Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 1132: Successfully Rescued

Squad Leader Song saw the large fire and was delighted; this truly was a lifesaving fire.

Without hesitation, Squad Leader Song took advantage of the Tong Family’s guards being stunned and rushed inside with the government officials.

...

Elder Tong was in the woodshed watching Elder Tong Er, instructing him to have two protectors hold Liu Wenqing, position his head towards the wall, and make it seem like Liu Wenqing died after hitting the wall himself, when suddenly the Guardian Master outside shouted, "Old Master, it’s bad, the antique warehouse is on fire!"

The words, "the antique warehouse is on fire," struck Elder Tong and Elder Tong Er like thunder.

The two hurried to open the door of the woodshed and rushed out, looking up to see the raging fire in the antique warehouse, their faces changed immediately, and they quickly said, "Put out the fire, hurry and put out the fire!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

However, Elder Tong was shrewd and knew this sudden fire was suspicious, fearing it might be a ploy to lure them away from their post. He said to Elder Tong Er, "Second, hurry and make sure to kill Liu Wenqing with those two protectors first. Make sure he’s completely dead before putting out the fire; don’t let this matter become a mess!"

Elder Tong Er responded, "Yes, don’t worry Father, I will definitely handle this properly. You should hurry and check the antique warehouse."

That warehouse must not have any accidents. If the upper part of the antique warehouse is burned and collapses, revealing the things below, the whole family would perish.

Elder Tong, with a grim face, nodded, took more than a hundred guards, and turned towards the courtyard of the antique warehouse, instructing the Guardian Master, "Take half of the protectors and search the mansion, be sure to find the arsonist!"

This fire wasn’t simple, it couldn’t have started so coincidentally—someone must have set it intentionally, and he must catch that person, or he won’t have a peaceful day ever again.

"Yes," the Guardian Master immediately took fifty protectors, divided them into five teams, and began searching all corners of the Tong Family estate.

But it was Xiao Sui who set the fire, being cunning and having learned disguise skills from Qin San Lang. The Tong Family’s guards capturing him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

And Xiao Sui was hiding not elsewhere but in the woodshed courtyard, watching Elder Tong Er and the others try to kill Liu Wenqing, and then looking at the stunned Old Master Liu Er and Liu Wenqing’s father, he was furious.

What animals are these two? Someone is trying to kill their grandson/son right in front of them, how can they be so indifferent?

Xiao Sui couldn’t stand it anymore, he took out two iron pieces, lifted the tiles on the roof, and with two swift strikes, hit Old Master Liu Er and Liu Wenqing’s father.

The two were startled with a jump, Liu Wenqing’s father came to his senses, looked at Liu Wenqing, saw his eyes dull like a corpse, his heart stirred suddenly, a surge of fatherly love awoke, and as Liu Wenqing was being held by the protectors and headed for the wall, he frantically rushed out to block the wall.

With a bang, Liu Wenqing’s head hit his own father’s stomach, causing his father to spew up, but his head was unharmed, allowing him to survive.

Liu Wenqing’s eyes, which seemed dead, now had a glimmer of life. He looked at his father, tears poured out continuously, his look of despair and grievance would move anyone and showed he was unjustly blamed.

Liu Er cried, hugging Liu Wenqing, yelled at Elder Tong Er: "Stop, you beasts, stop! Don’t think you can kill my Qing brother! My Qing brother is the most honest, born only to be bullied, and never harmed anyone. Tonight’s event, your Tong family must be framing him, you will not kill him!"

At this moment, Liu Er seemed like a protective wolf, fierce and determined, making Elder Tong Er somewhat afraid.

But Elder Tong Er was doing this for his own son’s sake.

Tong San had drugged Liu Wenqing, intending to sleep with Liu Wenqing but was caught by Young Master Shi; this matter must never spread outside, all fault must be shifted to Liu Wenqing and Liu Wenqing silenced. This was the only way to protect his son’s reputation, so he could participate in the exam, enter the government, and become a high official.

"Pull Liu Er away and tie him up!" Elder Tong Er instructed the protectors.

Two protectors quickly let go of Liu Wenqing to grab Liu Er. But Liu Er held onto Liu Wenqing tightly and shouted, "You won’t kill Qing brother, you won’t kill Qing brother!"

He shouted repeatedly, but beyond this, Liu Er could do nothing.

He hadn’t trained in martial arts and lacked the strength compared to the protectors and was soon pulled away by two protectors, his hands twisted behind him and tied with thick rope.

Old Master Liu Er was bewildered the whole time, once Liu Er was securely tied up, he trembled and said, "Elder Tong Er, why, why have you tied up my second son? That’s not what we agreed, please let him go."

It’s clear his grandson won’t survive, but he can’t lose his son too.

Xiao Sui was convinced, what kind of world-renowned coward is this Old Master Liu Er? Even Liu Er saw his son about to be killed and managed to protect the child, but Old Master Liu Er never thought of saving Liu Wenqing.

Elder Tong Er sneered, "Your second son is seeking death, you can’t blame us."

He then urged the two protectors, "What are you waiting for, hurry and kill Liu Wenqing!"

"Yes," the two protectors once again picked up the bound Liu Wenqing, aiming his head at the wall.

But Liu Wenqing was truly lucky, he didn’t die, as Squad Leader Song and the others arrived, kicking open the woodshed door, witnessing the protectors attempting to kill Liu Wenqing, throwing knife sheaths straight at the back of the protectors’ heads.

With two bangs, the protectors were painfully struck, their grip loosened, and with insufficient force, upon impact, Liu Wenqing’s head hit the wall but wasn’t fatal, only making him dizzy.

"Stop, how dare you attempt to murder, is there no law?" Squad Leader Song was shocked by the scene, immediately moving forward, grabbing one protector by the back collar, dragging him forcibly.

With a bang, the protector was dragged and fell flat.

The other protector was similarly pinned by a group of rushing government officials.

Squad Leader Song turned and immediately seized Elder Tong Er, pinning him against the wall, and said, "Don’t move, dare to resist, and you’ll get it."

Elder Tong Er was stunned, his face turned somewhat pale, but he remained calm and said, "Squad Leader Song, you misunderstood, we didn’t intentionally try to kill Liu Wenqing, but Liu Wenqing made a mistake, and his grandfather and father decided to settle it privately, that’s why we acted this way."

In Great Chu, if the people don’t report it, the government won’t investigate, and the people are afraid of the government; thus, many matters are settled privately, even life and death, as long as the heads of two families agree, it can happen.

Squad Leader Song said, "Don’t talk nonsense with me, even if Liu Wenqing made a mistake, you can’t just kill him like this, this violates Criminal Law!"

He continued, "Stop talking, I don’t care if you planned to settle this privately, but since we witnessed this matter, as government officers of the mansion office, we won’t let you continue this!"
