Chapter 1165 - Chapter 1165 1165 beatings with a stick 2 times

Chapter 1165: 1165 beatings with a stick 2 times Chapter 1165: 1165 beatings with a stick 2 times “That lowly daughter of yours, getting played by several men is one thing, but she’s always complaining that I don’t have money, comparing me to Xiao Yuchuan all day long.

If the government officials don’t beat her, I’d want to beat her to death myself!”

“You!” Liu Zheng’s eyes nearly rolled back in anger.

Smack smack smack!

Two officials, one on each side, struck Liu Xianglian with heavy blows from their paddles, her screams of agony unceasing.

Fearing the county magistrate, Liu Zheng listened to her daughter’s wailing but still shouted, “Officials, please stop beating her!”

The two officials paid her no heed.

With no other choice, Liu Zheng braved herself to rush into the yard, “County Magistrate, it’s an injustice, my girl is ignorant, she didn’t intentionally frame Chuan!

I beg you, adult, spare my daughter!

I’m kneeling for you, kowtowing!”

Zheng Dejun picked up the tea cup from the tea table, “Who are you?”

“I am Liu Zheng’s wife, the birth mother of Liu Xianglian…”

The administrative clerk shouted, “Enough, you shrew!

In front of the adult, stop with that wailing and cursing like a fishwife.

Slandering crimes vary in severity, and your daughter has falsely accused someone of a capital offense without any evidence.

By law, she should receive at least fifty heavy beatings and be imprisoned.

Giving your daughter only twenty is already showing great leniency.

The adult is managing a case here, and you and your daughter are disrupting official duties, which adds to the crime!”

“Drag Liu Zheng’s wife down and give her twenty beatings as well,” ordered Zheng Dejun again.

If these troublesome villagers and shrews aren’t punished, wouldn’t all the trivial complaints that come afterward be incessant trouble?

As if he had nothing better to do.

Liu Zheng’s wrinkled face collapsed in an instant; just about to wail on the ground, she immediately remembered the clerk’s words about not crying or cursing in front of the adult, fearing a heavier punishment, so she reluctantly allowed her pale face to be dragged away by two other officials.

“Ah ah ah!”

“Ah ah ah!”

Liu Zheng and Liu Xianglian were beaten at the same time, mother and daughter competing over who could scream more miserably, whose voice could screech louder.

The other villagers closed in to watch the spectacle, their ears almost bursting from the two’s piercing screams, prompting some to cover their ears.

The officials’ paddles were no joke.

After just a few strikes, bruises were already forming on both women’s buttocks.

In Hua Lizheng’s family’s lobby, Zheng Dejun leisurely sipped tea while the administrative clerk attended to him.

Both wore expressions of jaded apathy, unmoved by the wails outside.

Su Qingyue, standing to the side, took great satisfaction in the scene, watching the villagers’ reactions with evident excitement.

“Oh, Master Bailiff is hitting them so well!” Zhao Mo-shi, in the crowd, began to applaud, “The officials don’t know, but this Liu Xianglian is a promiscuous woman.

She and my husband Zhao Wu started their affair while chopping wood on the mountain.

Rumor has it, before my husband got to her, she had just finished with Wang Dashui from the village.

Not only did this adulteress not suffice, but when I confronted her…”

Zhao Mo-shi rolled up her sleeve, “Master Bailiff…

guys, look, Liu Xianglian even hit me, she pinched my hand so hard it turned blue, it infuriated me so much I haven’t eaten in days!”

“Exactly!” Wang Yang, the wife of Wang Dashui, also piped up, “Master Bailiff, this woman Liu Xianglian is utterly despicable.

Back when Xiao Yuchuan was poor, she wouldn’t give him a second glance.

Now that he’s rich, she throws herself at him shamelessly.

When Chuan wouldn’t have her, she started seducing my husband, Wang Dashui.

My husband confessed that every time they went to chop wood on the mountain, Liu Xianglian seduced him, making my husband do the labor-intensive work of chopping wood for her.”
