"Keep your voice down! If he hears you, you're in for it!"
Lu Jiaojiao happened to be nearby and witnessed this scene. She cursed inwardly: Shen Qingtang, aren't you so capable? I hope Wang Hu can take you back and teach you a lesson!
As if he had heard her curse, Wang Hu's gaze suddenly swept over and landed on Shen Qingtang.
Upon seeing Shen Qingtang's stunningly beautiful appearance, Wang Hu's eyes widened instantly.
He immediately pushed the girl away from his arms and rushed towards Shen Qingtang with his servants: "There's an even prettier one over there! Grab her for me!"
Seeing Wang Hu rushing towards Shen Qingtang, Qin Wanqing and Su Lingwei immediately stepped in front of Shen Qingtang without thinking. Although they looked afraid, they still forced themselves to say, "Don't come any closer! Don't touch Qingtang!"
Wang Hu's mind was originally filled with Shen Qingtang's appearance, but after seeing the two people blocking his way, his eyes lit up again. Qin Wanqing was gentle and beautiful, and Su Lingwei was charming and lovely. They were also rare beauties.
He licked his lips, his tone becoming increasingly lewd: "Oh, I didn't expect there to be two pretty girls here! Perfect, they can come back to the manor with me, saving me the trouble of searching for them again!"
These words filled Qin Wanqing and Su Lingwei with both anger and fear. They felt as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throats, but they could only bite their lips tightly and refuse to give way even a step.
"stop!"
Shen Minglan and Shen Mingzhao quickly stepped forward, blocking the three girls. Shen Minglan's face flushed with anger. "We may be exiled prisoners, but we are still human beings! We also have human rights! What right do you have to arrest people arbitrarily?"
Wang Hu laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, clutching his stomach and his fat face jiggling: "Human rights? In this county town, what I say is human rights! Don't you know that my father is Magistrate Wang Huai'an? Even if I arrest a few exiles like you, or even kill you, no one will dare to interfere!"
He paused, his eyes turning sinister: "I just need to bribe those officials who escorted you with some silver, and have them write in the register that you 'accidentally fell into the water' or 'suddenly fell ill,' who will care? Whether you live or die then will be up to me."
"You're not allowed to bully Auntie!" Pei Nian'an clenched her little fists, rushed forward, her face flushed red, her chest heaving with anger. "I'll show you no mercy!"
Wang Hu was so enraged by being insulted by a child that he raised his hand to hit Pei Nian'an: "You little brat, how dare you interfere in my business? I'll beat you to death!"
But before his hand could fall, Pei Wuwang slowly stepped forward, his fingertips flicking slightly, and an invisible force quietly flew out.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Hu let out a heart-wrenching scream, clutching his groin with both hands.
He collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, his clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Before anyone could react, Pei Wuwang walked up to Wang Hu.
His tone was cold, but his eyes held a hint of mockery: "Oh dear, Young Master Wang, why did you suddenly collapse? Where did your 'tool of the trade' go?"
Only then did everyone realize that blood was already seeping from Wang Hu's crotch, and that his so-called "tool of the crime" had been completely cut off by something.
Along with the murder weapon.
It also disappeared without a trace.
It was clear that Pei Wuwang used his internal energy and arranged for his secret guards to take action, making the whole thing clean and efficient.
Wang Hu lay on the ground, in so much pain that he couldn't speak, only letting out mournful "hoarse" sounds. His face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with fear and despair.
Lu Jiaojiao, who was hiding behind the crowd, was so frightened by what she saw that she trembled all over.
Eyes wide open
She never expected Pei Wuwang to be so ruthless! Not only did he dare to lay a hand on the magistrate's son, but he also used such a heavy hand.
The thought of how she had previously targeted Shen Qingtang and Pei Wuwang sent a chill down her spine, and her apprehension deepened.
The surrounding people were too frightened to make a sound, but seeing Wang Hu's painful appearance, many people's eyes flashed with a hint of pleasure. This bully had committed many evil deeds in the past, and now he had finally gotten his comeuppance!
The Second Prince and Wang Huai'an were having a secret talk in the back hall of the county government office. Both of them had smug smiles on their faces, clearly plotting something.
Suddenly, a servant rushed in, his face pale, and cried out, "Master! Something terrible has happened! Young Master... Young Master has been in trouble!"
Wang Huai'an's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up: "What happened? Tell me quickly!"
"Young master... his vital parts have been cut off! He's in the street now, writhing in agony!" the servant stammered.
"What?!" Wang Huai'an was struck dumb, staggered back a few steps, and almost fell. He only had one son, Wang Hu.
If the family line ends, the Wang family will be extinct! He trembled with rage and roared, "Who? Who did this?! I'll skin him alive!"
The second prince was also stunned, repeating incredulously, "A strategic location? How could this be? Who is so bold as to touch the person I have chosen?"
He was both surprised and suspicious.
The two dared not delay and immediately followed the servants to the main street. Just as they reached the street corner, they heard Wang Hu's heart-wrenching screams. They saw him lying on the ground, his groin covered in blood, a truly gruesome sight.
Shen Qingtang stood to the side, her face full of "innocence" and "shock." She looked at Wang Huai'an and said with feigned surprise, "Magistrate Wang? What... what happened? I was fine just now, how come Young Master Wang is like this in the blink of an eye? This vital place, how could it... just disappear?"
Lu Jiaojiao was also in the crowd. When she saw Wang Huai'an arrive, she immediately squeezed forward and pointed at Shen Qingtang, saying ingratiatingly, "Magistrate Wang! It must be her! It must have been Shen Qingtang who did it! She carries bad luck, not only harming herself but also others! She must be jealous of Young Master Wang, which is why she went to such lengths to confiscate Young Master Wang's tools of the trade!"
Shen Qingtang raised an eyebrow and looked coldly at Lu Jiaojiao: "Lu Jiaojiao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You say I did it, what evidence do you have? Did you see me do it, or did you catch me?"
Lu Jiaojiao was speechless, her face flushed with anger, and she shouted, "I...I just know! I'm a lucky girl, my intuition is never wrong! It must be you, you unlucky woman, who ruined Young Master Wang!"
Madam Lu chimed in, "That's right! It must be because Shen Qingtang is so unlucky that she's dragging Young Master Wang down with her! Magistrate Wang, you must stand up for your son!"
