"General, I was born a human being, and I have the right to be born a human being."
"The matters of who one should discuss marriage with, who one should marry, and who one should have children with are complicated and have nothing to do with today's events, so there's no need to discuss them here. But I must admit that it was I who injured Li and Zhu."
Qiao Jingjing began by recounting the day she was fertilizing the farmyard in the mulberry orchard. She described how her mulberry orchard, fishpond, and paddy fields produced 3,000 catties of dried mulberries, dozens of jars of fine wine, thousands of chickens and ducks, tens of thousands of chicken and duck eggs, and countless grains. She also described how Li and Zhu schemed against these harvests and how they took advantage of the chaos to rob the Qiao family of their people and property. She told everyone one by one.
The person who filed the complaint was dumbfounded.
This fierce woman is so eloquent!
Does she still have the skill to farm?
"General Sun, please do not believe this shrew's one-sided story. She crippled someone and can still fabricate such a reason; it is truly despicable. I implore you, General, to take immediate action to quell public anger."
The accuser continued to press, forcing Sun Ce to make a decision in front of everyone.
But who is Sun Ce?
Even before he was known as the Little Conqueror, his regal bearing was already famous far and wide. Even Yuan Shu later remarked, "If I had a son like Sun Lang, what would I regret even in death?"
Could Sun Ce be forced to play tricks on by these mere clowns?
He had Lü Meng remove the bandages binding Li and Zhu, revealing two faces that were swollen and unrecognizable.
"Between you two, which one is surnamed Zhu, and which one is surnamed Li?"
"Um!"
The two law-abiding citizens, who were unable to speak, reacted accordingly.
"You, and you, have swindled the people out of their money and broken into their homes to rob women. Your crimes deserve to be punished by death."
Sun Ce drew his sword.
Li and Zhu were frozen in place, watching the gleaming sword swing toward them. Their dilated pupils were filled with fear and disbelief, and they had no time to cry out for justice.
With two quick swishes, the two heads rolled to the ground.
“Those who file lawsuits do not distinguish right from wrong, do not sympathize with the victims, and instead accuse them of wrongdoing.”
Sun Ce, holding his bloodthirsty sword, looked at the crowd.
"Come on, arrest them, give them eighty lashes first, then parade them through the streets as a warning."
A line of burly men behind Sun Ce responded and quickly captured the villains who had been so enthusiastically complaining.
A moment later, the person who had complained was beaten and howled in pain.
The audience was speechless.
Everyone has learned something new!
There was a reason why Sun Ce was privately called "Sun the Cruel" by these people after only a few days in Lujiang City.
He's nothing like Lu Kang, who's gentle and mild-mannered; he only uses his fists to decide everything.
There are also lethal weapons.
The onlookers, harboring malicious intentions, watched the commotion for half a day, witnessing Sun Ce behead two people and several complainants being beaten bloody with military sticks. They found it all rather boring.
They all dispersed in a little while.
Qiao Jingjing and He Miaomiao were finally untied.
Even He Miaomiao felt grateful this time and went to Sun Ce to kowtow in thanks.
"General Xie, you have upheld justice! Our Qiao family is deeply grateful for your great kindness and virtue."
But Qiao Jingjing just stood there, her expression looking awkward no matter how you looked at it.
Sun Yi and Sun Quan said privately, "Our elder brother has a unique eye! Isn't this woman a bit too hot to handle?"
Hearing the two brothers muttering to themselves, Qiao Jingjing knew it wasn't good news. She went over to them and asked, "Can my sister-in-law and I leave now?"
Want to leave?
Of course not.
Sun Quan smiled and explained, "Miss Qiao, please be patient. We'll leave once your family arrives."
Do family members need to come?
Qiao Jingjing just stared at Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was too embarrassed to be stared at by her, and very tactfully invited Qiao Jingjing and He Miaomiao into the residence where Sun Ce worked.
During that period, people came and went.
For some reason, only Sun Ce and Qiao Jingjing were left in the study.
Qiao Jingjing didn't know why she had been brought to this study.
No one invited Qiao Jingjing to sit down, no one poured her tea, and of course, no one asked her to stand.
Sun Ce, well, he just put on airs, reviewing bamboo slips and writing memorials.
His focused demeanor made that handsome guy incredibly attractive.
Qiao Jingjing made no attempt to even glance at it.
She wasn't very familiar with the seal characters on those bamboo slips, so it was pointless for her to look at them.
Qiao Jingjing listened quietly to the ticking of time and watched the spring sun shine in the dappled light and shadow.
Such an atmosphere, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Even Zhang Zhao, who was always causing trouble, had long been tricked away by the brothers Sun Quan and Sun Yi and hadn't come to bother them at all.
After a while, Qiao Jingjing finally figured it out: Could this be an opportunity for her and Brother Sun to get along better?
well.
I ran into a pair of brothers who were incredibly helpful; they were truly cunning.
Qiao Jingjing had already devised a strategy; as long as Brother Sun didn't speak, she was absolutely certain she could maintain her composure.
Isn't it just waiting for family members to come and pick us up?
She refused to believe that her father, Qiao Er, Qiao San, and Manman could all be kept in the dark. Her fierce and decisive actions, including being publicly tried by General Sun, had become common knowledge throughout Lujiang City.
Her family members are definitely on their way.
She just needed to hold on for a little while, just a short while, until her father came to pick her up, and then she could happily go home. After all, she had already reclaimed the fruits of her labor—the chickens, ducks, grain, and furniture—with her own strong hands.
Speaking of Li and Zhu, their fates were indeed quite tragic.
In our modern civilized society, the crime committed by this person must be classified.
It's not something you can just kill whenever you want.
