Chapter 43

After the seats were dispersed, Tan Lingyin walked away. She always thought that the magistrate was at most a cat, not a tiger, but today his eyes forced her into a cold sweat. The feeling of being ready to be pounced on and broken into pieces was not very good.

Like a pervert, Tang Tianyuan followed Tan Lingyin at a leisurely pace. When she walked faster, he followed faster; when she slowed down, he slowed down. The whole rhythm was well controlled, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Tan Lingyin was actually a coward and wasn’t very courageous. At this moment, she was in a mess, so she sprinted away wildly. She ran back in one breath, and fastened the door.

She stood in the courtyard and patted her chest, finally heaving a sigh of relief. However, she inadvertently glanced and immediately saw someone standing calmly on the wall.

Having experienced unpleasant events, Tang Tianyuan can pat his chest and assure that his martial arts may not be first-class, but his ability to climb walls was definitely superb.

"AhhAhh Ahh!" Tan Lingyin exclaimed, running back to the house. It was a pity that the house was locked, and she was so frightened that she couldn't even insert the key.

Tang Tianyuan quickly jumped down, walked behind her, and grabbed her by the back collar.

Tan Lingyin was forced to apologize, "Sir, I was wrong!"

"Hmm? What did you do wrong?" Tang Tianyuan smiled and dangled her back collar.

Tan Lingyin's body swayed, like a rat swaying in the wind. She lowered her head and said, "I shouldn't have copied Tang Tianyuan's calligraphy, let alone sell it for money."

She was quick to admit mistakes. But never expect such shameless people to truly improve their consciousness. The reason why she was wrong was because she was forced to admit it.

So Tang Tianyuan didn't let Tan Lingyin go, "Since you’ve done wrong, you will be punished."

"Punish?...How?"

Tang Tianyuan let go of her and smiled meaningfully.

Tan Lingyin folded her arms around her chest, took a step back, and looked at him vigilantly, "What do you want to do?!"

"Stop dreaming, this official will not insult you." Tang Tianyuan said, and suddenly reached out and tapped her left and right elbows. Tan Lingyin's arms immediately went numb and she couldn't move. He dragged Tan Lingyin to a tree in the corner and looked at the black and white goat from a distance.

"What are you doing!" Tan Lingyin asked in panic, kicking her legs.

Tang Tianyuan did not answer. He grabbed a rope and tied Tan Lingyin to the tree.

"My lord, I was wrong, please let me go!"

Tang Tianyuan focused on tying the rope seriously.

Tan Lingyin saw Tangtang running over to join in the fun, so she could only try her luck, "Tang Tang, bite him!"

Too bad Tang Tang had no teeth. He couldn't beat the tall and mighty bad guy, so the puppy could only stand by her feet and whimper.

Tang Tianyuan tied Tan Lingyin firmly before he went out the door. A short while later, he returned followed by his maid, Xue Li.

He pointed to Tan Lingyin on the tree, "Tickle for me!"

When Xue Li got the order, she walked over with a grin and palms open. She stretched out her hand and went under Tan Lingyin's armpit.

"Ahahahahaha!!!" Tan Lingyin laughed uncontrollably.

The goat's attention was drawn, ‘baas’ followed her sounds of laughter.

Seeing his master laughing happily, Tang Tang was no longer sad and started to hop happily in the yard before rubbing Tang Tianyuan's feet with his head.

This was a clear and naked act of betrayal. Tan Lingyin was in grief, but she couldn't help but laugh out of a physiological reaction.

Tang Tianyuan lowered his head and picked up Tang Tang. He walked closer to the goat and chose a spot with the best viewing position.

Tan Lingyin continued to laugh like a madman.

The three animals watched with relish.

"My lord, I was wrong, I was wrong, hahaha!"

"Stop," Tang Tianyuan gave an order, and Xue Li stopped immediately. He touched Tang Tang's little head and asked Tan Lingyin, "How much did you sell those four folding fans for?"

"Thirty tales."

Tang Tianyuan didn't lift his head, "Xue Li, continue."

"Don't, don't, hahaha! Three hundred taels!"

"Continue."

"One, one!"

Tang Tianyuan finally raised his head and looked at her, "Each one was three hundred taels, how many did you sell?"

"Four."

"Really?"

"Really! Really, there's still one in the room, I haven't taken it out yet." Tan Lingyin laughed until her face was flushed with tears, now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Tang Tianyuan nodded, "The fan was given to you by this official. Now that you used to make counterfeits, the money you’ve earned should belong to this official."

Tan Lingyin was not convinced, "But I’m the one who worked hard."

"Naturally. So this official will leave you ten taels of silver for your hard work."

Tan Lingyin wanted to cry without tears, "Sir, you can't be so shameless! For one thousand two hundred taels of silver, you only leave me ten taels?"

"Wrong," Tang Tianyuan shook his head and looked at her with a smile, "It's 1,500 taels in total, and there's one more in the room."

This was outrageous. Tan Lingyin retorted angrily, "That one hasn't been sold yet!"

Tang Tianyuan looked at the sky leisurely, "Oh, that's none of my business, I‘m just collecting payment."

Tan Lingyin had never met anyone like him. Usually, he looks quite haughty, but when he really acted like a hooligan, he was ten times more terrifying than a professional hooligan... But it was about the money! One thousand five hundred taels of silver! Tan Lingyin made up her mind that she would not give money even if she was killed. She turned her head, "Why don't you just kill me."

"Why would I kill you? Your life is not worth fifteen hundred taels," Tang Tianyuan said, nodding at Xue Li, "Continue."

Tan Lingyin decided to be a person with integrity, so she closed her eyes tightly and planned to resist to the end.

Xue Li did not move, but persuaded, "Master, it's not good to always scratch her here, Head Commissioner Tan is about to cramp, so pitiful. Why don't we change the method?"

Tan Lingyin opened her eyes and looked at Xue Li gratefully.

"How about scratching the soles of her feet?" Xue Li’s eyes shined while she rubbed her hands together.

Tan Lingyin: "! ! !" 

She was willing to die now.
