Chapter 703: A Couple Who Can't Be Reasonable!

, bowed to the crowd with a smile and introduced everyone."I've checked out all these caves and given them a quick clean. Perhaps because they are high up, no wild animals have come in to settle, ther...Grand Preceptor Yi hastened to unfold the Imperial Edict and read it aloud.

The Chen family, upon hearing that they were sentenced to six months of hard labor on Broken Gold Beach and had to pay double the compensation, burst into tears of joy and wailed with relief.

"Oh, thank goodness!"

"Long live the Emperor, long live!"

They're probably the first in Tianwu history to be so happy doing hard labor!

Someone got too worked up and was buried for so long, they suffocated.

Someone was struggling to climb out, but they were tied up.

But more people were stunned, their expressions dazed, completely unaware that they had escaped the fate of being buried alive...

Li Lao'er received the imperial edict and chatted with Yi, the chief manager. Even Liu Laoye and Mr. Wen also stepped forward to pay their respects.

Yi Zongguan looked at their appearance, a little strange. Mr. Wen called Guo Wenhao over and said a few words to him.

The general manager couldn't help but nod.

He had also heard about the feud between the Li family and the Guo family.

Now, the Guo family only has this young man left. The Li family, disregarding past grievances, has overlooked all their feuds and is even helping with the arrangements for the Guo family's deceased elder. It truly shows their broad-mindedness and genuine humanity.

Actually, when dealing with matters concerning the Li family in his daily life, he would always show some favoritism towards them, whether he reported to the Emperor or not.

For example, if one event of the day was told in two parts, the Emperor would be even more annoyed by the Chen family's disrespect and wouldn't blame the Li family for planning to bury a hundred people alive.

Although just a touch of speaking artistry was used, the results were vastly different.

At the end of the day, what he valued, or liked, was the human touch of the Li family, which made him willing to help them...

At this moment, Jia Yin pouted, looking very much like a little girl throwing a tantrum.

She tugged at Yi Zuo's sleeve and said pitifully, "Yi Zuo, Uncle Huang is biased. These people are carrying a coffin here to curse my grandmother."

"I'll teach them a lesson, Uncle Huang wouldn't mind, would he"

Easy the manager smiled, quickly coaxing, "Miss, Your Majesty is concerned, afraid you're angry, he especially asked this old slave to bring you a message."

The Emperor said, although these people deserved their punishment, they were still a hundred or so lives. As the princess was a girl, carrying such a bad reputation would make it difficult for her to marry in the future.

“So, the Emperor had the Chen family stay at Suijin Beach to work like oxen and horses, to vent the anger of the County Princess. After the investigation is clear, the Chen family will definitely have to apologize to the County Princess.”

Jia Yin reluctantly replied, "Alright, I may not trust the Chen family, but I have to trust Uncle Emperor."

She rolled her eyes and said again, "Manager Yi, the Chen family injured so many people from our family. The medical expenses must be paid by the Chen family, right Then can I go to their door and demand payment"

Yi Zongguan laughed, also guessing that the little girl was unwilling and wanted to go to Chen's house to make trouble.

These are all minor issues, he quickly replied: "To the County Princess, the Emperor said that for all losses at Broken Gold Beach, the Chen family will have to pay double compensation."

As for how to ask, it naturally depends on the county princess's wishes.

Jia Yin was finally satisfied. After thinking for a moment, she called Shui Ling, "Manager Yi attends to the imperial uncle most attentively. No one knows what the imperial uncle likes better than Manager Yi."

"Escort General Yi to my greenhouse and show him around. If there are any fruits or vegetables that Lord Huang likes, ask General Yi to pick some extra to take back to the palace."

“Oh my, this is all thanks to the County Princess. The Emperor hasn't been feeling well these past few days, and with the freshest delicacies here at the County Princess's residence, I must shamelessly ask for more today!” Yi, the head steward, laughed as he bowed in gratitude. He then followed Shui Ling into the village.

Li Lao Tai and Tao Hongying, seeing this, also followed back.

Jia Yin glanced at the Chen family in the pit.

They thought they were saved, but after this long delay, half of them were starting to roll their eyes in exasperation.

Jia Yin pretended not to see him and simply said a few words to her second uncle.

Li Laoer nodded, his gaze falling on Chen Erlaoye without a trace.

He had also heard that Chen Er Ye's words were not right just now, perhaps he could find the key to Chen He's death on him...

Soon, the Chen family members who had been thrown into the pit were pulled out like cabbages, one after another, their bonds loosened.

After a narrow escape from death, many people were left weak and unable to get up.

Their pants were soaked in feces and urine, even mixed with dirt, the stench was overpowering and made everyone disgusted.

Li Laer pretended to be impatient and shouted, “Take these three useless people from the Chen family to the village, treat their wounds, don't let them die, and think carefully about finding some work for them.”

As for the rest of them, make them chop wood and gather thatch. Find a vacant space to build shelters and hearths. Throw in a few bags of grain; just enough to keep them from starving or freezing to death. That's all they need.

"Let them start working tomorrow, supervised by the villagers."

"Remember to register and get your names on the list. Anyone who dares to run away will be treated as a fugitive, reported to the Jingzhao Mansion, and brought back to be beheaded."

The village head and villagers all responded in unison, then quickly divided the work among themselves and got busy.

Li Lao Si was talking to Jia Dun and others. Jia Dun and the others came to help, naturally they couldn't just let them go back like this.

Then, Li Laosì invited them home for lunch.

Jia Dun and the others were all excited and happy, ordering dishes one after another.

Especially Jia Dun, the first one to shout out loud about wanting to eat fried meatballs...

Jia Yin looked at those idlers who were still lingering around and called over Lao Hei and the others, as well as the women from Xincun and Ercun. After giving them a few simple instructions, she had Chen He's coffin loaded onto the cart and drove straight to the city to collect debts.

Although the Chen family was tormented and had half their lives taken away, and they will still be forced to do hard labor in the future, this is not enough to atone for their mistakes today.

Jia Yin's job is to make up the difference.

Old Hei rode into the city ahead of time and went to the relief agency to find Ye Tong. He asked him a few questions.

Since being loaned to Li Lao Er as his apprentice, Ye Tong has been hiding behind the scenes.

For the ins and outs of Xin Du and various families' past affairs, as well as the intricate schemes on the imperial court, Li La Er lacked nothing in guidance from him.

Even the connections that Li Zhensheng left behind, those of all ranks and backgrounds, Li Lao Er was unable to contact directly because he was protecting them.

Since he was given a task by his master, of course, there was nothing he wouldn't do.

Soon, Jia Yin arrived at the Chen family's doorstep with people in tow, and Lao Hei also arrived with precise information.

In Chen's courtyard, Madam Chen was turning her rosary beads, sitting restlessly.

She whispered to her two sisters-in-law, “Today’s events were too rash. The Li family of Suijintan has a good reputation, and it is also the fiefdom of Princess Kangle. What if the Li family reports us to the emperor…”

"Sister-in-law, you've been a vegetarian and praying for so many years, how come you don't even have the courage anymore" Mrs. Chen Er raised her eyebrows and sneered, looking down on this cowardly sister-in-law.

She went on to say, "What's the Li family Claiming to be a county princess, she's nothing but a little girl!"

They killed our Ge'er and drove our grandmother to her grave! We just wanted to vent our anger, to let off some steam. What's wrong with that We weren't going to kill them or dismember them!

Chen Chuan's wife had cried until her eyes were swollen and red. She truly felt sorry for her son.

Remembering her son's tragic death, she gnashed her teeth in hatred and angrily said: "Second sister-in-law is right, I wish to eat Li family's flesh and chew their bones!"

"My dear He'er, such a good boy, to die like this! Even if it wasn't that Li family killer who deliberately harmed him, he can't escape responsibility. "

"Why am I the one crying my eyes out, while they're still able to celebrate the New Year!"

It's true what they say, blood is thicker than water.

The couple are both unreasonable!

At that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the two doors, with cries of agony and shattering sounds coming intermittently.

The three sisters-in-law were all surprised. Chen Erfu stood up and asked, "What happened Did the master and his companions come back"

She was answered by a deafening roar and the sudden bang of her gate being kicked open…

Four updates are offered, finally the first one owed chapter is back!Yin thought about it and said, "Getting married sooner or later doesn't really matter, does it, Princess sister" 。You're not married to someone in the southwest, thousands of miles away. It's not easy...
