Yan Bao and the others were not in a hurry to return to the city.
The coachman pulled the empty carriage out of the farm and stared at the arrogant mother and daughter in Huang Taoyuan. He knew that the person in charge had left and they could take action tonight.
This yellow peach orchard is said to be very profitable in the past two years.
They just picked a few flowers, but they asked for fifty taels of silver as compensation. Why didn't they just rob them?
The unconvinced mother and daughter wanted to teach Yan Bao and the others a lesson, so they called the servant in the house that night, brought an axe and a hatchet, and started chopping down the yellow peach tree that was in full bloom.
Just when they were chopping wood with great enthusiasm, Yan Bao and his men, who were hiding in the dark, lit torches, illuminating them. This caused the arrogant woman to yell, "Put out the fire, put out the fire! Are you stupid? If we find out, will you pay for it?"
"Weren't we the ones who lit the torches?"
"Yes ma'am, not us."
"It's not you, it's..." The arrogant woman had a bad feeling when she saw that the person holding the torch was not her own servant.
The domineering girl took a bamboo pole and ruthlessly crushed the flower with her fingers. Suddenly, the torch lit up, allowing her to see the surrounding situation clearly. Seeing Yan Bao making a face, she screamed in fear: "Ghost!"
“You…didn’t you leave?” Madam Arrogant’s face changed when she recognized Madam Shen.
Madam Shen sneered: “If we don’t leave, you won’t come to cause trouble, right?”
Yan Bao laughed: [Caught red-handed, I can report him to the police.]
"We..." the domineering girl argued, "We took the wrong path!"
[Go!] Yan Bao flew up and kicked the domineering girl to the ground. He glanced at the peach blossoms on the ground and beat them with a bamboo stick: [You are a bunch of black-hearted people. Peach blossoms have provoked you, and you are so cruel to destroy them?]
Ziyun showed no mercy, knowing that they deserved it, and gave the arrogant lady a good beating.
Yue Lingwan was so angry that she threw stones.
Soon, the mother and daughter were beaten with bloody heads and tied up, and their servant could not escape.
It's too late now, and there's no one at the government office to report to them. In order to punish them, they tied them to a peach tree to let them taste the pain of doing evil.
Seeing that they were really going to do it, the domineering girl howled, "We were wrong, we will compensate, we will never do it again, you can't resort to lynching."
Yan Bao rolled his eyes: [You think I'm easy to fool? You don't think you're wrong. Once we let you go, you'll dare to set fire to the mountain. I won't be fooled and give you the opportunity to set fire.]
Mrs. Shen didn’t expect that they were so vengeful that they actually set fire.
Don’t they know that if they set fire to the mountain, they will be sentenced to life imprisonment?
After a night of tossing and turning, Yan Bao and the others went back to rest. As for these people, they spent the night in the peach blossom forest. There were people guarding them so they didn't have to worry about them running away.
At dawn the next day, Mrs. Shen asked the person in charge of the yellow peach garden to come forward and send them to the yamen to explain the situation. She learned that many yellow peach trees had been cut down and many flowers had been destroyed.
They won't get any good results.
After their families found out, they bribed the government officials to give them a lighter sentence. However, the government officials didn't dare to do so. Princess Taining even sent someone to say hello, and no matter how brave they were, they still wouldn't dare to show leniency.
Handle the matter impartially and impose a heavy sentence.
The mother and daughter knew who they had offended and felt extremely regretful. They asked to see Princess Taining in the prison cell and said they were willing to pay compensation.
Yan Bao didn't care about the compensation. The mother and daughter were bullying others by taking advantage of their power. Everyone in the surrounding area knew that they were arrested, and many people were watching the fun.
In the end, the mother and daughter were sentenced to do hard labor. Having lived a life of luxury, they could not accept this and cried bitterly in the cell, regretting that they had been so desperate and had caused trouble for the owner of the yellow peach orchard.
If I knew that the child was Princess Taining, I wouldn't dare to do it.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret now.
Yan Bao knew that they were sentenced to do hard labor and were far away from the capital. He didn't care about the life or death of the mother and daughter. It was all their own fault anyway.
It would be better for her to leave the capital, so as to avoid burning down her own yellow peach orchard, which is one of her most profitable projects at present.
Another one is a glass factory.
Who can resist money?
......
Yan Bao and the others were supposed to go back to Shen's house that night, but they were delayed by the mother and daughter and did not go back for the whole night.
This was a big deal. When Chief Minister Shen came back from his work the next day, he was unwilling to pay attention to them. He had a sour face, as if they owed him eight million.
Madam Shen gave Yan Bao a look, and Yan Bao understood. He immediately hugged Shen Shoufu tightly and refused to let go, showing what he thought was the sweetest and most lovely smile: [Daddy, please don’t be angry, okay?]
[Daddy is the best, he won't get angry, right?]
"We didn't mean to be delayed. If we have to blame anyone, blame that mother and daughter. If they hadn't caused trouble, they wouldn't have delayed our return to the city."
Yan Bao raised his hand and promised: "Daddy, I promise there won't be a next time. I know you can't sleep without your mother by your side."
The corner of Shen Shoufu's mouth twitched. Humph, who said that? I slept soundly last night, so I didn't worry about you mother and daughter tossing and turning, and almost went out of the city to look for you.
Mrs. Shen: “…”
What nonsense is Yan Bao saying again!
Mrs. Shen saw that her man's expression had relaxed, and she also said a few words. Only then did Chief Minister Shen reluctantly forgive them once.
He also told them that if they encountered such a thing next time, they would not need to step in themselves. What was the point of having so many servants? Just let them guard it.
He also taught Yan Bao not to do everything by himself, but to learn to control his subordinates and let others work for him instead of working for himself!
Yan Bao said he learned it.
