Chapter 176 One hundred taels of gold, justify your name
As we all know, eggs are very fragile.
If you try to catch it when it accidentally falls, it may be smashed directly in your hand.
Not to mention that if someone throws it and catches it again, it will definitely break.
But look at the rotten egg in Bai Shuang's hand, it's not cracked at all.
What does this mean?
It shows that Bai Shuang’s martial arts are outstanding and her internal strength is profound!
Su Xingyang looked at Bai Shuang in shock and curiosity.
If it was a coincidence that Bai Shuang's acupuncture made him unable to speak last time, then it definitely couldn't be a coincidence again this time.
But in such a short period of time, what adventure can Bai Shuang encounter that can make her martial arts improve by leaps and bounds?
Su Xingyang is a martial arts practitioner, so he can see how powerful Bai Shuang is.
The other neighbors didn't know martial arts, but they had never seen anyone catch a rotten egg thrown at them, so they were shocked.
If you miss one hit, hit a few more.
So, seven or eight more rotten eggs were thrown at Bai Shuang.
But Bai Shuang caught him before he even hit the ground.
In the last life, after everyone knew that Wen Baishuang had joined the Demon Cult, she did not resist at all.
She lowered her head and allowed the neighbors to curse and smash rotten eggs.
She felt bitter because she was obviously an undercover agent of the imperial court, but she could only keep it in her heart and not tell her, and she had to be misunderstood by the uncles and aunts who had watched her grow up.
Moreover, no one from the court has contacted her, and it seems like she has really become a disciple of the Demon Cult.
After experiencing the death of his mother, being scorned by his neighbors, and being indifferent and out of touch with the court.
Only Wen Baishuang in the previous life could endure the humiliation and work harder to develop within the Demon Cult, gradually climbing to the position of leader.
But this time it was Bai Shuang's turn. Bai Shuang is not the kind of character who endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens.
Bai Shuang held a lot of rotten eggs in her hands, looked around at the people in front of her, and said coldly: "I have a clear conscience in everything I do.
Whether I resign as a government official or join Yanluo, these are the most correct choices for me.
It doesn't matter if you don't agree with the path I have chosen, you have opinions about me, and you scold me because of what happened in the past.
But you have to think clearly, I am not the one who caused the tragedy for Yi Xiang and my father.
But if you want to attack me, sorry, I will fight back."
“You’re still ‘knowing how to fight back’, so why don’t you try to fight back?
I heard that women who join the Demon Cult are no different from the women in Yihongyuan. How do you want to fight back?
Do you want to use your body? Come on, that’s what I want!”
There was a wretched old bachelor in the crowd. He took advantage of the large number of people and stood at the back, speaking obscene words without restraint.
But just when he finished speaking and laughed, a rotten egg hit his mouth accurately.
Suddenly a sour smell filled the air, and everyone around covered their noses and stayed away from the old bachelor.
"Ugh!" The old bachelor vomited all over the floor, pointing at Bai Shuang and speechless.
"Since your mouth smells so bad, let's eat some rotten eggs." Bai Shuang glanced at him lightly.
Everyone can see it clearly.
Bai Shuang just threw it lightly and seemingly casually, but the rotten egg was accidentally thrown into the old bachelor's mouth.
Doesn't this kind of ability mean hitting wherever you go?
Everyone looked at each other, swallowed nervously, and did not dare to speak again.
I am afraid that if I open my mouth, I will be thrown into a rotten egg.
"It's gone." Bai Shuang said nothing, threw the rotten eggs into the dirt on the street, and turned around and entered the yard.
After Bai Shuang closed the door, the neighbors walked home and whispered about Bai Shuang.
Everyone said that people like her would not be welcome back to Yi Township in the future.
Su Xingyang stood there for a long time, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
The next day, Bai Shuang held a funeral for the old man.
Bai Shuang had no feelings for her, he only held the funeral for the original owner, so he kept it as simple as possible.
And this "simplicity" fell in the eyes of the neighbors, which added another crime to Bai Shuang's unfilial piety.
In the wild, Bai Shuang used a shovel to lower the old man's coffin into the earth, while Chi Canan stood aside.
"I think it's better to have a grand burial. If you don't have any money, I can pay for it." Chi Canan took out a bag of money and said.
Bai Shuang shoveled a shovel into the soil, "Everyone is dead, what's the use of those vain people.
I have money, but that money shouldn’t be spent on these things.”
Bai Shuang has one hundred taels of gold, which he got from Zhong Youxia.
After burying the old man, Bai Shuang went to the county magistrate with the one hundred taels of gold.
Yixiang is a small town, and what happened last night has spread throughout Yixiang overnight.
Wen Baishuang once worked as a yamen servant under the county magistrate, so the county magistrate naturally knew her.
"Wen Baishuang, you..." The county magistrate hesitated, and finally could only sigh in disappointment.
Bai Shuang didn't say a word of nonsense and directly placed the baggage containing one hundred taels of gold on the magistrate's desk.
"What is this?" the county magistrate wondered.
Bai Shuang said: "Open it and take a look."
So the county magistrate reached out and opened a corner of the baggage, and his eyes were immediately blinded by the brilliant gold.
The county magistrate quickly closed the bag, his face shocked and nervous, "Wen Baishuang, what are you doing?
I have always had a clear mind, even if you give me so much, I will not be bribed by you..."
"It's because I know you are a good official, so I came to see you."
A faint smile appeared on Bai Shuang's cold face, "Just use this money to build Yi Township.
I know that the Yanluo Sect has harmed Yi Xiang, but my personal power is too limited, and I don’t know what to do even with this money.
You are the parent official of Yixiang. If I give you this money, I believe you can make the most of it.
Don’t worry, this is the money I got using legitimate means, it’s not dirty or stained with blood.”
In her previous life, Wen Baishuang was misunderstood and reviled, and she never let the neighbors in Yixiang know that she was an undercover agent until her death.
She has always been burdened with unfounded charges.
In this life, Bai Shuang used this method to make up for the original owner's regret.
One hundred taels of gold.
When Yi Township is rebuilt, everyone will know her dedication.
The county magistrate's nose felt sore and he couldn't help but say with emotion: "You are such a good boy, it's a pity..."
What a pity, why did you join the Demon Cult?
Bai Shuang turned around and waved his right hand nonchalantly, "I have a clear conscience for all my choices."
At this time, the county magistrate thought Bai Shuang meant that he did not regret joining the demon sect.
Later, the county magistrate found out that everything Wen Baishuang did was for the imperial court.
…
Bai Shuang did not stay in Yixiang for long.
In the evening, she and Chi Canan got into the carriage and prepared to return to Yanluo.
But when he was leaving the town, he was stopped by an uninvited guest.
"Wen Baishuang, I have something to say to you." Under the setting sun, Su Xingyang stood at the entrance of the town with a serious expression.
