Chapter 22 Reporting to the authorities



This is completely unlike Da Qiao's style.

He Miaomiao listened silently and walked home with Qiao Jingjing in silence.

Until the two women were surrounded by the crowd, several people jumped out and shouted that they would tie them up and send them to Sun the Cruel.

Then, the two were tied up.

They actually delivered it to Sun Ce.

With the sound of drums and cries for justice, they attracted many people from near and far.

Actually, Sun Ce already knew what Qiao Jingjing had done before this: beat up the thieves and rescued her younger siblings.

However, the people who filed the complaint said something different: they committed violence in the street, beat innocent people, robbed property, and robbed servants.

"General Sun, we implore you to uphold justice! This shrew's behavior is heinous and has a terrible impact. We, the common people, urge you to execute her as a warning to others."

Thanks to these people, Qiao Jingjing was finally able to meet Sun Ce again after the battle at the city gate.

She was bound by a group of hypocritical people with malicious intentions. The mask on her face had long been torn off, revealing a faint red mark that had not yet healed.

The two "good citizens" who were victims have been brought to the scene. The Zhu family's victim was covered with white gauze all over, with only his eyes showing. He was lying on a stretcher and kept moaning. The Li family's victim was also covered up, with only his nostrils showing as he breathed.

"General, please look, these are the two victims. They were not only brutally beaten by this shrew, but she also robbed them... She stole a thousand catties of dried mulberries, more than ten jars of fine wine, a thousand chickens and ducks, as well as many chicken and duck eggs, and countless grains! General Sun, such a wicked woman, keeping her in the world is nothing short of a disaster!"

Those who hurl insults and those who file complaints speak with righteous indignation.

They were unaware that the owner of these items was the very shrew they were cursing.

Their faces were so unfamiliar that Qiao Jingjing didn't recognize them at all; she had never seen them before.

Surrounded by a crowd, Sun Ce was flanked by Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.

Thus, the image of judging a case and quelling public anger is established.

Who is the defendant?

"Qiao Jingjing, the eldest daughter of Qiao Xuanzhi in Peach Blossom Lane, south of the city."

"Have you ever been married?"

"Never."

"Have you discussed marriage arrangements?"

"The marriage proposal has not been successful."

"Have you ever had someone you've fallen for?"

Qiao Jingjing answered whatever Sun Ce asked. But this question... was unexpectedly beyond her scope.

Qiao Jingjing, who was originally composed and dignified, couldn't hold back any longer.

Being forced to ask about your crush in broad daylight, that's pretty ruthless.

In contrast, Sun Ce looked very serious.

It was as if the question he asked was the key to the case.

Even Sun Quan prompted Qiao Jingjing, "Have you ever made a vow of eternal love with a man?"

Qiao Jingjing understood after this hint.

"Reporting to my esteemed generals, I believe that the questions you have asked are irrelevant to this case, and I may choose not to answer them."

Even after he finished speaking, Sun Ce still looked at her intently.

That gaze carried so much meaning.

Even Sun Laosan kindly reminded him: "Did you ever make a solemn vow with a man on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year: to wash his clothes, cook for him, mend his clothes, and have his children?"

Then, Qiao Jingjing finally remembered clearly.

She was being held hostage by this Brother Sun at the time. In order to survive, she spoke recklessly and told him that she could do odd jobs, keep watch, do laundry, cook, mend clothes, draw maps, devise the Longzhong Plan, divide the world into three, seize Jingzhou, and most importantly, give birth to children.

Later, she preferred to admit that she was a witch rather than promise to have a child with this man.

This is called immediate retribution.

The three brothers surnamed Sun seized every opportunity to play tricks on her, making her make a unique and embarrassing situation during her public trial.

Qiao Jingjing's small heart was already churning with ten thousand alpacas.
