Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Looking at the thieving couple standing at the door, Heng Yi didn’t feel pity for them, but disgust.

Did they think that he would sympathize with them just because they had made themselves look dirty? However, they did not know that he had already turned cold to them. Even if they only looked dirty on the outside, but clean on the inside… Even if they were to die, he would not shed a tear.

They had planted the seeds in the past, now they were to reap them. No matter what fruits they sow, they couldn’t blame it on anybody but themselves.

“My Fifth Son…” Old Woman Heng wailed and was about to kneel before Heng Yi when Dong Lai immediately pulled her back.

“Son, it’s Mother’s fault. It’s all Mother’s fault. Mother has let you down. Mother knows her mistake.”

Old Woman Heng wailed loudly.

She thought that there would be more people coming out to watch the show. However, as she howled, Heng Yi watched. The doors of the neighboring houses were tightly shut, and even the occasional passerby quickly left without stopping to look.

Sometimes, there was a big difference between a merchant and an officer. Even though Heng Yi was still a constable, the neighbors would not meddle in other people’s business, and they would not allow their servants to watch the bustle in the Heng Manor.

Old Woman Heng howled, while Heng Yi stood on the steps and watched indifferently.

Old Man Heng’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He stepped forward and pulled Old Woman Heng.

Old Woman Heng looked at him blankly,”?”

Old Man Heng took a deep breath and said to Heng Yi, “Fifth Son, your mother and I have been on the road for half a day—”

“Is that why you’re covered in mud?” Heng Yi asked coldly.

“But do you dare to take off your shoes and coat and let others see if you’re truly dirty underneath?”

Old Man Heng was stunned.

Heng Yi continued, “You should have arrived at Puyi County yesterday and stayed at Heng Silang’s house. You must have seen his family earlier, so you deliberately made yourselves dirty. You thought that I would let you in after you made a scene at the door.”

If it was in the past, Heng Yi wouldn’t be able to see through their actions so clearly, let alone discover their intentions.

However, as an officer, there were many things he had to do. He had to observe every case carefully and not miss any clues.

After all, the truth was hidden in plain sight.

“Stop pretending. Come in,” Heng Yi turned around.

Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng were stunned on the spot.

Seeing Heng Yi leave, the two immediately followed.

After entering his big house, the two of them were simply overwhelmed. The house was exquisite.

In the hall, Heng Yi sat on the main seat.

The two of them were stunned by Heng Yi’s actions.

Old Woman Heng pulled the Old Man Heng out.

Old Man Heng thought that even though Heng Yi wasn’t his biological son, he had raised him for so many years. If this kid dared to be unfilial, he would go around telling everyone.

He lived in such a big house, yet his parents had to live outside.

Shu Lan immediately served tea and left.

Old Woman Heng’s eyes widened.

There were even maids serving them.

Oh heavens.

Heng Yi said blandly, “Drink the tea. If you have anything to say, just say it. Leave after you’ve agreed. You’re not welcome in my house. You can forget about staying here.”

“Don’t challenge my patience, and don’t challenge my humanity. If you make things difficult for me, 1 won’t let you have it easy either.”

“Kill a person and throw him into the deep mountains and forests. The wild beasts will eat him up cleanly, not even leaving behind a bone.”

“This is the last time I’m going to say something like this to you. The next time you come to cause trouble, I’ll start with Han Dalang’s sons. Every time you come, I’ll kill one. If you come twice, I’ll kill two.”

Han Qiao was pregnant and impatient to deal with the Heng family.

He wanted to end the future troubles with them.

This was the first time Heng Yi sounded and looked so powerful.

He was ruthless.

He sat upright on his chair.

Old Woman Heng was so frightened that her face turned pale.

She cursed out of habit, “You ingrate, I—”

“Hm.”

She widened her eyes as she watched Heng Yi swiftly grab Old Man Heng’s neck, propping him up.

This was the first time they noticed how tali and strong Heng Yi was.

He grabbed Old Man Heng’s neck as he kept struggling.

His eyes were filled with fear.

“I’ve had enough of you. One of you keeps throwing a tantrum, while the other doesn’t say anything but both of you are full of evil intentions.”

Old Woman Heng stepped forward, trying to save Old Man Heng.

Heng Yi pushed him away.

They staggered and fell to the ground, “Aiyo, aiyo,” The old woman screamed endlessly.

Old Man Heng was strangled and almost suffocated.

His eyes were filled with fear.

He never dreamed that Heng Yi would do such a bold thing to him.

Heng Yi threw Old Man Heng to Old Woman Heng’s side.

“Ah ,” Old man Heng coughed non-stop.

Old Woman Heng patted his back. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

For the first time, the couple felt fear.

“Tell me, why are you looking for me?” Heng Yi said indifferently.

He talked as if he hadn’t almost killed someone.

Old Woman Heng helped him up.

This time, she did not dare to speak casually.

“I… 1 came to ask my daughter-in-law, when will she give me that gold bracelet?”

In the end, she still wanted money.

“Say it all at once,” Heng Yi said.

“It’s almost the new year. I… I came to ask, will you return this year’s filial piety silver?” Old Woman Heng asked again.

“Wait here,” Heng Yi stood up.

He knew where the gold bracelet was.

Han Qiao was not petty, but he still had to ask her about this.

Han Qiao also knew that Old Man Heng and Old Woman Heng had come over to their house.

Heng Yi went to find Han Qiao, who was also coming over to the living room.

In the hall, Old Woman Heng told Old Man Heng, “Heng Yi is crazy… He’s crazy!”

Old Man Heng knew that Heng Yi wasn’t crazy.

He was just more ruthless than in the past and had grown up.

The threat just now was not just a threat.

He saw the killing intent in Heng Yi’s eyes.

For a person who had entered the mountains to hunt and had seen blood, the killing intent in his gaze was even stronger than that of ordinary people.

“Dear…” Old Woman Heng called out softly, about to cry.

Yesterday, when they were with Heng Silang, he didn’t say anything about his fifth brother. Heng Silang’s wife was also polite, but she was different from before.

Old Fourth and his wife earned money from hard work. She didn’t know how much they earned, but their hands were covered in frostbite, and Silang’s face was also cracked from the cold wind.

Old Woman Heng couldn’t bear to ask her fourth son for money.

After a night of discussion with her husband, they decided to ask Heng Yi for some money.

Old Woman Heng also wanted the gold bracelet back.

Who knew that Heng Yi would go crazy…

“Shut up,” Old Man Heng said in a deep voice.

His throat was very cold.

He thought that the next time he came here, he should not cause any more trouble.

If there was something to say, he would say it. After obtaining the benefits, they would leave immediately.

They could forget about living in this big house.

Han Qiao saw Heng Yi’s dark expression and quickly went up to him, “Did those two old things bully you again?”

Heng Yi was stunned.

He smiled again, “No, I’m tough today.”

“I didn’t let them bully me. 1 even scared them.”

“It’s just that…”

Han Qiao was surprised and held Heng Yi’s hand, “I know what to do. Leave the rest to me.”

She asked Duan Yue to bring the gold bracelet over.

It didn’t matter whether she gave it to Old Woman Heng or not.

However, the last time Old Woman Heng came to stay, she was already like that. This time, she came again.

First, it was for the gold bracelet. Second, it was for the filial piety silver, and also for the New Year gift that was about to be given.

She didn’t want Heng Yi to worry.

“I’ll go with you.”

“Alright.”

When Han Qiao and Heng Yi walked into the hall, Old Woman Heng and Old Man Heng’s faces were still filled with fear.

Heng Yi must have scared them..
