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.
