Chapter 239 238. Engagement?!
These more than one hundred lashes were certainly not meant to kill.
——Although Lei Li really had this intention.
The whip hits the flesh.
Every blow was severely dealt to the Liu family member. The Liu family's parents had failed to educate their son well, and Lei Li had come to their house to explain the whole story and demanded an apology from his son. However, they dared to protect their son and even blackmailed Lei Li.
Lei Li started smoking without saying a word.
From the Liu family's grandparents to the servants who came to protect their master, the Liu family's father and mother were whipped thirty times, and even the Liu family's vicious dog that barked incessantly was whipped twice.
The young man surnamed Liu spoke rudely and maliciously, and dared to be stubborn even when facing death. He used Zhou Yi and the county magistrate to pressure him, saying that he was a fierce man and Zhou Yi would definitely divorce him, and that he used lynching and the county magistrate would enforce the law impartially to seek justice for him.
"snort."
Lei Li sneered and swung the nearly two-meter-long horsewhip. The sharp sound of breaking through the wind was like a flash of lightning. Sixty-six of the 108 whips were lashed on the young man named Liu.
Bloodstains of varying sizes.
From a distance it looked like a person with red fish scales growing on his body, but when you looked closely you could see that his skin was torn apart.
Lei Li whipped until his anger subsided, then he slowly reeled back the whip and said coldly, "Keep a good eye on your son. If he does it again, I'll skin him alive."
After saying this, he mounted his horse and rode away.
"I haven't spanked anyone in a long time. This beating made me feel refreshed and comfortable all over."
Lei Li felt great, and when he got home, he hugged Zhou Yi into the bedroom, pushed him onto the bed, and had some fun with him again, before falling asleep contentedly in Zhou Yi's arms.
The Liu family was in chaos.
The young man named Liu was beaten like a cat playing with a mouse. He was terrified and angry, and he had a high fever that night.
The two elders of the Liu family were so angry that they fell ill. The servants were beaten and fled in all directions, and they had already returned home, not daring to come again to provoke bad luck.
Liu's parents were so frightened that they cried, cursed, and called for a doctor. They were busy until the morning when they saw their son's fever began to subside. They finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then they thought of what happened last night and were even more frightened and angry.
tell!
Go to the county government and sue him!
Then, Lei Li was brought before the magistrate Meng Yao and brought to court.
Although Meng Yao felt that Lei Li acted too impulsively, he also disliked the Liu family's style, so he gave each of them fifty lashes - he asked the Liu family to apologize to Lei Shengjiang and Miao Yurui, and Lei Li to compensate the Liu family for the money for medicine.
It was said that each of them would be beaten with fifty lashes, but even a fool could tell who was beaten lightly and who was beaten severely.
Lei Li whipped the Liu family more than a hundred times, and they only paid some money as compensation. The Liu family had to apologize silently after being beaten, and even had to pull their son who was lying in bed to say sorry.
The magistrate is intentionally favoring the Lei family.
Everyone in the county knows it well.
In order to continue to lead Qingmi County and please the county magistrate Meng Yao, the old stubborn merchants who originally did not obey Lei Li had no choice but to hold their noses and give way to the Lei family.
The local tyrants in Qingmi County have changed dynasties.
The old merchants and gentry landlords who had occupied this place for decades or even hundreds of years became the dominant family of the Lei family.
No matter whether they are in the same industry as the Lei family or in an unrelated industry, they all show courtesy and offer preferential treatment to the Lei family.
Bookstores no longer dared to secretly copy and pirate Lei Jingsheng's comic shop. The Lei family's ship docked at the port had an exclusive berth, and even the officials from the county government were more polite to people related to the Lei family's industry.
The shopkeepers and clerks of the shops under the Lei family's name, as well as the Lei family's relatives, were suppressed by Lei Li before they had a chance to show off their power.
"It's better to kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
Lei Li smiled, his tone gentle. "No matter who it is, if they violate the employee code of conduct in any way, they will be severely punished. If they violate it again, they will be fired directly."
"He won't do it, but there are plenty of people who want to do it."
"As for those who are related to me and use my name to defraud others... if they commit a crime, they will be arrested. The serious ones will be sentenced, while the minor ones will be sent to the mountains to open up wasteland for a few months and then they will behave themselves."
Be strict with others and lenient with yourself.
It is a traditional virtue that Lei Li has always adhered to.
He beat people without any problem because he has the ability and connections. What does it have to do with him if his relatives commit crimes? Even if a young man breaks the law for no reason, he will be beaten by him.
The incident of pulling people out stopped there.
But I don't know how those people spread the rumor, saying that the young man from the Liu family confessed his love to Miao Yurui and blatantly stole the fiancé of the eldest young master of the Lei family. Lei Shengjiang was furious and complained to his father Lei Li.
Lei Li loved his son dearly, so he went to the house and beat the young man Liu severely. The young man was covered in wounds and begged for mercy repeatedly, swearing that he would never like Miao Yurui again.
…Although it feels close to the truth, why is it so strange?
Moreover, after this incident, the men who originally had some feelings for Xiaobao were so scared that they no longer dared to covet Xiaobao. When they saw him, they would like to stay three meters away from him, for fear of being misunderstood by Lei Shengjiang and being beaten.
The Miao family, which had no matchmakers coming to visit, was even more deserted.
In fact, Miao Fulang wanted to find a husband for Xiaobao. Sixteen years old is the best age, and he dared not bet Xiaobao's happiness that Sheng Jiang would not change her mind.
But after all this publicity, all the money Miao Fulang spent on the matchmakers was returned. Those matchmakers did not dare to offend the Lei family, for fear that they would be beaten by the fierce Lei Li.
Miao Fulang: “…”
He could only give up the idea of arranging a blind date for Xue Xiaobao.
—
Little Ginger knew nothing about these things.
However, the fact that the young man surnamed Liu had been harassing Xiaobao privately still left him with some trauma. He was afraid that his brother Xiaobao would be harassed by bad guys again without his knowledge, so the little guy clung to his brother even more closely.
Little Ginger has become a real follower of Xiaobao.
Xiao Zhou Zhou was Brother Sheng Jiang's follower, and then it became Sheng Jiang following Xiao Bao, Xiao Zhou Zhou following Sheng Jiang, and behind Xiao Bao there were two followers, one big and one small.
In the blink of an eye.
The little ginger grew up like a willow branch.
When he was eleven years old, Xiao Shengjiang was no longer Xiao Shengjiang, but Lei Shengjiang.
He grew up to be a handsome young man with fair complexion, a jade crown, smiling eyebrows and a pair of tender peach blossom eyes that were so affectionate that even dogs could look at them with deep affection, and he won the hearts of countless young girls and boys.
Also last year, Lei Shengjiang passed the examination for Tongsheng, becoming the youngest Tongsheng in Sanlihe Village. If he passes the examination for Xiucai this year, he will be the youngest Xiucai.
However, Lei Li and Zhou Yi did not plan to let Lei Shengjiang take the examination for the scholar degree so early. The academy examination was held every three years, and they planned to postpone it until the year after next for Shengjiang to take the examination. A thirteen-year-old scholar was not too old, but not too young either.
He is a genius but not top-notch.
Lei Shengjiang is still studying in the village school, but Mr. Cao, who has passed the examination to become a scholar and is planning to become a juren, no longer teaches in the village school class, but only teaches the scholar class to make up for the weak points.
In the two village schools, the one in Sanlihe Village and the one in Silihe Village, children who have passed the examination for Tongsheng can enter the Xiucai class and study for the Xiucai class under Master Cao.
In order to give his son a better education, Lei Li also recruited another famous scholar to teach the children in the scholar class together with Master Cao.
A two-pronged approach.
Lei Shengjiang is making rapid progress.
Today, the article he wrote was praised by Master Cao again, who said that if he took part in this year's college examination, he would most likely pass, and he could try for the provincial examination next year.
Lei Shengjiang was not planning to take the exam this year, but he was still very happy to hear what Master Cao said.
He was carrying his article home when he ran into Zhou Zhou, who was in a hurry. He smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you running so fast?"
"Brother Xiaobao!"
Five-year-old Zhou Zhou's speech was still childish, but his face was stern yet serious. "I heard Daddy say that Brother Xiaobao is getting engaged!"
"What?!"
Lei Shengjiang felt dizzy and hurriedly asked Zhou Zhou, "Who is Brother Xiaobao engaged to? When did Daddy tell him? Didn't Brother Xiaobao refuse?"
"Dad just said that."
Xiao Zhouzhou said with a serious expression, "Daddy said it in the main hall. Dad, Miao Dad, Daqiang Dad, and Xiaobao Brother were all there. I overheard it."
"Brother Xiaobao didn't say anything."
"As soon as I heard about it, I ran to find my brother. Brother, please go home quickly. Brother Xiaobao can't get engaged to anyone else. Brother is my brother!"
“How could it be…”
Why didn’t Brother Xiaobao refuse?
Daddy, Daddy Miao, and Daddy Daqiang have made their decision? Why didn't you tell him?
Lei Shengjiang pursed his lips and clenched the article in his hand, "I'll be back right away."
He didn't care about what was happening around him and ran home in a hurry. There was no stone on the road. He stepped on it, his foot twisted, and he fell heavily.
He remembered that when he was a child, he went to the village school to find his brother Xiaobao. When he was running towards his brother Xiaobao, he stepped on a stone and fell hard, bruising his knee.
Brother Xiaobao was very nervous and worried, so he hugged him in his arms, gently wiped the dirt off his knees, and blew on them gently. Brother Xiaobao said that it would not hurt if he blew on them.
Brother Xiaobao will also give blowjobs to others in the future and say to someone he likes, "Will it stop hurting if you blow on it?"
Lei Shengjiang's eyes turned red.
But he stubbornly held back his tears. He quickly got up and ran towards home. He rushed into the wide-open door and saw his father and brother Xiaobao in the main room.
"Brother Xiaobao..."
Lei Shengjiang didn't want to cry at first, but he always cried in front of his brother Xiaobao. His brother laughed and said he was a little crybaby, so he would take advantage of the situation and act coquettishly with his brother, saying that Shengjiang was a crybaby in front of his brother.
But he didn't want to cry at this time.
But I couldn't stop the tears, they kept falling down like beads with broken string.
"Ginger?"
Xiao Bao's eyes curved when he saw Jiang. Just as he smiled, he saw the boy's eyes turned red. He looked at him with great grievance, and tears rolled down his face, like a poor abandoned puppy.
Xiao Bao was startled and quickly went over to wipe his tears with his own handkerchief. "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Were you bullied in school?"
"Brother Xiaobao..."
Lei Shengjiang was crying so hard that he was hiccuping. His words were intermittent and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Why are you crying like this..."
Xiaobao was heartbroken.
He embraced the young boy, who was now as tall as his chest, and comforted him gently, "Brother Xiaobao is here, Sheng Jiang, don't cry, don't cry... Tell Brother Xiaobao what's wrong?"
