A car accident, our family of three crossed

After the execution, He Li was thrown to the ground crying and howling. When she looked up, she saw Song Ning and Zhou Ru together. She guessed that it was Song Ning who gave the idea to the young lady from the city and brought people to teach her a lesson.

So she started to curse: "Song Ning, you bitch, you actually helped that little bitch to harm me, you will not have a good death, just wait, wait for this little bitch to seduce your man away..."

Zhou Huan heard her words getting more and more unpleasant, and he said angrily: "Someone, slap me in the face."

He Li was slapped several times, stars appeared in her eyes, and her whole face became red and swollen.

"In my opinion, this evil woman doesn't think she has done anything wrong and dares to be so arrogant in front of me." Zhao Kunshen's face turned cold, "Since this mouth can only spit out dirty words, then forget about the tongue."

He gave a look to the personal guard beside him, who understood and pulled out a dagger from his boots. He walked towards He Li step by step, pinched her cheeks and forced her to open her mouth, and then inserted the dagger into her mouth and pressed it against her tongue. As long as the master gave the final order, the tongue could be cut off immediately.

With the cold dagger pressed against her tongue, He Li felt unprecedented fear. Her eyes opened wide and she did not dare to struggle at all, fearing that if she moved the slightest, her tongue would be separated from hers.

The villagers of Shangtang Village had never seen such a scene before. Almost everyone was frightened, especially the women who had talked about Zhou Ru in private. They all lowered their presence. He Dazhu's family was so scared that their legs were weak. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Zhou Ru didn't expect it to turn into such a bloody scene. When she thought of He Li's tongue being cut off, her hair stood on end. She ran to Zhao Kunshen's side, gently tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Uncle Zhao, forget it."

"Ru girl, are you going to plead for this evil woman?" Zhao Kunshen looked at Zhou Ru with a serious face and disapproving. He didn't know how Zhou Huan raised his daughter, but he raised her to be too kind and too easy to suffer. He glared at Zhou Huan with some dissatisfaction.

Zhou Huan turned around and met Zhao Kun's dissatisfied eyes. He was a little puzzled and didn't understand why this man was crazy again. But at this moment, he was more concerned about his daughter's thoughts, so he asked: "Ru'er, why are you begging for her? She didn't show any mercy when she plotted against you behind your back."

Zhou Ru pondered for a moment and said, "She was beaten with a stick and slapped in the face. She has already received the punishment she deserved. If her tongue was cut off, she might die." She had never experienced such a thing. If someone died because of her, she would definitely feel guilty.

Zhao Kunshen was silent for a long while, and said helplessly: "Ru girl, your father protects you too well!" He couldn't help but wonder, if this happened to his own daughter, what would she do?

"Feng Jian, come back!" He called back the guard named Feng Jian, and then said coldly to He Li: "Since Miss Zhou is pleading for you, this government will not pursue the matter. Today's matter ends here. If anyone commits the same offense again in the future, this government will cut off her tongue." The last sentence was said to everyone.

Zhao Kunshen had not planned to show up too early, but now that he was furious about Zhou Ru's matter, he revealed his identity as the prefect. I'm afraid this matter can't be concealed for long. Zhou Huan was a little dissatisfied with him. This matter involving the reputation of a girl was not suitable for public display. It could be handled privately, but he, the prefect, showed up in a high-profile manner and showed off his official power. Was he afraid that the world would not know about this?

Therefore, when returning to the city, Zhou Huan did not give him a good look all the way, asking him to deal with the aftermath of the matter and not let it spread out and let more people know. By then, even if Zhou Ru had a clear conscience, others would probably not believe it.

Zhao Kunshen naturally thought of this afterwards. He knew he was in the wrong, and he would handle the matter well without Zhou Huan's reminder. The best way was to divert everyone's attention before they paid attention to the matter.

After returning to the county town from Shangtang Village, Zhao Kunshen went to the government office without stopping. The two guards outside the gate of the county government office were quite competent. They stopped people outside the gate and said, "The government office is a place where outsiders are not allowed to enter. If you have grievances, you can beat the drum to complain. If you have nothing to do, please leave quickly."

Feng Jian stepped forward and showed the prefect's seal: "The prefect is here, why don't you let him go."

The two yamen runners were shocked when they heard this and quickly knelt down and saluted: "We didn't know the prefect was here, please forgive us."

"Get up and go invite your county magistrate." Zhao Kunshen walked past them and went straight into the yamen. One of the yamen runners quickly led him to the reception room, while the other went to the backyard of the yamen as quickly as possible.

The county magistrate almost ran over, wearing his official uniform as he ran. When he ran to the reception room, he didn't even have time to straighten the tilted black gauze hat on his head.

He adjusted his official hat and saluted breathlessly, "I, your humble servant Chen Kui, pay my respects to the prefect."

Zhao Kunshen put down his teacup and said, "No need to be polite, County Magistrate Chen. Please sit down!"

"Thank you, sir." County Magistrate Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat trembling with fear. His mind was already in a thousand thoughts. "I don't know when you arrived in Pingyang County. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

He had not yet reported the affairs of the Wan family to the provincial government, but the prefect had appeared in Pingyang County at this time. He did not know whether it was related to the Wan family, nor how much the other party knew about the Wan family. County Magistrate Chen did not dare to speculate.

Zhao Kunshen said, "I came here to visit a friend, but I didn't expect Pingyang County to be so lively!"

County Magistrate Chen knew without hesitation that the prefect was probably well aware of the Wan family's affairs, so he did not dare to hide anything and reported every detail of the Wan family's affairs.

The news that the prefect had made a high-profile appearance in the county government office had already spread. The people in the city had all speculated that the prefect must have come for the Wan family's affairs, and they were all waiting to see the Wan family's final outcome.

Peng Desheng has been restless since he received the news. If the prefect personally intervenes in the affairs of the Wan family, he will have no say in front of the prefect. If he cannot protect the Wan family, the Wan family will drag him into the water again. Just thinking about this makes him feel bad.

At a tea stall not far from the county government office, several men gathered together, their eyes never leaving the gate of the county government office.

"The prefect is here, we have a chance to redress our grievances."

"Let's go play the drums now!"

Several people discussed and wanted to go and beat the drums to appeal for justice immediately, but one of them said, "We can't rush this matter. Everyone calm down first and wait and see. Maybe the adults will bring the Wan family to trial in a few days. It won't be too late for us to appeal for justice then."

This person was the man who lived in a village adjacent to Xiaoquan Village and whose wife was abducted and raped by Wan Baolu. His name was Zhang Mandun. After he left home that day, he found these families and discussed with them to jointly sue the Wan family. He even asked someone to write the lawsuit and was just waiting for the right time.
