Since the county magistrate is personally handling the case, they have to cooperate. The villagers of Baihua are very good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages; otherwise, they wouldn't have backed down after being intimidated by Chen Xiaoquan.

Such people are both pitiful and pathetic, and deserve to be enslaved.

There have been more than one or two cases of lawsuits against Chen Xiaoquan.

A complaint requires a written complaint, and Jinbao's mother quietly took out a writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from her parents-in-law's room.

Then he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Honor, please do justice for me! I am the second wife of the Chen family, my maiden name is Jin Saihua."

When the Chen family came to my house to propose marriage, I was already engaged.

The arranged marriage was with Chen Jinwang from Baihua Village, but the Chen family found out about it.

To force me to break off the engagement, they beat Jin Wang in front of me, and in the end, that beast Chen Lao Er broke Jin Wang's leg.

I was forced to marry that bastard Chen Lao Er for the sake of Jin Wang Ge's life.

After marriage, Chen Lao Er, that good-for-nothing, turned out to be a congenital eunuch.

Not to mention the relentless torment he endured day and night, to avoid being laughed at for being a coward, he actually, actually let that old bastard of a father violate me.

I want to sue the Chen family for abducting men and women and bullying ordinary people.

I want to sue Chen Xiaoquan for stealing his daughter-in-law's husband's affections and for having no moral compass or ethics; I want to sue this family for abusing and murdering a baby girl..."

Jin Saihua went all out today, tearing the Chen family apart layer by layer in front of the whole village.

The person who hated her the most was none other than Chen Lao Er, who had been cuckolded by his own father.

Bai Lun felt great sympathy for Jin Saihua's plight. Considering her situation, he asked,

“Mrs. Jin, do you know that by exposing your family’s shameful secrets today, you will never be able to stand in Baihua Village again?”

Have you thought about how you plan to live in the future? I can make that decision for you.

Jin Saihua knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you, Your Honor. Saihua has no other wish than to ask that the Chen family receive the punishment they deserve and to divorce Chen Lao Er."

I only ask that I have absolutely no connection with the Chen family in this lifetime.

The magistrate of Bailun County personally wrote the divorce agreement, and Chen Lao Er was forced to affix his fingerprint by the bailiffs.

Chen Xiaoquan, his four sons, and Chen Jinbao were all chained up and taken to the county jail.

While escorting the Chen family, they also took Jin Saihua along, and sent her back to her parents' home on the way.

To avoid being bullied by this family.

Chen Xiaoquan's wife cried out in despair. Overnight, her husband and son had all been taken away, including her most beloved grandson, who turned out to be the son of her dead husband.

This is simply intolerable.

Looking at the three daughters-in-law left in the family, each one seems to have stolen her father-in-law's.

She had a lot of anger simmering in her chest, and she wanted to take it out on her daughters-in-law. Without her father-in-law, husband, what was a mother-in-law anyway?

One by one, they packed up their valuables, took their daughters, and went back to their parents' homes.

Old Mrs. Chen cried as if her own parents had died when she saw her daughters-in-law leaving home one by one.

That wasn't all. An hour later, a group of constables surrounded Chen Xiao's entire family.

"What are you doing? You can't come in! You've already taken my husband and son away. You're not letting people live!"

Granny Chen screamed at the top of her lungs, hoping to stop the yamen runners from ransacking her house.

Two constables, one on each side, grabbed Granny Chen and threw her out the door. They headed straight for Chen Xiaoquan's bedroom and pulled out the account books from under the bed.

They dug out a box from a hole under the bed, which contained the money Chen Xiaoquan had embezzled and accepted as bribes over the years.

The constables were professionals at searching homes; they knocked and dug up several hiding places for money from the walls and base of the walls.

They also searched the rooms of the four Chen brothers, finding between tens and hundreds of taels of silver in each room.

Presumably, this money was hidden by the Chen brothers.

After all, the wives have all left, and they will surely take their private savings with them.

"Men, lock up both the advisor and Hu Enke, the head of Chunfeng Town."

The family's finances were frozen; they wouldn't let a single person escape.

This was the first order that Bailun issued upon returning to the county office.

Just thinking about that old man with his orange peel-like face, yet daring to use his position to threaten a young girl in her late twenties, makes me feel disgusted.

This is truly a case of bad people getting old.

When the advisor, Hu Enke, and Chen Xiaoquan's family all knelt in the main hall, they began to hurl insults and accuse each other.

Bailun remained silent, waiting to see how many flaws they would reveal, and the more they exposed, the more secrets they found.

"Master, Hu Enke, Chen Xiaoquan, and their four sons all have murders on their hands. Alright, execute them immediately."

The Chen family was wiped out, leaving only Chen Jinbao, the product of incest. He was sentenced to five years in prison for his failed attack on the county magistrate.

Whether he will live to see his release is anyone's guess.

After dealing with Chunfeng Town, Bailun carried out a major reshuffle and eliminated several corrupt officials, finally bringing peace to Fengrao County.

“New South Wales, I was narrow-minded before.”

I thought what I saw was the truth, and that no one would dare to lie to me.

It turns out I'm the biggest fool in the world.

Do you think the advisors might be flattering me every day while secretly calling me a fool?

Deng Xinzhou couldn't answer Bai Lun's question.

Can I say you're just an idiot, you're just asking for a beating?

"My lord, no one is perfect. I believe that after this incident, you will be more careful in judging people and things."

"Your most valuable quality is your ability to reflect on your own shortcomings and face them head-on. I believe you will become a pillar of our Divine Dragon Kingdom in the future."

When Deng Xinzhou returned to the prefectural city and reported to Lord Duan, he covered every detail and finally gave the most objective evaluation of Bailun.

After reviewing the case files, Lord Duan felt that this Bailun was a capable person.

The day of the results announcement finally arrived, and unsurprisingly, Zhao Qianci won first place in the provincial examination, becoming a legitimate scholar.

Zhao Yonggeng, Zhao Minggeng, Zhao Qingshan, and Zhao Qingyang ranked 5th, 7th, 12th, and 15th respectively in this college entrance examination.

I thought it was already a remarkable achievement that Zhao Qianci alone passed the county-level examination, but it turns out that even little Zhao Qingyang passed it.

This is simply an incredible thing.

All seven family members were watching little Zhao Qingyang at the same time, making the little guy quite uneasy.

"What do you mean by this? Does being young mean you can't pass the imperial examination to become a scholar?"

Don't look at me like that, I'm not used to it, and I don't have any flowers on my face.

If you really have to ask, then I guess I've come out on top, since you guys are always discussing earthquake relief and disaster recovery.

My sister, in particular, listed so many examples that even if you just copied them, you should be able to understand them by now, right?

I am so lucky. In order to keep this title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), I must study even harder.

Otherwise, failing the annual exam would be incredibly embarrassing.
