Chapter 452: Don't Mess with a Mother Tiger!

ight, so someone took advantage of that!"The village head looked grim, filled with self-reproach.Zhao Shu clenched his fists even tighter, "I was overconfident. When Liu Biao said this place was calle...Zhao Shu saw these people like frightened quails, he really wanted to beat them up.

He coughed and raised his voice to shout: “Greetings, County Princess! Greetings, Lord! Greetings, Madam! Greetings, Village Head Wu!”

The villagers of the Great Elm Tree and King's Estate, both big and small, finally reacted and bowed down, but they still didn't dare speak.

Despite being villagers themselves, they couldn't bear to see their fellow villagers behaving so rudely. As they had a good relationship with the head of Wu village and held some influence in Li's household, they stepped forward and bowed, all saying in unison: “Greetings, County Princess, Greetings, Master, Greetings, Madam, Greetings, Elder Wu.”

Jia Yin and Old Madam Li merely nodded, but Li Lao'er responded with a cold face: "Since the three village heads are here, then things will be easier to handle today. This is the first general assembly of the four villages on Suijin Beach, and with you all present, matters can be resolved more smoothly."

Three of them listened nervously, and then glanced at Zhang Jin hanging upside down.

Xiao Wang Zhuang's inside asked tentatively, "Master, did this second-rate fellow do something wrong and make you angry"

Li Lao'er shook his head and said, "I usually go to court in the city and most village affairs are handled by the village chief. It's better to ask Uncle Village Chief to tell us!"

Three of them looked at the village chief again, smiling ingratiatingly.

The village head sneered and scolded, "This scoundrel must have made a mistake, otherwise why would everyone be so busy running here to blow air for him"

“Although we belong to four different villages, as you all know, Suijin Beach within a radius of twenty li is all under the jurisdiction of the County Lord. Whether it's our New Village or your three villages, we are all under the County Lord's rule, we are all family, right”

"Yes, yes, what the elder brother said is right. From now on, we are all one family, all under the jurisdiction of the county lord. Yesterday when this was mentioned, everyone was happy." The headman of Xiaowang Village quickly agreed.

The head clerk of King's Manor also chimed in, "That's right. Not to mention anything else, life here in Xin Cun has been getting better and better, all thanks to the County Lord's blessings. Everyone is hoping that we can be just as prosperous and lively as Xin Cun."

Only the headman of Big Paulownia Village was the most astute, he stepped forward and guessed: “Brother, this second-rate scoundrel made a mistake... wouldn't it be ruining the goodwill between our villages”

As expected, the village head nodded and said: "This damned thing, before, colluded with the gambling den in town, enticing Wei Dayun from our village to gamble. When Wei Dayun owed a huge debt that he couldn't pay back, he forced Wei Dayun to return to the village and recruit people to gamble together to pay off the debt."

"What is this This is like digging at the foundation of our new village, turning it into a gambling den, and destroying the good life we've worked so hard to build!"

Three of them gasped in shock. They thought Zhang Jin was caught stealing, but he turned out to be gambling with fishing!

That's so despicable!

Who doesn't know, you lose nine times out of ten!

Gamblers who have gambled away their fortunes, selling houses and land, even risking their wives and children, are everywhere.

It can be said that addiction to gambling inevitably leads to the ruin of one's family and personal life.

No wonder the Suijin Beach meeting has to be held with such solemnity...

"Bah!" The village head of Dà Huái Shù cursed Zhang Jìn, spitting on the ground. "Such a scoundrel! Why didn't we kill him right there!"

The head steward of King's Estate also cursed, "Even rabbits don't eat the grass by their own nest. He actually caught his own people and ruthlessly pitted them against each other. He's such a scoundrel with a black heart!"

Little Wang Zhuang's back was even darker, almost as black as the bottom of a pot, because this person who had come in was from their village.

Although everyone knew Zhang Jin had been living a dissolute life and occasionally did bad things, no one expected him to be so audacious.

They're seeing that things are prosperous here in the new village and they've come to try and take advantage of it!

Zhang Jin was hanging, his head full of blood. His face was flushed red like a pig liver. Seeing everyone looking at him with disdain and disgust, he started to protest.

"I didn't mean to, I had no ill intentions! I was just being friendly with my comrades in arms and wanted to get rich together!"

"Bah! Get out of here, you stinking dog!" Wei Dagun's daughter-in-law stomped her feet and cursed, "If you can make money, why are you still wearing straw shoes on such a cold day It's not enough that you lost everything yourself, you even try to drag my father-in-law down with you because he's honest!"

"You've drained all the army's silver and forced them to gamble with villagers, you're quite skilled at this, I wonder how many people you've cheated before!"

Zhang Jin struggled desperately, arguing: "No, no, it's really my first time. I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again!"

“I was also momentarily possessed by a demon. The casino manager said to bring me there, and I would be free from my debts, so I did it! I really won’t dare again in the future!”

"He's lying!" A young daughter-in-law couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Our family lives next door to Zhang Jin. He used to drag my husband to gamble before."

"My husband gambled away all our family money and even wanted to use my dowry. I got my brother-in-law involved, and he beat my husband severely. Now my husband doesn't dare gamble anymore!"

The young woman's husband, exposed, flushed red and went to pull on his wife's sleeve, wanting her to stop talking.

The young daughter-in-law wasn't someone to be trifled with. She shook off the man and angrily retorted, "What are you stopping me for This kind of thing should be spoken out loud, otherwise everyone will be unaware of Zhang Jin's true colors. In the future, we might not even realize he has led all the men in our village to the gambling hall! How can our families possibly survive then"

“Yes, the young lady is right!” Another woman beside her chimed in: “There was a family in my hometown who sold their daughter-in-law and children into servitude because of gambling. A perfectly good family, it all crumbled within three months, it’s just awful!”

"Kill this scoundrel! He led people to gamble and ruined their lives!"

"Yes, yes, kill him, kill him!"

"Let him be a scoundrel! Let him harm everyone!"

Women are more home-oriented than men. Just think about how they and their children would be sold by gambling men, they would be terrified.

All fear turned into anger, and they all rushed towards Zhang Jin's pouring.

He was dangling under the archway like a target, unable to escape.

For a moment, the women rushed forward, surrounding him in a throng. One tugged at his hair, another pulled at his clothes, and another ripped off his shoes!

When the village head yelled for everyone to step back, Zhang Jin was already more disheveled than a beggar on the street.

Two little feet were bare, and the clothes on his body were torn into strips, leaving only the dark trousers still relatively intact.

And the little bit of hair that had survived in the hands of Wei Dagun's wife was also gone this time, leaving a bare, bloody scalp...

Women found it cathartic, while men instinctively ducked their heads.

From now on, you can't upset the women, otherwise, the consequences will be dire!

At this point, the village head called someone to bring a long bench and invited the three officials to sit down.

Xiao Wangzhuang's inside felt ashamed, he bowed and apologized, "Brother, it's my fault for being negligent these days, letting this mouse droppings ruin the whole pot of soup. I really don't have the face to sit down!"

The village head stood up and helped him sit down, then said: "Even when you eat melon seeds, there's bound to be a bug or two. In such a big village, it's normal for someone with bad intentions to exist. You also need to live your life, you can't grow an extra pair of eyes to watch his family all day, right"

Don't think about it too much, things happen, we can find a way to solve them, and just make sure they don't happen again.

Little Wang, hiding in his own courtyard, dared only to perch on a stool, peering cautiously towards the Li family of three.re the boys had to return to the academy. They were all a little reluctant to leave.Especially, the little brother cat held onto the chubby sister, his face flushed red from exhaustion, but he didn't...
