"My Lord, please help me. My name is Chen, and I'm a hunter from Daqing Village, making a living by hunting. Yesterday, I went hunting in the mountains and was lucky enough to catch a roe deer. But Lin Daqiang, tempted by the wealth, tried to steal my roe deer. He tripped over a vine, fell on a branch, and the branch pierced his shoulder blade.

Besides me, there was also a woman from the same village. Shen Wanning saw her and she can testify on my behalf. But Lin Daqiang is so cunning that he actually said I shot him with an arrow. "Sir, please, sir, help me and clear my name." With that, Hunter Chen knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Magistrate He.

County Magistrate He turned his gaze to Shen Wanning and was startled. He rarely saw such a beautiful woman, and it wasn't that he had any other thoughts in mind, he was just a little surprised.

She was born in the countryside and wore coarse linen clothes, but this did not hide her elegance. She was not like the ordinary country girls, with rough fingers and yellow or black complexion.

Shen Wanning stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I can testify that it was indeed Lin Daqiang who tried to steal the roe deer from Hunter Chen but failed, and he tripped and hit his head against a branch."

"No, they are in the same group and are lying with open eyes." Mrs. Hu argued hurriedly.

County Magistrate He slammed the gavel and said, "How dare you! I haven't asked you any questions yet, so don't say anything." After saying that, he looked at Lin Daqiang and said, "Lin Daqiang, do you have anything to say?"

Lin Daqiang knelt on the ground and squinted his eyes at Shen Wanning. His eyes were like a venomous snake, vicious and cruel.

"Your Excellency, I... originally followed Shen Wanning into the deep forest, intending to... do something indecent to her. Unfortunately, I was discovered by Hunter Chen right after I finished, and was shot by him. I beg Your Excellency to intervene on my behalf."

Lin Daqiang was somewhat afraid when facing the county magistrate. However, in order to drag Shen Wanning into the water, he suppressed his fear and stammered.

But he added the fact that he had had a relationship with Shen Wanning, and this time he was determined to drag Shen Wanning into the water.

Chen Liehu and Shen Wanning both looked up at Lin Daqiang at the same time. They didn't expect him to be so shameless.

"Sir, Lin Daqiang's confession has been changing all the time, and his words are not credible. Yesterday, he first said that he wanted to sell me to a fool as his wife, and later said that he wanted to rape me. Now he says that he has already raped me. He is so determined to ruin my reputation, and he deserves to be killed." Shen Wanning took a step forward and said firmly.

"Okay, both of you think you are right, and I can't draw a conclusion. Do you both have evidence?" County Magistrate He asked again.

Hunter Chen stepped forward. "The doctor who treated Lin Daqiang yesterday can testify that the wound on Lin Daqiang's shoulder was caused by a stick, not an arrow. Furthermore, the villagers can all testify that Lin Daqiang's confession has changed several times, so it doesn't count."

"Are you the head of Daqing Village? What do you want to say?" County Magistrate He then looked at the head of the village beside him.

The village head was shaking with nervousness, trying to calm himself down. "I, I, can testify that what Shen Wanning and Chen the Hunter said is true. Lin Daqiang's words are pure slander."

County Magistrate He nodded and slammed the gavel again, "Come here, call the other witnesses to the court."

The Lin family and other villagers entered the court together. Even the doctor was called over and was waiting outside.

"Greetings, Master." The villagers all knelt on the ground and bowed their heads in greeting.

"Everyone, stand up. I summoned you here to ask you about Lin Daqiang. Every word you say will be presented as evidence in court. Please think carefully before speaking." County Magistrate He said with a stern face.

"Sir, I am willing to testify. Yesterday, Lin Daqiang initially said that he had received a deposit from the town's master and wanted to sell Wan Ning to him as his daughter-in-law. Later, he said that he became attracted to Wan Ning because of her beauty, but was stopped by an arrow from the hunter Chen. Today, he changed his testimony again and even dared to talk nonsense and tarnish Wan Ning's reputation. Please investigate thoroughly!" Granny Qin was the first to come forward to testify.

"Sir, I am also willing to testify. When Wan Ning's family was building the house, Lin Daqiang was fired by Wan Ning because he was lazy. So he holds a grudge against Wan Ning and deliberately ruins her reputation!" Aunt Niu said from behind.

"Sir, Lin Daqiang has been stealing and doing all kinds of bad things since he was a child. He is a notorious scoundrel in our Daqing Village. You can't trust what he says." Mrs. Xu continued.

"Sir, I am willing to testify..."

One after another, they were willing to testify for Shen Wanning, and no one sided with Lin Daqiang. Hu's wife, heartbroken, collapsed on the ground. She had originally been reluctant to let the county magistrate resolve the matter, but Shen Wanning had forced her into a lawsuit, leaving her no choice but to take it to court.

Finally, the doctor stepped forward and said, "Everyone saw the wooden stick stuck in Lin Daqiang's shoulder yesterday. The wound on his shoulder was undoubtedly caused by the stick."

"It was that vicious woman who stabbed the wooden stick into my body. I didn't bump into anything myself." Lin Daqiang pointed at Shen Wanning hatefully.

"Sir, my daughter has always been timid and would never do such a thing. Besides, as a woman, how could she have so much strength to do such a thing?" Aunt Zhang followed.

Shen Wanning didn't argue. She bowed her head and said, "Please investigate thoroughly and clear my name."

"Lin Daqiang, now that we have witnesses, what else do you have to say?" County Magistrate He gently slammed the gavel and looked at Lin Daqiang.

"Wait a minute, I have another witness, that's Mr. Fang from the town. My wife, Hu, accepted a deposit of one or two taels of silver from Mr. Fang, and promised to find a woman for Mr. Fang's young master to marry. After that, Mr. Fang will give him another ten taels of silver. Mr. Fang will know about this as soon as it's spread." Lin Daqiang clenched his fists and tried to argue.

"Bah, County Master, his wife, Mrs. Hu, is greedy and black-hearted, and everyone in our Daqing Village knows it. She often accepts dirty money and arranges messy marriages. A few years ago, Mrs. Hu accepted money from Mr. Liu, a man in his sixties in town, and married Fengfeng from the village to him. As a result, Fengfeng died of complications during childbirth when she was in her teens. A few days ago, she even wanted to marry my daughter Wan Ning to Mr. Liu as a concubine, but I scolded her back." Aunt Zhang said indignantly.

"Yes, sir, we can all testify that what Aunt Zhang said is true." The villagers echoed Aunt Zhang's words.

"Lin Daqiang, even if your wife accepted money from Master Fang, it doesn't prove that you were injured by Hunter Chen's arrow. I have already made a ruling on this matter."

County Magistrate He glanced at the legal advisor beside him and gestured for him to write the rest. "Lin Daqiang, you have slandered a woman from the Qingbai family and disturbed the court. I sentence you to twenty strokes of the cane. Expel you!"

"My lord, everything I said is true! It must be the witch Shen Wanning who bewitched Chen the Hunter, so he helped Shen Wanning. My lord, please investigate!" Lin Daqiang was still howling loudly when he was dragged away.
