Chapter 40: Like tofu
Lu Chengjing didn’t even listen to what these people were arguing about. He was staring at Shang Wan’s skirt in a daze. When he was suddenly called, he raised his eyes with a hint of confusion. color.
The clothes from last night were dirty and wrinkled. Shang Wan didn't want to inconvenience his own vase, so he quietly took out a set of moon-white robes from the space, pretending that they were dug out of the house before it rained yesterday, and asked Lu Chengjing to put them on.
Lu Chengjing was already good-looking, and he was dressed in moon white, with his black hair tied loosely behind his head. His temperament was pure and elegant, and he looked like he was a banished immortal descending to earth.
As soon as he showed up after changing his clothes today, he dazzled many young wives and older girls. Even some men murmured in their hearts, thinking that it was lucky that Lu Xiucai was already married. Otherwise, with Lu Xiucai in front of him, the girls in the village would How can you still like them?
Lu Chengjing’s confused look seemed a bit cute in Shang Wan’s eyes. She deliberately leaned into Lu Chengjing's ear and whispered what Shen Qi and Father Luo said.
Before she could finish her words, Lu Chengjing's ears turned red again.
Shang Wan smiled to himself, it was so fun to tease this guy.
"The law states that anyone who obstructs an official from handling a case will be punished according to the seriousness of the case. In minor cases, he may be sentenced to cane punishment and imprisonment; in serious cases, he may be sentenced to beheading, hanging, or imprisoned."
Lu Chengjing's tone was gentle, but as soon as the word "Lingchi" came out, everyone's hearts trembled, and a layer of white hair sweat appeared on their arms.
The Luo family was even more frightened. Luo Da and Luo Er turned to look at Father Luo, waiting for him to speak.
Father Luo's eyes flickered between Shen Qi and Lu Chengjing, "Lu Xiucai, do you take what you say seriously?"
"The law can be checked," Lu Chengjing looked at him steadily with his calm black eyes, "Uncle Luo is really going to pay for the whole family for a useless son?"
Father Luo had a sullen face, clenched his teeth, and the struggle and hesitation in his eyes was clearly visible.
Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and pinched her son. The big fat man was so painful that he howled at the top of his lungs, "Grandpa, grandpa, I won't go to jail or be beaten!"
The two children of Luo's family started crying when they heard Big Fat Brother, and they also cried with their mouths open.
Fourth uncle always bullies them. They don't like fourth uncle and don't want to help fourth uncle get beaten.
Hearing the cries of the three children, Father Luo froze, and the hesitation in his eyes disappeared a lot.
"Dad, I can pay for the life of the fourth child, but the children are still young." Luo Da knelt down towards Father Luo. The tall man had never been injured and his eyes were red, but now he burst into tears.
Dad said that the fourth child was bought by the mother with her life. When he and the second child protect the fourth child, they are protecting their mother. He listened, and no matter what bad things the fourth child did, he never said a harsh word to the fourth child.
However, his children don’t owe the fourth child anything!
Father Luo closed his eyes and turned to look at Luo Er, "Lao Er, what about you?"
Luo Er immediately knelt down, rubbed his neck and said, "Dad, I'm just like the eldest brother."
Father Luo looked at his two daughters-in-law again, "Where are you?"
Mrs. Liu immediately pulled the two children to kneel down, "I will listen to my husband."
"Same for my daughter-in-law." Mrs. Wang also pulled her child to kneel down.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Father Luo's withered lips wriggled twice, and finally he let out a deep sigh.
Qin Niang, I can’t save the fourth child after all.
The barely straight body stooped down, and Father Luo tremblingly walked aside to let go of Luo Si, who was struggling to hold him.
"Dad! Dad! I won't go to jail, I won't go to jail!" Luo Si crawled over and grabbed the corner of Luo's clothes, tears streaming down his face, "My mother gave up her life for me, Dad! Think about your mother, think about it Mother, father!”
Luo Si shouted "Dad" until his voice broke. Father Luo clenched his fists tightly, but did not lower his head to look at him.
"Trash! You murderer!" Luo Si was furious, "You caused my mother to lose her life! Now you want to hurt me? I won't let you succeed, I will kill you, I...ah!"
Luo Da kicked him away, and the last trace of affection for this younger brother in his heart was wiped out. "Ni... Nizi!" Father Luo was so angry that he couldn't breathe, and his face gradually turned purple. Luo Er hurriedly stepped forward to carry him on his back, and ran away while calling Dr. Yuan for help, without even looking at Luo Si on the ground.
No matter how deep the brotherhood is, it is exhausted in the passing of the day. If his father were not still here, Luo Er would have no longer wanted to care about this younger brother.
Luo Si knew that his family didn't care about him anymore, so he quickly crawled towards Shang Wan, "Mrs. Shang, heroine, please save me, I won't dare to do it anymore!"
Before he could crawl in front of Shang Wan, Shan Dajun stepped on him and said, "Now that I know I regret it, why did I go there earlier? You are so arrogant, don't taint Mrs. Shang's eyes."
Luo Si was tied up like a caterpillar with hemp rope, and his mouth was blocked, so he couldn't make any sound.
The villagers sent Shen Qi and Shen Qi to the entrance of the village. The horses they rode were grazing leisurely.
Liu Hu and Luo Si were thrown onto the back of the horse, and they got on the horse. The villagers watched them ride away before turning back.
Everyone walked away, but Xiao Huan stood still, looking at the two riders who were getting further and further away.
Shang Wan reached out and patted her, "What are you thinking about?"
"Sister, how will they be sentenced?" Xiaohuan raised her hand to wipe away the tears that suddenly came out, sniffing and said, "And that Chen San, will he also be arrested?"
"These two have committed a lot of things. No one reported them before. Now that they are caught, Mr. An will not give a light sentence. They must be exiled no matter what." Shang Wan said, "As for Chen San, he died yesterday ”
"Dead?" Xiaohuan's eyes widened in surprise, "How did you die?"
Shang Wan said: "The stone fell and hit my head, which was split open. I heard that the brains were splashed all over the floor, like tofu."
Xiaohuan couldn't help but turn around and vomited. She would never be able to look at Tofuhua again.
"Okay, forget about the uncomfortable things." Shang Wan reached out and put Xiaohuan's shoulders around him, leading him towards the village, his voice gentle, "There are not many things that a person can remember in a lifetime, so don't waste your brain capacity."
Although she didn't understand what "brain capacity" meant, Xiaohuan estimated that it was similar to memory. She smiled and said, "I know I will definitely remember my brother-in-law."
Shang Wan nodded in agreement. It's hard not to remember a face like that, right?
“Sister, the ground won’t move again in the future, right?”
"How accurate is this? But there shouldn't be any major earthquakes in the short term. At most there will be some aftershocks."
Xiaohuan sighed, "The house collapsed, where will we live in the future?"
"If it falls, it will fall." Shang Wan glanced at the cracked ground not far away and comforted casually, "Think on the bright side, we don't have to demolish the house ourselves to build a new house. It will save more trouble and money." "Not much."
Xiaohuan: That seems to be the case.
However, "Sister, we don't have enough money to build a new house."
"It'll be there soon." Shang Wan curled his lips.
Xiaohuan turned to look at her. Why did she feel that she was in a particularly good mood today?
Xiao Huan did not feel wrong. Shang Wan was indeed in a very good mood today because she woke up this morning and found that her powers had been quietly upgraded.
However, what she was happy about was not the upgrade of the superpower, but that with the upgrade of the superpower, an acre of spiritual field appeared in the space.
Spiritual field, that is her capital for walking sideways in the last days.
Now that we have spiritual fields, will the money be far behind?
