Chapter 125 - Chapter 125: Chapter 120 Stupid Wang Furen i (2/2)
“It’s getting late, please Miss Wang hurry up and get on the carriage! Your family asked Official Liu to register, and the list of names has already been submitted, now saying you won’t go is definitely not acceptable. If it’s traced back from above, that would be a serious crime.”
The official’s emissary sternly urged the father and daughter inside the house.
“I won’t go! If there’s a crime to be punished, then punish me already!”
Wang Wanyan shouted angrily.
“How dare you speak like that?”
The official’s emissary typically lorded it over the common people, and although he was just a lowly runner at the bottom of the officialdom, he became as overbearing as a crab when he dealt with the villagers.
Just like the eunuchs in the ancient Emperor Palace, who bowed and scraped inside, living like groveling dogs.
Once they left the palace, they immediately owned private mansions and kept women, with local officials flocking to pay their respects.
“My lord, I beg your pardon, please don’t take offense at my daughter’s words. I’ll persuade her again, and we’ll be ready immediately.”
Wang Furen started another round of persuasion.
However, Wan Yan remained unyielding.
“All this prattle is just wasting my time. Just tie her up and take her away.”
The official’s runner grew impatient.
He strode into the house, ready to tie up Wang Wanyan.
“No, no, that won’t do!”
Seeing the situation unfold, Wang Furen quickly pleaded and tried to intercede.
He was afraid his daughter would get hurt.
“Get out of the way! You have no say in this now!”
The emissary was very aggressive, and if he didn’t bring someone back, how could he answer to his superiors?
The runner’s cultivation wasn’t bad, at least twofold above that of an ordinary person. With a casual flick, Wang Furen was sent tumbling to one side, hitting his head and forming a large bump.
The runner walked briskly towards Wang Wanyan, holding a rope in his hand.
It seemed he was no stranger to this kind of work, quite prepared for the task.
Bang!
The body of the official’s runner flew out of the door and slammed hard onto the steps.
“Ow, it hurts so much! You, you wench, how outrageous, I am an emissary of the officials, you dare to harm me, I shall have you thrown into the great prison!”
The runner was extremely shocked and angry.
Perhaps he never imagined that such a delicate-looking girl could possess such mighty strength.
He was no match for her.
Taking a beating, the runner dared not enter again, but instead prepared to drive the carriage back to the city to seek reinforcements.
“Hold on!”
Qin Niu blocked the carriage’s path.
“Where did this troublemaking peasant come from, get out of the way!”
The runner was furious, having just been beaten by Wang Wanyan and now obstructed by a youth from the countryside. What kind of place was this Shuangfeng Village?
A place of poor and fierce land that produced nothing but troublemakers.
“Get down from there!”
Qin Niu immediately brandished the bronze Fish Talisman.
“Aiyoh… it turns out to be Master Qin, I am a blind fool and deserve to be punished!”
The moment the runner saw the bronze Fish Talisman, he was scared out of his wits.
Even ordinary officials did not have such an object; it was something that only a Historian of that rank would possess.
He was merely an emissary of the officials, practically on par with an idler, how could he dare offend Qin Niu?
He rolled off the carriage and began slapping his own face.
“Enough, enough. Just for your raising your voice at this Insect Master, you could be charged with a crime. Do you want to rot in jail, or would you prefer to take this piece of Silver Money and go back?”
Qin Niu took out One Tael of Silver.
“I wouldn’t dare to acceptyour Silver Money, sir!”
The runner waved his hands repeatedly to refuse.
“Tell your superior that Miss Wang is very ill, gravely ill in fact. If you handle this well, this is your tip. If you fail, then you better add a little more to buy several coffins, as I’ll see your whole family laid to rest.”
Qin Niu spoke indifferently, his expression unwavering.
The runner was scared witless.
Today was truly an unlucky day, not only had he been beaten by a girl, but now he had also encountered an even more terrifying presence.
He couldn’t afford to provoke such a person.
“I will do my utmost to handle this affair!”
The moment the runner heard that if the matter wasn’t handled well, Qin Niu would kill all of his family, he knelt on the ground immediately.
