Chapter 649: Mu Fengjiao was driven out of the city
Ling Cang said irritably, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"If she really did slander Nuannuan, she should be slapped in the face as a warning to others, but she won't drown."
Ling Yun sneered. He thought Ling Cang was playing dumb just to save Mu Fengjiao's life.
"Brother, let me ask you this: this woman has slandered Nuannuan time and again. You still want to save her life, right?"
Ling Cang pondered for a moment and said, "Nuannuan said that the death penalty only takes effect when someone kills someone. This insult... is so hurtful that I can even pull out my tongue."
He paused and asked nervously, "Where's Nuannuan? Is she hurt?"
Ling Yun snorted coldly, "I asked her to go back and rest."
Ling Cang breathed a sigh of relief, "That means Nuannuan wasn't hurt, so I can only smack her in the mouth."
Ling Yun glanced at Ling Cang and asked, "Did she really talk about the criminal law of the North?"
Ling Cang took out a booklet and said, "This is what she wrote. I've memorized it and was thinking of having someone copy it and put it up on the notice board."
Ling Yun took the booklet and flipped through it, then said helplessly, "Everyone, listen to me."
"Deputy Mayor Su is sympathetic to everyone's newly stable lives, so he'll give lighter punishments unless it's a major offense."
"This woman really doesn't deserve death. At most, she should be slapped in the face."
"Just take the highest sentence and slap him until four teeth fall out."
The crowd started to discuss the matter. Although most people felt that the punishment was too light, it was the criminal law set by Su Nuan, so they still complied with it out of respect.
Ling Yun said, "Pull Mu Fengjiao out."
Ling Cang was shocked. "Who?"
Ling Yun stared at Ling Cang coldly, "Mu Fengjiao."
If Ling Cang speaks out to defend him, he will turn against him and no longer recognize him as his elder brother.
Ling Cang stared at Mu Fengjiao, his eyes filled with disappointment.
An old lady said, "A wife is the backbone of her husband. If a husband cannot protect his wife from the wind and rain, but instead brings storms to his wife, then he is better off not being her husband."
The young woman nodded, "Yes, divorce, we must divorce!"
With one person taking the lead, the others followed suit, "Divorce and give our Deputy City Lord Su back his freedom!"
As Ling Cang listened to the voices of the people, the veins on his forehead throbbed.
At this moment, he finally realized that in order to consider the overall situation, he not only hurt Su Nuan but also hurt himself.
It turns out that some things need to be done urgently, and hesitation will only make things worse.
He sighed deeply and said, "Fight!"
Mu Fengjiao widened her eyes and looked at Ling Cang in disbelief. What did he say?
He said he wanted someone to beat him? That's impossible. I must have heard it wrong. He must be saying let me go.
Ling Cang looked down at Mu Fengjiao and said coldly, "You have completely exhausted the friendship between your brother and me. From now on, we are strangers. Take care of yourself."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the city.
Although Mu Fengjiao's mouth was blocked, her throat was still able to make sounds, and she let out an unpleasant roar.
Ling Cang paused and turned to look at Mu Fengjiao.
Mu Fengjiao was delighted and hope appeared in her eyes again.
However, Ling Cang said, "After the fight, give her some silver, food, and a horse, and throw her out of the city!"
Ling Yun's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Okay, I understand."
This time, Ling Cang didn't even look at Mu Fengjiao. He turned around and strode away without looking back.
The hope in Mu Fengjiao's eyes turned into despair, and finally ignited a strong anger.
She gritted her teeth and exuded murderous intent.
Ling Yun narrowed his eyes. This woman had murderous intentions towards his elder brother.
If she even wants to kill those who help her, she will definitely attack Nuannuan.
Thinking of this, his eyes flashed and a plan emerged in his mind.
Mu Fengjiao was forced to kneel on the ground with someone pressing her shoulders down.
An old lady with palms like palm-leaf fans swung her hands left and right, hitting Mu Fengjiao's face until it looked like a pig's head.
She clicked her tongue twice. "Oh my, this guy with a red mouth and white teeth spewing shit is really thick-skinned."
"Look, I hit her so hard, my hands hurt, and her teeth haven't fallen out yet."
After saying this, someone nearby laughed.
The old lady glanced over and the man quickly shut up, but the corners of his mouth kept twitching and he couldn't control it.
Someone laughed and said, "Come on, we all know your methods. You can smash her face without losing any teeth."
"If you're determined, two slaps will complete the criminal law."
"If you ask me, you should pass this skill on. I think it's as useful as the killing sticks in the government office. It can make money."
The old lady spat, "Bah, I don't have any skills, don't talk nonsense!"
After saying that, she slapped him twice more. This time, Mu Fengjiao vomited and spat out the smelly socks and four teeth in her mouth.
Someone whispered, "This woman is doomed. The remaining teeth she has still teeth will all fall out in ten days."
"Tsk tsk, who told her to provoke our Deputy City Lord Su? She is the goddess in our hearts."
The old man next to him nodded vigorously, "That's right, if it weren't for her, we old people would have died long ago. How could we live so carefree?"
Another toothless old man grinned and said, "Isn't it true? The Sufucheng Group is our goddess."
The woman who had hit him rubbed her hands and sneered, "Did you hear that? You're not even worthy of carrying our Deputy City Lord Su's shoes, and yet you dare to slander her."
"Get out of here now! If you dare show up in the city again, don't blame us for each of us slapping you to death."
Someone shouted, "She's a murderer. Don't let her into the city, or she'll kill us all."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone quickly distanced themselves from each other like a retreating tide.
Ling Yun had a gloomy face and took out a purse and threw it in front of Mu Fengjiao, "Take the money and leave."
He looked up and saw some pulling horses passing by. He untied the horses and said, "Get out!"
Mu Fengjiao was eerily quiet. She grabbed her purse, jumped on her horse and galloped away.
The driver said darkly, "You gave the horse to someone else, what will happen to the carriage?"
Ling Yun immediately called out, "Everyone, help me get the water back."
Among the onlookers there were many strong women, who pushed the cart back into the city, chatting and laughing.
Ling Yun stood at the city gate and looked up. The big red characters on the gate shone in the sun, looking very noble.
This is the city that Su Nuan spent a lot of effort to build, and no one must be allowed to destroy it.
He walked into the city and said to the gatekeeper, "Add three more groups of guards. Everyone entering or leaving the city must show their ID cards. Any suspicious person will be arrested regardless of their appearance."
The gatekeeper immediately responded, "Yes!"
Ling Yun felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something big was going to happen.
He was thinking about Su Nuan, so he walked quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, he went to the inner courtyard and then to Nuanxiang Garden.
He stood at the door and called out, "Sister-in-law? Bai Tong? Who's there?"
Bai Tong pushed the door open and came out and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't Nuannuan treating someone's injuries at the city gate?"
Ling Yun's heart sank, and he asked hurriedly, "She didn't come back?"
The uneasiness was instantly magnified a thousand times, making him feel very sad and start to sweat. The panic in his heart even affected the beating of his heart.
