93 You Want To Make A Confession Under Torture?

Her words made the commoners who were reading half of the gossip exclaim in surprise. What was going on? It sounded like the great master of the clear sky wanted to beat someone into a confession? This news was explosive!

When the whispers from the crowd reached Constable Wang’s ears, he immediately became anxious.

The county magistrate was a person who cherished his reputation. In order to create an image of loving the people like his own children, he even opened the doors of the government office at dawn and sat in the court to read through cases. This was all to let people see his diligent and loving side.

Now that Mo Ruyue had made such a ruckus, wouldn’t the commoners who didn’t know the “truth” think that the county magistrate was slandering a good person and wanted to force them to confess?

Constable Wang immediately chided him in a panic, “You, you shut up! You’re a swindler who uses the name of a Divine Doctor to swindle people and even treated our Grand Master’s wife badly. Grand Master used you to question you and you still dare to bite back.”

“Oh?”

The surrounding commoners once again dragged out their questions, and then some people began to discuss.

“Divine Doctor? Some time ago, they said that there was a female divine doctor who was very powerful. She seemed to be from some Qin Family Village. Could it be that she was the one they were talking about?”

“Yes, yes, yes. There was such a thing. Back then, I even told my husband how much money it would cost to get someone to treat him. Why? So it’s a scammer.”

“Who knows? Let’s take a look first. It seems to be quite lively.”

Mo Ruyue listened to the whispers and said unhurriedly, “If you want to convict me, you must have evidence, or at least an interrogation process. Now, just based on the county magistrate’s words that I’ve ill-treated Madam, without any evidence or even an interrogation process, you’ve convicted me. If this were to happen to any other commoner, you can ask them if they are convinced. ”

Her one sentence pulled the surrounding commoners to her side. They originally had an expression of watching a show, but when they heard her words and associated it with her, their expressions suddenly changed.

“Constable Wang, the county magistrate asked you to bring her in for questioning. Why did you convict her of a crime in private and even want to put on shackles and shackles? Even if you have a personal grudge with Lady Qin, don’t vent it out at this time, or else you’ll tire out the county magistrate!”

A voice suddenly rang out and attracted everyone’s attention. Then, the crowd split into two sides. Constable Liao walked over from the back and stood beside the imperial carriage. He looked at Mo Ruyue and said, “Lady Qin, the county magistrate is inside preparing to raise the case. If you feel that you have been wronged, just tell him. Our master will not make a false confession.”

He had only said two sentences after he had appeared, but they were both to help the county magistrate out of his predicament. He had instantly turned the unfavorable situation around.

Constable Wang was stunned by the first sentence. He only came back to his senses now and was in a hurry to explain.

“Constable Liao, what do you mean? You’re clearly…”

“Shut up! Don’t tell me that you still want to continue to destroy the county magistrate. Do you really think that there is no law in this dynasty, and that you can do as you please just because the county magistrate is kind and magnanimous?”

Although his tone was calm, there was a hint of chilliness in it. Constable Wang immediately shut his mouth. He realized that he had fallen into a double trap.

No wonder the magistrate wanted to bring Mo Ruyue back. When he was fighting to get the task, this Liao guy didn’t follow him. He had been scheming against him!

Unfortunately, he realized it too late. By the time he noticed that something was wrong, Liao had already succeeded.

“Constable Liao, please allow me to send my carriage to the carriage store. I’m here anyway, so you don’t have to worry about me running away.”

Since Mo Ruyue had already achieved her goal, she didn’t want to waste her breath on Constable Liao. This man was sinister and meticulous. Although she wasn’t afraid, she didn’t want to waste her time on him.

“Alright, please do as you wish, Lady Qin.”

Constable Liao looked at Mo Ruyue deeply and actually agreed to her request.

After Mo Ruyue left the imperial carriage at the carriage store, she returned to the magistrate’s office. This time, she went directly to the court and looked at the county magistrate who was sitting behind the court table. She said in an indifferent tone, “Greetings, Old Master.”

“Impudent! The criminal didn’t kneel before the magistrate? Come on, let’s hit her three times with the staff!”

The magistrate didn’t say anything, but the advisor beside him shouted. Immediately, the bailiffs standing on both sides began to hit the ground with their rods and growled, “Mighty and mighty~”

Two bailiffs came over, looking like they were going to catch her and beat her with a stick.

“I was invited by the county magistrate for questioning. Constable Liao said so himself, so why did the advisor say that I’m a criminal? So what Constable Liao said outside just now, was it just for the common people to hear?”

Her one sentence made the advisor stare and speechless. He wanted to explain something, but he saw the commoners crowded at the entrance of the Yamen and then heard a cold snort from behind the case.

“Lady Qin, just now, Grand Master’s words were strange. This official did find you to question, but this official received a complaint that you treated human lives like grass, so even if you are not a confirmed criminal, you are still a suspect. According to the laws of our Empire, one has to be struck with the deathly might rod first. ”

The magistrate picked up a piece of paper from the table and waved it around. Just as he was about to put it down, Mo Ruyue spoke.

“Old Master, can you let this commoner see the accusation? Shouldn’t you at least read it to me?”

“Hmph, you want to see? Take it!”

The county magistrate was waiting for this sentence. He immediately passed the file to the side. The private advisor took it and walked directly to Mo Ruyue’s side to hand it to her.

“Oh, the one who wrote the accusation was the county magistrate’s wife.”

Mo Ruyue only took a glance and directly pointed out the person who wrote the petition.

“This official’s wife had previously invited Lady Qin to treat her, but the treatment became worse. She felt that she was deceived and should expose this matter, so she wrote this complaint.”

“She’s also a citizen of this dynasty, so I can take this case. Then now, shouldn’t Lady Qin finish this killing rod strike first, and then we can talk about it later?”

The corners of Magistrate Liu’s lips curled up unconsciously after he finished speaking. Fortunately, he had already prepared himself beforehand, so he was not afraid of Mo Ruyue’s attack.

Mo Ruyue was about to speak when she suddenly heard a few familiar voices coming from behind.

“Old Master, I’ve been wronged!”

“Old Master, our mother has been wronged!”

“I’m… I’m innocent!”

She turned around and saw her babies squeezing out from the crowd. San Bao tiptoed to get the drumsticks of the wailing drum of injustice. However, she was too small and could not reach them.

“Why are you guys here?”

Mo Ruyue’s eyes immediately widened. She didn’t expect to see these babies crying out for her at this time.

“Da Bao, how do you take care of your younger siblings? Why did you bring them here?”

Although her tone was very strict, a trace of confusion and gentleness could be heard. The slight trembling in her voice was even more unnoticeable if one did not listen carefully.

“Mother, you’ve been slandered. We can’t just stand by and watch. If it wasn’t for our Zhenzhen who urged you to save people, this wouldn’t have happened today.”
