First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 334 I'm Here to Take You Out

So even without Xie Yingfeng's deliberate publicity, the people of Mangcheng also saw so many Black Tiger Army soldiers digging ice.

When the people learned that Cui Yushan had disregarded everyone's lives and refused to approve the Black Tiger Army's use of explosives to blow up the ice, their anger reached its peak.

The Black Tiger Army had done so many good things in Mangcheng over the years, and the people lived in peace and security without having to worry about being invaded by the enemy, let alone the worry of flooding in the Songshui River. However, Cui Yushan, who was newly sent by the court, was only the head of the Foundry Department, but he did not care about the safety of the people at all and only knew how to do official business. So the people of Mangcheng were angry.

It hasn't been long since these good days came, and already someone wants to ruin them.

In the past, when disasters happened every three years, everyone would just accept their fate. But now, although there are obviously good solutions, they are being blocked and cannot be solved. How could the people be willing to agree to them?

The people in the northern part of the border town were already tough, and many of them took hoes and brooms and went to the gate of Li Garden where Cui Yushan and his wife lived to shout and curse.

Some people even dumped the unwanted rotten vegetable leaves from the vegetable market at the entrance of Lee Garden.

Because the crowd was so excited, Xie Yingfeng had to send out yamen runners to maintain the safety of Li Garden.

Don't be careless and let this group of people rush into Li Garden. Stealing things is a small matter, but injuring Zheng Wenxiu would be a big deal.

By then, Cui Yushan and his wife will go to the capital to file a complaint, saying that the people of Mangcheng have rebelled. That would be a big accusation!

Wei Ling's original intention was just to scare Cui Yushan and Zheng Wenxiu.

After all, they also need to build a large artificial lake outside Mangcheng and open up waterways, which requires explosives! It's not just as simple as blasting the ice.

Perhaps under pressure from the situation, Cui Yushan might approve the use of explosives to blast ice, but he would definitely not approve the use of explosives to blast waterways and artificial lakes.

So now Wei Ling also wants to take this opportunity to force Cui Yushan to recognize it as well.

He has explosives and can produce them himself in the villa on the mountain, but Cui Yushan must not know about it.

Zheng Wenxiu was in Lee Garden and was very angry when she heard that Lee Garden was surrounded by people and even people who went out to buy vegetables were not allowed to enter or leave.

She was just a flower watering in a greenhouse. Even when the Bo family was in decline, she never suffered. At most, her food, clothing and other expenses were not as good as before. She had never seen such a situation as the current one.

Originally, she wanted to put on her airs as the mistress of the house and go to the door to give some advice.

Who would have thought that just as the corner door on the Lee Garden side was opened, someone shouted, "Open the door," and then a blanket of rotten vegetable leaves flew over.

Some people threw the leaves accurately, and the vegetable leaves went straight through the crack in the door.

This frightened Zheng Wenxiu so much that she turned pale and dared not go to the door and put on airs and dignity as the mistress of the house.

She returned to the inner courtyard, cursing at the people all the way, and asked someone to notify Cui Yushan.

Soon a servant came back to report, "It's bad, Madam, no one in our house can get out!"

"What do you mean I can't get out!" Zheng Wenxiu's face turned pale, and her voice trembled a little, but she still held her breath and said angrily, "It's broad daylight, doesn't the Mangcheng government care? Just let these unruly people do whatever they want?"

"There are yamen runners blocking the way outside. If there weren't any yamen runners blocking the way, I'm afraid the gate would have been smashed!" said the servant tremblingly.

"Do you know what it's all about?" Zheng Wenxiu asked.

She still doesn't know why there was such a commotion outside.

The servant had no choice but to tell the truth.

They originally brought a hundred guards, but most of them stayed in the yamen. There were only twenty people at home to guard the house, but when they looked through the crack in the door just now, they saw that there were more than a few hundred people outside!

"Are they going to rebel?" Zheng Wenxiu was anxious and angry.

"Madam, madam, the wife of Marquis Zhenbei has sent a letter." A maid reported from outside.

Zheng Wenxiu didn't care about anything else when she heard it, "Please come in quickly!"

After the maid responded and left, Zheng Wenxiu came to her senses. No one from Li Garden was allowed to enter or leave, so how was Su Jixiang, the wife of Marquis Zhenbei, allowed to enter or leave?

Could it be that these people were the ones Wei Ling called to cause trouble?

Zheng Wenxiu was thinking quickly when Su Jixiang came in quickly with two maids.

But she looked a little disheveled, with two rotten vegetable leaves hanging from her body.

"Oh, the crowd outside is so angry!" Su Jixiang shook the vegetable leaves as soon as he came in and said to Zheng Wenxiu, "Is Madam Cui okay?"

Zheng Wenxiu wanted to roll her eyes to the sky. "All right, all right!" she responded, and welcomed the person in and prepared to ask for tea. But deep down, she hated the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei in front of her.

What a drama here!

If the people outside blocking the door had not been secretly planned by Marquis Zhenbei, she would have eaten the mahogany table in front of her!

"How did Madam get in?" Zheng Wenxiu asked hypocritically, pretending to be concerned.

"Don't mention it. The people outside are very angry. Fortunately, my husband still has some prestige among the people." Su Jixiang said, "That's why he didn't embarrass me. The number of yamen runners in Mangcheng is not large, and I don't know how long they can hold out. My master was also very anxious when he learned that the people surrounded Li Garden, fearing that something might happen to the lady, so he asked me to come over and get the lady out."

It would be best if we could leave Lee Garden.

Zheng Wenxiu also witnessed the anger of the people, but who knows if she would leave the wolf pack and fall into the tiger's mouth again.

Seeing Zheng Wenxiu's expression flash with a hint of joy and then immediately darken, Su Jixiang knew that she was worried about something else.

"Don't worry, Madam Cui. The people of Mangcheng still respect the carriage of my Zhenbei Marquis Mansion." Su Jixiang said, "Madam, wrap yourself in my maid's cloak, and I will take you out and get on the carriage and you will be safe."

Zheng Wenxiu was about to refuse, but she heard a loud noise outside and she didn't know what was going on.

"Oh no, ma'am, the horse post in front of the door has been pushed down!" Someone came to report it soon, and now everyone knew where the sound came from.

"Okay, okay!" Zheng Wenxiu couldn't sit still after hearing that. Even such a solid horse post could be pushed down... then the gate was indeed in danger!

"Hurry up and change your cloak with your wife." Su Jixiang said to Lushui.

Zheng Wenxiu put on a green cloak and followed Su Jixiang, and was quickly led out of Lee Garden by Su Jixiang.

The moment the door opened, countless rotten vegetable leaves flew over.

Guihua quickly stepped forward and scolded, "She is the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei, you must not act rashly!"

She held the token of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion in her hand, and the besieging people finally calmed down and took the initiative to make way for Su Jixiang and his party to pass.

Zheng Wenxiu followed closely behind Su Jixiang, her heart beating like a drum.
