The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

Following the butler's loud shout, the servants who were originally carefully trimming the vegetation and were in a harmonious atmosphere with each other, suddenly gathered together quickly as if they had received some kind of instruction.

Their movements were in perfect unison, as if they had rehearsed countless times, and in the blink of an eye they surrounded Zhao Shao.

The butler stood in front of the crowd, staring sharply at Zhao Shao in front of him, and asked in a stern tone:

“Who are you anyway?

What are you doing coming to our house?"

At this moment, Zhao Shao felt mixed emotions and had an expression on his face that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Faced with the housekeeper's questioning, he could only shake his head helplessly, waving his hands while explaining repeatedly:

"My name is Zhao Shao, and as you just said, I am indeed just a bumpkin from the countryside.

But I am telling the truth!

I was really brought back by your young master!"

However, the housekeeper obviously did not buy Zhao Shao's words.

He would rather choose to believe the reports of those servants than to believe Zhao Shao's excuses.

The butler snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain and suspicion, and responded coldly:

"Stop talking nonsense here!

I have just checked with the servants, and they all said they have never seen anyone like you.

Therefore, I advise you to just give up resistance, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude to you!

You will be in trouble when the time comes!"

Zhao Shao said helplessly:

"Every word I said is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate it carefully.

Maybe your servants lied?

In this case, wouldn't it be a misunderstanding?"

Before the housekeeper could say anything, the servant couldn't wait to start accusing him:

"Stop talking nonsense here!

I have personally visited the young master's yard and checked, and the young master has never come back.

As for you, God knows how you got in, you'd better just admit your mistake!"

Hearing the servant's words, Zhao Shao was immediately furious. He even forgot to mention that Wang Shi was out on business and started cursing:

"Damn, you can judge everything just by taking a look?

You are so amazing! "

The butler spoke again:

"Hmph, look at me. I told you there's no such thing. You'd better just accept the reality."

At this time, servants and many retainers quickly gathered together, forming a circle and surrounding Zhao Shao tightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Shao's anger grew stronger and stronger, almost burning up.

Without hesitation, he reached behind his back and pulled out the sharp blade that had been hidden in his belt. He raised it high above his head, glaring at the people around him with murderous and threatening eyes, and roared:

"Whoever dares to take another step forward will be killed by me today!"

However, these servants did not retreat at all because of his intimidation. They still held various weapons in their hands and moved forward towards Zhao Shao step by step firmly and slowly.

In desperation, Zhao Shao had to frantically swing the machete in his hand, slashing left and right, trying to stop these people from getting closer.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense, as if a life-and-death battle was about to break out.

At this moment, a guard in charge of the gate finally arrived here slowly and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Stop everyone!"

At the same time, the butler also hurriedly issued an order: "Stop everything!"

After hearing the shout, the group of servants who were besieging Zhao Shao and Zhao Shao himself all turned their eyes to the guard who had arrived late. Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for what he would say next.

The guard said with lingering fear:

“Phew…Luckily we arrived in time, otherwise we would be in big trouble.

This person was indeed brought back by the young master."

As he spoke, he wiped away the beads of sweat that oozed from his forehead.

The butler looked puzzled and asked in a louder voice:

"What did you say?"

There was a hint of surprise and confusion in his voice.

The guard quickly pointed at Zhao Shao and explained in a firm tone:

“Yes, he was indeed brought back by the young master.

But before the young master left, he specifically told me to keep a close eye on him.

However, when I returned to the young master's yard, I found that he had disappeared. This is all due to my negligence and failure to fulfill my duty of guarding. Please punish me."

After saying this, the guard lowered his head deeply, his face full of guilt.

At this time, Zhao Shao put his hands on his hips and muttered angrily:

"Humph, see, I told you it was a misunderstanding, but you didn't believe me."

He looked at everyone with a look of grievance, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Hearing this, the servants looked at each other, then returned to their original seats and continued to deal with the matters at hand, as if the thrilling farce had never happened.

The whole scene instantly returned to its former calm and order.

However, at this moment, there was still one person in the center who seemed particularly nervous. That person was the servant in charge of gathering information.

He was pale, his legs weak, and he walked tremblingly to the housekeeper. He fell to his knees with a plop, begging in a sobbing voice:

"Master Steward, I deserve to die!

It's all my fault for not seeing the situation clearly, which led to such a disaster today. Please show some mercy and forgive me this time!"

The butler twitched his lips slightly, revealing a seemingly friendly but actually ironic smile, and said sarcastically:

"Xiao Si, I've treated you so well over the past two years. I never thought you would betray my trust in you like this."

As he spoke, a hint of deep disappointment suddenly flashed across his originally calm eyes, mixed with a hint of anger, but more of it was a feeling of helplessness that could not be accurately described in words.

Then, the butler's face suddenly changed, and he looked vicious and fierce, and shouted:

"Humph! Tell me! Who instructed you to frame him?"

Faced with this situation, Xiao Si couldn't help but feel nervous, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and he stammered:

"Really...it was really just my personal behavior. There was absolutely no one else's instructions."

Hearing this, the butler couldn't help but sneered and said sarcastically:

"Okay, okay, you still won't tell the truth now, right?

Someone is coming!

Give me some family discipline!"

The sound was so loud that the whole room seemed to tremble slightly.

Just now, Xiao Si was just feeling a little nervous, thinking that perhaps the housekeeper would be as tolerant and generous as before and let him go.

However, at this moment, when he heard the words "house punishment", he was instantly frightened out of his wits, urine flowed out uncontrollably, his legs began to tremble violently, and he said tremblingly:

"I said!

I said!

The eldest young master ordered me to do everything!

I was just about to go and get some information when I accidentally bumped into the young master.

The eldest master saw me and asked me why I was in such a hurry, but I was too scared to tell the truth.

Who would have thought that the eldest young master would make a big fuss about me bumping into him.

I really don't want to be punished by the eldest master, so I have no choice but to tell you the task you assigned to me.

The eldest young master then threatened me, ordering me to tell you that the young master had not yet returned, and also gave me a bag of reward silver, saying it was a reward for me.

As he spoke, Xiao Si frantically took out the packet of banknotes from his clothes, and then continued to beg:

"I beg you, Master Steward, to be kind and spare Xiao Si this time!

Xiao Si promises that he will never make the same mistake again! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Si was seen like a frightened rabbit, banging his head against the ground like a chicken pecking at rice, making a crackling sound.

Every time he kowtowed was filled with fear and despair, as if only this could express his deep desire for forgiveness.

At this moment, the housekeeper showed a guilty look to Zhao Shao and said sincerely:

"I'm so sorry to have embarrassed you. Please forgive me."

After saying this, he tilted his head slightly, looked at the guard beside him with sharp eyes, and waved his hand gently.

The guard who received the order immediately understood what he meant and quickly walked up to Zhao Shao. He grabbed his arm with a respectful yet anxious attitude and said in a low voice:

"Brother, please be merciful and leave with me. Don't cause any more trouble. I beg you, even if it means it!"

Zhao Shao originally wanted to stay and witness the final fate of the servant named Xiao Si, but faced with the guard's earnest request and constant urging, he realized that he could no longer stay here.

Although he still felt unwilling, he had no choice but to follow the guards and leave.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on people.

One day, he accidentally learned about Xiao Si's fate from a servant who came from the same place as Xiao Si.

It is said that Xiao Si suffered severe punishment from the Wang family for violating family rules. He was subjected to cruel family discipline, which crippled his legs and made him unable to walk normally ever since.

Not only that, he was ruthlessly expelled from the mansion afterwards, abandoned outside, and left to fend for himself...
