Chapter 107 Break His Paws
Before the bailiffs could make any move, Lin Xu, Wuming, Leng Yue and He Xiang had surrounded Qi Yue and protected him.
She crossed her chest and glared at the county magistrate at the top, her eyes flashing with coldness, "Beat him, no need to show mercy, if he dies, it will be my fault."
After he finished speaking, Lin Xu kicked the desk in the hall. The county magistrate was so frightened that he could not dodge in time and his foot was crushed by the collapsed desk.
"ah--"
The screams echoed in the yamen.
The legal advisor standing by was also trembling. He wanted to hide but was afraid of being held accountable by the county magistrate later, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lift the heavy desk.
The desk was slightly raised, and the county magistrate shouted at the yamen runners, "Quickly arrest these traitors for me!"
A cold light flashed in Wuming's eyes. He grabbed the killing stick in the hand of the nearest yamen runner and pulled it hard.
The killing stick slipped out of the yamen runner's hand. In his shock, the runner was hit in the chest by the original end of the killing stick and fell heavily to the ground.
Then he swept across with a stick, and all the yamen runners who rushed forward were knocked to the ground, and even the two armchairs were not spared.
If Xie Wenshu and his sister had not dodged in time, their legs would have been broken like the armchair.
Xie Wenshu was suddenly terrified and regretted his decision to death.
Xie Wanyi was also shaking like a sieve and was frightened to the point of peeing.
They never expected that Qi Yue and others could be so bold as to disrespect the court and dare to openly beat the imperial officials.
Lin Xu stepped on the overturned desk and pressed down the county magistrate's foot again, which had not yet been pulled away.
With a "crack", the foot was crushed in half.
The county magistrate screamed in agony, his look as miserable as that of a pig about to be slaughtered.
At this point, Xie Wenshu knew that he had completely offended people and could only make the best of a bad situation. If he did not help the county magistrate to take these people down once and for all to prevent future troubles, it would only bring disaster to himself in the future.
He winked at the servant, who tried to go out to get help during the chaos, but was caught by Qi Yue, who had been keeping an eye on the Xie brothers and sisters. She winked at Leng Yue.
The servant had just taken two steps when he was knocked unconscious by a palm strike and thrown at Xie Wenshu's feet.
Qi Yue took He Xiang and walked towards the county magistrate. "I am not an unreasonable person. If the county magistrate can properly handle this matter and let the evildoer get the punishment he deserves, then I will let bygones be bygones."
The county magistrate was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat, and the legal advisor who was supporting him was also shocked and frightened.
Seeing Qi Yue approaching them so arrogantly, the master's eyes rolled, an idea came to his mind, and he narrowed his long and narrow eyes.
Without waiting for him to take any action, He Xiang took out a token from her bosom and rushed to them with her sleeve covering her face.
When the lawyer saw the words on the token clearly, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees from his half-squatting position and twisted the still-wailing county magistrate twice.
"Sir, stop yelling! If you keep yelling, your head will be moved!"
The county magistrate shuddered and looked at the token tremblingly. Then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The master hurriedly pinched his nose and said, "Sir! Sir!"
The county magistrate, who was pretending to be unconscious, had his philtrum swollen from being pinched, and he was so angry that he cursed the lawyer in his heart.
Qi Yue also saw that the man was pretending to be unconscious, and said quietly: "Did the county magistrate faint from the pain? It seems that even if the foot is saved, it will be useless. It is better to just chop it off."
The county magistrate shuddered all over, and opened his eyes with gritted teeth. He met her gaze and was about to shout "Long live the princess" when he was stopped by Lin Xu's fierce look.
Qi Yue asked with concern: "The county magistrate has woken up. Do you need me to call a doctor to treat you and then re-examine you?"
The county magistrate was almost unable to speak clearly: "No, no, no... don't bother Miss, I... I am not seriously... seriously injured."
Then he shouted at the master, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring two armchairs for the young lady and her husband."
Qi Yue corrected: "It's three."
The county magistrate nodded his head rapidly: "Yes, yes, yes... bring three up quickly!"
The Xie siblings felt unbelievable when they saw the scene before them.
Xie Wanyi had no idea what the county magistrate and the grand master had seen that caused them to change their attitudes so drastically.
What are the identities of these people?
He even ignored the prime minister...
Xie Wenshu was already starting to feel uneasy, fearing that the person in front of him was a royal relative, especially the girl with an ordinary look but a great figure, whose status must be the highest among the few people.
He just went so far as to humiliate someone.
It's over, it's all over...
It’s all the fault of that bitch Xie Wanyi!
If she hadn't been so stupid as to provoke someone, he wouldn't have been humiliated and beaten like this.
If he was sent to jail again because of this matter, wouldn't he, the eldest son of the Xie family, lose face?
His grandfather didn't like him in the first place. If this matter got to Kyoto and got to his grandfather's ears, he would never be able to rely on his grandfather to enter the court in his lifetime...
Thinking of this, Xie Wenshu angrily slapped Xie Wanyi in the face, knocking her to the ground.
Xie Wanyi covered her face in disbelief. When she saw his horrified expression, she was frightened into silence.
Xie Wenshu opened his mouth wide, pointed at her and cursed: "You girls from the Yin family, you have never met me before, and you are causing trouble for no reason? You are looking for trouble for no reason, you are arrogant and domineering, and now you are full of lies. You should behave yourself and bring your parents here!"
The color drained from Xie Wanyi's face after being scolded. She bit her lips tightly and dared not say a word.
Qi Yue did not change his opinion of Xie Wenshu because of these words, but looked at Xie Wenshu with disgust.
He did not protect his own sister, and when he saw that the situation was not favorable to him, he pushed someone out to block the knife.
It would be difficult for her to get rid of the anger she felt if she didn't deal with this stupid, disgusting and selfish person.
After the three armchairs were brought up, the yamen runners had also lifted up the desk and put it back in place.
After the county magistrate saw Qi Yue and others sit down, he tremblingly sat back in his seat.
The gavel sounded again, and the bailiffs behind the Xie brothers and sisters rushed up and forced Xie Wenshu to his knees. Xie Wanyi had been kneeling on the ground, with wounds and the stench of having peed herself just now.
The bailiff did not dare to touch her, so she lowered her head and knelt again in silence.
The county magistrate said: "Xie brothers and sisters, you two are stirring up trouble in the street and gathering a crowd to cause disturbances. You know your crime!"
Xie Wenshu: "You are too old, it's unfair..."
Xie Wanyi: "I know my crime..."
Hearing her answer, Xie Wenshu was so angry that he grabbed her hair and said, "Bitch, what crime have you ever confessed to?"
The pearl hairpins on her bun fell off, and her hair and scalp were pulled tightly together, causing Xie Wanyi to almost cry out in pain.
Qi Yue said coldly: "Leng Yue, break his dog claws for me."
The moment the words fell, Xie Wanyi's hair was freed, and Xie Wenshu fell to the ground, holding his hands and wailing in pain.
The county magistrate felt that his foot seemed to be more painful than before, and he just wanted to close the case quickly and go back to treat his injury.
