Chapter 417
417 Aren’t you afraid of scaring the scholars?
Madam li regarded Cai Xiaolian as her younger sister, so Gu shouxin was her brother-in-law. How could she just stand by and watch?
She took Cai Xiaolian and her four sisters, and red and purple drove the carriage, leaving her own coachman at the crossroads Village.
The Li family’s coachman and fourth uncle Gu looked at each other.
“Brother, didn’t you say that you were going to the fields to tell your old man and big brother?” The coachman reminded.
“Oh, right! This big brother, why don’t you come with me? This second sister-in-law probably didn’t expect Madam li to not bring you along, so she locked the door!” Fourth uncle Gu looked at the tightly shut door and said helplessly.
“It’s fine. My wife is always like this. I’ll go to the village entrance and wait for the ox-cart, then I’ll take it to the county. Tell your old man not to worry too much. My Madam’s older brother is the brother-in-law of the Qing Prefecture’s magistrate.” The coachman said with a smile. He was afraid that the Gu family would be worried, so he added on. Every time Madam li came to the Gu family, he would drive the carriage over. He could see Madam Li’s attitude towards the Gu family. She really treated Lady Cai like a sister.
“Alright, I’ll follow my father. Big brother, do you remember the way to the village entrance? Do you want me to send you there?” Fourth uncle Gu heaved a sigh of relief and said politely.
“I remember! He had come a few times. You should quickly tell the old master!” The coachman waved his hand.
“Then I’ll take my leave first!” Fourth uncle Gu nodded and went directly to the field from the second branch.
The carriage driver slowly made his way to the village entrance.
……
In the county government’s carriage, Lu Zheng and Gu shouxin sat opposite each other. There were two bailiffs on each side of them, and two bailiffs outside drove the carriage.
“Second uncle, do you want to pee?” Seeing Gu shouxin’s calm face, Lu Zheng was very curious, so he asked.
Just now, the bailiff had seen him and Gu shouxin at the door of his house. He had told them the charges and wanted to arrest them. He had wanted to resist, but Gu shouxin had pulled him.
The two of them followed him obediently, but Gu shouxin didn’t let him know in advance. He was really curious in his heart!
He knew that it was impossible for Gu shouxin to cheat and that it must have been the Cheng family who had framed him. But why didn’t you say so in advance with such a calm look on your face? You won’t even let me resist.
“Stinky brat, don’t play any tricks!” The bailiff beside him drew the large blade at his waist and pointed it at him as he spoke fiercely.
“Brother, you’re holding a big saber and you’ve scared my nephew! Please take it back!” Gu shouxin glanced at the man.
“Hmph!” That person coldly snorted and didn’t keep his promise.
“Ah Yuan!” Gu shouxin smiled.
“Second uncle, speak! Are you going to pee?” Lu Zheng asked, his spirits lifted.
Gu shouxin’s mouth twitched,”you’re the heir of the Duke’s public house. Why do you pee so frequently?” You’ve been mistreated by your stepmother, and your body is weak?
“Shut up!” The man next to Gu shouxin pulled out a knife and glared at him fiercely.
“That’s enough! You can just point the knife at me, but you still want to point it at my second uncle? Aren’t you afraid of scaring the scholars?” Lu Zheng moved his body and looked at the Yamen runner who was pointing a knife at Gu shouxin.
Lu Zheng moved as soon as he finished speaking.
He kicked away the knife that was holding Gu shouxin, then grabbed the hand of the bailiff next to him, grabbed the big knife, and pulled Gu shouxin out of the carriage, ” “Second uncle, if you have any plans, please let me know!”
The two of them stood outside the carriage and did not run. Lu Zheng held a knife. The few bailiffs were stunned by his move and did not dare to act rashly.
