Chapter 754: 754: Every Word is a Bloody Tear

The “Daqi Law” has loopholes, unable to bring the Sun Family to justice.

But beyond the law, there is morality.

If the law can’t punish the Sun Family, then can they be judged by morality?

Thus, she and Tong Sanlang Hua Xiaofeng went to the Sun Family to seek justice. As a result, the Sun Family insulted her, Sun Junyan also insulted her. Her husband, Tong Sanlang, in order to protect her, coupled with his previous resentment, couldn’t help but raise his hand against Qiao Meipan and Sun Junyan.

Qiao Meipan was kicked.

Sun Junyan was also kicked.

Just because of this, Cen Hong Ping, a county magistrate, suddenly intervened, trying to intimidate her with his official authority.

She hadn’t even had a chance to appeal her grievances when she was threatened by Cen Hong Ping. Could she even go on with her life?

She couldn’t go on!

Today, she appeals for justice by beating the drum, hoping the county magistrate will help her family!

With the heavens above and the thick earth below, with this bright universe between, stocked full of righteous energy, she wanted to ask: could someone please control such beasts like the Sun Family?

Should such beasts like the Sun Family be allowed to continue harming her family like this?!

The County Magistrate, sitting high upon his seat, listened to Qiao Xiaomai’s impassioned and sincere appeal. Sympathy showed on his face, such a plea indeed could bring the listeners to tears.

Meanwhile, Cen Hong Ping, Sun Junyan and Qiao Meipan from the Sun and Qiao families were jumping with rage.

The Sun Family, having been pierced by Hua Xiaofeng, could only lay on the ground, their clothing stained with blood, their heads buzzing, and several of their teeth knocked out by Tong Sanlang.

Sun Junyan’s appearance was destroyed too, which may affect his future prospects of marriage and an official career.

Qiao Meipan was kicked, clutching her chest in pain, almost unable to move on the ground.

In such a horrendous state, they should be the ones accusing Qiao Xiaomai and asking for justice from the County Magistrate.

Yet, it turned out that Qiao Xiaomai accused them first, turning the tables on them!

Qiao Xiaomai, inverting right and wrong, where is justice in this world?!

“County Magistrate, look at my mother’s wounds, at my face, all inflicted by Qiao Xiaomai in a fit of personal spite. This cunning woman is adept at distorting facts and muddling right and wrong. You mustn’t be fooled by her words!”

Sun Junyan, burning with an intense rage that shows on his face, wished he could burn Qiao Xiaomai to ashes right away.@@novelbin@@

The County Magistrate turned to him upon hearing this, and said, “Top Scholar Sun, as for what Qiao Xiaomai has said, this official is well aware. I remember when the Village Chief Tong Elder brought your mother to sever the relationship.”

“Her words are not false, she is not distorting the truth.”

“Sir, but my mother and I are injured and it’s all right there. According to the “Daqi Law”, they should be sentenced!”

The County Magistrate stroked his beard, showing a difficult expression, and replied cautiously. “The ‘Daqi Law’ specifies malicious assault that causes injury or disability. You’ve heard what Qiao Xiaomai just said, every word of hers is soaked with tears.”

“Under these circumstances, if they used a bit excessive force, wouldn’t you agree it wasn’t out of malice?”

“Sir, Qiao Xiaomai, Tong Sanlang and Hua Xiaofeng are purely vindictive!” Sun Junyan firmly stated, recounting exactly what had happened when Qiao Xiaomai and the others came to confront them earlier.

This is instigating trouble!

This is intentional and malicious!

Upon hearing this, the County Magistrate looked even more troubled, “Top Scholar Sun, you said it yourself, it was your mother who cursed first. Surely, you can’t blame Tong Scholar for striking first?”

“It was Qiao Xiaomai who started the dispute!”

“She was just being sarcastic, but your mother outright insulted.”

“Sir!” Sun Junyan’s eyes widened and his voice grew louder at these words. “She compared me to a dog, isn’t that an insult?”

“Sir, you can’t just side with Qiao Xiaomai because she has once been seen by the Retired Emperor. Today’s affair should be judged according to the ‘Daqi Law’.”
