Song Yunfeng took a deep breath. He knew that although the storm was over, it was a severe test for the county government.

He must enforce the law more strictly and fairly to stabilize people's hearts and ensure social peace and development.

On the beating ground, Zhao was tied to the rack, her body trembling, her heart filled with fear and despair.

As the board fell, her screams echoed throughout the yamen, but she endured it all silently, letting the pain tear her body and mind apart.

Song Yunfeng stood aside and witnessed this scene with mixed feelings.

He hoped that Zhao could learn from this lesson and become a kind and upright person again.

As the last board fell, Zhao collapsed to the ground, covered in blood, but her eyes were unusually firm.

Perhaps, this time of pain can allow her to be reborn and embark on the path of justice again.

Soon, the bailiffs finished beating the man with a stick.

This is only a preliminary punishment. Some of the sentences cannot be executed in court and have to wait until later.

Wang Huahua has been taken away because she needs to hide from the boss. At the same time, the man also sent her a letter of divorce.

Wang Huahua killed her own son with her own hands, so Wang Dazhuang would not let her go. Divorcing her was already the greatest honor.

In this way, Wang Huahua schemed against others, but in the end she lost everything.

I still have to stay in prison for three years. I don’t know what my life will be like when I get out.

On this side, after Shen Xiucai and Zhao were beaten, they both felt dissatisfied.

Although Shen Xiucai no longer had the arrogance he had just now, he still bossed Shen Yan around.

"Hurry up, Yan'er, why don't you carry your father back home?"

"Just wait for me. If I run into you again, I will definitely take revenge."

Mr. Shen only dared to shout at Shen Yan. After all, the person in the court was Song Yunfeng, the one who had just ordered him to be beaten.

But he didn't think that Shen Yan had already severed ties with him, and the two of them were no longer father and daughter.

And at this moment, Shen Yan had no intention of paying attention to him.

She did not leave, but walked up from the crowd and knelt down in the hall.

"Your Excellency, I want to sue you!"

The crowd around were originally planning to leave, but when they saw Shen Yan preparing to complain, they all stopped.

Anyway, no one has anything to do, so it's nice to be here and watch the fun.

Shen Yan watched as everyone stopped and waited until everyone was present before she expressed her demands.

Moreover, when Shen Yan spoke, her voice was particularly loud, as if she was afraid that others couldn't hear her clearly.

"Before I got married, my mother prepared a large amount of dowry for me. But now I found that the dowry was missing. I suspected that someone had stolen my dowry. So I came to the county magistrate to report this matter. I ask the county magistrate to help me catch the thief who stole the dowry and bring the robber to justice."

When saying this, Shen Yan took a special look at Zhao who had just been beaten not far away.

The other person had scars on his body, but at the same time, his body trembled violently, which showed that he had something to hide.

On the wedding day, the dowry was counted, but by the next day, everything had disappeared.

Therefore, the people who delivered the dowry that day must have some relationship with Zhao. They colluded secretly and stole her dowry.

After listening to Shen Yan's story, the county magistrate nodded seriously and motioned for her to stand up.

"I have understood your situation."

The county magistrate said in a deep voice, "This is a serious property dispute. I will send someone to investigate and find out the truth. If anyone stole your dowry, I will punish him severely."

The eyes of the crowd were focused on Shen Yan and the county magistrate, and they were discussing this bizarre case.

Shen Yan stood in the hall with a firm and resolute look on her face. She would not easily let go of those who stole her property.

Zhao stood aside, looking a little flustered, oppressed by Shen Yan's eyes, and felt even more uneasy. She understood Shen Yan's intention, but she could never admit to any act of stealing.

"Your Excellency, this is a false accusation!" Zhao couldn't help but speak out, trying to clarify.

The county magistrate had a sullen face and glanced sharply at Zhao.

"This is Miss Shen's lawsuit. I will handle it according to the law and will not tolerate it. If you have evidence of innocence, you can prove it during the investigation."

Zhao was shocked by the county magistrate's attitude. She knew that this was a critical moment and if the situation continued, her situation would become more difficult. But deep in her heart, she always believed in her innocence.

Shen Yan looked at the changes in Zhao's expression and felt calm in her heart.

She knows the fight is far from over, but she is determined to fight for her rights to the end.

The county magistrate ordered people to carry Shen Xiucai out of the hall, and then said to everyone: "This case involves serious matters and needs to be handled with caution. I will start the investigation as soon as possible."

"Now, I will order all those people who escorted the girl's dowry to come here and interrogate them severely!"

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, Zhao, who had been so righteous just now, now felt a little guilty.

"Yan'er, I don't think this is necessary. There must be some mistake. Maybe you remembered it wrongly."

I don’t know if it’s because she had just been beaten, but Zhao’s voice was a little soft, as small as a fly, but everyone still heard it.

"No need?" Shen Yan asked, "Since mother said so, is it because mother knows the whereabouts of my dowry?"

"Ah, I didn't say that. How would I know what kind of dowry you have?" Zhao completely denied it.

Shen Yan sneered. She was not in a hurry. It didn't matter if she didn't admit it now. Song Yunfeng was investigating anyway, and she had evidence in her hands.

Time is running out. Even if Zhao is a good actor, she won’t be able to continue acting for long.

Shen Yan's eyes swept over Zhao, cold and sharp. She knew she couldn't be soft-hearted now.

Shen Yan decided to put pressure on Zhao until she told the truth.

"Mother, I haven't said anything yet. Why are you so anxious? I didn't say that the disappearance of my dowry had anything to do with you."

Shen Yan's voice was firm, with no intention of backing down.

Zhao felt Shen Yan's determination and became even more anxious.

"Yes, it's originally related to me, Meiyu."

She knew that this incident might be difficult to get rid of, but she still tried her best to deny it, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"I really do not know!"

Zhao's voice was trembling and her expression was flustered, as if she was defending herself.

Song Yunfeng watched the scene expressionlessly. He knew that this was a complicated case that required a detailed investigation.
