Chapter 173 The Tragic Queen with Space 33

After hearing what Mr. Bai said, Ting He was furious. She never expected that her mother's family members were such bad people and had done so many evil things. They were simply unworthy of being human. She might as well go all out and make their evil deeds known to the world. Let the laws of the Duan Dynasty punish them, especially that Mrs. Liu. She must make sure that this stupid and vicious old woman gets the punishment she deserves.

After getting the news, Ting He obtained evidence from Mr. Bai that he had spent money to buy and sell beauties over the years, as well as evidence that the Liu family had trafficked in people for silver.

She took out a rope and tied up Mr. Bai tightly, then escaped from his mansion under the cover of night. Before leaving, she also took the crazy Lin with her. Although this part was not in the plot, Ting He always felt that a woman surnamed Lin who was abducted by Mrs. Liu must be from Linjia Village, so why not take her back to let the villagers recognize her? She had just taken her pulse, and the amazing thing was that although Ms. Lin, who was already over 30 years old and crazy, was still a virgin, which was simply incredible.

When she took Lin away, she also took Mr. Bai and threw him to the gate of the government office and tied him up outside the door. She also put all of Mr. Bai's accounting notebooks on the desk of the government office and waited for the government to open the court the next day.

The next day, a shocking news spread in the city: Mr. Bai was handed over to the government! His mansion was also looted, and all the treasures disappeared. People speculated who had the courage to do this to Mr. Bai...

Ting He brought Lin back home overnight, which made Wang, who had been waiting there until midnight, feel relieved. She hurried forward to ask questions, until she saw Lin in a coma. She was so scared that she squatted on the ground and couldn't speak for a long time.

When the worried people in the room heard the sound, they hurried out and surrounded Tinghe, asking him questions. Tinghe simply explained the situation to everyone.

Everyone was furious after hearing this, especially Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin, who immediately wanted to pick up sticks and rush to Mrs. Liu's house to beat her up. They only calmed down after hearing her say that she had reported the matter to the police.

Several people looked around Lin for a few rounds. Old Lady Lin was the first to burst into tears. She stroked Lin's cheek and whispered softly:

"Tonghua, is it Tonghua? I am your mother, wuwuwu, my poor Tonghua."

Everyone surrounded Lin, hugged her and cried bitterly. Only Tinghe looked at the scene with an unclear expression. Until he saw Lin holding her head and starting to attack people, Tinghe quickly knocked her out. After sending her to the room, everyone gathered together and explained the situation one by one.

Listening to everyone's stories, Tinghe learned that this Lin was indeed closely related to the Lin family. She was the youngest daughter of Old Lady Lin who disappeared for no reason more than 20 years ago. Tinghe should call her "Auntie". Old Lady Lin was almost angry to death back then. It was not until she gave birth to Uncle Lin that Old Lady Lin no longer fell into the pain of losing her daughter and gave birth to Uncle Lin - Lin Jinshan.

At the same time, the government began to investigate Bai Yuanwai's case. The evidence provided by Ting He became the key clue. The government followed the clues and discovered more crimes committed by Bai Yuanwai. For a time, Bai Yuanwai's reputation was ruined and he became the object of everyone's scorn.

After summarizing all the opinions of the Lin family, Ting He took his own carriage and the village chief's carriage to the government office with several villagers who had witnessed the incident, and resubmitted the lawsuit against Mr. Bai and the Liu family.

Ting He entered the court with a solemn expression. She walked with firm steps, each step was filled with unswerving determination. When she came to the center of the court, she first saluted the county magistrate calmly, then straightened her back and looked around with sharp eyes. She took a deep breath, slowly took out the reorganized petition from her arms, held it in both hands, and handed it to the county magistrate solemnly.

Her voice sounded steady and powerful:

"Sir, this is a petition against Mr. Bai and the Liu family. I, Lin Tinghe, along with other members of the Lin family and several villagers from Linjia Village who witnessed the incident, beg you to make the decision for us and give us justice!" The words were loud and clear, echoing in the courtroom.

Then, Ting He began to narrate the whole story in a clear and orderly manner, from the initial origin of the incident, to the various injustices and bullying suffered in the middle, and then to the various evil deeds of Mr. Bai and the Liu family. She spoke slowly and in detail one by one, sometimes filled with grief and indignation, sometimes heartbroken, and sometimes filled with righteous indignation.

During the narration, her eyes were as firm as a rock, without any retreat or fear, as if there was an invisible force supporting her. Her expression was sometimes serious, sometimes excited, clearly presenting the complexity and urgency of the whole incident to everyone, and the villagers who witnessed the incident also nodded in agreement, proving that what Tinghe said was true.

The atmosphere in the court was tense and solemn. Everyone was shocked by Tinghe's determination and courage, and waited quietly for the county magistrate's decision.

The county magistrate did not know who he had met with during the meeting. He came to the court in a panic and made the final decision:

"There is irrefutable evidence that Mrs. Liu is trafficking people, and all the Liu family members are accomplices. All of the Liu family's money and land are hereby confiscated. Because Lin Yinshan, the son of the Lin family, was driven out of the house, his wife Liu has been divorced and has returned to the Liu family, all of the Liu family members are hereby sentenced to exile. Mr. Bai has been trafficking women for more than 20 years and there is irrefutable evidence. All of his property is also confiscated, and he will be beheaded at Caishikou at noon tomorrow for public display."

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this, while Ting He and others showed relieved expressions.

The county magistrate still looked a little strange, and he continued:

"The evidence in this case is solid. All members of the Liu family are now detained and will be exiled to a cold and bitter place tomorrow. Liu Hao's title as a student will be revoked and they will be exiled together. All members of the Liu family are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations in their lifetime. Withdraw from the court."

After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling the bailiffs to act immediately.

When the Liu family heard this, they panicked and began to shout that they were innocent. However, their arguments seemed so pale and powerless at this time. Liu even tried to argue that Zhaodi was her biological daughter, but the yamen runners didn't care. They quickly stepped forward and dragged the Liu family away like wolves and tigers.

Then, the county magistrate looked at Ting He, the Lin family, and the villagers who witnessed the incident, and said with a complicated look in his eyes:

"You have provided important evidence for this case. This government will reward you accordingly." The people in the hall immediately knelt down to express their gratitude, leaving Ting He stunned. Just as she was about to kneel down, she was stopped by the county magistrate, who waved his hand and said, "Miss, there is no need to be so polite. Since the matter has been decided by itself, please say a few good words to the regent."

The turmoil in the courtroom calmed down temporarily, but everyone knew that there seemed to be some unknown secret behind it. Why did the county magistrate suddenly make such a decisive judgment? Who was the person he met with in the middle of the process and what kind of crucial information did he bring? All of this was shrouded in people's hearts like a fog.
