Chapter 345 Expelled from Hegou Village
Yang continued to cry: "His wife deliberately made trouble. Not only did he not punish her, he also made the second daughter-in-law serve his wife as a maid, and even arrested the second daughter."
"Folks, you come to judge, how are you spending your days?"
The villagers asked all kinds of questions about the reason. Why did Ms. Chen bully others? Why do you treat Wang as a maid?
Who inflicted the injury on Wang's head?
Where did the injury on Gu Laoer's head come from?
The villagers didn't mind watching the excitement and just wanted to gossip.
Mrs. Yang cried and told the whole story, which made the villagers grit their teeth. How could there be such a bad daughter-in-law in this world? Look at how much she bullied her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
This is not the most hateful thing, the most hateful thing is Gu Hanzhou.
His daughter-in-law is behaving badly, and he still indulges her and helps outsiders bully his parents, brothers and sister-in-law. It's really hateful.
The most irritating thing is that he asked Wang to cook for Chen Jiaojiao and asked Wang to apologize. Isn't this a clear slap in the face of his second brother!
Being a general is a great thing. He will use his power to oppress the people, and he will arrest them at every turn.
The villagers are so angry that if they meet a son like this, they will be beaten to death to relieve their anger, let alone break off the relationship.
If Gu Hanzhou had an ordinary status, they would have relied on his status as an elder to give advice and lectures, but now they dare not.
Gu Hanzhou is a general and Chen Jiaojiao is an official. Neither of them can be offended by them.
Therefore, the villagers just watched the excitement and said nothing!
After hearing Yang's cry, the clan leader and village chief lectured him with a straight face: "Gu Laosi, you are indeed at fault for what happened today."
"Hurry up and take your wife with you to apologize to your parents, brother and sister-in-law. Let's forget about it. Do you really want to go to the point of breaking off the relationship?"
"And the mother and son who caused trouble must be punished if they deserve it. Otherwise, they will be reported to the official. There cannot be no royal law in this world."
Seeing that Gu Hanzhou still looked cold and had no intention of apologizing, the clan leader angrily hit the ground with his cane.
"Why, now that you have become a general, your wings have become stiff and you can't even control me. How can you teach me a lesson?"
Village Chief Li also frowned, feeling that Gu Hanzhou had changed and became cold-hearted and hard-faced.
"It's the second sister-in-law who should apologize. She insulted Jiaojiao first."
The patriarch was so angry that he almost went to heaven: "If your wife doesn't make things difficult for Wang, can she start to curse?"
"How come you can't tell the difference now that you've become an official?"
"If you are still stubborn, then I will have no choice but to exterminate you."
Gu Hanzhou still stood still, Gu Shunxin and Yang shouted angrily: "There is no need to persuade him to break off the relationship, break it off now, I don't have such a son."
The clan leader and village chief stopped trying to persuade him. The two elders of the Gu family strongly demanded that Gu Hanzhou refuse to repent and would rather break off the relationship than apologize. Since both parties had the intention to break off the relationship, there was no need for further persuasion.
The clan leader looked at Gu Hanzhou with disappointment: "Let's go to the ancestral hall and exterminate the clan in front of the whole village."
"From now on, you are no longer a descendant of our Gu family, and there is no place for you in Hegou Village."
Chen Jiaojiao suddenly rushed out and shouted arrogantly: "You are so outrageous, you vulgar and lowly country roughnecks, you are simply rebellious."
"You are citizens, and my husband is an official. Let me see who dares to expel him from Hegou Village."
"You people just don't like my husband. Do you know that his being exterminated will have a great impact on his official career?"
"The imperial officials will criticize him for being unkind, unjust and unfilial. Why do you have such good intentions?"
"Hmph! My wife is the first to say ugly things. If you dare to exterminate my husband, I will make your whole village look good."
Everyone was frightened by Chen Jiaojiao's words. They did not expect that the elimination of the clan would have such a great impact on Gu Hanzhou.
It is also impossible to imagine what kind of revenge Gu Hanzhou would take on Hegou Village if he was really affected by the genocide.
At this time, some timid village chiefs spoke: "Chief, how about we just let this matter go?"
"Yes, this is a matter for the Gu family and has nothing to do with us. Do you want to see the whole village be implicated?"
"Yes, since ancient times, people have not fought against officials. It is difficult for our Gu family to have a high official. It is a pity to drive him away like this."
Everyone was trying to persuade him, but they were actually afraid of being retaliated against.
Chen Jiaojiao looked at the villagers' reactions and looked at Lin Shuangshuang proudly and provocatively.
It seems to be saying that just because you want to drive away my husband, you take yourself too seriously.
Lin Shuangshuang sneered: "Chen Jiaojiao, do you really think that the Yu Dynasty has no royal power?"
"You have forgotten that I am also an official, a female official personally appointed by the emperor who is capable of doing business and has real power."
"You and your wife are unfaithful, unjust and unfilial, do evil things, and use your power to bully others. This is a fact that is obvious to all in the village."
"If I don't submit a memorial to the emperor to report your evil deeds, why don't you just burn incense? How dare you take revenge?"
"Do you really think that the whole world belongs to your Chen family?"
When the villagers heard this, they thought, yes, is there really no royal law in the world?
If their village were all ordinary people, they would really be afraid that Gu Hanzhou and his wife would take revenge on them.
But it's different now. There is Lin Shuangshuang in their village, and Lin Shuangshuang is also an official. She has the right to go to heaven to listen.
Therefore, Chen Jiaojiao was just trying to scare them. If she really dared to act recklessly, Lin Shuangshuang would really dare to file a memorial.
Lin Shuangshuang was not someone to be trifled with, and it was indeed Gu Hanzhou and Chen Jiaojiao who were at fault first.
Gu Hanzhou's extermination was not a glorious thing. He didn't have time to cover it up, so how could he dare to make the matter bigger?
But not all villagers in Hegou Village think so. More than half of the villagers are still afraid of being affected.
Originally, as long as Gu Hanzhou was not expelled from Hegou Village, revenge would definitely not happen.
But if Gu Hanzhou is driven away, even though Lin Shuangshuang and him are constraining each other, there is still a half chance that it will happen.
No matter how bastard Gu Hanzhou is, he's not their son, and he can't trouble them, so why should they take risks?
Therefore, the villagers quarreled with each other. Some said the clan should be exterminated, and some said the clan should not be exterminated!
Lin Shuangshuang knew this would happen. As long as anything did not harm his own interests, everyone would be generous and would easily choose to forgive.
Lin Shuangshuang said calmly: "The clan leader, village chief, and fellow villagers, please make a choice today."
"If Gu Hanzhou is not driven out of Hegou Village today, then I will leave."
"I believe that the nearby Lijia Village, Wangjia Village, and Damba Village will have a place for me. If it doesn't work out, I will just buy a house in the town."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
Before the villagers could react, the village chief and clan chief took the lead in objecting.
They were much more transparent than the villagers, so they naturally knew better what Lin Shuangshuang's departure meant.
This means that Hegou Village no longer has high-yield food, no miracle doctor who can prevent plague, no more academies, experimental fields, clothing factories, paper mills, printing factories, and many more ways to make money...
