Chapter 229: My daughter-in-law is about to be snatched away
Before Old Man Su could speak, Old Man Tian knelt on the ground and said, "My Lord, County Magistrate, I believe that this matter has nothing to do with this kind-hearted man's family!"
Old Man Tian said this, pointing at Xiao Tangbao.
"I have never seen this kind-hearted man and his family before. My horse could not have been killed by them..."
"Before my horse fell ill, I wanted to sell it for twelve taels of silver, but I couldn't sell it..."
"This kindhearted man has a kind heart. It's fitting that God has mercy on him and has allowed him to meet a kindhearted man who can help those in need. Only then did he discover that his horse had been stabbed with a poisonous needle..."
Although Mr. Tian's words were a little confusing, his expression of gratitude was not fake, and every word he said was sincere.
After hearing what Old Man Tian said, the people around nodded.
There is no way. Old Man Tian is the person involved, and what he said makes sense, so people can't help but believe him.
Besides, the twelve taels of silver are there.
No one would do such a wicked thing and then spend a high price to buy the horse back, right?
It has to be said that the twelve taels of silver are ironclad evidence proving the Su family's innocence.
Old man Su suddenly sighed in his heart, it turned out to be right to listen to his little girl.
Not to mention anything else, if you pay less money, you won’t be able to pick the seeds so clearly.
Yang Dunzi looked at Jin Shanren and said loudly with a gloating look, "Jin Shanren, no, I should call you a fake good man! If you really want to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, why didn't you buy that sick cow just now?"
Yang Dunzi said, then turned to look at Xiao Tangbao, nodded and bowed, and said: "Isn't it because of this little good man who is like a living Bodhisattva, who spent ten taels of silver to buy a dying old yellow cow? This is a true act of kindness! Although he was deceived, he is really kind-hearted..."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Could you please stop bringing this up?
County Magistrate Zheng's eyes lit up.
It turns out that Fu Ya can also be deceived?
"Ahem! Shut up!" County Magistrate Zheng coughed twice, reinforcing his authority. He ordered, "Come here, search these two men for any poison needles that could harm humans, ahem, animals?"
County Magistrate Zheng nodded at Yang Dunzi and Mr. Jin Shanren with his chin.
Of course, this "person who came" was Su Laoer.
Su Lao Er was also not vague and went straight to Mr. Jin Shanren.
This old guy actually dared to bite their family, damn it!
Mr. Jin Shanren's face changed drastically, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
He did have a poison needle hidden on his body.
In order to be prepared at any time and strike when you see the target.
There was no need to search. Just by looking at Mr. Jin's expression, the people around him knew what was going on.
I'm afraid this was really done by Mr. Jin.
Sure enough, Su Laoer quickly found a small box from Mr. Jin Shanren's arms.
There were more than a dozen iron needles in the box, which were the same poison needles that Su Xiaoliu sucked out from Dahong's body.
The evidence was conclusive, and Jin Shanren looked as pale as death.
"You black-hearted villain! You used a few taels of silver to buy my cousin's cow, and it turns out it was all your fault. I will beat you to death on behalf of my cousin..."
"Yes! This person is so vicious. I don't know how many animals he has harmed..."
"More than that! Who doesn't sell livestock because they need money? What he did is not only harming the livestock, but also harming countless people..."
"People like this should be beaten to death!"
"Yes! Beat him..."
For a time, the crowd was outraged.
People picked up stones on the ground and threw them at Mr. Jin.
Some people even used the whips in their hands to whip Mr. Jin Shanren.
As for rotten eggs and the like, people are reluctant to give them up and don’t have them.
Su Laoer quickly moved aside.
The county magistrate hadn't said anything about stopping him. He was just happy to see this villain get beaten.
If it weren't for his inconvenient status, he might have wanted to take action himself.
"Mr. Jin, you have come to this day!"
Yang Dunzi stood up and kicked Mr. Jin Shanren.
This hypocritical old man often mocks him by relying on his status. Today he must vent his anger!
Mr. Jin Shanren was beaten so hard that he held his head and howled. He was then kicked by Yang Dunzi and rolled on the ground.
Then, he pointed at Yang Dunzi and howled, "You're not a good person either! Last time at the market, you saw me putting needles in a horse, but you didn't point it out. Instead, you just waited for me to take advantage of it. Maybe you even wanted to use this to blackmail me..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yang Dunzi shouted guiltily.
This was indeed his idea.
Regardless of whether he could buy the sick horse or not, he would use it to threaten Mr. Jin and get a share of the profits.
However, all his plans were disrupted by a magnet picked up by Xiao Tangbao.
After all, County Magistrate Zheng had been in officialdom for many years, so he immediately understood Yang Dunzi's little trick when he was reminded by Mr. Jin Shan.
Then, he shouted angrily, "Knowing the truth and not reporting it is also a crime! Come! Take them back together and give them thirty lashes of the cane!"
Yang Dunzi, “…”
His legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
Thirty lashes of the cane, and that's half the cost of his life?
Fortunately, there were also constables in Fengwei Town, and they rushed over after hearing the news.
So, after finding out what kind of medicine Jin Shanren had applied on the iron needle and how to detoxify it, Jin Shanren and Yang Dunzi were taken away amid the shouting and cursing of the crowd.
"I, the humble commoner, thank you, Lord Qingtian!"
Old Man Tian knelt on the ground and kowtowed to County Magistrate Zheng in gratitude.
When the people around heard this, they also praised County Magistrate Zheng as an honest and upright official.
County Magistrate Zheng felt so relieved.
After all, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow, and who doesn't like to hear good words?
County Magistrate Zheng had gained a good reputation and couldn't help but look at the Su family.
You see, he knew that as long as he met the Su family, good things would happen.
Look, he has gained another good reputation, hasn’t he?
However, when he thought of the reason for his visit, County Magistrate Zheng's face turned bitter again.
How should he tell the Su family later?
Fu Ya, the daughter-in-law he had set his eyes on a few years ago is about to be snatched away by someone else!
Woo woo... County Magistrate Zheng began to cry in his heart.
Old Man Tian thanked County Magistrate Zheng and then went to thank the Su family.
If it weren't for the Su family, his Dahong would have been sold to the culprit at a low price for nothing.
"My dear brother, I am Tian Baozhu from Baicao Village. Thank you for your kindness today. I cannot thank you enough. If you need me in the future, just send someone to Baicao Village to pass on a message..."
After saying this, Old Man Tian went to look at "Dahong," whom he treated like a son.
"Dahong, you must be obedient from now on, Dad..."
“Wheeze…”
Before Old Man Tian could finish his words, Dahong barked a few times, snorted, and stood up with a push of his front legs.
Then he shook off the dirt on his body, dug the ground with his front legs, and kicked the ground with his hind legs, looking full of energy.
Old Man Tian, “…”
How does Dahong look like?
As Old Man Tian looked at her in disbelief, Dahong rubbed his arm.
Then, he walked to Xiao Tangbao with a "da da da" sound, lowered his head, and rubbed against Xiao Tangbao in a flattering manner.
"Dahong, be good." Little Tangbao patted Dahong and said in a baby voice, "I'll take you to meet a new friend later. Her name is Honghong. She's taller than you and will be your big brother from now on..."
Dahong, “Wheeze…”
He dug the ground, looking ready to go and recognize his elder brother.
Old Man Tian, “…”
Suddenly I felt a little sad and felt abandoned by my "son".
