Chapter 392: Who is the driving force behind this?
The Shuntian prefect waved his hand at the yamen runner and said, "Let him in."
The yamen runner put away his sword and took a step back.
Qiu Songbai strode in and bowed perfunctorily to the prefect.
"Your humble servant greets the prefect."
Then he looked at Lin Hong.
"Lin Hong, you are just a commoner, yet you dare to slander an official appointed by the imperial court. You are so audacious! You don't know whether you live or die!" Qiu Songbai shouted sternly.
Third Master Lin shouted angrily, "Qiu Songbai, how can you call my father by his given name?!"
Qiu Songbai sneered and said contemptuously: "That's your father, what does it have to do with me?"
Lin Hong used to be his father-in-law, and he was always respectful when he saw Lin Hong, but now it’s different!
In his eyes, Lin Hong had been stripped of his official title and was nothing more than a small ant.
What's more, Lin Wanyu is no longer his wife, so Lin Hong is naturally no longer his father-in-law.
After Qiu Songbai finished speaking, he looked at the prefect and said in a commanding tone, "Sir, Lin Hong has slandered the current minister. I request that you arrest Lin Hong and punish him severely! In accordance with the law of the land!"
His father was the Shangshu of the current dynasty. Under normal circumstances, he, as the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, would not take a small Shuntian Prefecture governor seriously at all.
After hearing what Qiu Songbai said, the Shuntian prefect looked at Lin Hong and asked seriously, "Lin Hong, do you have any evidence for your complaint?"
Although the question was directed at Lin Hong, the Shuntian Prefecture Governor looked at Lin Wanyu.
There was no way. Everyone present knew that although the person who complained was Lin Hong, it was Lin Wanyu who leaked the information.
Lin Hong, “…”
He also looked at Lin Wanyu.
Lin Wanyu looked at Qiu Songbai, a hint of pride on her face, and said, "Qiu Songbai, you Shangshufu used my dowry to win over the court officials. Do you think I would just let you take it for nothing without any record?"
Qiu Songbai's face changed, and he shouted angrily, "Bitch! Stop making up stories! My father is an upright official, loyal to the emperor. How could he win over court officials? Moreover, our Shangshu Mansion is a noble family. How could we use your dowry? You just squandered your dowry!"
"Upright? Pah!" Lin Wanyu said, "Your father is obsessed with personal gain, and your whole family is shameless and despicable!"
After Lin Wanyu finished speaking, she looked at the prefect and continued, "Sir, I have a booklet in my hand that records which ministers the Shangshu Mansion gave gifts to and what they were given. If you compare it with my dowry list, you will know if I am making it up."
A trace of panic appeared on Qiu Songbai's face.
He never expected that this woman, who had always been extremely stupid, would actually have such a trick up her sleeve.
It has to be said that Lin Wanyu's IQ was so high that even the Lin family's father and son were surprised for a moment.
"Sir, don't listen to this woman's nonsense!" Qiu Bosong looked at the prefect and said anxiously, "She has always been vicious. Even her father has sued her. How can you believe her words?"
"Qiu Songbai, I sued her before because I thought she was the only one who harmed my niece." Lin Hong said angrily, "I know now that you were the mastermind behind it all, so I'm suing you now!"
"Nonsense!" Qiu Songbai said with a humiliated expression, "Your daughter is so vicious that she murdered my fiancée. As a result, I didn't seek revenge for her and ended up marrying such a vicious woman. I should be the one suing your Lin family!"
After Qiu Songbai finished speaking, he looked at the prefect.
"Your Excellency, I am suing the Lin family for harming my fiancée first and then for deceiving her into marriage!"
"Qiu Songbai, do you have any shame? It was you who seduced me first and gave me the idea to harm Lin Wanru!" Lin Wanyu shouted, "Not only that, but over the years you've been bullying others, forcibly seizing married women, causing them to be separated from their families. You've even kidnapped women, causing families to be destroyed..."
"Bitch, stop talking nonsense!" Qiu Songbai was shocked and shouted angrily, "You are deliberately trying to hurt me!"
"I harmed you? If you were innocent, how could I harm you? Hahaha..." Lin Wanyu laughed out loud, "Qiu Songbai, I told you you would regret it! I told you I would leave you dead without a burial place!"
"Bitch!" Qiu Songbai rushed forward and was about to hit Lin Wanyu.
Unfortunately, Lin Hong grabbed the wrist of his outstretched hand tightly.
"Ah!" Qiu Songbai screamed and felt his wrist was broken.
Seeing this, Lin Wanyu felt happy.
Then, he looked at the prefect and said loudly, "Prefect, my housekeeper knows that Qiu Songbai seduced me. You can find out if you ask her. Besides, the woman Qiu Songbai raped left a son, who is being raised on my farm..."
"Bitch, you..."
"Snap!"
The gavel in the prefect's hand, which had been unused for a long time, was finally used!
"How dare you! No noise is allowed in the court!" the prefect said angrily.
"mighty--"
The yamen runners on both sides immediately shouted slogans and started to work officially.
The melon has been almost eaten, and now it’s time to actually try the case.
At this time, the prefect began to look at Lin Wanyu with new respect.
If what Lin Wanyu said was true and she could provide evidence, not to mention Qiu Songbai, the entire Shangshu Mansion would be doomed.
After all, what the emperor hates most is forming cliques for personal gain.
Since Lin has the booklet, then...
The prefect looked at Zhang Tiechi who was among the onlookers.
Zhang Tiechi was looking at the prefect.
Then, their eyes met!
The prefect, "..."
Zhang Tiechi, “…”
Then, both of them acted as if nothing had happened and looked away again.
"Sir, I come to surrender myself!"
As the words were spoken, a man in his fifties squeezed in from the crowd.
The prefect looked at the man and suddenly felt something in his heart.
The person who came forward to surrender at this time should be related to today's case.
"Bring the person in!" ordered the prefect.
Soon, the man was brought up.
"Sir, I am Li Lisheng, who was hired to kill the eldest daughter of the Duke of England." After the man came in, he did not hesitate. He knelt on the ground and spoke loudly.
The prefect felt that this was as expected.
Then, the prefect looked at Zhang Tiechi again.
I'm afraid that Zhang Tiechi didn't just happen to pass by Shuntian Prefecture.
I'm afraid there's someone behind this...
Who is this person?
The prefect suddenly became very curious about Lin Hong's niece.
How could a woman who had been living away from home for so many years have the ability to cause such a big incident?
I'm afraid the entire court will be in turmoil.
