Chapter 262: Finding Someone to Settle the Score (3)
Looking at Gu Wenlang who had taken the lead, Zhang Guanghong laughed three times, "What a coward! I thought he was such a great man, but he dared to use me, Zhang Guanghong, as a gun, but he turned out to be a coward!"
Being pointed at and scolded in public, Gu Wenlang immediately became angry.
"Don't spit bloody words at me! I advise you to take your people away immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhang Guanghong stared at his bruised face and sneered at his words, "Oh? Then I want to see how you can be rude."
"Mr. Zhang, I respect you as a kind-hearted person, but I didn't expect you to be so unreasonable!" Gu Wenlang couldn't stand others looking at him with contempt, as if he was some lowly thing.
"I'm unreasonable? Fine! Then I'll be reasonable and let everyone hear what is despicable and shameless!"
As soon as Zhang Guanghong finished speaking, Butler Zhong immediately said to A Guang and the others, "Tell us everything that A Quan asked you to do, loudly!"
When he heard the other party mention A Quan again, Gu Wenlang couldn't help feeling a little strange, because there was indeed a person named A Quan in his house.
When Butler Zhong shouted at Ah Guang and the other three, they all trembled in fear. In the end, Ah Guang was the first to speak, and the other three also spoke in detail in order to save their lives.
When A Guang mentioned that A Quan asked him to take the young master to frame Miss Liu Yingying from Liujia Village, Gu Wenlang's calm expression instantly cracked, and the people outside were also in an uproar.
As luck would have it, Zhao Xier came out at this moment.
She said angrily, "My husband and I are new here, and we don't even know a girl named Liu Yingying. You guys are lying too much!"
Zhang Guanghong glanced at her calmly and said, "Call your Ah Quan out and let them confront each other face to face."
"My family doesn't have a servant named A Quan. We had one before, but he left a few days ago." Zhao Xier paced to Gu Wenlang's side and said coldly.
Zhang Guanghong narrowed his sharp eyes. Before he met Mrs. Gu, he was unable to confirm the mastermind behind this incident, but now he knew it clearly.
When the slave mentioned the girl's name, the man surnamed Gu's eyes fluctuated. It was obvious that he knew the girl, and his wife seemed to be trying hard to cover up something.
Therefore, if his inference was correct, it was this hateful woman who asked the servants to incite these lowly slaves to harm his grandson!
"Keep talking!" Zhang Guanghong said coldly. Do you really think that his Zhang family is so easy to mess with?
So, A Guang and the other three who were interrupted by Zhao Xier continued the previous topic. When Miss Liu's address was detailed to Xiaopingpo, Gu Wenlang's expression could no longer be concealed.
Seeing this, Zhang Guanghong sneered, "With such a strong reaction, it seems that Master Gu also knows that girl."
"...I don't know him." Gu Wenlang noticed Zhao Xier's gaze and subconsciously denied it.
Zhang Guanghong didn't need to say anything, Zhao Xier saw Gu Wenlang's strong reaction to that woman and couldn't help feeling a dull pain in her heart.
She tried her best to please this man, was gentle to him in everything, and was even willing to marry him despite her parents' opposition. But in the end, this man was still thinking about his country fiancée!
But these were not what she could say now. She held back her anger and fought back against Zhang Guanghong's words.
"Master Zhang, although I am not a local, I am not a coward! From the beginning to the end, your people have been talking about their own things. Do you have any evidence to prove that my family did it? Besides, we have no grudges and we don't interfere with each other. Do we need to cause trouble for ourselves?!"
"That's why we asked Madam Gu to hand over A Quan. You can't hide him." Butler Zhong said.
Zhao Xier sneered, "Hide? Do I, Zhao Xier, need to hide? Since you have no evidence, I advise you to leave my house immediately! Otherwise, I will sue the officials for slander and trespassing! Look at Qinghe County, is there any law in the country?!"
When everyone saw Zhao Xier speak so confidently, they couldn't help but feel a little shaken. Could it be that the rich man Zhang really misunderstood her?
As a result, the next second, without Zhang Guanghong saying anything, Butler Zhong stretched out his hand and made an attitude of "please come".
You won’t cry until you see the coffin!
"You!" Zhao Xier was so angry that suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. Then her body swayed and she was about to faint.
Gu Wenlang quickly hugged her and said in a slightly anxious tone: "Xi'er, are you okay?"
Zhao Xier frowned, half-closed her eyes and said softly, "I'm fine, I just feel a little stuffy in my chest and a little headache."
Gu Wenlang thought she was angry and sick, so after coaxing her for a few words, he suddenly turned around and glared at Zhang Guanghong, "Master Zhang, my wife has said what needs to be said. If you continue to be stubborn, then I will sue the authorities to resolve the matter."
Zhang Guanghong smiled, "Okay, let's sue the authorities. But before we do, let me show you who my people intercepted behind your house."
Zhao Xier, who wanted to pretend to be sick and get away with it, felt a sudden shock in her heart when she heard this. Could it be what she thought?
It turned out to be just as she thought.
After a while, Zhang's servants came in, carrying the struggling Ah Quan through the crowd.
Ah Quan, who had been threatened with a knife by Zhang Guanghong, cried like a fool the moment he saw his master. He shouted at them, "Miss! Son-in-law! Save Ah Quan! Ah Quan doesn't want to die!!"
Zhao Xier was so angry at his crying that her throat felt sweet and fishy. She secretly hated him for being incapable of doing anything but always causing trouble. If she had known this, she should not have let him leave. Instead...
But now it's too late.
The only thing she could do was to deny it or put the blame on him.
So she stood up straight and looked at Ah Quan with a little surprise, "Ah Quan? Why is it you? Didn't you leave a few days ago? Didn't you say you were going back to your hometown?"
Ah Quan threw it on the ground. Hearing the young lady's words, he was a little confused, "What?"
Zhang Guanghong and his companions watched her perform silently.
But when A Guang saw A Quan who had tricked him to death, he wanted to pounce on him and beat him.
"It's you! You asked me to do this! You gave me sixty taels of silver and told me that you would give me another forty taels after the job was done! But you cheated me..."
One hundred taels! The jaws of the people watching outside almost dropped to the ground. Then they thought, Ah Quan is just a servant, where does he get so much money to send people to do things?
Thinking of this, these people turned their fiery gazes to the livid Zhao Xier and the astonished Gu Wenlang.
As soon as the huge sum of one hundred taels was paid, Shuanzi and the others began to attack A Guang, because A Guang lied to them and said that there were only eighty taels in total, and he still took the lion's share!
"What's the matter? Are Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu still going to sue the authorities?" Zhang Guanghong gave Zhao Xier a look and said in a flat tone.
