Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

After listening to Xiao Zhixue's rebuttal, Liu Yu and other officials on the side exchanged subtle glances with each other and finally chose to remain silent. After all, without solid evidence, any remarks would seem pale and powerless.

Xiao Zhixue was satisfied with this tacit attitude, and then turned around and confidently faced the master, ready to start the next confrontation.

"Sir, you have to do us justice. It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the three of us were walking through the lush and quiet wilderness, thinking only of finding those precious herbs to cure my old mother's chronic illness. Who would have thought that in this green grass, an unexpected disaster would quietly come."

Xiao Zhixue's eyes were sharp, and her finger pointed firmly at the unfriendly Xiao Wang and Fang. "As if they smelled a weak scent, they jumped off the gorgeously decorated carriage and kept pestering me. In addition to punching and kicking me, they also called me a fool and insulted me. My brothers were all there and witnessed everything. Their testimony will definitely prove my innocence."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan immediately stepped forward, their faces full of indignation and determination.

"Sir, everything I said is true. Those two not only hurt me, but also spoke evil words that directly pointed at my mind. I beg you to investigate in detail and give us justice."

Their words revealed an unquestionable firmness, like a mountain spring, clear and powerful.

Just as the master was about to speak, Xiao Wang beat him to the punch. His fury came suddenly like a summer thunderstorm.

"Xiao Zhixue, you're right to hurt us? Calling you a fool is too easy for you. I wish I could kill you right now!"

Xiao Wang's anger surged like a tide, and his trembling fingers pointed directly at Xiao Zhixue, as if he wanted to convey all his resentment through this simple action.

However, before he finished his words, Xiao Zhixue's figure suddenly flashed, like a spirit deer in the woods, agile and decisive.

She just waved her arm lightly, and Xiao Wang's originally aggressive finger was hit accurately.

That blow hit him right on the wound he had suffered earlier.

Suddenly, a tearing pain spread from the wound. Xiao Wang's face turned pale with pain. He screamed and quickly withdrew his hand. His whole body was shaking with pain.

Seeing her husband's arm bleeding again, Fang felt distressed and angry. She was about to explode, but when her eyes met Xiao Zhixue's cold and sharp gaze, all the words were stuck in her throat. She could only lower her head silently, not daring to look at her.

Xiao Zhixue stared at Xiao Wang coldly, her voice cold and harsh, without any warmth: "I hate it most in my life when people point fingers at me. If you try it again, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. I will break your fingers and feed them to the dogs!"

Xiao Wang's whole body was trembling. Although he was furious, he didn't dare to provoke again.

His heart was full of doubts. Why did Xiao Zhixue, the fool who was once bullied by others, become so strong today? Not only did she dare to fight back, but she also had amazing strength. There was no trace of her former foolish appearance at all.

At this moment, the blood dripping from the wound on his arm seemed to be mocking his powerlessness. The pain and numbness intertwined made him worry that this arm might really be useless.

The master had been observing for a long time and had already made a judgment on Xiao Zhixue's attitude.

He did not stop Xiao Zhixue from giving Xiao Wang a lesson. Instead, he waited for her to vent her anger before approaching her with a somewhat mysterious smile, his attitude gentle but alert.

"Oh, I am so rude. I didn't expect you to come here in person, Miss Xiao. I shouldn't have been able to come and greet you."

Then, he turned to Liu Yu beside him and ordered: "Liu Yu, quickly prepare a chair for Miss Xiao and let her rest for a while."

Liu Yu took action immediately, brought a carved wooden chair, and placed it respectfully in front of Xiao Zhixue.

Xiao Zhixue accepted it calmly and sat on it gracefully, crossing her legs lightly and raising her chin slightly. With a hint of disdain and arrogance in her eyes, she looked down upon Xiao Wang and the other three, as if she was examining a group of humble ants.

Xiao Tingrui and Xiao Tingxuan stood tall behind her like loyal guards, forming a solid barrier.

This series of unexpected events left Xiao Wang and the other three stunned. For a moment they were in a trance, as if they were in a dream.

Especially Dingxiang, her eyes were almost spitting fire, full of unwillingness and resentment, as if she was deeply hurt by the master's actions.

"She, the murderer, is being treated so well! You even gave her a chair to sit on! Call out your mayor immediately. I want to ask for an explanation in person!"

As the daughter of the mayor of Jinguan Town, Dingxiang had never seen the town's legal advisor be so magnanimous to those who hurt others. Her heart was full of questions and confusion about this world where right and wrong were reversed.

Xiao Wang and Fang gradually recovered from their shock. They looked at each other with confusion in their hearts.

They were all born and raised in Taohuanan Town. Although they had not been involved in officialdom for many years, they understood some of its rules and dignity. The unusual behavior of the legal advisor at this moment made them wonder if something went wrong. Has the world really changed?

In the past days, I have never witnessed such an absurd scene: the evildoer sat leisurely in the court, ordering people around; while the innocent people who were humiliated seemed to have become unforgivable sinners, kneeling on the ground, in unbearable pain, and the people around them turned a blind eye, and no one extended a helping hand to help them get rid of it.

The master's nostrils flared slightly in disdain, his eyes glanced sideways, revealing a deep disdain, and he directed his contempt directly at Ding Xiang.

"Why are you howling? If you murmur again, I'll give you thirty lashes!"

The master's words were forceful, cold as ice, and powerful.

As soon as he finished speaking, the officers on both sides, like beasts that had received an order, dropped their wooden sticks instantly, making heavy clanging sounds, and shouted the deafening slogan in unison: "Mighty—Wu—!"

This incident frightened Ding Xiang so much that her face turned pale instantly, and the words of rebuttal that were about to surge into her throat were forced back into her chest.

She had never expected that the twists and turns of fate would push her into such a situation.

The departure of his parents was full of mystery, and he almost lost his life at the hands of Xiao Zhixue.

At this moment, she only felt her legs were numb. She was kneeling on the bluestone slabs of the mayor's mansion, not even given a chance to sit down and rest.

She was just stating the facts, but she was almost punished to pieces by this cruel lawyer.

Dingxiang gnashed her teeth secretly, feeling so angry and unwilling, she could only endure it silently.

She bit her lower lip tightly, cursing Xiao Zhixue, her master, and their ancestors for generations in her heart.

Then, the master turned his head and asked the other three people coldly: "If it was done by Miss Xiao, then produce evidence."
