RPAGF Chapter 317 Prince Fusu
Chapter 317 Prince Fusu
Lao Liu was agile, swinging the knife up and down quickly. After a while, he had cut a piece of bamboo and handed it to the old man next to him: "Uncle, please hold it well and put it down slowly."
The seventh brother ran around, distributing tools to everyone and occasionally helping to carry the shaved bamboo: "Everyone, work hard. The sooner we finish, the more security the village will have!"
"Once the moat protecting the village is dug, we'll stand these bamboo shoots inside it," Old Seven continued. "Then we'll see who dares to invade our village!"
On the other side, Wang Dali finally arrived at the Pingyang County city wall after a long journey. He was breathing heavily and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Looking up, I saw the same refugees I had met on the road last time, repairing the wall. They were all dressed in rags, but they worked tirelessly with their tools.
Wang Dali looked around and saw Wang Daya helping the people from the yamen to distribute porridge.
She skillfully picked up the spoon and served porridge to the refugees in line, and from time to time she gently comforted them: "Don't worry, there's everything, take your time to eat."
Wang Dali looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling moved and relieved. After calming his breath a little, he walked towards Wang Daya.
"Da Ya!"
Wang Dali shouted at the top of his lungs, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
When Wang Daya heard the call, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she walked briskly towards Wang Dali. "Brother, why are you here?"
Wang Dali frowned and said unhappily, "Why haven't you come back yet after delivering the rice? Everyone at home is waiting anxiously!"
Wang Daya lowered her head and said with some guilt, "I saw it was busy here, so I stayed a few more days to help. Brother, did the Madam ask you to come look for me? It's all my fault. I'm going back with you to accept the punishment."
Wang Dali sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it. My wife asked me to come to see Master Wu. It's important. Please take me there quickly."
When Wang Daya heard this, she didn't dare to delay and said quickly: "Okay, brother, follow me." Wang Daya turned around and led the way.
Wang Dali, filled with anger and anxiety, finally met Mr. Wu.
He didn't even bother to greet him, and immediately told Master Wu, "Master Wu, I have something important to report to you! The new magistrate of Qingshui County is that bastard Luo Jingan!"
"This bastard official actually forced the second young lady to marry him as a concubine! He's completely lawless and insane!" Wang Dali clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. "He relies on his power to do evil and has no regard for the law!"
"Also, Lord Wu, did you know that Luo Jing'an's father-in-law is Liu Zhongguo, the prefect of Jizhou? Liu Zhongguo is no good either. I'm sure there must be something shady going on behind the scenes!" Wang Dali grew increasingly excited as he spoke. "I beg Lord Wu to help us, punish this evildoer, and give justice to the Second Young Miss!"
Wang Dali fell to his knees with a thud, his eyes full of pleading and expectation.
When Wu Baixi heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. He was so shocked that he stood there in shock.
He hadn't expected that the newly appointed magistrate of Qingshui County would be Luo Jing'an! Shouldn't it be the young talent Fu Boqiu?
After a long while, he finally came to his senses. He hurried forward to help Wang Dali up and said, "Brother Dali, please get up quickly. I didn't expect such a ridiculous thing to happen!"
"Luo Jing'an and Liu Zhongguo are so audacious and lawless!" Wu Baixi frowned, his eyes flashing with anger. "Don't worry, I will not sit idly by and watch this happen!"
Then, he turned to look at Wang Daya and said, "Daya, take Dali downstairs to rest and eat something. They must be exhausted after traveling all the way."
"Let me think about it carefully and make a long-term plan. I will definitely give you justice!" Wu Baixi patted Wang Dali's shoulder to comfort him.
Wang Daya and Wang Dali walked out slowly, and their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the long corridor.
Wu Baixi's face was solemn as he hurried towards the backyard of the county government office. Two men in black stood guard at the hanging flower gate in the backyard. They stood tall and straight, their eyes sharp, and exuded a murderous aura.
Wu Baixi stopped, clasped his fists, and said to the man in black, "Please inform him that Wu Baixi wishes to see you." His voice was low and respectful. The men in black exchanged glances, one of them nodded slightly, and turned to walk into the courtyard.
Not long after, the man in black returned and signaled Wu Baixi to go in. Wu Baixi took a deep breath and walked in.
In the courtyard, a young man stood in front. He was wearing a gorgeous blue printed suit. The patterns on the clothes were delicate and exquisite, and they were shining.
His hair was tied high in a white jade crown, a few strands of hair fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of unrestrained and uninhibited. He was tall and slender, with a handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Under a high nose bridge, thin lips were slightly raised. He exuded an innate nobility, making people dare not look directly at him.
Wu Baixi knelt down with a plop and said in an urgent and respectful voice, "Sir, I have something important to report!"
Fusu frowned slightly, walked slowly to the stone bench and sat down gracefully, then raised his hand gently and said, "Master Wu, please stand up and speak."
Fusu's tone was calm but carried an irresistible majesty. His eyes were deep, making it difficult to fathom his thoughts.
"Thank you, sir!"
Only then did Wu Baixi dare to stand up, but he still kept his head down, not daring to look directly at Fusu.
"Sir, I just received news that the new magistrate of Qingshui County is Luo Jing'an. He has committed many evil deeds and is now forcing decent women to become his concubines. His crimes are truly unforgivable!"
Fusu didn't show any surprise when he heard Wu Baixi's report. He just said calmly, "The magistrate of Qingshui County was originally the scholar Fu Boqiu. Concubine Sun slandered him in front of the emperor, so Luo Jing'an was replaced."
Fusu gently waved the folding fan in his hand, his eyes deep and distant, as if he had already seen through everything.
"Luo Jing'an's father-in-law is the Jizhou prefect Liu Zhongguo, and Liu Zhongguo is Concubine Sun's man." Wu Baixi added.
Fusu nodded slightly and said calmly, "I've already known about this matter. He's just a clown. Don't pay any attention to him for now. We'll settle the score later."
A cold look flashed in Fusu's eyes. "The situation is complicated now. We must not lose sight of the big picture because of small things. We must first stabilize our position and wait for the right time to catch them all in one fell swoop."
Fusu put down his folding fan, stood up, and stood with his hands behind his back. "I want to see how long they can keep jumping around."
Wu Baixi had a conflicted look on his face, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, his lips moving: "But pomegranate... pomegranate..." His voice was full of hesitation and worry.
Fusu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Pomegranate? Is pomegranate important compared to the people of the world?" His eyes were fixed on Wu Baixi, with scrutiny and doubt.
