Chapter 281: The Person Most Qualified to Beat You in the Wo
nscription, was not from the common people, but from officials of all ranks in the imperial court, and even from among noble families!Almost every household received the draft notice. Any grandson wh...Several guards, carrying packages on their backs and swords at their waists, whipped a group of prisoners as they walked out.
The prison held men, women and children of all ages, over thirty in total. They were all disheveled, with unkempt hair and ragged clothing.
Fortunately, they still had a pair of good shoes on their feet. Otherwise, given their appearance, it's doubtful they could even make it to the southwest capital.
Jia Yin sat in the Marquis's arms, leaning against the carriage window, straining her neck to look out, and whispered, "Foster Father, are all these people going to the southwest"
The Marquis shook his head and replied with a smile, "No, they're only walking this road within the city to let the common people see them more often, as a warning. After leaving the city, there will be carriages, but not many. They will still have to take turns walking and resting in turn."
Jia Yin nodded, her eyes wide open, continuing to watch the excitement.
The Lord saw that there was no fear in her expression, so he didn't stop her. Whether good or bad, a child needs to see and hear more in order to become more familiar and understand this world better.
A flower raised in a greenhouse, sheltered from wind and rain its whole life, is naturally lucky. But who can guarantee that wind and rain will never come
Even he, as powerful as he was, couldn't guarantee anything. He could only hope that his child would be strong and clever.
Li, the old woman, clutched the basket tightly in her hand, her eyes fixed on the young female prisoners in the line.
She wanted to find Wang E, but she didn't know her at all.
But fortunately, Wang E wasn't the only one who hated him.
The crowd, which had been quietly watching the commotion, suddenly erupted into a cacophony when a woman in a large, gray coat stepped forward.
“Look, that’s Wang E!”
"Serves her right! Today is what she deserves!"
"Poison Woman, there was no woman crueler than her in the world, she even dared to harm her own husband!"
Maybe her father kidnapped the woman home, and she forced him to do it... Since she couldn't marry out herself, she wanted to ruin someone else!
"Hey, you poison women!" a woman shouted.
Wang E was originally frightened and shrinking back, but suddenly she heard someone calling beside her. She instinctively looked up.
As a result, a bunch of wilted vegetable leaves were directly flung at her!
"Haha, I got him! It really feels good!" The stout woman laughed, crossing her arms. "These past few days, listening to the storyteller at the teahouse, the more I heard, the more I wanted to give this poisonous woman a good beating. Today, I finally got my revenge!"
The onlookers started laughing, and more and more people picked up things around them—dirt, vegetable leaves, even horse manure—and threw them at Wang E with force.
"Get out of here, you poison woman! Die in the southwest and don't come back!"
"To have someone like you in Xin'an really embarrasses us all!"
"Beat her! A troupe of actors has already rehearsed to perform outside the city, but because of this poisonous woman, we've lost all face in the entire world!"
"Such scum, what's the point of living!"
"How are you still alive Go to the 18th hell and find your father!"
Wang E was beaten and clutched her head, sobbing incessantly. She occasionally risked raising her head to search through the crowd, desperately trying to find a trace of her kin.
It's a pity that after so many days in prison, no one came to see her. How could there be a miracle at this point
She gritted her teeth in hatred. She used to call him "brother" sweetly and often mention how close their families were. Now, she doesn't remember any of it, does she
Her father had left behind 20,000 taels of silver. Even if she spent half of it, she wouldn't be sent to do hard labor and be despised by everyone!
Despair and fear drove her to madness. She glared at the crowd around her, screaming, "Get out! Why are you beating me What are you to me My uncle is Wang Bo Wei, even if I'm being sent to do hard labor, I'm still a Miss Wang! You all wait, maybe the Wang family is watching you right now, taking notes on each of you. You'll have your bad luck someday!"
Her words truly frightened the crowd.
After all, no one has a deep grudge against her. They just can't stand to see it happen. It's all for the sake of justice.
It's fine to let off some steam and have a bit of fun, but if you really cause trouble for yourself or your family because of it, then it's not worth it.
Suddenly, nothing else hit Wang E.
Wang E felt that she had suppressed everyone and became even more arrogant. She raised her head and chest and shouted, "What my father did has nothing to do with me. Whether I marry out or marry in, I have no say. The reason I don't treat my husband is so that he can't leave my side. Even if I was wrong, it's because I love him too much. What does this have to do with you"
"They have nothing to do with this!" Old Li, holding a basket, pushed her way out of the crowd and stood in front of Wang E. Her expression was as cold as glacial ice, each word carefully enunciated: "But I'm involved!"
Wang E was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Who are you, and what do you have to do with me"
Li Laotai took a deep breath, stepped forward two paces, and suddenly raised her hand, slapping her several times, back and forth, with a crisp sound.
Wang E was struck hard to the ground, stars dancing in her eyes, and her cheeks already beginning to swell.
She still struggled to get up, already pinned down by the old woman's foot.
"Wang E, open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am Li Zhensheng's mother, who in the world has more right to hit you than me!"
Who is Lizheng's mother
Wife... Wife
Wang E suddenly wilted, grabbing Li Lao Tai's leg and sobbing, "Mother-in-law, I was wrong. You hit me to vent your anger, please persuade my husband to forgive me, alright Wuu wuu, I don't want to be a slave!"
"And Cat Brother and Brother Li, they wouldn't be able to see me, they would cry! Please Mother-in-law, for their sake, save me! Woo woo, I won't do it again, I'll work like an ox or a horse to repay the Li family!"
Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, Old Lady Li reached into the basket and pulled out an egg, smashing it onto her face.
The egg burst open, emitting a foul odor that nearly made her vomit.
She still wanted to speak, but another one smashed into her!
Soon the stinky chicken egg soup engulfed her from head to toe, not a single dry spot left. It was truly foul-smelling for miles!
The bystanders were all driven back a few steps by the smoke, but they still couldn't bear to miss the excitement. They held their noses and insisted on staying put, even cheering for the old woman.
"Old Mrs. Li beat her, this poisonous woman, she has made Mr. Li suffer!"
"Yes, hit her! Hit her!"
Li Laotai smashed the rotten eggs and then slammed the basket onto Wang E's head, panting heavily from exertion. "I spent a full half month drying these just so you could taste them! You still want to enter my Li family Even if I die, I won't let you see my son or grandson again. Just dream on!"
"Woooo," Wang E finally caught her breath, coughing and crying at the same time, "If you have the ability, just kill me! I'm Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er's mother, they will definitely feel sorry for me when they find out, and avenge me!"
Then, perhaps truly missing her sons, she burst into tears again, “My sons, ah, mother misses you! You must avenge your mother!”
Lao Li gritted her teeth with rage and kicked her twice in the face, “You care about your son, but when he was harmed, did you ever think about it My son just passed his imperial examination to become a scholar, and then your family ruined him. As a widow, I have three sons to raise, how am I supposed to survive! Do you know”
"Over a decade! My eyes are about to cry themselves blind, you wretched person, you deserve to be struck by lightning and killed!"
The old woman was so angry she trembled, and then reached behind her waist to pull out a kitchen knife.
Everyone gasped in horror, thinking the old woman was going to kill someone. But before anyone could stop her, she swiftly cut off Wang E's ear and threw the knife aside along with it.
"You wretch, I spare your life today out of respect for your grandson's face. But consider this a mark! Lest you be struck by lightning and harm innocent people!"y.All the other civil and military officials hung their heads low, each one regretting a thousand times why they hadn't taken sick leave today.As previously speculated, the deaths of General Chang and...
