Chapter 150
When Elder Mr. Xu heard the words of Qian's Mother and Qian Duoduo, he sighed again and returned all the money he was supposed to return to them.
"Hmph!" After receiving the money, Qian's Mother turned her head and snorted coldly at the Villagers of Gu Family Village present, before leaving with Qian Duoduo and the others.
Seeing this scene, Elder Mr. Xu shook his head.
...After experiencing the fierceness of the Villagers of Gu Family Village, the people of Qian Family Village did not dare to try any tricks.
That very evening, they delivered all the money.
Today, the people of Gu Family Village had the pleasant aroma of meat added to many households.
But Qian's Mother's family was mocked and insulted by people pointing their fingers at their noses.
Qian Duoduo took their children to Gu Family Village and got beaten up, while Qian's Mother took them to get beaten up and pay compensation.
With all this, the fellow villagers of Qian Family Village who had suffered losses blamed Qian's Mother's family...
On the other side, the Gu family.
Hu Junmei was happily sipping the hot pot, each mouthful of hot pot brought him great joy.
"Today, you did have to go through some trouble."
They had originally planned to borrow Hu Jun's constable uniform to scare the people of Qian Family Village.
But they didn't expect the situation to spiral out of control, and they ended up using physical force...which turned out to be more effective than just scaring them.
Ahem, this didn't leave Hu Jun any opportunity to use his martial arts skills.
"It's no problem at all, I didn't have anything else to do today anyway, just joined in the fun."
"But uh...ahem...Jinchen, I have a day off tomorrow, could we perhaps discuss adding another set of bowls and chopsticks for me at your home?"
Hu Jun said with a grin, looking like a glutton, which made Gu Jinchen laugh in annoyance.
"It's just a matter of adding another set of bowls and chopsticks, why do you make it sound like I wouldn't allow it?"
"Hehehe." Hearing this, Hu Jun laughed contentedly, but then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Gu Jinchen and the others.
"By the way, have you heard about the Fu Family's situation?"
"Their family's case has been thoroughly investigated, and the father and daughter will be executed at the Noon Gate the day after tomorrow, with the Prince of Nanyang personally overseeing the beheading."
Saying this, Hu Jun shook his head. Although he was familiar with such cases in his line of work, learning about so many innocent lives being unjustly taken still felt somewhat shocking and regrettable.
Upon hearing Hu Jun's words, Gu Jinchen and Luo Ge paused for a moment and nodded, and the two injured little ones also looked at them.
"Yesterday when we went to the provincial capital, we overheard some details about this matter."
Hearing this, Hu Jun nodded.
He learned of this incident and came to inform them, to put their minds at ease. After all, the Fu Family had always been like an evil ghost, very difficult to deal with.
Since Gu Jinchen and the others were already aware of the situation, he naturally did not need to say more. As for these people, he actually didn't have much to say about them.
...The incident at Qian Family Village was resolved today, and Gu Family Village had returned to its usual peaceful and stable state.
...Before long, it was the day when the restaurant in the provincial capital closed for the day. Since the distance was not short, Luo Ge and the others set out early to go to the provincial capital.
Who would have thought that by rushing there early, they would coincidentally encounter the scene of the Fu Family members being paraded through the streets on their way to the execution grounds.
When a criminal transport carriage carrying prisoners is passing by, regular carriages are supposed to take a detour and change their path. Luo Ge and the others were no exception.
While avoiding the carriage, Luo Ge turned his head to glance at Fu Zhixi's father and daughter locked inside, before averting his gaze.
However, Fu Zhixi became agitated and started shouting incessantly, "Ahhh! Ahhh!"
It was said that she was being punished by those seeking revenge against her. Fu Zhixi's face and throat had already been disfigured, and she had lost one hand.
At this point, she bore no resemblance to the former glamorous Fu Family's legitimate daughter and young lady of the household.
Seeing Luo Ge appear, she felt resentful - resentful towards Luo Ge and resentful towards herself.
If not for Luo Ge and the others, if not for her own arrogance that one time, the Fu Family might still have been prosperous and glorious as before.
Instead of being in such a sorry state as now, with nothing left, and about to lose their lives on this very day.
As she watched Luo Ge's carriage disappear from sight, two streaks of tears fell from her eyes.
There was a sense of unwillingness and regret.
...When noon arrived and the execution order was carried out, the Fu Family father and daughter lost their lives on this day.
"We've taken our revenge, we've finally taken our revenge."
"Father, Mother! The great wrong has been avenged, the Fu Family father and daughter are dead, you can finally rest in peace in the underworld."
Suddenly, someone cried out upon witnessing this scene, and many of the onlookers also burst into tears.
Some were laughing, but their faces were already streaked with tears.
It was as if a great burden had been lifted, as if they had been given a new life.
