If Hua Hua Shao's words prove that what Qiao Er Gun and the other man said is true, none of the three of them are good at making pancakes.
After gagging Hua Hua Shao again, the Zhao family went inside.
They also dragged Qiao Ergun and his companion into the mess.
Zhao Qianci stroked his beard.
"Considering that you two still have some conscience, this old man will not send you to the yamen."
However, these three people are the ones who absolutely must be delivered. Therefore, their statements will need to be changed.
Qiao Ergun and Lai Pi San never expected this stroke of genius.
Because of the curfew, the matter of sending the three lecherous thieves to the yamen had to be postponed until after dawn.
Hua Hua Shao and his two companions were left in the yard and fed mosquitoes for most of the night.
Although Qiao Ergun and Lai Pi San were treated slightly better, it wasn't much better. They were thrown into the woodshed and made to squat for half the night.
When the Zhao family ate breakfast that morning, they rewarded each of them with a bowl of porridge and two meat buns.
When they saw the food, the two men wanted to rub their eyes. Was this for real? The prisoners were actually eating so well.
Looking at the two silly birds, Zhao Qingshan had no patience left.
"Don't want to eat? That's perfect, you can save yourself the trouble." He said, and started to take the food away.
"No, no, no, young master, let's eat, let's eat. I've never seen such a good breakfast before."
Lai Pi San, grinning mischievously, snatched the large bowl that Zhao Qingshan was about to take away.
He quickly grabbed his eldest son and squatted down in the yard to eat.
"Boss, I must say, this place's breakfast is really delicious. Brother, is this a meat bun?"
Lai Pi San ate the steamed buns with great relish, as if he had been hit by a gold ingot.
Qiao Ergun looked at the breakfast, feeling a mix of emotions.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the breakfast that was on the ground and started eating.
After breakfast, the three Zhao brothers, Zhao Qianci and Zhao Changgeng, and their group of four...
They threw the three young men, including Hua Hua Shao, into the carriage, and took the Qiao brothers, along with them, to the prefectural governor's mansion.
The fact that a scholar could not kneel before an official shows that he was not a proper scholar.
Zhao Qianci walked ahead with a bold stride, followed by his three brothers, each carrying one of them as if they were chicks.
Qiao Ergun and Lai Pi San followed behind, looking somewhat like bodyguards.
The two appeared calm, but inside they were in a panic.
Putting aside the matter of meeting with the officials, the way the Zhao brothers carried the man showed that they were quite strong.
They are now secretly relieved that the two brothers are not lustful monsters, otherwise, how could they have ended up well?
They witnessed firsthand the Zhao brothers breaking the legs of the three young men, including Hua Hua Shao, just before they left the house; it was horrifying.
I've never seen anyone break someone's leg and then remain expressionless, as if it were nothing more than drinking a glass of water.
When Prefect Hongda Hai learned that the three people standing below were members of the Huang family, he was quite surprised.
Although he had never met any members of the Zhao family, he knew all about them.
Hong Da Hai was furious to hear that a lecherous thief had broken into the house and intended to commit acts of debauchery against the women in the household.
The three young men, now fully awake, naturally wanted to offer some excuses.
"Lord Hong, I have been wronged!"
It was clearly this family who, seeing that my family was incredibly wealthy, wanted to set me up with a honey trap.
Otherwise, why would they spread the news that there were women in their family who were prostitutes?
Why would I go to his house?
As a result, once I got inside, they knocked me down. They even broke the legs of the three of us.
"My lord, you must do me justice!"
Hua Hua Shao used all her skills in playing the victim.
Hong Dahai considered himself a good official and naturally wouldn't listen to just anyone, so he turned his attention to Zhao Qianci and the others.
Zhao Qianci remained calm throughout.
"Does Scholar Zhao have anything to say?" Hong Dahai asked.
Zhao Qianci stepped forward.
"Your Excellency, my Zhao family has always been known for its integrity and uprightness. How could I not know when my family started engaging in honey traps?"
To say that the women in my family work as prostitutes is an insult to the Zhao family, and especially to the women of my family. The students demand a thorough investigation.
My wife was personally praised by the Emperor.
The imperial edict is now enshrined in the ancestral hall in my hometown. My granddaughter once entered the palace and received rewards and honors from the emperor and empress.
How did he become such a despicable person in the mouth of this lecherous thief?
It is clear that this lecherous scoundrel is trying to escape punishment by fabricating false accusations.
As for the three people breaking into the house, we have witnesses."
Hua Hua Shao always relied on his family's wealth, and also because his father's fifth concubine was the cousin of the younger brother's wife of the advisor's brother-in-law.
They publicly claimed that their family had connections with the prefect.
He had always been a tyrant in the village, always doing things like forcibly taking women or taking a fancy to other people's young wives.
Because they were rich, most families were appeased.
Those who couldn't be settled were eventually appeased through a combination of threats and bribes, emboldened by money.
So over the years, Hua Hua Shao has developed an arrogant and overbearing attitude.
His once invincible status was instantly crushed in court.
Especially when Zhao Qianci said that his family had an imperial edict enshrined and that his granddaughter had been to the palace, his calves started to tremble.
They were absolutely terrified; most of the sperm that had been raging in the past few years were scared to death at this moment.
The remaining little bit was used to keep him from fainting.
He was afraid that he would faint and never wake up again.
Hong Dahai was somewhat surprised that there were witnesses. "Where are the witnesses?"
Qiao Ergun and Lai Pi San, who had been following behind the Zhao family father and son, knelt down with a thud.
"Your Excellency, this humble subject kowtows to Your Excellency."
As Qiao Ergun and his companion knelt down, the Zhao family father and son made way for the two men behind them.
Hong Dahai always thought that the people following behind the Zhao family father and son were the Zhao family's grandchildren, after all, the Zhao family had 10 scholars.
Upon seeing the two kneeling figures, he realized he had misunderstood.
"Who is in the hall?"
Qiao Ergun spoke first.
"Your Honor, I am Qiao Erkun, and this is my childhood friend, Lai Xiaoshan."
Last night I stayed at Lai Xiaoshan's house. I drank too much water and had to pee in the middle of the night.
When I got up and went outside to relieve myself, I saw several dark figures acting suspiciously.
It was later discovered that these figures had climbed onto the wall of the small courtyard where Zhao Xiucai lived.
Because the Zhao family ordered food from Meiwuzhai the day before yesterday, the neighbors noticed and spread rumors that the Zhao family consisted of only two women, a grandmother and her granddaughter.
The young woman had a bad feeling; a woman's reputation is of paramount importance.
So he called Lai Xiaoshan and they went over to see what those people were up to.
We climbed up the wall using the ladder they had prepared. We found that the three of them had already broken in and moved in.
In a moment of desperation, and having no weapon in hand, he simply removed the door bolt.
Once inside, they took down the three of them.
Since there were no ropes, they tore off the clothes of the three of them to tie them up like this.
After tying the three of them up, Lai Xiaoshan and I went back the way we came.
He had barely jumped off the wall when he was caught by the Zhao family elders.
I heard this kid shout with my own ears, "Little lady, I'm here. Let my little brother have some fun too!"
