"Miss Han Chan, Han Tao, the county magistrate summoned you to court not to investigate your case, but to clarify the facts!" Zuo Li said coldly. "After a thorough investigation, the county magistrate has found that you siblings were not lying. All the villagers of Xia Gui Village bullied you and caused the death of your mother. Furthermore, your uncle's family is even more heartless and is the instigator of your tragic fate! Therefore, based on the witness testimonies and physical evidence, the county magistrate will first imprison them! Because besides you, there are other innocent women in Xia Gui Village who have also been bullied! With multiple crimes combined, they will not escape the death penalty!"

Han Chan and Han Tao never expected that the county magistrate would investigate the matter so quickly and reach a verdict, nor did they expect that there were others in their village living in the same miserable state as them!

Therefore, the magistrate allowed them to quietly watch the trial from the sidelines. The case would be closed together, and all the crimes would be punished. The people of Xiagui Village and their uncles would be punished according to the laws of Qingluan Kingdom.

Han Chan was overjoyed, so she devoted herself entirely to the trial. Han Tao watched the magistrate preside over the case without blinking, seeing those who had beaten and cursed them, and who had killed their mother, kneeling and kowtowing, weeping and confessing to their heinous acts!

"Mother, if you are watching from heaven, can you see? These people have finally received their severe punishment. They will go to hell! They will definitely go to hell!"

"Mother, after they've all gone to hell, you and Father can settle your scores and grievances, making them wish they could die a thousand times over! Also, call upon all the ancestors of our Han family, and let the Han family members work together to give them a good beating! So that they'll never dare to have any evil thoughts in their next life!"

"Mother, I've heard that there are eighteen levels of hell, and each level is extremely terrifying. So people who have done wrong things will go to hell to be punished. After they go to hell, you must sue the King of Hell and make them experience all the punishments of each level of hell!"

"Otherwise, I can't quell the hatred in my heart! I'll feel even more sorry for the humiliation you suffered at the hands of all of them in your previous life! And for the painful fate of my siblings and me! Father, you are the pillar of our family. If you haven't been reincarnated, then you must help Mother, you must help Mother get justice in hell! You must send all these vicious bastards to hell!!"

Han Tao's fierce gaze made the county magistrate shake his head helplessly. At the same time, he also understood that if the people of Xiagui Village hadn't treated him and his sister as human beings and even killed their mother, he wouldn't have shown such a look.

If the people of Xiagui Village treat the siblings well and kindly, they will surely live a happy life, just like children from ordinary families.

Han Chan must have gotten married, and maybe even had a child.

Han Tao will surely grow up healthy, and perhaps he will acquire a skill or even go to school.

Their mothers must have stayed home farming and raising pigs, taking excellent care of the household.

Unfortunately, fate was extremely unkind to their family.

It's also his fault for not paying attention to Xia Gui Village before, for not rectifying the situation in time, which led to this incident. Therefore, after this matter is resolved, he will apologize to the siblings and make sure their deceased mother and father leave that filthy place of Xia Gui Village and start anew.

Outside the courtroom, Ronghua watched as the magistrate grew increasingly stern and intimidated all the villagers of Xiagui Village, forcing them to confess their wrongdoings. Ronghua was overjoyed.

At the same time, they were also very fortunate that Han Chan and her brother met him. He encouraged them to report the incident to the authorities, otherwise they might have already died. And other people who suffered the same bullying from the villagers of Xiagui Village as they did might have followed in their footsteps.

Thankfully, heaven took pity on us!!

Two hours later, the trial of the case in Xiagui Village was finally over.

The magistrate coldly looked at all the people of Xia Gui Village and said in a cold voice: "Because all the villagers of Xia Gui Village are vicious in heart and cruel in conduct, and are lazy and gluttonous, they have squandered all the land and grain of Xia Gui Village. In addition to their fellow villagers, according to the severity of their crimes, I hereby pronounce the following judgment:

Han Chan and her brother, your uncle's family—Han Qinglin's crimes are the most serious. His wife, Wang, knew about these crimes but failed to report them, even helping Han Qinglin bully Han Chan and her brother. Before their mother's death, she spread rumors in the village, severely harming the Han family. Later, she even tried to sell Han Chan and her brother into a brothel and to slave boys. She also bullied other villagers, and even more seriously, caused someone's death, including Han Chan and her brother's mother. Therefore, according to the laws of the Qingluan Kingdom, Han Qinglin and Wang are sentenced to immediate execution!

The village head of Xiagui Village has been utterly incompetent, allowing the villagers and the Han Qinglin family to commit evil deeds. He has never guided the people to do good or refrain from wicked acts, and has instead oppressed his fellow villagers! Furthermore, he has ignored several edicts issued by this official, making Xiagui Village the most backward and morally bankrupt village in Wenhong County. Because of your inaction, and even your encouragement of the villagers to be lazy and unwilling to work, many villagers have starved and frozen to death. Therefore, your actions are even more unacceptable. According to the laws of Qingluan Kingdom, you are sentenced to immediate execution! At the same time, all your family's property, grain, land, and houses will be confiscated!

To the rest of you in Xiagui Village: You insulted Han Chan and her brother, caused their mother's death, and are lazy and oppressive to other villagers. Based on the severity of your actions, you will all be exiled, and your descendants will all be exiled! Never to return! Furthermore, all your land, grain, houses, and property will be confiscated!

The other villagers of Xiagui Village were expelled from the village and imprisoned for years, their release contingent on their behavior. However, their land, grain, houses, and property were all confiscated, regardless of age or gender.

This result was confirmed by Prince Yi, and no matter how the case is tried, the outcome cannot be changed!

This is a great gift from Prince Yi to Han Tao! It is hoped that Han Tao will know this and become even more loyal to Prince Yi!!

Han Tao and Han Chan's eyes were red. "Father, Mother, look, they have been punished. They have been sentenced to death. They have lost everything and have been exiled to the frontier! Father, Mother, you can rest in peace now!"

Han Chan and her brother were extremely excited and happy, and even burst into tears in the courtroom.

They've waited so long for justice, and the magistrate has given it to them!

They didn't originally have this opportunity, but thanks to Brother Ronghua and the county magistrate, the siblings were finally able to live normal lives.

That's great! That's great!

Not only were the siblings happy, but the people watching the trial outside the court were also delighted. They had been very interested in the case, and they were not surprised at all by the outcome.
