Chapter 195 - 195 Little Peach’s Revenge

195 Little Peach’s Revenge

After Zhou Jia returned home for dinner, he brought Ruyi and a few bailiffs to the nearby village for a visit.

After Li Yu washed up and came out, she saw Little Peach waiting for her in the courtyard. She smiled and asked, “Are you looking for me?”

Little Peach bowed and said, “Madam, can I see Tu Gang?”

Li Yu was filled with curiosity about Little Peach. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, a weak woman dared to deal with a lecherous and vicious bandit like Tu Gang.

!!

“Sure. I’ll bring him up and lock him in the woodshed. Can you meet him in the woodshed?”

Little Peach bent her knees and said, “Thank you, Madam.”

“You don’t have to be so polite.” Li Yu went to the cellar to bring Tu Gang to the woodshed and tied him to a pillar. Tu Gang looked at Little Peach, who was standing at the door of the woodshed, with a fierce gaze. Li Yu said to Little Peach, “Are you afraid?” Little Peach shook her head. “Alright, call me if you need anything. I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Yes! Thank you, Madam!” Little Peach walked up to Tu Gang and pulled out the rag that was stuck in his mouth. Tu Gang looked at Little Peach and cursed viciously, “Bitch! You bitch! How dare you plot against me! When I get out, I’ll send you to the lowest brothel!”

“It’s your wretched eyes that caused my family to be destroyed. Do you think I’m really afraid of you? You must be dreaming! I can’t wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood.” Little Peach grabbed Tu Gang’s bun and reached out to scratch Tu Gang’s eyes. Tu Gang shouted in pain, “My eyes! Ah… Ah… My eyes, bitch…”

“Brother Yun, I was the one who harmed you. I’ll avenge you today!” Little Peach looked at the bleeding Tu Gang with tears streaming down her face. She pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed it at Tu Gang’s lower body. “Bastard, even if you die a hundred times, you won’t be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!”

Tu Gang tilted his head and fainted. Little Peach knelt on the ground and shouted, “Dad, Mom, Brother Yun, Big Brother, and Yu Niang have avenged you!” After saying that, she raised the hairpin and slashed it at her neck. Li Yu flashed in and snatched the hairpin from her hand. She scolded, “Your parents and relatives have all left for you. You should live well and complete their unfinished path.”

“Madam, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been willful and insisted on following my brother to the market, I wouldn’t have encountered this dog. Big Brother’s leg wouldn’t have been broken by him, and Brother Yun wouldn’t have lost his life to save me. Father and Mother wouldn’t have died from anger. Boohoo…”

“It’s not your fault. It’s these human-eating jackals!” Li Yu comforted her. Hearing Little Peach Red’s sorrowful cries, she also cried. This world was a cannibalistic world, forcing people into a corner!

Little Peach stopped crying after crying for a while. “Madam, I won’t die. I want to go back to my home in Green Lotus Village to see my brother and sister-in-law.”

Li Yu held Little Peach’s hand and stood up. She said gently, “Alright, but I hope that you can go back after the bandits are eliminated. If you go back now, I’m afraid the bandits will seek revenge on you when they find out.”

Little Peach bowed gratefully to Li Yu. “Thank you, Madam.”

Manager Ouyang hid in the Zhou family’s house and listened to the heart-wrenching cries in the woodshed. Thinking of himself, he was even more afraid of the bandits’ revenge. He said to Tiezhu, who was carrying the fodder over, with some worry, “Brother Tiezhu, the bandits who collected the food from the Green Dragon Stronghold have been dealt with by you. Tomorrow night, the bandits of the Tiger Head Stronghold will send the food to Qingzhou. Where are you planning to snatch the food back? I wonder where the friend who sent the letter to Qingzhou is?”

Tiezhu thought for a moment. “Big Brother Xu has been gone for more than ten days. If they hurry, they should be here already. As for where we would rob the food at, Young Master and Madam haven’t informed me yet. Manager Ouyang, don’t worry. My Young Master and Madam are the best people. They will definitely do what they promised you!”

Xu Dong, who was on Manager Ouyang’s mind, had already entered Qingzhou City and rushed back to the Four Seas Bank.

When Chu Jiang saw Xu Dong, he asked curiously, “One of you brothers just left for a few days, and the other came back. Is there something urgent?”

Xu Dong took out the bamboo tube from his pocket and handed it to Chu Jiang. “Third Shopkeeper, Lord Zhou asked me to give this to you. He said it’s urgent!”

Chu Jiang hurriedly took out the letter from the bamboo tube. After reading it, he said to Xu Dong, “Go rest. I’m going to do something.”

Chu Jiang gathered a few people and went to Steward Ouyang’s house in the north city. He knocked on Steward Ouyang’s door and saw his wife, Madam Qu. He took out the letter and key that Steward Ouyang had given her and said, “Sister-in-law, this is a letter from your master.”

After Madam Qu read the letter, she went into the house with a pale face and took out a few accounts books. She handed them to Chu Jiang and bowed. “Sir, my husband asked me to bring my child with the person who brought the letter. I wonder if you know about this?”

Chu Jiang nodded. “I know. If you guys don’t hurry, you’ll be in trouble if someone finds out.”

Madam Qu nodded and wrote a few lines of words before handing them to Chu Jiang. “Sir, I still have a child studying in the academy. Please send someone to pick him up.”

Chu Jiang nodded and went out to get someone to pick up Manager Ouyang’s youngest son. Madam Qu hurriedly went into the house to call her daughter-in-law and son. She carried her grandson, packed some small things and luggage, and followed Chu Jiang to the Four Seas Bank.

After Chu Jiang obtained the account book, he hurriedly sent a message via pigeon courier.

After a while, the servant who went to pick up Manager Ouyang’s youngest son brought the child to the courtyard. Madam Qu wrote a letter and handed it to Chu Jiang. She said with tears in her eyes, “I’ll have to trouble you to give the letter to the head of my household. He was long worried that what General Huang did would be exposed. He can sleep in peace now.”

Chu Jiang handed the letter written by Madam Qu and the letter he had written for Zhou Jia to Xu Dong. He smiled at him and said, “Rest well. We’ll set off for Qingchuan tomorrow.”

“Yes, shopkeeper. I didn’t delay business, right?”

Chu Jiang shook his head. “No, rest well!” Only then did Xu Dong rest with relief.

Shen Wu led a few hundred people and traveled with Xu Chun. They were only a day away from Qingchuan.

Zhou Jia and Li Yu had also decided on a place to snatch back the food. The few of them brought more than 20 bailiffs and hid in the forest outside the city. At dawn, a group of bandits drove the mule cart to the forest. Li Yu and Zhou Jia hid in a big tree by the road. The two of them drew their bows and shot at the bandits on the first mule cart. After the two bandits on the cart were shot, they fell to the ground. The mule cart stopped and Ruyi led the bailiffs to rush at the bandits. Li Yu and Zhou Jia shot from the tree and the battle ended in fifteen minutes.

After an intense battle, two of the magistrate officers were seriously injured and three were lightly injured. Tiezhu used the Golden Injury Medicine to bandage the injured officers. Zhou Jia and Li Yu then guided everyone in moving the bandits’ corpses onto the mule cart. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps came from behind. Li Yu hurriedly led everyone to hide in the forest.
