Chapter 407 The Complainant

Anyone would find it strange that the uncle, whom she had never met before, came up and cried for help. Ping'er was even more brave and walked forward to stand beside Gu Shaoyu. Even though his sixth uncle's ability was not enough for him to protect him, he still did it.

Sister-in-law Liu was busy looking at what happened and did not notice it. Instead, Du Jingyi felt relieved when she saw Ping'er's move.

Finally, he showed some manly responsibility, which was really touching.

But soon, her thoughts were interrupted by the uncle's crying. He cried so hard that he could not help himself, and he also expressed his grievances clearly from beginning to end.

"At the beginning, the third branch of the Gu family tricked us into investing in the shipping business, saying it was a miracle business. In addition, all the previous participants had made money, so many people followed suit. The Gu family has been famous in Qingshui Town for hundreds of years, and no one expected that the third branch would cheat."

"After making money a few times, they started to lose money. In the end, many people took their own house deeds and land deeds to gamble. Gradually, this piece of paddy field was taken over by the third branch. If there were a few families who were not happy, they would force them to sell or buy."

While speaking, he wiped his tears, and his red face made people feel pitiful.

"You are not very detailed. Business is always profitable and loss-making. How can it be a sure win?"

"What this lady said is that if the people from the third house really took the money to do business, then we would have lost money and there is nothing to say. But the people from the third house took the money and did nothing. They just used the money from the east house to pretend to win it back from the west house, and then deceived the west house to invest more money. In this way, in just a few years, they have taken over all the paddy fields. Madam, what else can this be?"

The eldest aunt originally thought that there might be some misunderstanding, but now she feels that there are many tricks in it.

Although the third house also has a stake in the shipping business, it is not big.

These years, they have been busy with sadness and have never come to Qingshui Town at all, let alone heard about these things.

So they asked in a serious manner.

"If you say so, why didn't you make a fuss these years? Or report to the police, why didn't you go?"

If they had made a fuss or reported to the police, they would have heard some news anyway, but the fact was that they didn't, so the aunt was very suspicious of his motive for suddenly appearing here at this moment.

The uncle who complained sighed when he saw this.

"It was the third son of the Gu family who harmed us, and the seventh room of the Gu family who was the parent official. After the old marshal Gu and the sons of the Gu family died in the war, the old lady Gu was too busy to take care of herself, so how could she have the time and energy to take care of our trivial matters?"

After hearing what this person said, the aunt was the first to discover the problem, and walked to Gu Shaoyu and said.

"Shaoyu, you still need to inquire more before deciding."

Then she asked the uncle further.

"You said you have nowhere to turn to, then how did you find out that we are here today? And you just happened to turn to the police. Is there someone behind the scenes giving us advice? Intending to make the head of the family take action against the family members as soon as he takes office?"

It must be said that the eldest aunt has some skills after being in charge for many years.

The question got to the core of the matter in one sentence, and the eldest uncle's face soon turned ugly. Du Jingyi felt embarrassed beside him. He originally thought that he could legitimately search for the problem of this paddy field by acting like this, and thus lift the fig leaf of the third room.

Unexpectedly, he was seen through by the eldest aunt.

Therefore, just when he was thinking about trying to smooth things over, he suddenly saw that the eldest uncle who was crying hard a second ago suddenly changed his expression, pulled out a knife from his sleeve, and stabbed Du Jingyi who was next to Gu Shaoyu fiercely.

He looked like an evil ghost who wanted to eat people, which scared all the women.

But Gu Shaoyu was quick-witted and even without any preparation, he kicked the man in the heart, and his expression suddenly became full of murderous intent.

"Looking for death!"

He stepped forward and stomped hard on the man's arm holding the knife. In an instant, he heard the sound of broken bones, and the man screamed in pain.

Ping'er was not afraid at all and stepped forward, kicking the knife far away, and then learned some skills taught by his uncle Zhao, and immediately locked the man's throat, so that he could only howl but had no chance to leave.

Such a performance really surprised the eldest sister-in-law Liu, but what was more important at the moment was Du Jingyi, who immediately surrounded him and asked.

"How is it, are you okay?"

Although Du Jingyi was a little scared, he was fine.

Seeing that everyone looked worried, he could only suppress the fear in his heart and then said to everyone.

"It's okay, the general acted quickly, the man didn't hurt me."

Aunt Four hated this kind of backstabbing, so she stepped forward with anger in her eyes and kicked the man, then said ruthlessly with the expression she had when she was interrogating people in the army.

"Who sent you? What do you want to do?"

The man's face turned pale with pain, but he still refused to speak. Seeing this, Aunt Four didn't tolerate it, so she stepped forward and dislocated his jaw, then repeatedly ravaged his broken hand like pinching an ant.

Such a bloody scene, the eldest sister-in-law Liu and others all turned pale, only the eldest aunt and Gu Xiaolang were better, and others such as the second aunt and the third aunt also broke out in sweat.

Du Jingyi noticed it and hurried to Gu Shaoyu and said.

"General, everyone is still alive, you and the fourth aunt should stay away from them."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's anger dissipated a little, and then he glanced at the people on the ground, his face eased a little, and turned around and said.

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, get on the carriage first, go back to the ancestral hall to rest for a while, and then we will return home."

"Okay."

As for this person, before Gu Shaoyu could speak, the fourth aunt said with great interest.

"No one has taken action for so many years, leave him to me, I will definitely find out the person behind this!"

Gu Shaoyu knew the ability of the fourth aunt, so he didn't say any more nonsense, nodded and planned to escort everyone away first. When leaving, the eldest sister-in-law Liu called Ping'er.

But when Ping'er raised her head, she smiled and said to her mother.

"Don't worry, mother, I will accompany the fourth grandmother here to interrogate. My son will also experience ups and downs in the future, so let's start from now."
