Chapter 163: Reporting to the Officials
“Village Chief Yang, it’s not that we’re unwilling to forgive him. Look at what he did. Everything he did hurt the villagers’ hearts. If everyone is willing to forgive him, I have nothing to say,” Ning Yue said.
In fact, her ultimate goal was not to punish or expose him. Instead, she wanted Yang Ling to know his mistake and learn a lesson.
However, from the mont she discovered the problem until now, Yang Ling did not seem to have done anything. He just kept pretending to be stupid and shaking his head to say that he did not want to kill his family. This did not look like he was taking responsibility.
“He’s still young. He…” Yang Guang wanted to explain that Yang Ling was still young and insensible.
However, on second thought, wasn’t Ning Yue even younger?
Ning Yue could open an oil press at such a young age and do so much business to benefit the villagers. She even beca the next heiress. Any one of these traits was much better than Yang Ling.
Yang Guang suddenly did not know how to explain. He took a deep breath and stood up to look at the villagers behind him.
Yang Guang actually had no problems, but Yang Guang’s brother was not a good person. He was lazy and cunning. He had once accidentally fallen into the lake to avoid the main family when he stole sothing.
Yang Guang’s sister-in-law wanted to cause trouble at the main family’s house and ask for money. In the end, he had to expose his sister-in-law. After that, Yang Guang begged the people to forgive them.
At that ti, everyone saw that Yang Ling had lost his father when he was young, so they did not pursue the matter.
Although Yang Ling had studied well, he was a lazy person. After becoming a scholar, he did not plan to continue studying. He had been at ho since he was young and did not talk about marriage.
Even with Yang Guang, the village chief, around, he was unwilling to talk to Yang Ling’s family, let alone marry his daughter over.
Yang Guang was worried sick about Yang Ling, but his nephew did not seem to appreciate it.
He had stayed at ho for a long ti and had not found anything serious to do. It was not easy for him to get a job at an oil press. Yang Ling ca to beg Yang Guang to find him sothing to do.
He thought that Yang Guang had finally understood and finally knew that he had to find a proper job, so he asked Old Master Ning for help. He did not expect sothing to happen again.
Yang Guang would never have thought that Yang Ling would be so bold to actually dare to be greedy for so much money.
The commotion here naturally alard Yang Ling’s mother, Madam Li. She did not expect her son to be reported to the authorities one day.
“Heir of Prince Jin, I beg you to let my son go. Please don’t take offense. Please.” Madam Li kept kowtowing to Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying sighed. He had noticed sothing Yang Guang had said previously. Yang Guang said that Yang Ling could learn anything but be f*cking shrewd.
In other words, his mother had taught him to beco like this.
“My fiancée said that this matter is not sothing we can decide. The oil press works with nobles. Whether it’s the process of work or the sale of refined oil, it’s a cause that benefits the people. Your son is greedy for silver. Do you know that this silver is given by the Imperial Court?” Jiang Ying asked Madam Li.
Madam Li was stunned. She did not understand. Wasn’t it just a small oil press? Why was it related to the Imperial Court?
By the way, the man in front of her was the heir of Prince Jin, and this woman was the future heiress. Were they not from the Imperial Court?
Madam Li still did not realize her mistake, let alone how serious her son’s mistake was.
She kept kowtowing to Jiang Ying and Ning Yue, begging them to let Yang Ling off.
At this mont, Ning Yue looked at Yang Ling again. The mont Madam Li knelt down, a trace of pity flashed across Yang Ling’s eyes.
It was this trace of pity that made Ning Yue secretly heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yang Ling was not so hopeless. He still had so humanity and could still be saved.
“Madam Li, Prince Jiang has already told you that it’s useless for you to beg us. As long as you can obtain the understanding of everyone present, your son will be fine,” Ning Yue said.
“Of course, if you can’t make everyone understand, the authorities will take him away.”
Just as Ning Yue finished speaking, the official Jiang Ying had invited over arrived.
The county magistrate of Laifu Village knew that Jiang Ying had invited him and ca over personally.
He did not dare to slight the heir of Prince Jin. God knew that the developnt of Laifu Village to this day was all thanks to the future heiress. He did not dare to offend the God of Fortune.
