Chapter 48 Nothing happened

Agou and his gang are well-known scoundrels in Gaolian County. They may not be good at anything else, but they are better than anyone else at cheating and being ruthless. If the Zhao family wants to sue them, haha, that's not easy!

Just wait and see. This time, the Zhao family will definitely be dealt a heavy blow and their prestige will be shattered. It would be best if all three of them were jailed for three months. Without them, there are only the women in the family left. What can they do?

When they came out of prison three months later, Hulu had already married Qu Yutao and moved into the Zhao family's house with Mao Ya and Guang Tou.

The two brothers of the Gu family became more and more proud as they thought about it, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They are so cruel and ruthless. If they succeed, the Zhao family will be completely finished.

Unfortunately, they thought too well.

Before noon, Zhao Liya, her daughter, and Hu Ling returned.

Not only was he intact, but he was also talking and laughing.

The Gu family was anxious to know the news, so Hulu and the other two volunteered to wait at the village entrance. They were not waiting for Zhao Liya and the others to return, but for Gongcao to send someone.

Criminals were punished for "falsely accusing" innocent people. This matter must be reported to Yan Village. It also serves as a warning, warning the criminals in Yan Village and their descendants to be honest and law-abiding!

The three gourd brothers never dreamed that they did not wait for Yu Gongcao or good news, but instead waited for Zhao Liya and the other two.

The three brothers opened their mouths and eyes wide, stretched their necks, and screamed like a chicken with its neck pinched: "Why are you here?"

Zhao Liya sneered: "Oh, funny, if it's not us, who do you think it is?"

“.”

Hu Ling waved his fist, "Don't block the way!"

The three of them were too lazy to pay any more attention to these three idiots and went straight home.

The three gourd brothers looked at each other in bewilderment and shock.

"How, how, how, how could this happen!!"

"Yeah, how could it be like this!"

"H-what should I do?"

"Hey, what else can we do? Let's go find Brother Gu!"

“Let’s go!”

What else? Rushing up to stop the Zhao family and ask them? Although they weren't very smart, they still wouldn't do something that would get them beaten up.

After hearing this, the Gu family was all dumbfounded.

"That's impossible!"

Boss Gu felt particularly embarrassed.

In the eyes of the Gu family, Hulu and other lackeys, and the whole village, his majesty is unshakable, unquestionable, and sacred and inviolable. No one dares to disobey him. He never fails in what he does. Everyone respects and fears him, and they all tremble when his name is mentioned.

However, they suffered repeated defeats in front of the Zhao family.

This time he warned the villagers not to remind them, intending to see the Zhao family fail in their lawsuit, but he didn't expect that he would still fail.

This has happened again and again. How much dignity does he have left?

"Damn it! How on earth did they do that?!"

Everyone was speechless: I don’t know!

Mrs. Gu's eyes rolled and she slapped her thigh: "I know! They must have used money! It seems that the Zhao family is really rich."

The Gu family was stunned, thought about it, and nodded.

That's right, there is no other way to explain it.

It is true that the law has regulations, but as long as you can afford it, what can't be done?

Mrs. Gu's eyes gleamed with greed. "I heard that Zhao Xiang was a very high-ranking official in the past, and he came from the capital. It's hard to say whether he has secretly concealed a lot of wealth! Hulu, you are really useless. If you marry that girl Qu Yutao, you will have nothing to worry about in the rest of your life!"

Hulu touched his nose, feeling a little scared, but his heart was burning with excitement.

"Brother, is this the end of the matter?"

Boss Gu couldn't help but glare at him fiercely: You are useless and can't do anything for nothing!

"Wait a minute, there's no rush. It's still early. If you think you can get the upper hand over my Gu family, you're dreaming."

He was reflecting, wondering if he had been a little too impatient. He needed to think things over carefully, take it easy, because slow things down and things will eventually work out. Next time he strikes, he must hit the target with one strike.

Otherwise, he would be completely embarrassed.

There is still a long way to go, why rush?

Although Boss Gu suffered a series of setbacks, his position in the Gu family remained unshakable. Since he had said so, and others couldn't think of any good solution after much deliberation—they couldn't just rush into the Zhao family and kill them, right? So they had to give up for the time being.

At the Zhao family's house, Zhao Liya and her friends had gone into town today, so they couldn't return empty-handed. Zhao Liya bought two pig's trotters, each with a thick layer of meat. They'd make delicious braised pork elbows! She also used some of the meat in a broth made with white radish, which softened the meat and created a sweet and refreshing soup.

I also bought a pig's stomach. The sour peppers and sour beans in the jar were all ready to eat. I stir-fried the pig's stomach, which was sour, spicy, crispy and especially good with rice.

Seeing a peasant woman selling duck eggs, Zhao Liya bought all of them at once, about fifty of them. That night, she pickled thirty of them in salt water in a jar and ate them as salted duck eggs. The remaining twenty were reserved for frying.

I also bought some candies and snacks to satisfy the two children's cravings.

Harvest a lot.

The Gu family didn't expect that although Zhao Liya and her daughter were criminals, Hu Ling was a good man.

The Zhao family’s house had a title deed, and the owner’s name was Hu Ling.

Although Yancun is a place where criminals live in concentration camps, there has never been a regulation that prohibits good citizens from moving in. Because according to common sense, good citizens would avoid places where criminals live in concentration camps. Who would be so desperate as to run away and settle down there?

If someone really goes there, the government will naturally not stop them, but they will have to bear the consequences themselves.

So Hu Ling got the house deed very smoothly.

Those ruffians were caught red-handed when they invaded the homes of innocent people, and there were thorns on their bodies. Hu Ling also said that not only were thorns laid at the base of the wall in the yard, but also powder that would cause rashes was sprinkled there. When the officers checked, they found that these people had a lot of red spots on their arms and legs.

You still want to quibble?

If you keep trying to make excuses, you'll be making fun of everyone as if they were fools!

The evidence was conclusive, so after a beating, they were thrown into prison and imprisoned for three months.

Breaking into someone's house is a serious crime!

If there is no severe punishment, it may lead to a surge in such cases, chaos in public security, and instability in public sentiment, which may cause major problems.

You can commit minor thefts and robberies. If you are caught with minor offenses, you will be reprimanded and released immediately. If you are caught with more serious offenses, you will be beaten with a stick and kicked out. But trespassing into someone else's house is a different matter.

Agou and his friends were surprisingly loyal. They didn't betray the Gu brothers even after such a situation. They insisted that it was the Zhao family who built the mansion. They thought they must be rich, so they had evil intentions. They didn't expect the Zhao family to be so insidious.

Hu Ling was so angry that he almost laughed when he heard this in court!

But the case was now clear and well-organized, and Hu Ling couldn't say anything more. After all, he was an outsider living in Yan Village, and was not well-received by the government. Magistrate Yin was also too lazy to get to the bottom of the matter, so he dropped the matter.
