Chapter 246 Biting Each Other
This county magistrate relied on his official power to act like a rogue in public. Others really couldn't do anything to him, but they could return the favor to him. So what?
Does he have the ability to perform another act of contradicting himself in public?
Magistrate Yin's forehead was covered with sweat and his heart was pounding.
Out of control! Out of control! He, this county magistrate has become a true joke.
These daring and arrogant people!
If we were in another place, this wouldn't happen! Damn it!
Zaihu Village was sneering, "Sir, won't you stand up for us? Since when did a few criminals and lowly people become so arrogant? Is there someone backing them up? Then Sir, you must investigate thoroughly! Since Sir won't stand up for us, we'll have to vent our anger in our own way later!"
"good!"
"I will never let them off!"
Lu Daming was horrified to find that Lu Xiaoming had been captured and unable to move, with something stuffed in his mouth. It looked like he was going to be dragged away and beaten to death.
So, what about him?
If he leaves this court today, his fate will definitely not be much better than that of his brother.
These lunatics, these lunatics.
He saw that the Zhao family got along very well with the people in this village, and that they were very easy-going towards the Zhao family, so he subconsciously thought that they were easy to talk to and had no temper.
Totally wrong!
These bandit-like people have never changed! Their tempers are never easy to mess with!
Lu Daming was extremely panicked and shouted loudly in fear: "It's none of my business! It's none of our brothers' business! It was Luo Guangqi who asked us to help report the case! It's him! You should look for him, it has nothing to do with our brothers! It has nothing to do with us!"
Luo Guangqi widened his eyes in disbelief, not caring about his fear for a moment, he was completely dumbfounded!
How come, how come everything turned out to be his fault in the end!
He was inexplicably beaten up by the Lu brothers, then scolded by the Zhao family, threatened by vicious men, and now he was being framed by the Lu brothers?
What had he done wrong to deserve this consequence?
He obviously didn't do anything at all!
Luo Guangqi felt that this world was simply too absurd! It was more absurd than ever before!
He couldn't even imagine how all this happened!
"Nonsense! No, it wasn't me! It was you who came to me this morning and told me to say that Zhao Xiang had beaten me! You told me to say that! How could you, how could you blame me!"
Lu Daming regretted what he said after he shouted it out in horror. Unfortunately, when he wanted to regret it again, Han San took advantage of the chaos and kicked him away again.
By the time the pain subsided and he wanted to speak, Boss Luo had already spoken and told him everything.
Even a clay figure still has some earthiness. How could Boss Luo bear being tossed around so nonchalantly?
He knew that everyone actually looked down on him, but that didn't mean he could allow others to bully him however they wanted and not treat him as a human being at all.
"Sir, did you hear that? It's all their conspiracy!"
The crowd started to make a noise, angry and disgusted.
"I--"
Lu Daming met Han San's cold eyes and was scared back to what he was about to say.
These bandits, these bandits.
Magistrate Yin's face flushed and paled, and he slammed the gavel with a bang, shouting, "Luo Guangqi, I'm asking you a question now, and you must tell me the truth! What the hell is going on?"
Luo Guangqi was also scared, but he didn't dare to regret it.
Besides, now that it has come to this, can we just let him do what he wants?
If you regret today, you will be taught a lesson tomorrow.
Could he still hide in the Mao family for a long time with his family? Qi alone couldn't go there. His daughter was just a concubine, not the main wife.
It would be strange if Mao Dexing would keep them alive since his family is guilty.
So, there is no way to regret it no matter what.
If he can't harm the Zhao family, it means he is incompetent, and Mao Dexing won't do anything to him. If he offends the Zhao family, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"They ordered me to do this."
"I'll give you one last chance! Speak!"
"Yes, they ordered it."
"Sir, the matter is very clear. Please administer justice!"
"Exactly, that's right! How could Mr. Zhao be that kind of person? What a joke!"
"Of course!"
Magistrate Yin was extremely angry, feeling that this slap in the face came too quickly.
"Alright, alright, you dare to tease me! Come, take Luo Guangqi and the Lu brothers to jail!"
Someone immediately pushed Lu Xiaoming forward and said, "Sir, this guy still wants to escape. Bah, how shameless!"
Lu Xiaoming had been beaten up and was in a terrible state, but he dared not say a word.
Like County Magistrate Yin, he was angry but dared not speak out.
Seeing these useless things makes me feel upset. I have to take them away immediately! Don't you want to pay the price for going back on your word and teasing him?
Mao Dexing was also extremely angry. He gritted his teeth and cursed behind the partition: "A bunch of useless people! What kind of troublemakers are they! They are all troublemakers!"
Magistrate Yin didn't want to stay any longer and hurriedly left the court.
The villagers cheered and shouted "Your Excellency is wise!", "Thank you for your justice!", "Your Excellency, the Honourable Judge!", etc., and surrounded Zhao Xiang and left quickly.
County Magistrate Yin became even more upset after hearing this!
He doesn't want to hear this nonsense!
Zhao Xiang and others went back happily.
Uncle Hu was very happy. He thanked everyone with a smile and said that he would treat everyone to a good meal in a couple of days. Please be sure to come.
The Zhao family would definitely be generous when entertaining guests, and there would definitely be plenty of meat. Everyone was even happier, and they all smiled and expressed their gratitude.
Mr. Zhao is everyone's Mr. Zhao, teaching everyone's children. Who doesn't respect him? No one can wrongly accuse him!
In the back hall of the county government office, County Magistrate Yin had a dark face, and Mao Dexing was embarrassed and kept cursing the Zhao family.
"So cunning! They must have colluded with those troublemakers, brother-in-law. Those troublemakers are so abominable. If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is! Brother-in-law, why don't we just send out the garrison troops and say that the troublemakers are rebelling? We have to kill a few of them to scare the monkeys and let them know how powerful we are!"
"Shut up right now!" County Magistrate Yin said coldly, "If it weren't for you, how could so much trouble have happened? You still think it's not enough, what do you want? Can the garrison be mobilized just by my word? We need the prefect's approval! Rebellion? Do you think rebellion is so easy to say? What an idiot!"
This can be regarded as a verbal threat, but it is not so easy to convict and mobilize the army.
Each village has a population of tens of thousands. Can such a crime be easily convicted? With so many people involved, can the authorities conceal the truth once they investigate?
Besides, if someone under his rule rebelled, wouldn't he be punished as well? Wouldn't that mean he was incompetent?
"Just shut up and stop talking nonsense outside!"
