Chapter 422 Exile
Shangguan Haitang received Ji Xingle's letter, and before she even read it, she felt her scalp tingling.
Because every time Ji Xingle wrote to her, it was not good news, Shangguan Haitang put the letter aside and flipped through the memorials again. She would glance at the letter after reading each memorial, over and over again.
Finally, Shangguan Haitang was afraid that Ji Xingle had something important to tell her, so she couldn't help but open the letter.
As soon as she saw the content, Shangguan Haitang wished she could wipe out the entire clan of these troublemakers who brought shame upon her.
In the letter, Ji Xingle asked Shangguan Haitang to take care of the officials in remote areas to avoid accidents every time she passed by. He also joked that if she was not welcome to pass through Lingfan Kingdom, she would fly over next time.
Shangguan Haitang was really more and more ashamed the more she watched, and immediately ordered the officials there to be replaced, their homes confiscated, and they were happily exiled.
They also punished all the officials above them for not supervising strictly, deducted their salaries, and demoted their ranks...
Shangguan Haitang was angry but also thankful for Ji Xingle's letter. She had long wanted to deal with this group of old guys who relied on their seniority to bully others. This opportunity came at the right time. Now most of the important positions were occupied by her people.

On the other hand, the village chief and the official's wife woke up and found that the room was different and the person in their arms was different. They were immediately shocked.
As soon as the village chief and the official's wife met, they started fighting without saying a word. The dignity of a grown woman cannot be insulted.
He's already come to my house to sleep with me, and I'd feel unworthy of my identity as a woman if I didn't fight.
Madam Guan was so overwhelmed with anger that she had no mood to think about why they were here and why they were injured.
The village chief and the official's wife were equally matched, and soon both had bruises on their faces. The official's wife was so angry that she called her men together and beat the village chief again.
Zhu Jieer and the others were awakened by the pain. Their mouths were broken and they couldn't speak. They could only scream...
The old master and his sons-in-law were all stunned when they woke up in the official wife's bed. Even when the village chief and the official wife had a fight, the village chief didn't come back to his senses after being beaten.
What's going on? Aren't they at home? How did they get to this place?
Until he heard Zhu Jie'er's cry, the father and daughter were of the same mind, and the old master's heart was in a knot. He came back to his senses and ran towards the cry in a panic regardless of the pain in his body.
After seeing the miserable state of Zhu Jie'er, I opened my mouth to call out "my son!" But the result was only;
"Ah...ah...ah..."
After groaning a few times, the old master finally realized something was wrong. He reached out to touch his mouth and throat, but found no wounds.
Then I opened my mouth again tentatively, and the result was still ah ah ah...
His son-in-law followed behind him and opened his mouth to ask him what he was doing, but he just kept saying "ahhhh"...
A group of people stared with their eyes wide open, unable to believe that all this was real. They pointed at each other and started a dumb show.
Zhu Jieer was so annoyed by their ahhhs that she wanted to tell them to shut up, but they kept ahhhing when they opened their mouths...
Only later did she realize that she couldn't speak.
At this time, the other family members of the official's wife were also attracted by the commotion here. The two sons of the village chief saw their mother being beaten and hurried forward to ask,
Who would have thought that the wife who used to love them so much would now look gloomy when she saw them and ignore them.
The concubines who usually competed with them for favor saw this situation, although they did not know the truth, it did not stop them from confusing right and wrong and exaggerating.
They said they looked down on Guan Niangzi, otherwise they wouldn't have come uninvited. They said Guan Niangzi was so kind to them that they couldn't tell the difference between the big and small kings.
They say that wives of officials should be respected, not beaten up, this is insulting and disrespectful, they should be locked up to let them know who is the master here.
Upon hearing this, the official's wife suddenly realized something and immediately ordered that the whole family and several other women be locked up.
The village chief's two sons wanted to plead for mercy, but the official's wife said directly;
"I have never been beaten by anyone before. Your mother is the first one. If this gets out, where will I put my face?
If you want to beg for mercy, then you can go in with your family. There are plenty of men. I don’t need one or two of you. Don’t let your father’s people push me around…”
Hearing this, the two brothers shut up completely. The village chief was also given a mute drug and wanted his son to plead for them, but he opened his mouth;
“—Ahhhh!”
Seeing this, the official lady thought the village chief was provoking her, and she was so angry that she stepped forward and slapped the village chief twice;
"You challenged me. It seems that I have been too kind to you over the years and have made you bold. In that case, I will send you to the mines to do hard labor..."
Hearing this, the village chief's family looked ashen. The other women wanted to say that it was none of their business, but they found that they couldn't speak either. This made them become autistic.
They were afraid because the official's wife was glaring at them fiercely. If they dared to make a sound again, they were sure that they would be slapped in the face.
The village chief's family problems were solved, and the official's wife's husband and the village chief were lying in bed together...
The husband knelt on the ground and cried silently without saying a word. Seeing this, the official's wife realized that he had not done anything in bed, so she sighed and sent him and the village chief's two sons to the farm.
Upon seeing this, the husband kowtowed silently to the lady, thanking her for not killing him.
The two sons of the village chief were unwilling to accept this and wanted to sever their ties with the village chief, but the official's wife had made up her mind and the two men dared not say a word no matter how unwilling they were, because going to the farm was better than being divorced or sold off.
The man who spoke earlier was worried that others were having a good life, so he rolled his eyes and wanted to add some exaggeration, but he was stunned by the look of the official's wife.
The man smiled awkwardly, then turned around to show concern for the official lady. The official lady snorted coldly and relaxed, only to find that her clothes were all messed up and her face was aching.
He immediately rebuked the man;
"Is your father blind? Why don't you go get a doctor?"
Hearing this, the man and the others ran as fast as they could, fearing that they would be beaten if they were a step slower and not meet her expectations.
The assistant was also confused by this farce, and she forgot to tell the official's wife that a distinguished person had come to the village.
---
The villagers here knew that the village chief and his family had committed a crime and were arrested, and might never come back, so they were so happy that they ignored the cold weather.
They cheered outside, and at the same time they prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that the official's wife could be replaced.
A few days later, several villagers went to the town to buy food and saw a large group of officials surrounding the government office.
Curiosity made them quickly step forward to inquire, and they learned that because the official's family oppressed the people and did not act as a good official to eliminate harm for the people, the empress found out and took away her official position and exiled her whole family.
For a moment, the group couldn't believe what they saw and heard. How many years had it been? How long had they been exploited? So long that they were numb.
Unexpectedly, during this period of time, all the wishes they had prayed for for many years came true one by one. (;′??Д??`)
Now that all these bad things are over, their good days will be here soon, right?
