The title of County Lord was indeed not just for show, as the people in the Governnt Office arrived even more quickly than expected, taking rely three quarters of an hour to rush over. Jingzhao Yin thought that there truly were villains intending to harm Princess Hejia, so he specially dispatched half of the Governnt Officials to assist.
However, when they saw the Du Family, old and young, filled with fear and the father and sons of the Du Family lying on the ground covered in blood, bordering on life and death, the Governnt Officials were bewildered. After exchanging glances, they concluded that the villains threatening Princess Hejia had fled, and the three on the ground must have been valiantly wounded while protecting Princess Hejia.
But in the next mont, Mo Yan’s words brutally shattered their speculations, "These people have collided with this County Lord and plotted against this County Lord. Take them all back to the Governnt Office, and judge them as you should. This County Lord believes that you officials will surely handle this impartially."
On the phrase "handle this impartially," Mo Yan deliberately emphasized his tone.
Upon hearing this, the Governnt Officials exchanged glances, looking at Mo Yan with eyes that scread "You’re joking": If they were truly villains, why would they hurt themselves like this?
Mo Yan covered his face and coughed dryly, pointing to Mother Wen, who was sitting in a chair, beaten by Du Laizi to the point she couldn’t stand straight, and then at the Du family father and sons lying on the ground, he said without changing expression, "They initially didn’t know the identity of this County Lord and intended to harm this County Lord, but fortunately, that Mother Wen desperately protected , allowing this County Lord to escape unhard! Once I revealed my identity, these three scoundrels feared this County Lord would pursue their cris. The father deliberately smashed his sons with the tea table and then pretended to fall, intentionally hitting the tea table to fra this County Lord, trying to blackmail this County Lord into releasing them. Otherwise, who here do you think could have hurt them? Are you suspecting this County Lord?"
"This subordinate dares not!" The Governnt Officials quickly apologized, even if they felt there was sothing fishy about the situation, they dared not question the County Lord personally ordained by The Emperor.
Moreover, with a household of over a dozen people, including three strong n, and Princess Hejia, a seemingly weak girl, could she really have beaten three grown n to such a state? If a young girl could be so formidable, would they even need these n to risk their lives?
The Du Family, on the other hand, were like grabbing onto a life-saving straw, knelt in front of the Governnt Officials, crying and confessing the truth, loudly exposing Mo Yan’s lies, begging the Officer to do justice and release their innocent family.
Mo Yan did not stop the Du Family from making their last struggle, coldly watching them cry injustice.
The Governnt Officials were not fools; they would not offend Princess Hejia of such high status on behalf of a few commoners. Even if there was a grievance for the Du Family, they should seek redress at the Governnt Office. The officials were only responsible for arresting people, other matters were to be decided by their superiors. If they ddled in affairs not their concern, wouldn’t that be overstepping their boundaries?
And so, the Du Family of over a dozen people were tied up and taken away like livestock, their mouths gagged with rags provided by the Liu Family. Even the elderly parents of the Du Family were not exempt, though, considering their frail bodies, they were not handled too roughly.
As for the unconscious father and sons of the Du Family lying on the ground, they were also bound and carried away. Whether they would receive dical treatnt or not, Mo Yan did not know, nor did he want to know. The resentnt in his heart lessened a lot as the Du Family were led away.
Because of the arrival of the Governnt Officials and the Du Family’s loud cries, a crowd had gathered in front of Liu’s house to watch the excitent. Upon learning from the officials that the Du Family were arrested for offending Princess Hejia, there was a hint of regret in their hearts. Princess Hejia was too far out of their reach, too exalted, and they were more interested in gossip about the Liu Family.
The crisis of the Liu Family was thus smoothly resolved through Mo Yan’s violent and privileged intervention. The Mother and Daughters of Liu Family were full of gratitude towards Mo Yan, not knowing how to properly thank him; they could only express many words of gratitude, which made Mo Yan rather embarrassed.
