Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Pig Head
"I really didn’t know, it was unintentional," Xu Shuanghong looked innocent, still at a loss, clinging to Gu Baijiang’s arm, "Baijiang, I’ve just arrived not long ago, I didn’t know your clansmen were here too, who would’ve thought it would be such a coincidence..."
"Mrs. Xu, you’re really lying with your eyes open," Gu Kaiyuan pointed out bluntly, "You’ve been asking around a lot these days, probably knowing perfectly well the size of this group and what everyone used to do.
Did you think by saying you didn’t know, you could continue living here like nothing happened?"
As Gu Kaiyuan spoke, his voice rose, "You should ask those injured families, those who lost lives because of your words, if they’re willing, if they agree?"
It’s already stepped on their heads, and Gu Kaiyuan wouldn’t let the other party off easily.
Chen Dafu immediately spoke with righteous indignation, "Yes, it’s this woman. If it weren’t for you carelessly saying that, how would those men in black rush behind us and start cutting wildly?
If you want to protect Gu Baijiang, then use your own skills, using our lives as fodder is just shameless to the extreme."
The commotion over here had long been heard, and now Xu Shuanghong has indeed sparked public outrage. Some rather fierce wives had already rushed forward to grab her hair, "It’s all because of you, you old hag! If it weren’t for you, how would my son be dead?"
"Our family has so many wounded, how come you’re unscathed?"
"Hit her..."
Xu Shuanghong only had time to let out a scream before being drowned out by a barrage of insults.
Originally standing next to her, Gu Baijiang swiftly retreated to the side; Gu Kaiyuan merely sneered, showing a coldness that comes from within.
But he had no sympathy for Xu Shuanghong, just because of her careless pointing, so many innocent people were harmed.
Others hid in the carriage, hearing the commotion outside, even less daring to come down.
Only Xu Yulan looked toward the sister from the Fan family, "You daughters aren’t going down to help?"
Fan Meilin, looking pitiable, gazed at Gu Kaiping, "Brother Gu, please save my mother."
Fan Meibao, holding back nausea, grabbed Gu Kaichen’s arm, "Husband..."
Xu Yulan’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, looking at the fight below, she directly pushed Fan Meibao down with both hands, sending her rolling right into the fray. Those wives crazed by fighting immediately dragged her into the battle.
"You..." Gu Kaichen hadn’t had enough of Fan Meibao yet, immediately looking sternly.
Xu Yulan, "Husband, see your beloved concubine, in just a moment turned into a pig’s head, why don’t you hurry down to help.
Such a pity, her full love for her mother, but unfortunately too weak."
Gu Kaichen’s eyes dodged, "How can I get involved in women’s fights? You and sister-in-law hurry and go stop it."
Fan Meilin saw Liu Yun with a thoughtful expression, a foreboding premonition grew within her heart, before she could think of how to escape this crisis, she felt a push on her back, following Fan Meibao into the fray.
Gu Kaiyuan stepped back, making more space, allowing others to unleash better.
Chen Dafu also retreated a few steps silently, not forgetting to hold back Chen Madam and several daughter-in-laws eager to try, "If we act now, we’re in the wrong, don’t worry, I’ll demand an explanation from Gu Baijiang."
The Gu Family is generous with silver, it seems there’s room to scrape a layer off, without forty or eighty ounces, this matter surely can’t be resolved.
Meanwhile, he grew more wary of Gu Kaiyuan, this one is truly fierce, repaying enemies on the spot.
You say Xu Shuanghong is really something, she had no conflict of interest with Gu Kaiyuan, why act recklessly like this?
As the escorts walked over, without them needing to whip, these wives automatically dispersed, beads of sweat on their foreheads revealing their exertion.
The Xu family mother and daughter lay in the middle, even the escort couldn’t help but cover his face looking at them, these women were too fierce, all aiming for the face.
Gu Kaiyuan was quite satisfied with the result, as for others, he didn’t care.
"What are you doing now?" Ma Zhi, holding his injured arm, looked at them viciously, as matters weren’t resolved yet, these people dared to cause trouble, they were simply courting death.
If his arm wasn’t injured, fearing whipping might affect his wound, he’d surely teach these people a harsh lesson.
"Sir, save us." Fan Meilin looked pitifully up, but her pig-headed appearance was far from charming, and a bit frightening.
"You’re seeking refuge with the Gu family," Ma Zhi recognized them, managing such a large group of prisoners already so much trouble, these three were outside their jurisdiction, "We can’t decide your matter, but if you want to cause trouble with us, don’t blame us for banishing you."
He then glanced warningly at those wives, "Have you packed your belongings properly? So much energy, hurry and help dig pits."
Having just tallied up, a dozen have left, all needing to be buried on site, and must be completed before dawn, urgently needing manpower.
Those wives wanted to run, but were surrounded by the newly arrived escorts, "Quickly, there’s someone over there assigning you tasks."
Seeing people taken away by the escorts, Xu Shuanghong’s mother and daughter knew there was nowhere to complain, they could only look to Gu Baijiang for help.
Gu Baijiang’s lips twitched slightly, could you not wear that pig-headed face and play the victim? It’s quite a sore sight.
Gu Kaiyuan achieved his aim, and had seen what he intended, thus greeted, "Since Father there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first."
He finished, swiftly turned and left, Gu Baijiang wanted to say something but didn’t have the time.
Xu Shuanghong glared at Gu Kaiyuan’s back, it was all because of him; if he hadn’t made those equivocal remarks, how would they have been besieged?
Gu Kaiyuan’s character is truly insidious, they did nothing, why such pettiness.
"Mr. Gu," Chen Dafu saw a good show, now that the curtain closed, it was his turn to collect debts.
"Because of Mrs. Xu, my family has been injured, you see how this should be resolved..."
"..."
☆
The group has suddenly reduced by a dozen people, everyone’s mood today isn’t delightful.
Especially the morning was bright with sunlight, but the afternoon brought a change in weather, starting freezing rain before nightfall.
Now everyone particularly missed the previous weather, at least when snow fell on them, it could be patted off clean, but this freezing rain, icy to the bone, soaking everyone’s clothes.
And that muddy dirt road, they’re almost slipping with every step, now people don’t dare stay in the carriage, fearing it might tip over with them inside.
