Chapter 588 Betraying Brothers
Wang Wenzhou rushed to Hanshan School, only to find the school already surrounded by a huge crowd.
The students' parents fell silent upon seeing Wang Wenzhou arrive. The people of Hanshan had a blind reverence for Wang Wenzhou, always believing that whatever the problem, as long as the adults were present, everything could be resolved.
Wang Wenzhou waved to the parents and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, please rest assured, no matter what, I will not let the thugs harm the children. I will go and negotiate with the thugs now."
"Sir, please be careful, these thugs are ruthless."
"Wang Qingtian is wholeheartedly devoted to the people!"
"A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. Sir, you must not put yourself in danger!"
The onlookers had various opinions. The hostage's parents naturally hoped that Wang Wenzhou would step forward to negotiate with the criminals, while many other people did not want Wang Wenzhou to be put in danger.
Wang Wenzhou hurriedly entered the school, and Li Hechen quickly came forward to report the situation.
“Sir, there are five thugs in the classroom. All the children are being held at the back of the classroom because there are no windows there, and all five thugs are armed,” Li Hechen said.
Wang Wenzhou nodded and said, "I'll go talk to them first. You send someone to call Li Decheng over. At a time like this, the prefect of Hanshan cannot be absent."
Li Hechen didn't quite understand. Although Li Decheng was the prefect of Hanshan, he could only command a few of his servants in Hanshan. Why did Wang Wenzhou send him here?
Just as Wang Wenzhou was about to leave, Chen Yuanyuan shouted, "Husband, wait!"
Wang Wenzhou said with a wry smile, "Yuanyuan is fine, don't worry. These thugs aren't stupid. If they kill me, they're doomed too."
Chen Yuanyuan quickly waved to the guards behind her and ordered, "Quickly get a suit of armor for the master to put on."
The guard obeyed the order, brought over a suit of armor, and helped Wang Wenzhou put it on.
Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile. Chen Yuanyuan was just worried and confused. Wearing armor or not made little difference. If the villains wanted him dead, wearing armor wouldn't help.
After donning his armor, Wang Wenzhou strode into the classroom and shouted, "I am Wang Wenzhou, and I've come to negotiate with you."
Ajige poked his head out, glanced at Wang Wenzhou, and, confirming it was indeed Wang Wenzhou, quickly said, "Come in!"
Wang Wenzhou opened the door and entered the room, only to find all the children squatting at the back of the classroom, while four thugs stood in the four corners, armed with weapons.
"Pfft!" Wang Wenzhou almost burst out laughing. He saw Jiang Xuyang squatting on the ground with his arm around a pretty little girl, as if comforting her: "Baby, don't be afraid, I'm here for you!"
Jiang Xuyang looked up and saw Wang Wenzhou, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Dad! You're so loyal!"
Wang Wenzhou spoke up, "Heroes, the Hanshan government office is in the square, and there are only two old men guarding the entrance. If you have grievances, go to the Hanshan government office and settle accounts with Prefect Li Decheng. Why take your anger out on the children? That's utterly despicable!"
"Bang!" Ajige kicked Wang Wenzhou and said coldly, "Wang Wenzhou, open your dog eyes and see clearly who I am!"
Wang Wenzhou carefully examined Ajige and finally recognized him.
Wang Wenzhou exclaimed in surprise, "Ajige! How did you get so thin?"
"Pfft..." Ajige was on the verge of tears. Mad dog, how dare you say that? I was tortured by your subordinates!
Upon seeing Wang Wenzhou, Ajige was filled with rage and began punching and kicking him.
That bastard Ajige is really ruthless. Wang Wenzhou was very glad that he was wearing armor, otherwise he might have broken a few bones.
"Stop hitting him! Brother, let's talk this out. Why did you come all the way from the Qing Dynasty?" Wang Wenzhou roughly guessed why Ajige had come to Hanshan. He was probably here to settle scores with him, since Dorgon had been castrated by Mu Qingyun.
"Hmph!" Ajige said irritably, "I've come to take your life!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuyang's expression changed, and he winked at Wang Wenzhou: "Dad, how about we fight them?"
Wang Wenzhou quickly waved his hand at Jiang Xuyang, "Good son, don't rush. If we can outsmart him, we will. Taking action is too dangerous."
"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou stood up, pointing at Ajige and cursing, "Ajige, are you out of your mind? What did I do to offend you? You came all the way from the Qing Dynasty to Hanshan to kill me? Dorgon and I are good brothers! Dorgon's only daughter is engaged to my son, and she's in Hanshan right now. I've always treated her like my own daughter. You, as Dorgon's own brother, came all this way to kill me, are you out of your mind?"
Ajige roared, "Wang Wenzhou, you mad dog! You repay kindness with enmity and betray your brothers! Don't you remember what you've done?"
"Huh?" Wang Wenzhou said in a feigned manner, "Brother, I don't understand what you're saying! When have I ever betrayed my brothers? Back when Dorgon launched a surprise attack on the Ming Dynasty, I risked my life to send a fleet to help! Because of that, I was almost killed by Zhu Youjian! How could I betray my brothers? What exactly do you mean?"
"Huh?" Ajige was completely bewildered. Could it be that the one who plotted against Dorgon wasn't Wang Wenzhou's man? Or was it that bastard Zhu Youjian who interfered and sowed discord between Dorgon and Wang Wenzhou?
“Wang Wenzhou, don’t play dumb! You really don’t know?” Ajige asked coldly.
Wang Wenzhou quickly said, "Brother, please speak frankly. We are not outsiders. Dorgon and I are sworn brothers, and you are Dorgon's elder brother. In a sense, we are brothers too. What can't brothers say to each other?"
Ajige thought about it and agreed. Although Wang Wenzhou acted arrogantly and strangely, he wasn't stupid. Why would he send someone to castrate Dorgon for no reason? And judging from Wang Wenzhou's appearance, he really didn't know about this.
Ajige said with a sob in his voice, "Wang Wenzhou, someone impersonated your man and castrated Dorgon."
"What?" Wang Wenzhou feigned shock and said, "Who is so bold as to impersonate my man? Brother, you can't be fooled! Think carefully, why would I send someone to castrate Dorgon? It wouldn't benefit me at all! Dorgon and I are sworn brothers! Think again, could it be Huang Taiji or Zhu Youjian who are behind this?"
Upon hearing this, Ajige suddenly realized, "That's right! This was most likely done by Huang Taiji! Zhu Youjian didn't have that ability in the Qing Dynasty."
Ajige was filled with utter grievance. When he first learned of this, he hadn't given it much thought, not even informing Dorgon, before furiously leading his men to Hanshan to kill Wang Wenzhou and avenge Dorgon. What a mistake! Now, he hadn't even managed to kill Wang Wenzhou, and instead, he had been castrated by Wang Wenzhou's men!
Thinking of this, Ajige was both angry and furious, and gave Wang Wenzhou another beating.
Jiang Xuyang, with the pretty young girl in his arms, looked at Wang Wenzhou with questioning eyes: "Dad, should we make a move? As long as you give the order, I will fight them with my classmates. I have already discussed it with my classmates!"
Wang Wenzhou quickly shook his head secretly: You little brat, don't cause trouble. Your father is confident he can fool Ajige into a stupor!
Wang Wenzhou squatted on the ground with his hands covering his head, and said aggrievedly, "Brother, what do you mean?! Dorgon really wasn't harmed by me! Why are you hitting me?"
"Fuck you!" Ajige cursed, "Wang Wenzhou, what are we going to do about this? Your men castrated me! And cut off one of my fingers!"
"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou was dumbfounded. Who the hell did this? Well done! But if you castrated Ajige, why did you let him out to harm people?
