The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion Chapter 187: Ask Your Grace to see clearly
It was clear without even thinking that these two must have a close relationship with the new county magistrate, otherwise, not just anyone could sit in this court hall.
Deputy Magistrate Cui felt a tingling sensation go through his scalp, knowing that he had kicked an iron plate yesterday.
Now it looked like the main reason why the county magistrate treated him like this was to vent his anger for these two people.
Deputy Magistrate Cui believed he had found the root of why the county magistrate treated him this way.
It seed that if he wanted to resolve the current crisis, he could only appease these two people.
Deputy Magistrate Cui struggled to crawl in front of Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran, squeezing out a smile uglier than crying.
"You two, yesterday it was negligence on this official's part that caused to wrongly assign you to the wrong place. This official will imdiately order soone to help you switch to a better village."
Mo Jiuye sneered coldly: "Hehe... then it depends on whether Deputy Magistrate Cui still has the authority to reorder us a village or not."
"You--" Before Deputy Magistrate Cui could finish what he was saying, ng Huaining slamd the court block on the table.
"How bold, Cui Wen. Without this official giving you permission, who allowed you to talk freely in the court hall?"
Cui Wen was already wary of what Mo Jiuye had just said, and seeing the county magistrate's attitude, he was now fully aware that the current situation was very unfavorable to him.
His lower body was injured, and even the slightest movent would cause unbearable pain. When he crawled in from outside the county governnt earlier, Cui Wen was already drenched in sweat from the pain. Still, he endured the pain and knelt towards ng Huaining's direction.
"County magistrate, this subordinate has been serving the people of Yun City diligently for many years. Even if I don't have rit, at least I have hard work. I beg you to show rcy..."
As he spoke, Cui Wen shed tears in front of everyone.
If they didn't know better, they would have thought he suffered terrible injustice.
ng Huaining had seen this kind of scene many tis before and felt no sympathy for him at all.
He slamd the court block forcefully again.
"Cui Wen, you have wantonly committed evil in Yun City by taking advantage of your position to oppress n and covet won. Are you aware of your cris?"
Cui Wen looked up with tears in his eyes, "My lord, this subordinate has been frad. I have never done such things before, please discern this clearly."
ng Huaining knew that it would be useless to give soone like Cui Wen a hard ti if he kept insisting on his innocence.
He looked towards the yan runners on both sides of the court hall and ordered, "Co, drag Cui Wen out and give him twenty heavy beatings."
"My lord, this subordinate is frad... My lord..." Upon hearing that he would receive twenty heavy beatings, Cui Wen was already so frightened that he could not speak properly.
The yan runners did not hesitate to co up and drag Cui Wen out of the court hall.
Cui Wen still desperately begged for rcy, "My lord, this subordinate is injured and cannot be beaten..."
If it were in the past, the yan runners would hesitate for a mont when a prisoner pleaded for rcy to see the county magistrate's intention.
But today they could be certain that the new county magistrate was determined to punish the Yun City County Magistrate no matter what, so there was absolutely no chance for reprieve.
Therefore, the yan runners had no intention of stopping as they directly dragged the man outside to the public square, and in front of all the onlooking commoners, gave Cui Wen a brutal twenty heavy beatings.
The planks landed heavily on his skin and flesh, and screams were endless.
Inside the court hall, ng Huaining did not idle either. He ordered several commoners who had previously accused Cui Wen to co in and kneel on one side of the hall.
The commoners knelt down one by one.
The battered Cui Wen, who now looked like mud, was dragged back in by the yan runners and thrown hard in the middle.
ng Huaining slamd the court block again.
"Cui Wen, will you confess yourself or shall I have each of these commoners state their grievances one by one?"
It was only now that Cui Wen noticed several commoners had appeared in the court hall.
When he looked closely, it seed he did have so impression of these people.
There was the one whose daughter he had seized. There was also the one whose shop he had occupied. And there was...
Cui Wen was dumbfounded.
These people used to not even dare show anger towards him. Now that the new county magistrate had arrived, they rushed over eagerly to accuse him.
Thinking of this, Cui Wen's gaze towards those commoners instantly turned extrely sinister.
It was as if threatening them that if they dared speak nonsense, he would settle accounts with them soday.
The commoners were originally quite afraid of Cui Wen. Although the county magistrate was backing them today, when they saw his expression, they couldn't help but tremble.
Cui Wen had glared at the commoners with his back facing ng Huaining, so he naturally did not notice.
However, Cui Wen's little gesture did not escape Mo Jiuye's eyes.
"Cui Wen, what do you an by glaring at those commoners?"
Upon hearing this, ng Huaining slamd the court block heavily again.
"Cui Wen, with this official present, you still dare threaten the commoners?"
This loud noise frightened Cui Wen so much that his body shuddered.
He struggled to move his body to kowtow to ng Huaining, but with his lower body injured and his back battered from the twenty heavy beatings, he was now no different from a high paraplegic patient.
Still, Cui Wen exerted great effort to bow down on the ground towards ng Huaining.
"My lord, this subordinate is frad. I haven't said a word, how could I threaten those commoners?"
"Humph! Glib tongue, this official will ask you again. Will you confess yourself or shall I let these grievously hard commoners state their case?"
After all, Cui Wen was still a county magistrate. He was very clear about trial proceedings like this.
If he confessed, it would substantiate the charges and make it difficult to recant his confession later.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and decided he could not confess.
"My lord, this subordinate serves the people wholeheartedly and has nothing to confess."
ng Huaining sneered inwardly. It's already co to this, yet you still insist on dying. This official will show you whose words carry more weight, yours or my authority.
He looked towards the kneeling commoners, "The one who once hard you, Cui Wen, is here. State your grievances and this official will serve justice for you."
The few commoners looked at each other and gradually stepped forward to tell of Cui Wen's evil deeds.
Initially, Cui Wen kept denying the accusations stubbornly, but ng Huaining ordered soone to shut his mouth.
After the first group of commoners had finished telling their grievances, the second group ca up to testify.
The surrounding commoners who were observing could not help but curse Cui Wen for being deranged as they listened to everyone's accounts.
So had even run ho to fetch rotten vegetable leaves and stinky eggs to pelt the crazy, treacherous dog after he left the court.
It was not until ng An could no longer grip the writing brush steadily that ng Huaining ordered the halt of hearing commoners' grievances.
Even though there were still many unspoken grievances, just these were enough for Cui Wen to die a hundred tis over.
ng Huaining publicly announced the removal of Cui Wen from the position of Yun City County Magistrate. As for how he would be dealt with, it would be decided after all the cases had been fully tried.
Of course, everyone present understood clearly that there was no possibility of Cui Wen staying alive. The things he had done warranted lingchi, at the very least.
