Magistrate Tu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Wang Buer, you two smashed each other's shops, that's fine, but you flouted the law in court, openly assaulted others, and even threatened them!"
He looked at the yamen runners and said, "Come here, give him twenty lashes of the cane as a warning to others! Also, if I hear that you are causing trouble for your colleagues without any reason again, you will be sent to prison!"
Wang Buer was frightened and cried out for justice, but he was met with the clubs of the yamen runners.
The people around were grinning in dismay.
"Hiss... these twenty strokes of the cane will probably mean I'll have to stay in bed for a month!"
"He deserves it. He asked for it!"
"He's really asking for trouble. When Master Wang was around, he could have restrained himself a bit, but now he's so arrogant. This Fengwei Ju has to be closed down completely!"
"Tsk tsk... The prefect is really awesome! This troublemaker must be eliminated!"
"In my opinion, the fire at his house must be a punishment from heaven! It's really satisfying!"
Wang Buer's wails mixed with the people's discussions were heard everywhere.
Magistrate Tu sat leisurely on the chair, complaining in his heart: What a fool! He should not miss the opportunity to establish his authority.
A moment later, Wang Buer fainted.
Prefect Tu looked at Master Jin and said in a cold tone, "He was the one who provoked me this time, but you also smashed up other people's shops. Considering this is your first offense, I will forgive you this time. If you do it again, you will be punished with a beating!"
Master Jin bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, sir! I will abide by the law!"
Wang Buer never expected that he would ruin Fengweiju because of a momentary anger and become a laughing stock in the entire Nanzhou.
He lay on the bed and cried bitterly, "I will find Zhao Zehai even if I have to dig three feet deep into the ground!"
The servant was in a dilemma, but finally he gritted his teeth and persuaded: "Master, why don't you bury the old man first?"
This has been left here for three or four days. The master died miserably. Will this ghost turn into a vicious one and come to take his life?
"Where's the madam? Let her handle it!" Wang Buer felt like his butt was about to explode.
The servant was slightly startled and retreated.
Little did he know that his wife Zhenzhu was having a secret meeting with a man.
She lay weakly on the man's legs and complained softly: "Brother Biao, when can we be together openly? I'm so scared of you sneaking around all day!"
The man pinched her chin and pecked her softly, "You little devil, it's almost time... When Wang Buer sells Fengweiju, we can be together openly!"
Pearl sat up straight instantly, "You want to take over Fengweiju?"
The man put his hand into her clothes, and she couldn't help but scream: "What are you doing? It's broad daylight... I'm asking you a question!"
She complained but her hand unconsciously rested on the man's neck.
"Yes, we originally wanted to take over Zui Xiang Lou, but it's a tough nut to crack. Fengwei Ju is also a century-old restaurant. In the future, our Tianxiang Lou will be the only one in this city, hahahaha..."
"Have you thought about it a long time ago? But I have to say, that place has the best location!"
The man put his arm around her slender waist and said, "Wang Buer's brain would never have thought that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. You have been wronged all these years!"
Zhenzhu smiled sweetly, "I don't feel wronged, but you must not forget your oath!"
A flash of mockery flashed across the man's eyes, and he turned over and pressed her under him, "You little devil, you seduce people's souls. Today, let me treat you well!"
"Um...no, in broad daylight..."
"What are you afraid of? No one will hear you even if you scream at the top of your lungs..."
…………
Wang Buer, lying motionless on the bed, had no idea that there was a vast grassland above his head.
"You...our house is in such a mess right now, and you still have the mind to go shopping?"
He was furious as he looked at the lady in front of him who was dressed so gorgeously, thinking that she had gone out shopping and spending money again.
Pearl rolled her eyes. "Master is still talking about me. Today, when I went out, people pointed at me and I wanted to find a hole to crawl into!"
Wang Buer's hands trembled: "Everyone is laughing at me, and you are laughing at me too?"
"Hmph... Master, you should think about the future of Fengweiju! Not only is there no business in the capital, but there's no business in other counties either. If this continues, we probably won't even be able to pay our workers!"
"What?" Wang Buer was so excited that he pulled the wound and it hurt.
"Master, don't blame me for not reminding you. It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to handle Dad's funeral and rely on Dad's old connections to expand this shop!"
Wang Buer was furious when he heard this. "Bitch...are you secretly keeping a man? Can't you pay him? I used to give you a lot of money every month. Where did you spend it all?"
When Zhenzhu heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she wished she could strangle him to death right then and there.
"Master, the fire was so big that day that I had a hard time escaping, and all those banknotes were burned! Do you think I'm a spendthrift?"
"From now on, don't eat those bird's nests and lotus seeds anymore!"
Pearl stood up suddenly, looking incredulous. "How can this be possible? How can I recover without eating this?"
Wang Buer suddenly felt that she was useless. Apart from her charming figure and good looks, she was not a worry at all.
But Pearl's next words made him extremely furious.
"Oh... by the way, Master, I forgot to tell you that I sold the old house!"
"What? Who... who allowed you to do this?"
Zhenzhu pursed her lips, not afraid at all. "Master, now our family is living in these two houses. Don't you feel suffocated? Besides, Concubine Xue is pregnant again. We can't treat her badly, right..."
Wang Buer blurted out, "She gave birth to three daughters, what's the point?"
Pearl's eyes welled up with tears. "Master, are you blaming me?"
"I've worked hard for my family for so many years. Even though I haven't had any children, I've done my best! Why don't you give me a letter of divorce and I'll leave!"
"Wow, wow, wow... I can't live like this. My father-in-law never said a word about me being unfilial when he was alive, and now I'm being despised.
I was wondering why you suddenly stopped letting me take those supplements. It turns out you've been disgusted with me for a long time, wuwuwu..."
Wang Buer's head was throbbing from the noise, "Get out... Get out of here... I'm not even dead yet, and you're already crying... Get out..."
Pearl suddenly stopped crying, glared at him viciously, flicked her handkerchief, and walked away without a trace of nostalgia.
The servant stamped his feet and said, "Oh... Master, why are you arguing with the Young Madam at this time? We still have to ask the Young Madam for the money for the medical treatment!"
Wang Buer cursed angrily, "Get out...get out of here..."
It was extremely miserable on this side and extremely embarrassing on the other side.
