527: The End of the Storm

Seeing Sanlang standing there tied up, Sun started howling immediately and rushed towards Sanlang, but was stopped by two tall and strong men. Looking at the two shining knives in front of her, Sun did not dare to move forward. She sat down on the ground and began to slap her thighs and cry.

"What a mess! Go home and howl if you want to!"

The village head was also standing by at this time. Although Zhao Daliang and Zhang Qingniang had moved out of Hebian Village, they were still people from Hebian Village, and Sanlang lived in Hebian Village. Even though he was a member of the Shen family, he was first and foremost a Hebian Village person. He was now ashamed because such a scum had come out of Hebian Village, harming the villagers and poisoning so many people. He was full of anger, and when he saw Sun Shi making trouble here, he immediately took out his anger on her.

"Shen Ziping! Pull up your wife! What a shame! If you don't want to stay here, go back! You are embarrassing yourself!"

The head of the village must have been furious, otherwise he would not have scolded the Shen family like that. After all, the Shen family is very powerful now, they are either rich or powerful.

Shen Ziping was not afraid of the head of the village, but when he saw Mu Chengzhi's cold face, he hurried to pull Sun.

Sun pushed Shen Ziping away and cursed: "Why are you dragging me here? Your good brother has wronged my son! He wants us to have no descendants! He is so cruel! Didn't we just offend them when we were in the capital? Not only did he make us unable to see our brothers and sisters get married, but now he wants to harm our Sanlang! He is so heartless! He really wants to harm his in-laws after he has his natal family! God, look at this! This is the person you bless!"

"If you don't get up, you will go to jail with your son. This general will fulfill your love for your son!"

Mu Chengzhi said coldly. He hated Sun's family to the extreme. Thinking that his sister was wronged by such a shrew, and she dared to act so shrewdly in front of him, he could imagine how hateful she was in the past. He was even more determined to get rid of Sanlang and clean up the three houses. Although it was impossible to eradicate them completely because they were members of the Shen family, they could suppress them!

When Sun heard these cold words, she was so frightened that she stopped howling for a moment. She didn't want to go to jail.

When the villagers saw this scene, some laughed, thinking that they really didn't know the situation well. They thought that these were relatives, and the first and second branches of the Shen family were treated with respect, but the third branch was like this, and it was all their own fault. They thought that the third branch was too outrageous. If it were them, they would also treat them like this!

Sun heard the laughter and turned around to scold, "What are you laughing at! If you laugh again, I will send a letter to the capital and ask my fifth brother to send people to deal with you!"

Wang Xiuyun was standing in front of the crowd at this time. After hearing this, she sneered and said, "Mr. Shen! Stop bragging here. Be careful or you will ruin your fifth brother's reputation. When the time comes, the people sent by Mr. Hanlin will not deal with us, but you!"

Grandma Hua said with a smile: "There is no need for Master Hanlin to send people. I think we can deal with you today! Look at the son you raised. He actually accepted the poison and poisoned so many people! If those people knew about it, they would break your bones!"

People were all shouting at each other, all trying not to let Sun go.

Sun was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she was also afraid.

Shen Ziping pulled her aside and said, "Don't make a fuss. Now is not the time to be tough. You should be gentle. Wait until everyone leaves, then beg Fourth Brother and the others to let Sanlang go."

When Sun heard this, she stopped talking.

Shen Ziping thought that Shen Zian was their fourth brother after all, and no matter how much they hated him, they would protect their nephew. However, he didn't know that Shen Zian would not care. Not to mention that Sanlang's actions had harmed many people, he was also going to harm him and his wife. Sun Shi had also cursed at him just now, and even mentioned the child in Su Zhi's belly, which was even more intolerable to him.

The people from the third room stopped shouting. Seeing that almost all the people had arrived, the village head shouted loudly, saying that the imperial police had solved the case. Now, in order to reassure the villagers, he would tell the story here, as a fair trial for these people, and let the people of Hebian Village know that Shen Zian and his wife were wrongly accused. Then he asked Mu Chengzhi to speak.

Mu Chengzhi spoke concisely and easily explained what happened, and then asked Zhao Daliang and the others to plead guilty.

After a period of pressure and interrogation, Zhao Daliang and his companions no longer dared to tell lies and all confessed their crimes honestly.

When the villagers heard this, they all despised the three men. If they had not been so close to the imperial guard, someone would have thrown things at them.

The atmosphere in Hebian Village has always been good. The incident involving Zhao Xiaohua had already made the people in Hebian Village feel ashamed. Unexpectedly, something even more shameful has happened now. Zhao Xiaohua's reputation was just one person's, but now it's a matter of life and death! When they thought about the family members of the poisoned people who were so aggressive coming to their Hebian Village to cause trouble, the hairs of the people in the village all stood on end.

Sun listened to the villagers scolding Sanlang. She was stunned for a moment and asked Sanlang if he confessed because he was scolded and beaten. Everyone rolled their eyes. If Sanlang was really scolded and beaten, would he not shout with so many people here? Moreover, this matter was not only known to the fourth branch of the Shen family, but also to the first and second branches. Would they still harm a little kid like Sanlang?

Sanlang knew that it was useless to say anything, so he just cried and begged Sun to save him.

When Sun heard Sanlang's words, she knew that her son really did it, and she fainted all of a sudden.

By the time Sun woke up, Sanlang and several others had already been taken away and sent to the county government.

Sun and Shen Ziping ran to Shen Zian and others to plead for mercy, but they couldn't even get in the door. They then ran and forced the three children to plead for mercy, especially Chunhua.

Chunhua covered her waist which was severely pinched by Sun and went to Fuyuan, but she did not go there to beg for mercy at all. She just went there to hide. Since Sun treated her like this, she would not beg for mercy.

"Chunhua, do you want us to ask your parents for you in a few days?"

Su Zhi saw Chunhua holding her waist and her temples throbbing in pain. She felt so distressed for her and thought that she had already promised Chunhua, so she should take her out quickly.

Su Zhi had already made up her mind. After Chunhua came, she would raise her and marry her off when she was old enough. She would also prepare a generous dowry for her. This would be her best effort as an uncle and aunt.

Chunhua felt a sharp pain in her waist. She really wanted to nod. As long as she nodded, she could live a good life immediately, as comfortable as Chunlan and Chunyue. But when she thought of Silang and Wulang, and thought of her parents who must be struggling for Sanlang these days and would not be able to take good care of them, she was their sister and still had to take care of them.

Chunhua told Su Zhi what she was thinking.

Su Zhi thought Chunhua still cared about the brotherhood. Sanlang was really unpopular, which was why Chunhua betrayed him. But she really had to thank Sanlang for being unpopular. Otherwise, even if the case could be solved, it would take a lot of trouble. It would not be so easy.

Chunhua went back again. Because she failed to accomplish her mission, she was naturally scolded by Sun again. Silang said that Wulang called her sister, and she was saved. Chunhua thought that she had finally paid off for staying for these two brothers.

In the following days, Sun and Shen Ziping really started to go out early and come back late for Sanlang, and Chunhua's relationship with her two younger brothers became better.

Shen Ziping and Sun Shi naturally did not have the ability to rescue Sanlang, and they could not even investigate the case. In the end, they had to wait for the county magistrate to judge the case.

Zhao Daliang and Zhang Qingniang were both sentenced to death by beheading, while Sanlang was exiled to the border to do hard labor and would never be released.

Sun cried and screamed. Sanlang was her eldest son, and because he was the most ambitious, she loved him the most. Even though Sanlang almost harmed Wulang, she didn't do anything to him. Now she heard that he was going to be exiled to the border for the rest of his life. She thought that this was no different from death, so she cried.

Shen Ziping persuaded her again, saying that as long as she survived, she could ask someone to rescue Sanlang. Shen Zian disagreed, but there was still Shen Ziju! If that didn't work, there was still Shen Zhu!

Sun Shi stopped crying, and the two of them discussed that if asking Shen Zian didn't work, they would go to the capital again. If Shen Ziju didn't rescue the people, they would stay in the capital.

The families whose children were poisoned hated these three men so much that they almost went to court to fight them. In the end, they calmed down only after the county magistrate said he would compensate them.

When Shen Ziping and Sun heard that they had to pay compensation, they were both shocked. They wanted to leave but couldn't. They were standing in front and were blocked by the people behind them, who were all staring at them. They had just been hit several times, so they didn't dare to run. Finally, when they heard the county magistrate fined them 100 taels of silver, Sun fainted again.

The county magistrate looked at the chaos below and thought that even if the young marquis had not asked for it, he would still have to be punished. This time he really got into big trouble. Fortunately, the case was settled. Otherwise, even if the young marquis had protected him, his political achievements would have been affected! When he thought about this, he really felt that the fine of one hundred taels was too little.

All the property of Zhao Daliang and Zhang Qingniang was sold and used to compensate the victims, which made Zhao Dazhu and his wife very unhappy. They thought that after Zhao Daliang died, the huge amount of property would be theirs, but they didn't expect it to be confiscated. But they didn't dare to make trouble and could only watch the white money run away.

Hebian Village was not in trouble, and the Shen family's reputation did not suffer much damage, all thanks to Su Zhi. She prepared a lot of pills, so that those who were poisoned could go and get one, and as long as they took it, everything would be fine. She also took out a lot of silver to distribute to those victims. Of course, this was done together with the Zhang and Qian families, and it also won back the reputation of the restaurant.

Su Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief as the storm finally died down. She looked at her belly and thought it had gotten bigger.
