Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
You Huaijie sent someone to find a few famous doctors to treat You Qisheng. They took turns to use countless methods, including acupuncture, massage, and medicinal bath. However, there was no improvement at all. Instead, it made him turn purple.
You Huaijie’s face was gloomy. He wished he could flatten Youjia Village now.
Furious, he found his subordinates again. ‘What has Youjia Village been doing recently?’
With so many people trapped here, it was impossible for them not to have any reaction at all.
On the other hand, the entire Youjia Village was quiet. Lintian Village, which was next door, was so frightened that it almost fell out.
This was too abnormal, so much so that You Huaijie couldn’t make use of their weakness even if he wanted to.
The guard reported in detail, “I didn’t find anything unusual.”
You Huaijie was certain that the more this was the case, the more suspicious Youjia Village was.
He suddenly stood up, followed with two teams of skilled soldiers to prevent any accidents.
He passed by a farmer’s house. There were many people coming and going at the door. When they saw the officials arrive, they quickly closed the door.
If there was nothing fishy going on, why should they feel guilty?
With a cold expression, You Huaijie walked to Zhao Sheng’s door and ordered the guard to kick it open.
“Bang bang bang—”
The guards kicked the door a few times, but it did not budge. A few more guards rushed up and kicked it together.
It still didn’t move.
One of the guards said carefully, “Sir, this is ebony. It’s not easy to break through.” He also hinted with his eyes that You Huaijie might as well let the villagers inside open the door. By the time they broke through, they would probably have run out the back door.
You Huaijie’s face was ashen. “Useless!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.
Village Chief Zhao stuck his head out and saw You Huaijie. He cupped his hands and said, “Sir, why are you here?’
You Huaijie didn’t waste his breath on him and barged in with his men.
As soon as he walked in, he saw many men in the courtyard doing woodworking.
You Huaijie stared at them for a long time, but he couldn’t tell what they were doing.
With a cold expression, he picked up a suitcase wheel and asked, “What is this?”
Village Chief Zhao said cautiously, “Sir, these are the wheels of a cart.”
You Huaijie’s expression turned colder, and the suspicion in his heart intensified. “Do you need so many carts?”
Village Chief Zhao said frankly, “Other than us using it ourselves, when the mountain is no longer sealed off, we can still sell it in the city to exchange for some silver to supplement our family’s income.”
Village Chief Zhao’s answer was reasonable. You Huaijie’s doubts were dispelled, but he was not prepared to let them off.
He urgently needed to vent his anger, and Village Chief Zhao and the others happened to be right before him.
You Huaijie pointed at the wood beside him and scolded in a low voice, “How dare you! Without the approval of the government, you actually dared to log wood and invade the private property of the Imperial Court!’
“Take down everyone here and throw them into jail for punishment!”
Village Chief Zhao suddenly widened his eyes and hurriedly said, “Sir, we don’t dare to cut wood privately. We bought these wood ourselves!’
You Huaijie was determined to capture them. “You are lying! The Jade Spiritual Mountain has been sealed for more than a month. Where did you buy the wood?! ”
Village Chief Zhao explained, “We previously made a literary room for Master
Yu and had a lot of wood left behind. Really, we don’t dare to lie to you!”
The carpenters behind him also explained in panic, “Sir, we really bought this wood! ‘
“Sir, if you don’t believe me, we can confront Master Yu!”
Since You Huaijie wanted to capture them, he would not listen to their explanation.. ‘Take them away!”
