Li Dazui's husband is a butcher who slaughters pigs and sells meat, but he is a pushover and usually doesn't dare to utter a word because Li Dazui has him under his thumb.
I don't know where he got the courage today, but he actually dared to say he wanted to slap Li Dazui. Maybe he's been bullied for too long and wants to take this opportunity to vent his anger!
Zhang Xiaoquan looked at him coldly and snorted disdainfully.
“She just slandered the city lord and insulted Miss Luo. Now go and beg Miss Luo. If she is willing to forgive her, I can make an exception…”
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiwan looked at him, both amused and exasperated.
Is this Constable Zhang trying to vent her anger, or is he trying to make her offend someone?
Could she suggest sending Li Dazui to jail? Wouldn't that make the neighbors even more suspicious that she was using her position for personal revenge?
Seeing this, Li Dazui's man quickly turned to look at her.
"Zhiwan, although your Auntie Big Mouth has a sharp tongue, I, Uncle Li, have been quite good to you. Do you remember when you were little and craved meat, I gave you some of the pork from my family for free? Do you remember?"
His attempt to get closer to her left Luo Zhiwan feeling both amused and exasperated.
But it really happened. It must have been when she was six or seven years old. She went to his house to buy meat and saw him pick up a piece of fatty meat to throw on the ground to feed the dog. She said she ate fatty meat, so Uncle Li gave her that piece of fatty meat. That was the only time. I really didn't expect him to remember it so clearly.
It's ridiculous that he's bringing this up now to plead for leniency.
However, she still cleared her throat and looked at Xie Jiaxun.
“Young City Lord, Constable Zhang, I’m used to being insulted, so I don’t think this is an insult to me. But the City Lord, he holds a high position and is the highest-ranking official in Phoenix City. It’s no small matter if someone insults him. I dare not make a decision on how to punish the person who insulted the City Lord. Let the Young City Lord and Constable Zhang decide!”
As soon as she said that, Li Dazui knew that Luo Zhiwan was deliberately not going to speak up for her.
Old Mrs. Luo slowly walked to her side and angrily whispered a reminder in her ear.
"Can't you say a few nice words? We're neighbors, how am I supposed to face people after this?"
She retorted without holding back.
"Whether you see her or not is none of my business. Besides, the young city lord is here. If she insults the city lord, what good will it do if I speak up for her?"
"you……"
Old Mrs. Luo, enraged, banged her cane on the ground a few times. Seeing this, Luo Tianhe coldly came over and pulled her away.
"Mother, go back inside."
Seeing the large number of officials standing there, Old Lady Luo pursed her lips, not daring to curse them, and turned away angrily.
Xie Jiaxun already knew that it was this Li Dazui who had slandered Miss Luo when the government officials came to Liulin Lane to investigate her.
Now that he has this opportunity, he must avenge the girl.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked sharply at Li Dazui.
“You insulted my father in the street. If he finds out, he won’t let you get away with it. But he’s not here today, so I’ll do it for him. Now, have your man slap you a hundred times, each time loudly, and I’ll let you go.”
Upon hearing this, Li Dazui was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, her buttocks trembling as she tried to scoot back. Zhang Xiaoquan, however, simply blocked her path with his sword.
"Since you don't want to, then go to jail. Guards..."
"No...no..."
Li Dazui quickly stopped him, then looked at Uncle Li.
Go ahead and hit me!
With trembling hands, Uncle Li mustered all his strength and slapped her across the face.
Li Dazui had never been treated like this before. Reflexively, she immediately raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
"You slut, can't you be a little gentler? Are you trying to push your luck?"
Seeing that Li Dazui was still unconvinced, Zhang Xiaoquan frowned and turned to look at Xie Jiaxun.
"Young City Lord, she's a complete scoundrel. Just lock her up in jail and let the City Lord punish her!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jiaxun nodded in agreement.
"Um……"
Seeing several officials approach at Zhang Xiaoquan's signal, Li Dazui panicked.
"Sir, I was wrong. I only retaliated by accident. I was wrong. I will never retaliate again."
But everyone could see that she was used to being domineering; if someone hit her once, she would hit them ten times in return.
Zhang Xiaoquan immediately grinned and gave a soft snort.
"Fine, I'll give you one last chance. If you don't take all one hundred slaps, you'll be going to jail."
After saying that, he looked at Uncle Li again.
"One hundred slaps, not one less, and each one must be loud. I'm counting them here. If one is missing, she'll be in jail. Do you understand?"
Uncle Li's face was flushed red from the slap from Li Dazui, and he nodded hastily.
"Don't worry, sir, I understand, I understand."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth, looked at Li Xiaozui, and said cautiously:
"Pillar's mother, please don't blame me, I did this to save you!"
Li Dazui stared at him with wide eyes, leaned closer, and nodded repeatedly.
"Go ahead and hit me, hit me hard, I'm thick-skinned, I'm not afraid of pain."
"Smack!"
Before she could finish speaking, Uncle Li mustered all his strength and slapped her across the face. Li Dazui, restless, tried to retaliate, but she glanced at the sword in Zhang Xiaoquan's hand and quickly closed her eyes, waiting for the second slap.
Seeing that she didn't retaliate this time, Uncle Li became bolder and continued to hit her, each blow echoing. The people present gasped and whispered that Uncle Li was taking this opportunity to get revenge for the bullying he had suffered at the hands of Li Dazui.
