Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.
Chapter 42 Trial (8)
Shen Yun's answer was within Cheng Jinchu's expectations. Mo Ling was completely relieved after hearing Shen Yun's answer. This time, he was just a bandit leader and an old man whose identity was not even certain. What kind of trouble could he make?
Mo Ling was even a little proud. She raised her eyes and glanced at Cheng Jinchu's face, which made her angry again.
No matter when, looking at that stunning face, one always feels jealous. How could she look like this?
Mo Ling lowered her head, her eyes were about to burst into flames. It was so hateful. It took her so long to get the Second Young Master Zhao to pay some attention to her. As soon as she appeared, all the men's eyes followed her. Just wait, after today, she would have no way to survive.
I heard that some of the prison guards in the cell are lustful. I guess there are some benefits for a death row prisoner like her before she dies!
Thinking of this, the corners of Mo Ling's mouth slowly rose. She actually wanted to laugh, but the occasion was not right.
Thinking of what would happen to Cheng Jinchu, Mo Ling finally looked up at Cheng Jinchu who was standing next to the princess.
For a moment, she felt jealous again. She had been kneeling for a long time and her knees were so sore. It was bad enough that that bitch could actually stand next to the princess. She remembered that from the moment Cheng Jinchu stepped into the court, Lord Chang had never told her to kneel.
Sure enough, she looks good!
Mo Ling is really stupid, but she has a smart side. When people say she is smart, she always looks stupid.
Cheng Jinchu sighed, maybe this is what it means to be the group's favorite. You don't need to be smart, just take others with you. The main thing is that I have someone behind me.
Logically speaking, when she hired assassins to kill Cheng Jinchu, she never considered that since Cheng Jinchu was still here, the assassins might be in danger. Or she should have checked whether these people were still there on the day of the incident.
Mo Ling’s main approach is to not care. Anyway, I have given the order and I think they can complete the task.
If Cheng Jinchu were to say, Mo Ling had had too many smooth sailing days, so she felt it was natural that anyone who did not get along with her would be quickly wiped out of existence.
It's just a pity that Mo Ling is just like her ungrateful father. She destroyed the first and most loving supporter in their lives, Mo Guanshi.
The leader of the Flying Tiger Village was obviously from another country. Cheng Jinchu had asked Chengzi carefully. Before the time went back, his secret room had not been opened at all, so his identity had not been revealed. He was now running for his life and could not possibly take care of the father and daughter.
Shen Yun put his own interests first at that time, and not identifying Manager Mo was the greatest help he could give;
Finally, as for the man who was hiding behind and guarding Mo Ling, Cheng Jinchu didn't disbelieve that he was a capable person, but given Mo Ling's current predicament, even if the Jade Emperor came, he would be helpless.
Cheng Jinchu looked at Mo Ling and smiled slightly. Mo Ling looked up and met that smile. For a moment she felt dazed, and then a feeling of uneasiness slowly began to spread in her heart.
Mo Ling swallowed and comforted herself, it was just a feeling and there was no need to worry.
But Mo Ling was still disappointed, and her anxiety finally came true.
She had been so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't pay attention to her surroundings. She came back to her senses amid the noise.
At first, she just frowned slightly, wondering why Lord Chang didn't bang his gavel when it was so noisy here.
After that, there were discussions among the people around her. She raised her head and looked to the side. Her father who had just knelt beside her and the three people from Liu County were no longer around. There were other people kneeling beside her, some she knew and some she didn't. Their appearance filled the entire courtroom with a huge crowd.
The man kneeling beside her happened to be someone she knew, the owner of Fenghualou in Liu County. She used to eat there often, and the food in that restaurant was quite delicious.
This is something that most people in Liu County knew. At that time, Qian Fa had always wanted to acquire Fenghua Building. If he was sincere in wanting to buy it and the price was reasonable, and others also wanted to sell it, then others would not have discussed it so much in private. Of course, they did not dare to discuss it in private because they could not speak it out loud.
Mo Ling glanced at the kneeling people, among whom were the owner of a rice shop, the owner of a jewelry store, and some people who were dressed in rags.
Although Mo Ling didn't know any of those people wearing tattered clothes, she felt the most uneasy when she saw them. Moreover, she also saw the disgust for herself in their eyes.
So, when that group of people started talking, Mo Ling almost couldn't kneel down. She wanted to faint. At least if she couldn't see, it wouldn't be so unbearable. But she had lived too well these days and was in good health. She didn't dare to pretend to faint. She was afraid of Lord Chang's eyes, the eyes that could see through people's hearts.
"Your Excellency, we are all from Liu County and were once tenant farmers at Xianyun Villa. When Old Master Mo was alive, we had our own fields and have been farmers who have made a living by farming there for generations.
Back then, Old Master Mo bought a large piece of land. He used part of it to build the current Xianyun Villa and used part of it for farming. In the beginning, he gave us money to help with farming.
As a result, not long after the old man passed away, the steward teamed up with the bandits to forcibly occupy our land. We even went to the county magistrate to complain. The county magistrate at that time was not Lord Ning yet. He had received benefits, so he naturally ignored us and said that Steward Mo had spent money to buy the land. He did spend money, but he gave us one penny and bribed the county magistrate with the rest. He blatantly took the land for his own use. "
"Since the county magistrate is a money-grubber, shouldn't Manager Mo have to give him benefits every year?"
These words were said by Princess Anle. Although the man didn't know the identity of the person sitting next to him, he knew that he was a noble person by looking at his clothes, so he kowtowed to the princess again.
"You don't know, there are three main cancers in Liu County, a bandit, a manager, and the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was mainly greedy for money. Of course, if compared with those two people, whenever something happened in the county, whoever gave more would get the upper hand. Of course, those who were detained could be detained for a symbolic period of time as long as the money was in place. Those who committed murder could be detained for a few days and then released as long as the victim's family did not mind.
Manager Mo is different from the bandits. They are the most terrifying people. If they meet someone who is disobedient, they will chop him up and feed him to the dogs. They also rob people's girls and wives, and in the end, they will give the victim's family a few cents at most. The county magistrate dare not intervene for fear of losing his life.
To be honest, the county magistrate was like a dog, wagging his tail behind those two men. Moreover, these two masters occasionally gave him a bone to chew on, so he lived a comfortable life.
After this person finished speaking, everyone around him fell silent. The key point was that they had never thought that they could have such a life. They were under the feet of the emperor, and there was really no official who had the courage to do such horrific things.
