Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1522: Taking Out Anger [Lantern Festival Greetings]

These Rong People’s Witch Army are very clever and meticulous in their work, it’s very hard to deceive them.

However, they managed to do it!

Not only did they survive, but they also deceived the Rong People’s Witch Army, making them believe they were mere thieves with no master behind them, and they even implicated the Yang Family, dragging them into prison to be punished!

"Brother~" Xiao Erliu also woke up. Seeing Er Ping laughing at Housekeeper Yang, he too grinned and ridiculed Housekeeper Yang, making a face and cursing, "Fool!"

Housekeeper Yang was furious and shouted, "It was them, those two thieves poisoned themselves, we were framed!"

With a bang, Squad Leader Wan punched Housekeeper Yang again, angrily saying, "You dog slave, still won’t stop? Fine, I’ll personally punish you, so you can never act up again!"

He kicked the back of Housekeeper Yang’s legs, twisted his arm, and dragged him to the deep Punishment Room in the prison.

Housekeeper Yang was very angry. With his skills, it would have been easy to kill Squad Leader Wan and escape.

But he couldn’t do it; he is no longer the dignified Troop Commander of the Golden Tent Witch Army, just a housekeeper of the Yang Family... a household servant of a merchant family, what ability does he have to defeat a squad leader?

Housekeeper Yang suppressed the raging anger in his heart, turned back to glare at the Yang Family’s servants, warning them not to blow their cover!

Even though the Yang Family’s servants felt it was a great shame to be punished by the lowly people of Great Chu, they held back for the greater plan.

In the prison cell, Magistrate Jin said to Clan Chief Wan, "Elder Wan, I’m sorry for the grievance. Rest assured, this office will ensure justice for you, I won’t let your search be in vain."

Elder Yang was shocked to hear this, hurriedly taking out a stack of silver notes and secretly stuffed them into Steward Hu’s hand, pleading, "Steward Hu, you’re the favorite of Lord Magistrate, this is the servants’ fault, I will punish them once they’re released, please help speak a few good words, don’t let Lord Magistrate take his anger out on the Yang Family~"

Steward Hu did not reject such silver notes, deftly pocketing them into his sleeve’s inner pocket, saying three words to Elder Yang: "I’ll try."

Magistrate Jin noticed all this but didn’t scold Steward Hu. Compared to those other magistrates who destroy entire families, he just takes silver notes from wealthy families; truly, he’s a good official.

Clan Chief Wan said, "This little grievance is nothing, I’m just afraid someone would frame my eldest son."

If today they truly found yellow stone poison powder on Doctor Dai, Squad Leader Wan would be implicated too; even with Mr. Ying’s protection, he might have to leave the government office, unable to remain a squad leader.

After all, it was Squad Leader Wan who brought Doctor Dai into the prison.

Magistrate Jin said, "Elder Wan, rest assured, everything has been clarified, it was not Doctor Dai who poisoned."

Assistant Judge Lao immediately asked, "Then who exactly poisoned with the yellow stone poison? We need to find out, don’t we?"

Magistrate Jin sneered, "Assistant Judge Lao, you seem very concerned about this matter. There are only two groups of outsiders in this prison, Doctor Dai’s group was checked and found to have no poison, but the Yang Family’s servants have not been checked. Housekeeper Yang tried several times to bring Gao Dong’s brothers to the Yang Family to use private punishment. Now, who do you think placed the yellow stone poison?"

These words already attributed the poisoning to the Yang Family’s servants.

Assistant Judge Lao said, "The lord has a point, but the Yang Family’s servants weren’t hiding any yellow stone poison, either."

"The Yang Family’s lot posing as grandsons’ heirs with such arrogance, who dares to search them? Who knows if they hid poison or not?" Magistrate Jin retorted, seeing Assistant Judge Lao was about to speak again, he glared at Elder Yang and shouted, "Yang, your family’s servants disregard the law, openly conspiring in the prison to harm prisoners and frame the Kangrong Company Commander and the government squad leader, you as the master should face the same crime!"

He continued, "Out of consideration that you’ve already been beaten, I’ll be lenient, you must submit a fine of thirty thousand taels of silver to the government office, and compensate Clan Chief Wan and Doctor Dai each a thousand taels of silver. Quickly get your servants to bring the silver, once the fine is paid, you can return home!"

This meant to detain Elder Yang in the prison.

Elder Yang was stupefied, hurriedly looking towards Steward Hu, trying to grab his sleeve to retrieve the stack of silver notes, but was blocked by Steward Hu: "Elder Yang, Lord Magistrate is already showing mercy, you should be grateful, quickly have your servants return to fetch the silver notes, otherwise, you’ll rot in prison."

Steward Hu’s words about rotting made everyone dry heave again.

Magistrate Jin was feeling nauseous again, glared at Steward Hu, really wondering why he had to mention that; just when he was getting used to the stench, with that mention, he retched up again: "Assistant Judge Lao, let’s go out."

Assistant Judge Lao found the prison stench disgusting, yet still wanted to help the Yang Family, but with Magistrate Jin’s orders, he had to give face and pointed at Qin San Lang and the others: "You all come out too!"

It’s all these damn poor soldiers’ fault; if it weren’t for them, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened!

"We’ll come out, no need to shout!" Niu Dabao’s explosive temper flared up, seeing Assistant Judge Lao’s unpleasant tone, he ferociously shouted back, nearly causing Assistant Judge Lao to cough up blood.

But the prison was too smelly, Assistant Judge Lao couldn’t bear it, an acid surge made him rush out with hands covering his mouth, vomiting profusely outside.

Niu Dabao and the others carried out Clan Chief Wan, Er Ping, and Xiao Erliu, so they were a moment late.

Squad Leader Wan also rushed over from the Punishment Room.

In that moment, Magistrate Jin scolded Assistant Judge Lao, saying even if he had connections with Prince Yi from Dongqing Country, he shouldn’t help anyone indiscriminately, raising the guts of the Yang Family’s servants, leading to today’s incident.

Assistant Judge Lao was fuming, knowing Magistrate Jin was truly angry today, dared not confront him, redirected his anger at Niu Dabao and the others, and started cursing when he saw them: "What are you soldiers doing here? Coming to the prison of the government office? What gives you the right to be here? What army’s soldiers are you? Who’s your main general? Report everything honestly, I will report to the court, and punish you all!"

Niu Dabao was enraged, pointed at him and said: "You’ve got the nerve to scold us? I want to ask you, why is the stuff in Beicang Prefecture empty? We were to resist the Rong people’s invasion, needing to buy equipment, materials, livestock, and food, but none of these are available in town, and even when available, people wouldn’t sell to us. We had no choice but to rely on the kindness of Qin San Lang’s family doctor to save Wan Liubao’s life and sought Squad Leader Wan’s help, and you still suspect us?!"

He added: "And you dare suspect us, I want to ask if your government office colluded with the Rong people, not selling those things to us Kangrong soldiers? You want us to fight them empty-handed and be killed by the Rong people!"

Niu Dabao was truly angry, yelling these words in one breath, leaving Assistant Judge Lao bewildered: "That’s a crime enough to annihilate entire families, don’t falsely accuse me and ruin me!"

Magistrate Jin hurriedly said: "Company Commander Niu, these words concern the entire Beicang Prefecture Government, they cannot be spoken carelessly."

He continued: "You misunderstood, the goods in Beicang Prefecture weren’t bought by disguised Rong people, but were purchased by people sent by Prince Yi of Dongqing Country."
