Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 74 Nonsense
"I didn't bring shame to the Xue family!" Xue Lingyao covered her burning cheeks and cried aggrievedly, "Those people were clearly talking about Shen Zhao, why did you hit me?"

Xue Song looked at his daughter with disappointment: "Lingyao, what did your father teach you in the past? Have you ever done anything to correct your mind, behave properly, know etiquette, and have a sense of shame?"

He turned around and shouted at Xue Yi, "Kneel down too! Tell me! What happened today? Why did you take your sister to Yuli Township?"

It was the first time Xue Yi had seen his father so furious. He was so scared that he fell to the ground. "Father, it was the sister-in-law from the Qin family who insisted on taking us to visit Yuli Township. Sister, you couldn't refuse, so you went. I was afraid that you would be bullied by others, so I had to go with you."

Xue Lingyao sobbed and interrupted, "My daughter was just visiting the Gao family. She didn't do anything inappropriate. It was you, father, who barged in and threatened others. Those people said that because they were angry."

"Get out of here!" Xue Song didn't want to see his daughter even once, and shouted, "From now on, you are not allowed to leave the house without your parents' permission!"

Xue Lingyao was startled, burst into tears, got up and ran into the house.

Seeing this, Wang followed in and said, "Don't be afraid, Lingyao. Mother believes in you."

Xue Song sat dejectedly on the mat, with one hand on the low table, staring at Xue Yi: "Yier, it's just you and me now, tell your father the truth, what exactly do you and the Qin family's daughter-in-law want to do?"

Xue Yi wiped his tears and said softly, "Dad, I was wrong. It was Auntie Qin who asked you to do her a favor. She said that she wanted you to dress up as Shen Zhao and go to Yuli Township for a tour, and then she would give you 200 coins."

"So you went to a stranger's house in a foreign country? And flirted with him?"

Xue Song's eyebrows twitched, and he suppressed his anger and asked, "If your father didn't leave Yulixiang today, and your sister was defiled by those two men, what would you do?"

Xue Yi prostrated himself again and said in a sobbing voice, "The child has no choice but to die to atone for his sin."

He buried his face in his sleeves, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.

"Yier, go inside and copy the family motto ten times." Xue Song waved his hand tiredly, "Keep an eye on your sister in the future. If something like this happens again, you'd better make the best of it."

"Yes!" Xue Yi kowtowed to his father, bent down and left the main room.

Xue Song pinched his brows, wondering whether he should tell the Shen family about what happened today?

After much thought, he decided to keep it secret for the time being, because once it was revealed, not only would Lingyao's reputation be damaged, but he would also not be able to hold his head up in front of others.

Forget it, forget it. I'd better go home less often in the future. It won't be too late to inform the Shen family after the situation has calmed down.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the brothers Yu Lixiang and Feng Laizi came to the Shen family with two sheep.

There were many people who came with them to watch the fun.

"Is Shen Zhao home? Your husband is here to propose to you!"

The Feng Laizi brothers were bachelors and scoundrels to begin with, and now relying on the support of the village treasurer Gao Jia, they walked straight into the Shen family's yard and shouted loudly.

Shen Heng and his sister happened to be at home and came out when they heard the noise.

"Do you want to die?" Shen Heng got furious when he saw two ugly bald-headed men calling his sister's name.

Feng Laizi ignored him and looked straight at Shen Zhao with his eyes covered with yellow eye mucus: "A Zhao, it feels like a long time since we last met. Did you miss us brothers after we parted yesterday?"

Shen Zhao looked at the two of them coldly: "Say it again?"

Feng Laizi laughed and said, "Madam Zhao."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Heng had already kicked Feng Laizi, directly kicking him out of the yard and sending him flying to the ground.

"You son of a bitch! Are you blind? How dare you come to my house to make trouble?" Shen Heng grabbed another Feng Laizi and dragged him out of the yard.

"Why are you from the Shen family beating people?" The people who came from Yulixiang shouted loudly, eager to attack Shen Heng.

Shen Heng: "I'm going to hit you! You dare to come to my Shen family and humiliate my sister? You are blind!"

"Who bullied whom? It was your sister who shamelessly went to the Feng family to hook up with Feng the Laizi, and now she wants to deny her debt, no way!" Several Yulixiang people shouted, as if they wanted everyone to hear. "Who do you think would hook up with such a Laizi?" Shen Heng picked up an iron fork from the wall and walked out.

Several young men followed him, some holding carrying poles, some holding brooms, and glared fiercely at the dozen or so strangers.

Seeing this, the people of Yuli Village quickly retreated. Only Feng Laizi and his brother who had climbed up from the ground were still shouting: "Do you, the Shen family, want to bully others? I am not afraid of you! Shen Zhao slept with my brother and me yesterday, and now you want to deny your debt?"

Puff! Blood splattered.

Shen Ang came out from nowhere and stabbed Feng Laizi in the chest with a sword.

A man named Feng Laizi covered his chest with his hands and stared at Shen Ang in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but finally fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked.

The other Feng Laizi's pants got wet on the spot, and his legs were shaking like sieves.

Shen Ang drew back his iron sword, wiped the blood on the fallen Feng Laizi, and said calmly, "This man is extremely arrogant. He gathered a group of people to attack my Shen family. Shen was acting in self-defense and had no choice but to execute him on the spot."

A dozen Yulixiang people were so frightened that they fled in all directions: "Murder! The Shen family killed someone!"

Shen Heng didn't want to let these people go, so he chased after them with a group of teenagers and finally caught three of them.

Feng Laizi, who was not dead, was also tied up by Shen De and his men and thrown to the ground.

Shen Ang waved his hand and said, "Take them to the township office and hand them over to the township governor for a thorough interrogation. I will never let the person behind this go."

These people were obviously here to destroy Ah Zhao's reputation. If he didn't find that person and kill him, he would have lived his thirty or forty years in vain.

So a group of people took the four people to the township office and dumped the bodies outside the office.

Shen Ang exaggerated the story and concluded, "Three Elders, Mr. Treasurer, I kindly advised these people to leave, but I didn't expect them to attack me. Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have been the one to be stabbed."

The neighbors who followed all echoed: "Yes! If it weren't for Shen Tingjun's quick reaction, these people would have succeeded in the assassination."

The kidnapped people shouted loudly: "They are lying! We didn't stab him. It was the Shen family who broke off the engagement and stabbed Feng Laizi to death."

The village headman asked curiously, "The Shen family broke off the engagement? Whose engagement?"

"Feng Laizi!" Yu Lixiang and others said in unison.

"Who is Feng Laizi?"

"It's the one lying on the ground!" Everyone in Yulixiang pointed at the frightened bald man.

The village treasurer took a look and frowned: "Is this kind of thing engaged to the Shen family? I think you guys won't admit it unless you fight!"

"Someone, come! Give them some relief first!"

Several village guards immediately knocked the men to the ground and started hitting them with sticks.

The four of them immediately howled like ghosts and wolves, shouting, "It was clearly the daughter of the Shen family who went to Feng Laizi's house for a secret meeting. We saw it with our own eyes yesterday."

The three elders got angry when they heard this: "Yesterday? I was at the Inn yesterday, and the daughter of the Shen family was cooking for us. The village officials saw it with their own eyes. How dare you lie?"

Several people were stunned, even Feng Laizi stopped calling out, and just stared blankly at the three elders.

At this moment, Shen Zhao and his mother brought several young men to the Xue family, pointed at Xue Lingyao and her brother and said, "Tie them up!"

　Thank you for your continued support!
