The old patriarch reflected deeply. He thought that the tall and strong young man was an official, but he didn't expect that this fair-skinned boy was also extraordinary.
Despite being so young, he has such a strong aura!
"Your Excellency, we haven't established any harsh punishments here. How about I extend the sentence a bit? Is that okay with you?"
Han Zeyu would not express his opinion easily, so he had to ask He Mengying about this matter.
When the villagers heard the verdict made by the elders, they could not help but point fingers at Liu and spit at her.
Liu collapsed on the ground, realizing that she had made a big mistake. She was so unlucky today. How could she be caught red-handed?
This old lady's horoscope conflicts with hers, and she specifically harms her.
Tiezhu moved to his master's side and whispered, "She's crying so miserably. Has she realized her mistake?"
Han Zeyu shook his head. "What are you thinking? She's not crying because she's truly repentant, but because she knows she'll be criticized for the rest of her life."
Tie Zhulang's heart was as hard as steel, and he didn't look away. "Master, now that you say that, I feel much more at ease. It's not that I'm bullying the weak. If word gets out that I, a seventh-rank official, am bullying ordinary people, it will greatly affect my official reputation and career!"
Han Zeyu's expression is hard to describe. When did the term "seventh-rank official" become associated with the word "dignified"?
Su Shien, who was really afraid of affecting his official career, was mixed in with the soldiers and heard most of the conversation between the two.
Neither of these two people is reliable.
Several villagers went to find the eldest brother of the He family. They asked him why he was still drinking outside after such a thing happened in his family. He was really careless.
"He's not careless. After all, he didn't know He Hua would suddenly come back. He just didn't care about his mother's life or death."
"What a sin! He said He Hua was going to be your concubine, but it doesn't look like that!"
"Of course not. Have you ever heard of a concubine being able to walk around freely? Not to mention with such a grand ceremony?"
"He Hua has returned home in glory. Do you think she can help the He family?"
"I think it's pretty bad. It's gotten to that point. Unless Boss He divorces his wife."
Several people had a heated discussion on the way and couldn't help but speed up their pace, wanting to go back to watch the show as soon as possible.
Even if the He family is doing well, they can't benefit from it.
If the He family falls, they would have done their best if they could refrain from stepping on it.
Han Zeyu and others were bored. After visiting the He family's yard, they turned to harass the accompanying soldiers.
"Your helmet is crooked. Let me straighten it for you."
Oops! It's hard to adjust from the outside. Let me try reaching inside.
The black devil teased, "Oh~ You have such nice skin, I didn't mean it."
The little white angel refuted righteously: "No, you did it on purpose. This is blatant workplace sexual harassment."
Han Zeyu's gangster nature exploded.
"Let me see the quality of this armor. Hmm? The breastplate is pretty good. The protection is really good. I can't even feel the outline."
The white angel warned, "Stop it! In broad daylight, in front of all these simple folks, are you going to act like a hooligan?"
The little devil was unconcerned. "This isn't a moral decline; it's the outpouring of true emotion, the loss of self-control, the body following the heart. To teach the impoverished masses about the seven emotions and six desires, and to stop being squeamish about sex—isn't this Lord Qingbai's great and noble ideal?"
Han Zeyu cheered for the little devil in his heart and scattered flower petals.
You are right, Lord Qingbai is such a noble person, a selfless person, and one who is above vulgarity.
Look at her husband, he looks good in whatever he wears, he is a natural clothes hanger.
He looks taller after wearing the helmet, and the height difference between them standing together is the cutest.
This height is suitable for kissing.
Su Shien couldn't bear it any longer, so he took a step back and tried his best to escape from the clutches of the devil.
This certain person is not just an ordinary big devil, he is a little sex maniac who dares to think and act.
"Stop making trouble. Look at the people over there. That old lady with white hair who needs to be supported. Is she Sister Ying's vicious grandmother?"
Han Zeyu took a look and saw that the old lady's face, which was full of wrinkles and furrows, was full of fear.
…
Liu's tears had dried up before her husband came back with sweat on his forehead.
On the way back, Boss He was scared. Why did He Hua come back?
That gang of criminals was so brutal back then. Some pretty young women would have been crippled if not killed in their hands. How come she was able to come back alive?
He Mengying wanted to take her mother away, but the old lady didn't want to burden her, so she asked her to live a good life and not to worry about her.
"If you really can't find the right person, just adopt a child and raise him by your side so you can have someone to rely on when you get old."
The more her mother cared about her, the more she wanted to take the person away.
First, she tricked her mother into going to the city with her for treatment, and then she took the person away without authorization.
This is the best punishment we can give to Liu, but Boss He will never be forgiven.
When someone held his head down and took him away, Boss He was really panicked. He didn't want to die. He had elderly parents and young children to take care of. Considering that they were blood relatives, please show mercy and let him go.
He Mengying's eyes swept over her treacherous eldest brother, her second brother who hid in the crowd and acted like a quail, and her grandmother who wished she would die outside...
Compared with this group of people, her stubborn and foolishly filial father didn't seem so hateful.
The clan leader didn't dare to interrupt. After all, it was an internal grudge within the He family, and as long as it didn't affect other people, it was fine.
He Mengying had no communication with her "blessed" grandmother throughout the whole process, but the day after they left the village, the old lady passed away with a distorted face.
How ironic that He Mengying's biological father died when she had just left the palace and was full of longing to go home to her relatives.
However, the so-called grandmother passed away the day after she met her.
I don’t know what the old lady dreamed about that night. I guess it must have been very difficult for her to endure when she was about to die.
I used to think that good people don’t live long and bad people don’t live long enough. Maybe this is the retribution for doing too many bad things!
Liu had to kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days and then cultivate the sacrificial fields for three months, hoping to set an example.
Boss He was locked up, but he hadn't violated any law, so the county magistrate had no choice but to lock him up for a few days as a warning.
Originally, He Mengying could have won the lawsuit, but Master Han, who was familiar with Article 460 of the Criminal Law, did not expect this.
In just three years, Boss He squandered all the wealth that He Mengying had worked so hard to save in the palace.
The pawnshop in town could vouch for this.
He Mengying had no way to prove that those things were not gifts but were stolen by Boss He during the chaos, so she could only suffer in silence for the time being.
