After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

59 Everyone Sees Hope

In the back residence of Jin city’s government office, the county Magistrate Guo Gang looked at his injured son in exasperation. His heart ached as he cursed, “If I catch that woman, I’ll tear her into a thousand pieces.”

Young Master Guo lay on the bed and his ribs hurt badly when he breathed. The doctor had just finished bandaging him, and his thin chest was wrapped in gauze. He didn’t even dare to breathe. His eyes were full of hatred as he gritted his teeth and said to his father, “Father, if you catch them, give them to me first.”

In Jin city, there was no woman that he could not get. The more he hated Su Qing, the more he wanted to conquer her. He wanted to watch her beg for mercy under him, watch her cry and apologize, watch her wag her tail and plead for mercy…

Just thinking about it, Young Master Guo’s eyes lit up with excitement. When he was done playing with it, he would throw the thorny rose to the Emerald Tower. With her beautiful face, she would definitely earn him a mountain of gold and silver.

This was called recycling!

Most of the girls who had been toyed with by him in the past had such a tragic fate. Some of them were tough and committed suicide by hitting their heads or hanging themselves. Those who were timid and weak could only submit to fate. In short, none of them had a good end.

“No, that woman is too cruel. I can’t let her stay by your side.”

Guo Gang, who had always doted on his son, did not agree this time. He could not keep a woman who could hurt his son at any time by his side.

“Cut off the tendons of her feet and hands, and she won’t be able to do anything. I want her to suffer a fate worse than death.”

As long as Young Master Guo thought of the woman being tortured by him, he couldn’t wait to catch her and torture her.

“Master, just do as your son says. That kind of woman who doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness should be taught this way.”

Guo Gang’s wife, Mrs. Guo, had been crying the whole time when she saw her son getting injured. She felt that her son’s method was simply too good, making a person’s life worse than death to vent his hatred.

“Alright, Brother-in-law has already gone to capture her, no matter who she is. If you dare to hurt my son, you must die!”

Guo Gang grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground. Seeing the teacup break into pieces, he cursed with gritted teeth.

The bailiff who was on duty in the main hall stumbled to the back hall. His body was still covered in dirt, and his face was bruised and swollen from the beating. He fell to the ground the moment he entered.

“Master, Master, bad news.”

“What’s not good?”

Guo Gang kicked the bailiff. He was not happy, but he still came to say bad things about the old master. Such inauspicious words made Guo Gang feel uncomfortable.

“Uncle has been captured and taken to the government administrative office. There’s an old man who claims to be the Imperial tutor of the Emperor. He wants you to meet him in the hall.”

The bailiff massaged his hip bone, which was hurting from the old master’s kick, and reported to Guo Gang with a sad face.

“The emperor’s tutor?”

Guo Gang was shocked. What was the emperor’s tutor doing in his small Jin city? Why did he capture his brother-in-law?

“Yes, the woman who injured Young Master came with him.”

The bailiff nodded. The more he spoke, the more the wound on his face hurt. He clutched his face and grimaced.

Guo Gang’s expression changed drastically. The woman who came with the emperor’s teacher had been offended by his son, and now he couldn’t care about pampering his son anymore.

He asked him in exasperation, “Son, who did you offend? You’ve caused a great disaster.”

“She’s just an ordinary woman. Father, I think they’re all people from the martial world who swindle people. Don’t believe it. Then wouldn’t he be staying in the capital?”

Guo Xiang panicked when he saw his father getting angry, but he still refused to admit it.

“Master, Xiang’er is right. How could the emperor’s tutor come to our small Jin city? Someone must be impersonating him, even… Even if it’s true, we have to be prepared.”

Mrs. Guo’s heart ached when she saw her husband scolding her son, so she rushed over to defend and support his argument. The person who came was not the emperor’s teacher, so even if it was true, she had to say it was fake.

If this old man was allowed to live, their family would not have a good life.

“You’re right. We can’t let them leave Jin city alive. If you do this…”

Reminded by his wife, Guo Gang decided to go all out. He narrowed his eyes and ordered his wife in a low voice.

“Alright, I’ll do it now.”

Mrs. Guo nodded and left her son’s room in a hurry.

Guo Gang put on his official uniform and hurried to the lobby. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw an old man with white hair and a white beard sitting in his chair in the middle of the lobby. His face was so gloomy that ink could drip out of it, and he was looking at him coldly.

The imposing manner and the chilling fierceness in his eyes made Guo Gang certain that this was the Imperial teacher, Old Master Qin.

The leader of the group of people kneeling in the lobby was his eldest brother-in-law. At this time, he was no longer as domineering as before. His face was bruised and swollen, and his cheeks were swollen as if someone had stuffed steamed buns into them.

The ones left kneeling were his eldest uncle’s soldiers and his own bailiffs. It could be said that his side had been completely annihilated.

Guo Gang’s eyes turned. A wise man knows when to retreat. The situation was not in his favor, so he could only pretend to be honest. He immediately cupped his fists and bowed to Old Master Qin. He said respectfully,

“I didn’t know that you were coming, so I didn’t welcome you. Please forgive me, Old Master Qin.”

After greeted Old Master Qin, Guo Gang’s face turned sullen as he asked his big brother-in-law sternly, “Big brother, how did you offend Old Master Qin?”

After scolding his brother-in-law, Guo Gang put on a smile and bowed to Old Master Qin to plead for mercy for his brother-in-law.

“Old Master Qin, my brother-in-law is a rough man. If he has offended you, please forgive him.”

Guo Gang didn’t wait for Old Master Qin to speak after his performance. He raised his eyes nervously and peeked at Old Master Qin. He saw that Old Master Qin’s expression was even more stern. Guo Gang’s heart flipped. It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to get away with it today.

Looking at this situation, Old Master Qin had made up his mind to deal with him. Fortunately, he had made preparations and attacked first. A great man was not without poison!

Smack!

Just as Guo Gang’s eyes turned around and he was about to say something to coax Old Master Qin before taking the opportunity to act, Old Master Qin slapped the gavel, which made Guo Gang’s body tremble in fear.

Old Master Qin said coldly, “According to the Great Xia Kingdom’s laws, the guards are not allowed to enter the city and disturb the citizens. Not only did he disturb the citizens, but he also killed the innocents and was tyrannical. According to the Great Xia Kingdom’s military laws, he can be executed first and we will report it later. Men, push him out and execute him.”

“Yes.”

Old Master Qin’s guards acknowledged and picked up the Lieutenant from the ground and walked out of the government administrative office. The Lieutenant was so frightened that he kept shouting for mercy, “Old Master Qin, please spare my life, spare my life! I promise I will never enter the city again, even if my parents are dead. The Mans have been harassing me recently. Please spare my life and give me the chance to protect the people of Jin city!”

Old Master Qin’s face was as calm as water. He did not even look at the Lieutenant who was shouting and waving at the guards.

The guards escorted the Lieutenant out of the manor and asked for his execution on the street. The commoners’ blood boiled when they saw this. At first, they didn’t believe that Old Master Qin could take care of Guo Gang and this vile Lieutenant. Now that the Lieutenant had been executed, everyone saw hope.

Outside the government administrative office, people were shouting ‘Lord Qing Tian’. They knew that Old Master Qin would seek justice for the people, so very quickly, someone beat the drum of injustice outside the government administrative office.

...

Mrs. Guo walked into the main hall from the inner hall with two maidservants. She still didn’t know that her brother had been beheaded. After entering the main hall, she put on a fake smile and served tea to Old Master Qin.

“Old Master Qin, please have some tea. You must be tired from the long journey.”
