Chapter 64: Punishing the Evildoers
Another woman with a face full of flesh also shouted into the house, "Shameless bitch, why don't you come out? You were divorced by your previous husband's family, and without the money to accompany you, you encouraged my brother to gamble away all the family property. Fearing that the matter would be exposed, you even hired someone to beat him up. Poor brother, now he is crippled. You slut, come out! Don't try to cheat today. Come back with us and you will be my brother's slave for the rest of your life!"
The discussion in the crowd grew louder, and some people asked, "If I remember correctly, the woman who lives here is Qiaodeng. You say that, but Miss Yu seduced your son, spent her money, and then refused to marry him. You even had someone break his legs?"
One woman said in disbelief, "That's impossible. I remember Miss Yu wasn't interested in blind dates. She'd rejected many people who introduced her to men before. Chen Juezi is a well-known thug. How could Miss Yu fall for someone like him?"
When Chen Juezi heard what they said, he shouted anxiously, "How could she not be attracted to me? You have all been deceived by this whore. She just likes this kind of thing. She was divorced by her husband before, and it must be because of this. Don't be fooled by her fairy-like appearance. Who knows how wild she is at night."
After she finished speaking, the old mother beside her also cried and shouted, "She just took advantage of my son's youth and cheated him out of his money. Now she found out that my son had lost all his property in gambling for her. She was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she sent someone to call my son and hired several people to beat him up. If you don't believe me, just watch..."
She pulled Chen Juezi's legs over, which were covered with black and purple bruises, and he could no longer move.
The onlookers looked in disbelief. They never expected that Madam Qiaodeng would be such a person.
Those men, along with dozens of other strong men from the farm, tore down the entire courtyard fence like leaves swept by the wind, and threw them against the door and windows, each one saying, "Come out now, slut, we will not let you go today."
There had never been any major incidents in the town over the years, but now the talk of "seduction" and "slut" had attracted the attention of the uninformed people, who stretched their necks, and soon the place was packed with people.
An Yuan was anxiously standing aside, not knowing whether An Fu had arrived. He pushed his way through the crowd, but there were too many people and they squeezed him out several times. He could only hope that Miss Yu would not come out.
Once she gets out, she will definitely be dragged away and forced to marry. It's obvious that these people are from the same family. They are so numerous and powerful that how can a weak girl like Miss Yu fight against them? Even if she has ten mouths, she can't explain herself.
An Yuan stayed in a corner, his eyes fixed on the door, afraid that they would bang on it. If that happened, he could immediately go over to protect Miss Yu.
More and more people gathered. Just as the big men had agreed to ram the door with a tree trunk as thick as a bowl, someone in the crowd shouted angrily, "Get out of my way, you old bastard Chen Juezi! I'll skin you alive today!"
Everyone looked and saw that it was Baili Yunzhou who brought a dozen big men with him. They pushed through the crowd and stood in front of the door.
The sarcastic old lady was not afraid when she saw Baili Yunzhou. She cried even louder, "Everyone, come and see! This Baili is also the lover of this slut. I don't know how many things he did in secret. No wonder the wife of the Baili family didn't recognize this slut. So this slut blamed my son. My poor son, his leg was broken..."
Baili felt his blood boiling with anger when he heard this, and he cursed without caring about anything else, "Damn it, you old fool, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing that he was just angry, the old woman became more aggressive and called a few people to surround Baili Yunzhou. She became even more presumptuous, grabbed Baili's sleeve tightly, pointed at him and cursed, "You lover, now you don't want to admit it. I think you are in cahoots with that slut. You tricked my son into losing the family property in gambling so that you could put the money in your pocket. You, this pair of adulterers, shall not die a hapless death! Give me back my son's legs!" After that, she stepped forward and started to beat him.
Baili Yunzhou had never hit a woman before, but now he couldn't hold it in any longer and kicked the old woman away. "Bullshit! Keep your mouth shut! Miss Yu and I are innocent. You're just hoping your son's leg will be broken and he won't be able to marry. You're thinking Miss Yu's family is weak and she's divorced, so you're trying to take her away by force! You old bastard, you're so vicious!"
Just when the situation was in chaos, everyone listened to Chen's words for a while, then listened to Baili's words, and couldn't tell who was real and who was fake, when suddenly a loud sound of gongs and drums came from the crowd.
A few loud voices like loud bells cleared the way, "The governor has arrived, everyone make way!"
"The governor has arrived, everyone make way!"
The crowd finally quieted down and split into two sides. An Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked from the corner to the door, waiting with everyone's head lowered.
Chen Juezi and his family did not dare to say anything at this time. They stepped aside and knelt down. For a moment, the bustling town was silent.
Zhao Yan was dressed in official attire today, with a solemn expression and a hint of suppressed anger.
When Anfu went to find him, he could already anticipate what Chen Juezi wanted to do, so he quickly sent someone to call Xu Tongren's adopted son Gao Zhuang over.
Zhao Yan walked to the door and looked around, his eyes settling on Chen Juezi, whose leg was broken. Wang Zhubu also looked over and immediately ordered his men to surround the Chen family.
At this time, Zhao Yan calmed down and said, "I was on duty at the government office today and heard from afar that someone had abducted a woman. I wonder if this is true."
Chen Juezi's mother guessed that the official didn't understand the situation either, so she wasn't afraid to step forward and say, "Sir, this isn't robbery at all. It's clearly Yu Huatang who seduced my son. Now that he's lost his fortune in gambling and has no money left, and doesn't want to marry, she's even had his legs broken. If you don't believe me, you can just take a look..."
Chen Juezi immediately stretched out his legs and stepped forward, as if to confirm what his mother said.
The crowd whispered again. Zhao Yan took a look and asked, "Without any evidence, how can I know what you said is true?"
The old woman wasn't afraid to argue, saying, "This matter is shameful to begin with. This slut knows she's in the wrong, so she's afraid to show up. We're not unreasonable people. As long as this slut goes back with my son and lives a good life, and has a few children in the future, my family won't refuse to tolerate a divorced woman like her!"
Zhao Yan felt a surge of rage. He glared at the old woman with eyes as cold as ice, and said word by word, "Don't lie before me. Even slandering others will land you in jail. You keep saying that Miss Yu had an affair with your son, but you have no evidence, relying solely on your words. Do you really think you can turn black into white and turn death into innocence?"
At this time, Chen Juezi was not willing to be outdone and continued, "Sir, I have evidence. That night, this slut invited me over. Who knew she had several men hidden at home, one of whom was Baili Yunzhou? Sir, this slut should be thrown into the pig cage. She would be very grateful that my family accepted her!"
The others behind him immediately followed suit and shouted, "That's right, that's right."
