Fix Smile Order - CH 124
Tang Tianyuan moved his position, and hit Zhu Dacong’s head again, this time with more force, “I came here with an imperial order to investigate an important case. Since I have become the guardian official here, it’s my duty to ensure the peace of this county.”
There were two more wounds on Zhu Dacong’s head. The blood flowed even more fiercely, looking very terrifying.
“As the son of a commanding official, you bully the weak, coerce innocent women into marriage, and kidnap ordinary people. These crimes are unforgivable.” Tang Tianyuan knocked Zhu Dacong’s every phrase he said. After speaking, Zhu Dacong had several more cuts in his head. Blood continuously rushed out, dyeing Zhu Dacong’s face completely red.
Tan Lingyin watched with horror. Is this really the Tang Feilong she knew? That coolheaded, gentle, and polite Tang Feilong? The person in front of her now…that look and that temperament was simply a hooligan who pilfers and fights every day! This, this, this…
Looking at the blood on Zhu Dacong’s head, Tan Lingyin was about to faint from fright. Seeing that Zhu Dacong was so motionless, she carefully advised, “Don’t– Don’t beat him to death, if something happens…”
Tang Tianyuan understood her concern and his heart warmed up. He turned his face and smiled at Tan Lingyin. The originally gloomy and cold handsome face suddenly warmed up, like snow melting in a warm spring.
Tan Lingyin: “…” How come she only realized how freely he could switch between the roles of a gentleman, a local ruffian, and a passionate lover.
Zheng Shaofeng slapped the table heavily, and roared, “There’s a time and place! Stop flirting already!”
Tang Tianyuan turned his attention back to Zhu Dacong. He moved his foot that was on Zhu Dacong’s chest and grabbed his lapel. He lifted him off the ground and asked, “Where is Tan Qingchen?”
Zhu Dacong opened his eyes and looked at him coldly, “Kill me if you have the ability.”
“Don’t want to say it? Fair enough. You have some guts.” Tang Tianyuan rolled up his sleeves, “Why would I beat you to death? I’ll make you an eunuch and present you to the Emperor!” He said as he beckoned to Zheng Shaofeng, “Come and help!”
Zheng Shaofeng responded cheerfully, and ran over to untie Zhu Dacong’s belt. While undoing it, he put forward his own suggestion, “I don’t think there is any need to look for a knife, let’s just pull it off.”
Zhu Dacong was overwhelmed. This were a bunch of f*cking psychos! F*cking psychos!
No, there was no way to argue with psychopaths. He originally thought that this inexplicable guy wouldn’t dare to do anything to him, but now was not the time to gamble. If they really pulled off his little ****…
Zhu Dacong struggled, “I– I– I– I’ll say it! I’ll confess!” Wasn’t he just a hostage? He didn’t intend to do anything to Tan Qingchen in the first place.
“Tell me, where exactly is he?”
“Room three of Changfu Inn.”
Tan Lingyin relaxed. “I’ll go find Qingchen!” She opened the door and ran out.
Tang Tianyuan also abandoned Zhu Dacong, and said to Zheng Shaofeng, “I’ll leave this to you then.” After speaking, he ran out to chase Tan Lingyin.
Zheng Shaofeng called a few bailiffs and asked them to untie Zhu Dacong before throwing him into a cell and locking him up. As for how to deal with this person, it depended on Tang Tianyuan’s mood.
As Zhu Dacong was being dragged away, Zheng Shaofeng added, “If you dare to reveal anything about today’s affairs, then you will be sent to the palace to serve the Emperor!”
Zhu Dacong turned pale with fright.
After dealing with Zhu Dacong, Zheng Shaofeng found out that there were still two more people in the room.
It wasn’t his fault, the main reason was that these two people were kneeling, so he could only see them when he lowered his head.
These were Head Commissioner Tan’s parents. Zheng Shaofeng was polite to them, and helped them up with both hands, “You…why are you kneeling…”
“Lord Tang, we were blind and did not recognize Mount Tai…” Tan Nengwen keep muttering.
Zheng Shaofeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Stand up and have a look. I’m not that bad boy Tang Tianyuan. I’m Zheng Shaofeng.”
Tan Nengwen and his wife had knelt for a long time, so their legs were numb and weak. It took a while for Zheng Shaofeng to help them up.
“Zheng Shaofeng?” Tan Nengwen repeated, feeling the name sounded familiar.
“Yes, Zheng Shaofeng,” Zheng Shaofeng was afraid that he would not understand. He thought for a while before simply explaining, “Well, my father was also a Chief Minister, but just not anymore.”
Thump! The couple knelt down again.
Zheng Shaofeng: “…”
Tan Lingyin really found Qingchen in the Changfu Inn. His hands and feet were bound and was also tied to the bed. Tan Lingyin untied him and hugged him. She distressingly consoled him, “It’s alright, Qingchen, I’m fine.”
Tan Qingchen wasn’t too scared, but he just didn’t want to let her go. She stood by the bed, and he sat on the bed. With his arms around her waist and his face buried in her belly.
Tang Tianyuan finally caught up and entered to see this scene. He was feeling quite jealous; it was not a good taste. So he walked over and interrupted them, “Let’s go, go back first.”
Tan Lingyin helped Tan Qingchen up. “Qingchen, it was the County Magistrate who saved you. Quickly thank him.”
Tan Qingchen made a gesture of thanks to Tang Tianyuan.
Tang Tianyuan patted him on the shoulder. “Let’s go, I have something to discuss with you.”
Tan Qingchen followed the two back to the county government office. He took a detour to go greet his adoptive parents.
Now, it was just Tan Lingyin and Tang Tianyuan. Tan Lingyin was moved and worried when she thought of the sacrifice the county magistrate made for her just now. “My lord, when you pretended to be Tang Tianyuan…”
“I didn’t pretend to be Tang Tianyuan.”
“…” Tan Lingyin admired his courage to speak nonsense without batting an eye.
Tang Tianyuan looked serious as he insisted. “I am Tang Tianyuan.”
Tan Lingyin caressed his face affectionately. He looked at her wet eyes, his head became hot, and he lowered his head to kiss her. However, Tan Lingyin turned her head away, her soft hands crawled along his face to his forehead, and felt it vigorously.
It was indeed hot to the touch.
“You’ve been possessed! What are we to do?!” Tan Lingyin’s voice trembled due to anxiety.
