The two walked back to the front hall, and Wan Qingyan had a faint smile on his face.

Li Guoan frowned when he saw Wan Qingyan smile.

He glanced at the dead body, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Come here, bring Master Ma up here."

Wan Qingyan slammed the gavel, shouted, and gave orders.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The two soldiers took the order and walked quickly towards the prison.

Wan Qingyan, now only soldiers brought from the capital are used.

As for the local soldiers and yamen runners in Qingzhou.

She didn't trust them and only let them do rough and hard work.

Li Guoan didn't say anything, but stared at Wan Qingyan silently with a relaxed and contented look.

Wan Qingyan did not avoid her gaze, and their eyes met.

There was a fierce eye exchange, even though no one was speaking.

But they used their eyes to understand each other very well and cursed each other's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Your Highness, Lord Ma is here!"

Two soldiers carried Ma Chengguo to the court.

Ma Chengguo had not yet had time to kneel down and was observing his surroundings.

A soldier kicked her knee hard, causing her to kneel down immediately.

"How dare you kick me? Just wait for me!"

Ma Chengguo is still a dog that can't change its bad habits, and he saw Li Guoan coming.

He started to speak nonsense again and became arrogant.

"Master Ma, are you still showing off your power? What's wrong with kicking you? I'll slap you too!

You dared to roar in court? Slap him twenty times, beat him hard!

Wan Qingyan smiled contemptuously and gave orders.

"Master Li, save me, save me quickly..."

Ma Chengguo panicked, struggled violently, and looked at Li Guoan for help.

"Your Highness, it's against the rules to torture him without even conducting an interrogation!"

Li Guoan bowed and asked, his words full of thorns.

"I am punishing Lord Ma for the crime of roaring in court.

Why are you butting in? Are you going to yell in court too?"

Are you deaf and didn't hear what she just said?"

Wan Qingyan didn't bother to be sarcastic this time and just went straight to the point of anger.

Li Guoan was speechless and couldn't say anything even when he opened his mouth.

"Execution!"

Wan Qingyan waved his hand and shouted.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The soldier took out a short wooden board of moderate thickness.

He hit Ma Chengguo's thick lips hard.

As soon as she was hit, her mouth turned red and the pain made her cry.

The man kneeling beside him saw Ma Chengguo's miserable appearance and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.

He never thought that he would have such a satisfying moment in his lifetime.

The days when I was humiliated and beaten by Ma Chengguo came to my mind.

To outsiders, he was a glorious groom.

He had no worries about food and clothing, and he also had a legitimate daughter.

But the pain in private cannot be expressed in words.

Ma Chengguo is lustful and has unspeakable perverted hobbies.

If he didn't cooperate, she would insult him at best and beat him up at worst.

He was nearly strangled to death by her several times.

She was also smart enough not to hit him in the face, but only on the body so that no one could see.

He wished she would not go home and die outside.

But good people don’t live long, but bad people live for a thousand years.

He had already made up his mind to be tortured for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, Wan Qingyan appeared and gave him the opportunity to choose.

At that moment he was so happy that new hope ignited in his heart.

"Your Highness, the twenty slaps have been completed!"

The soldier held the wooden board in his hand, waiting for the next instruction.

The wooden boards were stained red with blood.

Ma Chengguo's mouth was swollen and bruised, with blood all around the corners of his mouth.

Her eyes were glazed over and her expression was dull; she had been stunned.

"Get a bucket of well water and pour it over her head to sober her up so she can talk."

Wan Qingyan glanced at Ma Chengguo, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The soldier immediately went to fetch water.

After a while, the soldier came back with a bucket full of well water.

It poured directly on Ma Chengguo's head. She was instantly startled and jumped up and shouted.

“Ahhhh… It’s so cold…”

The man was amused by Ma Chengguo's miserable appearance.

He covered his mouth and laughed secretly. Ma Chengguo heard it and became angry and embarrassed.

If she can't deal with these officials, how can she deal with her husband?

She suddenly rushed over, kicked the man in the stomach and cursed.

"You bitch, you dare to laugh at me, you don't want to live anymore, right?

I’ll beat you to death, you bitch, go to hell…”

The man was kicked several times and dodged the attacks while enduring the pain.

"You dare to assault a witness in court, Master Ma, you are the one who wants to die."

Wan Qingyan threw the gavel and it hit Ma Chengguo on the forehead.

She didn't hold back at all, and blood immediately gushed out of Ma Chengguo's forehead.

Covering his head, he screamed.

"Someone, control her for me."

Wan Qingyan frowned and shouted angrily.

She could hardly suppress the murderous intent in her heart.

Two soldiers immediately held Ma Chengguo on the left and right to prevent her from moving.

"Master Li, do you have any opinions this time?"

Wan Qingyan suddenly sneered and asked Li Guoan what he meant.

Li Guoan was slightly startled, not knowing what Wan Qingyan was planning.

Seeing Ma Chengguo's miserable appearance, she was even more reluctant to speak.

The purpose of her coming was not to save Ma Chengguo.

Instead, we should let Ma Chengguo die in peace and stop making irrelevant remarks.

"Your Highness, please make the decision!"

Li Guoan replied calmly, his expression composed.

“Master Ma, you will be disappointed, your savior is gone!

Lord Li has clearly stated that he has no objection and will let me deal with you as I please!"

Wan Qingyan deliberately added fuel to the fire, even though he couldn't get direct evidence.

It would be nice to use this incident to disgust Li Guoan.

It can also divide them internally.

This time it’s Ma Chengguo, who will it be next time?

Will Li Guoan also sacrifice the car to save the driver like this time?

Plant the seeds of doubt and they will take root and sprout in your heart.

Li Guoan suppressed his anger and remained silent.

"Master Ma, your annual salary is only five hundred taels!

Why are there so many gold, silver and jewelry of unknown origin in your mansion?

You are corrupt, you take human life lightly, and you harm good men...

And you actually dared to hire someone to destroy the porridge stall.

Ruining my reputation and obstructing disaster relief are both capital crimes!"

Wan Qingyan listed Ma Chengguo's crimes one by one.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chengguo was frightened and looked at Li Guoan desperately.

"Master Li, please save me. I am innocent. I have done nothing wrong..."

Before Ma Chengguo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wan Qingyan.

“Master Ma, it’s useless to call you Master Li.

Since you say you are innocent, I will ask for witnesses and evidence."

Wan Qingyan waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately took the two women away.

And three big boxes of gold, silver and treasures came forward.

“Master Ma, do these two women look familiar?

It can be said that they were instructed by you to deliberately cut corners and destroy the soup kitchen.

These three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were personally confiscated from your mansion.

Your husband can testify to this, and he can even provide more evidence of your guilt!

"Master Ma, now that things have come to this, what else do you have to argue about?"

Wan Qingyan spoke in a leisurely manner, and every word was heart-wrenching.

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, chilling.

Ma Chengguo's forehead was covered with sweat and he looked at Li Guoan.
