Chapter 37 The Grace of Giving Birth to a Child is Greater than Heaven

Xiao Ning glanced at him sideways, "Are you anxious?"

Manager Zhao thought there was a chance and quickly said, "Yes, our young master is still waiting."

Xiao Ning sneered: "Then let him wait, a dead man is in a hurry to have a wedding night!"

"you!"

"What do you mean, you want to help the Lin family pay back the debt?"

“…”

Manager Zhao was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

Lin Wu covered his chest and cried out in surprise, "What money? My family doesn't owe you any money!"

Wang Cuihua: “…”

Because the Zhao family was there, she didn't tell the head of the family in detail, and planned to tell him after today's matters were settled. Who knew that this man would actually follow her home.

It must be the dead girl who pointed out the way.

Wang Cuihua glared at Lin Sanniang fiercely again.

Lin Sanniang met her gaze and turned her head away expressionlessly, making Wang Cuihua feel like she had punched cotton.

Even more angry!

Wang Cuihua took a breath and whispered to Lin Wu, "The third girl scared his horse, and he asked me to pay him a hundred taels. Where can I get the money? I left that damn girl behind to pay off the debt, but I didn't expect him to chase me..."

"You!" Lin Wu said angrily, "Stupid woman!"

Wang Cuihua shrank her neck.

Lin Wu looked at Xiao Ning, then looked past her and at the horse with shiny black hair behind her.

The horse snorted and wagged its tail.

From time to time, it lets out a happy neigh.

How does this look like a shock?

It's clearly a scam against their family!

He pointed at the horse and shouted, "Your horse is fine! Why are you so frightened? You're also asking my family to pay a hundred taels in compensation! This is clearly extortion!"

Xiao Ning whipped Lin Wu in the face with his whip, "Why are you yelling at me?"

"you……"

Xiao Ning glanced at her and Wang Cuihua immediately shut up.

Xiao Ning paced forward, walked up to Lin Wu, leaned over and said in a low voice: "I said the horse was frightened, then the horse was frightened. If you dare to argue with me again, I will kill you."

Xiao Ning really wanted to kill this kind of scum with a knife.

But some things cannot be ended by killing someone.

Outside Shengjing City, at the feet of the emperor, these people dared to buy and sell children at will, decide life and death, and even arrange ghost marriages...

And no one in the village tried to stop them or report to the police.

It can be seen that their disregard for human life has reached an outrageous level.

This is not just their problem.

Or is it the court's failure to educate people...

We should take this opportunity to have the government punish severely and educate the people.

Lin Wu met Xiao Ning's eyes full of murderous intent and was almost scared to death.

This person really wants to kill him...

"Oh! Manager Zhao, why are you still here? I'm going to miss the auspicious time! Madam urged me to come and see..."

Someone ran in from the village entrance, saw Manager Zhao, and immediately shouted.

Manager Zhao made up his mind and said to Xiao Ning, "You have seen it too. My family is waiting anxiously. That hundred taels..."

"If you are not in a hurry, how about we wait until we are settled and then bring the silver to your house?"

Right now, we can only appease this person first, and focus on the important matter.

As for the silver? Oh, when I'm done with this, I'll definitely teach this guy a lesson!

Xiao Ning: "Nothing."

Manager Zhao said sullenly, "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!"

This made Xiao Ning laugh. She raised her hand towards Manager Zhao and made an invitation. "Please go ahead. I've never had to drink a penalty drink in my life. I really want to try it."

Manager Zhao: “…”

Manager Zhao gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Ning fiercely, but his words were directed to the people watching the fun nearby.

"Fellow villagers, if anyone can drag this guy out of the way, I'll reward you handsomely once I'm done with this!"

Hearing this, there was a rustling sound around.

"The Zhao family's generous reward, I want to go and fight!"

"But this young man is very agile. He fought so fiercely just now. We're afraid..."

"If one person can't do it, then with so many of us, can't we do it too?"

"We've all contributed, so when the thank-you gift comes, we can just split it equally."

Just as the people around were ready to rush towards Xiao Ning, and the scene was in chaos, someone suddenly shouted: "The government officials are coming!"

The cry was like a sudden thunder.

Those who were about to step forward and tear Xiao Ning apart instantly scattered like frightened birds and beasts.

In this dynasty, the people had a natural fear of the government.

After the people around dispersed, only the people from the Zhao Mansion and Xiao Ning were left standing there in a stalemate.

Lin Wu and his wife also ran with the crowd.

The yamen runners quickly surrounded them holding water and fire sticks, and Jingzhao Yin Zhang Qingyuan, dressed in official uniform, followed closely behind.

Although the Zhao family lives outside Shengjing City, they have been able to operate for many years and have accumulated such a fortune, so they must have some connections in Shengjing City.

Manager Zhao had followed his master to Jingzhao Prefecture to deal with several financial disputes, and naturally had met the Jingzhao Yin.

Therefore, upon seeing him, he immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said politely with a smile: "Your Excellency, you have come at the right time. This boy has prevented my family from getting married and injured my family members. Please, Your Excellency, take charge of this matter."

Zhang Qingyuan looked in the direction that Manager Zhao pointed, and saw Xiao Ning holding a horsewhip with a dandy look on his face.

Zhang Qingyuan: “…”

Zhang Qingyuan stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Ning, "Prince Consort Xiao, what did you send to pass on the message?"

When Manager Zhao heard Zhang Qingyuan's name, his heart sank.

Is this young man actually the emperor's consort?

Then he...

Manager Zhao felt that he was doomed.

He even dared to order people to attack the emperor's son-in-law, although in the end the people were knocked down by the son-in-law.

Manager Zhao was frightened and looked at Xiao Ning, wondering how he could get the prince consort to spare his life.

At the same time, he hated Lin Wu in his heart.

If it weren't for the trouble caused by this unlucky thing, would he be able to face the prince consort!

Xiao Ning didn't pay any attention to Manager Zhao's reaction.

She nodded towards Zhang Qingyuan as a greeting, "Yes, Lord Zhang, your rule...is not going well. Previously, there were people in Shengjing who forcibly abducted women and hired killers to kill them. Now, outside Shengjing, there are people who are secretly buying and selling girls and even arranging ghost marriages."

"Does this count as taking human life lightly?"

Zhang Qingyuan: “…”

Zhang Qingyuan glanced around, pulled Xiao Ning aside, and explained to him in a low voice: "Prince Consort Xiao, you haven't carefully read the laws of our Dayong, have you?"

Xiao Ning: “…”

She had indeed never read the laws of Dayong.

I've never seen the original owner, this playboy, before.

It seems that she will have to find some books related to law and study them later.

But right now...

Xiao Ning frowned, "Could it be that the law stipulates that people can be bought and sold at will, taking human lives lightly?"

Zhang Qingyuan said: "...There is no law that allows the free buying and selling of human beings and the disregard of human life, but..."

Zhang Qingyuan sighed: "The grace of parents in giving birth to a child is greater than heaven. Not to mention marrying off their daughter in a ghost marriage, even if parents kill their child, they won't impose a sentence."

"When times are tough, there are countless cases of people exchanging their children for food or selling their wives and children."

Xiao Ning was just shocked.

The end of the world is difficult, and there are no cases of parents killing their children. Few people abandon their children to reduce the burden, and more people sacrifice themselves for their children...

So Xiao Ning couldn't understand the attitude of parents towards their children in this era.

It was as if that was not the flesh and blood they had expected, but their insignificant possession.

Especially girls.

The law does not protect them.
