Meng Nan stared at them and shook his head. No wonder the Bai Family can do such a wicked thing. They were all selfish.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked.
Old Lady Bai, the elder, can do such a kind of thing, so why her children and grandchildren cannot?
Other family’s younger generations will rush to help their elders, but none of the Bai Family was willing to do so.
The two public servants position the Bai Family members in a good spot. They didn’t bring a wooden board specialized for punishment, they brought an iron scabbard wrapped with an animal skin with them, so they used it instead, which can be considered much more painful than the wooden board.
Old Lady Bai received a total of 10 board punishment. Although she didn’t faint, she was very dizzy, so she didn’t dare to move. After all, whenever she moved, she could feel the pain on her butt. She felt like a sharp knife continued skinning her butt.
The tragic sounds continued echoing in the courtyard. But for Bai Zhi, who was standing outside the courtyard like a spectator, those sounds were like music in her ears. Finally, they tasted this kind of beating.
Bai Zhi knew better than anyone else the taste of this kind of beating. After all, the real Bai Zhi of this era was killed by this.
The Bai Family’s cries in pain didn’t even give birth to sympathy and pity in her heart. Those two words should be given to them, mother and daughter.
After the punishment was completed, the two public servants returned standing behind Jin Shiwei. They were standing tall and majestic.
Meng Nan looked at the Bai Family and said: “This punishment is only a small lesson, but this official hope that you will all remember this lesson today. This official doesn’t want to hear you do the same mistake again.”
Old Lady Bai’s forehead has been covered with sweat, she was in so much pain, so she couldn’t open her mouth to speak. She only nodded her head again and again after hearing Meng Nan’s words.
When Meng Nan was satisfied, he turned and said to Jin Shiwei: “Well, the case is now solved. Give the 100 silvers coins to Bai Zhi. Those were the Country Magistrate’s wife reward to her.”
As soon as Meng Nan’s voice fell, the Bai Family’s face got paled in horror. They all stared and watched Jin Shiwei sending the tray with 100 silver coins to Bai Zhi.
What is going on? Why did the Country Magistrate’s wife give Bai Zhi 100 silver coins as a reward? What is the reason for this?
The villagers were all jealous and envious. They’ve never seen so much money before in their entire life. The tray filled with 100 silver coins made all the villagers drool.
Out of curiosity, the villager’s couldn’t help but ask themselves. Why did the Country Magistrate’s wife reward Bai Zhi? Everyone was very confused.
A daring villager asked: “Zhi’er, what good luck did you encounter that even the Country Magistrate’s wife is now rewarding you?”
Bai Zhi didn’t answer, Jin Shiwei, who was holding the tray answered back instead: “Bai Zhi saved the Country Magistrate’s son. To thank Bai Zhi, the Country Magistrate’s wife rewarded her 100 silver coins.”
So originally, Bai Zhi save the son of the Country Magistrate. No wonder the Country Magistrate’s wife will be so generous to reward her.
Bai Zhi took the tray that was being handed by Jin Shiwei. She knew that Meng Nan deliberately performed such a scene, not only to let everyone learn the origin of money but also learn that she was the benefactor of the Country Magistrate’s wife. And with this, whoever will think of harming her in the future, will have a second thought first.
But of course, the main reason was not only to let the Bai Family see but also to let them realize that they were wrong from kicking her out. Let the Bai Family’s intestines become green and have a heart attack due to regret.
