Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 142. Clan Members
As the two were talking, the line in front of them suddenly stopped, and there was even a commotion.

Ma Zhi frowned, stuffed the dried meat into his pocket, and said, "You go back quickly, I'll go check first."

The sound of whips cracking echoed, accompanied by cries of agony.

Seeing Liu Pingkang and the others rushing over with their whips, Gu Kaiyuan quietly followed behind.

There are many others like him. Everyone wants to see what happened. So many days have passed, who would dare to cause trouble in the team?

Bai Suihe sat in the car pouting, because the two maids were stopping her and wouldn't let her get out of the car.

"I don't know what happened up ahead. Your son-in-law is still up there." Bai Suihe didn't expect that Gu Kaiyuan would slip away after she had only closed her eyes for a short while.

She wasn't worried about Gu Kaiyuan being in danger; she was just curious and wanted to see what was going on.

Sitting in the car all day, either sleeping or spacing out, with nothing to do for entertainment, how could one not be excited when something like this happens?

If she wasn't mistaken, this riot was caused by the Gu family again. Thinking of Gu Baijiang, who might be in trouble, Bai Suihe felt even more restless.

"Okay, Dongmei, let me go take a look. We'll stay far away, and I promise I won't get close."

Dongmei and Chunxiang shook their heads at the same time, "The young master instructed us to keep an eye on Miss, and with the situation so chaotic up ahead, it's best if we don't go and join the fun."

After saying that, Dongmei poked her head out and said, "Datou, drive the oxcart a little further away, let's move to the side and wait."

With so many livestock, if they get startled, they might get caught in the crossfire. It would be best to clear out the area for them.

Bai Suihe really wanted to say that it wouldn't be that bad. With Liu Pingkang and the others in charge, things wouldn't get completely chaotic, just slightly chaotic.

There was nothing she could do; she couldn't argue with so many people on her own. All she could do was watch longingly outside, hoping that Gu Kaiyuan would come back soon. Even if she couldn't get a good look, hearing about it would be nice.

Gu Kaiyuan didn't approach, but stayed far away from the Gu family, where he could still see clearly with his eyesight.

Liu Pingkang lashed out with his whip and quickly subdued the Gu family members who were fighting amongst themselves.

Looking at these people, he put one hand on his hip, pointed his whip at them, and asked coldly, "What's wrong with you all? You've come here to cause trouble, haven't you?"

Only then did Gu Li, supported by his two sons, walk over shakily. "Sir, we didn't want to cause trouble, but we've been wronged."

Our large family worked hard to make a living in the countryside, and none of us expected such a disaster to strike.

To this day, we still don't know what crime we've committed, so we came to ask my nephew.

But who knew these people looked down on us poor relatives? They started by beating and verbally abusing us. We had no choice but to fight back.

Anyway, when they arrived, the procession was moving forward, so how many people were paying attention to this side?

Even if they saw it, so what? The Gu family has so many strong men, do you think these people would dare to go against them?
Gu Baijiang and his two sons got up from the ground with bruises and swelling on their faces. Gu Baijiang, in particular, had his face, which had been scabbed over, now completely torn open again, making him look even more ferocious.

Liu Pingkang couldn't help but gasp. These newcomers were truly ruthless, knowing how to target weaknesses. "They're talking nonsense," Gu Kaichen said angrily, pointing at the Gu clan members. "We don't even know them, but they came up and grabbed my father and beat him. My father and I didn't even have a chance to fight back."

When these people arrived, the father and his two sons were leading an oxcart and discussing some trivial matters when these people suddenly appeared and attacked them.

“Yes, they’re talking nonsense. They didn’t give us a chance to speak at all,” Gu Baijiang chimed in. He was still dizzy from the beating and couldn’t even see who was standing in front of him.

"Gu Baijiang, you are truly an unfilial descendant of the Gu family."

The entire Gu family supported you into an official career, and this is how you treat your family and repay them?

Gu Li pointed to his old face, "Take a good look at me, and see who we are?"

"Uncle," Gu Baijiang heard Gu Li's words and immediately knew why the voice sounded familiar. It turned out to be the clan chief and uncle whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"Don't call me uncle, I don't have a nephew like you." Gu Li asked angrily, "Ever since you entered officialdom and went home to pay respects to your ancestors, you have never returned. Over the years, you have ignored your family. We even took care of the graves of your grandfather and parents, but is this how you treat us?"

What crime did you commit outside? Why are you dragging us into this?
We scrimped and saved back then to send you to justice, and it really was a mistake?

"Gu Baijiang, how has your family treated you? And what have you done to repay your family all these years?"
"We're really unlucky to be related to someone like you." Gu Baihe helped his father compose himself. They had suffered enough on the journey, all because of Gu Baijiang.

"They are utterly heartless. After all these years, they still don't even know where the clan's territory is. All the money we spent back then was wasted."

"This is an ingrate! How could Heaven be so blind as to let such a person become an official? He's a scourge to the entire clan!"

"This matter cannot be left unresolved; we must seek justice from him..."

……

The dozens of members of the Gu family were all speaking at once, and they were all criticizing Gu Baijiang.

The escort, who had initially harbored resentment about the incident, now stood by with his arms crossed, watching the show. This scene was even more entertaining than the storytelling in the teahouse.

Even Liu Pingkang wanted to see how Gu Baijiang would solve this problem.

Hearing the accusations, Gu Baijiang swayed and turned pale.

He knelt dejectedly on the ground, his voice filled with remorse.

"It is I, Gu Baijiang, who have let everyone down. I, Gu Baijiang, am a sinner of the family..."

"Don't try that on us," the Gu clan members said, showing no mercy. Their once prosperous lives had been ruined because of this man, who had also prevented their descendants from taking the imperial examinations. They wished they could skin Gu Baijiang alive.

“You’ve put us in such a predicament, and you think kneeling down will make things go away? Let me tell you, this isn’t over.”

"Yes, everyone, don't be soft-hearted. He ruined the entire family by himself. Our home was destroyed because of him. We must settle this score with him."

The entire Gu family was dressed in rags, but look at Gu Baijiang's family, they are all so plump. How is that possible?
"It's all my fault..." Gu Baijiang kept repeating this one sentence, never mentioning where he went wrong or how to make amends.
"Since it's your fault, you have to make compensation. You have to return our family business to me..."
