"Yes." The governnt officials had long had enough of the arrogance of the Zhan Family uncle and nephew and, upon receiving the order, rushed at them.
The Zhan Family uncle and nephew knew martial arts. Seeing the governnt officials rushing in, they imdiately threw punches to retaliate.
However...
Bang bang bang, the governnt officials wielded sticks wrapped in iron sheets, and they fiercely beat the Zhan Family uncle and nephew until they howled in pain.
Old Master Zhan San cursed in anger, "Bandits, a group of bandits, dare use sticks to beat us. Do you know... ow!"
Before he could finish his words, the governnt officials continued to beat him relentlessly.
"Old Master Zhan San, if you don’t surrender, you’ll be arrested and your cris will be compounded." Squad Leader Zhang kindly reminded.
Old Master Zhan San was so angry he nearly fainted, wanting to continue cursing, but the sticks of the governnt officials were too quick. He was beaten until his whole body ached and he couldn’t speak.
Gu Rong was stunned, not expecting Lord Magistrate to order the arrest of Young Master Zhan San and his uncle.
She quickly shouted, "Sirs, how can there be rumors in the Prefecture of Young Master Zhan San and his uncle forcibly taking won? Are they talking about and Cousin Ya? Cousin Ya and I ca willingly; you’ve arrested the wrong people, stop it!"
Ms. Zhang, fearful of losing Young Master Zhan San as her golden son-in-law, also hurriedly chid in, "Sister Rong is right, both she and Sister Ya ca willingly; you’ve arrested the wrong people. Oh, quick, stop hitting! If my son-in-law is injured, what should we do?"
The Zhan Family uncle and nephew, hearing this, seed to find a lifeline and imdiately shouted, "That’s right, they’re willing; stop it!"
"Pah, who ca willingly? I was forced by you, you disgusting old man, you ruined my purity!" Gu Ya, having cried for an hour, finally accepted that the person who slept with her wasn’t Young Master Zhan San. Seeing the governnt officials arrest Old Master Zhan San, she rushed out, wanting to stamp her foot.
Old Master Zhan San, hearing this, glared coldly at Gu Ya: "Ruined your purity? What purity does a fallen woman like you have for to ruin? You look down on ? Fine, don’t regret it later!"
Since she looks down on him, in the future, she shouldn’t bla him for being heartless.
Squad Leader Zhang was fed up with them, shouting toward the governnt officials, "Why the hell is it taking so long to incapacitate them? It’s hard to bind two scholars?"
The governnt officials, hearing his words, sped up their actions, knocking the Zhan Family uncle and nephew down, binding their hands and feet, and gagging their mouths.
Young Master Zhan San, seeing himself tied up, whimpered, glaring at Gu Rong with eyes full of resentnt, clearly bearing a grudge against her.
If Granny Gu hadn’t broken the law, bringing the governnt officials, they wouldn’t have lost face and now had to be dragged to the governnt office.
Gu Rong, seeing Young Master Zhan San’s gaze, was frightened in her heart, thinking about her days in the Old Gu Family. If she couldn’t cling to Young Master Zhan San as a strong pillar, she wouldn’t survive and imdiately said, "Squad Leader Zhang, I implore you to let return to the governnt office with you. I want to testify for Young Master Zhan San and his uncle; they didn’t force or Cousin Ya."
Gu Ya, hearing this, angrily said, "Pah! You little wretch, you ca willingly, but I was hard by you."
Gu Rong wouldn’t let Gu Ya have a good life, laughed hearing this: "Hard by , huh? If you didn’t willingly co to the eting, who could harm you? Among the daughters of the Old Gu Family, you’re the dirtiest, having been slept with till you’re rotten, yet you have the face to cry?"
"You!" Gu Ya was utterly humiliated, crying out, "I can’t live anymore!"
Saying this, she ran toward the pillar to hit her head.
"Sister Ya!" Mrs. Gu was terrified and hurriedly chased to save Gu Ya.
Gu Rong laughed, "Aunt, Cousin Ya won’t die; don’t worry."
A person who sold themselves for food to survive, now living in luxury, how could she be willing to die?
Sure enough, Gu Ya’s head rely touched the pillar, turning her forehead red, and then she didn’t dare to hit again, sitting on the ground covering her face and weeping in pain.
Steward Yue, along with Lai Zhuang and others, had already carried Lord Lai into the main house of the courtyard, and the doctor was giving him acupuncture while he stood at the door, coldly watching everything, and said, "Squad Leader Zhang, weren’t you going to apprehend Granny Gu? Hurry."
It’s best if all the Old Gu Family mbers died at this point; he didn’t want to deal with them anymore.
Squad Leader Zhang nodded and said, "Thank you, Steward Yue, for the reminder."
He also said, "After Lord Lai wakes up, it’s best to leave the Old Gu Family and go to the governnt office; this residence needs to be sealed."
Steward Yue, expressionless, cupped his hands toward Squad Leader Zhang and said, "Thank you for the reminder."
If Lord Lai wakes up and doesn’t promptly leave, insisting on dealing with the Old Gu Family’s issues, then he will leave imdiately.
Seeing this, Squad Leader Zhang didn’t delay further and ordered Zhang Sanjin: "You guard the residence, Huzi and you six take the Zhan Family uncle and nephew to the front yard first. The rest follow to Granny Gu’s yard to apprehend her."
Then he pointed at Gu Dagu, "You, follow us."
Gu Dagu was almost scared to death, "Why... why do I have to go with you? I haven’t committed any cris."
Squad Leader Zhang said, "Mrs. Gu Pan is bedridden; as her daughter, accompanying your own mother to court isn’t too much to ask, right?"
Where’s your filial piety?
Fed to the dogs?
Squad Leader Zhang had been delayed too long by the Old Gu Family’s affairs, no longer giving Gu Dagu a chance to refuse, directly letting the governnt officials escort her to Granny Gu’s courtyard.
...
In Granny Gu’s yard, Little Sister Gu was crying to Granny Gu about Gu Rong snatching Young Master Zhan San, making Granny Gu furious.
"Wait, Mother, help, avenge!" Granny Gu struggled to say she wanted to avenge Little Sister Gu.
Little Sister Gu was overjoyed to hear this; since she was young, anything Mother promised her was always fulfilled.
But just as she was happily waiting for Granny Gu to discipline Gu Rong, Gu Dagu brought Squad Leader Zhang and the others in.
Little Sister Gu, seeing Squad Leader Zhang, angrily said, "This is my mother’s room, how dare you barge in here? I want to..."
Crack! Squad Leader Zhang grabbed a wooden stick from a governnt official and struck Little Sister Gu, coldly saying, "Governnt officers handling a case, anyone who obstructs will be arrested as well!"
Dammit, having been disrupted by the Zhan Family uncle and nephew earlier, if Little Sister Gu causes more trouble, this case won’t get solved.
Little Sister Gu, being hit, lost all her arrogance, shrinking in a corner like a turtle, not daring to make a sound.
Granny Gu was furious, wanting to speak to question Squad Leader Zhang, but due to her urgency, could only make indistinguishable sounds.
Squad Leader Zhang didn’t waste words with her, directly stated, "Gu Dashan accuses you of harming his mother Mrs. Fei. There is already sufficient evidence in the governnt office proving your guilt; we are here by the order of Lord Magistrate to apprehend you."
Granny Gu, hearing this, widened her eyes in disbelief... The case about Mrs. Fei was so discreet, how did Gu Dashan find out? And he actually dared to accuse her!
"What? What did you say?" Gu Dagu trembled as she asked, "You’re here to arrest my mother because of Mrs. Fei’s case?"
Squad Leader Zhang nodded, "Yes, don’t ask more; quickly get your mother off the bed, we’ll dismantle a door panel to carry her away."
Gu Dagu, hearing this, recalled quickly so overheard words from her past when she was Yuan Jinzhi, and so things she had done, causing her fear to nearly make her faint.
She waved her hand, "You, you go ahead, I need to take care of my grandchild."
After speaking, she intended to flee, but Squad Leader Zhang stopped her with a stick.
Squad Leader Zhang frowned, "Stop finding excuses, quickly get Mrs. Gu Pan down, we need to return to the governnt office to report."
But Gu Dagu was scared, wanting to run imdiately, pointing at Little Sister Gu, "Let her do it; she’s capable of carrying her."
