Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

After doing all this, the secret door was covered tightly and could not be seen at all from the outside.

Everyone mustered up their courage and went out quickly to prepare to meet the black-armored soldiers.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Seven quickly took the knife to the third floor.

Soon, under the pressure of three ships, one ship led the way, and two ships attacked from both sides, forcing their ship to dock to the right for inspection.

The black-armored soldiers on both sides placed long wooden boards and immediately put them from their own boats onto Zhou Xinyue's boat, and quickly got on board from the wooden boards.

Seventh Uncle and the others looked at this group of black-armored soldiers, all of whom were carrying sharp blades and had serious expressions. They could tell at a glance that they were up to no good and none of them were good people.

Uncle Seven smiled and said, "Gentlemen, we are a merchant ship from the Wu Family Granary in Cangdu City. This is our document. Please have a look."

Among them, a slightly fat man with a full beard seemed to be the leader. He walked over with a serious expression and snorted coldly, saying, "We are under the order of the emperor to inspect every ship passing through the Lulu River. No matter whether you are from the Wu family or the Yang family, we must check. We cannot let go of any suspicious ship. I hope you will understand."

Uncle Seven apologized hastily and said, "Yes, yes, this is as it should be. We should cooperate with the inspection. Gentlemen, please."

The leader moved two fingers and all the black-armored soldiers were dispatched, driving all the people on the ship onto the deck.

Everyone said, "Sir, please spare us, Sir, please spare us. We are just delivering food and have done nothing wrong. Please spare us!"

The leader looked at the disc and said with a sullen look, "Where are you sending it to?"

Uncle Seven replied hastily, "We have branches in the Wu Family Grain Store in Bazhi and Disi. This time we are going to replenish grain for those branches."

The leader stroked his beard and said, "I have heard of your Wu Family Granary. You have a big business. You also provided a lot of help before the new emperor ascended the throne. After he ascended the throne, you also helped the current emperor to open the warehouse and donate grain, helping the people of Cangdu to get through those difficult days. The emperor was grateful and presented a gold plaque to your Wu Family Granary. You are very friendly!"

The Seventh Uncle smiled and said, "No, no. My owner is just doing his duty. It is the emperor's grace, we dare not!"

"Don't be nervous, we are just doing a routine check. If there is no major problem, we will let you go."

Uncle Seven nodded and said, "Okay, okay, gentlemen, you can take your time to investigate. It's not a big deal."

These black-armored soldiers searched the ship carefully inside and out countless times.

Two black-armored soldiers went up to the third floor and saw that the door was closed. They sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Open the door, anyone inside."

When the two black-armored soldiers saw that the door was closed and could not be opened, they became increasingly angry.

One of them continued to shout: "Count to three. If you still don't open the door, we will not be polite."

In the end, no one opened the door. Two soldiers in black armor kicked the door open, and the child inside immediately burst into tears.

The seventh aunt-in-law yelled, "Hey, who are you two? How dare you break into my granddaughter's bedroom?"

Two black-armored soldiers went in and saw a bathtub in the middle of the room. There was a fair-skinned woman in the bathtub, with her back to them.

The woman was shaking with fear, and her seventh aunt-in-law quickly took a piece of clothing and put it on her.

The seventh aunt yelled angrily: "Who are you? Why did you break into my granddaughter's boudoir? Someone come quickly. You hooligans, there are two hooligans here."

The two black-armored soldiers looked at each other and rushed in without any courtesy.

I saw two children lying on the bed on the right, both of them were crying loudly with fear.

Aunt Seven hurriedly hugged Kang'er and coaxed him, "Don't cry, dear. Grandma is here! Don't cry, dear, don't cry."

No matter how I coaxed him, the child still cried loudly.

The two black-armored soldiers inspected the area and some of them wanted to take a look at the woman in the bathtub.

The woman was so scared that she lowered her head, as if she was crying.

One of the black-armored soldiers seemed very interested, and with a wicked grin, he tried to push aside the woman's hair with his hands, wanting to see what she looked like.

When the seventh aunt saw this, she immediately ran out and shouted, "Help, hurry up, there are two hooligans molesting my granddaughter, hurry up, beat them up!"

The shouting of the Seventh Uncle attracted the people below, and the Seventh Uncle hurriedly said: "Sir, this..."

The leader signaled to someone next to him, and that person quickly ran up to the third floor and brought everyone down after a while.

Report to the general: "There is a woman bathing in the room. Si Er was about to take action just now, and the old woman hurriedly called out."

The leader asked curiously, "Female? How old are you? Bring her down so I can take a look."

The man replied, "General, I have just compared the portrait with the woman. It is not the woman in the painting. The girl bathing is younger, about 9 to 10 years old. She is not the same age as the woman in the painting."

The seventh aunt said excitedly, "My granddaughter was bathing in the room just now. It was not convenient to open the door. I was thinking that I would open the door for the two officials after my granddaughter finished bathing and changed clothes. But I didn't expect that they would flirt with my granddaughter as soon as they came in. They also scared my two grandsons and made them cry loudly. My lord, you have to make a decision for me. My granddaughter is still a virgin. Their behavior is really abominable."

The leader pondered for a while, looked at the baby in his hand and asked curiously: "Is this your grandson?"

The old woman said with tears in her eyes: "Yes!"

"What about your daughter-in-law?"

"My son and daughter-in-law are waiting for us in Pakistan! They went there first to take care of the matter and collect the debt. We were just taking care of our grandchildren, but we didn't expect to encounter something like this today. I won't live any longer, I won't live any longer. You must give me an explanation."

After saying that, the Seventh Aunt sat on the ground and began to cry and shout. Add to that the sound of a child crying and someone crying upstairs, and the people at the scene felt extremely annoyed.

The leader said, "Our people didn't do anything to your granddaughter. It's almost stopped."

Seventh Aunt-in-law kept shouting and making a noise regardless.

The leader was so angry that he was extremely upset and finally couldn't help but yelled: "If you guys keep arguing, I will kill you all."

Seventh Auntie immediately shut up and stopped talking.

A soldier in black armor came up and said hurriedly, "General, we have searched the entire ship, inside and out, and there is nothing suspicious. There are just a lot of rice bags piled up in the granary at the bottom of the ship. Except for that place, we have searched all other places, and there is nothing suspicious."

The leader said coldly: "Take me to see it."

Soon they went down to the warehouse and saw it was full of rice bags.

The leader said coldly: "Stab them with your knife, and don't leave any bag untouched."

"Yes, I will take your orders."
