Chapter 404 Our little brother Yan Qing is really strong now.
Magistrate Yang narrowed his long, narrow eyes, making him look like a dangerous venomous snake.
He said, "Sheng'er, did you see where Yun Qing led those people?"
Yun Sheng casually pointed to a teahouse on the covered bridge, "Right there, that old man who's with Yun Qing is writing complaints for those troublemakers in the teahouse!"
"Grandfather, let's hurry over and surround them, catch them red-handed."
Magistrate Yang stroked the token in his hand, and then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he casually hid it in his sleeve. Looking at the tea that Yun Sheng was pointing to, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.
In a private room of the teahouse, Lin Chang'er and Wu Qingfeng were drinking tea by the window when they saw the corrupt magistrate looking in their direction for a while. Then, he waved his hand, directing his entourage to come towards them.
"Tsk tsk, this person doesn't seem to have good intentions!" Lin Chang'er said.
Wu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes. "They're going to throw caution to the wind and do nothing."
Lin Chang'er pouted, "There are too many people. We might be at a disadvantage if a fight breaks out."
Wu Qingfeng closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before beckoning to Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao eagerly approached, and Wu Qingfeng whispered a few more words in his ear.
Chen Zhao nodded, but seemed somewhat hesitant. "Lord Wu, if I do this, my uncle..."
Wu Qingfeng laughed and said, "Your uncle's official position is higher than his, what are you afraid of?"
Chen Zhao scratched his head. He did know that his uncle's official position was higher than this dog county magistrate's, but no, that was his uncle, not his biological father. If he had known, he would have brought his older brother Chen Ming along.
Seeing his expression, Wu Qingfeng could guess what he was thinking. He said, "Don't worry, if your uncle knew that you were carrying the Wu family token on this trip, he would do everything in his power to protect you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao instantly became energized, saying, "I'll listen to Lord Wu."
Chen Zhao trotted out, and soon after, a constable shouted from downstairs in the teahouse, "Listen up, people inside! No matter who you are, inciting the people to sue the officials and slandering the innocence of the current government officials are serious crimes."
"If you know what's good for you, come out and turn yourself in now. Our magistrate is very lenient and will give you a lighter sentence. Otherwise, you'll bring trouble on your families. That's all your own doing."
Lin Chang'er: "..." Tsk tsk tsk, this bastard, still pretending to be a good person now!
He glanced at Wu Qingfeng, who sneered, "Strike first! Trying to fool the people!"
Lin Chang'er shook her head, "This is the guilty party accusing the innocent first."
Wu Qingfeng paused, then nodded in agreement, "You're right."
At this moment, a slightly childish male voice in the teahouse responded: "It is an undeniable fact that your Magistrate Yang indulges his family in bullying men and women and oppressing the villagers. Where did you get the idea that he is inciting the people and slandering your innocence?"
“Only those who speak up for the people can be called good officials. Does your Magistrate Yang deserve that title?”
"A clay pot costs twenty coins, and he'll pay for it!"
A burst of laughter erupted in the teahouse.
Although Magistrate Yang outside the teahouse did not meet the tea drinkers, he still felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face several times, and his face was burning with pain!
Upon seeing his maternal grandfather's expression, Yun Sheng knew he must be furious.
Taking advantage of their numerical superiority, he immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you! Openly insulting an official of the imperial court, what is the punishment?"
Chen Zhao immediately recognized Yun Sheng's voice and laughed, "Where did you come from, you little brat? I haven't even said anything to you yet!"
“A child born but not raised, disrespectful to his stepmother, beats his elder brother in public, and defies the emperor’s will.”
"Whatever happens to your maternal grandfather, it will be because of your loose tongue. Otherwise, who would know about this mess in your family!"
"You..." Yun Sheng was furious and roared at Chen Zhao, "You lackey, how dare you talk back to me? Do you dare to come out and fight me one-on-one?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao thought to himself, "Is this person an idiot?"
He ran upstairs and made a face at the grandfather and grandson downstairs, "You're so stupid, why do you have to fight one-on-one when you can fight in a group? Hehehe..."
"You..." Yun Sheng was furious. He pointed at Chen Zhao fiercely, "You just wait. When I catch Yun Qing, I will break your arms and legs and lock you up with him."
Chen Zhao's eyes widened, and then he shouted, "Everyone heard it! Magistrate Yang's eldest grandson keeps talking about breaking people's hands and feet and locking them up!"
"Good heavens, isn't this just taking advantage of having an official grandfather to act so arrogantly?"
"With officials like these in Su County, it's no wonder everyone can't have a good life!"
The people who are currently staying in the teahouse are mostly waiting to ask Headmaster Chen to help them write their complaints, so they naturally agree with this.
Without a word, everyone nodded in agreement, except for the teahouse owner, who had a bitter face. Why did he open the door in the first place? Who would have thought he would offend such a big shot?
Today we've really offended Magistrate Yang completely. How will he do business in the future?
If I had known today was such a bad day, I would have simply not opened the door.
But things had already progressed to this point, and it was too late to say anything. He had already started to plan to take his wife and son back to the countryside to hide for a while.
Yun Sheng was so angry he almost vomited blood. He gritted his teeth, no longer wanting to engage in verbal sparring with the people inside.
“Grandfather, there’s no need to waste words with them. Let’s send men in and capture them all, so they’ll know whose territory this is.”
Magistrate Yang had the same idea in mind. Although these people had the Wu family's tokens, they didn't know which of them were members of the Wu family or what their relationship was with the Wu family.
If the Wu family were to investigate further, they would claim it was a misunderstanding, insisting that these people were shifty-eyed and not a single one of them was a good person, and that they thought the token was stolen by them. To prevent them from using the Wu family's name to swindle and deceive, they would rather kill the wrong person than let them go.
Once they arrived in the capital, the Marquis of Yunxing's mansion would naturally step in to confront the Wu family. After weighing the pros and cons, the Wu family would have no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
With that thought in mind, Magistrate Yang had no more reservations and raised his hand to issue orders.
At the same time, Wu Qingfeng also winked at Xiao Qi.
Just as the first officer rushed forward to kick down the door, an arrow pierced through the air, striking his foot and pinning him to the spot.
Suddenly, the sound of the constables slaughtering pigs rang out outside the teahouse.
Magistrate Yang was also startled. He thought that there should be someone among these people who was quite skilled in martial arts, but he did not expect that they would dare to openly attack the officials.
At this moment, Chen Zhao sarcastically remarked, "Some people really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin. They still think our little brother Yan Qing is a pitiful little thing that you can manipulate at will!"
"To tell you the truth, our little brother Yanqing is very strong now."
"One hit from this stick could blow your dog heads off."
Thinking of something, he looked at Yun Sheng again, "Kid, you have a maternal grandfather who's backing you up, right? What rank is your maternal grandfather? My eldest uncle is the prefect of Ninghai, I wonder if that's enough to put him in a higher position than your maternal grandfather?"
