Chapter 445 - 445 Wasn’t in vain

445 Wasn’t in vain

Shi Qingluo fed Dumby a handful of goose food.

Then, she scratched its neck and comforted it. “Call your wives and children over.”

Only then did Dumby turn its head unwillingly and call out a few times to the dozens of geese that were still attacking.

What was amazing was that the geese, which were biting hard, immediately stopped when they called.

And one by one, they surrounded Shi Qingluo.

Shi Qingluo poured out all the goose food in her purse and gave it to them. “Good, you’ve all worked hard!”

The geese quaked at her as they ate.

It was as if they were saying that it wasn’t difficult.

All of them looked like roosters who had won a fight, and they were very proud.

“These big geese are too smart.”

“It’s so spiritual. They were indeed worthy to be raised by the old immortal’s disciple.”

“Especially Dumby. I think it’s too human, as if it’s a spirit.”

“That’s true. Dumby is the smartest and most powerful goose king in Heyang County.”

“Yes, yes. I have a goose at home. It’s usually quite fierce, but it’s very obedient in front of Dumby.”

“Is this the immortal pet that the old immortal sent to protect Mdm Shi? That’s why its so fierce and smart.”

“It’s very possible. That’s why we can’t be disrespectful to the goose king.”

Someone looked at Liang Mingmin and the others, who were in a sorry state, and deliberately said, “Some people deserve it. They deserve to be bitten for disrespecting the king of geese.”

“That’s right. She even dared to provoke the goose king. She was asking for trouble.”

“She’s ruthless. She deserves it.”

This was the first time they had seen such a vicious woman, so they were particularly disgusted.

Liang Mingmin fell to the ground and was helped up by two maidservants who were enduring the pain.

As soon as she steadied herself, she gave the two maidservants a few slaps. “Useless!”

They couldn’t even protect her, their master.

The two maidservants were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground. “Please forgive us, princess. Please spare our lives!”

Hearing the two maidservants’ words, everyone present was shocked.

They also found out Liang Mingmin’s identity in an instant.

Was this Prince Jin’s Princess Zhen?

No wonder she was so domineering and ruthless.

They had heard previously that this princess could not be provoked. Otherwise, those who provoked her would be in trouble.

The person who had scolded Liang Mingmin earlier was also a little scared. He quickly took a few steps back and hid in the crowd.

The onlookers were all worried about Shi Qingluo and were dumbfounded.

Dumby had bitten Princess Zhen, would this matter still end well?

Although they all felt that Princess Zhen deserved to be bitten, and all of them were happy to watch it, but with her status, they were afraid that Mdm Shi would be in big trouble.

Liang Mingmin tidied up her messy hair and her skirt that had been torn.

Then, she looked at Shi Qingluo coldly. “These geese bit me. What do you think I should do? ”

Shi Qingluo raised his brows and retorted, “My goose was just walking on the streets. It didn’t even provoke you. Yet, you want to kill it and stew it. What do you think I should do? ”

This was the first time that Liang Mingmin had been rebutted like this. “How dare you! How dare a lowly commoner like you speak to me like this?”

“Capture her and bring her back to Northern City.”

When she reached Northern City, she would definitely make this woman be in utter misery.

If her father wanted to know something, he would tortured her to force it out.

And these geese, she was going to kill all of them and stew them.

Before Shi Qingluo could speak, Xiao Hanzheng said, “Princess, you’re so powerful. The wife of an official of the imperial court is a lowly commoner in your eyes, who you can arrest as you please. Are you ignoring the law?

“This is Heyang County, not Northern City.”

“And even Prince Jin should be law-abiding, right? Not to mention you’re just a princess.”

Liang Mingmin looked at Xiao Hanzheng and was stunned.

This man was too good-looking.

Although he wasn’t as handsome and gentle as Concubine Ge had said, he had a kind of coldness.

He was young but had a mature charm.

She narrowed her eyes. She couldn’t let Shi Qingluo get away with this kind of man.

“She incited these animals to bite me. Isn’t that a violation of the law and shouldn’t be punished?” she said confidently.

Xiao Hanzheng asked in return, “Which eye of yours saw my wife ordering the goose to bite?

“Weren’t you the one who tried to kill the goose and got bitten? How can you push this onto someone else? Princess, do you think that the other people present can’t tell?”

Liang Mingmin looked at him and asked, “Then what do you think we should do?”

“You sent someone to kill the goose, ” Xiao Hanzheng said coldly. “You were bitten by the goose. It’s an eye for an eye. Of course, it’s settled.”

Liang Mingmin didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to be so bold. “How dare you! I can’t just let this matter go.”

“I’ll give you two choices, ” she said gloomily. “My people will capture Shi Qingluo and bring her back to Northern City. Or you can kill all the geese here in front of everyone.”

She wouldn’t let Xiao Hanzheng off either.

She would deal with Shi Qingluo and get him to North City to be her gigolo.

“This is Heyang County,” Xiao Hanzheng said firmly. “I’m the official here. Others don’t have the right to make decisions here.

“These geese were just defending themselves. There’s nothing wrong with that. My wife is innocent, so I won’t agree to any of your requests.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Even if you make a scene in front of Prince Jin or the emperor, I will still give you the same judgment.”

Liang Mingmin didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to embarrass her and protect Shi Qingluo so much. What right did that little b * tch have?

She ordered the guards, “Guards, go and capture Shi Qingluo.”

Xiao Hanzheng’s face was cold. “Bailiffs, whoever dares to bully people in the county will be sent to prison.”

Then, the bailiffs in the county office drew their sabers and looked at the guards with unfriendly eyes.

Although they were also afraid of Prince Jin, Mr Xiao was their source of income.

Moreover, this group of people was really too arrogant.

Dummy was cute and never bit others. Instead, it helped the weak, caught thieves, and looked after children.

Not long ago, one of the bailiff’s young boys had been secretly taken away by human traffickers with his mouth covered.

When he was discovered by Dumby, he brought a flock of geese to bite the human traffickers and stop them.

From then on, Dumby would even let a group of female geese help take care of the children of those working in the county government. It would also protect the children in the county.

Of course, they couldn’t just watch Dumby and the flock of geese get killed.

“Yes, this is Heyang County. We can’t allow anyone to come here and cause trouble,” someone from the crowd couldn’t help but say.

“That’s right. Dumby is the king of these geese that protects our Heyang County. No one can kill it.”

“Even if we are in front of Prince Jin and the emperor, we can testify that Dumby and the group of geese were just defending themselves.”

“Yes, yes. We can also prove that the big geese bit others purely because someone wanted to kill them for no reason. They were forced to fight back and not incited by Mdm Shi.”

Ever since Mr Xiao and his wife came to Heyang County, other than the truly useless and lazy people, the lives of the other families had gradually improved.

Currently, most of the families in the county had people working in the county magistrate’s workshop.

This was something good that the county magistrate and his wife did for the benefit of the people.

Of course, they couldn’t bear to see such a good Madam being falsely accused and taken away.

At most, they would get a book of the people and send it to the capital for the emperor to decide.

Heyang County was not within the purview of Prince Jin’s fief, so it was not under his control.

Prince Jin’s daughter had no right to be so arrogant in Heyang County.

With someone taking the lead, the people who were still a little afraid at first also gathered their courage to speak up.

Today, they would definitely protect their wife and the group of big geese that protected the county.

“Yes, Yes, we can also testify.” The surrounding merchants also chimed in.

Shi Qingluo and her husband had given them many opportunities to earn money, so they were naturally grateful.

Furthermore, it was Princess Zhen who had gone overboard. They didn’t testify blindly.

Everyone’s protectiveness warmed Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo’s hearts.

It proved that their hard work and sweat in Heyang County wasn’t in vain.
