The moment he saw the villagers arriving, Lai Zili"s eyes lit up and he felt that he could be saved. He opened his mouth wide and shouted, "Help, Li Qingling wants to kill me!"He did not believe that Li Qingling would dare to kill him in front of so many people.
This … This Lai Zili couldn"t have been shot by him, right?
"Flies don"t bite seamless eggs." Lin Shi who was in the midst of the crowd snorted coldly. It was not easy to get this opportunity, so of course she wouldn"t let Mrs. Zhao go.
Hearing that, the people of the village looked at Mrs. Zhao in a different light. Although Mrs. Zhao was suntanned down, but she had proper five officers and was famous in the village for being good-looking.
When they first married to Li Laigui, there were many men in the village that were envious of Li Laigui"s good fortune in marrying such a beautiful woman.
Even though she was pregnant, she wasn"t as obese as the other women. Instead, she had an attractive charm to her.No wonder Lai Zili had a perverted heart.
"Nonsense, we know very well about Hui Niang"s character." Although Auntie Huang"s mouth was a little broken, she was kind, "On the other hand, Lai Zili has done a lot of things like stealing chickens and dogs. Which village in the village hasn"t been stolen by him before?"This Lai Zili did not have any good intentions, seeing that he was an orphan, he wanted to bully his.
Li Qingling gratefully looked at Aunty Huang, and in the blink of an eye, he coldly glanced at Lin Shi. Don"t think that just because you"re hiding in the crowd, you don"t know that it"s her, Lin Shi, who is provoking you.
It wouldn"t be too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
"Then why didn"t Lai Zili talk about the others just to talk about her Zhao Huiniang?" Lin Shi was not willing to let it go, this time she had to make Zhao Huiniang"s reputation worse.
The villagers also felt that this made sense, and all of them began to discuss softly, pointing at Mrs. Zhao.
Being looked at with colourful eyes, Mrs. Zhao"s face alternated between red and white. Li Qingling reached out and grabbed her hand, telling her not to be afraid.
Mrs. Zhao lowered her head and smiled at Li Qingling, took a deep breath, straightened her back, looked straight at the crowd, and said coldly: "No matter how blind my Zhao Huiniang is, he would never take a fancy to a man like Lai Zili." This kind of useless person, she didn"t even want to give it to her.
With that said, a burst of wailing sounds could be heard from the door. "Child, don"t die. If you die, what will mother do?" When the Huang Clan saw her own son lying on the ground with a pool of blood on him, she howled even louder, "Zhao Huiniang, you wretched s.l.u.t, it"s one thing to seduce my son, but you actually dared to injure my son to such an extent? I want to fight it out with you. "
With that, she rushed towards Mrs. Zhao with the imposing manner of someone who wanted to beat Mrs. Zhao to death. Before she could even reach Mrs. Zhao, she was startled by an arrow that brushed past her ear.She lay paralyzed on the ground, her eyes wide open, her throat blocked by a stone, unable to make a sound.
The noisy crowd instantly went silent.
Everyone looked at the arrow that was stuck in the ground. It had sunk to the ground and was still swinging. Everyone"s heart skipped a beat.If this arrow were to hit a person"s body, would they still be able to survive?
Thinking about it, everyone looked at Li Qingling with fear.
Don"t look at how young Li Qingling was, he was not someone to be trifled with!
"If you let me hear the words to slander my mother again, don"t blame me for not having eyes for this bow." Her cold eyes swept across the crowd, and they all felt like they were being watched by a snake, which was extremely horrifying, "Lai Zili, you said that my mother asked you to come here, then why didn"t you go in openly and instead use a knife to break open the door? "Hmm?""This …" Lai Zili rolled his eyes a few times, and stuttered: "Because she was afraid that you guys would know, so she let me enter through the door."
To think that he could come up with such a lie. He truly is a talent...
Li Qingling did not hesitate to grab the arrow on Lai Zili"s thigh. Before she could even move, Lai Zili started to wail, "Don"t move, don"t move, we"re going to die." The feeling of wanting to die was simply too terrifying.
"Speak properly and think properly. Otherwise, I will send you directly to the yamen and have Lord Qingtian come to interrogate you. When that time comes, it will not be as simple as two b.l.o.o.d.y holes." She squinted her eyes and stared at Lai Zili, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
"How dare you! The Zhao Huiniang does not follow the rules of a woman. She seduced my son and now she dares to send him to the yamen?" Hearing that, Mrs Huang could not take it anymore, and pointed at Li Qingling and cursed.
After she scolded, Li Qingling"s face turned cold, the hand holding the arrow fiercely stirred twice, causing Lai Zili to scream out loud, the cloth on his thigh was once again stained with blood.
Mrs Huang"s voice suddenly stopped, her eyes stared wide, as she looked at Li Qingling in fear.Even the people standing in the courtyard were scared to the point that their legs turned to jelly.
Li Qingling"s face was extremely cold, his voice even colder. She turned his head to look at Liu Zhimo and asked him, what kind of punishment is there for a thief to be able to enter the house and steal?
Liu Zhimo stood by Li Qingling"s side, expressionlessly looking at Mrs Huang, and said word by word: "Those who enter the house to steal weapons, get beaten to death by the master, do not bear any responsibility." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Send him to the yamen. Beat up twenty people and lock him up in the prison."
Hearing this, everyone jumped in fright, and the face of the Huang family paled even more.Li Qingling snorted coldly, he looked at Lai Zili once again, his face filled with pity. "Lai Zili, don"t blame me for being heartless, this was all done by you and your mother." If they didn"t teach her a lesson, would they have thought that she was a sick cat?
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I don"t want to go to jail!" Lai Zili knew that Li Qingling was not joking and truly wanted to send him off to the yamen, "I … My mouth is stinky, I shouldn"t have slandered your mother. I truly know my wrongs.
Playing with the slingshot, Li Qingling asked, "Why did you come to her house?"
Lai Zili stammered, "I … I lost my bet and even owed someone a silver tael, so I want to come to your house to steal from you … I don"t dare anymore, I really don"t dare anymore. " If he said that he had a crush on Mrs. Zhao and wanted to steal her incense, Li Qingling would kill him without saying a word. For his little life, he wouldn"t dare to say it.
Upon hearing his words, everyone looked at him with disdain. It was one thing to steal from here, but you dared to slander others. It was simply unforgivable.
She swallowed her saliva and begged Li Qingling not to send Lai Zili to the yamen.
She was only one son. Although this son wasn"t good, he was still born in October, so she couldn"t just watch him die.
Li Qingling looked at her in an embarra.s.sed manner but did not say a word. He then asked the Village Chief to save her son.
The village chief sighed with a headache, he never thought that Li Qingling would be so valiant. To be able to shoot Lai Zili in such a state, was truly terrifying.
However, he couldn"t blame her. If she wasn"t fierce, she wouldn"t be able to protect her mother."Xiao Ling, look. They"re all from the same village. Lai Zili knows his wrongs. The village chief looked at Li Qingling and opened his mouth with difficulty, "I know that you guys have been wronged, but if this matter were to be spread out, it would not be good for the village"s reputation. Can you not send Lai Zili to the yamen because of me?"
If her family still wanted to live in the village, they had to give face to the village chief.
"Since that"s the case, then we won"t send him to the yamen, but we still need to punish him. If we don"t punish him, he won"t repent, for this time, he was able to come to my house to steal from me, to slander my mother, and the next time, he will be able to steal from other families in the village to slander his other sister-in-law." She smiled even more gently. "Village Head, what do you think?"
"Of course." The village chief nodded, it was about time Lai Zili taught him a lesson, let him remember something, don"t steal things all day.
Looking at the bleeding Lai Zili, Li Qingling"s eyes grew deeper. This time, he would be considered lucky, but there would not be a next time."Then I"ll have to trouble the village chief with this matter!" She looked worried. "My mother was scared, and she wasn"t feeling well. I had to stay at home with her." I believe the Village Chief will give her an explanation.
The village chief said yes, and got the men to help him carry Lai Zili away.
"Right." Li Qingling shouted, and everyone stopped moving and turned to look at Li Qingling, waiting for her words, "After you pull out the arrow, remember to return it to me. My father didn"t leave many arrows, so there are only three in a row."
Seeing her smiling face, everyone"s heart turned cold. They hurriedly left the courtyard. If they weren"t afraid of losing face, they would have already run away.
When they reached the village chief at the back, he nodded to Li Qingling and said that he would bring him back.
