Okay, okay, you little devil, you're such a nuisance. There's nothing I can do about you.

Siyu stuck out her tongue, finally passing this hurdle of Fifth Senior Brother.

The fifth brother said helplessly to Siyu, "Okay! Ghost girl, if you feel wronged, tell your senior brother, okay?"

Long Linxiao listened and expressed his loyalty, "Don't worry! Fifth Brother, I will never let the girl suffer any injustice."

Fifth Brother, it depends on your performance.

Turning around, Fifth Senior Brother said to Siyu, "I'll go with you to the capital, and then we'll go to Senior Brother's place together. Senior Sister is due to give birth in a month or so. It'll only take a few days to get there. Let's take care of your affairs in the capital first. Once that's done, we'll go."

Siyu nodded, okay!

The group set off on their journey again. When they passed a place called Shuangfeng Town, they were going to stay at an inn. As a result, they saw a big bearded man beating a woman on the street. Originally, they were not good people and did not want to meddle in other people's business. However, the woman suddenly rushed up to them and kowtowed to them for help.

Please save me, I don’t want to be sold. I was just performing in town and singing songs with my grandfather, but this bully took a fancy to me and insisted on taking me to be his concubine. Please save me! Everyone listened to his crying and looked at the injuries all over his body, and then looked up at the bearded man.

He yelled, whip in hand, as he walked up to the crowd, raised his head proudly, pointed at them, and told them, "Stop meddling in my business! It's his blessing that I've fallen for this woman. No one in Twin Peaks dares to question me. Do you know who I am? Get the hell out of here, or I'll make sure you can't get out of Twin Peaks."

Don’t say I didn’t warn you, when the time comes, you’ll be covered in blood.

Everyone watched as this big man acted so arrogantly in broad daylight, yet no one stopped him. It really showed how morals of the world are going downhill.

Come on, go check it out. Long Linxiao called the secret guards and quietly left the crowd.

Bearded man, come on, stop interfering with my work. Come on, follow me, or I will chop your grandfather into pieces and feed him to the dogs.

After hearing what the big man said, the girl dared not struggle anymore and could only be dragged forward by the big man. Everyone looked at the girl's stubborn eyes, from the request for help full of desire to survive just now to the dead silence in her eyes now.

Siyu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and she didn't want a living life to be abandoned.

People on the street couldn't bear to see this... Siyu didn't care and stepped forward to stop the big man. Wait, did they let you go?

The man had never seen anyone as pretty as Xiang Siyu. Her delicate little face, the pores visible, her eyes big like black grapes, her eyelashes curled, the greedy man's saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth. He threw the girl he was dragging to the ground and rubbed her with his hands. "Oh, where did such a pretty girl come from? She's so pretty, so pretty! Come on, let's have fun, have fun, have fun. I will definitely make you feel comfortable, make you feel like you're in heaven, and I will definitely not let you down."

Hearing his foul language, Long Linxiao and his fifth senior brother kicked him out at the same time. The people watching the excitement on the roadside cheered loudly, "Good, good, good, good fight, scum, relying on the fact that he is the nephew of the county magistrate, he bullies the people unscrupulously, robs women, seizes shops, and collects protection fees, beat him to death, beat him to death!" Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and shouted curses.

Seeing the big man Luoshaihu being beaten, his group of little followers trembled in fear, and no one dared to step forward. However, there was a smart one among them. He quietly withdrew from the crowd and ran towards the county government office, ready to inform the county magistrate, telling him that his nephew had been beaten, and then to deal with this group of nosy people.

When the time comes, the county magistrate will see that I have done a good job in reporting the news and reward me with a sail. My position in the county magistrate's heart will be even more important. In the future, if there is any good thing, it will definitely be mine.

Originally, no one paid any attention to the servant running to the county government office. Everyone wanted to see where this county magistrate came from. He dared to be so arrogant and not only did he not serve the people, but he also allowed his nephew to oppress the people and rob decent women.

The Lose Lake man was still shouting, "Let me go, let me go quickly, don't you know who I am? I am the nephew of the governor of Shuangfeng County. If you dare to do this to me, I will definitely ask my uncle to put you in jail, torture you, cut you into pieces, and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves." Everyone saw that he didn't care about human life. It seemed that he did these things often.

The servant who ran back to the county government office shouted, "Master, master, something bad has happened. The eldest young master has been beaten by a group of outsiders." The county magistrate shouted angrily, "What trouble has he caused? He deserves to be beaten."

At this time, an old lady with silver hair came in with a cane. "What did you say? Who dared to hit my eldest grandson?" "Tell me quickly, who dared to hit my eldest grandson? Oh, it's so unfair. I can't live like this. You damn boy, you don't care about me, an old woman, anymore after becoming the county magistrate. Your eldest brother died in an accident to support your studies. You are the only son left. How could you be so heartless and let him be beaten? I, an old woman, can't live like this. You studied so much and got the third place in the imperial examination. You are an unfilial son. I will file a complaint with the emperor and sue you for being unfilial." The county magistrate was angry and helpless when the old lady scolded him. For so many years, just because the eldest brother died in an accident while earning money, the old lady put a burden on him. She ignored the burden of being the eldest brother. As long as the nephew wanted or wanted to do something, the old lady would make him do it no matter what method she used, regardless of whether it was illegal or not. Over the years, as the county magistrate, she had compensated him with so much money and had visited him to apologize so many times.

The old lady has always been giving her wife and children a hard time. Her son is sensible and obedient, and her daughter is lively and cute, but they still can't get the old lady's favor. She is always the one who gets bullied.

Enough, Mom, are you really my mom? All these years have passed, please stop bringing this up, okay? What exactly caused my brother's death? Do you think I don't know? I'm not saying it, not because I don't know, nor because I'm not angry. You keep blaming me for this. Are you my mom?

You've certainly supported me up, but since I started studying at the academy, I've earned most of my tuition by copying books. After I passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, my wife paid for all my tuition. And brother, did he die from falling while trying to earn money? He was climbing over a widow's wall and got beaten up. Please don't blame me, okay?

The old lady listened to her youngest son dare to refute her, took her cane and banged on the ground, "Shut up, shut up, don't talk about your elder brother like that. He was beaten to death just to make money to support you."
