Chapter 10 Civilians
(This chapter is free)
Ai Bier had two points of panic on her face: "The Song Yunqi family is also with them. She is arrogant. I guess they are here to find trouble..."
Before Wu Aotian could speak, Wu Lingfeng on the edge of the bed behind him had already slapped the edge of the bed and shouted angrily: "It's too much to bully people. Although this Qi family is an eighth-class noble, it is in a collusion with the Wan family. Now that he is here, is there anyone bullying our Wu family?"
He jumped out of bed with one foot and was about to walk out of the door: "I want to go and see what they want to do. I'm so angry. No matter what the eighth-class nobleman he is, I'll slap them to death with a big mouth!"
Looking at Wu Lingfeng with a limping foot, Wu Aotian quickly stopped him: "Brother, you have injured your foot and are inconvenient to move. You'd better recover from the injury here. I'll go and see it."
Wu Lingfeng was stunned for a moment and looked at Wu Aotian with some concern: "Third brother, aren't you injured too? Besides, the old guy in the Qi family is not a good guy at all. Third brother, you don't like to argue with others, so I'd better go."
Wu Aotian felt a little warm when he listened to Wu Lingfeng's comments to him. Although this elder brother was generous, he was still very concerned about this younger brother. It was already very euphemistic about what he said that he didn't like to argue with others. The real Wu Aotian was actually quite autistic because he could not practice and was very cowardly.
"Brother, you're not going to fight, don't worry, after this incident, I've already figured it out." Wu Aotian stopped Wu Lingfeng, who was jumping, "Isn't my father still there? I'm just going to see the situation. Besides, if you jump like this, aren't you let them laugh at it?"
Wu Lingfeng was reminded by this and suddenly felt that it made sense. He brought people to fight with the people from the Wan family, and his legs were broken. If they saw it, even if they didn’t laugh, they would be very unhappy and secretly mocked him.
"Okay, third brother, go and see what those two old guys want to do."
Wu Lingfeng returned to the bed and sat down, patted the edge of the bed again, and cursed: "Grandma, when I can practice well, I will do those two old guys then!"
Wu Aotian felt a little funny when he heard Wu Lingfeng who was full of swear words. He was born in a noble family. Wu Lingfeng didn't know how to develop such a character. It would be fine if he was rude, but he still often said swear words. It's really strange.
Close the door, Wu Aotian took a deep breath and waved his hand to Ai Bier: "Let's go and take a look."
When he arrived at the Wu family hall, Wu Aotian did not rush into the hall, but stood outside the side door, quietly looked at the situation in the hall, and listened carefully to what they were talking about.
In the hall of the Wu family, there was a very thin old man sitting in the usual position of Wu Houde, the head of the Wu family. The old man had a brocade robe and jade belt, and a jade pendant hanging on his waist. There was an unconcealed arrogance and domineering look between his eyebrows.
Wu Aotian took a look and recognized that the old man was Qi Tiancheng, one of the two eighth-class nobles in Songyun City. Qi Tiancheng was holding a teacup and savoring the tea with a gloomy face.
Wu Houde, also known as Wu Aotian's father, sat down at the position below, with an uncontrollable anger on his face, staring at an old man in his fifties opposite him.
The old man in his fifties is exactly the opposite of Qi Tiancheng. He is an absolute fat man. The brocade robe worn on him showed a bit of the nouveau riche style.
There was the same look of anger on his face, but his eyes showed a bit of cunning and viciousness that was not easy to detect.
The head of the Wanjia family, Wanchengshan, is Wanqing's father.
Wan Chengshan's tone was similar to the viciousness in his eyes, gloomy, just like the sky outside at this moment: "Wu Houde, don't forget that your son cannot practice the body strengthening technique. His identity is not a nobleman, he is just a civilian..."
"You should be very clear about the Imperial Iron Law. A civilian took the lead in attacking a nobleman and seriously injured him. What is the charge..." There was unconcealed hatred in Wanchengshan's words, and there was also an inexplicable smugness, just like a fox caught a hen running out of the chicken coop.
Although Wu Aotian only heard this sentence, he already understood what Wanchengshan was here to do today.
He came to take revenge on the Wu family, and used the iron law of the empire as a tool for revenge.
The imperial iron law stipulates that the status of the four major classes of slaves, civilians, nobles, and royal families is from low to high. It is a serious crime for civilians to injure nobles. The Wu family and the Wan family were originally ninth-class nobles with similar status, but unexpectedly, Wu Aotian could not practice the skills of strengthening the body, so although he was the son of the head of the Wu family, he did not have the qualifications of a noble, but was just a civilian.
If Wu Aotian could practice the body-strengthening technique, even if he only practiced to the first level of the body-strengthening realm, today's affairs would be at most attributed to the quarrel between the two nobles, and both of them were injured. At most, there was only a few disputes, and no one could take advantage of the issue. However, because of Wu Aotian's civilian status, the Wan family found the excuse to attack Wu Aotian. Now that the Wan family found the Qi family and came to the Wu family, they wanted to take Wu Aotian away.
Of course, this is a use of the problem, and of course it is malicious. As long as you are not an idiot, you can think of this. However, the Imperial Iron Law does have such a law, which makes Wu Houde very angry.
