Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"Oh my, this is so scary. How did it get bitten like this? How many snakes did it take?"

"Oh my god, I almost peed myself. Think about what they said about groups of three or five swimming around... Oh my god, I'm most afraid of that thing."

In the hall, everyone in the Lin family's old house was in tears. Their singing, chanting and sitting in meditation moved the sympathy of many onlookers.

In the hall, the governor saw that the Lord of Le'an remained calm and composed, while the people in the old house of the Lin family were jumping up and down, crying and shouting as if they were performing a play.

The governor rolled his eyes and said in a stern tone, "If there really is a poisonous snake as you said, where is the evidence? A bite from a poisonous snake would have killed you long ago. Why are you still so energetic and making a scene in the court? I see that you are full of energy and spirit, and you don't look like you have been bitten by a poisonous snake at all."

When the governor pointed out the suspicious points to the people in the old house, their faces changed several times. They collapsed to the ground belatedly, crying out weakly.

The governor, Lin Xiaoyue and others: ...

The show is too fake.

Before anyone in the old house could open their mouths to argue again, the voice of the governor was heard in the hall, "Someone, go and ask Doctor Wang of Baohe Hall to come over."

"And what about those snakes you were talking about?"

"Your Excellency, the neighbors who came to rescue the snake beat it into a pulp with sticks."

The assassin frowned, "In that case, what evidence or witnesses do you have to prove that it was the Le'an Township Lord who released the snake to commit the crime?"

"Sir, it must have been that damned girl who did it. Apart from her, who else could be so cruel and vicious and want our whole family to die?"

"Yes, it must have been that bitch who did it. Sir, please have her arrested and tortured severely. You will surely be able to get the truth out of her."

"How dare you." The governor slammed the gavel, his face darkening, "Do you know who you are accusing? There are no witnesses, and no evidence. You only rely on your one-sided words, and you want me to torture you to extract a confession. Do you want me to arrest the man and force him to confess? Or do you think I am such a foolish and immoral person who only listens to one side and believes in others?"

Everyone in the old house was stunned by the banging of the gavel and the questioning of the governor. They opened their mouths to say something, but when the words came to their lips, their faces turned pale again.

Yes, they have no witnesses and no evidence, so how can they prove that it was that bitch Lin Sanya who did it?

"Even if what you said is true, when did it happen?"

"Yes...it was after the fourth watch last night..."

"Fourth watch? Okay, Constable Wei, where did you find the Lord of Le'an this morning?"

A yamen runner wearing a red and black hat and holding a water and fire stick stepped out from the side of the court, bowed and reported to the governor, "Your Excellency, we found the Lord of Le'an on a farm outside Yongzhou this morning."

"Outside the city?! The city gates are closed at 20:00 at night and open at 4: in the morning. The village owner lives outside the city, so how could he murder them?"

"These people must have been falsely accusing the township lord. Fortunately, the governor was wise and exposed their conspiracy so quickly."

"This family is so evil. They used all means to plot against the Le'an Township Lord, forcing a girl who has not even reached the age of marriage to become a concubine. Now they want to accuse her of murdering her closest relative."

"What close relatives? Rumor has it that the village chief has long since severed ties with them. They are not a family at all."

"This is a good breakup. With such a vicious relative around, the village lady will definitely not be able to sleep well at night, and she must be on guard against these wolves and tigers pouncing on her and biting her at any time."

……

Listening to the discussions of the people around them, everyone in the old house had a buzzing head and couldn't say a word.

How could this happen? How could they be outside the city? Who wanted to harm them?

The envoy slammed the gavel again, and with a loud "bang", the court was shocked and the noisy scene became quiet again.

At this time, he ignored the pale-faced people in the old house of the Lin family, but turned to ask Lin Xiaoyue, "Excuse me, did the Le'an Township Master stay outside the city last night? Who can prove it?"

Lin Xiaoyue was calm and composed, "Last night, this village master did stay outside the city and did not enter the city. The rest of the people in the village can prove that what this village master said is true."

"Sir, all the people in the village are her people. Naturally, they are in cahoots with her and are in cahoots with her. Their words cannot be trusted." Everyone in the old house was so anxious that their eyes turned red. They were as excited as grasshoppers in autumn, and they all shouted one after another.

"Snap" the gavel rang again, and the governor's face was extremely cold. "Silence! How can we tolerate your noise and quarrels in the court? This is your first offense, so I will let you go for now. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily."

Hearing this, everyone in the old house turned pale and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. "Yes, yes, I dare not. I will never dare to do it again."

"Thank you, sir. We can testify that the Lord of Le'an did not leave the farm last night." Captain Wu came out with two soldiers, looking solemn and supporting Lin Xiaoyue.

As soon as Captain Wu stepped forward, the Assassin recognized him and had no doubt about this man's integrity, his honesty and his integrity, and his willingness to speak his mind without any lies.

"Sir, there are us too. We came here from Wanbao Town. We can also prove that Master Le'an was partying with the others at the manor outside the city last night and never left the manor."

When the seven gourd brothers saw that Wu Qianhu and his two companions stepped forward first to prove Lin Xiaoyue's innocence, they naturally hurried to catch up since they were a step slower.

"The guys behind them look like scoundrels, not good people, and their words may not be true. But look at the three in front, they are tall and straight, with a dignified and upright demeanor. You can tell they are from the military, and their words are powerful and must be credible."

"I think so too. Soldiers are here to defend their country and sacrifice their lives. We in Dayuan Dynasty are all good men. What they say must be true."

"I thought so. There is such a big scene in the court today. Since more than 200 people can prove that the village master was outside the city last night, it means that someone else must have set the snake to bite people."

"Isn't the Lord of Le'an innocent?"

"Not only that, I think it's clear that his close relatives who have severed ties with him are unwilling to accept this and want to slander the Le'an Township Lord and throw dirty water on him."

"These people are truly worthy of death. The governor must severely punish these evil people with vicious minds."

Just as the crowd was infuriated, more than 200 wounded soldiers stepped forward. Although they were injured, their eyes were firm and their voices were loud. "The village chief of Le'an was at the farm outside Yongzhou City last night and did not leave. More than 200 of us can testify to this!"

Their words were powerful and their weather-beaten faces were filled with loyalty and justice.
