Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Yan Yiyi still ignored him, as if he was just a clown.

At this time, Magistrate Du and his party entered the hall, slammed the gavel, and the court officially began. The onlookers tacitly quieted down to listen to what the eldest daughter of the Hua family was suing for.

Yan Yiyi and Xin Ye were just ordinary civilians and had to kneel when meeting an official. Prefect Du accepted their greetings and quickly asked them to stand up.

"Yan, what do you want to tell me?"

"Reporting to the Lord, I am suing Huajia Village Chief Hua Qi'an, clan elders Hua Qikang, Hua Qifu, Hua Qiming, Hua Qishi, and their relatives, Niu Datou, Hu Dazhuang, Tao Ergou, Wu Sanlang, You Fu, etc., for using the name of Hua Man Pavilion to bully people, forcibly abduct women, occupy farmland, and kill a total of 19 innocent villagers.

Please clear Hua Man Pavilion's name. We have no dealings with them. It's just that some self-righteous people took advantage of my father's relationship to commit crimes. "

As soon as Yan Yiyi said this, the onlookers started talking about it. Many of them had relatives from the same village as the victim, and they started talking about it to the people around them.

"It seems that the niece of my cousin's uncle was forced to marry by the children of Wu Sanlang's family in the same village. My cousin's uncle's cousin's sister's family didn't want to, so they said that they had Hua Manlou's support behind them and that they were relatives of the head of the Hua family.

Everyone in the same village knew that his family was indeed related to the elders of Huajia Village by marriage, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and marry his daughter off. Unexpectedly, less than half a year after his daughter got married, she was beaten to death. He even wished that the girl would cheat on him, saying that she deserved to be beaten to death. "The man sighed as he spoke.

The lady next to me asked, "Why don't they report it to the authorities?"

The man choked, looked at Magistrate Du above him, coughed twice, and said awkwardly, "I guess there is no evidence."

The old lady was a person who could read people's faces. She immediately realized that the lord in their Shacheng was not a good official who would stand up for the people in the past. In such a short period of time, he tried two major cases in a row, which made her almost forget what kind of person the above person was.

Then he said, "Why don't they seek justice from Hua Man Pavilion? Hua Man Pavilion does business with integrity and is not a black-hearted businessman."

The man choked again. This lady might have forgotten another business of Huamange. After all, Huamange never leaves any evidence when doing things. Even if they knew that it was someone from Huamange who did it, they would not be able to arrest them.

But the man forgot that he was a man of the underworld, and the old lady was just an ordinary civilian in Sand City. She only had a vague understanding of the things in the underworld. Another business of Hua Man Pavilion was rarely known by ordinary people, and those who knew about it would not spread it, for fear that they would be silenced by Hua Man Pavilion if it were spread out.

Most of Huaman Pavilion's assassination business is done by people from the underworld, or those who are powerful and wealthy. Ordinary people only know that Huaman Pavilion's main business is selling information and antiques.

If Hua Muchin had not taken over the Hua family's business and often appeared in the shops in Sand City, the people would not have known that Hua Mange also ran other shops.

Although the underworld people and common people in Sand City live in the same place, they are in different circles and know different information, just like the common people, royal nobles and officials living in the capital.

The information that ordinary people can know is all deliberately leaked by others. They don’t know any deeper inside information and dare not delve into it.

You know, there are many ways for people in the underworld to kill someone, and they don't easily leave evidence, so most of the cases will become unsolved cases, and the person will die in vain.

A fellow villager who was a victim immediately spoke up for his good brother: "Niu Datou is a piece of shit. He relied on being a relative of the chief of Huajia Village to show off his power and became the village chief. He has been oppressing us villagers. We are angry but dare not speak out.

Whenever we had a fight with them, Niu Datou would go to Huajia Village to ask for help and beat our young men up. Several of them had their legs broken and have not been able to recover to this day. They are either lame or cannot use their arms.

There was another girl who was even more miserable. She was taken a fancy to by Niu Datou's son, who went straight to her house and forced her to marry him. He did not take responsibility afterwards, and the girl hanged herself on a big tree at the entrance of the village a few days later.

It forced families with daughters to marry them off quickly. Now, except for girls under ten years old, there is no unmarried girl in the village."

"Even if your entire village joins together, can't you defeat Niu Datou's family?"

The man smiled bitterly: "Not all villagers are so united. Many people are afraid of getting into trouble and choose to swallow their anger. People are not united and there is a shortage of manpower. What can we do?"

"Why don't you come to the head of the Hua family to make the decision?"

The man wiped his face and said, "We only heard that the Hua family is one of the most wealthy families in Shacheng. We thought that the Hua family was just like the rich people in the city and would ignore us.

Moreover, few people from our village come to Shacheng. It takes us four or five days to walk to Shacheng. The farthest place we usually go is the town, and it takes us half a day to walk to the town.”

The audience understood that they were villagers from a remote small place and knew nothing about Shacheng. When they heard that the Hua family was a powerful and wealthy family in Shacheng, they were instinctively afraid and did not dare to resist at all.

The eldest daughter of the Hua family sued them all this time, so she asked them to be witnesses.

The man felt the sympathetic gazes from the people around him. The young man standing in front of him turned around and comforted him, "Don't worry, the Hua family in Shacheng are all kind and righteous people. They will not protect them."

The man believed this, otherwise the eldest lady in the hall would not have sued the clan leader and others and stood up for them.

However, with the comfort from the city people around me, I felt more confident.

At this time, the lawyer was reading aloud the evidence that Yan Yiyi had people collect: there was a case where a child accidentally fell down while playing, and when the child went back to complain, he was pushed down by another child. The falsely accused child died in the river the next day. The child's family members were either beaten or driven down from the mountain, some were injured or disabled, and the child's mother was even driven crazy.

There was one who bumped into someone on the road while drunk and held a grudge against the person. The next day, he found his brothers and went to the man's house, where they insulted the women in his family in front of him, including his 70-year-old mother.

That night, the family committed suicide by burning themselves. The remaining two men who were working outside were now victims and were kneeling in the lobby as witnesses.

The two men received a secret message from the villagers. They did not even dare to go home to collect the bodies of their family members. They gave money to the villagers to help with the collection, and they quit their jobs and fled overnight, and even escaped to Sand City.

They originally wanted to investigate the relationship between Hua Mange and the murderer who hurt them, but they were found by Hua Mange's people the next day. They were treated politely by Hua Mange's people for several days and went to court as witnesses today.
