Chen Ming'an was the Imperial Scholar whom Princess Ronghua, Zhu Huaizhen, had set her eyes on in the Golden Imperial Hall.
However, he refused the bestowed marriage, saying, "Your Hi...
Chapter 61 Conscience
"Can having a conscience be used to make a living?" Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
She wanted the old guard Tiegu to die today, and no one could shake her decision.
"Everyone, I have read the laws of Southern Yan these days. The laws of Southern Yan stipulate that bullying a man is at most a crime of assault, and a fine of silver is sufficient, and there is no need to go to jail. That old guard Tiegu, even though he has worked hard for the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, is just a dog of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. If he is bullied, then no one will support him. Therefore, using a fine of three hundred taels of silver to leverage a reward of one thousand taels of silver is a good deal." Zhu Huaizhen raised his voice with a faint smile.
In fact, Zhu Huai really couldn't laugh.
The existence of the old guard Tiegu made it impossible for her to forget the nightmare of her previous life.
However, she had to smile, because only by smiling could she be fearless and scare others.
"Your Highness Princess Ronghua, it is too shameful to humiliate Tiegu in public. Can you try another method, such as using stones or branches?" A young man with patched clothes stood up with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"My dear, have you made enemies with Tiegu?" Zhu Huaizhen asked softly.
"Your Highness Princess Ronghua, you are very observant." The young man said with a smile.
However, Langjun said nothing.
He did make enemies with Tiegu.
When he first entered the Duke Dingguo's mansion, his martial arts skills earned him the admiration of Princess Pingyang. Seeing this, Tiegu also superficially praised him and recommended him to the old lady, saying he had a bright future. He had a younger sister who was a sickly child, and he had spent all his money to take her to see a famous doctor. So, after much deliberation, he agreed.
I never thought that when I arrived at the old lady's place, I would be subjected to such harsh oppression.
Not to mention any extra tips, he couldn't even afford ordinary wine for wounds, so he could only let the wounds fester, leaving behind shocking scars that he accidentally let his younger sister see.
After learning the whole story, the younger sister went to ask Tiegu for help.
Seeing that the younger sister was pretty, Tiegu took advantage of being drunk to defile her innocence.
The younger sister was heartbroken and committed suicide by jumping into the river.
Tiegu said that it was his younger sister who tried to seduce him but failed, and because he was too shameless, he ended up committing suicide.
Since then, he has been enduring, waiting for an opportunity to kill Tiegu, but he must escape unscathed. Because Xiaomei wrote a suicide note asking him to live a good life, Xiaomei felt that she was a burden.
"Then I will give you two thousand taels of silver, and you have to show enough ruthlessness to satisfy me." Zhu Huaizhen pondered for a moment, then smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
After hearing this, the young man burst into tears of gratitude and bowed deeply.
So, the man stripped Tiegu of his clothes, and first tortured him with stones, making him howl like a pig being slaughtered.
Zhu Huaizhen felt very refreshed listening to the howling.
"My dear, use the whip." Zhu Huaizhen glanced at the nine-section whip wrapped around his husband's waist, and suddenly remembered the suffering he had endured in his previous life. He smiled again, his grape eyes clear and bright, without any evil thoughts.
The people of Southern Yan liked to use whips, especially soft whips, which were convenient to carry with them.
The young master received the order and whipped the iron bones with a whip, which was also very enjoyable.
Immediately afterwards, two more young men, who also had grudges against Tiegu, stood up and wanted to be warriors.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen gave the banknote very readily.
Then, the iron-boned ghostly howls and wolves' cries were heard everywhere.
The old lady, Madam Chen, and Gao Yan'er all felt that it was bloody and cruel, and were scared away.
Oh no, it’s not necessarily that he was scared away, he just wanted to go and give a tip-off.
In their opinion, Princess Ronghua was vicious enough and would definitely be disliked by Chen Mingan.
