Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

As the sky was getting light, many people who were transporting goods from other cities to the capital had already arrived at the foot of the city wall and were waiting early, so that they could deliver the goods to their owners as soon as the city gate opened.

Today was just like any other day, and they were waiting at the foot of the city wall early in the morning.

But as we waited, the time was almost up, but why hadn't the city gate opened yet?

Normally they would not look up at the tall city walls, but today they looked up to see the situation because the city gate was not open.

They gasped as they looked up.

Two naked men were hung under the city wall, sleeping soundly with their heads tilted.

What surprised them even more was that their crotches were stained with blood.

"Ouch, my eyes!" An old man covered his eyes, unable to bear to look, with a look of shame on his face.

The sturdy man narrowed his eyes and said, "Whose family is this? Why is he hanging there? He must have done something to deserve revenge and is being hung under the city wall as a warning to others."

"They must have done something evil and were hung up there by the prefect as a warning to the public. Just look at their faces, they look like they have done something immoral." The woman pointed upwards, as if she already knew the truth.

More and more people gathered under the city wall, and they all stretched their necks and looked up at the two people hanging on the wall.

"Look, the bag is so small. He must have done too many bad things and his family lineage will be extinct!" The woman said exaggeratedly, as if she had discovered something huge.

This sentence attracted many people's attention, and there was confusion in their eyes.

The woman straightened herself up and glared at them.

"Humph, what are you looking at?"

This woman is the madam of a brothel in the city. She can tell what a man looks like at a glance.

She could still see that.

"Hey, why does one of the people up there look so familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before. He looks a bit like Lord Jiang."

The person who was speaking looked like a scholar. He lived in a dilapidated temple nearby. He stayed in the temple after dark every day, and rushed to the teahouse in the city as soon as it was dawn to meet friends in the book and discuss Yan Ruyu in the book together.

Naturally, he also met Jiang Youcheng, who came from the capital to supervise the exam.

As the invigilator, Jiang Youcheng was not supposed to have much contact with them, but Jiang Youcheng valued talent, so when he saw someone with promising potential, he would inevitably have a few words with them.

So many scholars wanted to say a few more words to Jiang Youcheng.

"I also recognized who that man is. Isn't this the prefect of our city? How come they were hung on the city wall?" The strong man had done heavy work in the prefect's mansion and had met the prefect once.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar, as if a drop of cold water had been dropped into hot oil.

They all looked at the two people on the city wall in disbelief.

Some people have lived in the city for a long time. They went out to do business yesterday and just came back this morning. They still know something about what the prefect has done.

"This must be retribution! Magistrate Jiang must have done something heinous and was hanged on the city wall as a warning to the public!"

"Yeah, he deserves it. He's the one who left nothing to chance. I've always disliked him."

"Especially his sister. How many scholars have been ruined by her every time. What we know is just the surface. There are probably even more scholars inside."

The noise below finally woke up the two people hanging on the city wall.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the people below looking up at him, chattering in their mouths, but he didn't know what they were saying.

You don't need to listen to them to know that this matter is related to them.

He must be scolding them.

When they looked down, they found that they were not wearing any clothes. The thought of being hung naked until dawn made their faces filled with anger, rage and fear.

Magistrate Jiang shouted upwards, "Someone, come quickly, pull us up!"

"Someone come and pull us up."

With this shout, the guard who was sleeping soundly on the ground woke up immediately. The memory of last night flashed through his mind quickly. Hearing the sound, he hurriedly woke up the others and went to pull Governor Jiang and Jiang Youcheng up.

When the people under the city wall saw people being dragged up, they all shut their mouths and stopped talking.

The people in the city woke up, and it would be terrible if they saw me gossiping.

.....................

The city was also in chaos at this time. When the people in the city went out, they saw the prefectural mansion in ruins.

Inside were rows of people sleeping peacefully.

More peaceful than the dead.

If the people had not confirmed from the rising and falling of their chests that they were still alive, they would have thought that the prefect and his entire family had been killed.

But it was really strange that such a huge mansion was reduced to ruins overnight without anyone noticing. Logically, they should have been able to hear such a loud noise.

The people in the prefect's mansion woke up and were shocked to see themselves lying on the ground. Their eyes widened when they saw the ruins of the mansion.

How could such a good mansion become like this?

What happened in the end?

Jiang Qing moved his fat body to his old mother's side, cursing.

"Who on earth messed up our prefectural mansion like this? If my brother catches him, I won't let him off!"

Madam Jiang was also very confused. The mansion that had been in good condition had turned into something completely different after she woke up, leaving her unable to recover for a long time.

Magistrate Jiang appeared dressed with an angry look on his face.

Jiang Qing was very happy to see her brother back, and she kept yelling at her brother to quickly catch the culprit and torture him severely.

"Brother, look at what has become of our home. You should arrest the culprit."

When Prefect Jiang saw Jiang Qing, he felt a burning anger in his heart. He walked up to her in three or five steps and slapped her hard.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't done that and robbed the scholar, would the mansion be in this state? Would I have to go through this?"

Jiang Qing was stunned and had no idea what her brother meant.

Coming back to his senses, he shouted, "Brother, what does this have to do with the state of the mansion? I asked you to catch the culprit, why did you hit me?" After saying that, he came to Madam Jiang with a look of grievance and said, "Mom, my brother hit me."

Old Madam Jiang was still in a daze. Seeing her little daughter being beaten, she was heartbroken and picked up her cane to hit Magistrate Jiang.

"Are you trying to kill me? Why did you hit your sister? What's wrong with your sister bringing home someone she likes? Why do you have to interfere?"

Magistrate Jiang was so angry after being beaten. He didn't care and instead helped the evildoer, which led to what he experienced last night.

He grabbed Madam Jiang's cane and glared at Jiang Qing.

"Mom, Jiang Qing killed me!"
