Chapter 180 Humiliation
Chapter 180 Humiliation
Several women were passing by the alley and screamed when they saw several naked men lying there.
"what happened?"
There happened to be a yamen runner on patrol, who came over following the sound.
"Sir, look over there..."
The yamen runners walked over and kicked the men when they saw them lying there motionless.
"You're not going to die, are you?"
"What kind of murderer is so brazen as to kill someone in an alley in broad daylight?"
"Everyone was stripped naked. Could they have been robbed? A crime was committed in broad daylight, and five people died at once. This is a serious case. We must report it to the county magistrate."
One of the yamen runners squatted down and sniffed his breath. His originally tense expression immediately relaxed, and he said unhappily, "He's not dead, he's just drunk."
"These drunks are truly degrading," Captain Feng said. "You guys, find something to cover their butts with and splash some water on them to sober them up. Let's go there and take them back."
"How do we deliver it?" one of the yamen runners said, "This is too embarrassing."
"It's precisely because it's shameful that he has to be sent back. His family will be so disappointed when they see their unfilial son doing such a shameful thing..." Captain Feng pinched his fingers, looking as if he knew everything.
"Hehe... Boss is so smart! Why didn't we think of that?" said the bailiff's younger brother. "Anyway, we're not the ones who are embarrassed. This trip was worth it."
"But where did their clothes go? These are all young masters from wealthy families. They must have carried a lot of silver with them, right? From what I see, the only thing they have left from head to toe is their hair to keep them warm. They must have been robbed."
"Drunkards, after drinking, don't even recognize their own fathers. Who knows if they took off their clothes themselves? Besides, I heard that these scholars had a lot of fun, who knows... hehe..."
Song Ruize covered Qin Huiyin's ears.
These yamen runners really dare to say anything.
Song Ruize has been in the dam for so long and has heard all kinds of dirty jokes. He used to be able to walk past them without batting an eyelid, but now he feels that these dirty things should not pollute the little girl's ears.
The yamen runners splashed water on the scholars to wake them up, and seeing that they were still half-awake, they slapped them several times on the face. The slapping was so loud that even Qin Huiyin, who was two hundred meters away, felt pain on her face.
The scholars were awakened by the beating and were confused at first. When they saw the yamen runners with unfriendly faces, they started screaming and crying as if their parents had died.
"Sir, you have to do something for us. Those beggars stripped us of our clothes and robbed us of our money. Those stinky beggars are the lowest of ants and should be driven out of the city."
Captain Feng said calmly, "Would you like to cover up your two ounces of flesh first? Although I'm a man, I don't have a penchant for looking at other men's genitals."
The scholars looked down and screamed again.
The yamen runners looked disgusted.
Captain Feng scratched his ears. "You're screaming like a woman. Someone who doesn't know would think you've been raped. Okay, you said the beggars stripped you of your clothes and robbed you of your money. What are the characteristics of the beggars who robbed you?"
The yamen runners nearby threw a few pieces of cloth to them.
They hurriedly grabbed the strips of cloth and tied them around their waists.
"There are a lot of them."
"How much exactly?"
"Ten?" The scholar who spoke looked at his companions. "Do you remember what the characteristics were?"
"I don't remember. But there were more than ten. They rushed over in such a large group that we couldn't tell who was who. Aren't all beggars the same? Anyway, we just had to arrest them all."
Captain Feng was amused by that silly scholar.
"Catch them? Catch them all? Even in the capital, under the emperor's feet, no one dares to drive out beggars, let alone catch them. Have you read so much that it's turned into a dog's stomach?"
"Sir, we carried a lot of banknotes with us, but now they're all gone..."
"If you can tell me what the beggar who stole your banknotes looks like, I will take the case and help you arrest him. But don't say that stupid thing about arresting all the beggars."
"Sir, can you give us some clothes?"
"No." Captain Feng waved his hand impatiently, signaling his men to take them away.
After those people left, Qin Huiyin and others came out from the corner.
Carpenter Zhang and Zhang Dazhu looked at Song Ruize with strange eyes.
This guy is so scary, don't offend him. They don't want to walk around the county naked.
Chen Yong and Jiang Qibin looked unsurprised. If their brother Ze had been a good man, he would have been killed long ago in a place like the dam where all sorts of people mixed together.
"Brother, go and do your thing. We are also going to prepare to go back."
"Do you want to go back, or do you want to visit the academy?" Song Ruize said.
"I'll go take a look." Qin Huiyin touched the tip of her nose, feeling a little guilty.
"I'll take you to the entrance of the academy." Song Ruize said, walking over to lead the ox cart.
After Song Ruize sent Qin Huiyin to the gate of the academy, he asked Zhang the Carpenter and Zhang Dazhu to walk slowly on the way and wait for her to go back together. Then he followed Jiang Qibin and Chen Yong back to the dam.
Carpenter Zhang and his son found a place to guard the ox cart and two mules.
Qin Huiyin went to the academy alone.
The uncle guarding the gate recognized Qin Huiyin, went in to report, and let her in.
Qin Huiyin dressed like a little fairy today. Her hair was combed by Li Taohua and decorated with colorful strips of cloth. When the wind blew, the strips of cloth fluttered, looking lively and energetic.
As soon as she entered, many scholars looked over and asked whose girl she was.
"Brother Yichen's."
"Brother Yichen is sick today and didn't go to class. His sister must have heard about his illness and came to take care of him, right?"
Qin Huiyin went to Tang Yichen's room and quickly found his residence. She knocked on the door and called out crisply, "Brother, I'm Yinyin. Can I come in now?"
"Wait a minute..." A nervous voice came from inside, followed by a series of bangs, and no one knew what was knocked over or spilled.
After a while, the door opened and Tang Yichen stood in front of her. He pretended to be calm and said, "Why are you here?"
"I heard you were sick, so I came to see you." Qin Huiyin touched Tang Yichen's forehead. "You have a fever."
"You'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
"No, we have to go to the clinic." Qin Huiyin said, "I'm studying medicine in the clinic now, and Uncle Tang is also treating his leg there. I'll take you there now, and you can also meet them."
"I won't go." Tang Yichen was helpless, "Don't let them worry."
"Do you want to leave on your own, or do you want me to find someone to carry you away?" Qin Huiyin threatened, "If you leave on your own, you can still save some face. If you are carried by someone, you will lose all your face."
Tang Yichen: "...go by yourself."
