Zheng Wenchang held the paper with the footprints on it, and Yang Feng held Wu Daniu's shoes.

After comparing it several times and confirming that it belonged to the same person, Zheng Wenchang slapped his hand on the table.

"Wu Daniu, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"

Wu Daniu's face turned pale and he stammered: "Sir... sir... the common people have been wronged..."

Zheng Wenchang sneered, "You are still speaking out even when you are about to die. Do you want me to be severely punished before you can tell the truth?"

Zheng Wenchang had been an official for many years. He was not angry and assertive, and he had a sullen face. Wu Daniu could not hold on any longer.

"Grass...the grass people said..."

After listening to Wu Daniu's words, everyone present looked bad.

Mrs. Su pointed at Wu Daniu and said in disbelief: "Just because I don't give you money, you poisoned my chickens?"

Anyway, after everything was told, Wu Daniu was no longer afraid and spat at Old Mrs. Wu fiercely.

"I'm your nephew. You are rich and you don't even want to help me. What's wrong with me killing a few of your chickens? And you, Su Dahe!"

Hearing his name, Su Dahe looked at him calmly.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you play tricks on me? You still want my son to be your son? Damn you! You deserve it too!"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhaozhao immediately became dissatisfied.

[My third uncle is more intelligent than Zhuge, so he chased Li Du. How can he be unworthy? 】

[Wu Xiaoqi is not even worthy of carrying my third uncle’s shoes! 】

Hearing Su Zhaozhao compare himself with Wolong, Taibai, and Zimei, no matter how thick-skinned Su Dahe was, he couldn't help but blush.

But it's not excitement, but shame.

What can he do?

The third uncle’s only fan is Su Zhaozhao: Listen to me, I have the final say, this kind of thing does not need to be discussed!

Wu Daniu sneered and glanced around the Su family, "Aren't you just looking down on people with a few chickens? Your chickens are gone, I see how proud you are!"

The Su family was filled with hatred. When did they look down on others?

Does not giving money mean looking down on him?

In this way, it is the Wu family who looks down on the Su family first!

"Sir, it is true that Wu Daniu poisoned my chickens. Please make the decision for our Su family!" Su Youmin choked.

"Don't worry, I will handle it impartially."

After comforting Su Youmin, Zheng Wenchang looked at Wu Daniu and said, "Wu Daniu poisoned other people's property and caused the death of twelve chickens in the Su family. It is a heinous crime. However, I think you are a first offender, so I will give you a small punishment and a big warning."

Hearing this, Wu Daniu's face lit up, but after hearing the next words, Wu Daniu was so frightened that his jaw almost dropped.

"This officer sentences Wu Daniu to go dig the Heishui River for three years. In addition, Wu Daniu must compensate the Su family for all losses."

[Uncle County Magistrate, you have almost taken all the bamboo shoots on the mountain, leave some for the giant pandas, hahaha...]

According to the setting in the book, the hardest thing in the Chu State was to do corvee service, but what was even worse than doing corvee service was digging a channel in the Black Water River.

The channel of the Blackwater River was dug by the previous Hunjun. The channel was just half built when hundreds of thousands of people died before and after it.

In the end, the people were in dire straits, so Taizu of this dynasty rose up and successfully ascended the throne.

After the establishment of this dynasty, Emperor Taizu discovered that once the construction of the Heishui River was completed, it would have a great impact on the economy and culture of the north and south.

So with a wave of his hand, he ordered to continue digging the river channel.

However, in order to avoid the collapse of the country like the previous dynasty, Emperor Taizu ordered that only prisoners could be used to dig river channels.

Therefore, many prisoners on death row did not survive the day of beheading and were exhausted to death in the Blackwater River.

It is precisely because of this provision that the people of Chu State will not commit crimes easily unless they have no choice but to do so.

After all, committing a crime does not necessarily lead to death, but being sentenced to digging a river can definitely lead to death.

The same goes for Wu Daniu. He is not afraid of losing money, but he would never dare to dig a river.

"Auntie, help me..."

Wu Daniu crawled up to Mrs. Su and hugged her thigh. He was not as arrogant as before.

Mrs. Su turned her head to the side.

Forget about those hens, but the white-feathered chickens were all bred by her through hard work.

It's okay if she doesn't kill him, she still wants to save him, dream!

Wu Daniu climbed up to Su Youmin again, "Uncle, I know I was wrong. I will pay for it. Please let me go..."

Su Youmin snorted coldly.

Regardless of whether it was the past life or this life, the Wu family only added insult to injury to the Su family and did not provide help when it was timely.

I just didn't expect that one day when they become prosperous, they will also attract the hatred of the Wu family.

This time, Su Youmin was really angry.

Not only was he angry at the Wu family for being ruthless, but he was even more angry at them for being ruthless.

Beg for mercy for him? Don’t even think about it!

Wu Daniu knelt and begged to the Su family. When he saw that no one responded, he fell to the ground with a pale face.

Suddenly, everyone suddenly smelled the smell of urine. When they saw the water stains between Wu Daniu's legs, they all looked away in disgust.

Song Yun did not forget to cover Su Zhaozhao's eyes and whispered that it would cause needle eyes.

Soon, Wu Daniu was taken down.

As for the villagers just now, they saw that Wu Daniu had been sentenced to dig river channels, so they left wisely.

After settling the matter, Zheng Wenchang didn't wait long and asked someone to escort Wu Daniu back to the county government office.

I don’t know whether Zheng Wenchang did it on purpose or not. Before they left the village slowly, the news that Wu Daniu was sentenced to dig channels in the Heishui River spread throughout the village.

After everyone had gone away, it took a long time for the villagers to recover.

Originally, many people had little Jiujiu in their hearts after seeing the Su family becoming more and more prosperous.

But when I saw what happened to Wu Daniu today, all the little thoughts in my heart disappeared.

After all, life is more important than money.

When the village chief saw this scene in the crowd, he finally let go of his worries.

He had known for a long time that the people in the village were jealous of the Su family, but he had never been able to find a chance to warn them.

It's different now. Wu Daniu's fate is ahead of him. As long as his brain is clear, no one will think anything of the Su family again.

Taoyuan Village was rarely quiet for two days. Mrs. Su disposed of all the dead chickens and bought some hens to hatch chicks.

Although most of the chickens at home died, Mrs. Su was relieved that the Cornish chickens were fine.

Cornish chickens have always been raised alone, with their own water basins and food basins, otherwise they would have been killed by Wu Daniu that day.

However, this matter also made Mrs. Su pay attention. There were more and more livestock in the family, and it was still impossible without a gatekeeper.

When Mrs. Su was discussing with Su Youmin and planning to come back with her dog to guard the door, a shrill cry broke the silence of Taoyuan Village.

As soon as Mrs. Su opened the door with a dark face, she saw a group of villagers watching the excitement standing at the door.

Before she could realize what was going on, someone hugged her thigh.

"His aunt, please let the head of my family go..."

Mrs. Su frowned, and it took her a while to recognize this woman in ragged clothes who looked like a beggar.

Wu Daniu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yang.
