Crowned with Pearls

  Chapter 1310 one hundred and nine·Damn people

Wujiabao has been established for two or three hundred years. It stood here during the previous dynasty. Because there are many sea bandits nearby, the city walls here have been strengthened and strengthened. Little by little, many friendly people in the nearby villages and towns have been absorbed. After coming in, their archway was also built in a particularly majestic manner. From a long distance, watching the archway collapse, the strong men of the militiamen on the city wall hurried down to inquire about the situation.

  Su Yao is not afraid that someone will come down to question him, what he is afraid of is that these people will not come down.

Now that someone who is in charge has come down, she raised her eyebrows to reveal her identity, looked at them with a half-smile and asked, "Could it be that Wujiabao is no longer the Wujiabao of the court, so the people from our court are still here?" Can't get in here?"

   This big hat is covered, how can it hold it?

The second master of the Wu family, who happened to be guarding here, hastily explained with a smile on his face: "How can this happen? Your majesty is a noble person. It's because the people below don't know your identity, so you rashly started shouting and killing me. Go back and I Let someone clean them up!"

There is nothing terrible if you are willing to save face, Su Yao stared at him seriously: "You can say that, I am afraid that some people have been the emperor for a long time, and they really think that they are the emperor. Lead the way ahead!"

  Second Master Wu's mouth was bitter.

  Su Yao revealed her identity as soon as she arrived, and she was accompanied by so many guards. If she forcibly stopped her, it would be that she had promised to rebel. Is it true that Wu Jiabao really doesn't want to gain a foothold in the future?

   Let her in

  The second master of the Wu family weighed the pros and cons, winked at the people below, and hurriedly asked people to report the letter, and he graciously led Su Yao into the city.

The Wujia Fort is well built, so whenever the pirates attack here, most of the time they cannot enter the fort. As soon as they enter the city, they can see small stalls everywhere on the street. It is early in the morning. Young and old people picked up vegetables to sell, and some younger shopkeepers walked around the streets carrying some cheap jewelry. The city was very lively.

Mrs. Qin saw that Su Yao was looking seriously, so she explained softly to her: "There are a lot of people in the Wu family castle, most of the people here are surnamed Wu, and some are surnamed Bai. Referrals, or getting acquainted with each other, gathered little by little, and built the Wujiabao. It is not the government that decides here, but some elders of the Wujiabao. Here, the ancestral hall is bigger than the public hall. In important places, no one dares to behave wildly in the ancestral hall."

  Su Yao narrowed his eyes.

  The second master of the Wu family took Su Yao directly to the house of the head of the Wu family, which was also the ancestral house of the Wu family.

The Wu Family Ancestral House is located in the center of the city. It is so big that even Su Yao thinks it is a bit exaggerated, and it is different from the normal square houses. The Wu Family Ancestor House is round and built like a fortress. Like a house, like a small town.

  The Wu family had already received the news and came out with people to greet them. When they saw Su Yao's carriage coming, they all rushed forward to salute and say hello.

  Su Yao was supported by Jinping to get out of the carriage, and when he saw an old man with white beard and hair surrounded by the crowd, he nodded and said, "Are you the head of the Wu family?"

  Old Master Wu was serious, but his face was still calm at this time, and he came forward with a haughty look and bowed slightly to Su Zhao: "I have seen the concubine grandson."

  Su Yao didn't talk nonsense with him, just passed him up the steps, turned around and looked around at the Wu family, and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that you have arrested many girls here?"

   Sure enough, they came here for this, and everyone in the Wu family had different expressions on their faces.

  Mr. Wu touched his beard straightforwardly and asked, "I don't know what the grandson concubine means by asking this? We have always been in charge of our affairs here!"

Not to mention this kind of thing, if there are such things as theft and adultery in the clan, if the clan can solve it, it will not be reported to the government, and it is even more impossible for the government to intervene. This is also the problem here. Old rules.

  Because of these rules, Wujiabao actually doesn't welcome people from the government.

This time, it was because Su Yao's status was too precious, and they had nothing to do, otherwise, if Mr. Qin or whoever came, the Wu family would not show timidity. After all, the Wu family was not alone. middle official.

These words were very blunt, Mrs. Qin was afraid of offending Su Yao, so she hurriedly raised her voice and said, "What did the old man say? What did those girls do wrong? How could you use lynching? What's more? Not one or two people, but more than two hundred people, you are too evil!"

   This is what Mrs. Qin is thinking about now.

  More than two hundred girls were burned to death if they said they were burned to death. What Wu Jiabao did was too provoking public outrage.

When Mr. Wu heard this, his face darkened immediately, and he retorted sullenly and sullenly: "There is nothing wrong with doing evil! This is the rule in our family. Who hasn't experienced pirates? Over the years, Women who have ruined their reputation, as long as they know that they are embarrassing for the family, they will die first! Those who come back, they will all damage the reputation of their ancestors, and they cannot stay!"

This is too harsh to hear, Madam Qin was furious: "It's unreasonable! If you say that, there will be no way for women to survive! They were taken away voluntarily. Now that you come back, you don't take them in, and we don't have anything to say. But you don’t even give them a way to survive, that’s insane! But anyone with some conscience shouldn’t take human lives like this!”

  In normal times, Mrs. Qin, the county magistrate, rarely talks so much.

  But at this time, I really couldn't help it.

Her face was flushed with anger, and Mr. Wu was also furious: "We have been in the family for many years, and no one has ever said no! It is not up to outsiders to give pointers! Madam is the magistrate's wife, and her status is precious, but Who are you, those girls? Their father and brother have already agreed, and there is no objection, but you stand up instead, what is this?!"

There is no result in such arguing. Su Yao coughed, and seeing Mrs. Qin silenced angrily, she looked at Mr. Wu: "Patriarch Wu, I heard that every year when there is heavy wind and rain in Wujiabao, Are they easy to attract pirates?"

She changed the subject. Although Mr. Wu didn't know what she wanted to do, he was not as resistant as before. He admitted it with a hum, and said unwillingly, "Because of this, it is not easy for us. Every household has to send strong men to guard the city and guard the outside, those pirates and those Dongying rogues, they will kill anyone they see."
