They say good news never leaves the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles.
The news that the Eldest Young Madam of the Zheng Family made fake pesticides which harmed the cornfields of the villagers spread throughout the streets and alleys of Pingchuan County.
People swarmed with the officials to the gates of the Zheng Family, surrounding them with curiosity.
When Zheng Junren followed the officials out the door and saw the crowd tightly packed with curious onlookers, he was deeply ashamed and furious.
Who in all of Pingchuan County doesn't know Zheng Junren? He has always been dignified wherever he goes, but now he is implicated by his daughter-in-law and has to appear in court.
Zheng Junren was resentful that Magistrate Yao gave him no face, irritated that County Magistrate Liu did not pin the whole crime on Xu Yong, and angry at Tong Huaqiong for messing with pesticides...
