CHAPTER 141: CHAPTER 141: PEI SHU’ER, DON’T BE SO ARROGANT—DO YOU REALLY THINK YUHUA VALLEY HAS NO ONE?

Ma Dagou tried to argue, but the government officer, with a cold face, lashed him once and pointed with the whip, speaking fiercely.

"If you dare to plead innocent, then just wait to be beaten to death."

Pei Shu’er stood by with a gentle smile throughout, as if she was detached from the world.

This person shivered, dared not go against it anymore, and quickly left with everyone.

Only on the road did Liu Xu ask Pei Shu’er.

"How did we catch this person?"

Last night, Pei Shu’er was with Zan’er the whole time, where did she find the time to deploy these things?

Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "I understand Tang Qingrou, she would never miss this opportunity. She hates me so much, she would definitely use yesterday as a chance for the output to fail standards."

"So I arranged for our people to patrol days ago, if they see someone, there’s no need to block, just catch one of them."

Otherwise, how could they have caught the person with the evidence?

Pei Shu’er never plans from the incident itself but analyzes from the person’s character and then finds ways to deal with it.

Liu Xu nodded, she had thought Pei Shu’er had no other plans, when she saw the radishes in the field were all pulled out, she almost fainted.

This meant that the reduction of the sentence for their third house had failed, and they might not have such a good opportunity again.

However, her daughter-in-law is as reliable as ever.

Everyone kept walking, and the road they took became increasingly remote.

White Rice kept running beside Pei Shu’er, and when they arrived at the place, it obediently nestled at Pei Shu’er’s feet.

Ahead is a huge valley with beautiful scenery and lush growing crops, and beside the valley is a huge pond, very convenient for irrigation.

Unlike the Deserted Mountain, where one has to dig a pond themselves.

The soil in Yuhua Valley was much better than in the Deserted Mountain, and the crops in ancient times would be considered good.

This is also the reason for Yuhua Valley people’s arrogance.

Just compared to the lush crops and the Deserted Mountain, they are somewhat lacking.

Ma He, holding Ma Dagou, asked harshly: "Where did you hide the food?"

Ma Dagou didn’t want to say, he felt that if he said it, there would be no way out.

As a result, he was caught by Zhang Chao and the other three, and received a beating.

These four were always good at gang fighting.

Soon, Ma Dagou was beaten until he wailed loudly, crying and spitting as he spoke.

"I’ll take you, I’ll take you."

The residences in Yuhua Valley were mostly caves.

The place Ma Dagou led everyone to was a cave, he pointed inside.

"We piled everything inside."

Everyone went in together, the cave was empty, there was nothing inside.

Liu Xu’s legs went soft, almost fainting again, only to be caught by Tang Qingrou.

Pei Shu’er thought, it was time to take care of her mother-in-law.

This habit of fainting easily, due to a weak body.

Yinxing and the others got a bit anxious, and quickly said, "Heir’s Wife, what should we do?"

Pei Shu’er said nothing, squatting down to search in this cave for a while.

Afterward, she squatted at a place.

Here, there was a whole patch of radish leaves.

And judging by the size of these leaves, it was her radish planted.

She took out the radish leaves and spoke to the government officer.

"Lord, radishes should have been placed here before, but our movements were most likely leaked, that’s why they’ve been moved."

After saying that, Pei Shu’er pointed to the wheel tracks outside the valley.

"This shows that the other side pushed a cart out."

The wheel tracks had disappeared after going a distance.

At this time, Tang Qingrou arrived slowly.

Behind her were several people, next to her was someone called Big Bull.

Big Bull had now upgraded himself, from previous tattered clothes to now mismatched silk garments.

His status had also risen, seemingly becoming the new master of Yuhua Valley.

Tang Qingrou also donned a thin gauze skirt, appearing once again like the lady of the big house.

She said, "What’s going on, sister-in-law? Bringing the Lord to our home?"

Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "Here to see where sister has hidden the radishes of our third house, after all, Ma Dagou is sister’s man."

Tang Qingrou denied with a smile, "We haven’t seen any of your radishes."

"Moreover, Ma Dagou has always been a person of the Deserted Mountain, how come sister caught a family thief and ended up here in Yuhua Valley?"

After saying this, her gentle gaze swept towards Big Bull beside her.

Big Bull frowned.

"Causing trouble in our Yuhua Valley, Pei Shu’er, you’re too arrogant, do you really think Yuhua Valley is empty-handed?"

The people behind him all displayed fierce looks, closing in towards Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er remained composed, her smile was gentle.

"What, not even honoring the Lord? Yuhua Valley people are too arrogant? Our things are lost, don’t we even have the right to search?"

The government officers cooperated and drew their blades, those initially fierce-looking people all retracted their expressions, obediently hiding behind Big Bull and Tang Qingrou.

Tang Qingrou hadn’t expected these people to be so cowardly, sneered and said.

"Of course not, I just think, the Lord may have been misled by some villains."

Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "Look at sister’s remarks, the Lord is so smart, how could he not have such judgment, who is good and who is bad, the Lord has a scale in his heart. Does sister imply the Lord lacks experience or intelligence?"

This remark changed Tang Qingrou’s expression.

Sure enough, in the next moment, a Lord furiously pulled out a whip, and fiercely lashed her back, a distinct bloody mark appeared through her thin clothes.

Tang Qingrou gritted her teeth, wanted to speak, but saw the government officer raise the whip again as if to hit her.

Tang Qingrou truly hadn’t expected the relationship between Pei Shu’er and the government officer to be so tight.

In Yuhua Valley, government officers were just for beating, never willing to stick up for them, most times like props.

Seeing the whip about to fall on herself, Tang Qingrou quickly pleaded for mercy.

The officer let her off, angrily saying, "We are investigating a case, it’s best Yuhua Valley people cooperate a bit, if you are innocent, we won’t mistakenly catch good people."

Now Tang Qingrou could only let them search.

However, she wasn’t worried, seeing Pei Shu’er sending batch after batch of people to find radishes, she didn’t stop them.

Her hiding place is so concealed, even if Pei Shu’er is clever, it’s impossible to guess.

When unable to find them, won’t they only return in defeat and await punishment from government officers.

It’s not just about reducing the sentence, might even have life-threatening concerns.

Of course, she didn’t hope Pei Shu’er would die so soon.

She wants to torment her harshly, letting her feel all the pain she had suffered.

Pei Shu’er, don’t collapse too soon, okay?

That would be boring.
