Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back
Chapter 253 An edict from Kyoto
Yun Zhenzhen walked out and looked at him: "Master Xu, Ling'er is living well with me. She has no worries about food and clothing, and she is also very safe. Can you wait for a while before letting her return home?"
"Who do you think you are?" Xu Dahai, having been rejected, was somewhat humiliated and angry, and his words were no longer gentle. "My eldest daughter of the Xu family has been living in your house for a while and has been extremely wronged. Now that she has been found, there is no reason for her not to go home. You, a peasant woman, insist on stopping her from returning home. Are you trying to repay a favor?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a purse from his pocket and threw it over: "Here is fifty taels of silver, enough to cover your expenses for the time being. Don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Xu Dahai gestured back, and two men approached to pull Xu Ling'er's sleeves. Yun Zhenzhen kicked them away, "I'm a peasant woman, but Ling'er is also a living person. She has the right to choose where to stay. You can't force her to make a choice."
Xu Dahai's face was slightly angry. He was tired of talking to these country people in a pleasant manner.
"Come here, someone is trying to stop Miss Xu from returning home. Can you tolerate this? Come on, hurry up and attack!"
The dozen or so guards looked at each other, gripped their swords tightly, and stepped forward.
A dozen people and a dozen long knives made the surrounding villagers a little scared.
Ning Shan, who arrived late, kicked up a few small stones from the ground, caught them and bounced them at them.
The leading guards' swords flew out, shocking the villagers. Everyone was stunned. This Xiao Ning was not only a skilled martial artist, but even a stone flick had such powerful power...
However, he is just one person after all and cannot take care of every corner.
The person behind him immediately rushed forward, took a step forward, and the blade went straight towards Yun Zhenzhen who was at the front.
Qin Li, who rushed over, kicked the long sword away, but he was just an ordinary farmer after all, and he had not yet fully mastered the mediocre kung fu he had learned. He was ambushed by another guard when he was not paying attention.
The knife slashed across his right shoulder, instantly tearing his clothes and causing blood to flow out.
Yun Zhenzhen was shocked: "Boss!"
Qin Nan also ran over: "Brother!"
While running, he did not forget to use the stone-shooting skills he learned from Ning Shan, and soon knocked down the two men's swords.
Wang Ze also rushed out angrily with a broom in his hand: "You bunch of bastards, come and hit me if you dare. I am the son of the county magistrate, be careful or you will be in trouble."
The guard who was about to attack him became cautious after hearing this and attacked in the other direction, ignoring him.
The village chief roared, "You are lawless! You dare to kill people in our Qinjia Village? You really have no respect for the law. Everyone, let's fight them."
As the old man spoke, he hunched over and threw the hoe, hitting someone directly on the foot, making him scream in pain.
Old Lady Qin rushed directly to Xu Dahai and slapped him twice. When she saw the guards coming, she ran away quickly.
When Xu Linger saw this scene, she was both moved and angry. Her whole body was trembling. She raised her hand and picked up a stone from the wall and threw it out.
Bully me, let you bully me, and I will smash you to death.
The onlookers did not dare to get close, but they ran home, picked up brooms, hoes and other tools and started attacking from a distance.
Xu Dahai looked at the scene coldly and continued, "Just charge forward! As long as we can bring back the young lady, don't be afraid of other casualties, no matter if they involve the Xu family!"
Just then, a loud voice sounded behind him.
The County Magistrate has arrived——
The County Magistrate has arrived——
A majestic voice sounded, and the yard outside, which was a mess just now, became quiet in an instant.
Everyone looked back and saw that two more carriages had arrived at the gate of the yard, and many guards on horseback followed behind them, looking very majestic.
County Magistrate Wang stepped out of the carriage, his expression intimidating without anger: "Who is causing trouble in Qinjia Village? It's so disrespectful! Quickly state your name. Where is the village chief?"
During the time that the people of Qinjia Village had been together, no one had not seen the county magistrate. When they saw him, it was like seeing a life-saving straw.
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate! I am here."
"Sir, you must stand up for us. Someone is taking human life lightly." Old Lady Qin threw herself in front of the carriage. "In broad daylight, under clear sky, these thugs rushed into our village, shouting for war and killing, and even injured my third daughter-in-law. They have absolutely no regard for the law. County Magistrate, you must arrest them and put them in jail..."
Before he could finish his words, the county magistrate quickly opened the curtain, came to Yun Zhenzhen, and spoke with concern.
"Are you injured? Is it serious? Follow me and go see a doctor."
"No...it's okay." Yun Zhenzhen distanced herself from him without saying a word.
Lu Yunfeng looked at his empty palms and lowered his head dejectedly.
"That's the guy." Old Lady Qin pointed her finger directly at Xu Dahai's face. "He rushed in and started shouting for killing. He even said he wanted to kill everyone present. With him here, no problem."
Xu Dahai was startled and fell to his knees the next second. He had never expected that the county magistrate would come to this small village today, and he happened to run into him.
He knelt on the ground and said in a friendly manner, "Sir, please listen to my explanation. I came here today just to take the eldest daughter of the Xu family back home. I didn't mean to cause any trouble. This is all a misunderstanding."
"We'll talk about this matter later. I will take care of it myself. Now there is something more important." County Magistrate Wang gave a look to the yamen runners behind him. A group of yamen runners immediately stepped forward to arrest Xu Dahai, confiscated the swords of the remaining guards, and tied them all up together.
After dealing with the Xu family, County Magistrate Wang continued, "The two men beside me are messengers from the Yuzhou Post Station. They have an imperial decree from Kyoto. Everyone present, kneel down and receive it!"
When they heard that there was an imperial edict from Kyoto, everyone in Qinjia Village was shocked and immediately knelt down in a daze.
The messenger leaped down from his tall horse, unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, and read aloud: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole village seemed to be struck by lightning, and everyone's face was filled with shock.
They had also heard storytellers in town read out imperial edicts, and these words were included in them, which meant that it was an imperial edict personally issued by the one above them...
Oh my goodness, the Emperor actually issued an imperial decree to their Qinjia Village. They could actually witness this scene in their lifetime. They simply died with no regrets...
Grandma Wang had lived for fifty or sixty years and had never seen such a big scene. Her breathing suddenly became rapid and she couldn't catch her breath. She fainted in Aunt Zhao's arms.
Aunt Zhao looked at the scene and didn't dare to speak loudly. She could only quietly support Grandma Wang, and then pinched her philtrum. The old lady then woke up slowly and knelt straight down.
