Volume 18: The Third Master's Sword Chapter 427 Unbelievable
Sometimes people who are in the wrong become more excited.
Because he wanted to use this angry emotion to make it seem like he was right.
Zhang Jiading was clearly caught red-handed, but the villain took the first step and kicked Xiaoyun in the chest with a flying kick.
Bang!
A dull sound exploded.
When Zhang the servant's foot touched Xiaoyun's chest, he suddenly flew out, as if the person who was kicked was not Xiaoyun, but himself!
"You...you...what kind of monster are you?"
Zhang Jiading screamed and held his foot, unable to stand up. He lifted up his trouser leg and saw that his ankle was red and swollen.
Xiaoyun looked at him quietly without saying a word, picked up the dung bucket, and walked outside.
Zhang Jiading shouted loudly: "You want to leave after hurting someone. Do you think our Liu Mansion is a place where you can come and go as you please?"
He couldn't stand up, so he could only shout at the top of his lungs, pointing at Xiaoyun's figure.
Sure enough, after a short while, a rustling sound was heard, and other servants and maids in the Liu Mansion hurried over, including the old butler.
"stop!"
A group of servants surrounded Xiaoyun on the stone path, blocking him tightly and not letting him pass.
"Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
A group of maids also ran over, and regardless of gender differences, they handed over handkerchiefs and greeted the Zhang family servants. It seemed that everyone in the Liu Mansion was united.
When questioned, Xiaoyun simply replied, "He wanted to hit me, and then he accidentally fell down!"
"Is it true?"
A group of servants looked at Zhang Jiading doubtfully. At this time, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion finally trotted over.
"What's wrong? What happened?!"
The housekeeper pushed through the crowd and saw Zhang Jiading lying on the ground. He frowned and asked, "Xiao Zhang, what's wrong with you? Why did you fall to the ground?"
Zhang Jiading pointed at Xiaoyun and after a moment's hesitation, he accused him, "It was him! He beat me up and broke my foot like this!"
The housekeeper looked at Zhang Jiading's swollen ankle, then looked at Xiaoyun and asked, "Did you hit him?"
Xiaoyun didn't say anything.
The housekeeper asked again: "Why did you hit him?"
Xiaoyun still didn't speak.
The butler was a little angry. He had been in the Liu Mansion for so many years, and even the young lady did not dare to treat him so coldly.
"Xiao Zhang, tell me, how did the conflict between you two start?!"
Zhang Jiading thought for a moment and said, "I... I came here to relieve myself, and then I asked him to leave, but who knew... who knew he would beat me!"
He was not a man who was very good at sweet talk, and he spent a long time hesitantly making up a story, but it was not particularly decent.
The butler snorted coldly and said, "Speak clearly! What is going on?"
Zhang Jiading's head trembled, and he suddenly said, "Let him speak. I want to see if this troublemaker dares to admit it!"
The butler stared at Xiaoyun and said in an imperative tone: "Tell me! If you don't, I will have to report to the police!"
Xiao Yun could only tell the truth: "This matter is hard to talk about. It was that servant surnamed Zhang who went too far!"
"Oh? How do you mean excessive?"
The voice did not come from the butler, but from a purple-clad swordsman walking towards the other end of the path.
This swordsman was Li Anzi from the Hainan Sword School whom Xiaoyun met that day.
When the housekeeper saw him coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Master Li is here again? The young lady is sick and is resting in her room. If she knew that the master came to visit her, she would be very happy."
Li Anzi shook his head and said, "I have seen her. She said she wanted to relieve herself, but the bucket was taken away, so she asked me to urge her."
When he said this, there was an evil expression on his face, which was very strange, but he couldn't tell why it was strange. It was somewhat similar to the expression Zhang Jiading had before.
The butler slapped his head and said, "Oh? So that's how it is. How can we trouble Mr. Li to do this kind of thing? Come on, who among you..."
At this point, everyone happened to see a small bucket inlaid with yellow satin placed not far from Zhang Jiading.
The housekeeper called a maid and said, "Xiao Huang, go and get the bucket and quickly send it to the young lady's room."
"good."
A maid heard the sound, hurried forward, picked up the bucket, and ran away. No one cared about how excessive Zhang Jiading's actions were.
Xiaoyun suddenly said, "No! You can't let Miss Liu use that bucket."
Li Anzi thought there was some trick in it, so he asked, "Why can't it be used?"
Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Because that servant tampered with it!"
The housekeeper asked, "Something was done? What did you do?"
He took the bucket and looked left and right but couldn't see anything strange.
At this time , Zhang Jiading suddenly shouted angrily: "Forget it, now that things have come to this, I can no longer hide it. I tell you, this manure collector is actually using the lady's bucket to do that kind of thing..."
Everyone looked at him, confused and not understanding what he meant.
"What kind of thing did you do?"
Zhang Jiading said: "It's that kind of thing... that kind of thing where a man uses his hands to get rid of his loneliness!"
Although what he said was obscure, all the men present could understand it. He actually pinned all the dirty deeds he had done on Xiaoyun!
Xiaoyun moved her lips as if she wanted to refute, but suddenly closed her mouth again.
He didn't say it just now because he wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter and save face for the Liu family.
But he now knew that it was useless to say anything at this time.
——How could the people in Liu Mansion trust a lowly man who collects excrement instead of their own sincere servants?
The butler suddenly lowered his head, sniffed the yellow silk, and his expression suddenly became very ugly.
"Master Li, please go to the young lady's room first. I will take care of the things here."
Li Anzi's face turned blue and red, and he felt both embarrassed and very upset.
Liu Rushui is now his fiancée, how could she tolerate such humiliation?
"Alright, alright! This time, Senior Brother Li Pingzi died at the hands of the Wudang Sect. I never thought that even a mere manure collector would dare to bully me! How can this be tolerated?!"
"Die!"
Li Anzi pulled out a long sword with a strange shape and a very thin blade from his waist, took a step forward, and was about to kill Xiaoyun without saying a word .
"Wait a minute!"
The voice was heard when Li Anzi just roared. A girl in green came from a distance. She had no makeup on, so her face was a little pale, but it made her look even fresher.
"Li Anzi, you have such a bad temper. Are you going to kill someone at any time?"
The housekeeper hurried over and advised: "Miss, aren't you sick? Go back to your room and lie down. It's cold outside..."
Liu Rushui pulled Li Anzi's arm to prevent him from stabbing with the sword, and said, "I won't lie down. I want to take care of it. I'm getting married soon. Can't I even take care of this last thing?"
The housekeeper was very anxious and said, "But this matter...it's really hard for you to take care of it..."
Xiao Yun said, "The servant named Zhang used his lower body to molest the bucket you used, Miss Liu, and even smeared some liquid on the yellow satin. I caught him and he wanted to hurt me, but he got what he deserved."
He described the matter in a few simple sentences.
This time everyone present reacted and understood what Xiaoyun was talking about, but no one dared to speak.
Everyone looked at Xiaoyun with suspicion and distrust.
The tip of Li Anzi's sword was still pointed at Xiaoyun.
Even Miss Liu Rushui, who had spoken for Xiaoyun earlier, widened her eyes, blushed, and was a little unbelievable, and did not say another word.
If everyone just wanted to figure out what happened just now, then now everyone present was filled with strong hostility towards Xiaoyun.
Xiaoyun faced everyone calmly and fearlessly. He was telling the truth.
——Xiao Yun is convinced that everything he does is right and correct.
——Xiao Yun was also sure that doing these things would not benefit him in any way and that he was only doing a favor to the Liu family and Liu Rushui.
——Xiao Yun became even more certain that he was currently in a very unfavorable situation.
No one was willing to believe him, and everyone preferred to trust Zhang Jiading.
Why?
Did Xiaoyun do something wrong?
Did he lie to others and get caught? Did his reputation for bad behavior spread throughout Liuquan? Did everyone know that he was a pervert?
Or, apart from guarding the gate and greeting people of higher status with a smile and speaking harshly to people of lower status than him, has Zhang Jiading done any good deeds that are praised by everyone and are particularly honest?
Maybe neither.
So why did Xiaoyun deserve to be wrongly framed and killed even though he did good things?
——It’s just that because Xiaoyun ’s job is to collect manure, no one is willing to believe him.
Collecting manure and doing bad things are two unrelated things. Why should people not trust them because of this?
In fact, to put it another way - why should the people in Liu Mansion believe Xiao Yun?
Why is Xiaoyun worthy of others' trust?
call!
The wind is blowing hard.
The sword finally came out!
