Chapter 209: Self-inflicted
The other party obeyed and pulled hard, and a chain reaction started as if the wall was exploding. Iron spiked balls smashed down from the top, as well as a pile of unknown white powder.
A group of people outside the horseman had no time to dodge. Many people were hit by the iron spiked balls and were bloody and bloody. Many people's eyes hurt and they couldn't open their eyes. The horseman was no exception. In addition to being unable to open his eyes, I found that my body was inexplicably hot and itchy, and I fell to the ground rolling and screaming.
When Ma Yujie and his wife arrived, they happened to see this scene. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, but Liu Tiechui only felt happy.
The two pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward.
Ma Yujie was sad and angry, and looked at the villagers standing in a circle fiercely, "Who did it?"
Shen Ying stepped forward and said seriously: "Madam of the town official , none of us took action against them."
"That's right, it's obvious that they are looking for trouble and bringing it upon themselves. What does it have to do with us?"
"Even the town official's wife cannot be unreasonable. Ah! This is too obvious!”
“Su Tai is so unlucky. If you sit at home, trouble will come from the sky!”
The villagers spoke out against each other. Ma Yujie was ashamed, angry and aggrieved, and looked at Liu Tiechui with red eyes.
Liu Tiechui sighed and hurriedly sent people to send Ma Yuanwai and his party to the town hospital. Then he said to Ma Yujie: "You also go back and take a look. I will understand the situation here. Who is it?" I will treat him fairly and justly."
"Husband, my father was hurt like that" Ma Yujie bit her lip and was about to cry. She also knew what kind of virtue her own father was, and it must be him in this matter. There was a mistake first, but now that people are like this, she would not be willing to punish him again.
Liu Tiechui shook his head seriously and signaled her to calm down with his eyes.
After Ma Yujie was helped onto the carriage by the maid, Liu Tiechui looked at the gate and courtyard wall of Shen Yi's house.
This was his first time here. He didn’t expect that the Shen Yi family would be so impressive. It seemed that the Shen family’s wealth was better than he thought. Such a family should not be offended easily.
With confidence in mind, Liu Tiechui asked someone to knock on the door.
The villagers watched for a while and couldn't help but remind them: "You have to shake the stake, otherwise the people inside won't hear."
Liu Tiechui was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to shake the stake himself.
After a while, the courtyard door really opened.
Su Tai looked at the group of people outside the door with confusion, "What's wrong?"
Seeing her eyes full of confusion, Liu Tiechui suddenly didn't know how to speak.
Shen Ying stepped forward anxiously and said: "Just now, the town horsemen and people came to your house to cause trouble. They are planning to climb over the wall. Didn't you know?"
Su Tai glanced at her house The wall and the ground suddenly realized, "No wonder I just heard a noise and thought it was a dog knocking something over!"
Everyone: "."
Liu Tiechui looked at Su Tai with an expression on his face. It was hard to explain in words, "Ms. Shen Su, there was so much noise outside just now and you really didn't hear anything at all?"
Why didn't he believe it? Su Tai nodded and said innocently: "My son was greedy for cold food and had a bad stomach yesterday. He was in trouble all night. I was resting with my two children in the backyard just now, and I really couldn't hear anything going on in the front yard. What's wrong? Someone was injured." ?”
The villagers nodded vigorously and told Su Tai what happened.
Liu Tiechui found that Su Tai was not worried at all, and became more and more curious about this family.
"Can you please invite me in to sit down?"
Su Tai nodded slightly, "Please come in, Lord Town Official."
Su Tai entertained them in the pergola of the yard, first serving them a pot of strawberries, Then there is a pot of freshly picked grapes, grape juice that has been stabilized in well water, and a plate of cakes and bread.
"Please use it, Lord Town Official."
Liu Tiechui knew the strength of the Shen Yi family when he saw this table, and became more polite to Su Tai, "It seems that Master Shen and I also hit it off. He You have helped me a lot. If you don’t mind, I will call you sister-in-law.
What happened today is all because of my father-in-law. I caught up with him as soon as I received the news, but it was still a step too late. Fortunately, it didn't cause any serious disaster."
Su Tai shook her head solemnly, "I can't say that, Ma Yuanwai and the others must have been seriously injured! Those iron spiked balls are all custom-made and very sharp. If you are not careful, you will hurt someone. If you hit it from the wall, it is very likely to cause casualties. Coupled with the special powder, those people will lose half their lives."
"Is it so serious?" Liu Tiechui suddenly realized. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, she suddenly looked at the Shen family wall, "I wonder why Shen Yi installed such a dangerous thing on the wall?"
Su Tai looked at him funny and said matter-of-factly: " Of course it’s to protect us! You’ve also seen how high our wall is. It’s really impossible to climb up without the skills and tools. Why are you climbing over my wall for no reason? There must be an ulterior motive. These methods are just for this purpose. It's just a child-proofing and a bad guy. It's fine if no one is thinking wrongly. If someone really cares about it, they will only ask for trouble.
With these things, I can take care of the child with peace of mind even if Shen Yi is not at home. Yes, isn’t it?”
Liu Tiechui's mouth twitched slightly, could he say something bad? But it's true that my father-in-law was so badly injured. I'm afraid they will admit defeat this time.
He sighed in his heart and said: "Of course this is a good idea. I came in because I wanted to apologize for my troubled father-in-law and my younger siblings. The reason why he is so angry is to trouble you. Because of those rumors, I don’t know if what my siblings are saying is true or not, but my father-in-law is a tough guy and takes money very seriously. What you said to him is damaging his property, so he will be so angry that he loses it. Reason."
Su Tai sighed and shook his head, "Master Zhenguan, do you think I shouldn't say those words?"
Liu Tiechui did not answer.
Su Tai sneered: "First of all, I just popularized some knowledge about Ringo. What is true is true, it cannot be fake, and what is fake cannot be true. Besides, I have never denied it from beginning to end. It will only take three or four years for Ringo to bear fruit.
Looking at it from another perspective, it is a good thing that I tell these things in advance. If the autumn harvest comes and the people who plant Ringo fail to harvest anything, you will feel angry. What will they do? They will plow up the forest trees, and then go to Ma Yuan’s house to make trouble, right? If the Linju tree is really destroyed, Ma Yuanwai can also appease the people for three or four years, isn't it good?"
Liu Tiechui suddenly realized and respected Su Tai, "My brothers and sisters are absolutely right, We judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, and I will solemnly apologize to you for my father-in-law."
Liu Tiechui stood up and bowed with his fists.
Su Tai turned away slightly, "The town official is too polite. I have told you everything. Please keep the horsemen in check and don't come to our house again to cause trouble. That wall is just the tip of the iceberg. We There are many ways to treat unkind guests. Of course, I don’t want anyone to try it. After all, who can guarantee that no one will die? ”
