106 Tianbao is also Sweet _ 1
Xiong Chixin and the others were dumbfounded by Yang Gongbing’s quick judgment. The people outside the hall were extremely excited.
‘He’s a good official!’
They looked at each other, and immediately, one of them knelt down and pointed at Landlord Xiong. “Sir, Landlord Xiong has forcibly taken over our shop that has been pa.s.sed down for generations. Please help us!” If Landlord Xiong’s a.s.sets were all confiscated, they would never be able to take back their ancestral property.
Landlord Xiong bared his teeth. “Nonsense, I paid for it. I have a contract!”
The man complained, “Sir, our family’s ancestral property is worth 50 taels of silver, but he only gave us five copper coins. Who would sell their ancestral store for five copper coins? Landlord Xiong forced me to leave my fingerprint at the magistrate office! Boohoo…”
Apart from him, other people also stood out and pointed at Landlord Xiong as he cried bitterly. “Sir, he… he even s.e.xually a.s.saulted my unmarried daughter. My daughter couldn’t take the blow and committed suicide in the river!!! Sir, please seek justice for my daughter!”
Landlord Xiong cursed angrily, “Bullsh*t! I don’t like village girls at all!”
It was not just the people who were pointing out Landlord Xiong’s crimes. There were also many people who pointed out Feng Qun in the hall.
“Sir, it’s not the first time that Feng Qun has secretly changed the labor records. In order to earn money, he sold the labor quota. Those who can’t afford it have to keep providing labor. My youngest son went to the quarry for more than three months last year and didn’t get a day of rest. He was exhausted to death and no one even collected his corpse. When I received the news and rushed over, he already had maggots growing on his body. Boohoo, Sir, please uphold justice for my son!”
“Sir, my brother has been in labor for more than two months. He has long pa.s.sed the end date for labor. Meanwhile, those who have spent money to avoid labor are eating and drinking at home. I even dreamed yesterday that my brother was telling me that he was about to die. He said that he was not able to eat and wear warm clothes. Sir, please, let my brother come back!”
“Sir…”
“Sir…”
Countless people in the hall knelt down and made their complaints.
For a moment, all the bailiffs in the government office were trembling, afraid that they would be the next to be accused.
The prosecutor was so busy that he was sweating profusely. He wished he could grow eight hands to write the complaints.
There were too many crimes against Landlord Xiong and Feng Qun. They had to be tried one by one. Yang Gongbing ordered someone to detain the w.a.n.g brothers first.
As they were pulled away, they were still shouting, “Sir, we are innocent, we are innocent—”
The case was already closed, so Cui Shize and the others were going back first.
Yang Gongbing really could not take the time to see Yang Quanzi, so he could only get someone to inform Cui Shize that he would visit as soon as he was free.
After the whole incident, it was already dark when Cui Shize and the others returned to the Jade Spiritual Mountain.
Dinner was ready and everyone was waiting for them to return.
Bai Wutong saw the flames glowing on the mountainside and said, “They’re back.”
Auntie Yang said happily, “I’ll get everyone to set up the table now.”
When Cui Shize and the others came down from the hill, everyone stood up to welcome them.
Bai Wutong asked, “What was Lord Yang’s judgment?”
Cui Shize said, “The two brothers of the w.a.n.g family will be executed the next day and they are imprisoned now. Their a.s.sets will be confiscated. The rest of them were involved in many cases and will all be investigated.”
The verdict was satisfying and everyone looked happy.
Cui Shize looked at Yang Quanzi and said, “Teacher, Lord Yang has a lot of work to do now and can’t leave for the time being. He said that he will personally visit another day.”
Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and laughed happily. “I’ll wait for him to come.”
Everyone ate together. There were no rules like not talking while eating.
Everyone chatted and laughed. After having a happy dinner, they went back to rest.
Chu Tianbao followed Bai Wutong into the tent like an aggrieved wife.
Bai Wutong washed up and prepared to go to bed. Chu Tianbao didn’t do anything and crawled into bed.
Bai Wutong pulled away the blanket that he had pretended to disappear in and rushed him, “Go wash up quickly. If you don’t clean yourself up, go sleep with Lin Yue.”
Chu Tianbao opened his big watery eyes and reached out to pull her sleeve. He said gloomily, “Wife ~”
He was really sad that he did not get to eat the candied hawthorn, red cakes and roll. And now his wife was even scolding him.
Bai Wutong grabbed his big hand and pulled him up. “Go wash up!”
Chu Tianbao did not receive any words of comfort, but he did not want to sleep with Lin Yue, so he could only wash up.
When he returned from washing up, Bai Wutong was already lying under the blanket.
Chu Tianbao got in with ease and did not let a trace of heat come out. The cold air brought in from outside stuck to the back of Bai Wutong, and her back immediately trembled.
Bai Wutong subconsciously shrank in. Chu Tianbao pressed against her again and even placed his head at her neck. He repeated unhappily, “Candied hawthorn, red cake, red roll, candied hawthorn, red cake, red roll…”
This time she had made them using sweet honey. It would definitely taste better.
Boohoo, too bad he hadn’t tried anything.
Not even a tiny red roll.
He was so sad.
Tianbao had been stung by bees until he became so swollen, but his wife refused to let him eat it.
His wife was so heartless.
Wuwuwu…
As Chu Tianbao muttered, he cried in his heart.
He kept muttering so much that Bai Wutong’s ears were about to get calluses.
She turned around and pinched Chu Tianbao’s chubby face that was comparable to Stinky’s. “Are you going to sleep? If not, go outside and run two rounds.”
It was cold outside, and it was not as comfortable as hugging his fragrant and soft wife.
Chu Tianbao shook his head sullenly and tightened his grip around her even more. “Tianbao doesn’t want that.”
Then, he muttered in her ear, “Candied hawthorn, red cake, red roll…”
...
His obsession was too deep. If he didn’t eat the food, Chu Tianbao would definitely talk about it all night.
Bai Wutong did not know how to deal with him. She suddenly sat up. “Stop muttering the same words.”
Chu Tianbao thought she was going to be angry. He cowered like a pitiful squirrel.
Bai Wutong took out a red roll from her pajamas pocket and said, “You have to remember to tell me before you do anything, okay?”
Chu Tianbao took the red roll from Bai Wutong’s hand with a whoosh and nodded. “Yes, yes. If my wife doesn’t agree, I will definitely not enter the mountain, nor will I pick honey and red fruits. If I go, I will bring my wife along.”
Was he going to bring her along to suffer the bee stings?
Bai Wutong smiled helplessly and her tone became much gentler. “Go on and eat.”
Chu Tianbao put the red roll into his mouth and smiled foolishly. “Wife, it’s so sweet.”
When he smiled, his already swollen eye formed a line and almost disappeared. His fleshy cheeks bulged, making him look even nicer to pinch.
Bai Wutong reached out to pinch him and smiled. “Tianbao is also sweet.”
