“Your Excellency may not know that if I had not met a noble person some time ago who helped me to break the evil spell, I would have been dead by now. How could I still be standing in this hall to seek justice for myself?” After saying this, Uncle Xu was very excited and his eyes became red.

"The student feels that Zheng Xin and his father are guilty of murder for harming me like this!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Xin fell to the ground.

Magistrate Luo slammed the gavel again and asked him to kneel down, then asked, "Zheng Xin, do you have any objections?"

Zheng Xin could only bow his head and plead guilty. What else could he say?

Firstly, this story was true from beginning to end, and secondly, it was his father Zheng Yangping who said it himself, so he had no way to defend himself.

Seeing that no one in the hall spoke, Magistrate Luo signaled the county magistrate to announce the crimes of this family.

Sun Gui was sentenced to 100 strokes of the cane and executed on a later date. Zheng Yangping and Zheng Xin were sentenced to 50 strokes of the cane and sentenced to forced labor of 3,000 miles.

Zheng Yangping's wife, Sun, became a government slave. Zheng Yangping's eldest son, Zheng Miao, knew about it but did not report it. He was beaten with thirty sticks and imprisoned for three months.

Zheng Yangping had just regained consciousness when he heard the result and vomited blood on the spot.

On the way back, everyone was very silent. We were all from the same village and had never expected that one day we would end up in court.

But no one felt sorry for the Zheng family, because good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil.

"Lingze, it was you just now..."

Although Xu Mingyan didn't finish his words, Gu Lingze understood what he meant.

He nodded and said, "Evil people always have a thousand excuses to excuse themselves. I just let him tell the truth himself."

So he took advantage of the time when everyone's attention was on the court and slapped Zheng Yangping with a Mantra, but the Mantra only works on people with weak minds.

After returning, everyone had a simple meal, and Gu Lingze returned to the thatched cottage.

A lowest-level fire talisman was pasted on the wall, and the thatched hut didn't feel cold at all.

But I can’t live here for long, Gu Lingze thought.

He took out five pieces of talisman paper slowly, and Gu Lingze pointed and the talisman paper was ignited.

"The mountain dragon Lianzhen has a direction, the water dragon Jumen sees water, go!" The ashes of the five talisman papers fell to the ground and turned into five tiny figures.

The five figures ran into a house with a large gate. After a while, they worked together to carry out a small box, and then returned to the thatched hut they had been in before.

Gu Lingze touched the box with a meaningful smile on his face.

Early the next morning after breakfast, Gu Lingze pretended to borrow a ox cart and went to the county town.

In fact, he parked the ox cart behind the thatched hut because he didn't want to suffer.

I pasted the Qingfeng Talisman when I left the village, and soon arrived at the county town.

All places for buying and selling living things are in one place. Whether you are buying poultry and livestock, or servants, you go to the market at the east end of the county.

Gu Lingze first used eighty taels of silver to buy two cows, and then paid another ten taels of silver to purchase a simple ox cart.

It would be difficult to have no ox cart at home. He could use the Qingfeng Talisman. Others always had to borrow one when they went out, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth. It would be better to just buy two, which could also be used for plowing the land.

Then he went to the place where people were bought, observed for a while, and finally found a target that suited his taste.

Gu Lingze brought his men and drove the ox cart back to the village. He first took the box out of the thatched hut, and then returned the borrowed ox cart.

Then he immediately took the people on the ox cart and headed straight for the destination.

After arriving, Gu Lingze got out of the car and knocked on the door.

"Who is it? Why are you knocking?" An impatient voice came from inside the door.

After the man opened the door, he saw Gu Lingze standing at the door and slammed the door shut.

Gu Lingze's thin lips slowly opened into a teasing arc, and he said to the person inside the door in a leisurely manner: "I advise you to be sensible and open the door quickly, otherwise we will also go to the county government office."

The door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with a wooden stick came out. He pointed at Gu Lingze and started to curse: "I think you, a fool, want to be beaten again! Hurry up and give it to me..."

Gu Lingze raised the box in his hand, and the man's throat seemed to be suddenly strangled, and he didn't even finish his words.

Seeing this, the trafficker behind him shouted, "Why don't you tell the people inside to come out quickly? I've been in this business for so long, and I've never seen a slave as arrogant as you."

In fact, people in his line of work have seen all kinds of strange and absurd things, but this time it's a big order, so of course he says whatever the client wants to hear.

The middle-aged man threw away the stick and ran inside. Soon, everyone in the village came out.

They still looked fearless, but Gu Lingze knew they were just outwardly aggressive but weak on the inside, so he was not in a hurry.

"What are you going to do? Let me tell you! A fool like you can't make the decision here!" Gu Lingze was not in a hurry, but someone else was.

Gu Lingze sneered at first, then looked at these people who didn't know what they were about to suffer, and said, "You guys are probably used to bullying others in this farm."

"You all forgot that you are just my family's dogs."

After saying this, he glanced at these people with sarcasm, and it was like a gust of cold wind blowing past, making everyone feel chilled.

"Before coming from the capital, the mistress transferred your indentures to my name, fearing that you slaves would become fearless. I didn't expect that you would become so wild."

In fact, when Gu Lingze's concubine ran away, the housekeeper of the farm found the indenture in the room.

I wasn't surprised to see it was written under Gu Lingze's name. After all, Gu Lingze was also a bastard with the master's blood flowing in his veins, making him half a master.

What is a concubine? She is nothing more than a servant serving in bed, just in a different place.

The housekeeper originally wanted to tear up the indenture without any hesitation, but he was afraid that if Gu Lingze's concubine came back one day, she would find out something was wrong. If the master of the house found out, they would be in big trouble.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was just right to write it under the name of a fool. How could a fool really do such a big thing?

Now that the contract has fallen into Gu Lingze's hands, everyone has a strong ominous premonition.

"What do you want to do?" The middle-aged man who opened the door just now was still pretending to be calm.

Gu Lingze sneered, "What do I want to do? I am your master, and you are slaves who have signed a death contract. I can find a reason to beat you to death now..."

Gu Lingze paused slightly when he said this.

He opened his thin lips slightly and said coldly: "Besides, don't you know what you did?"

The human trafficker's surname was Li. When Gu Lingze was selecting people in the market, he specifically looked at their faces.

This man named Li has droopy eyes, protruding eyebrows, fierce eyes, thin cheeks, and a deep philtrum, which gives him the appearance of a fierce and vicious person.

"Mr. Gu, in my opinion, it would be better to sell all these slaves. I have a place to put them." Li Renya came forward with a beaming look on his face.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Gu Lingze pretended to be very interested.

"These people should be sold to the quarry and have a good fight!" When the people in the village heard what Li Renya said, their faces turned purple.
