Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Chapter 467: Do you accept it or not?

The governor naturally knew the situation of the more than 200 wounded soldiers, and when he met their eyes, there was no hesitation or evasion, only firmness and sincerity.

Zeng Jin and Liu Er, who followed Lin Xiaoyue to do bad things: I don't feel guilty, not at all. They caught the snake and pulled out the fangs. What do they feel guilty about? It's not their turn to feel guilty.

The governor pondered for a moment, and the balance in his heart had already tilted. He knew very well that these soldiers who had fought bloody battles to defend the country and the borders for the Dayuan Dynasty were more trustworthy than ordinary people.

Just as everyone was in an uproar, the yamen runners brought Doctor Wang from Baohe Hall through the bustling crowd and entered the court.

"Sir, Doctor Wang is here." After the bailiff reported, he stepped aside.

Doctor Wang, who was treating patients in the clinic, was so busy that he was dizzy. He was led all the way to the court by a yamen runner who suddenly appeared. He has not yet recovered from his shock.

When he saw the governor sitting at the top, Doctor Wang subconsciously lifted his skirt and knelt on both knees, "I, Wang Baosheng, greet the governor."

"Doctor Wang, please excuse me. I asked you to come here so that you can diagnose these people and see if the snake venom they were infected with is serious."

The governor pointed to the people in the old house who were shaking like sieves and whose faces were as pale as gold paper, and asked Doctor Wang to feel their pulse and treat them.

"No, no, big shot, we're fine, we're fine."

"Yes, I don't feel dizzy at all, and my feet don't hurt anymore, so there's no need for Doctor Wang to feel our pulse."

"Yes, yes, we all feel fine now. It's okay, it's okay. We won't sue anymore."

"Yes, sir, we won't sue, let's go back."

When everyone in the old house saw Doctor Wang approaching them step by step, they felt that every step was like stepping on their hearts. Their heartbeats quickened, and they felt weak all over and their limbs became limp.

The two brothers Hua and Tian from the second house let out a roar and immediately rushed out of the yamen like an arrow from a bow.

"Stop them." In a flash, the county magistrate shouted loudly, and the bailiffs on both sides pounced on them instantly, ignoring the struggles and wailing of the two brothers Hua and Tian, ​​and forced them to the ground.

At this point, even the onlookers outside the court could see that the people in the Lin family's old house could no longer conceal their guilty consciences.

Lin Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows. The people from the second room were still so impatient.

The truth came to light. The governor sat at the head of the table, his expression serious and his eyes sharp as torches, majestically scanning the people in the hall.

He slammed the gavel and shouted, "Lin Jinshi (Old Lady Lin) and the people from the first and second houses are narrow-minded and have framed the village chief. Such evil deeds are unforgivable!" The voice echoed in the court, shocking people.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the old house turned pale, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and their eyes were filled with fear and regret.

Ci Yang continued, "I will now fine you fifty taels of silver as a punishment. In addition, considering that Lin's grandmother is old, I will punish her with twenty strokes of the cane as a warning to others. Do you accept this or not?"

I dare not say anything even if I am dissatisfied.

Lin Xiaoyue has always felt that including in TV dramas, those in power always like to ask "Do you obey or not?" after punishing others. I always think this line is quite funny.

Looking at the people in the Lin family's old house again, they all had pale faces and were shaking like sieves, like dead leaves in the wind, about to wither at any time.

As soon as he finished speaking, two strong yamen runners came forward holding water and fire sticks. One of them held down Mrs. Lin's shoulders tightly, making her unable to move, while the other held the thick water and fire stick high up.

Mrs. Lin didn't scream until her old face touched the cold ground. "Let me go, let me go, you can't hit me, I know I was wrong, I am the grandmother of the Lord of Le'an, you can't hit me, let me go."

At this moment, the old woman remembered that she was the village chief's grandmother. Unfortunately, the bad words she said just a moment ago, with a gloomy face, and harshly criticized her granddaughter, regardless of the damage to the village chief's reputation, and wished to beat her to the ground, were still ringing in her ears. Now she was panicking?

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled coldly and watched with her own eyes as the stick drew a fiery red arc in the air, and then with a dull thud, fell heavily on Old Lady Lin's back.

The old lady let out a shrill scream, and beads of sweat instantly rolled down her forehead. After that, every time the stick fell, there was a dull sound, and Mrs. Lin's clothes were gradually stained red with blood.

At the same time, the people from the first and second wives who were waiting for the verdict were already pale with fear and sweating profusely.

If I had known earlier... I should have called the third brother along.

If the third brother was here, the damn girl would probably stop him out of consideration for the father-daughter relationship.

But they were worried that the third child would make trouble, so they kept it a secret and left him at home.

Now look what you have done, you are reaping the consequences of your own actions and shooting yourself in the foot. This is it.

If they expect that damn girl to plead for them, the sun will probably rise in the west.

plead?

Don't be silly. Lin Xiaoyue hopes that this group of jackals will die under the water and fire sticks. It would be a good bargain for these people.

She reached out to take the cup of tea that Xiaocao had gotten from somewhere, brought it to her nose and took a light sniff, curled the corners of her lips slightly, lowered her head and took a small sip. Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Xiaoyue's face.

He watched coldly as Old Madam Lin, under the power of the water and fire stick, could scream and wail at the top of her lungs at the beginning, but later her screams became increasingly painful and gradually weakened, as thin as the sound of a mosquito.

Some soft-hearted people could not bear to see such a bloody scene and turned their heads away in pain.

The continuous screams surrounded everyone's ears in 3D, and the sounds gradually became weaker and weaker, until finally it was almost inaudible. The people in the old house who had been waiting for the penalty were so scared that their eyes turned red, they trembled, their legs were shaking, and some of them even had smelly water stains seeping out from under their bodies.

I was actually scared to death.

After Mrs. Lin finished executing the caning, she fainted. However, with Doctor Wang present, it was enough to keep her alive.

The governor turned his gaze towards them and said in a cold voice, "The first and second branches of the Lin family aided the tyrant and failed to distinguish right from wrong. They are equally guilty! Each of them will be fined 100 taels of silver and given 40 strokes of the cane."

Amid the screams from the first and second wives, more bailiffs came forward, dragged everyone away and pressed them to the ground.

The water and fire sticks rose and fell rhythmically, and the people in the first and second houses cried for their parents, one louder than the other, in sharp and painful wails, which echoed each other.

Wow, this is really...good tea.

Lin Xiaoyue lowered her head to sip her tea, hiding her smiling brows. She had to admit that, although it was not as satisfying as dealing with these scum herself, she felt relieved to see her enemies living such a miserable life.

After all the punishments were carried out, the governor once again solemnly concluded, "In Yongzhou, there is no place for such false accusations and framing, and the distortion of right and wrong! If it happens again, it will be severely punished!"

After saying that, he took a deep breath and his expression eased a little, but the determination in his eyes still made people dare not underestimate him.
