"Have you forgotten about falling from the tree? Doesn't your arm hurt anymore?"
Before General Cui and his men returned, Xie Shuyan, worried about his wife, had considered going into the mountains to check on her…
The guards wouldn't let him go, so he decided to steal it!
As a result, he accidentally fell from the tree.
He dislocated both of his arms!
Fortunately, the guards picked him up and took him back, but he also had many abrasions on his body.
Xie Shuyan was so angry that he grabbed at the guards and yelled that they were talking nonsense and told them to put him down immediately!
General Cui seized the opportunity to grab Tian Guoguo and walk away quickly.
The guards put Xie Shuyan down...
General Cui has already gone far away.
Xie Shuyan was so anxious that she tried to run over quickly, but she tripped and fell after only two steps.
My legs... my legs seem to hurt a little! Tian Guoguo, who was being held by General Cui, was a little worried and wanted General Cui to put her down so she could go and check on Xie Shuyan.
General Cui calmly replied, "Don't worry, the guards will carry him back!"
It really is...
In the end, Xie Shuyan was indeed carried back by his personal guards.
The Tian family.
Old Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Wen have not yet returned from Doctor Wang's place.
Tian Yihong's asthma is quite severe, and she needs acupuncture.
But neither Doctor Wang nor Doctor Li from Anping Village know how to use acupuncture. Now, Tian Laosan has just invited Doctor Shi from the capital!
When Tian Lao Er, Tian Lao Si, Qian Bao, and their brothers still hadn't seen General Cui return, they went to check on the back mountain.
The villagers all heard that Guoguo had been arrested, and they all went to the back mountain with her.
Besides Tian Yiming taking care of his two older brothers, Ding Zhaodi is the only other person in the Tian family!
Ding Zhaodi was overjoyed…
She rushed into the kitchen and began a ransacking search, using both hands and feet.
Unfortunately, I didn't find anything.
She quickly opened the pot lid, picked up the spatula and kept rummaging through the pork offal in the pot, finally finding the bag of ingredients.
The spice bag was tied with a thin string.
She didn't have the patience to slowly unravel it; she simply picked up a kitchen knife and cut it open, pouring out the "ingredients" inside.
As it turned out, neither the Sichuan peppercorns nor the cinnamon I expected were present…
All that's left is a pile of slag.
This is to prevent the recipe from being stolen, so all the spices were ground into powder!
Ding Zhaodi was furious!
That damned old woman from the Tian family! Making her chop wood in the backyard is bad enough, but to pull this stunt on her is just too much! Fine!
Then she'll take all of the Tian family's pig offal away and see what that old hag can sell!
She's a capable person; she gets things done immediately when she thinks of something!
Pick up the vegetable basin and roll up your sleeves.
Scoop it up!
The Tian family's iron pot was huge; Ding Zhaodi scooped out three large basins of broth before finally finishing, and then carried it home!
Fearing being seen, she cleverly took off her coat and covered the basin with it.
It was a bit cold outside, and she soon started sneezing from the cold!
But this did not stop her from stealing meat.
One trip, two trips...
There's only one more trip left!
She ran into the kitchen as she had the previous two times, covered the basin with her clothes, and ran out.
But he had just run to the door...
General Cui and his personal guards happened to be returning from the mountain, accompanied by Tian Lao Er, Qian Bao and other brothers, as well as a group of villagers.
this…
Ding Zhaodi dared not run back to her own home any longer, and quickly turned around and ran back, but because she was running too fast, she did not notice the small stool in the yard...
Then there were a few loud "crackling" sounds.
Not only did Ding Zhaodi fall flat on her face, but the whole basin of pig offal she was holding also spilled all over the yard.
The last large dish was even dumped on her head.
The pork offal was freshly cooked, and the pot was scalding hot, with steam rising from it.
Before the dish hit the ground, a lot of offal and broth had already landed on her…
Plus this vegetable bowl…
Ding Zhaodi was so burned that she didn't even care about the pain from her fall. Almost instinctively, she jumped up and ran around the yard crying out in pain.
It looked like they were about to run into General Cui...
Yang Zhao quickly stepped forward and kicked her, sending her flying half a meter away, where she fell flat on her face again!
The vegetable basin was then thrown down.
Ding Zhaodi finally felt a bit better, but two large blisters appeared on her face from the burn.
Moreover, there's one on each cheek.
How should I put it?
It looks quite symmetrical!
Everyone present was too ashamed to watch; it was truly embarrassing.
But even though it's unbearable to look at...
Seeing the pig offal scattered all over the place, Tian Lao Er immediately ran back to the kitchen, looking at the large iron pot where not even a drop of soup was left...
What else doesn't he understand?
She immediately ran out and questioned Ding Zhaodi, "Where are my pig offal? Where did you put them?"
When he asked that question, the villagers present all realized what he meant.
One of the villagers, quick-witted as ever, shouted, "Second brother, why are you still asking her? She must have stolen it while you weren't home!"
"Let's go check out the Xie family!"
Tian Laosi happened to be next to the villagers who were shouting, and he thought it made sense, so he immediately ran to Xie's house.
General Cui was afraid that he would be bullied by the Xie family if he went there, so he quickly ordered several guards to follow him, and some villagers also followed him on their own initiative.
As expected.
When Tian Laosi arrived at the Xie family's house, Ding Zhaodi's two sons and Xie Daniu were eating!
As they ate, they praised how delicious it was.
Everyone was furious. Tian Laosi quickly stepped forward to snatch back his pig offal, wanting to curse but not knowing what to say.
He has always considered himself a scholar and has almost never cursed anyone in his life!
Now that I need to use it, I can't think of any words.
He didn't even need to think of a reason; the guards had already arrested the three members of the Xie family and ordered him to return to the Tian family to await the general's judgment!
But the villagers didn't hold back their words.
As they walked back with the guards, everyone cursed Xie Daniu, calling him a beast for bringing a child to commit such a despicable theft!
Xie Daniu was actually quite wronged.
He was sleeping at home when Ding Zhaodi suddenly brought back two basins of pig offal and offered them to him, so he ate! But he couldn't say that!
All they could do was keep insisting that they hadn't stolen anything!
But nobody believed it!
Before they even reached the Tian family's residence, they were stopped by a guard who rushed over and told them to go directly to Yang Qiuci's place.
It is said that General Cui and others have already gone there.
No one asked any more questions and simply changed their route!
Yang Qiuci was the head of the village committee for ten surrounding villages, and there was a village committee office under his jurisdiction.
The yamen was small, and there weren't many people inside.
But all the necessary instruments of torture were available!
Tian Lao Er was already talking about Ding Zhaodi stealing his pig offal, and Ding Zhaodi initially tried to lie through her teeth...
Lai Bo will never admit it!
But before they could finish speaking, Tian Laosi and the others arrived.
Xie Daniu and his two children still had bits of meat and oil on their hands and mouths, while Tian Laosi was also carrying pig offal.
What's there to argue about?
Yang Qiuci immediately made the decision: drag Ding Zhaodi out and give her 20 lashes!
This is punishment for her talking nonsense!
Ding Zhaodi already had a runny nose from the cold, and after being beaten, her nose and eyes were even more watery.
The screams were like the squeals of a pig being slaughtered!
Twenty lashes are no small feat.
After the beating, Ding Zhaodi's pants were stained red with blood, and she had already fainted.
But the case wasn't over yet. Yang Qiuci had someone bring Ding Zhaodi a basin of cold water to wake her up, and then he wanted to continue the trial!
Ding Zhaodi was drenched to the bone.
I couldn't stop sneezing.
Neither Xie Daniu nor her two sons on her side spoke up for her; they even stepped away from her while she was being doused.
