Xiao Yunying walked up to him and asked, "Tell me, who is it?"
The officer next to him slapped him on the head: "The young lady is asking you a question, speak up."
The man still didn't dare reveal who he was, only repeatedly saying, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me."
Xiao Yunying said, "If you don't talk, I'll have someone cut out your tongue so you can never speak again."
The man looked up in alarm and saw that the girl's gaze was as cold as a knife.
He didn't think the girl was bluffing him; his intuition told him that she was capable of anything.
His heart tightened, and he pointed at the man kneeling in the middle, saying, "It's him, it's Ma Lao Er. He's the one who bullied the girl. It's not my fault, I didn't touch her..."
The man kneeling in the middle straightened up when he heard someone betray him and shouted, "Hey you bastard, when we were dividing the silver you kept calling me Brother Ma, now that things have gotten out of hand you're calling me Ma Lao Er..."
Xiao Yunying snapped, "Shut up!"
She walked up to the man: "Did you bully the girl inside?"
Seeing that he had been implicated, the man decided to throw caution to the wind and knelt down, saying indifferently, "So what if it's me? I didn't kidnap her. At least she hasn't been touched by anyone else. If all else fails, I'll just marry her."
The current law punishes such cases severely, but not fatally; at most, the offender will spend more than ten years in prison.
He also has an uncle who is the head of the prison guards. With a little more money, he can get out after serving a shorter period of time.
Besides, this is no small matter; any woman with a conscience would not publicize it.
If this were to get out, the woman would suffer a loss. In some villages and families that value their reputation highly, she might even be drowned to prove her innocence.
Some families, fearing the loss of face or even death if word got out, would simply marry their daughter off to this man to silence gossip.
He only agreed to take on the job after hearing that the girl's family was very wealthy.
He figured that even if he got caught, he could settle it privately and take her as a concubine, which wouldn't be a loss. Otherwise, if things got out of hand, it would be bad for the woman's side.
Who knew this girl had a stubborn personality? Knowing what he was planning to do, she wanted to kill herself by banging her head against a wall. Luckily, he reacted quickly and grabbed her.
Only then did Ma realize that even if he succeeded, she wouldn't agree to marry him, so he "generously" shared her with others.
Unexpectedly, before the second person could succeed, the officials found them.
Ma Lao Er was still calculating in his heart that he had lost out in this matter, and that he would ask that kid for more money to compensate him later.
Suddenly I felt a darkness above my head, as if something was blocking the sunlight.
Xiao Yunying kicked Ma Lao Er in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
Ma Lao Er lay on the ground, clutching his aching chest, and cursed. This little wench was quite strong; it hurt him terribly.
Before anyone could react, Xiao Yunying raised her foot again and stomped hard on Ma Lao Er's groin.
Feeling the strange sensation of flesh exploding beneath her feet, Xiao Yunying suppressed her nausea and shoved her foot away before withdrawing it.
Her movements were swift and ruthless; before anyone could react, she had already taken two steps back, maintaining a safe distance from Ma Lao Er.
"Since you can't control your own filth, I'll help you get rid of it."
Aside from letting out a scream at the beginning, Ma Lao Er has been completely still since.
He clutched his groin, his eyes rolled back, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat, and his breathing became much lighter, looking half-dead but not completely unconscious.
The people around her then realized what had happened and looked at Xiao Yunying with slightly frightened eyes.
Xiao Yunying didn't care what others thought of her; she only wanted to avenge her people.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
"Who broke my coachman's leg?"
The four people kneeling on the ground all lowered their heads and dared not speak, trying their best to shrink themselves down and minimize their presence.
“Miss Xiao…”
An official wanted to say something to stop Xiao Yunying's behavior, but saw Chen Yuancheng standing behind her signaling with his eyes not to say anything.
The officer had no choice but to shut his mouth and step aside.
Anyway, none of these people are good people, and with Young Master Chen backing them up, he won't have to take responsibility if anything goes wrong, so there's no need to worry.
No one answered. Xiao Yunying went to the person on the far left again and said, "Tell me, who broke my coachman's leg?"
The man was timid to begin with, and after what had just happened, he was trembling all over. He pointed at the person on the far right and said, "It was him, he hit me with a stick."
The person who was pointed out saw Xiao Yunying walking towards him and tried to get up to fight back, but was kicked to the ground by Ling Qi.
Ling Qi was a man who had practiced martial arts since childhood, so his kick was much harder than Xiao Yunying's.
The man lay on the ground unable to get up, so Xiao Yunying went over to check his legs.
Thinking she couldn't break his leg bone with her strength, she stomped hard on his ankle.
The sound of bones dislocating was clearly audible to everyone.
The man was curled up on the ground screaming loudly. Xiao Yunying didn't look at him anymore, walked back to the man on the far left and asked, "Who injured my coachman's head?"
The man shuddered whenever he heard Xiao Yunying's voice; why did she always ask him the same question?
"say!"
The man trembled and whispered nervously, "It's...it's me."
After saying that, he mustered his courage and looked up at Xiao Yunying, only to meet her icy gaze. He hurriedly begged for mercy loudly:
"I didn't mean to, miss. It was so chaotic back then. I was afraid he would run away, so I pushed him in my haste. But he lost his balance and hit the back of his head against the wall. Please forgive me, miss."
The person kneeling next to him nervously swallowed, trying to move aside to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
But to his right was a man whose manhood had been trampled and whose fate was still unknown. He shuddered and moved his knees back a little.
Xiao Yunying glanced at the corner of the courtyard wall, and Ling Qi, who was beside her, picked up a stone that had fallen from the collapsed wall and handed it to her.
Xiao Yunying looked at the stone in her hand. It wasn't too big, and it didn't have any sharp protrusions. It was rather round, and even if she put all her strength into it, she couldn't kill anyone. It was obviously carefully selected.
She approached, holding the stone. The man backed away, trying to stand up and run away, but was pulled back down by two officers.
He kept begging for mercy: "Girl, please spare me, I can't die! I have an old mother to support, if I die my mother won't be able to live either."
Xiao Yunying didn't respond to a word, and directly swung the stone and smashed it into the back of the man's head.
Another scream rang out, and the officers on both sides released him, letting the man lie on the ground clutching his head.
No one noticed that in the woodshed, Zheng Yunwan, who had been staring blankly, gradually regained her senses amidst the screams, buried her head in her arms, and silently shed tears.
