Chapter 100: Evil Will Be Repaid
Seeing the eldest princess looking at Hu Xiner, Luo Yan's heart tightened.
This eldest princess is easy to fool, but Hu Xiner actually has a grudge against her family!
She couldn't help but plead, "Xin'er, it was all my fault as your elder sister for what happened before. I was possessed by evil spirits and had a wicked heart. I was the one who corrupted Luo Rong. He's a good boy. As long as you discipline him well, he won't bother you again!"
Hu Xin'er is not a saint, but she will not implicate others casually.
She pondered for a moment and slowly analyzed, "The Luo family's power is deeply intertwined with the county magistrate's, and the mastermind behind the scenes has always been demanding. Even if the Luo family didn't exist, there would still be the Zhang and Li families."
"What should we do then?" The eldest princess was kind-hearted this time, but she couldn't stay in this place forever.
Hu Xin'er came up with a plan: "We can have Luo Yan be punished in public and swear before everyone that she will never harm anyone again. She must also compensate the family who lost the child with money and food, and from then on, she must do her best to find the abducted child and do good deeds for the rest of her life!"
The princess thought this made perfect sense: "Okay, let's do it!"
Just when I thought the matter was over, the eldest princess suddenly changed the subject and looked at Hu Ronger.
Hu Ronger shrank back: "I... I can also swear that I will never hurt anyone again!"
The eldest princess questioned, "Luo Yan still has some family affection, but you sold your own sister to a fool. Do you still have any humanity?"
Hu Ronger quickly imitated Luo Yan and pretended to cry: "I... I didn't mean it. My family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat. It just so happened that the landlord sent some money at this time..."
"And you sold your own sister?" The eldest princess didn't buy it.
Luo Yan quickly said, "She clearly came looking for us on her own! Her Hu family isn't the poorest in the village. When she first said she wanted to marry her sister to our family, I even gave her a large sum of money so that she could raise Hu Xin'er well and marry her off!"
In fact, she also looked down on Hu Ronger in her heart.
Hu Ronger glanced at Luo Yan resentfully and continued crying, "I was the one who came here in the first place, but this isn't something I can decide on my own! It was my parents who were the ones who sold Hu Xiner out. They are the real culprits!"
Who knew that after these words came out, the eldest princess's expression became even more angry: "How dare you put the blame on your parents?"
She was so angry that she rolled her eyes. "How can there be such an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous person like you in this world? You don't respect your parents, and you don't get along with your sisters. They say appearance is determined by the heart. No wonder you're so ugly and can't get married!"
"It's unfair. It was really my parents who asked me to do it!" Hu Ronger was so flustered that she could only kowtow quickly.
She wanted to insist that her parents were the culprit in an attempt to escape the disaster.
Many times in the past, she would just throw a tantrum and grit her teeth to get through it.
But this time it seems like he encountered a tough opponent.
The princess ordered the Shadow Guards to tie her up. "Come here, tie her up and throw her into the woodshed! No food or water is allowed to be brought to her. She will be punished together with Luo Yan, and she will be given 20 more strokes of the cane than Luo Yan!"
Hu Ronger's eyes widened in fear, and she began to howl like a ghost: "It's unfair, I really am innocent! Princess! Goddess! Please forgive me..."
The eldest princess was annoyed by the noise and had her mouth stuffed.
Hu Ronger couldn't speak, she could only whimper and kick the people around her.
But the Shadow Guards were all professionally trained, and they rudely put her hands behind her back and pressed them.
Hu Ronger almost fainted from the pain and dared not struggle anymore. Her face was filled with fear and she was like a quail, not daring to move.
Ever since the eldest princess appeared, Hu Ronger has only been beaten.
Hu Xiner looked at her with mixed feelings. It was Hu Ronger, who could only kowtow and beg for mercy in front of the eldest princess, who forced the original owner to death and forced her to leave Shuangxi Village.
She couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, evil will be punished by evil."
"Who do you say is the bad guy?" The eldest princess had sharp ears and turned her head immediately.
Hu Xin'er smiled broadly: "Aren't these two considered bad guys?"
In fact, the princess was not too evil, she was kind-hearted. It was just that in a feudal dynasty, being in a high position, she naturally looked down on the people below her.
At the same time, she also realized more deeply that if she was not strong enough, she would always be bullied.
Only by becoming strong can you protect yourself and your loved ones.
The eldest princess yawned and said, "So, let's take them over there to be punished now?"
After she said that, she glanced at the sky. It was pitch black now. Who would get up to watch someone being punished?
So he changed his tone: "Lock up Luo Yan and Hu Rong'er first, and assign someone to guard them here. It's getting late today, so take them out for punishment tomorrow!"
She felt that she had handled the matter very carefully and could not help but look around with a raised face, waiting for praise.
"Princess, you are wise!" Xiaolan revealed a starry-eyed expression at the right moment. "This is a very appropriate way to handle this matter. From now on, the people within a hundred miles will be forever grateful to you!"
"Yeah, yeah." Hu Xiner agreed, which made Erdong give her an unhappy look.
"Do you have any opinion?" The eldest princess was in a good mood and stood on tiptoe to pull Erdong's ear.
"I dare not." Erdong said that his heart was no longer affected at all, even like a pool of stagnant water.
The next day, Luo Yan and Hu Ronger were taken to the vegetable market and punished in public.
The Shadow Guards got a simple prison cart from somewhere and just tied the two of them up and put them on a cart.
Two horses were pulling the procession in front, beating gongs and drums as they moved forward. They set off before dawn, attracting everyone's attention.
Last night, after the princess and the others went back to sleep, they left the Shadow Guards behind to interrogate Luo Yan.
Luo Yan honestly confessed all the families she had abducted and sold, and she also took out an account book.
This was originally a backup plan she had left to prevent herself from being murdered, but it turned out to be very effective when she confessed her crime.
The prison van passed through all the villages where there were abducted children, and the people followed it spontaneously, throwing eggs, vegetable leaves, and even picking up stones from the roadside to throw at it.
In order to prevent them from being crushed to death before arriving, the Shadow Guards had to send a few more people to maintain order.
In this way, we finally arrived at Caishikou before sunset.
The Shadow Guard brought them to the stage expressionlessly and started beating them with a stick.
The princess asked someone to take the Luo family's money and food to the family who lost the child.
But they all angrily threw silver and food at Luo Yan and Hu Ronger, knowing that no amount of money could bring back their children!
