Chapter 134
Commit Public Outrage Tan Baw.a.n.g
Very soon, Cai Qing followed Jin Qiao out . When she saw County Magistrate Zhao, she hurriedly bowed, “Greetings, Lord Zhao . ”
Seeing that Cai Qing was really safe and sound, Tan Baw.a.n.g could not help but glare at her . This b.i.t.c.h must have turned her back on him at the last moment . Since she didn’t keep her word, Li’er should never think about living!
When Cai Qing saw Tan Baw.a.n.g, she couldn’t help but tremble and hide beside Mu Yunyao .
When County Magistrate Zhao saw this, his heart stirred slightly . He asked, “Cai Qing, did you willingly become Tan Baw.a.n.g’s concubine?”
Cai Qing shook her head quickly . “Lord Zhao, it was Tan Baw.a.n.g who hurt my two younger brothers and wanted to force me to submit to him . Fortunately, my younger brother Nan’er had some ties with Miss Mu . He took advantage of the opportunity when Tan Baw.a.n.g was threatening me to come out and ask for help . Miss Mu has been kind enough to save me before I was humiliated by him . ”
This b.i.t.c.h!
Tan Baw.a.n.g gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart and took out a written contract: “Lord Zhao, this written contract was sealed by Cai Qing . You can send someone to check if it is real or fake . You will know after being checked . ” After he takes care of Mu Yunyao, then he’ll take care of Cai Qing . If she dares to plot against his people, don’t even think about getting better!
The official then handed the written contract to County Magistrate Zhao . The writing and seal on it were clear and unmistakable . “Cai Qing, you signed the contract, why don’t you admit to it?”
Cai Qing glanced at Tan Baw.a.n.g, her eyes filled with anger: “Tan Baw.a.n.g, I didn’t expect you to be such a reckless person! Please be clear, Lord Zhao . My hand is injured, and I am unable to press my hand, so why would I sign the agreement?” As she spoke, she stretched out her hands . Her fingers were full of scars, and they had already formed scalds, especially on the back of the hand . The scalds covered with blood, making it impossible for her to make any hand seals .
Tan Baw.a.n.g stared blankly for a moment, then shouted harshly, “d.a.m.n Mu Yunyao, you actually instigated Cai Qing to lie and deceive County Magistrate Zhao . Your hand was still fine this morning . Why are you so injured that you can’t press your finger? It’s a pity that you guys are acting like this . How can you fool Lord Zhao? Please send a doctor! If we examine it, we can find that the wound on Cai Qing’s hand is new . In this way, we can prove their guilty conscience . ”
Tan Baw.a.n.g was extremely pleased in his heart . He really didn’t expect that Mu Yunyao would actually dare to leave behind such a huge weakness . Once the doctors had examined it, he wants to see how she would continue to quibble! He had initially wanted to see Mu Yunyao’s panicked appearance but discovered that her expression was calm, and even Cai Qing was calm .
County Magistrate Zhao a.s.signed a coroner to examine the wound on Cai Qing’s hand .
“Reporting to the Lord, from the look of the scalds on her hand, it has been five or six days . ”
“What?! It is impossible!” Tan Baw.a.n.g rushed forward and grabbed Cai Qing’s hand . He rubbed it with all his might, but the wounds were not fake at all .
Cai Qing suddenly wailed bitterly: “Lord Zhao, that day, my younger brother, Ah Mao, accidentally blocked the way, so Tan Baw.a.n.g asked his attendants to beat him and lied that Ah Mao had dirty his clothes and wanted to blackmail him for a hundred taels of silver . This servant was so angry that she went to the fore to argue . But Tan Baw.a.n.g didn’t work in teasing her . He also brought Matchmaker Liu to bully her and force her to become his concubine . But this servant refused to accept as his concubine . Then he asked his servant to beat my two younger brothers and me . Now, Nan’er and Ah Mao are unconscious and lying in Miss Mu’s house . You will know their injuries as soon as you can see them . Moreover, he has brought people to Ci You Bureau, and many folks all saw it, they can testify for me . ”
Cai Qing exclaimed, raising her hand and slapping him in the face, “Shameless! Lord Zhao, please redress the grievances of this commoner!” When Mu Yunyao helped to fake the wound on her hand, she was still worried about exposing it, but she didn’t expect that even the coroner wouldn’t be able to detect its authenticity . “How dare you, Tan Ban w.a.n.g! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!”
Tan Baw.a.n.g took note of the expression in Mu Yunyao’s eyes and felt a burst of panic in his heart . Everything must have been planned by this s.l.u.t . He was really led away by her nose . s.l.u.t, this d.a.m.nable little s.l.u.t!
“Lord, please enlighten me . The contract really was signed by Cai Qing …”
“That’s right . Tan Baw.a.n.g beat Ah Mao back then . I happened to pa.s.s by and even tried to persuade him . But to think that Tan Baw.a.n.g was so arrogant that he even wanted to beat me up . ”
“What Lady Cai Qing said is right . I saw Tan Baw.a.n.g leading his men to Ci You Bureau early this morning . ”
Cai Qing saluted and thanked the people who spoke out for their kindness . “Thank you all for testifying for me, Cai Qing is very grateful! Lord Zhao, that Tan Baw.a.n.g also captured my sister, Li’er, to threaten me . I wonder how my poor little sister is doing now? I beg you for help, Lord!”
Mu Yunyao, who had been silent all this time, finally opened her mouth . “Lord Zhao, by this time, you have already figured out who is black and white . Saving people is more important . What if we delay …”
County Magistrate Zhao nodded and turned his head to look at Tan Ban w.a.n.g, but his eyes were already exceptionally sharp . “How dare you, Tan Ban w.a.n.g, still refuse to tell the truth . Where did you kidnap her?”
“I . . . I didn’t kidnap anyone . Li’er or Ping’er, I don’t know anything about them . ” Tan Baw.a.n.g was already panicking . If he let County Magistrate Zhao find Li’er at this time, wouldn’t that be confirming the truth from Cai Qing’s words?
Suddenly, a shout came from the crowd, “I saw Tan Ban w.a.n.g’s follower carry a sack and go to their inn!”
County Governor Zhao’s eyes turned cold, “Guards, immediately go to the inn where Tan Baw.a.n.g is staying and search . ”
The people around the bustling are all looking bad . Tan Baw.a.n.g had said that he was the Young Master of Cai Yue Pavilion, so he was not a person from Jingling City . The shopkeeper of Cai Yue Pavilion used the money to cause a lot of trouble and some deaths, making the people in Jinling City have an awful impression of Cai Yue Pavilion . Now Caiyue Pavilion’s Young Master comes here again to steal away the women . It made them even more furious . Fortunately, Cai Yue Pavilion is locked up now . Otherwise, someone might strike the door .
Very quickly, the two officials returned . Behind them, a woman was carrying a little girl . The little girl’s body was full of wounds, and her face was pale . It seemed like she was short of breath .
The surrounding people became even angrier . This Tan Baw.a.n.g dared to steal a commoner’s daughter forcefully and even dared to harm innocent lives . Did he think that they could easily bully the people of Jingling City?
“Lord Zhao, you must severely punish this villain!”
“Lord Zhao, please uphold justice for these pitiful children!”
Cai Qing rushed in front of Li’er, fl.u.s.tered . “Miss Mu, I beg of you, please save my sister . ”
A doctor from the crowd stood up and said, “I’m dr . Zhang from Ren Shan Tang . How about letting me take a look at this little girl?”
Cai Qing looked panickily at Mu Yunyao . Seeing her slight nod of her head, she finally let go and let the doctor take Li’er’s pulse .
“This …” The doctor from Ren Shan Tang glared at Tan Baw.a.n.g and said, “If I had been more ruthless, this little girl would have died on the spot!”
County Magistrate Zhao’s expression was cold . He waved his hand and ordered the officials to arrest Tan Baw.a.n.g and the others, “Robbing a commoner’s daughter and maliciously beating up a commoner . I will interrogate you thoroughly!”
The people around were furious . Some of them picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Tan Baw.a.n.g and his followers .
As they started, more and more people began throwing things around . No one knew who actually brought out a pot of hot tea and threw it at the two bloodied attendants!
This situation didn’t matter, as the two attendants jumped up immediately . They lifted their sleeves and wiped their faces . With a wipe, the blood on their faces wiped clean, revealing their intact skin .
“They’re pretending!”
