Chapter 672: Bullying
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In Dou’s eyes, a girl from the countryside was very easily coaxed. As long as she was kidnapped, she would feel that she was honored to be with their young master. She would be willing to serve him.
The Zhao Family had never feared anybody in the county.
She and Dou had been used to bullying around, and they never had any rules or morality. They dared to do anything to flatter their young master.
So, the two servants came up with the idea of hiring a few hooligans and tried to rob Shao Sanlang and the others on their way home.
The servants and the hooligans put on some masks and pretended to be bandits from the mountains.
Taotao and Yang Xiaoni were so scared but Shao Sanlang did not allow anyone to bully his wife. He shouted loudly to Qi and asked him to take the two girls away. But Qi was so furious that he pulled out a tree trunk thicker than his arm and waved at the bandits, who fell onto the ground.
Shao Sanlang did not get to do anything at all.
Taotao and Yang Xiaoni were both shocked.
Then, Qi asked Shao Sanlang to get the eight of them tied into two clusters.
The hooligans were not afraid of them so they kept shouting and decided to threaten them.
Shao Sanlang was furious but he was a bit scared as well.
Hooligans were very difficult to get rid of. They might not be afraid of them when in the village, but if they went into the town in the future, they might come to attack them again.
One would never know what was coming next.
More importantly, they were not afraid of anything.
Shao Xiaoqi shouted loudly. “Just shut up! You know who we are, so you dare to do anything? My fifth sister-in-law is County Magistrate’s daughter and if you ever touch us, she will never let you go. My Fifth Brother is the Cultivated Talent, and he is in the province for the imperial examination. If he makes it to the next level, you will not escape the punishment!”
“Have you heard of the Yuezheng Family? The richest family in the province! Their Young Master is a good friend of our family and he has even lived at our place. He even has a manager residing at the Zhang Village taking care of the properties! You can ask around if you don’t believe me,”
“We are not your enemies. We have never offended you. Why did you do this to us?”
The hooligans were dumbfounded as they exchanged looks between themselves.
They started to hesitate.
Officer Qiao did have a daughter who married a Cultivated Talent, but these people had no chance to pry about the County Magistrate’s family, so they had no idea that Qiao Xuan was disliked in her family.
Also, even if she was, the County Magistrate would protect her just to keep up his reputation.
Also, what if this boy’s brother really became a Recommended man…
They would never be bold enough to offend people from a Recommended man’s family.
But the Zhao Family was powerful in the County and they knew that the Young Master Zhao was very arrogant. They could get many benefits by sucking up to him. If he was offended, the result could be bad too.
So, they did not dare sell out Zhao Guanghua.
They just apologized and said that it was a misunderstanding, promising never to touch them again..
