588 Confrontation in Court
“If it weren’t for this commoner’s survival instinct, taking advantage of the ti when they were discussing how to deal with this commoner, perhaps this commoner would be dead already.”
Lin yuelan’s description gave the person who made the complaint a sense of fear.
“This was my family.” What a heartless father. They didn’t give a child a way out. And this child was their granddaughter, niece, and biological daughter.
Just as this child had said, if they were really afraid of being jinxed, then they should directly cut off all blood relations first and cut off all kinship. Then they would not be so-called relatives. Since they weren’t family, then the jinx wouldn’t be able to harm them.
However, how did these people do it?
It was only the second day of the rumor, and they were already so cruel to their own granddaughter, niece, and even daughter.
This was too terrifying!
After hearing Lin yuelan’s story, Lin Laosan and Lin Sanniu’s expressions turned ugly and angry.
This wretched girl had actually aired the “family scandal”.
This really made them angry and annoyed.
Lin Laosan’s face turned ashen as he scolded Lin yuelan angrily, “Damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about? If the Lin family really wanted to kill you back then, would you still be standing in court and being so disrespectful to your own grandfather and father?”
“you wretched girl, you should die. Otherwise, our Lin family will not have a good life!” A sharp female voice was heard from the side.
County Magistrate Zhou smacked the gavel heavily and said sternly, ” who is it that dares to roar in court? do you know what cri you should be charged with? ”
This sharp and shrill voice could only co from li Cuihua.
When she heard Lin yuelan say that they wanted to kill her, she was as angry as Lin Laosan. That was why she instinctively cursed at Lin yuelan.
At this mont, after being shouted at by County Magistrate Zhou, she was so scared that she imdiately shrank her neck and kept quiet. She avoided her eyes and did not dare to look at County Magistrate Zhou in the High Hall.
After intimidating the people who were making a scene, County Magistrate Zhou imdiately shouted sternly at Lin Sandou, ” how dare you, Lin Sandou, shout loudly in court. Do you know what cri you should be punished for? ”
Lin Laosan was imdiately jolted awake by County Magistrate Zhou’s words. He kowtowed and begged for rcy. “please forgive , my Lord. I know my mistake.”
County Magistrate Zhou said loudly with a serious expression, ” alright, I’ll spare you this ti on account of your good attitude in admitting your guilt. If you do it again, you will be punished ten tis, and no one will be able to take the punishnt for you, do you understand?”
When Lin Laosan heard this, he couldn’t help but kowtow. “thank you, Your Excellency.”
County Magistrate Zhou nodded and said, “Good.”
Then, County Magistrate Zhou confird with Lin yuelan, ” Lin yuelan, are you telling the truth? Do you have any evidence to prove it?”
When Lin Laosan heard this, he imdiately wanted to interrupt, but when he thought of County Magistrate Zhou’s words, he imdiately didn’t dare to say anything.
Lin yuelan cupped her fists and replied, ” my Lord, everything I said is true. When I escaped from the Lin family’s courtyard, I ran into the village chief and the other villagers. They can vouch for that it was the Lin family who wanted dead.”
When County Magistrate Zhou heard this, he imdiately turned to Lin Sanniu and asked, ” Lin Sanniu, is what Lin yuelan said true? Were you the ones who wanted to poison your own daughter?”
Lin Sanniu was lying on the ground. He didn’t dare to answer County Magistrate Zhou’s question, but he had no choice. He braced himself and said, “Your Excellency, it’s true!”
This matter could be verified in the Lin family Village, so even if he wanted to lie, he couldn’t.
The mont Lin Sanniu admitted to this, the crowd by the door imdiately went into an uproar.
They couldn’t believe this.
Such a truth was truly too terrifying.
County Magistrate Zhou smacked the gavel again, and the heavy sound imdiately resounded throughout the entire court.
County Magistrate Zhou asked sternly, ” Lin Sanniu, Lin Sandou, do you know that killing soone is a capital cri? ”
The mont Lin Sanniu heard about the death penalty, the pale Lin Sanniu imdiately panicked. He kept kowtowing and said, ” please spare , my Lord! I know I was wrong!”
County Magistrate Zhou continued, ” since you didn’t commit any serious mistakes in the past, Lin Yuelan was spared, and you can be spared from death. However, you cannot escape from the punishnt!
“As the head of the Lin family and Lin yuelan’s grandfather, Lin Laosan had ordered his own son, Lin yuelan’s father, to kill Lin yuelan in secret. This was a serious cri, and he would be flogged thirty tis. Lin Sanniu, you have committed the cri of intentional murder. Since you were following orders, you had no choice but to do so. Your sentence will be reduced to twenty flogs of the wooden plank. Execute it imdiately!”
Very quickly, a bailiff pulled the two of them to a long bench and laid them down. Then, the rod that was as thick as a baby’s arm imdiately landed heavily on them.
Everyone was shocked by this unexpected result.
Didn’t the father co to sue his daughter for being unfilial?
Why did this result seem to be so awkward?
The accused was fine, but the plaintiff listed a few cris and then was punished.
In reality, this result shocked the Lin family mbers who had co with Lin Sanniu and Lin Laosan.
When they ca, they were confident that they could sue Lin yuelan and get her money, house, shop, and everything else. Then, they could live a good life with a group of servants and be served.
However, in this court, they had never expected that before the case was filed, they, the plaintiff, would already be charged with a cri.
What went wrong?
