Chapter 104 Poisoning
"Okay, thank you, County Magistrate, for making the decision for me." Li Xiaoxiao's face was as bright as a flower, in stark contrast to Zhang Wenbin's gloomy face standing beside her.
Soon Zhang Yaozu had someone bring her fifty taels of silver and took out the execution equipment. Zhang Wenbin unwillingly lay on it. The two executioners naturally recognized Zhang Wenbin and beat him again and again. Although they used the smallest force, after twenty consecutive beatings, his skin was still torn.
In the end, Zhang Wenbin was carried away, his buttocks were bright red. When he was carried to the side of Li Xiaoxiao, he raised his hands with difficulty and shouted, "Stop."
Li Xiaoxiao squatted down and looked at Zhang Wenbin at this moment, feeling very happy: "Mr. Zhang, how do you feel?"
"Stop talking nonsense and give it to me." Zhang Wenbin grimaced in pain, feeling his butt was broken. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but he didn't dare to.
Li Xiaoxiao calmly took out a red chocolate candy from her bosom, handed it to him, and warned: "I am a kind-hearted girl, so I will spare you this time. If it happens again, you can let your father collect your body directly."
Zhang Wenbin glared at him angrily, and looking at her smiling face like a flower, he regretted why he had to insist on marrying her. She was a female villain.
At the same time, he was glad that he didn't marry her, otherwise, with her temper, he would die in her hands sooner or later.
But he couldn't swallow this humiliation. He would avenge today's grudge sooner or later.
The backyard of the county government office.
Two crisp slapping sounds were heard. Li Jiaojiao covered her red face and dared not say a word. County Magistrate Zhang Yaozu seemed to be still unsatisfied and kicked her hard again. Li Jiaojiao did not dare to dodge and was kicked far away.
Her body suddenly hit the wall and Li Jiaojiao felt pain all over. In this family, she was just a concubine, or to put it nicely, her status was slightly higher than that of a servant. Today, Zhang Wenbin was beaten with twenty sticks because of her, so Zhang Yaozu would definitely take his anger out on her.
Regardless of the pain in her body, Li Jiaojiao crawled to Zhang Yaozu on her knees, kowtowed to him, and apologized: "It's all my fault, father-in-law, please punish me."
"Dad, beat her, beat this bitch hard." Zhang Wenbin, who was lying on the bed, had changed his clothes. There was blood oozing from his buttocks. He shouted angrily.
Zhang Yaozu glanced at his son lying on the bed, then looked at Li Jiaojiao, whose face was red and swollen, her hair and clothes were disheveled, and who was sobbing quietly. He instantly lost his mind.
"Get lost!" Zhang Yaozu felt annoyed when he saw her look.
Li Jiaojiao felt as if she had been pardoned. She left quickly, still saying, "Thank you, father-in-law, thank you, father-in-law."
There were only two of them left in the room.
Zhang Yaozu, with a gloomy face and a big fat belly, walked to the bed and asked, "Tell me what's going on?"
Zhang Wenbin cried out in pain and told him everything that happened in a disjointed manner. Zhang Yaozu frowned even more tightly after hearing this, and asked with suspicion: "Are you sure you were poisoned?"
"It was poisoning, Dad. Li Xiaoxiao gave me medicine while I was unconscious. When I woke up, I felt numb all over and had difficulty walking. Later, I agreed to her request, and she gave me medicine to relieve the symptoms. The medicine was indeed strange, and it tasted a little sweet, like candy or something, but not really. I have never eaten it before." Zhang Wenbin carefully recalled the taste of the antidote. It was a little different the second time, but the taste was almost the same.
"You're feeling much better now after taking the antidote." Zhang Yaozu had only one son and cared about him very much, even though his son was uneducated and had many bad habits.
"Dad, I'm much better now, but I just can't swallow this anger. And that bitch Li Jiaojiao, if it weren't for her bad idea, I wouldn't have ended up like this today." Zhang Wenbin became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and when something went wrong, he blamed all the responsibility on Li Jiaojiao.
"Li Xiaoxiao must be dealt with, but Li Jiaojiao cannot be touched for the time being." Zhang Yaozu's face was gloomy, and his eyes, as big as green beans, were shining coldly.
"Why is this happening?" Zhang Wenbin had been lying like this, and while speaking he forgot that he was still injured. He subconsciously wanted to turn over, but as soon as he moved, the pain from his butt made him tremble all over. He slowly lay down again, not daring to move again.
"Please bear with it for a few days. I have read the articles written by Li Jiaojiao's father. He has done quite well in academics and may pass the imperial examination this year. If he passes, it will be a great help to you. You must not get into unpleasantness with him over a trivial matter at this critical juncture." Zhang Yaozu explained.
"I understand. I'll be taking the imperial examination in a few days. I'll ask Li Dajiang to go with me and build a good relationship with him in advance." Zhang Wenbin naturally knew the pros and cons of this. If Li Dajiang could really pass the exam, his future career would be much easier.
"This is also the reason why I didn't punish Li Jiaojiao severely today."
"Li Xiaoxiao, just wait for me to come back and deal with her myself." Zhang Wenbin felt really ashamed when he thought about what happened today. He must get it back double.
After leaving the county government gate, the onlookers all gave Li Xiaoxiao a thumbs up. Zhang Wenbin could be said to be a big bully in Jiunu County, and everyone wanted to kill him. But because his father was the county magistrate, no one could do anything to him. He bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil. Today, Li Xiaoxiao could be said to have set a precedent and made him suffer such a big loss.
"The girl is really brave. She actually dared to sue Zhang Wenbin."
"I really have to thank the girl for helping us all out."
"Not only that, in the afternoon, Zhang Wenbin was thrown into the lake. At first, we didn't know who did it and blamed the girl for blocking us from going into the water to save him. Now we have to apologize for what happened in the afternoon." The speakers were villagers living near the lakeside pavilion. They witnessed the entire process of the incident and were now vividly describing to others what they had seen and heard, praising Li Xiaoxiao as something unique in this world.
"I did this because he posed a threat to my family. I cannot accept your praise in the face of everyone. Bye." Li Xiaoxiao was not used to the feeling of being praised and quickly left the crowd.
They walked for a long time before stopping. Si Chengxu's eyes were sharp. Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's hurried walk, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Li Xiaoxiao happened to turn around and saw this scene: "Mr. Si, I made money today, and it is also your contribution. How about I treat you to a meal?" Li Xiaoxiao took out the purse from his arms and shook it twice in the air. He felt good about the money he had earned.
Hearing the three words "Mr. Si", Si Chengxu's originally raised mouth corners immediately returned to normal, ignoring Li Xiaoxiao and continued walking: "It's not a big deal, go home, you do it."
