Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

As Liu Jin spoke, he let out a heavy sigh.

"Originally, I, Pei, did not wish to discuss matters within the household with outsiders. However, this woman has now made a scene at the county government office..."

"If I don't speak up now, my Pei family's century-old reputation will be ruined!"

His face then revealed a look of heartache and helplessness towards his wife.

"So it's Young Master Pei! You scions of noble families just can't bring yourselves to back down! Let me teach you a trick!"

Madam Pei looked at the old man who was speaking in astonishment.

She still remembers the old man's face was full of wrinkles, and his fingers were thick and calloused; he was clearly a farmer who had suffered hardship.

But what he said had absolutely nothing to do with simplicity.

"That woman needs to be taught a lesson! You work your butt off outside, and when you come home, you can't even get a hot meal! And she's always complaining about how poor we are! Heh, guess what?"

"I gave that woman a good beating with this stick, and she never dared to say a harsh word to me again!"

The old man spoke with great enthusiasm, spittle flying everywhere.

She clearly saw the look of disgust in Liu Jin's eyes, but forced a kind smile.

"The old man is right. I was just being foolish."

Liu Jinman's malicious gaze became undisguised once he turned away.

"My wife, I have no other choice. You've made such a big fuss, I..." He deliberately dragged out the words, "I really can't cover for you anymore!"

Madam Pei felt a chill run down her spine.

Just as he was about to run away, Liu Jin pushed him back down.

"hiss……"

Her knees were already unable to withstand the coldness of the black iron, and now, with the heavy pressure pressing down on them, she felt as if her kneecaps were being crushed into dust.

"You bunch of beasts!" she roared through gritted teeth.

This was the first time she had disregarded etiquette and confronted someone in the street.

Madam Pei still remembers pointing at the old man who was boasting about beating his wife and who smelled terrible, and pointing at Liu Jin's nose.

She almost told the truth!

But the old man plopped down on the ground right there in the street, yelling that she was unchaste and disrespectful to her elders.

"Snapped!"

Liu Jin's slap landed heavily on her face and body.

After that, all she remembered was the servants wielding their sticks, making a whooshing sound as they swung them.

The rods fell on her body, one after another, each blow heavy and dull.

She felt like a broken drum that had been punched through.

Two ribs were broken, and he almost lost sight in his right eye.

……

"Mother? Mother?"

Seeing that Madam Pei was rooted to the spot, Shen Xingzhuo gently shook her arm.

Madam Pei suddenly came to her senses and grabbed her wrist.

Her face was filled with stubbornness, and she spoke with tears in her eyes:

My name is Shen Guantang!

"That Pei Shiquan is utterly depraved, taking pleasure in abusing his wives and concubines in his mansion! Seventy-eight innocent women are imprisoned in the secluded courtyard of the Pei residence! Half of them have already died from mental breakdowns!"

"Pei Shiquan is not human! He is not human!"

"Madam Pei shouted, her eyes wide open."

It was so large that Shen Xingzhuo could see every single blood vessel on her eyeballs.

"This humble woman is willing to endure one hundred strokes of the cane and three years of penal servitude! Just to sever all ties with Pei Shiquan! To let his wicked deeds be exposed to the world! To comfort the souls of those poor women in heaven!"

After she finished speaking, Madam Pei felt a sense of relief.

She thought she was going to fall.

He fell on this endless straight road, and he fell into the Pei family's more than ten years of shady dealings!

But this time, several strong hands lifted her up steadily!
