Chapter 145
This is purely self-consolation.
Shen Jiao didn't believe that he could be fine: "But this food is not to your taste? How about I ask them to make something else and send it over?"
"Don't bother, I just don't want to eat. Take these away from me."
Xue Shun frowned and refused to eat a single bite. He looked at the food as if it were something disgusting.
Shen Jiao was afraid that he would eat and then vomit, so she had to send it away and ask someone to take it away.
This made Xue Shun breathe much more smoothly. He closed his eyes and rested for a while, then said softly, "Shen Jiao, bring in some of the ones you haven't seen yet. I'm too lazy to move."
"Okay," Shen Jiao responded, then thought for a moment and said, "How about you just rest here, Master? I'll read it to you, and then you can review it?"
"...You can review it for me and just read it to me."
Xue Shun moved his body to make room for Shen Jiao and asked her to sit over.
Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending, Shen Jiao plucked up the courage to move closer. As soon as she sat down, he hugged her around the waist and pulled her inside.
He didn't stop until Shen Jiao sat on him obediently.
"Sir, isn't this uncomfortable?"
Shen Jiao was sitting quite comfortably, with a cushion behind her, but Xue Shun must be a little tired in this position.
The person who was just being pretentious, now didn't care anymore and said in a cold voice: "I am happy to do it. Just read yours. Don't bother me."
"Yes..." Shen Jiao dragged out the tone and squeezed him hard.
Xue Shun frowned, without opening his eyes, and groped around with his hands, confirming that there was enough space for her to sit before patting her lightly: "Have some mercy, I'm sick."
"Then shall I sit aside?"
"Why don't you go sit on the edge of the sky? What, I have thorns on my body, and I will prick you if I stay next to you?"
Xue Shun didn't hear Shen Jiao's retort. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes curved with smile. Shen Jiao covered half of her face, but couldn't hide her smile.
Even though he knew she was doing it on purpose, Xue Shun couldn't help but smile along with her. His heavy mood also eased a lot. He pretended to be calm and said:
"Stop messing around, read quickly, there are so many more."
Xue Shun didn't know why a town had so many things to deal with, but he still listened patiently.
What? The Wang family stole the Li family’s dog, and the Liu family stole the Wang family’s chicken.
Among the trivial matters, there were several major events such as revenge, murder, and the Li family kidnapping the Liu family's child.
If the hall master deals with these things every day, it would be really boring.
Under Shen Jiao's gentle whispers, Xue Shun was so sleepy that he fell asleep soon after.
Shen Jiao thought for a moment between waking him up and then wasting his voice, and quickly finishing the work and seeing his reaction, and decisively chose the latter.
He picked up the pen and wrote a line of words under the matter of Ji Gou Wa:
Are you all just good-for-nothings? You don't know what to do with something like this? First, arrest the trafficker and return the child. Then, arrest the two thieves. We'll investigate the entire situation before we judge their crimes. If the trafficker is truly a trafficker, he should be beheaded and thrown into the streets as a warning to others. A heavier sentence can be imposed as appropriate, but there's no need to ask further questions.
I opened another book and found the dungeon was full.
The solution that the leaders discussed was to release the petty thieves who stole chickens and dogs.
Shen Jiao - Sure, we'll keep them in your home until they finish their sentences.
Another one: because the neighbor's house was always noisy and he refused to repent despite repeated warnings, he threw feces at the neighbor in anger, which triggered a fight with many people, slightly injuring three people, seriously injuring one person, and involving five innocent passers-by (one of whom was beaten, three people were nauseated and unconscious, and one person was trampled after being nauseated and unconscious).
Shen Jiao almost missed it at first glance, and almost mistook throwing feces at the neighbor for throwing feces at the neighbor's house.
Honestly, although neither is good, the latter one might still have room for improvement...
What happened next was even more outrageous. The person in charge had already arrested the troublemakers and those who had started the fight. The injured had also been sent to the clinic and questioned in detail. The neighbors all said that this family was indeed making constant noise because they made a living by forging iron tools and were very capable, often working all night long.
The people in charge have restricted the man's daily working hours, asked the man who threw feces to apologize, and asked the two families to compensate the innocent people who were injured. Everyone was reasonable and did not cause any major disputes.
It was originally a good thing, but not long after they returned, trouble broke out again. This time, the one who threw the feces felt that he had suffered a loss and asked the one who was thrown the feces to return him a bucket of feces. Of course, the one who was thrown the feces was not happy. During the argument, the one who was thrown the feces threw the bucket of feces at the one who had thrown the feces earlier, and the two families started fighting again...
Shen Jiao: Ah this...
She glanced at Xue Shun who was sleeping soundly, and actually felt a little envious of him. It would be so nice to sleep, because when he slept he wouldn't have to look at such disgusting things.
She watched in a daze. The people in charge all thought that the punishment should be heavier this time so that they would remember it.
Shen Jiao: Yes, first collect the manure from both families, and let them carry it themselves to irrigate the fields of those innocent passers-by!
The next one, oh, this one is much fresher.
The flowers planted by the river last year have bloomed this year. People like them very much and have gone to play with them. They have trampled and dug up a lot of them. Should we replant them?
The people in charge meant that of course they had to! Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to be manipulated into that state.
Shenjiao - plant it, plant a little, find someone to watch over it, and put up a sign to prevent people from digging it up. If anyone damages it again, there will be money for replanting.
In the next book, there was a filial son in the town. His mother died early and he was raised by his father alone. Because he was afraid that his father would feel uncomfortable facing his daughter-in-law after getting married, he delayed getting married until he was in his forties at the advice of his father. As his family had some savings, he married a beautiful widow in her twenties. They had been married for more than a year and were living in harmony. Three days ago, the filial son was so angry that his wife talked back to his father that he beat her up, causing her to miscarry and two deaths.
The officials in charge thought that this man was very filial, that his crime had its reasons, and that he had an elderly father in his seventies who needed his support, so they could give him a lighter sentence.
Shen Jiao: What are you talking about? One corpse, two lives... Just behead him. If he is not dead, let him go back to support his father.
Shen Jiao patted his chest and sighed: "I am still too kind."
Xue Shun asked her dazedly, "What?"
Shen Jiao: "I said I'm kind."
Xue Shun:?
"Sir, go to sleep."
In response to her breathing which had evened out.
Shen Jiao tilted her head to look at him, unable to tell what was true or false.
The boss opened the next book unwillingly. This one was interesting. Someone had seen a god.
A three-year-old child in Yufin Village fell into the water. A fellow villager risked his life to save him, but he was washed away by the water. The villagers searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him, so they thought he was dead and built a cenotaph for him. But not long ago, this person returned home alive and well. Not only was he unharmed, he looked several years younger, and his leg that had been lame for more than ten years was healed. He claimed that he had seen gods, visited fairyland, and drank a glass of fine wine. After he sobered up, he was hundreds of miles away, and several months had passed. He pawned the wine glass and hired a carriage to return home.
The leaders all wanted to know where the gods and the wine were, and wanted him to lead the way to see them.
Shen Jiao: Bring back the wine glasses as well.
She thought about it, erased the line and put it aside. Well, let's talk about it later.
