"Taking advantage of the psychology of hunting for beauty, seducing with women, beating with violence, and robbing property is robbery; using threats and coercion to extort property is extortion; this group of thieves are so skilled and professional, and it is obvious that they have committed crimes more than once or twice. We cannot teach them to commit crimes again, otherwise there will be more lustful people who fall into their hands. It is time to bring them to justice..."
Zhu Pingan shook his head and said seriously.
My uncle was lustful, and he deserved the beating and the punishment he suffered. However, this group of thieves who set up a trap violated the law and discipline, and their crimes were not small, and they should be punished according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
"No, no, absolutely not, my dear nephew." When uncle Zhu Shouren heard what Zhu Ping'an said, he looked horrified and shook his head repeatedly.
"Yes, Lord Zhu, please show mercy." Hu Wei and Xia Qiang were also frightened and kept trying to persuade him.
Zhu Pingan looked at them.
"Nephew, don't. They asked us to sign a document that day, and they also said that if we dared to report it to the authorities, they would make the document we signed public, tell the teacher, and spread it throughout our hometown so that everyone would know. Once this matter gets out, how can we face people? Moreover, how can we take the imperial examination if we have bad morals? We won't be able to pass the teacher's test, and no one will guarantee us anymore. So, nephew, let's let bygones be bygones..."
Uncle Zhu Shouren said this with a look of grief, as if Zhu Ping'an would kill him if he pursued the thief.
"Please show mercy, sir, and spare them this time." Hu Wei and Xia Qiang also hurriedly followed suit to plead.
"Then we'll discuss this later."
Zhu Ping'an smiled and shook his head.
Although he said he would discuss it later, Zhu Ping'an still decided to write an official letter and send it to Yingtian after returning to the camp in the evening.
He was not venting his anger for his uncle Zhu Shouren. His uncle Zhu Shouren was lustful and trouble-making, and he deserved what he suffered. To be honest, Zhu Ping'an had wanted to see his uncle being beaten up like this as early as when he was taking the imperial examination.
Every year, my uncle would ask for money from the family under the pretext of preparing for the exams. As a result, he would spend more money on prostitutes, and less money on prostitutes. I don't know how much money he wasted. You have to know that the money wasted by my parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, and they worked hard to farm and weave.
He should have learned this lesson long ago.
However, the gang of thieves who set up the honey trap have committed many evil deeds. If they are not brought to justice, many more people will surely suffer.
Although these victims are certainly lustful, how many men are not lustful? It all depends on self-control. If a man has a little less self-control, he will definitely suffer when he encounters a young lady who throws herself into his arms or is reluctant to resist.
Crimes must be punished and the law must not be violated.
Uncle Zhu Shouren, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhu Ping'an no longer held on to him.
"My dear nephew, ahem, we don't look good. Let's take a shower and change clothes before we chat about the past."
Uncle Zhu Shouren coughed and said.
"Yes, yes, it is really rude of us to be in this state. Please allow us to bathe and change clothes before formally meeting the Master."
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang also responded.
"Uncle, please."
Zhu Pingan nodded.
While his uncle Zhu Shouren and the others were bathing and changing clothes, Zhu Ping'an went to the backyard to see Li Shu. Of course, he simply took a hot shower and changed his clothes.
My uncle and his companions begged for food and stole things along the way. Who knows if they have lice or bacteria on their bodies.
Li Shu is a giant panda, and this can't affect her at all.
"Brother Zhu, you're done washing, and you want Hua'er to help you scrub your back." Li Shu, with her big belly, brought Hua'er into the bathroom where Zhu Ping'an was bathing. Seeing Zhu Ping'an changing clothes, she joked in a sweet voice.
"Haha, you're late. Come earlier next time. Sister Li, you and I can take a bath together, and Hua'er can scrub my back."
Zhu Ping'an said with a smile while tying his belt.
"Bad guy, who wants to take a bath with you..." Li Shu said coquettishly, her pretty face flushed.
Hua'er's face is also rosy, and my uncle allowed me to scrub her body...
"Ahem, are the two little guys well behaved? Do you want me to teach them a lesson tonight? A good son is born under the stick..."
When Zhu Ping'an saw Li Shu's rosy face, he felt angry and coughed before speaking seriously.
Hearing this, Li Shu's pretty face turned even redder. She glanced at Zhu Ping'an with her eyes full of spring water and said coquettishly, "Bad guy, they are so well behaved. From today until they are born, you are not allowed to have filial sons under your stick."
It is already the late stage of pregnancy, and Aunt Wang has reminded me many times that I should not have sex anymore, otherwise the risk of premature birth will be very high, or even miscarriage.
Medical skills were limited in ancient times. If a child was born prematurely, it would be difficult to raise him/her alive. Even if he/she survived, he/she would often be weak and sickly.
Li Shu kept Aunt Wang's repeated instructions in mind and made up her mind that from today on, she would never have sex with Zhu Ping'an again. No matter how much Zhu Ping'an begged her, she would not agree. At least she would wait until the baby was born and she was out of the confinement period.
"Ah, uncle, uncle, you are too eager for your children to become successful. They are not even born yet, and you are using a stick to educate them? No, you can't do that. The two little boys are just a little happy in the lady's belly. How can you use a stick to educate them? You are too strict."
Huaer, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise, standing up for the two little guys.
Hearing this, Li Shu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ahem, no more, no more." Zhu Ping'an coughed, not knowing how to answer Hua'er, so he had to say no.
"I will talk to the young masters nicely, tell them to feel sorry for the young lady, be gentler when she's in their belly, and not kick her all the time. Well, well, if they still don't listen in the future, the master will be unhappy, so if you want to beat me, just use a stick. It's my fault for not teaching the young masters well." Hua'er said in a low voice, probably meaning let the baby go, and if they are angry, come at me.
"Puchi... Did you hear that? If you want to produce a filial son under the stick again, then you should educate Huaer." Li Shu laughed even harder when she heard that.
"Hehe, no need, no need. Just don't educate them in the future." Zhu Ping'an's old face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly.
Why is the young lady laughing so hard? What's wrong with the son-in-law? Why is he blushing? Did I say something wrong? Huaer looked at her young lady, then at her son-in-law, confused.
Seeing Huaer like this, Li Shu laughed even harder. Huaer became more confused and dazed.
