Chapter 141: Teaching a lesson
"Tell me honestly, how many girls have you two ruined so far?" Long Chuqing asked sternly, one foot on one of the men's chest and the branch in his hand pressed against his face.
Both of them had been whipped by Long Chuqing with tree branches and were now in excruciating pain. They were filled with regret, never expecting to encounter such a tough opponent today.
Looking at this seemingly delicate and beautiful woman, they never expected her to be so powerful; they didn't even have a chance to fight back or escape.
"No, not a single one. Today was our first operation, but we failed. You beat us up!" one of them said tremulously, covering his swollen cheek.
"Slap slap..." Long Chuqing slapped his face several more times. "Still dare to be dishonest? Do you think I'm deaf? I clearly heard you say that you would choose first this time, which means that this is not the first time you have done this kind of thing."
Upon hearing the commotion outside, Zi Guang quickly ran out and saw Long Chuqing standing on someone's chest, whipping him with a tree branch.
"Miss, what happened?" Zi Guang asked anxiously as she approached Long Chuqing.
Long Chuqing glanced at Zi Guang and said, "Don't be afraid. These two are lecherous thieves who tried to take advantage of us while we were at our convenience. I'm dealing with them right now!"
"How dare they do this in broad daylight! Miss, are you alright?" Zi Guang asked with concern.
"I'm fine, it's those two who are unlucky. I was just thinking of teaching them a lesson. Do you want to come over and kick them a couple of times to vent your anger?"
Zi Guang hesitated for a moment, but the thought of Long Chuqing by her side emboldened her.
She walked over shakily, raised her foot, and kicked each of them hard several times.
Passersby who wanted to come in to relieve themselves were too afraid to go in after seeing the fighting in the alley.
They only glanced inside, not daring to linger, and hurriedly fled the place, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire and suffer an undeserved disaster.
Some curious people, after hearing the noise coming from the alley, ran over and stood at the alley entrance, peering inside.
When confronted with Long Chuqing's questioning, the two men remained tight-lipped, refusing to admit that they had ever abused women in the past.
Seeing this, Long Chuqing couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I didn't expect these two to be so stubborn."
She didn't want to waste any more time with them; she didn't have that much time and energy, after all, she wasn't an official who interrogated prisoners.
Left with no other choice, I had to resort to some tough tactics! Let's see if they're more stubborn or if her methods are more effective.
Before long, the two men began to beg for mercy. Their bodies were covered in wounds, especially their faces, which had been slapped into pig heads by Long Chuqing, making them look utterly wretched.
After being brutally beaten, they finally confessed to having followed women twice and committed heinous crimes.
After hearing their description, Long Chuqing felt very angry and kicked one of them in the groin.
They weren't completely crippled, but they were still in for a rough time.
The two men were curled up on the ground, clutching their groins, their faces contorted in agony, groaning in pain.
Finally, they tore off their belts and tied them together.
Long Chuqing took out the silver needles he carried with him and sealed their acupoints, rendering them unable to have sex in the future, to see how they would continue to do evil.
She stopped a carriage on the street, gave the driver some silver, explained the situation to him, and asked him to take the two hooligans to the government office.
Now that she has done everything she could, she just needs to see if the government will handle it. She doesn't want to deliver it herself, as that would waste her time.
The driver agreed and promised to take them to the government office.
He also has a daughter at home, so he deeply abhorred the behavior of these two hooligans, and he angrily went up and slapped them twice.
Xiao Han's side
The group looked around the place where the poems were hung. Suddenly, King Xuan was inspired. He walked to the table, picked up his brush, and wrote a poem in a graceful manner.
Everyone was very curious and crowded around to take a look. Upon closer inspection, they saw that it was written on the paper.
Snowflakes drifted in the darkness, fluttering in the wind, and pavilions and towers appeared, draped in silver.
I opened the door at dawn, and heard the soft rustling of my footsteps. I couldn't see the courtyard path, but instead, I saw jade trees and blooming flowers.
King Xuan casually tossed the completed poem up and said, "Hang it up!"
He couldn't help but think to himself, "Whether it's well-written or not, the important thing is to participate."
King Xuan's attendant stepped forward and took the poem from his hand. The attendant read it carefully, praised the poem, and then scurried away to hang it up.
"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, I've already shown off my limited skills before an expert. You are all much more refined than I am. Are you sure you don't want to write a poem? It's all about participation!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Rui looked at Prince Rui beside her and said with a slight smile, "Then I will write a poem."
Prince Rui said indulgently, "Alright, participation is the most important thing. Then let's sing a song. Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, you can join in too."
"You know what, I suddenly had an inspiration." After saying that, Prince Qi walked to the table next to him, picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the paper.
Upon seeing this, Prince Rui and Princess Rui also went to the table and picked up paper and pen.
After they finished their poems, they all gathered together to critique each other's work.
King Xuan then shared his opinion, offering his commentary on their poems.
"My second brother's poem is truly magnificent and grand! The beautiful landscape he describes allows one to imagine a magnificent scene."
He then looked at the poems in Princess Rui's hand and said, "Look at this one by my second sister-in-law. Every line is beautiful, and the poem is like a painting. It gives people a sense of being there. She is truly worthy of being my second sister-in-law."
He then turned his gaze to Prince Qi beside him: "Fifth Brother's poem is exquisite, a masterpiece of writing. Every line is meticulously crafted. I admire you. Compared to that, the one I just wrote is truly insignificant!"
Everyone laughed after hearing King Xuan's humorous comment.
Prince Qi spoke up, "Sixth brother! I think the poem you just wrote was quite good. It was realistic, very appropriate for the occasion, and easy to understand. It was very down-to-earth. Besides, didn't we just say that participation is the most important thing? Just have fun."
"I think so too, hahaha..." King Xuan laughed heartily.
After the lively atmosphere subsided, Prince Rui noticed that Xiao Han's hands were empty. "Seventh Brother, where are your poems? Didn't you write them?"
When asked by Prince Rui, Xiao Han simply replied, "I don't have any inspiration yet."
