Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy
Chapter 70 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
That night.
Zheng Jiufu was dreaming of getting rich overnight in the gentle garden of Baihuayuan.
A sharp pain came over me, and I saw a figure flash past before I fell into darkness.
The next morning, a naked man was found tied to a large locust tree at Caishikou. His head was hanging down, he was completely naked, his body was covered in fat, and on his bulging belly was a large character "dog" written.
"Oh my God! This, this, this..." The aunt carrying the bamboo basket quickly covered her eyes.
"Who is this?"
"Someone tricked you?"
As the crowd gradually gathered, noisy discussions and curious gazes intertwined. Driven by curiosity, a few brave spectators finally couldn't hold back and cautiously took a few steps forward to take a closer look.
One of them had a look of surprise and disbelief in his eyes.
As if afraid of seeing wrongly, he leaned in to take a closer look, then suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Zheng Jiufu?"
These words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples. Onlookers cast questioning and inquiring glances, whispers rising and falling.
"Ah? Boss Zheng?"
"How could it be him? I saw him showing off and bragging in the restaurant yesterday!"
"Isn't he said to be Marshal Li's right-hand man?"
"Yeah, who did it?"
Perhaps it was too noisy around him, and Zheng Jiufu woke up in a daze. He opened his eyes, and the scene around him was both familiar and unfamiliar. He tried to sort out his thoughts, but his head felt like it was about to split.
He instinctively wanted to raise his hand to touch his aching head, only to find that he was tied up, naked, and exposed in public.
He was fully awake, his eyes wide open, and he looked around.
I saw more and more people gathered around, their faces showing curiosity, surprise, ridicule, and sarcasm...
Those looks and ridicules were like sharp arrows piercing his heart.
Anger and humiliation washed over him, and he roared, "Whoever comes to untie me, I'll give him a hundred dollars!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gathered around.
Soon, the news that Zheng Jiufu was stripped naked and tied to the big locust tree in Caishikou spread.
Some people even made a joke out of this incident and described the details vividly.
After listening to Ah Fu's description, Nanchun laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
"For someone who cares so much about his reputation and is so conceited, this method is even more painful than killing him!"
Ah Fu said with a smile: "Who says it's not? If it were me, I would be so ashamed that I couldn't stay in He'an County for a moment."
Nanchun thought for a moment and asked, "Did anyone say who did it?"
Ah Fu shook his head and said, "I heard Zheng Jiufu is searching the whole city for someone right now! He even spread the word that he wants to chop this guy into pieces."
"Hey, why don't I see your second young master?"
"The Second Young Master and the Patriarch went to see Chairman Jiang."
Here, Bai Yishui and Bai Xun were drinking tea with Jiang Yuanhai and Jiang Wenjie at Jiang's house.
Old Yu came hurriedly to report.
"Zheng Jiufu is making a scene at the gate of the mansion, and he insists that you, Master, seek justice for him and help him find the culprit."
Jiang Yuanhai placed the teacup heavily on the table, snorted coldly, and said, "This isn't a government office that handles cases. If you want to find the criminal, send him to the prison."
Old Yu looked embarrassed.
"What kind of prisoner is he looking for?" Bai Xun asked.
"I heard... last night someone knocked him unconscious, stripped him of his clothes, and tied him to the big locust tree at Caishikou..."
"What? Hahahaha..." Jiang Wenjie spat out a mouthful of tea.
Bai Yishui frowned slightly and looked at Bai Xun in confusion.
"Hehe, he is the criminal. After all, he has offended so many people." Bai Xun said lightly.
Jiang Wenjie was so happy that his stomach hurt when he heard this: "No, why didn't I realize that you are so funny before, Bai Er?"
"What does he think of me? He comes to me for trouble over such a trivial matter?" Jiang Yuanhai's face was gloomy.
Old Yu said, "He...he said he knew the Bai family's grandfather and grandson were also here, and he wanted the Bai family to help."
"Oh, it turns out that the real intention is not to drink! I want to see what kind of opera he wants to perform!" Bai Xun said quietly.
Old Yu looked at Jiang Yuanhai with some embarrassment.
"The guy named Zheng is a scoundrel. If we refuse to let him in, he will start a big show at the door. Let him in. I also want to see what he wants to do." Jiang Wenjie said.
Jiang Yuanhai nodded helplessly, and Lao Yu walked out quickly.
After a while, Zheng Jiufu came.
"Master Jiang, Master Bai, you two have to make the decision for me!" He started howling as soon as he entered the door.
"What are you doing? Who did this to you? Tell me in detail." Jiang Yuanhai said.
Zheng Jiufu was speechless for a moment, and stammered, "You... don't you know yet?"
Jiang Wenjie asked with a smile, "What do you know? Since you are the victim, how can we help you if you don't complain?"
Zheng Jiufu hoped that everyone, including himself, would forget such an embarrassing incident. But asking him to repeat it himself was like asking for his life.
"Well... I was attacked last night." As he said this, he stretched his head over and there was a big bump on the back of his head.
"Did you see the person who attacked you?" Jiang Wenjie asked.
"No, I was sleeping and the room was too dark... I saw a figure passing by. But the figure looked very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere..." As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Xun with a pair of cunning eyes.
Jiang Yuanhai said with a gloomy face, "This is not a police station. You got a bump on your head, why are you looking for me for help? Did you get your brain damaged?"
Zheng Jiufu scratched his head and said, "I've only been back from Ancheng for a few days, and I only had an argument with the second young lady of the Bai family."
Bai Xun looked at him coldly and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zheng Jiufu felt a chill on his back when he was stared at by his cold gaze, and he straightened up involuntarily.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner panic, and tried to make his voice sound steady: "Second Young Master Bai, I'm just stating the facts."
"You need evidence to speak. Do you have any witnesses or physical evidence?" Bai Yishui asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Yes, didn't Marshal Li send a few martial artists to protect you? There are guards inside and outside your house. It's impossible that no one saw the murderer, right?" Jiang Wenjie said with a smile.
Zheng Jiufu's expression changed slightly as he said, "Not at home, but in Baihuayuan."
"That's even more interesting. You were attacked in Baihuayuan, but instead of seeking justice from Li Quanan, you came to our Jiang family to seek justice? Could it be that Li Quanan asked you to come? Then I have to go and ask him what his intentions are!" Jiang Wenjie said as he was about to go out.
"Hey, hey, hey..." Zheng Jiufu hurriedly pulled him back and said with a wry smile, "No, it has nothing to do with Boss Li. It was my own idea! I just thought that if the feud really stemmed from an argument with Second Young Lady Bai... I hoped Master Jiang could mediate."
