"Thank you, Pavilion Chief Jiang! Thank you, Pavilion Chief Jiang! Waaah!" The woman hugged the wolf pelt she had lost and found tightly and burst into tears.
"Folks! Whose wolf pelts have been taken? Come and get them!"
Hearing Jiang Ming say this, the villagers hesitated at first and dared not step forward.
Actually, they weren't afraid of anything else, but rather of causing trouble for Jiang Ming.
"Don't worry! The sky won't fall. Your Excellency, listen to me!"
Lord Jiang always keeps his word. Upon hearing this, the villagers all stepped forward and took back the wolf pelts that had been stolen from them!
“Listen up, the wolf pelts from our Chenjia Village are priced at 100 taels each! We’re selling them to that bastard Dong Shan! I’ll vouch for you!” Jiang Ming shouted.
"Sir, 100 taels, how much is that?"
"Yes! 100 taels of silver can buy so much land!"
"Marrying a young, unmarried woman wouldn't cost that much..."
......
The villagers whispered among themselves, discussing the matter, and some of them could hardly believe it.
Their chatter reminded Jiang Ming, who yelled, "Liang the Drunkard, where are you?"
"Lord Jiang, I'm here. What are your orders?" Liang the Drunkard came running over eagerly.
"Hmm! Do you want to get married?"
"I want to! I dream about it!"
"Alright!" Jiang Ming nodded. "I'm giving you a task: castrate all those dozen or so bastards. Remember! Don't kill them, just castrate them!"
"Huh? You castrated them all? This...?" Liang the Drunkard looked troubled, feeling a chill in his crotch.
Liang, the drunkard, never found a wife in his life. Besides being ugly, short, and fat, there was another reason: his job was bad.
Their family has a long tradition of gelding donkeys.
Donkeys are stubborn animals; they can be quite disobedient and refuse to be castrated.
Moreover, donkey meat tastes better after it has been castrated!
In Dukang County, people have many superstitious beliefs. They think that if someone castrates a donkey, he will cut off other people's descendants, and he himself will also be childless, or his children will die young, or he will be born as ugly as Liang the Drunkard and unable to find a wife!
"Tsk! Look at you, don't you want a wife anymore? Don't worry, I'll set you up, I guarantee you'll marry a beautiful wife!"
"No, what I mean is, this unauthorized castration, this...this..." Liang the Drunkard said, somewhat frightened.
"In Chenjia Village, I'm the one in charge! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
Jiang Ming patted Liang the Drunkard on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't you want to be pounding the earth like a rock tonight? You've eaten so much wolf meat..."
"Fine! Damn it! I'll castrate them!" Liang the Drunkard said through gritted teeth.
"Jiang Ming! You son of a bitch! You dare touch me!"
"Jiang Ming! You're asking for it! Young Master Dong will never let you get away with this!"
"You son of a bitch, if you dare touch me, Young Master Dong will tear you to pieces!"
......
Those hooligans were still cursing and swearing.
Jiang Ming frowned slightly, a cruel smirk spreading across his lips: "Dazhuang, have the brothers lift them up and tie them up in the threshing ground... then all the women and children in the village should leave, and let Liang the Drunkard cleanse them!"
