The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 612: No Martial Ethics
He quietly replaced the lamp oil with water, which meant that Zhuang Qingning had already discovered that something was wrong with him, so he made preparations early.
"When did you know that something was wrong with me?" Ge Wu gritted his teeth.
He had been planning this for a long time, from the time he first entered the workshop, to the time when his work was highly appreciated, and even to the time when he was active and sweet-spoken and was liked by many people. Ge Wu felt that he had done every step very well and would never reveal any flaws.
"You really acted like one, you worked very efficiently, and you spoke honestly, like a man who worked hard to earn money to marry a wife." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "But you spoke too well, which made people feel something was wrong."
They are all ordinary people who come out to work. It is normal for them to be poor at speaking. However, when they speak so flawlessly, it will make people suspicious.
Ge Wu's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and argued, "But so many people are working, why are you talking to me alone?"
"When I passed by you, I smelled the smell of lamp oil on you." Zhuang Qingning said, "And the smell was very strong. It was probably because you accidentally got some on yourself when you were checking the lamp oil stored in the workshop."
"In this weaving workshop, there is cotton everywhere, spun yarn, woven cloth, and even the spinning wheel and loom are made of wood. These things are most afraid of fire, and lamp oil is something that can burn, so it naturally caught my attention."
Zhuang Qingning raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, why do you want to destroy this weaving workshop? Is it because you are not satisfied with the wages, or is it because someone is behind it?"
"Today, I was discovered by a little girl like you. I have fallen into a trap and I have to admit defeat."
As for wanting to know more, that's just too much.
Ge Wu sneered at Zhuang Qingning's arrogance, as he had to catch him by himself in the middle of the night. He curled his lips and walked out.
Zhuang Qingning also sneered, "You want to leave like this? This is too good for you."
After saying that, Zhuang Qingning reached out to stop him.
"I come when I want, and I leave when I want..."
Before he could even utter the word "go", Ge Wu flew a long distance like a sandbag, and only stopped when he hit a tung tree in the yard.
The pain in my chest was sudden and heart-wrenching. Judging from the appearance, my ribs must have been broken.
Ge Wuqiang endured the severe pain and struggled to get up from the ground. He looked at Zhuang Qingning in disbelief as he slowly retracted his legs, and fear gradually appeared on his face.
Zhuang Qingning, who usually looks like a lady and can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands, is actually a martial artist. Not only is she extremely strong, but she is also very cruel.
Ge Wu felt that his fists and kicks were nothing compared to Zhuang Qingning. Fighting her head-on would be a dead end. Seeing that the door of the workshop was wide open, he immediately came up with an idea.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you quickly deal with this bitch?" Ge Wu yelled at Zhuang Qingning, looking extremely angry.
Judging from the situation, it seems that he is not the only one here, but also has an accomplice.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Qingning looked up and looked around.
Ge Wu took advantage of Zhuang Qingning's distraction, endured the pain, and ran out the door.
As a result, just as he ran to the door, a fishing net fell from the sky, and then several people rushed out, tied Ge Wu tightly, and moved him back to the yard.
"You, you, you..." Ge Wu gasped in anger, "You are using your numbers to bully the few!"
No moral ethics!
"This bastard!" The guy who tied up Ge Wu couldn't stand it anymore and punched him in the face. "You are such a mean person. Do you still expect others to talk to you about morality?"
"For someone like you, I deserve to beat you half to death right now, and you're still talking nonsense here."
Several guys shook their fists in indignation.
Ge Wu didn't dare to say anything at this moment. He just looked at Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yutian in front of him with red eyes, "Anyway, I won't say anything!"
"Hey, you're still trying to be tough at this point, you're really asking for trouble!" A clerk said to Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yutian, "Boss, don't waste your time talking to this guy, send him to the government first, send him to the prison, and see if the jailers can pry open his mouth!"
"Why bother?" Zhuang Qingning said lightly, "Just make a cut on your arm and sprinkle some honey on it."
"Other people are sprinkling salt on the wound to make it hurt, but how come you are sprinkling sugar on it?" Zhuang Yutian asked in confusion.
"It's still quite hot right now, and there are ants everywhere. Sprinkle some honey on the wound and throw it on the ground. The ants will definitely come here when they smell the scent, and then..."
Zhuang Qingning didn't finish her words, but just looked at Ge Wu with a smile.
Ge Wu looked at the smile which was full of viciousness, and then thought about the ants crawling all over his body, the ants climbing and biting wantonly in the bloody wounds. He couldn't help but shudder just thinking about it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
And those guys now felt that it was particularly cool tonight.
"This is considered private punishment. You must be held accountable!" Ge Wu shouted.
"How could it be?" Zhuang Qingning sneered, "The wound was because you wanted to hurt someone when we found you, and we fought to the death, so you left it there. As for the honey, it was originally placed in the yard, waiting to be put into the mung bean soup for everyone tomorrow. As for throwing it on the ground, that's even easier to say. If you didn't throw it on the ground, would you have left it hanging in the air?"
"Besides, the purpose of arson was just to burn down the weaving workshop, but now it is autumn with strong winds and dry weather. If the fire starts, it will not only destroy the weaving workshop, but also the houses next to it."
"Do you think that if someone like you goes to the county government, will Lord Xu believe what you say, or will he believe us?"
Ge Wu's face suddenly turned pale.
"Tell me, if you tell the truth, we will hand you over to the county government and let Lord Xu deal with you. But if you don't want to tell us, don't blame us for being rude."
"Whether you want to live a life worse than death or be freed early depends on whether you think your own life is more important or protecting the people behind you is more important."
Judging from what Ge Wu said and showed, Ge Wu did not have any hatred towards the workshop. It was very likely that someone instructed him to do this. Finding out who was the mastermind behind this was the most important thing at the moment.
"You won't say it?" Seeing that Ge Wu didn't seem to want to speak, the waiter shouted, "It's okay if you don't say it. It will be a little painful later, just bear with it."
After saying that, he went to look for a knife.
"Say, I say..."
