Chapter 89 You Shouldn't Touch Her
Old Mrs. Huo stared blankly at Master Li's departing back. After a while, she suddenly woke up and howled.
"My dear relatives, I'm sorry! Zhongnian is just talking nonsense in a rage! Yueliu was an innocent girl when she married in. I, an old woman, can testify to this!"
Master Li shouted, "Huo Zhongnian's nonsense is slandering the reputation of our Li family. How can a simple apology from you erase this?"
Old Mrs. Huo said anxiously, "My dear, Zhongnian will definitely come to apologize..."
Huo Zhongnian shouted in disbelief: "Mom?!"
It has come to this, is he still going to endure this great humiliation?
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Huo glared at him and lowered her voice, "You're usually said to be smart, but why are you so stupid today? If even the Li family, this big tree, is gone, what will you have left? Listen to me, go apologize to your father-in-law right now, and make sure he forgives you!"
A strange smile appeared on Huo Zhongnian's face. "Mom, you clearly know that what your son just said is true, why are you still like this?"
"Mother knows! But what's the point of saying all that now? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but since you've endured it for so long, you should just keep it to yourself! You need Master Li to help you find a new academy, otherwise you won't be able to take the imperial examination. You can't leave the Li family right now!"
Huo Zhongnian suddenly laughed, "Mom, am I the one who can't leave the Li family, or are you the one who can't leave the Li family?"
"What did you say?" Old Mrs. Huo jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on. "You heartless person, what do you mean by that?"
Huo Zhongnian said calmly: "Don't bother, I won't pass the exam."
"You're talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Huo trembled with anger. "You're going to pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official!"
"Mom, you've been saying this since I can remember, and I... I'm tired of hearing it. After what happened today, you should understand that I'll never pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in my lifetime! Mom, please stop pushing me, okay? Can't I just farm my whole life like my big brother?"
He had originally thought of a foolproof plan, which was to ask Ye Yanshun to help him pass the imperial examination and become a scholar next year.
But now Ye Yanshun has turned against him, he has no hope, and it is futile to persist.
Thinking of this, Huo Zhongnian's eyes were filled with hatred. It was all because of that evil creature! Otherwise, Ye Yanshun would not have turned against him!
Old Mrs. Huo screamed and rushed over to hit him, "Are you crazy to say this? The Huo family has supported you for all these years, how can it be for nothing? You must go to the imperial examination! If you want to go back to farming, I will break your legs! Go to the Li family and apologize!"
Huo Zhongnian sneered, "In the final analysis, you only love yourself! Your desire for wealth and glory forces me to live in unrest! Because of your desires, I have suffered countless humiliations! Mother, your son is a human being, not a tool! Now I don't want to take the imperial examinations, I just want to return to Heihe Village and be a down-to-earth farmer!"
"Do you think you can go back to Heihe Village?" The village head's face was as cold as ice. "Huo Zhongnian, you have been expelled from Heihe Village. From now on, don't even think about setting foot in the village!"
Old Mrs. Huo jumped up immediately.
Everyone thought she was going to beg for mercy again, but unexpectedly, she slapped her thigh and laughed, "Son, that's it! Heihe Village doesn't want you anymore, you have no way out! Going to your father-in-law is your only way out! Go quickly, mother is waiting for your good news!"
Everyone: "..."
The Huo family is really a bunch of lunatics.
"I won't go, even if I die." Huo Zhongnian said.
"No, you must go!" Ye Yanlan appeared out of nowhere and said excitedly, "Don't be afraid, Zhongnian! Believe me, you will pass the imperial examination next year! I've seen you in my dreams!"
Huo Zhongnian sneered, "So you had to rely on me back then, just because you dreamed that I could bring you wealth and glory?"
Ye Yanlan felt a little guilty, "No, I am sincere to you..."
Huo Zhongnian suddenly pounced on her and grabbed her neck tightly.
"Don't you like threatening me? Now you're threatening me! Because of that little evil creature you gave birth to, I've lost everything! I'm in this state today entirely because of you two! You and your daughter are the root of all this, and I'm going to kill you today!"
…
In just two cups of tea, the town was in chaos.
The county government office was completely destroyed. People were rushing to transport food like crazy. The excited voices and hurried footsteps mixed together, making this court that represented power and majesty look no different from a vegetable market.
The county magistrate lay in the corner, moaning softly.
When the refugees rushed in, they knocked him to the ground and countless people stepped on him. Fortunately, he protected his head and chest, and then took the opportunity to roll into the corner and escaped.
My body aches all over, and I'm afraid several bones are broken. Fortunately, they are not fatal injuries and I will recover after some time.
The county magistrate secretly felt lucky that he could not die, as his good days were still ahead.
It is said that being a clean magistrate for three years can earn you 100,000 silver coins.
What's more, he became an official just to make money?
Although Xianchuan County is poor, as long as you put your mind to it, you can make a lot of money.
I heard that the imperial court’s relief grain is on the way, and he will be able to make a fortune then!
Thinking of this, the county magistrate couldn't help but think of the strange appearance of grain today. Perhaps Huo Zhongnian was telling the truth, and this Xiaojiu was indeed a demon. The waters of Heihe Village were deep, and he needed to make a long-term plan...
The sound of slow and leisurely footsteps reached his ears clearly, and it seemed so different amid the chaotic noise.
The county magistrate stared at the door curiously. Soon, a middle-aged man slowly walked in from outside.
The man is tall and handsome.
He was wearing a patched cloth shirt and looked like an ordinary countryman, but he exuded an indescribable aura. The county magistrate even felt that this man looked more noble than any superior he had met before.
How is this possible? The county magistrate felt that he had been stepped on and his mind was not clear.
The man's eyes searched aimlessly, but he couldn't see anything to focus on.
It turned out to be a blind man.
"Hey! That blind man!" the county magistrate called out, "Come here and help me to the inner courtyard to rest! I'll reward you with food!"
The blind man smiled and said, "Okay."
The blind man strode forward, each step so sure and confident, without any hesitation or difficulty that a blind man would experience when walking.
This blind man is quite interesting, thought the county magistrate.
Suddenly, "click"!
There was a crisp sound from the leg bone, and the blind man stepped on his thigh bone!
"You fucking stepped on me!" The county magistrate was in so much pain that his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
He was stepped on countless times today, but why could this blind man's kicks hurt so much!
Another "click" sound!
The blind man stepped on his arm!
The county magistrate's features were distorted with pain, tears streaming down his face. "You blind bastard...what are you doing?!"
With the third kick, the blind man reached his throat accurately.
The county magistrate finally understood and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you here to kill me? Who wants to kill me?!"
"You shouldn't touch her." There was a frosty tone in the man's voice.
The county magistrate felt cold all over and couldn't help trembling.
"Who is she..."
"Crack" is the sound of a neck being broken.
The county magistrate's mouth was still in the shape of speaking, but he was already dead.
