The Wu family is not as tough as they appear.
Mr. Wu is old after all, and he was exhausted after a day of running around. He finally had a few moments of free time after dinner, but before he could even make a pot of tea, the elders of the clan came to visit him one after another.
The third master of the Wu family felt sorry for his old father. Seeing that his father was so tired that he seemed unable to open his eyes, he was somewhat unhappy and wanted to go out and send those clansmen away.
But Mr. Wu smiled instead and waved his hand at his son: "Forget it, let them in. This is a big deal after all. If you don't give an explanation, people will be in a panic. I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep or eat well these days."
Since the old man said so himself, the third master of the Wu family had no choice but to agree in a low voice. In the end, he listened to his father and went out to invite all his uncles and brothers into the house.
As soon as they entered the door, everyone started asking the old man about this matter.
The elders of the clan are all mature and steady, and they need to be patient.
The younger generation were all very nervous, and they talked about Su Yao's previous deeds one after another.
"This Crown Princess is very resourceful. When she was in Yunnan, she overcame all difficulties and set up a weaving factory. The weaving factory was built for the girls of the Tu ethnic group."
"I heard that the Crown Prince dotes on her very much and is willing to listen to her opinions on all matters, big or small."
Everyone was talking about it.
Mr. Wu closed his eyes and listened quietly for a while, then opened his eyes and coughed. When he saw that everyone was silent, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you done?"
No one said anything.
"Burning those girls to death was a unanimous decision made by the clan." Old Master Wu was the first to express his attitude, and glanced around: "What do you mean now? Seeing that the Crown Grand Consort is here, you speak so toughly, are you afraid?"
Everyone was silent for a moment.
It was the second old man who spoke first: "It's not that we are afraid, but after all, it's difficult for the people in the clan to do things in our current situation. It's different now than it was in the past. We were not afraid of the government before, but in recent years, pirates have become more and more rampant. If we offend the government too much..."
Although clans are extremely important, I am afraid that the court will suppress them too harshly.
In comparison, a balance of interests becomes necessary.
Old Master Wu raised his eyebrows. Before he could say anything, the third branch of the Wu family started to refute him loudly: "The offense was too severe?! What else are we afraid of?! Wujiabao has been established for so many years, and it has never changed the rules for anyone! Have you forgotten the lesson in front of you? Do you really want to leave those troubles behind? Are you going to repeat the tragedy of the past?!"
This sentence made everyone look a little sad.
Back then, that ungrateful person colluded with pirates, working together from both inside and outside, which directly led to the annihilation of the original clan leader's branch.
It is really a painful lesson.
Now that the third branch of the Wu family said this, everyone who was originally worried immediately changed their minds.
Old Master Wu smoked a water pipe and exhaled a puff of white air before he spoke slowly: "Alright, what are you arguing about? The rules that have been in place for so many years cannot be changed. As for the Crown Prince's Consort... I don't believe that they really want to kill everyone in Wujiabao just for a group of women!"
With the strong statements from their elders, the young people who had originally relaxed a little suddenly dared not say anything more.
The people from the third branch of the Wu family retreated in a heroic and confident manner.
As soon as he returned to his house, the Third Old Master saw a familiar face and immediately smiled and greeted him: "Hey, Second Master, why did you come here in person?"
Zhao Er was suppressed so much in front of the head of Qin family that he couldn't even raise his head, but when he came to the third branch of Wu family, he became the real boss.
He stood there with his hands behind his back and said, "You're back? What did they say over there?"
The Third Old Master was already a great-grandfather, but he still kept a low profile in front of Zhao Er. Hearing this, he replied respectfully: "Don't worry, Second Master, everything has been settled. In fact, the clan attaches great importance to rules, and this is the rule. No matter how noble the Crown Grand Consort is, can she really kill other people from the Wu Family Fort?"
While talking, the two of them slipped into the flower hall.
Zhao Er sat down in the main seat as a matter of course, took a grape and threw it into his mouth, curling the corners of his mouth nonchalantly: "Put it on, there can't be any mistakes in this matter, as long as it's delayed until the day after tomorrow, it will be fine."
The Third Old Master agreed and sat down. After observing Zhao Er's expression for a while, he asked Zhao Er with a smile, "By the way, Second Master, can this really be accomplished?"
"What do you think?" Zhao Er raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "Do you think I am kidding you? Just do your job well! Don't worry, hang up a white cloth at your house. I have already informed those people. Your family will not be harmed. Don't worry about the rest. Anyway, when this is over, you will naturally replace that conservative old man and become the patriarch of Wujiabao!"
The third old master couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Zhao Er was also very happy.
He really suffered a lot during this trip.
Not to mention that old bastard Zhou Zhengshan, even the boss Qin didn't take him seriously.
He finally made it through.
If we just wait another day and night until the pirates reach Wujiabao, everything will be over.
Then he will be able to go back and report to the princess.
Sooner or later, Boss Qin will meet a bad end!
He laughed for a while, and then asked the Third Old Master: "Are you sure you have figured out the address? Is the topographic map correct?"
Don't capsize in the ditch.
The Third Old Master nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, this is not a big deal. After all, our family is also the direct branch of the clan. Don't we have the ability to do this? We have already inquired about the place to place the Crown Grand Princess. There will be no mistake."
Zhao Er hummed: "Okay, then you guys can do whatever you need to do. I have to go out for a while."
The third old master quickly agreed.
Zhao Er walked around the city and stopped deliberately when passing by his ancestral home. He squinted his eyes at the house.
Several soldiers followed him in ordinary clothes. Seeing his appearance, they all advised him, "Don't worry, there will be no more mistakes."
Zhao Er was hoping that Su Yao would die soon.
But no matter how much we hope, we still have to wait. After all, we have to wait until Mr. Qin and his men have arranged everything.
But it’s okay, it will be here soon anyway.
He stared at the ancestral home and then went to look for prostitutes with a few soldiers.
It was late at night, but Su Yao still hadn't slept.
Mrs. Qin also did not sleep. She stayed in Su Yao's room and talked to him: "If what happened to the Wu family is true, then those girls really have no way to escape."
