Su Youting, who had been quietly observing everyone present, moved. He stepped forward very quickly, and with his strong arms, he wrapped Ling Yun, who was completely exposed to the hatchet, in his arms. He turned on his heels and took the person away. The old cow comes forward.
Ling Lao Dalian, who could not hold back his sword, pounced on Lao Niu with his sword in hand.
With a splat, a stream of warm, bright red blood splashed high into the sky. Neither Boss Ling nor the He family on the ground escaped, and they were all covered in blood.
This knife just happened to cut off the carotid artery of the old cow. The cow's blood was as if it was free. The spurt was spectacular. The old cow didn't last long before he let out a low cry and knelt down on the ground. The cow's head touched the ground. , there was no movement.
A timid person in the crowd shouted, "It's murder!"
He fainted with a crunch, and had to be supported by the people next to him to avoid close contact with the earth.
There were several old men in Li Zheng who were well-informed. They had seen too many pigs and sheep being slaughtered. They also saw clearly that Su Youting protected Ling Yun in the end. The only one who was stabbed was the old cow, so they did not panic too much.
Su Chen, on the other hand, was angry and angry. She felt sorry for the old cow that she had raised for many years, and she fainted without even breathing.
Su Youting was a filial son, so he immediately used his hands to pick up Su Chen, who was rolling his eyes, and carried her to the house. Ling Yun came back to his senses and followed in to help her mother-in-law cover her with a quilt and place her properly before following Su Youting back to the courtyard.
During the process, Su Youting kept a cold face and did not say a word. It was the first time for Ling Yun to see such a bloody scene, and his face turned pale with fright. He was really following her husband like a little daughter-in-law who had no idea. dance to tune.
"An ox works hard all his life. The life of an ox is just like a human life. Boss Ling, have you thought about the reason you want to give when you meet the official?"
Boss Ling had already lost his hatchet, and his lame leg was trembling. When he heard Su Youting's words, his whole body was trembling.
In this dynasty, killing a cow was a serious crime. No matter whose cow you killed, you couldn't just kill your own cow. If you killed a cow in this way, you would be jailed and punished like a human being.
Li Zheng is considered the highest-level manager in the village, so he naturally knows this truth.
Even if a farm ox has reached its age, if it dies of natural causes, an official must be asked to inspect it on the spot before approval is given and the owner is asked to handle it on their own.
Li Zheng also took a step forward, bent down and touched the lifeless old cow on the ground, turned around and asked Boss Ling, "The cow is dead. Boss Ling, can you plead guilty."
As he said this, he was about to ask someone to tie up Boss Ling and send him to the county government office for punishment.
Boss Ling, who had a fierce look on his face just a moment ago, was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, "No, I didn't mean to kill the cow. I really didn't mean it. Please let me go. We are all the same." We’ve been from the same hometown for many years!”
Even Mr. He, who couldn't get up after being beaten for a long time, quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Li Zheng, please, please save our family. Boss Ling wouldn't dare to kill a cow even if he was too brave. He just wanted to teach my unfilial daughter a lesson! Just be noble and let him go."
Mrs. He is not reluctant to see what will happen to Boss Ling. The main reason is that if the cripple is caught and locked up, she will be more pitiful than the widow. The widow can remarry, but she can only guard the Ling family and live a hard life in her life. There is no day left to stand out.
Even though she was in pain, she still knelt there and begged with all her true feelings.
Ling Yun now understood what Su Youting was thinking, and was not stupid enough to intercede for the Ling couple who had been winking at her.
Su Youting was angry that these two people came to the house and caused his mother to faint from shock. He snorted and continued, "So, did you accidentally kill my cow with the intention of killing someone?"
When Boss Ling heard this, he couldn't wrap his head around it for a moment, and he kept saying yes with joy.
"Then we have to go to court to make it clear. No matter whether it's a human life or a cow's life, we have to ask the county boss to question it!"
Boss Ling and Mr. He suddenly woke up and realized that Su Youting was not ready to let them go. They kowtowed even harder to beg for mercy, even ignoring the broken skin on their foreheads.
Li Zheng knew that Su Youting had a relatively wide path and could still talk to people in the county government, so he asked, "Youting, you see this matter has already happened, how are you going to solve it?"
In the end, he wanted to make a big deal out of a trivial matter and advised, "Boss Ling is your in-law family after all. You should think more about it for the sake of the harmony of your family."
Su Youting understood the deep meaning of these words and turned his head to glance at Ling Yun who was following closely behind him.
They didn't know how friendly the picture of a strong man over 1.9 meters tall looking sideways at the petite Ling Yun, who was only over 1.5 meters tall, looked very friendly.
If modern fujoshi see this picture of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they will definitely let out a buzzing scream. The height difference is the cutest!
Little girl Lingyun rolled her black grape eyes, carefully moved her position, moved out of the shadow blocked by Su Youting, and pretended to cough and clear her throat.
At this moment, she could see clearly that everything that happened was exactly as she had calculated.
Lao Niu has really reached his end of life, and now there is cow blood everywhere in the Su family's yard. Everything has come true, except for the Su family's unexpected fortune today and Boss Ling's prison sentence.
"That me is closely related to what happened today, Uncle Li Zheng, can I say a few words?"
It is not an exaggeration to say that what happened today was caused by Ling Yun. Li Zheng saw that Su Youting did not object immediately, so he nodded and told Ling Yun to just say what he had to say.
Su Youting looked quietly at the small figure standing at the front with a straight back, and listened to her clear voice talking, "What happened today was caused by the second marriage of a greedy daughter of the Ling family. Since the Tong family has decided It is appropriate to withdraw someone's money and leave the matter to Boss Ling to handle on his own. Although the Su family's cow was a betrothal gift, it died tragically in Boss Ling's hands. It was an unreasonable disaster that my mother-in-law was frightened and injured because of it."
"Since the Ling family has been kind to me for raising me for more than ten years, I really can't do it by sending my parents to prison with my own hands, so on behalf of the Su family, I decided to let this matter go, but..."
Ling Yun saw the light of hope rising on Boss Ling's face and directly added a ladle of cold water. "Several village elders and Uncle Li Zheng also saw what happened. From now on, Ling Yun and I have nothing to do with the Ling family. The Su family and the The Ling family is not an in-law, and if the county government pursues the matter of the Ling family's cattle killing, it has nothing to do with the Su family. This beef should also be regarded as compensation for their mischief today in the Su family. I wonder if you think my proposal is reasonable?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Ling and Mr. He immediately turned their faces and protested, "How is that possible? This cow should belong to my family even if it dies."
Although the old cow is not fat, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The cow's skin and meat weighs two to three hundred kilograms. Beef is a rare commodity that is marketable and priceless. Even if it can't be sold for much money, it can still Eat for a long time.
Unexpectedly, some people in the crowd were already swallowing saliva greedily.
Ling Yun didn't waste any time talking to Boss Ling and the others, and directly replied, "If you don't agree, then send the person to the county government to see if he still has the life to spend the money from selling beef?"
