Chapter 170 Insulting the Royal Family
The more he spoke, the sadder he became: "Shi Tou was so angry that he took a kitchen knife from home and went to the Fang family to seek justice. When the villagers heard about it, they followed him. By the time they arrived, Shi Tou had been knocked unconscious on the ground. When Shi Tou's father went to argue, his leg was broken and Shi Tou's mother was also injured.
Only when they saw us all here did the Fang family stop, we hadn’t even said a few words when you girls came.”
After saying this, Village Chief Liu sighed, "Luckily you guys came, otherwise Shitou would not have survived."
Zheng Sisi was very angry after hearing this. How could there be such shameless people in this world who did such outrageous things in her own territory? She would never let them off easily.
Zheng Sisi said to Village Chief Liu: "Village Chief Liu, I am very sorry that this happened in my village. I will ask the Fang family to compensate the Shitou family, and I will not let the Fang family off easily."
Village chief Liu and the villagers were very pleased to hear this. At least this landlord did not treat tenants like ants like Fang and his son.
Zheng Sisi said to Fang Zhuangtou, "Fang Zhuangtou, I have taken this manor back. You have been bullying my manor for so many years, bullying tenants, robbing women, and beating up villagers. Do you still have anything to say?"
Fang Zhuangtou stood up and said, "Madam Xie asked me to manage this farm. I have not oppressed the tenants. The tenants' share of the farmland was determined by Madam Xie. I acted according to the rules. As for Liu Cui'er, she is already my son's. My son can take her as a concubine. As for the injury, we can compensate for the medicine."
Zheng Sisi asked, "You don't know if the first lady of the Xie Mansion in the capital can bear this burden. The tenants renting the land is the rule set by the emperor. When will it be the turn of a woman in the back house to change it? No matter how big the Xie Mansion is, it doesn't even take the emperor and the court seriously."
Zheng Sisi turned to Sheng Zhen and said, "Third Prince, what do you think should be done with those who disrespect the imperial court and the royal family?"
The third prince responded cooperatively: "Disrespecting our Sheng family and the imperial court, and changing the imperial decree can be regarded as treason, and the entire clan should be executed."
All the villagers and people from the Fang family in the yard were stunned when they heard the conversation between the two. The villagers looked blankly at the person who had just spoken. This was His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the God of War of Dai Viet. They saw the God of War who protected Dai Viet, and the villagers excitedly knelt down and kowtowed.
They shouted in unison: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Third Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Fang Zhuangtou panicked. This was not his original intention. How could he be sentenced to death for just a few questions? And it was said in front of the Third Prince? He was so terrified that he knelt down and kowtowed with his men.
The third prince said to everyone, "Everyone, get up!"
Everyone got up, and the villagers looked at the Third Prince with eager eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Zheng Sisi added, "Mr. Fang, you have been bullying the tenants for so many years. I will teach you to Magistrate Cao. I hope you can take care of yourself. I will count your belongings and compensate Liu Shitou's family and the tenants you have bullied."
Master Fang jumped up and cursed, "You stinky girl, what right do you have to deal with the property of our Fang family? Bitch, our Fang family is not something you can control. My cousin can send you to the farm to raise you, or she can make you live a life worse than death. You'd better think it over. If you can be my lover, I can let you go."
Zheng Sisi has seen a lot of scenes in modern times, so these few humiliating words have no effect on her.
But the third prince found it very irritating.
The third prince said, "They insulted the imperial officials and the royal family and should be executed. Qingmu, send the Fang family and these servants to Magistrate Cao and have him investigate what else these people have done and resolve the matter all at once."
