151 He’s Intentionally Trying to Implicate Me
Liu Chi wished he could slap him away.
He met Shi Dashou’s threatening gaze, and he had no choice but to submit.
He had never suffered so much in his life. When he found a chance, he would teach Shi Dashou a lesson.
Before Liu Chi came out of the pharmacy, Yang Gongbing had already come over with his men.
!!
When Liu Niu saw Yang Gongbing appear with a grim expression, he immediately panicked.
On the day of work, his son had done something dirty in the dormitory. Those meddlesome people must have heard about it.
Liu Niu was as anxious as an ant on a stove. He quickly opened the door of the pharmacy and went inside to find Liu Chi. He said in a panic, “Chi’er, Lord! Lord is here!”
Shi Dashou was also a little fl.u.s.tered. He had done such a thing in broad daylight, and it was in the dormitory of the workshop that had just started construction. Lord Yang would definitely punish him!
When Gu Zhongxun heard them shouting that Lord Yang was here and was so fl.u.s.tered, he could not help but wonder if they had committed some crime and Lord Yang was coming to arrest them.
Liu Chi had already thought it through. If Lord Yang pursued the matter, he would insist to death that they had only fallen while changing their clothes.
Liu Chi leaned close to Shi Dashou and warned, “If you don’t want to be punished, listen to me obediently. No matter what others say or how Lord Yang asks, we only fell accidentally when we were changing!”
It was good that Lord Yang had come at this time. As long as Lord Yang believed it, he would be able to stop everyone from talking.
It was useless for Shi Dashou to threaten him with this in the future. He could save on the medical fees. Shi Dashou also would not dare to go to Lord Yang and confess in future.
It did not matter if his reputation was bad. As a man, as long as he married Cui Lingyi and gave birth to a boy and girl, he would naturally be able to make everyone forget about this matter. At that time, he would ask her father to put in a good word for him in front of Lord Yang. He would definitely be able to obtain a recommendation letter. Liu Chi’s heart was pounding, and he could only comfort himself like this.
Sure enough, Shi Dashou was intimidated. He nodded frantically.
This was the first time Village Chief Zhao had seen such a serious expression on Yang Gongbing’s face. He couldn’t help but ask Zhao Sheng, “What happened?”
‘Did the work progress at the workshop not go well?’
No, Zhao Sheng had just told him yesterday that everything was going well.
Zhao Sheng shook his head and gestured for Village Chief Zhao to stop talking.
Yang Gongbing asked someone to call Liu Niu and his son, Shi Dashou, out.
Shi Dashou was trembling from fear of the officials, and so was Liu Niu. Fortunately, Liu Chi pinched his wrist hard to prevent him from panicking.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao returned with two baskets of hairy cherries and saw many people gathered around the empty field where the children were usually playing.
When she brought Chu Tianbao over, Auntie Yang leaned over and whispered in her ear that Liu Chi and Shi Dashou had done that thing in the dormitory.
Bai Wutong had heard of all sorts of things while alive.
Even if they couldn’t control themselves, they should judge the situation. They actually did it on the first day of the workshop’s opening.
If such a dirty matter were to spread outside, Yang Gongbing would lose face. He might even be blamed for his carelessness and reported for being incompetent. It would even severely affect his political reputation and make it difficult for him to be promoted.
It was originally a good day, but it was messed up by Liu Chi and Shi Dashou.
Yang Gongbing asked angrily, “Liu Chi! Shi Dashou! Hurry up and tell me what you did in the dormitory!”
When Shi Dashou heard Yang Gongbing say his name, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and hurriedly trembled. “Sir, I didn’t do anything.”
Liu Chi said, “Sir, the rumors are all fake. I fell into the ca.n.a.l and accidentally fell when I was changing. The guards guarding the dormitory must have seen that my clothes were wet and can prove my innocence.”
Yang Gongbing’s eyes darkened. “You changed your clothes? Did he change his clothes too?”
Liu Chi was stunned and quickly reacted. “I didn’t expect Brother Shi to suddenly change clothes.”
Yang Gongbing sneered. “Then why are you sleeping together again? And there are even wine bottles on the ground?!”
The moment that was said, everyone was in an uproar. Fortunately, the children were all chased to the side to play.
Liu Chi clenched his fists. “Sir, it was all an accident. We fell and hit our heads, so we fainted together.” He looked at Shi Dashou, who was sweating all over, and hurriedly said, “Brother Shi fell more seriously. When my father came back and found out, he woke me up and immediately sent him here to find a doctor. I wouldn’t dare to lie to you.”
Everyone looked unconvinced.
How could there be such a coincidence?
When Lord Yang heard him finish, his gaze landed on his face, but it deepened.
“Does that mean you did a good deed and saved Shi Dashou?”
Yang Gongbing’s deep voice was extremely oppressive. Liu Chi forced himself to calm down and nodded. Shi Dashou quickly lowered his head and nodded.
But Yang Gongbing suddenly said angrily, “How dare you deceive me!”
Liu Chi trembled. Was he wrong?
Yang Gongbing looked at him coldly. “Bring the witnesses and physical evidence!”
Bao Zhaoshan came forward with physical evidence and witnesses.
Everyone crowded to the front to see what physical evidence there was.
For such an unsightly case, the protagonist was a carpenter and a scholar. If they really did that, they would be gossiped about for the rest of their lives.
Hearing the words ‘witnesses and physical evidence’, Liu Chi felt a bone-chilling chill run down his spine.
If he was convicted, not to mention marrying Cui Lingyi, he might even lose his position as a scholar. He finally panicked and quickly thought of a solution.
Bai Wutong was still thinking what physical evidence it would be. Embarra.s.sment flashed across her eyes as she pulled the curious Chu Tianbao away.
Chu Tianbao hadn’t watched the climax yet. He pouted and said, “Wife, can we leave later?”
How could Bai Wutong dare to let him learn such nonsense? She shook her head firmly. “No!”
Chu Tianbao puffed up his face. “Wife ~”
Bai Wutong pointed at the basket in his hand. “Little cherries break easily. If we don’t go back now, Tianbao won’t be able to eat the best cherry sauce.”
When Chu Tianbao heard this, he immediately took her hand and walked faster than she had just walked.
...
What was more important than the best cherry sauce?
As soon as they left, Bao Zhaoshan raised a porcelain bowl in front of everyone and opened the lid.
Everyone craned their necks. When the men and women standing in front smelled the strong musky smell, their faces suddenly turned red. Who wouldn’t understand what this was?
Liu Chi’s expression changed drastically. He did not expect Yang Gongbing to send someone to get such a thing as evidence.
Shi Dashou was already paralyzed with fear. Before the witness could speak, he kept kowtowing to Yang Gongbing and said repeatedly, “Sir, he was the one who took off his pants to seduce me first. I was drunk and saw him as a woman, so…”
Liu Chi roared angrily, “Shut up! This is not true. He deliberately wanted to implicate me!”
