Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 546 - : Scared by the Beating!

Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Scared by the Beating!

“Third Sister-in-law, are you alright? Don’t scare Cui’er…”

Ms. Xin was obviously scared too, tightly holding Liu Sisi’s hand and not daring to let go.

“I’m fine! Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Liu Sisi was also sweating profusely from the fright! If it weren’t for Ms. Xin catching her in time, she might have really fallen.

She looked up at Di Yelei, shook her head, and gestured that she was okay.

Di Yelei finally breathed a sigh of relief!

“Sisi, you really should be more careful…”

As Di Yelei dragged the rattling iron chain, the two finally held hands.

“Ye Lei, I’m fine, I just didn’t notice what was at my feet just now.”

Liu Sisi smiled awkwardly.

It was difficult for her to step over the high doorway of the county government office while pregnant. If she had fallen, who knows what unexpected things could have happened!

She subconsciously looked around and a sense of alertness rose in her heart. In her original standing position, only Old Cheng and Ms. Xin were standing there.

Who had pushed her from behind just now?

She remembered that during the Lunar New Year’s Eve, someone had almost tripped her as well. Fortunately, Ms. Xin reacted quickly and saved her.

Could it be… that this was just another drama orchestrated by Ms. Xin?

The other party’s scheming was just too heavy, but what good would it do for her?

Ms. Xin’s deep, meaningful gaze left Liu Sisi feeling inexplicably uneasy. However, she could not explain herself clearly. All she could do was smile awkwardly and fall silent.

County Magistrate Su couldn’t bear it any longer. He picked up the wooden block and slammed it down heavily, scolding loudly!

“Silence, silence, criminal, kneel down!”

“Majestic! ——”

The governmental office’s runners on both sides began their routine of proclaiming the proceedings, tapping their killing rods on the ground to create a dense clatter.

Di Yelei was full of bravado, displaying his arrogance!

Yesterday, he had been forcibly fed Ten-Scent Soft Tendon Powder. At the moment, his hands and feet were weak, and he could barely stand. Yet, he still stood proudly in the court room!

“I the Official am a seventh-rank sub-captain, just like County Magistrate Su. There is absolutely no reason for me to kneel before you!”

His cold and piercing aura soared, his face filled with murderous intent!

“And you have no authority to judge me. You two are knowingly breaking the law. Release me immediately, or I will file a complaint, and the consequences for abusing your power will be severe. Humph!”

County Magistrate Su couldn’t help but tremble, feeling an inexplicable chill run down his spine. It was as if Di Yelei would storm the court and snap his neck at any moment!

An inexplicable goosebump sensation spread across his body, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Seeing the expressions of the two officials, the common people around the county office couldn’t help but gossip in hushed voices, criticizing County Magistrate Su.

“What’s going on? Weren’t they supposed to be trying a vicious criminal who raped and murdered? What’s happening now?”

“What vicious criminal? He is a seventh-rank sub-captain. Do you think he needs to rape and murder someone to get the woman he wants?”

“They say these officials collude with each other. Just a few days ago, I heard that Lord Sub-Captain was pleading for the people and intercepted County Magistrate Su and others many times. That’s probably when the seeds of disaster were planted…”

“Does County Magistrate Su really know the law and yet still break it by trying a fellow official?”

“…”

Around them, clamors and whispers continued nonstop!

How could ordinary people understand these matters? Among the noisy crowd, there were probably quite a few Li Sect members present.

What they want is to create public opinion among the masses!

Liu Sisi slightly lowered her eyes, suppressing the ferocity in her gaze!

The net has already been cast. Whether the fish dies or the net breaks will be clear very soon!

Neither County Magistrate Su nor Xin Quan expected such a situation to happen today.

When they realized what was going on, their anger only grew.

“Bring the criminal to the hall!”

“Silence, silence! No loud noises are allowed in the court, and those who violate this rule will be punished with twenty strokes of the rod as a warning to others!”

To cover up his embarrassment, he heavily struck the wooden block multiple times.

“How daring of you, Di Yelei! You don’t even realize that you’re at death’s door? Get someone to beat him, to beat him to death!”

As he spoke, he picked up a token and threw it at Di Yelei’s feet with a sharp noise.

“You dare! I am a seventh-rank sub-captain!”

Di Yelei sternly berated, his arrogant and untamed face full of ferocity.

“Until the judgment of the household department official, the Imperial Censor, and the Imperial Censorate have passed and no crime is confirmed, I’d like to see who dares to touch me!”

With a flick of his hand, he shook off the governmental office’s runner who was about to take action and walked right up to County Magistrate Su in just two strides.

“Damn it! Hurry, hurry up, go get him, grab him!”

County Magistrate Su was furious, continuously pounding the wooden block, causing the entire courtroom to resound with sharp noises!

It wasn’t that he wasn’t clear about Di Yelei’s combat power!

It was precisely because he knew that he was even more worried.

“County Magistrate Su! In order to frame and persecute the loyal, to plot against the imperial court’s appointed officials, you have even personally killed your own niece! The morality of the world has declined, do not think that you can cover up this bright sky!”

Di Yelei’s words instantly stunned the surrounding office’s runners!

Most of them had worked with County Magistrate Su for so long, and they naturally knew what sort of person he was.

Moreover, they had witnessed Di Yelei’s formidable power, which was obvious to all.

At this moment, being accused in the court, everyone hesitated and stayed in place, not daring to rush forward.

The magistrate was furious!

“Catch him! Beat him! Beat him hard, beat him to death for me!”

His anger caused him to even forget to say “I the Official” as he just wanted to directly shut Di Yelei’s mouth.

On the other hand, Xin Quan, who would normally sit quietly in a corner, was now sitting beside the shivering case book, coldly watching everything in the court room.

A suspicion flashed in his eyes.

It’s not right! No one is trying to save him, how strange!

“County Magistrate Su, Xin Quan! You two conspired together and tried to pin crimes on me without the trial of the three masters. I tell you, heaven is watching, and your days are numbered!”

He shook the iron chains in his hand, making a clattering noise, and stepped closer and closer to County Magistrate Su’s location.

The office’s runners, who had suffered at Di Yelei’s hands before, fled even faster, leaving County Magistrate Su exposed in front of him.

County Magistrate Su was immediately shocked and couldn’t help but retreat.

“Quick, quick, stop him, stop him! Don’t come any closer, you scoundrels! Are you guys here just to eat your fill? Hurry up and catch him for me!”

Only then did the governmental office’s runners slowly step forward, dodging and hesitating, pushing and shoving one another, none daring to confront Di Yelei directly.

They can’t be blamed, it was just that they had been terrified by Di Yelei in the past!
