Chapter 909: A ray of hope (1)
"Come here, they are asking for leave, drag them back and give them ten big beatings each!"
"Yes!" After Lin Feng finished speaking, the bailiffs appeared out of nowhere, rushed to the three people and dragged them away.
"Sir, please spare my life!"
"Sir, please let us go! We won't dare to do it again!"
"Sir, we are all old and weak, and we can't stand ten blows! Sir... let us go..."
The three old ladies shouted, but Lin Feng remained unmoved. The bailiffs stepped forward and dragged them away. Gu Feng walked very slowly on the road before leaving the alley. The voices of the three old ladies penetrated the entire alley.
Many people stuck their heads out and then retracted them, but a small gap was still left.
"Sir, Mr. Ji, why are you here..." Zhao Yang looked at the two of them embarrassedly. He didn't expect to show them such an unbearable scene.
"You forgot to take their compensation money, so I just happened to bring it to you on the way. I didn't expect to see such a scene." Lin Feng took out a bag of silver and put it in Zhao Yang's hand, "This is the money you advanced to Niu Xiaocao and the others. According to the law, they have to return it to you."
Unexpectedly, the money could be recovered. Zhao Yang and the woman looked at each other, both with tears in their eyes.
"Thank you, sir!" Zhao Yang choked.
"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, sir!" The woman looked at Ji Xiaomu and then at Lin Feng. She had said so many bad things at the gate of the yamen at that time, but she didn't expect that the sir didn't care about it. Even Mr. Ji helped her. The woman felt extremely ashamed.
She was sure that Ji Xiaomu must have helped Zhao Yang a lot. She had nowhere to turn to at the time, and everyone told her that Zhao Yang would never be able to get out. But when she met Ji Dongjia, she told her that if she hadn't done it, she would definitely be able to get out.
Although everyone was praising the adult for his wisdom, the woman put Ji Xiaowu first.
"Good people will always be rewarded!" Ji Xiaowu winked at the woman and chuckled.
"Yes." The woman's eyes turned red. She would not stop Zhao Yang from helping others again.
Aunt Wang was standing at the door of Zhao Yang's house, watching Lin Feng the whole time. She didn't expect that the person she had just insulted was actually an official. Aunt Wang sat down on the ground with weak legs.
Lin Feng and Ji Xiaowu walked over slowly. Aunt Wang curled up, not daring to look at them, hoping that they would pretend not to see her.
"I don't know if you know that if you owe a debt and don't pay it back... you will be sentenced to how many years in prison? Let me explain to you. If the amount is less than five taels, then you will be sentenced to one year. If it is more than five taels and less than fifteen taels, then you will be sentenced to three years. If it is more than twenty taels and you refuse to pay it back after repeated debt collection... especially if you don't admit it and think you can cheat without the IOU, you will be sentenced to ten years." Lin Feng said to Ji Xiaomu, but his voice echoed throughout the alley.
Lin Feng glanced at Aunt Wang who was slumped on the ground, and walked out of the alley with Ji Xiaomu.
Aunt Wang was frightened stiff by Lin Feng's last look. After Lin Feng left, Aunt Wang's family rushed out and carried Aunt Wang back home.
Zhao Yang watched Aunt Wang being carried away and closed the door of his house coldly.
Back in the room, the woman cried with joy as she held the silver that she had recovered.
Their embroidery shop can continue to operate, even if they have to cancel the styles ordered by customers. Although they lose a lot of styles, at least they don't need to close down.
"My lord is a good man." Zhao Yang hugged his wife and said with emotion.
When Zhao Yang thought about every detail of today, he really felt that... after a twist and turn, there is always a bright future ahead.
