"no!"
Chaoge rejected it outright without changing his expression.
"Oh, it's not you. The one who fought with the cook of Penglai Restaurant at the city gate should be you?"
"no!"
Chaoge still rejected it outright. She still remembered the bailiff in front of her. He was the bailiff who wanted to arrest her at the inn when she sent little Luobuding back last time.
"Huh? You're still trying to make excuses. People have already reported you to the county magistrate, and we've been ordered to come and arrest you.
Do you want to follow us or let us arrest you?"
"Yeah?
Let's go, lead the way."
It was the first time that Yun Chaoyu saw the bailiffs coming to arrest someone, and the person they arrested was themselves. His usual hot temper and courage were instantly frightened away.
After all, apart from her young age, she is just an ordinary country girl.
Normally, ordinary people are most afraid of seeing officials, and this time the trouble they are in seems to be quite serious.
Under the force of the yamen runners, they were taken to the county government office, and even Yun Chaoyi, whose fever subsided only at midnight, was taken there as well.
When Chaoge and his men were brought to the county government office, they discovered that Chef Dong was already there, and was being carried in by someone. He was lying in the middle of the county government hall, groaning in pain and misery.
After waiting for a long time, the county magistrate finally arrived, but when he looked at Chaoge standing in front of him, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Girl, why is it you!?"
Chen Tang'an was obviously surprised and shocked, but as soon as he said this, the groaning of Chef Dong lying on the ground paused noticeably, and then less than two seconds later, he screamed even louder!
He did this as if he was afraid that Chen Tang'an, who was sitting high up in the hall, couldn't hear him.
Chaoge didn't say anything, but just smiled slightly at Chen Tang'an on the high platform.
"Sir, please help this lady-in-law!
Look, the lady's husband is just a cook in a restaurant, but he was beaten and crippled by this group of people.
These people ignore the law and defy justice. Your Excellency must severely punish these evil bandits!"
A woman's voice suddenly sounded in the yamen. The woman knelt down in front of Chen Tang'an on the high platform and cried about the miserable plight of Chef Dong.
Looking at the people below, Chen Tangan frowned!
This person turned out to be his wife’s distant cousin and cousin-in-law!
No wonder, no wonder his group of yamen runners were so efficient today that they caught someone in the middle of the night.
With a "bang", the gavel rang and Chen Tang'an straightened his expression!
"Don't make loud noises in the hall. Who is beating the drum to complain about this case? Go through the procedures first, and take him out and give him twenty lashes of the cane!"
The woman kneeling on the ground, when she heard Chen Tang'an's words, her miserable expression suddenly changed, and her face was full of disbelief!
"S-Sir..."
It was she who was beating the drum in the middle of the night, but she never thought that her cousin-in-law would hit her!
how so?
Didn’t her cousin tell her to just come?
"What are you still standing there for?
Have you forgotten the rules? "
Seeing that the yamen runners below were all filled with surprise, Chen Tangan raised his voice again and shouted loudly!
Hearing Chen Tang'an's anger, these shocked yamen runners dared not delay and hurried forward, dragging the woman out!
At the same time, Fatty Dong's crying also stopped. Maybe he didn't expect that their cousin's husband would attack his wife?
After a while, the woman's screams were heard outside, and Chaoge frowned.
Chaoge was in no mood to listen to the screams of the woman outside. Instead, he was thinking about what chances he would have of winning the case if the matter was judged through notarization.
Her fourth uncle will be eliminated next year. If they lose, I wonder if it will affect Yunxuan's imperial examination...
Finally, the twenty lashes of the board were handed out, and only the parties involved knew whether there was any leniency or not.
But anyway, the woman outside was screaming in an extremely miserable voice, and every time she screamed, Yunchang and his companions couldn't help but tremble a little!
They had never dreamed in their entire lives that they would be arrested by bailiffs and brought to the county government office for interrogation in court. In such a place, not to mention that the county magistrate had not even started interrogating them, they were already so scared that their hearts were about to jump out of their chests.
"Please, sir, make the decision for me."
Just as Chaoge was lost in thought, the weak Yun Chaoyi knelt down with a plop, kowtowed to Chen Tangan on the podium, and spoke with a look of grievance in his eyes.
"What grievances have you suffered? Tell me the truth. I will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let a bad person go."
"No, it's the lady who is wronged!"
"Shut up and speak one by one!"
The woman who had just been brought in saw Yun Chaoyi was about to speak, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
Unexpectedly, Chen Tang'an turned her down with a serious look on his face.
Yun Chaoyi swallowed, bit his lip, and undressed.
However, when this thin body was revealed, Chaoge was surprised, Yun Chang's eyes turned red, and Yun Chaoyu covered her mouth directly, not daring to cry out on the spot!
The same thing happened to Chen Tangan on the high platform. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise!
“Reporting to the Lord, all the injuries on my body were caused by the arrival of Chef Dong eight days ago.
I was originally an apprentice in the kitchen of Penglai Restaurant, but my nightmare began with the arrival of Chef Dong.
Not only the villain, but also the other two apprentices in the kitchen.
We were beaten by Chef Dong every day. He would either hit us on the head with a piece of firewood or a pair of red-hot tongs, or he would slap us in the face or hit us with a spoon.
Today, my family came to the restaurant to visit me, and happened to see Chef Dong pouring a pot of freshly heated oil on me.
My elder sister saw it with her own eyes and was so furious that she fought with Chef Dong to protect me.
Unexpectedly, after we left the restaurant, Chef Dong was not convinced and brought more than a dozen people to hunt us down, saying that we should all die.
He also said that he has someone backing him and will not let us go.
Fortunately, two heroes in black and masks appeared and helped me. They also punished the evildoers like Chef Dong, so I and my family were saved."
pretty!
Listening to Yun Chaoyi's story, Chaoge's worries were put to rest.
Everything he stated was indeed true, and there were witnesses present. Moreover, every word he said avoided their responsibility and exposed all of Chef Dong's crimes to the public.
These words, spoken by Yun Chaoyi, the person involved, were even more convincing than hers.
But, this kid is covered in wounds...
Should she let An Yi and the others kill Fatty Dong directly to make herself feel better?
"Oh! You are slandering me!"
