Chapter 103 Punish Them For Their Sins
103 Punish Them For Their Sins
Bai Wutong was still angry and ignored him.
Chu Tianbao quietly moved his head closer to Bai Wutong and sniffed the fragrance on her body. The pain in his body felt much better.
Bai Wutong looked up and met a pair of sparkling black eyes. She glanced at him coldly and said nothing.
Chu Tianbao was no longer as frightened as before. He smiled obsequiously. “Wife, I went to pick honey and red fruits.” His swollen pig face looked a little comical, pitiful, and silly.
!!
Bai Wutong ignored him. He could still laugh now, which meant that the bees did not sting him much.
“Continue taking off your clothes!” It was Chu Tianbao’s fault for not tightening his pants when he went out at night. When the bees flew in, even his ankles were swollen.
Chu Tianbao was stunned. He looked puzzled. When he saw Bai Wutong’s gloomy expression, he loosened his pants without hesitation.
Bai Wutong turned and took a blanket so that he could lie down naked and cover the main body parts before pulling out the poisonous stinger from the lower half of his body.
While she was angry, she stared at the hairy legs in front of her and couldn’t help but think about making a few pairs of underwear for Chu Tianbao.
Bai Wutong heaved a sigh of relief after pulling out all the poisonous stingers from Chu Tianbao’s lower body as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, although Chu Tianbao was stung badly, he was not allergic.
After cleaning Chu Tianbao’s wound with disinfectant, Bai Wutong added iodine to it to reduce the inflammation. At first, Chu Tianbao felt a burning pain. Towards the end, Bai Wutong’s gentle movements only made him feel itchy. He arched his body and turned over. He actually fell asleep comfortably like a master being served.
Bai Wutong packed the items and was about to teach this guy a deep lesson for running out in the middle of the night to dig a beehive. When she turned around, she saw that he had turned over and the blanket that had been covering him had disappeared.
“…”
In an instant, Bai Wutong’s face flushed red. Her hand reacted faster than her brain. She picked up the blanket beside her and immediately covered Chu Tianbao’s body, including his head.
After a few seconds of silence, Bai Wutong sat by the bed to calm herself down. Her mind was filled with the scenes from previously that could not be forgotten.
Chu Tianbao, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly. He even reached out from under the blanket and subconsciously touched Bai Wutong who was usually there. He wanted to pull her into his arms and even muttered, “Wife ~”
A warm touch came from his hand. Bai Wutong turned around and lifted the blanket to let him breathe. Chu Tianbao felt his face itch from time to time, and he slept uneasily.
Bai Wutong sighed. “You deserve it. Who asked you to be greedy.” She took out an ice pack from her s.p.a.ce and wrapped it in a towel. She gently applied it to his face to reduce the itch and swelling.
When he woke up the next day, Chu Tianbao knew that he could not eat any of the snacks made with the honey and mountain red he worked hard to obtain.
Chu Tianbao felt that this punishment was too heartbreaking. He tugged at Bai Wutong’s sleeve and cried, “Wife—”
Bai Wutong glanced at him coldly. “Do you still dare to do it again?”
Chu Tianbao looked aggrieved. “I won’t do it again.”
“Don’t dare what anymore?”
“…” Chu Tianbao couldn’t answer.
Bai Wutong lowered her eyes. Just as she was about to ask him and Huang Zhong to go to the tent to reflect, Qingfeng said, “Someone from the government office is here.”
Apart from the people from the government office, the w.a.n.g brothers also came.
Village Chief Zhao and the others went forward to welcome them. Feng Qun swept his gaze across them coldly.
Previously, his att.i.tude was not good, but he was not so arrogant.
Feng Qun said, “Count the number of people. Everyone, stand out in an orderly manner. If there are any refugees running around.” He gave everyone an extremely fierce warning look.
The officials could decide on whether they could obtain a household register at the Jade Spiritual Mountain. As long as it was not too much, Bai Wutong and the others would cooperate.
After everyone stood up, the w.a.n.g brothers followed behind Feng Qun and the others, examining them one by one.
When w.a.n.g Chang’s gaze landed on Cui Lingyi’s face, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable evil thoughts.
Qingfeng stomped on his foot.
w.a.n.g Chang immediately held his feet and jumped up.
When w.a.n.g Qi saw that Qingfeng had stepped on his second brother and was about to complain, his back was pinched by someone. As long as he dared to open his mouth, he would feel the pain of his spine being instantly broken. He immediately held back the words he wanted to say.
He could guarantee that if he said a word, they would really dare to kill him with special methods or leave him forever mute.
Feng Qun glanced at the hopping w.a.n.g Chang, thinking that he was useless.
w.a.n.g Chang clenched his fists. He felt extremely humiliated in front of Bai Wutong and the others.
After counting the number of people, Feng Qun said coldly, “You’re all from foreign lands. The mayor has named this place as Youjia Village for you. In the future, you’ll be people from Youjia Village. Anyone who doesn’t abide by the Ling Kingdom’s laws will be directly recorded as lowly status. The women will be prost.i.tutes for generations, and the men will be slaves for generations!”
The name “Youjia Village” was not bad, but this bailiff was too detestable.
Seeing that they were still quite obedient, Feng Qun felt that the matter that Landlord Xiong had asked him to do was almost guaranteed to be simple to handle.
He picked up the record book and called them by name.
Soon almost all the people in their team were called out.
Chu Tianbao stood at the front. Feng Qun looked at his comical swollen face with disgust. “According to the rules, you should all go and work to mine rocks. Follow us now!”
It had only been a few days since they had settled down, and they were already making their people mine rocks. How could they still explore the land?!
If they could not explore the land, they could not farm. If they could not farm, they could not hand over food. This bailiff was trying to force them into becoming fallen citizens.
Seeing that their expressions were not pleasant, Feng Qun suddenly smiled sinisterly and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to go. You’ve occupied the forest in Lintian Village, so it’s only right that you compensate them. I don’t have to teach you what to do right?”
Feng Qun had asked all of their people to forcefully serve in the labor in order to make them submit and obediently give up the wood.
Fortunately, they were already prepared. Cui Shize stood up and said coldly, “I wonder which law of the Ling Kingdom states that all our men don’t even have a piece of land and have to serve?”
Cui Shize had the aura of an official. Feng Qun looked over and panicked for a moment before his face darkened and he used his power to suppress him. “It does not matter when you have your land, if I say you want to serve now, you have to serve now! For however long I say you have to serve, you have to serve that long! If you dare to be disobedient, Youjia Village will no longer be a village!”
Feng Qun was the head of the government officers in Woqian Town who was in charge of the labor distribution. His words were equivalent to an imperial edict other than the mayor’s.
Cui Shize had already memorized the laws of the Ling Kingdom in the past few days. He said firmly, “According to the current laws of the Ling Kingdom, a village only needs 200 people to partic.i.p.ate in labor every half a year. The refugee village only needs 200 people to partic.i.p.ate in labor every year, and each time they partic.i.p.ate in labor, it can’t exceed a month.”
“You changed the rules of the Duke Chu, persecuted the people, and used your power for personal gain. According to the rules of the Ling Kingdom, your crimes should be punishable!”
