Chapter 166: Setting an Example
"Let go!" County Magistrate Hu didn't like being hugged by other women. If he let his wife know, he would be the one who would bear the consequences.
Mrs. Hu has a hot temper. She has been managing the shop and supporting him for many years. It is neither moral nor reasonable for County Magistrate Hu to make Mrs. Hu unhappy.
"Sir! Sir, please let us go!" Xiao Qin hugged County Magistrate Hu's thigh tightly.
"Let go! Let go!" County Magistrate Hu's face flushed red as he yelled at the police officer, "You are dead!"
Niu Er was quicker. He picked up Xiao Qinshi like a chicken and threw her aside.
"Ouch!" Xiao Qin screamed in pain, got up and wanted to rush over again, but was held down by the police officers.
Su He was the same, suppressed by the water and fire stick.
When the adults speak, no one will be polite anymore.
The yamen was crowded with onlookers, all wanting to see who was committing fraud at the county magistrate's house.
The news spread quickly, and many people in the city rushed here.
"Qin, is what he said true?" County Magistrate Hu straightened his clothes, which were wrinkled by little Qin.
"Sir! I am really a member of the Su family! This is my daughter Su He!" Xiao Qinshi refused to mention her relationship with Feng Dazhuang, trying to get away with it.
"Sir, Feng Dazhuang should be waiting at the south gate of the city. If we call him over, we will know everything clearly." Niu Er suggested.
"Yes, yes, yes! Go and call Feng Dazhuang!" County Magistrate Hu thought about it and it made sense.
Niu Er took people to find Feng Dazhuang.
County Magistrate Hu sat in the hall, looking at Xiao Qin and Su He, unable to understand what was going on.
I asked the master in a low voice, but the master couldn't figure it out. How could there be such a bold female thief who pretended to be a member of the Su family and cheated in the grocery store of the adults?
What's the point? From what the adults said, this woman is indeed a member of the Su family. Why does she claim to be the wife of Feng Dazhuang from Nangou Village? One woman serving two husbands?
The people outside the yamen waited for a long time but saw no movement, so they began to inquire privately.
After a while, Niu Er came with a strong man, "Make way, make way!"
"Sir, Feng Dazhuang is here!" Niu Er stepped forward to report.
"Are you Feng Dazhuang, a villager from Nangou Village, Heifeng Township?" asked County Magistrate Hu.
"Yes, sir!" Feng Dazhuang bowed.
Xiao Qin, who had been crying out for justice, immediately fell silent when she saw Feng Dazhuang and quietly moved to the side.
"Take a look, do you recognize these two people?" County Magistrate Hu pointed at the mother and daughter.
Feng Dazhuang looked over and saw that the mother and daughter's clothes were a little messy, as if they had been fighting with someone. There were bloodstains on Su He's ears, cheeks, and shoulders.
No need to guess, you know that the mother and daughter are up to no good again.
"I recognize you, sir. This is my wife Qin Jiuniang and her remarried daughter Su He." Feng Dazhuang said.
"I don't know why they are here. Today, they specifically asked me to take them into the city, saying they were going to sell vermicelli noodles. They also asked me to go cut some meat, and we agreed to meet at the city gate."
"They pretended to be members of the Su family and went to Hu's grocery store to commit fraud." County Magistrate Hu was confused.
It seems that she is really from Feng Dazhuang's family. Could it be that she divorced Su Buqing from the Su family and remarried?
Looking at the confused behavior of this mother and daughter, it would be a headache for anyone to deal with them!
I'm afraid Feng Dazhuang took the job without knowing the situation, County Magistrate Hu shook his head secretly.
This kind of person has shit in his head, can't make sense, can't figure things out, keeps pestering people, and once you get involved with him, you can't get rid of the trouble.
"Cheating?" Feng Dazhuang was very surprised. How blind was that? He even went to the county magistrate's house. He was like a moth to a flame!
"Yes, he pretended to be my Erlang's friend. Fortunately, my servants were very observant and he failed to succeed, otherwise..." County Magistrate Hu felt a little embarrassed.
I am the county magistrate, and this mother and daughter are cheating in his own shop. If the punishment is too severe, the people will think that they are bullying others by taking advantage of their power. If the punishment is too light, won't it encourage more scammers to come?
"Tell me, what are you doing in the grocery store?" Feng Dazhuang is not a fool. He feels that there must be something wrong inside.
Even a fool knows that they should not do this, but they still coaxed me into bringing them here. Could it be that they really know the county magistrate?
"I didn't do anything, I just sold vermicelli!" Xiao Qin's eyes flashed.
Su He couldn't hear it, but she saw Feng Dazhuang glaring at her mother fiercely and stepping forward to block Xiao Qinshi.
"Humph, you ugly bastard! You wimp! We are the County Magistrate's honored guests, how can you be so high up as to marry us?"
"Haha, haha, haha!" Niu Er almost burst out laughing. He had seen stupid people, but he had never seen anyone as stupid as this!
"Hahahaha..." The people watching the fun were also amused. This girl must be mentally unstable.
Feng Dazhuang ignored Su He and easily dragged her away, pulling Xiao Qinshi closer. "You think so too?"
"No, no, my dear!" Xiao Qin shook her head like a rattle, and she pointed at Feng Dazhuang to rescue her.
"I don't think you dare!" Feng Dazhuang gritted his teeth.
"Sir, my mind has been stimulated. Sometimes I am clear-headed and sometimes confused. I seem normal, but I am actually living in delusion every day!
"Please, sir, be lenient with me! I will discipline myself when I return and never again come out to harm others." Feng Dazhuang knelt down and pleaded.
I finally got a wife for free, and she can still be used after washing.
"Oh, it turns out he is a lunatic! I was wondering why he was so desperate to go to a grocery store to cheat! He also said that he was a member of the Su family. What is that Su family? The ex-husband's family?" When the people heard this, they talked and speculated.
"I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy! Sir, I'm not crazy!" Little Qinshi didn't listen at all and stood up to argue with County Magistrate Hu.
"Pa!" Feng Dazhuang slapped Xiao Qinshi's face and gritted his teeth, saying, "If you don't want to be thrown into jail, shut up!"
Xiao Qin covered her face, which was numb from pain, and nodded fearfully.
"In that case, take him back quickly and keep him under good care! Don't let him come out and harm others!" County Magistrate Hu went downstairs without wanting to investigate further.
I'm afraid the Su family has some unspeakable secrets behind this. If we continue the investigation, they will just become a laughing stock.
"Yes, thank you very much, sir!" Feng Dazhuang thanked the county magistrate and took Xiao Qin away.
Su He was not convinced and didn't want to go back to Nangou Village, but he had nowhere to go, so he had to follow slowly.
"Bang!" The gavel rang out, and County Magistrate Hu said coldly, "Who told you to leave?"
But Su He was deaf and couldn't hear anything.
He was stopped by the police with a water and fire stick. Seeing Xiao Qin's face change drastically, he realized that his trouble was behind him and hurriedly shouted: "Mother, save me!"
"Sir, she is my daughter. Please spare her for the sake of the Su family!" Xiao Qin's knees softened and she knelt down.
"Su He pretended to be someone else and went to the grocery store to cheat. If she is not severely punished, wouldn't it be encouraging other scoundrels to cause chaos in Wu County!" County Magistrate Hu said seriously.
"Come here, give him ten slaps to serve as a warning to others!"
"Yes!" The police officer stepped forward and pressed Su He to the ground with the water and fire stick.
"Sir! Sir! Please spare my daughter! She is weak and can't stand being beaten!" Xiao Qin kowtowed and begged.
County Magistrate Hu had a stern expression on his face and glanced coldly at Feng Dazhuang.
Feng Dazhuang understood immediately, pulled Xiao Qin over, and controlled her to prevent her from making trouble.
"Bang!" The board fell.
"Ah!" Su He screamed in pain, her buttocks burning as if on fire.
"Oh, why don't you learn something else at such a young age? Instead, you commit fraud! You deserve it!" someone in the crowd cursed.
"Oh, it looks so pitiful!" Some people couldn't bear to watch it.
There was a large amount of blood on the buttocks. Such a delicate girl must have been injured. What a pity.
After the ten strokes of the cane, Su He lay on the ground motionless.
"Ahe, Ahe! My daughter!" Xiao Qin rushed over and hugged her daughter, crying bitterly.
