family, you must protect the women!"
After Gu Hong finished speaking, there was already a strong murderous look on his face.
The brothers Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu stood up without hesitation, followed him, and walked out quickly.
Gu Yuner's face showed a look of fear again.
"mother……"
She raised her head and glanced at Ana Shen worriedly.
"Don't worry, just leave this matter to Gu...let your father and the others!"
Shen Ningsi's tone was very gentle, but it was unquestionable.
Gu Yun'er was quickly infected by her tone and nodded very seriously.
Through this incident, Shen Ningsi also realized that Gu Hong treated them sincerely.
Sanyazi tied the man up directly and took him to Gu Hong's yard.
At this moment, the head of Wanning Village and many villagers gathered around.
"Gu Hong, don't think that just because you're a general now, you can look down on us common people. What did our Wang Er do wrong? You actually had him tied up and gagged!"
Wang Er's mother knew that Wang Er grew up with Gu Hong, so at this time, even though she knew that Gu Hong had become a general, she was not very afraid of him!
In her eyes, Gu Hong is still the same as her son.
I don’t know what the old emperor was thinking, he actually let such a person be a general!
The village head and the others had just gone to look for Gu Yuner, so they had more or less guessed the truth of the matter. When they looked at Wang Er again, their eyes were very complicated.
"What crime did he commit? Humph! San Yazi, take the cloth off his mouth and let him tell the villagers in person what crime he committed!"
Gu Hong's tone was extremely cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Wang Er originally wanted to get away with it casually, but when he saw the murderous intent in his eyes, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
He grew up following Gu Hong and knew this man's character and mentality.
"Mother...I...I..."
Wang Er's voice was trembling when he spoke, and at this time he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Gu Hong's eyes.
"You bastard! Tell me! If you dare to tell a lie today, I will peel off your skin!"
Gu Hong raised the corner of his mouth, which made people feel a hint of evil and a chill in their hearts.
Wang Er knew that Gu Hong was a man of his word.
At this moment, she didn't rush over to him and shout at him to kill him, which meant that Gu Yun'er was not in any danger of her life.
"Mom! I was possessed by a ghost for a moment. I saw Gu Yun'er picking up pearls from the river and wanted to snatch them away! I accidentally pushed her into the water, and then Gu Xiuwen saw her, so he jumped in to save Gu Yun'er. Later, I saw Gu Xiuwu and was possessed by a ghost for a moment. I was afraid that he would tell Gu Hong about this, so... so..."
Wang Er spoke tremblingly, and there were many details in the story that he didn't dare to say at all.
But just based on these few words, the people of Wanning Village were able to imagine what happened at that time.
Most people looked at Wang Er with contempt in their eyes.
"Humph, that girl really deserves it. She didn't even bother sharing what she found with everyone. Everyone in the village knows that your family eats and drinks delicious food all day long!"
When Wang Er's mother heard her son say this, an expression of indifference appeared on her face.
"Gu Hong, the fact that you're standing here peacefully means Gu Yun'er is fine. You've also been holding my son Wang Er hostage for most of the day. I think we should just end this matter here! But after you sell that pearl, you have to give us half of the money!"
Wang Erniang spoke with a look of grievance, as if her family was the one at a disadvantage after getting half of the pearls.
Pearls are very valuable in this day and age!
Even the ugliest pearls could be sold for several hundred copper coins, so their family would get a considerable share!
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so shameless and even ask me to split half with you!"
Gu Hong looked at Wang Erniang coldly. If there weren't so many villagers from Wanning Village standing around, he really wanted to chop off this woman's head to see what was inside!
Wang Er's mother also clearly felt the murderous intent in Gu Hong's eyes and couldn't help but shiver.
"What? Do you really think that what you found belongs to you? My son was tied up in the woods and suffered so much. If you don't share this pearl with us, this matter will never end!"
Wang Erniang said with her neck stiff.
"I can give you half of the pearl."
After Gu Hong finished speaking, the hot-tempered Gu Xiuwu was about to speak, but was stopped by Gu Xiuwen beside him.
Then she shook her head at him.
"Trust him."
Gu Xiuwen spoke seriously, and Gu Xiuwu finally calmed down.
"Hmph, that's more like it. Let's take that pearl as one hundred taels, and your family give us fifty taels of silver, and we'll be done with it!"
Although Wang Er's mother had never seen how big the pearl was, the fact that her son was able to afford it showed that the pearl was not small!
"You can take the silver, but I'm also going to push Wang Er over there and tie one of his hands! I'll give you the silver after an hour."
Gu Hong spoke coldly.
What his Yun'er and Xiu Wen experienced, this Wang Er also has to experience!
"Bah, Gu Hong, you want to kill someone! Don't think that just because you're a general now, you can take human life so lightly!"
Wang Erniang was anxious!
If Wang Er was thrown down with one hand tied, he would definitely be in great danger.
"Shut up! If we hadn't arrived in time today, if Yun'er's mother hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Yun'er would have already..."
When Gu Hong said this, the look he gave Wang Er became even colder!
He will never let this bastard go so easily!
"Gu Hong, General Gu! Brother Gu, I already know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. Just for the sake of us growing up together, please let me go this time..."
Wang Er's voice was a little trembling.
"If you really wanted to grow up with us as children, you wouldn't have brought people to smash Xiuwu's head, you wouldn't have eaten Sisi's placenta, and you certainly wouldn't have pushed Yun'er into the river this time because of a pearl, preventing Xiuwu from finding someone to rescue them!"
Gu Hong spoke word by word.
When Wang Er heard him say this, he lowered his head in shame.
"Aren't these all things of the past? And didn't you also turn a disaster into a blessing? You became a general, he, and she became a county lady! Look at Wanning Village, which family is as respectable as you!"
Wang Er's mother continued speaking with an indifferent look on her face.
It seemed as if their family had become the heroes of Gu Hong's family.
