Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Huang Dashan and his daughter both found it strange that Jiang Yueyang could speak without opening her mouth.

But seeing that no one else reacted, they didn't dare to show it rashly.

[Are your front teeth gone?] Jiang Yueyang stared at the mouth behind the veil. [How did they disappear?]

Except for Huang Dashan, everyone else present looked at Huang Yiting's mouth without leaving any trace.

How ugly would it be without front teeth?

Huang Yiting didn’t know whether other people could hear Jiang Yueyang’s thoughts, so she could only try to stay calm.

Uncle Song was curious about how she lost her front teeth. He pricked up his ears and said, "Huang Dashan, do you think I'm easy to fool? Your daughter said you want to give her this shop as a dowry!"

"That's not true! Master, please believe me, I never said anything like that."

Huang Dashan slapped Huang Yiting again after he finished speaking, "You evil creature, tell the boss if I ever said that!"

What else could Huang Yiting not understand? This shop was not hers at all.

Faced with her father's threatening look, Huang Yiting wisely took the responsibility herself.

"I...my dad never said anything like that. It was...my sisters and I who boasted."

System: [Huang Yiting is usually harsh and arrogant. Just the other day, she went to a roadside noodle stall to eat noodles. While eating, she kept complaining that the noodles were not tasty and had a foul smell.

After complaining about the noodles, she then complained about the noodle stall owner, who was already upset because his wife had run away with someone else and was fuming. Hearing those words only made him even angrier.

But seeing Huang Yiting's brightly dressed appearance, he forced himself to eat. As a result, Huang Yiting finished her noodles and said they were unclean and gave her a stomachache. Not only did she refuse to pay, she also demanded the noodle stall owner compensate her for her medical expenses.

The noodle stall owner, enraged, swung his fist and punched her, sending two front teeth flying two miles away. If someone hadn't been holding her back, she wouldn't have just lost two teeth; her head would have been blown apart.

[Tsk! I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. Besides, do they think my uncle is a fool? My uncle may look a bit clueless, but he's not stupid at all!]

Uncle Song: Thank you.

Uncle Song was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, "Huang Dashan, you still don't tell the truth! I'm not blind, I'm not deaf, and I'm not stupid."

The words "not stupid" were pronounced very strongly, as if they were said intentionally for Jiang Yueyang to hear.

"Master, I'm telling the truth. What else do you want me to tell you?"

Hearing this, Uncle Song's face turned ashen with anger. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Yueyang stood up and said, "Since you and I each hold our own opinions, then I would like to ask Master Bai to help us settle the matter."

She looked at Bai Ze and said, "Master Bai, my uncle and I saw Miss Huang giving away the rouge in the shop. We suspect they are stealing from the shop."

Huang Dashan questioned Huang Yiting, "Did you give the rouge away?"

"I didn't. This girl misunderstood. My sisters all paid in advance."

As Huang Yiting spoke, she took out a silver coin, about three taels, from her purse.

"That doesn't seem enough?"

"I left the others at home."

Jiang Yueyang laughed, "You still say it's not embezzlement. If you take the shop's profits home, aren't you planning to pocket them?"

"I...I forgot to bring it."

"Why don't you say you forgot to bring your brain with you?"

Jiang Yueyang ignored their sophistry and looked at Bai Ze calmly, "Master Bai, are you able to handle this impartially? If not, I can ask the Dali Temple's Shaoqing for help."

"Master Xiao Jiang, you're joking. I came here to solve the problem. How could it be inconvenient?" Bai Ze paused and explained, "I don't know him at all."

[Hmph! That's best!]

Bai Ze: My dear, I'm not familiar with him. My dear friend, please help me explain. Otherwise, she might really complain about me tomorrow.

As if hearing his prayer, the system explained: [Host, you are wrongly blaming him. Lord Bai has been an official for ten years and has never embezzled a single penny.]

Hearing this, Bai Ze raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking that Huang Dashan almost caused him to be impeached, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Jiang Yueyang’s impeachment is not an ordinary impeachment, he can’t bear it!

At this time, the system added, "However, his subordinates are not very clean."

[Which subordinate? ]

Sun Peng, the chief clerk of the county government, used the name of the government to collect land at a price far below the market price, but then the land became his private land.

He accepted bribes, abused his power for personal gain, and perverted the law, leading to numerous false and wrongful convictions that harmed countless families. He also exploited his position to open gambling dens and amass vast sums of money.

Huang Dashan had previously bribed Sun Peng to help transfer the ownership of Hua Yan Tang to his name, but Sun Peng didn't dare. After all, the Song family was incredibly wealthy, and they had a son-in-law who was a minister. He couldn't afford to offend them!

Jiang Yueyang was completely speechless. [Master Bai, don't you know about these things?]

Lord Bai had only been appointed magistrate of Qingping County last year. Sun Peng, knowing his integrity, stopped engaging in such activities. He worked diligently every day, hoping he would be promoted and leave soon.

After hearing these words, Bai Ze wanted to slap himself. How blind was he, how deaf was he that he didn't notice these things?

No wonder Sun Peng always rushes to share his work. It turns out that he is afraid that he will notice the trick.

Haha, no one can tarnish his official career!

Bai Ze said calmly, "Master Xiao Jiang, are you sure you want to sue him for embezzlement?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze immediately ordered: "Take the person away."

Two yamen runners stepped forward and held Huang Dashan down. Huang Dashan struggled desperately and said, "You have no evidence, why are you arresting me?"

Bai Ze waved his hand, and one of the yamen runners understood what he meant and touched himself, but didn't find what he wanted.

So, he unexpectedly took off Huang Dashan's shoes and socks and stuffed the smelly socks into Huang Dashan's mouth.

Jiang Yueyang covered her nose and uttered a silent "hmm". Bai Ze also felt his eyes were stung and looked away.

"Lord Xiao Jiang, if there is nothing else, I will take the man back for trial first." Bai Ze bowed.

"Thank you, Lord Bai."

"The duty lies."

Jiang Yueyang thought of something and said, "Oh, right, when I went out just now, I found a few suspicious people outside my grandfather's house. Sir Bai, please send someone to check it out."

"Is this true? You two should go to Mr. Song's house now and bring the person back."

"Yes, sir." The two yamen runners turned and left.

Then, Bai Ze also turned around and walked out.

Jiang Yueyang saw a large wet patch on Bai Ze's back, scratched his head, and said to Xiaogua, "Master Bai, is your kidneys deficient? Why are you sweating so much? It's not hot today."

The system froze for a moment, and I don't know how the topic suddenly turned to the issue of kidney deficiency.

Bai Ze was about to step over the threshold when he heard the word "kidney deficiency" and stumbled and kicked the threshold, almost falling flat on his face.

Fortunately, the followers nearby caught him in time.

Jiang Yueyang saw this scene and nodded to herself, "Confirmed, it's really kidney deficiency. No wonder Master Bai has been married for many years and still has no children."

System: [He doesn't have children because of kidney deficiency, not infertility.]

[Mr. Bai is infertile?]
