In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 274 - 273: Punishment_1

Chapter 274: Chapter 273: Punishment_1

What a blind fool I’ve been!

Previously, I considered her nothing but a fiery beauty, a lamb I could eat up whenever I so wished.

I could never have imagined, that, she’s actually the sister of the county magistrate!

This is not a lamb at all, it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Oh, dear!

Looking at the bloodstain on his son’s mouth, the village chief’s lips twitch uncontrollably.

Just as he was about to speak, Jun Ruoxue’s gaze swept towards him, "And you too! You old fool, you are no better yourself! Slap yourself ten times, make sure I can hear them!"

The village chief shivered from head to toe, no longer daring to plead for his son.

Slap slap slap!

The sound of slaps echoed through the house, before long, the village chief and his son’s cheeks swelled up like pig heads. They knelt, swaying side to side, almost unable to hold themselves up.

The village chief might have managed a little better, but Jia Jing, who had been raised in luxury from a young age, had never experienced such pain and hardship.

After the beating, his head throbbed, his body ached, and he harbored deep resentment against everyone present, especially Su Pan’er, who appeared out of nowhere. He glared at her, wishing he could devour her.

"Now you know the pain of being slapped, don’t you?"

Finally, the Hua County Official who had been sitting quietly finally spoke up, "It’s shameful that you, as the village chief, who should serve and speak for the people, set a good example, and do good deeds for the commoners, have instead abused your power for personal gain! And you, allowing your son and subordinates to break the law and turned a blind eye as they caused trouble in the village, bullying innocent girls? Jia Zheng, what punishment do you think you deserve?"

As the Hua County Official spoke, he slammed his hand on the table, scaring the village chief, who fell to the ground on his knees, trembling and knocking his head on the ground over and over again.

"Your honorable county magistrate, I, I am wronged! Your honorable county magistrate, this is absolutely not the case! I beg your honorable county magistrate to see the truth and not wrong the innocent. Your honorable county magistrate!"

The village chief cried out repeatedly, his head knocking on the ground with loud thuds!

The Hua County Official let out a sudden cold laugh.

"Humph! So you’re saying that this county magistrate has wronged you? Is that so?"

"No, no, not at all. Your honor, there must be someone deliberately framing us, making you misunderstand us father and son."

The village chief sobbed, mixed with tears and snot: "As the village chief of Luoyan Village for many decades, I worked diligently day and night, fearing I would make the slightest mistake. How could I possibly commit such evil deeds? I beg the county magistrate to clear my name!"

"Oh, is that really so?"

The county magistrate’s expression seemed to soften.

The village chief could not help feeling a flicker of hope!

It seemed his plea had managed to deceive the county magistrate.

Once today has passed and the county magistrate left, he will swiftly dispose of these despicable knaves who should not have been born into this world!

By then, with no proof or evidence, and with Deputy County Magistrate Su backing him up, even this county magistrate wouldn’t dare to touch him!

He felt a sense of smug satisfaction in his heart, but his face maintained an agonized expression, crying genuine tears of grief!

"Reporting to the county magistrate."

Two officers disguised as government employees entered, saluting, "Sir, we have investigated the matter as you commanded. This Jia Jing is the only son of the village chief, Jia Zheng. He has coerced several women using various deceitful and intimidating methods. We have also learned that one woman, unwilling to endure such humiliation, even committed suicide by jumping into a river."

These words immediately changed the expressions of Jia Zheng and Jia Jing!

"No, no, it’s not true! There’s no such thing, county magistrate, none of this is real, what actually happened was..."

Seeing that his secret was about to be exposed, Jia Zheng cried out in alarm repeatedly!

"What an outrage!"

The Hua County Official slammed a hand on the table and stood up abruptly, "You, as the village chief, dare to let your son run amok, protect criminals, and disregard human life. Your gall is far too big! Guards!"

"Here!"

Several government employees immediately stepped forward.

The Hua County Official pointed at the father and son, "Arrest this criminal who bullied and caused harm to innocent women and this village chief who dared to protect criminals and break the law!"

"Yes, sir!"

The government employees, looking menacing, jingled the chains on their waists and advanced to arrest the culprits.

"No, no, you, you can’t... Let go... Let go... mmph..."

Jia Zheng and Jia Jing struggled desperately, but how could they resist the several chain-wielding government employees? In no time, the two were tied up tightly, even their mouths were stuffed with rags, they couldn’t even yell out!

The government employees dragged the father and son out of the courtyard, and the room immediately became much quieter.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with surprise.

Inside, Su Pan’er marveled at the turn of events. Who would have thought that playing cat and mouse would lead to the crimes committed by the village chief and his son being revealed? It was truly intriguing!

The efficiency of this Hua County Official is really high, quite domineering!

Jun Ruoxue clapped her hands with delight, "Finally, we got rid of these two annoyances! If it weren’t for me, who knows how many other girls would have fallen prey to that Jia Jing! Here, these are yours!"

Jun Ruoxue casually pushed the mutton fat jade and the unopened box in front of her towards Hwa Diexiang.

The Hua County Official smiled lightly, gave her a thumbs up, casually opened the box to reveal four silver ingots lined up in a row. He also carelessly tossed the mutton fat jade in.

"I just can’t believe it. A small-fry village chief, a position that’s hardly worth a grain of sesame, is able to casually produce two hundred silver ingots. It’s laughable, pathetic, and infuriating!"

"It must have been gathered from squeezing the villagers. Just as well, we’ll send it all to the government office as evidence. All of this is thanks to Sister Pan’er’s help."

Jun Ruoxue laughed heartily, "Without your intimidating presence as a deterrent, the group in the grove wouldn’t have backed off so easily just now! If it wasn’t for you, Sister Pan’er, the crimes of those village chiefs wouldn’t have been so easily discovered. Ha ha..."

As she spoke, she let out a genuine laugh.

Su Pan’er gave a wry smile.

It seemed she didn’t do anything, right?

"I didn’t do much, Miss Jun is overpraising," Su Pan’er laughed.

"Still calling me Miss Jun? Didn’t we agree, I call you Sister Pan’er, you call me Xue’er? Sister Pan’er, you’ve got quite the memory."

Jun Ruoxue looked mischievous.

Su Pan’er gladly complied, "Younger sister Xue’er."

By the time everyone had enjoyed their meal, and Hwa Diexiang and Jun Ruoxue set off for the county office, the sun had already set.

Watching the carriage going off into the sunset, Su Pan’er turned around reluctantly.
