Chapter 101: They Have All Gone Crazy

"Everyone line up, take it slow, no need to rush!"

Time passed quickly. In these past few months, Sanshui County's development had become better and better, and its reputation had grown increasingly larger. Deeply aware of the importance of advertising, Shen Yu even arranged for people to go back and forth along various trade routes to promote it.

More and more merchants chose to come to Sanshui County, making the place increasingly prosperous. Moreover, Shen Yu had not been idle during this time; he had taken people to scour the water bandits and mountain brigands of Sanshui County inside and out to ensure the trade routes remained clear.

Once there were no more bandits to suppress, he happened to see poor commoners crying uncontrollably on the main street because they could not afford medical treatment. Simply put, Shen Yu set up a stall not far from the entrance of the County Government Office to provide free medical consultations.

In this way, he could put his medical knowledge to use while also checking in through this method; it was truly killing two birds with one stone.

The effects brought by Advanced Medical Arts were far beyond what ordinary physicians could compare to. More and more people chose to come here for treatment, and the title of "miracle doctor" spread further and further, with many even coming specifically for his reputation.

Today was another day of full harvest.

"System, check in!"

"Check-in successful, obtained Yangqi Pill!"

Another medicinal pill was in hand. Although such a pill did not have much effect on his current self, it was quite useful for cultivating the people around him.

"Move aside, all of you move aside, the horse is spooked!"

Just as Shen Yu was putting the Yangqi Pill into his bosom, a horse's whinny suddenly rang out, followed immediately by a youth riding over on horseback. However, the youth on the horse's back was clearly unable to control it, and this horse was actually charging toward the crowd.

Seeing that it was about to hit someone, Shen Yu casually grabbed a pebble and flicked it, striking the horse squarely on the head. In an instant, the galloping horse was sent flying, and the person on the horse happened to fall not far from him.

"Sorry, the horse got spooked, are you all alright?" Climbing up from the ground and patting the dust off his body, the youth then looked around with concern.

"You ride a horse in the middle of a busy street? Did you not see the stone tablet at the entrance of the county town?"

"There's a stone tablet at the entrance of our Sanshui County? Don't joke around!"

"Du Wenyao!" At this moment, several people behind were rushing toward this side at high speed. When they saw Shen Yu in the crowd, their expressions all changed.

"County Magistrate, this person was riding a horse on the street; we chased him the whole way!"

"County Magistrate? You are the County Magistrate? So young!" First glancing at Shen Yu, Du Wenyao then looked back; someone had just been chasing him? How had he not noticed?

When he turned to look, well, these few people behind were old acquaintances, all childhood playmates. No, wait—these people were all proud individuals, how could they be so respectful to a County Magistrate?

"You all know the rules, right?"

"My Lord, rest assured, we all know them!" These few people hurriedly stepped forward, and without a word, grabbed Du Wenyao tightly, then tied him up with a rope.

"Brothers, what are you doing? We all grew up together as good brothers. With so many people here, how about you give me some face?"

"Brother? What brother? Sorry, we have no brother!" The few people did not give him a good look at all, appearing strictly professional. Moreover, one of them took out a wooden board from somewhere, while another began writing rapidly on it.

Du Wenyao leaned in to look; it had his name, his family, and the offense he had just committed written on it. It was logically clear, stated in a way that even he felt he was guilty. Wait, that's not right—it's just riding a horse, is it worth this much?

"Come, hang it on!" Hanging the wooden board directly around Du Wenyao's neck, these few people escorted him to parade through the bustling market, and they specifically went where there were the most people.

"What exactly do you want to do? Don't I have any dignity?"

"Du Wenyao, you rode a horse through the streets and nearly hit someone, but it was an attempted offense, and your attitude in admitting your mistake earlier was good, so it is not a major matter. According to the Sanshui County Public Security Regulations, you only need to parade through the streets for one day!"

"One day? To hell with you! And Sanshui County Public Security Regulations—since when did Sanshui County have such a thing? Are you trying to fool me?"

Saying nothing more, Du Wenyao immediately stomped his feet hard, his figure instantly soaring into the air. Did they think this young master had spent these years in vain? Even if they whipped their horses, they wouldn't be able to catch up to his light-body technique.

Turning his head, Du Wenyao glared fiercely at these few people from the top of the wall; he would remember these disloyal guys. Afterward, Du Wenyao did not linger, and with a few leaps, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Old He, the person has run away, are we not going to chase him?"

"Chase what? The Du Family? They are famous for being cautious. Believe it or not, in a moment his father will personally tie him up and bring him over. Write it down: Du Wenyao fled to avoid punishment, adding one degree to his crime. When he is brought here later, the punishment will be doubled!"

"Understood!" The person beside him immediately took out a small notebook and recorded it. At first, they had refused to do such work that offended people, but later they became more and more proficient at it. They didn't know why, but they even started to enjoy this feeling a little.

Could this be what the County Magistrate said, that doing good deeds makes one feel happy? Hmm, it seems to have that flavor!

At this time, the fleeing Du Wenyao ran all the way back to the Du Mansion, just in time to see his father walking out from inside, and he excitedly shouted, "Dad, Dad, over here!"

"Yao'er, you're back?" Seeing his son return, the Master of the Du Family could not contain his excitement. It had been three years; he hadn't seen his son for three years. He had grown taller and stronger!

"Dad, what is going on with our Sanshui County? When I rode my horse in today, that so-called County Magistrate saw me, and he actually dared to scold me. Since when did the County Magistrate of our Sanshui County become so arrogant?"

"And He Chen and the others happened to be there too. These bastards not only didn't help me, but they also wanted to hang a sign on me and make me parade through the streets! Brothers who grew up together, actually screwing me over like this, they... Dad, why is your face looking so ugly!"

"You didn't run, did you?"

"Dad, could I let them succeed? I ran away after just taking two steps. I haven't spent these years in vain; there are few who can compare to my light-body technique. They wanted to catch up to me? In their dreams!"

Du Wenyao was feeling smug on the side, unaware that the Master of the Du Family's expression was becoming increasingly ugly, until finally, he could no longer maintain it. Just then, he saw a servant nearby holding a broom to sweep the floor, so he snatched it away and struck him head-on.

"You little brat, who told you to run!"

"Dad, why are you hitting me?" He slipped behind the servant nearby; he hadn't even figured out what was going on, and his father had started beating him as soon as he arrived.

You have to know, in the past, his father wouldn't even bear to touch him with a single finger. He had only been gone for three years, Dad, you've changed!

"Hit you? Not only am I going to hit you, I'm going to beat you until your face is blooming like peach blossoms!" Raising the broom, the Master of the Du Family shouted loudly, "All of you move aside, today I must break his legs!"

"I heard my precious grandson is back!" Just at this moment, the Old Master of the Du Family walked out slowly and happened to see this scene.

"Scoundrel, who told you to hit my precious grandson? Put that down!"

"Dad, you don't know, this scoundrel..."

"Who is the scoundrel? Is my precious grandson someone you can hit?" With a fierce glare, the Old Master of the Du Family released his invisible force field, and the Master of the Du Family immediately cowered.

"Yes, yes, Dad, please don't be angry. This kid came back today and rode his horse through the streets, and he was encountered by the County Magistrate! The County Magistrate ordered the Law Enforcement Team to parade him through the streets to show the public, and this scoundrel, he ran away!"

"Ran, he ran away?" Hearing this, the Old Master of the Du Family's face twitched slightly, and he looked at his precious grandson uncertainly, "You really ran away?"

"Ah!" He nodded. He didn't know why, but he discovered that his dearest grandfather's expression had also changed.

"Give me the broom, I will break his legs myself!"

"I..." Seeing his grandfather about to raise the broom and swing it at him, Du Wenyao hurriedly slipped away, "Mom, Mom, my grandfather and my dad have both gone crazy!"
