Chapter 84
Shutong was not from this era, and he didn't have such a deep family concept.

He waved his hands indifferently and yawned, "It's getting late, I think everyone should go back and rest first!"

Li Han handed over the remaining money and ledgers, and everyone went home.

With something on his mind, Shutong slept until the sun was up.

After getting up in the morning and having a hearty breakfast, I saw my grandma, Gu Shi, walking in with a smile on her face. "Xiaoyue! I have been away with your uncle for many days, and I am thinking about whether I should go back!"

This is the original owner's grandmother, not hers, Shutong smiled indifferently.

"If grandma is homesick, ask the housekeeper to prepare some gifts for you and arrange for you to go back."

Gu Shi was startled, remembering that Xiaoyue didn't agree to go back with her, she thought about it before laughing.

"It's not in a hurry, but grandma still said that, I don't feel relieved to leave you here alone. Why don't you just stay with me for a while, and it's considered a relaxation."

Shutong didn't want to go out yet, so she shook her head.

"I won't go with you this time, I'll visit when I'm in a better mood."

Gu Shi knew that the child was young and had a stubborn temper, so he couldn't persuade him deeply.

Then I thought about what my son had gone out to do, and I felt a little uneasy.Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone banging on the door.

At this moment, the housekeeper Li Han went to assist Zhang Dewen on behalf of Shutong to discuss the construction of the ancestral hall.

Siya and Cuiyun went to wash clothes by the stream, Wanger went out to herd cattle, Zhao Shouxin went somewhere, and there were only Shutonggu's two people at home.

Hearing the knock on the door was too loud, Gu's heart skipped a beat, and he complained, "Who? Such a loud noise, don't knock on the door."

As she spoke, she walked towards the door.

Shutong was one step faster than her, "Grandma, let me open the door!"

Hearing the gesture of knocking on the door, the person who came was not kind, could it be that someone came looking for trouble.

It just so happened that the past two days have been relatively relaxed, and her bones are a little itchy. If someone really wants to provoke trouble, it's just for her to loosen her muscles and bones.

Shutong opened the gate, only to see two servants with knives rushing directly into the courtyard.

"Oh, who are you? Why...?" Gu Shi was startled, saw that the person was wearing official clothes, and was frightened back when he asked the question.

Shutong looked at the two menacing servants without even frowning.

"What's the matter with you?"

The fat-faced yamen servant patted the simple knife hanging on his waist, and shouted angrily: "Who is Zhang Xiaoyue?"

Shutong secretly smiled, she really came here to find trouble.

Step forward, "I AM!"

Another sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked yamen servant looked up and down bewitched when he saw the young girl who was so beautiful, and then he took out the handcuffs and dangled them in front of her.

"You are Zhang Xiaoyue! Did you see that? We were sent by the magistrate to arrest someone."

In the middle of the afternoon, the knock on the door just now was loud enough to attract many villagers.

After yesterday's tomb repair incident with great fanfare, Zhang Xiaoyue can be considered a celebrity in Wangyue Village.

Someone ran to her house to find trouble, and everyone came to watch.

At this moment, it turned out to be an official servant in handcuffs, and everyone was shocked and frightened.

Shutong sneered, "The magistrate wants to arrest me? I don't know what crime I committed!"

The savage-faced yamen servant shouted: "What a sharp-mouthed little girl, someone sued you for disobedience and unfilial piety, and you have huge wealth to make unknown crimes. The master ordered us to arrest you and go to the yamen!"

Shutong secretly laughed in his heart, disobedient and unfilial!It seems that old Zhang's family is doing something again.

I also wanted to go to them to settle the score after the grave was repaired, but they couldn't help but jump up.

She was still smiling, but Gu Shi panicked and opened his arms to block her behind.

"You two policemen, did you make a mistake? Our Xiaoyue is a well-known filial daughter who is well-known in all towns and villages. She just rebuilt the grave for her parents who passed away yesterday. Who will sue her? Yue is disobedient and unfilial!"

The flesh on the yam servant's face was trembling, and he snorted, "I can't control this, the master has ordered us to arrest him. You old woman, get out of the way quickly, don't delay our business!"

The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked yamen servant stretched out his hand and was about to push Gu Shi away. Seeing his aggressiveness, Shutong hurriedly supported Gu Shi.

With a cold face, he said: "I'll go with you, don't bully the old man with your hands."

The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked yamen servant chuckled, "You're smart!"

Shaking the chain on his hand, "Come on! Let my uncle wait for you to put it on!"

Shutong rolled his eyes at him, "Are you sure!"

When the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked yamen servant met Shutong's gloomy gaze, his heart trembled.

Cursing secretly, it's a hell of a life.

Shaking off the handcuffs angrily, he was about to pounce on him.

Shutong snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and snatched the heavy chain as fast as lightning.

Before the yamen servant recovered his senses, the things in his hands were gone.

Stupidly staring at the chain that fell into Shutong's white and tender hands, "You, what are you doing! Return it to me quickly."

The two yamen servants looked at each other and shouted loudly at the same time, "Bold!"

Shutong smiled and pinched the chain with her hands, the hard iron chain seemed to turn into soft noodles in her hand.

She grabbed it section by section and smashed it on the bluestone board, making a crisp sound.

"You...!" The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked yamen servant seemed to be choked by someone, his eyes widened, and he was speechless.

The man with the fleshy face took two steps back cautiously, "Cang!", and drew out the simple knife.

Seeing his weapon unsheathed, the onlookers backed away in surprise.

Gu Shi was also terrified to death, and tremblingly pulled Shutong to hide.

"Xiaoyue, quickly follow me to the house."

The long handcuffs in Shutong's hands are only two rings left, and the iron chain in the middle has been torn apart by her.

Tilting the ring in her hand, she said with a smile, "Grandma, it's fine."

"Zhang, Zhang Xiaoyue, what kind of magic is this? How dare you destroy public property!"

The savage-faced yamen servant let out a loud shout to cheer himself up, and then raised his simple knife and rushed over.

Shutong grinned at him, raised his hand and flew over with an iron ring.

With a sound of "Bang!", there was a click in the middle of the plain knife held high by the yamen servant.

The yamen servant felt light in his hand, and a good snowflake knife was smashed into three pieces by the iron ring of the handcuffs.

Holding the handle of the knife in his hand, he froze on the spot.

The two yamen servants opened their mouths so wide that they could stuff two eggs, they pointed at Shutong but couldn't say a word.

The onlookers knew that Zhang Xiaoyue was powerful, but they didn't expect her to be so violent towards the people in the government. They were both excited and worried.

Gu's eyes were wide open, and he was even more flustered.

"Xiaoyue! You can't do this, they are official servants!"

Shutong smiled gently, "Grandma, I know it! It'll be fine!"

Once Hengxuan occupied Ancheng, it would definitely expand to the surrounding area, including counties and towns around Wangyue Village.

No matter what choice the magistrate made, whether to submit to Hengxuan or resist, it would do no harm to her.
