Chapter 569: Tensions Rise

Faced with Magistrate Guo's fierce reaction, Master did not dissuade him this time. He has followed Magistrate Guo for many years and knows what Magistrate Guo really thinks. It is estimated that Magistrate Guo was worried before that he had no excuse to attack Wu Fan. Now, Since he took the initiative to come to the door under an excuse, County Magistrate Guo would be so angry, which was also expected by Magistrate Guo.

What's more, the master had just been beaten by Wu Fan, and he wished that Wu Fan would be unlucky.

Because Wu Fan was a viscount, only Magistrate Guo could defeat him in Qingyuan County. Therefore, Magistrate Guo personally led the team this time, along with his nursing home and county government officials, in a mighty and powerful march towards Go to Wu Mansion.

As for the master, he followed Magistrate Guo with an air of dignity. He wanted to personally avenge himself for the crime he had just suffered at the hands of Wu Fan, so he did not even stay at the county government office to heal.

When Magistrate Guo and his master led a large group of troops to the Wu Mansion, Sun Liang had already arranged for people to prepare all the goods Wu Fan wanted, and Wu Fan was also preparing to take the goods out of the city.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"The sword has no eyes. Anyone who doesn't care should leave immediately!"

The team of Magistrate Guo and Master was so loud that Wu Fan and others could see it from a distance. As for some pedestrians around, they were frightened and left quickly when they saw such a formation. There were also some brave and curious people. Instead of staying away, he found a place out of the way to stay and prepare to watch the show.

After Magistrate Guo and others arrived, the nursing staff and government officials quickly surrounded Wu Fan and others. Magistrate Guo and Master pushed aside the crowd and stood in front, looking at Wu Fan.

"Master Guo, what do you mean?" Wu Fan said calmly, without any trace of panic on his face.

"What do you mean? It is illegal for you to occupy the imperial resources and beat the imperial officials for no reason!" Magistrate Guo looked at Wu Fan and said coldly: "In addition, there is news that you colluded with the rebels and intended to capture Qingyuan County. It’s for disloyalty! As a court official and a parent official of Qingyuan County, I cannot sit idly by and ignore you. I will arrest you and put you in jail today to clear out the traitors for the court!”

"Come here, arrest the traitor Wu Fan!" Magistrate Guo said loudly.

"Let's see who dares to arrest my master!" Sun Liang and Tang San stood in front of Wu Fan, looking warily at the guards and government officials brought by Magistrate Guo.

When the servants in the Wu Mansion heard the commotion, they rushed out with kitchen knives, sickles and other weapons. They surrounded Wu Fan and looked at the people opposite with vigilance. They were the servants of the Wu Mansion and the slaves bought by Wu Fan. Wu Fan is their master, and the relationship between them and Wu Fan is one of prosperity and loss. From the day Wu Fan bought them, their lives were Wu Fan's.

There are also guardians among Wu Fan. Wu Fan asked Sun Liang to recruit them before, in order to prevent Magistrate Guo and the rebel forces. At this time, they were all standing beside Wu Fan with weapons.

"I've rebelled against you! You are openly rebelling against the imperial court! It's a capital offense!" Magistrate Guo became furious when he saw so many people coming out of Wu Fan's side.

"Master Guo has such great official power." Wu Fan said calmly: "I am a viscount personally named by His Majesty. Master Guo just made up a reason and wanted to arrest me and put me in jail. Isn't it too arrogant? I want to despise him." You should be the one who is responsible for Wang Fa, right?"

"I have conclusive evidence, Wu Fan. If you don't want to be punished with a higher penalty, I advise you to just surrender and don't resist needlessly." Magistrate Guo said.

"Where's the evidence? Mr. Guo brought it out to open my eyes. You can't just take whatever you say." Wu Fan said: "As for me beating your master, it was because he was rude first. I have a title. How can I tolerate such rudeness from a small official? Even if I beat him lightly, I would still have room to reason with him!"

The master was still standing arrogantly beside Magistrate Guo, ready to see Wu Fan's joke. Now when he heard Wu Fan's words, he subconsciously shrank his neck and took a few steps back unconsciously.

Wu Fan was a viscount, and he was just a low-class master. If there was a conflict between the two, no one would turn against him except Magistrate Guo.

"Of course there is evidence. When you follow me back to the county government office, I will show it to you." Magistrate Guo said. He was also very smart and did not get entangled in the matter of Master being beaten. He knew very well that a When a nobleman with a title fights a low-ranking master, no matter whether the nobleman is justified or not, no one will speak for the master because of the huge disparity in status between the two.

"You want me to go back with you? Does Mr. Guo want to surrender or frame him?" Wu Fan said calmly.

"Wu Fan, don't lie! How could I do such a thing?!" Magistrate Guo became a little angry when Wu Fan exposed his thoughts. He pointed at Wu Fan and said: "I will give you another chance, can you follow?" Follow me back to the county office?”

"No!" Wu Fan said firmly.

Not to mention that Wu Fan had already guessed that Magistrate Guo wanted to frame him, but even if Magistrate Guo didn't intend to do that, he would not leave with Magistrate Guo. He didn't have much time to waste when he came to Qingyuan County this time. Do you have time to follow me to the county government office?

"Okay, very good!" Magistrate Guo said angrily: "Come here and capture the rebel Wu Fan! If there is resistance, shoot without mercy!"

Magistrate Guo's words were filled with murderous intent. He was obviously not joking. In his heart, he even hoped that Wu Fan would resist. In that case, he would have an excuse to kill Wu Fan in the chaos. Once Wu Fan died, he wanted to go to Wu Fan. Any crime can be framed on him, and it is easier to frame him than when Wu Fan was alive.

As for Wu Fan's skills, County Magistrate Guo was not worried at all. There were many people coming from his side. Wu Fan was definitely not a match for his people. Even if Wu Fan had helpers, it would not change the result.

"Yes!" County Magistrate Guo brought the guards and yamen runners to respond at the same time, and the momentum was very strong.

Wu Fan's people did not retreat at all. Wu Fan himself did not mind fighting with County Magistrate Guo. Anyway, he was in the right and his status was higher than County Magistrate Guo. He was not afraid of making things worse.

Both sides were unwilling to give in. The atmosphere on the field was tense. The people who had been watching around seemed to feel that a big battle was about to break out, and subconsciously stepped back a little.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Just as the guards and yamen runners brought by County Magistrate Guo were about to take action, a sharp voice sounded, and then everyone saw a group of cavalry riding tall horses, coming from a distance, and the leader was dressed as a eunuch.

Imperial edict?

How could there be an imperial edict? Who is it for?

Everyone was confused.

The group of cavalrymen came in front of the crowd, and the guards and yamen runners outside subconsciously dispersed a little.

"The imperial edict has arrived!" The leading eunuch looked down at the crowd from his horseback and said again in a sharp voice.

"Guo Guangliang, accept the edict!"
