Chapter 1593 The readily available noble family vanished into thin air; how could Uncle Sun not be a
Sun Shan planned to take the little girl home; her hand was still injured, and she needed to rest properly.
Just as he took a step, a sudden gust of wind blew by, and Wu Zhubo and his men appeared abruptly in front of Sun Shan.
He shouted excitedly, "My lord, my lord, what's wrong? Are you injured? Where is the assassin?"
His eyes darted left and right, trying to figure out where Sun Shan was injured.
Upon receiving news that Sun Shan had encountered assassins, Wu Zhubu was overjoyed and hurriedly led his men to the front line.
Thinking to himself: Lord Sun, you deserve it! You let your whole family go out to enjoy the lantern festival on your back.
See, karma's coming back to bite you! They didn't take the night shift themselves, leaving me to do it all – it's utterly outrageous!
Sun Shan, looking utterly bewildered, replied, "I'm not injured!"
Wu, the clerk, was greatly disappointed, and the faint excitement that had appeared vanished in an instant.
He feigned concern: "It's good that you're not injured, sir. When I heard that someone was trying to assassinate you, my heart was in my throat. I rushed here with my officers to help you. Oh, I'm so relieved to hear that you're alright."
He cursed inwardly: How could a useless assassin fail to carry out an assassination?
Sun Shan, a weak scholar with no physical strength, couldn't even kill a chicken, and his assassination attempt failed. What kind of assassin is he? He might as well go home and farm!
Wu, the magistrate, asked again, "Sir, where is the assassin? I will arrest him immediately! I don't know where this villain came from, daring to cause trouble in Yuanlu County. Humph, if we don't teach him a lesson, he'll think Yuanlu County has no one to rely on!"
He spoke with feigned anger, but secretly cursed the assassin in return.
Even if the assassination attempt fails, it should at least injure Lord Sun, right?
What a coward! How dare he call himself an assassin with such poor assassination skills?
Why is the barrier to entry for becoming an assassin so low these days? Anyone can call themselves an assassin?
Without the skills of Zhuan Zhu, Nie Zheng, and Yao Li, what kind of assassin are they!
Little Fatty noticed that Chief Clerk Wu kept asking Sun Shan if he was injured, forgetting about her, an injured bystander.
She hurriedly stretched out her bandaged chubby hand and said weakly, "Grandpa Wu, my dad is fine, but I'm in trouble. I... I was poked by that bad uncle. It hurts so much, and I'm bleeding a lot."
The chubby girl muttered that she was very hurt and wanted to tell everyone about her grievances to gain sympathy and evoke pity. Maybe someone would even bring her some treats to visit her while she was sick.
As expected, when Wu, the clerk, heard that the chubby girl was injured, he asked with concern, "Miss, how did you get hurt?"
Seeing the chubby little hand wrapped up like a dumpling, she thought the injury was serious and cried out in distress, "Damn it, where did this assassin come from? How could he have stabbed Miss!"
Heavens have mercy! This chubby, round little girl is injured! It's simply outrageous!
Why is it that it wasn't Lord Sun who was injured, but the lovely Miss Sun?
Although the little chubby girl's crying usually made Wu, the clerk was just too cute!
Sweet, soft, and adorable—who wouldn't want a girl like that?
The entire yamen staff secretly cursed Sun Shan, wondering how a short, thin man with a slender face could have given birth to such an adorable daughter.
God is unfair!
When Wu, the clerk, saw that the chubby girl was injured, he comforted her with heartache: "Miss Sun, please rest assured, I will definitely catch the assassin and avenge you."
Little Fatty nodded seriously: "Thank you, Grandpa Wu. We must catch the bad uncle and punish him. Xiaoxiao's hand hurts so much, Xiaoxiao is in so much pain."
When Wu, the clerk, saw the chubby girl with red eyes and tears welling up in them, he hurriedly said, "Miss Sun, go home and rest well. Don't be afraid, I will definitely catch the assassin."
Heaven have mercy! This adorable little girl is injured! That damned assassin must be killed without mercy!
The chubby girl kept muttering and complaining to Wu, the clerk, about how much her hand hurt.
Wu Zhubu kept promising to avenge Little Fatty.
An old man and a young boy, deeply in love, poured out their hearts to each other, while the crowd of onlookers from Sunshan remained as a backdrop.
Sun Shan: ......
Wu, who exactly is your superior?
Little Fatty, do you have to be so close to Wu Zhubu? Outsiders will think you two have a deep friendship!
Sun Shan coughed lightly and said coldly, "Minister Wu, thank you for your concern. We'll head back first, and the rest is up to you."
After saying that, he led the Sun family guards away, looking rather smug.
Little Fatty stretched out Er Kang's injured hand and earnestly urged, "Grandpa Wu, please catch the bad uncle for Xiaoxiao."
Wu, the clerk, readily agreed: "Xiaoxiao, Grandpa Wu will definitely do it, just you wait."
After Sun Shan had walked away, the NPC officer said softly, "Minister Wu, it's not an assassin, it's probably a thief."
Wu, the clerk, widened his eyes and frowned as he asked, "What? Not an assassin? A thief? Who, who told me it was an assassin?"
The NPC officer repeated Sun Shan's guesses in detail.
Wu, the Registrar: .....
Is this Lord Sun too easily frightened? He can't even tell the difference between an assassin and a thief?
It must be because he has done a lot of bad things in his daily life that he has many people seeking revenge, and he thinks that anyone with ill intentions is an assassin.
Tsk tsk~~~ That's really speechless.
Fortunately, this misjudgment did not spread widely, otherwise it would have caused public panic again tonight, repeating the chaos of last year's Lantern Festival.
Seeing that it wasn't an assassin, Wu, the clerk, greatly reduced the danger level and hurriedly led his men to find Inspector Liang to get the first details.
Sun Shan returned to the yamen unharmed and walked in.
That's when Uncle Sun caught them.
Uncle Sun had been eagerly awaiting Sun Shan's return, and finally, he did.
Seeing that Dege'er wasn't there, he felt even more frustrated.
One or two of them went out to have fun, leaving only the elderly at home.
What's wrong with young people these days? What happened to propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, filial piety, brotherly love, loyalty, and trustworthiness?
Uncle Sun was about to loudly rebuke Sun Shan.
The chubby girl cried out even faster than him, "Third Grandpa, Third Grandpa, Xiaoxiao is in so much pain! Xiaoxiao's hand is bleeding so much! Third Grandpa, Xiaoxiao almost died!"
Uncle Sun was stunned for a moment, thinking he was imagining things.
But sight doesn't lie; the chubby girl raised her chubby little hand high, which was covered with strips of cloth.
The little chubby girl's eyes were swollen again, clearly indicating she had been crying for quite some time.
He was shocked and asked anxiously, "Shanzi, what happened? What happened to Xiaoxiao's hand?"
This is the only chubby little girl in the family, who wouldn't love her? Especially since she's Sun Shan's daughter, they love her even more.
Shanzi is an official, and Xiaoxiao is an official's daughter. They will have the opportunity to marry into the imperial family in the future.
Rounding up, Uncle Sun San became part of the imperial family, greatly elevating his status.
Wealth and glory, golden houses and silver houses, are just around the corner.
When he saw that Little Fatty was injured and that she had almost died, Uncle Sun was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.
The once-prosperous aristocracy vanished without a trace, which greatly alarmed Uncle Sun.
