Chapter 80. Against
Liu Pingkang said, "You say it so lightly. Do you know that they are all serious criminals of the imperial court? Taking them away is no different from taking our lives. Today, you either leave them here or you die."

If this family was unlucky and died during exile, then they would not be held responsible. However, if they were kidnapped by this group of people and the court investigated, they might be charged as accomplices. These escorts knew which was more serious.

So they all drew their swords and surrounded the people.

The families who had originally gathered here had already taken this opportunity to hide far away.

Gu Kaiyuan also heard the noise early on, and asked Zhuang Datou and others to protect Bai Suihe, and then hurriedly joined the escort team.

Seeing the miserable family in the middle, Gu Kaiyuan once again lamented that all the efforts he made in his previous life were wasted.

In the previous life, with the Bai family's 10,000 taels of silver notes as a base, they purchased a lot of supplies.

Fearing that someone might have bad intentions, Gu Kaiyuan was in charge of keeping watch on the first night. He discovered these people as soon as they arrived.

He hurriedly woke up his family and stood in front of the Gu family to prevent them from falling into the hands of the men in black.

With the help of the escorts, this group of men in black were quickly driven away.

But he was also injured, with his back and arms cut, and because he did not receive timely medicine, the wounds became festered.

Thinking of the dark days during that period, Gu Kaiyuan once again told himself that his choice was right.

"Brothers, catch them for me." Liu Pingkang didn't have time to argue with them and gave the order directly.

If they don't take action and really lose the person, they will be charged with a more serious crime if the news is reported back.

The two sides started fighting. Gu Kaiyuan tried to rush in several times, but was always pushed to the periphery.

Chen Dafu asked his two sons to catch the man. "Third nephew of the Gu family, you are risking your life! They are fighting, why are you rushing in?"

"But my parents are still in there." Gu Kaiyuan looked anxious.

"Everyone knows that your parents are in there? But you are going in empty-handed and fighting them with swords and knives with your bare hands?" Chen Dafu said with a serious face. He groped behind him and handed him a big stick.

He handed it over reluctantly, "This is what I use to walk, please don't break it."

Gu Kaiyuan, “…”

"Is this kid scared silly?" Madam Chen had been paying attention to the fight ahead. Seeing Gu Kaiyuan quiet down, she asked curiously, "Didn't my master give you a weapon? Hurry up and attack!"

"Oh," Gu Kaiyuan took the stick. In his previous life, Chen Dafu and his family had stayed far away, but this time they came here to watch the fun.

Holding a stick, Gu Kaiyuan really rushed in again. He seemed to be beating people randomly without any plan, but every time he hit the men in black.

I didn’t know who chopped me down in my previous life, so this time I’ll just take it as collecting some interest.

There were already more people on the bailiff's side, and Gu Kaiyuan rushed in to disrupt the situation, so the men in black gradually felt defeated.

The black-clad man who was holding onto the Gu family had to let go and shouted, "Retreat!"

Gu Baijiang was pushed to the ground, and the place where he fell was the fire that was about to be stepped on.

With a wail, Gu Baijiang rolled on the ground, covering his head.

Gu Kaiyuan watched all this with a cold eye. In his previous life, he had tried his best to protect his father, but he had never been kind to him afterwards. Back then, he had endured the rotting wounds on his body and had been despised for his foul odor. Gu Baijiang often drove him away and told him to stay away.

Anyway, these men in black won't want to kill him, so it doesn't matter if he suffers some physical pain.

The man in black ran away, but the bailiff's anger was still there.

Liu Pingkang looked at the Gu family in front of him with a very cold look in his eyes, "Tell me, what is going on?

We are escorting prisoners, not guarding your Gu family.

We will definitely report your case to the higher authorities, and if anyone tries to kill you again, you will be on your own."

"We don't know what happened. We don't know these people at all, and we don't have any enemies." Gu Baijiang endured the pain on his face and gritted his teeth. "How can I explain the official affairs clearly? Maybe I accidentally offended someone in the court. This is to put my family to death. I will report it to His Majesty."

Just like in the previous life, he knew the reason clearly, but still bit back with such righteousness.

"Permitting His Majesty?" Liu Pingkang sneered, "Don't forget your current status. You are not even qualified to see the County Magistrate, let alone His Majesty."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of them, Liu Pingkang asked everyone to disperse. If they didn't have a good rest, no one would have the energy to travel tomorrow. He just wanted to send these people to Lingnan as soon as possible.

But these men in black will definitely not let it go so easily. It seems that this matter really needs to be reported to the higher-ups to see if they can get help or make other arrangements for the Gu family.

Because of Gu Kaiyuan's selfless appearance just now and his help in dealing with the men in black as quickly as possible, Liu Pingkang had to look at him differently.

He walked over and patted Gu Kaiyuan on the shoulder, "Although this disaster was caused by your Gu family, you also helped just now, which is not bad.

But you'd better control your family. If they cause trouble for me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Gu Kaiyuan had long known that his friendship with Liu Pingkang was not enough to make him give a lot for him, but it was already very good that he did not vent his anger on himself this time.

"I know. I will talk to them about it." That was all Gu Kaiyuan could say.

Furthermore, these men in black probably won't have a chance to come again...

When the escort left, there was still no one around the Gu family and everyone was still staying away.

Only Chen Dafu came over and took the stick back from Gu Kaiyuan's hand, "We still have to listen to the old man's advice, it will still be useful to hold the thing.

Don't be so reckless next time. If you start fighting with your bare hands, you will be the only one who suffers in the end."

Chen Dafu then turned to Gu Baijiang and said, "Master Gu, your son is really good. His filial piety is commendable, but he is a little reckless."

After saying that, he looked at the Gu Kaiping brothers with disdain. These two cowards could only hide behind their wives and tremble. Seeing their father and children in danger, they didn't dare to lend a hand. Fortunately, such people were not members of the Chen family. It was so embarrassing.

Gu Baijiang now wished he had a mirror in his hand. He wanted to know how serious the injuries on his face were.

If you have facial defects, the court will not recruit you no matter how capable you are.

"Hurry up and get a doctor for me," Gu Baijiang panicked. If his face was ruined, the Gu family would be finished.

"Where can we get a doctor for you at this hour?" Xu Huizhen's hands and feet were weak; she had just nearly lost her life. "We're out here in the middle of nowhere, and we can't even tell east from west."
