Chapter 1053 I’m giving you too much face
Moreover, County Lieutenant Zhong led his soldiers to escort the criminal to the yamen gate and tortured him publicly.
County Magistrate Zhong was also furious. He had just left Taifeng Town for one day when this group of people came out to cause trouble. It was obvious that they were keeping track of his whereabouts.
This anger is unbearable.
So, bang bang bang!
The soldiers did not dare to hold back and beat the Peng, Zhang, Qian and Yang families severely. Even Bazi and Shanhuai were dragged out to beat them together.
Only the pregnant Widow Li escaped.
"Ahhh! Wuuuuu!" The screams and cries continued, attracting people from the two nearby streets to come and watch the fun.
"What's going on? Why are there suddenly so many prisoners? And they're even publicly beating people with sticks." People in the county asked, their voices trembling with excitement... Oh my God, it's almost the New Year, and there's still this kind of gossip to read, so exciting!
"I know that the in-laws of the female worker from another county went to Taifeng Town to look for the female worker. They ended up spewing filth and spreading rumors, and were jointly sued by the Qin family and the female worker."
"The Qin family has announced that as long as the female workers are right, they will support them to the end!"
"Oh my, Master Qin is really as good as his word. He really protects his female workers... My granddaughter is also learning to identify medicinal herbs and do accounting. When the Qin family recruits workers in the future, I will send her to interview. The Qin family has female accountants in all three workshops. The wages are three times higher than those of ordinary female workers. If she can get a job as a female accountant, she will never have to worry about her life!"
"Oh my God, the wages are so high, so I have to let my daughter learn to read and do accounting. If she is chosen by the Qin family to be the female accountant, her monthly salary can support the whole family, and then my whole family can lie down and eat and drink!"
The people in the county looked sideways when they heard this, wanting to see what the blood-sucking worm looked like. Hmm, it had no flesh on its cheeks, which was indeed not a good look. They remembered it and stayed away from it!
"No matter whether you can work for the Qin family or not, being able to read and write and understanding pharmacology are all talents that can be used in your life, so it's not in vain to learn them." Someone said.
"Ouch, a criminal was knocked unconscious!"
However, the torture continued, bang bang bang, the soldiers continued to beat
clang!
The gong sounded and the sticks were withdrawn. The soldiers reported to County Lieutenant Zhong: "Sir, the punishment is over!"
"Hmm." County Commandant Zhong nodded, his heavy armor gleaming as he swept his gaze over the onlookers from the county town, and proclaimed loudly, "The Qin family is protected by His Majesty's imperial power. Anyone who dares to plot against the Qin family will suffer the same fate as these criminals!"
"Come here, inform the public of the crimes these criminals committed and the punishments they received. I hope everyone will learn from this!"
After saying this, he stood like a door god to guard the place, and asked three messengers to take turns reading out repeatedly the evil deeds done by Peng, Zhang, Qian, Yang and the mountain people.
When the people of the county heard about the evil deeds done by the Peng, Zhang, Qian, and Yang families, they were stunned. "Oh my God! It's true that impoverished places breed unruly people. These country folks are so arrogant that they bring people to strip decent women's clothes in public. You truly have no respect for the law!"
Many people in the county knew the law, so when they heard about this, they all thought Mrs. Zhang was truly insane: "You are so fearless! Don't you even think about your descendants? After you've done such evil things, which respectable family would dare marry into your family? I'd rather hang myself than set foot in your Zhang family!"
"Yes, it was Aunt Peng who instigated me to do evil. My family is a good one, not so vicious. Aunt Peng is the real vicious one!" Aunt Zhang was still fighting, and she angrily scolded Aunt Peng: "Aunt Peng, you old thing, stop playing dead, and explain clearly to the villagers, it's all your family's fault!"
Mrs. Peng didn't even look at Mrs. Zhang, and her mouth was blocked, so she couldn't say anything... This woman was a real ruthless person, and the county government didn't dare to let her go, for fear that she would bite her tongue and commit suicide in the county government.
"Ah, tsk!" Many people in the county town spat at Officer Peng. "Thank goodness this bastard's job was dismissed, otherwise who knows how many villagers would have been harmed."
"Ah, spit, spit! Neighbors of the county, stop spitting and spit on the Qian and Yang families. These two families are also very evil. One wants to sell their daughter-in-law and granddaughter into prostitution, and the other beat their daughter-in-law to the point of having a miscarriage. They are not human beings. Don't let them go. Spit hard!"
"Yes, yes, everyone, vomit together!"
The sounds of spitting came one after another, and County Magistrate Zhong's cold face was almost cracked by them.
"Neighbors, move aside! Here comes the stinking pig offal water!"
With a shout, the people in the county town hurriedly made way.
A masked, thin man carrying a bucket splashed foul water at the group of criminals. "Aaaah, you outsiders are going too far! When Liuge'er comes back, you'll be sorry!" Shanhuai and Bazi, covered in the foul water, couldn't take it anymore and cursed loudly.
however……
Wow!
The remaining stinky water was splashed on their faces.
After splashing the water, the masked thin man turned around and left... That's right, he came here specifically to splash the water on these two guys.
Bazi Shanhuai relied on his status and was very domineering. Every time he came to the county town, he bullied ordinary people and took things from shops for free.
They stole six pieces of colored cloth from Tang Boyang's cloth shop, which made Tang Boyang very angry. He went to the government office to file a complaint.
But it didn't work very well. County Magistrate Kang was always concerned about the defense line in the mountains and asked the people in the county to be patient.
The shops really had no choice but to close down every time they heard that Bazishanhuai had entered the county town and avoid these two plague gods.
Bazi said nothing, just stared at the ground with a cold gaze, and he had already developed murderous intentions towards everyone in Baofu County.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my leg.
"Ah!" Bazi screamed and turned his head to see that it was County Lieutenant Zhong who had caused his kneecap to dislocate.
Shan Huai had his jaw removed, and he hung his chin, screaming in pain and fear.
County Lieutenant Zhong stood before them, looking down at them: "The Qin family and Magistrate Kang are easy to talk to, but I, Zhong, am a man who has been on the battlefield, killed the enemy, and traversed mountains of corpses and seas of blood. I have no family, so if I accidentally cut off your heads, I only need to be punished as the one who suffers. I have no worries about the future."
"You two, do you understand?"
"Ahhhh!" Shanhuai was so scared that he kept nodding his head.
Although Bazi was not convinced, he was sensible and nodded to show that he understood.
"Humph, I'm really giving you too much face. You're becoming even more rampant. I'm telling you, you'd better ensure that the mountain defense line remains in place. Otherwise, ha!"
If the defense line inside the mountain is destroyed, the Wei army will have a legitimate reason to advance into the mountain and conduct a large-scale military training.
"County Commandant Zhong is tough! The neighbors are all clapping and cheering!" The people of the county had long suffered from these two scoundrels. Seeing County Commandant Zhong teach them a lesson in public, their pent-up frustration vanished, and they felt incredibly happy. They applauded County Commandant Zhong enthusiastically.
The punishment at the yamen gate lasted for a long time before it ended.
After the beating, County Magistrate Kang threw them directly into the cell without trying them: "We will try them again after the New Year. As for whether the criminals can survive after the New Year, that depends on God's will."
These words were passed on to the ears of the prisoners from the Peng, Zhang, Qian and Yang families by the jailer.
This time, Granny Peng was truly terrified, fearing that her son, Constable Peng, would freeze to death in prison. She cried out, wanting to confess so that the yamen would only punish her and allow Constable Peng to escape alive.
Unfortunately, she overestimated the value of human life in the eyes of officials, and no one cared about her confession.
Mrs. Peng became more and more frightened... The adults wanted them to die in prison to prevent a series of troubles after they were released.
"Mmmm!" Mrs. Peng cried, trying to say that she knew she was wrong and that her family would not dare to retaliate against Peng Su and her son again. She begged the adults to give her a chance to live.
