I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 485 Do not do evil even if it is insignificant

Chapter 485 Do not do evil even if it is insignificant

"Hahaha!" Wang Wenzhou burst into laughter, pointing at Shen He and cursing, "This old bastard is a lunatic. Men, pull out all his teeth, one by one."

The head constable and the yamen runners didn't believe Shen He's words. What was Shen He's status? A habitual offender who frequented the prison. What was Wang Wenzhou's status? He was an imperial envoy from the capital! This guy dared to slap the prefect! If he was a liar and not Wang Wenzhou, that would be truly strange!

The squad leader received the order and instructed two constables to hold Shen He down firmly while he personally used pliers to pull out Shen He's tooth.

"Ah..." Shen He screamed in agony, unable to speak. Even if he did, the constables wouldn't believe him. What was going on? A swindler brazenly impersonated an imperial envoy, and everyone in the entire yamen believed the fraudster, refusing to believe the truth. Was this some kind of joke?!

Wang Wenzhou was very happy watching this. He hugged Li Mei and kissed her, then ordered, "I'm in a good mood today. Little Zhuzhu, tell someone to bring some wine and dishes over. I want to drink and watch the show at the same time."

"Yes!" Park Ri-joo crawled out from under the desk and nodded hurriedly. Although it was only a short two days, Park Ri-joo accepted her fate and went from being a young lady from an official family to a courtesan who could be humiliated by Wang Wen-zhou.

"Ah!" Shen He shouted as another tooth was pulled out.

Seeing Shen He's miserable state, Li Mei frowned and gently advised, "Husband, stop it. He doesn't deserve this. Why are you torturing him like this?"

“Sister-in-law! You have no idea!” Wang Wenzhou pointed to the bruises on his face and said with a bitter smile, “See? These were all done in prison, he ordered the prisoners to beat me up.”

He said righteously, "Originally, we were all in the same cell after committing crimes, so we were brothers in arms. But there are some heartless bastards who collude with the jailers to bully the new brothers."

Li Mei was both amused and exasperated. "My dear nemesis, you are an imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty. How can you be so friendly with prisoners in jail?"

Wang Wenzhou pointed at Shen He and cursed, "Shen He, this kind of prison bully, extorts money and shares it with the guards. He's despicable and hateful. He's also a prisoner. Although he can't resist the guards' oppression, he shouldn't be an accomplice to evil!"

Li Mei shook her head with a wry smile. Her nemesis's theories were truly elaborate, and she was almost convinced by them.

Wang Wenzhou continued, "Do not refrain from doing good because it is small, nor do evil because it is small. Few people can do the former, and such people are mostly models of virtue. Most people, if they have good intentions, can do the latter."

Wang Wenzhou grumbled, "But there are some malicious people who not only do things that harm others for their own benefit, but also things that harm others without benefiting themselves. Don't you think such people should be dealt with?"

"Ah!" Shen He screamed again as another tooth was pulled out.

Li Mei advised, "Husband, although he was wrong, you can't torture him like this. Just like that constable yesterday, you not only cut off his fingers but also castrated him. That was too cruel to him. Why not be more understanding and repay evil with kindness?"

Wang Wenzhou hugged Li Mei and kissed her, laughing as he said, "Sister-in-law, repaying evil with kindness is the behavior of a hypocrite. As the sages said, 'If you repay evil with kindness, what will you repay kindness with? Repay evil with justice, and repay kindness with kindness.' If no one in this world disciplines these bastards, they will become even more rampant."

"Sigh..." Li Mei sighed, she couldn't persuade her nemesis.

At that moment, Park Seong-woo arrived with his men.

"Lord Wang, your dog has been found!" Park Seong-woo cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Damn it!" Wang Wenzhou pointed at Park Seong-woo and cursed, "Who are you calling a bastard? Whose dog master are you?"

"Slap! Slap!" Park Seong-woo quickly slapped himself twice across the face, and said with a mournful face, "Lord Wang, it was my fault, your dog..."

"Slap! Slap!" Park Seong-woo slapped himself twice more and said, "I've found my dog!"

"Put them on the ground and let them come over. Our heroes and heroines have been wronged!" Wang Wenzhou said earnestly.

"Ruru, Ruru, come here quickly!" Wang Wenzhou waved to "Ruru".

Led by "Ruru", the three puppies wagged their tails and ran over.

Wang Wenzhou hadn't even noticed that "Huang Taiji II" had become "Huang Taiji III." After playing with the puppy for a while, Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Old Pu, you did a great job. Come on, let's drink and watch the show together!"

"Lord Park... Park..." When Shen He saw Park Seong-woo, it was as if he had seen a savior. He struggled to say something.

Seeing that Shen He's mouth was full of blood, Park Seong-woo asked in confusion, "Lord Wang, what did this man do wrong?"

"Hmph!" Wang Wenzhou said without any curiosity, "Go and ask him yourself."

"Yes!" Park Seong-woo quickly went over and said, "Don't use torture yet, I'm going to ask you questions."

The squad leader pulled the pliers out of Shen He's mouth, and Shen He was able to speak again. He said in a tearful voice, "Lord Park, I am guilty. I conspired with this little swindler to impersonate Wang Wenzhou and Lord Wang to deceive you!"

Shen He pointed at Wang Wenzhou and continued, "He's not Wang Wenzhou, he's a fraud!"

Shen He glared fiercely at Wang Wenzhou. "You little liar, you want to kill me? I won't let you get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, Park Seong-woo slapped Shen He across the face. No wonder Lord Wang was so angry. You old geezer, are you out of your mind? How dare you slander Lord Wang as a liar, you deserve it!

Park Seong-woo pointed at Shim Ha and said coldly, "Continue the execution!"

"Huh?" Shen He was completely stunned. Lord Park, are you out of your mind? He's not Wang Wenzhou, he really is a little liar. Why? He humiliated you like this? And you still believe he's Wang Wenzhou?

Park Seong-woo had his doubts about Wang Wenzhou's identity, and specifically instructed his wife and daughters to observe him while serving him to determine if he was indeed an imperial envoy from the Ming Dynasty. Park Ri-joo actually noticed something; Wang Wenzhou was wearing a jade pendant close to his body, a genuine dragon jade pendant given to him by Zhu Youjian.

Park Ri-joo immediately recognized it as an item from the Ming Dynasty palace. In all of Korea, only the Korean king possessed a handful of such precious items bestowed upon him by the Ming emperor. It would be a miracle if this person wasn't Wang Wen-zhou.

Park Ri-joo led the maids to serve the finest wine and dishes.

Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "I'm very happy today. Go and invite Jin Jizhong over. Let's drink and watch a show together."

Wang Wenzhou, with Li Mei and Park Lizhu in his arms, sipped his wine and watched the play, quite happy. Park Chengyou, however, felt wronged and wanted to cry. This mad dog, Wang Wenzhou, not only fed and drank from his wife and daughter right in front of him, but also made them feed Kim Ji-chung. Only Park Chengyou could understand the bitterness of this situation.

Park Seong-woo took a swig of his drink and prayed in his heart, "Madam Wang, please come quickly and take your mad dog away. If this man doesn't leave soon, I'll be tortured to death by him!"
