Chapter 130 The Death of the Delicate Woman (2/2)
He looked at the lake. Yan Xiaopeng had already left by ship. He sighed again.
He turned his head and saw Zhang Erlin still watching him. He snorted and said, ”Well, since you want to know, I can tell you the truth. Your wife has been raped by my master. If not, how can I let you go.”
Zhang Erlin was very angry and wanted to find troubles of Living Yama. However, that bully had left by ship. Where should he look for him? Besides, he was looking for death to talk with that fierce bully.
Li Tietou stared at him. ”Find a doctor for your wife since she gets badly hurt. Why are you still finding trouble here?”
Zhang Erlin suddenly woke up and hurriedly picked up Mrs. Zhou, running to the village.
Li Tietou looked at the silver coins in his hand and said with a smile, ”Brother, we have money to drink today.”
Chen Dahu was also full of smiles, looking at Zhang Erlin's back and wearing a proud expression.
Li Tietou sighed. ”Our master is really lucky!”
Chen Dahu also lamented, ”Yes, our master means what he said and does whatever he wants. We can't compare with him.”
Zhang Erlin took his wife to the doctor tiredly.
The doctor saw Mrs. Zhou getting hurt so badly and took action at once. He touched her veins and tested her breath under her nose. He could not but shake his head.
He looked at Zhang Erlin and sighed. ”Your wife is no longer alive. Go back and prepare her a funeral. Such a good person. How can this happen? Ah...”
This was like a bolt from the blue sky, which completely shocked Zhang Erlin. He was extremely terrified and sorrowful, sitting down on the ground. He was stunned and burst into tears. He was out of consciousness when encountering such a huge attack. Heaven and earth would not help him.
It was noon. The sky was full of dark clouds. The wind was roaring lime the raging horses. ”Crack...” The thunder was continuous and rains poured down. In an instant, heaven and earth disappeared. Everything was hard to see...
His wife who had been with him for many years suddenly passed away, which seemed that his family had fallen down. Zhang Erlin did not know how to live up in the future. How could he support this family alone?
He tore down all days and felt sorrowful and yearning. He was suffering from pain and despair...
He could not bear this anger and went to the teacher Mr. Wang to help him write a plaint. He needed to go to the government to accuse Yan Xiaopeng.
Mr. Wang shook his head and sighed. He tried to persuade him that he should endure this for his children. For this generation, one would be strong if he had money. He could not win the bully.
Besides, Yan Xiaopeng colluded the government. The officers in government had the same purposes with him. Zhang Erlin should not provoke them. Perhaps, he would be killed.
What if he was in danger? What should the three little kids do in the future?
Endure it. Poor people had no power and wealth, neither reliance. They could only endure it. What should they do?
Zhang Erlin felt grief and anger. He could not endure it or allow his beloved wife to die with grief. He could not care about anything with his anger. He was bent on revenge for Mrs. Zhou and hoped that Living Yama could be captured. He pleaded Mr. Wang to write a plaint for him.
Mr. Wang was very sympathetic to Zhang Erlin. He was also saddened by Mrs. Zhou's death. He thought of Yan Xiaopeng and also hated him deeply. However, he dared not offend the vicious man.
When he found that Zhang Erlin did not listen to his persuasion and would sue Yan Xiaopeng even if he would die, he felt somewhat helpless. He had no way to persuade him, but could not refuse his demand, so he had to agree.
Mr. Wang had some scruples and repeatedly advised Zhang Erlin that he could not tell anyone who had written this plaint.
Zhang Erlin made a bow to thank him, ”Sir, be at ease. You have a benefit for me. I will not bring you trouble.”
Mr. Wang wrote it in his left hand. He was thinking while writing. He was at a slow speed because he did not get used to writing in the left hand.
Zhang Erlin got the plaint and kowtowed him for appreciation. He had arranged his kids in his neighbor Li Gousheng's home. Then, he went straight to the county.
In the lobby of the county, when the judge's gavel fell down, the soldiers on both sides called ”Court starts, be quiet”, which made people feel chilled.
The officer shouted and asked, ”Who is over there? Take him in.”
The followers answered and took Zhang Erlin to the lobby.
The officer saw him and asked, ”Who are you going to sue? Do you have a plaint?”
”I have plaint.” Zhang Erlin hurriedly took it out.
The soldier took the plaint and handed it over.
When the officer took the plaint and read it, he was stunned. He raised his head to look at Zhang Erlin and shook his head gently.
The handwriting on the paper was neat and no tip of a writing brush. It could easily tell that it was written by a person with lower education. The sentences were normal without any literary, but it was very fluent. The cause and result were clear, showing out a chilling intent out of the plain.
He shook his head and said, ”You will sue Yan Xiaopeng? He has a group of women in his mansion, so how can he rape a woman in the village. It's nonsense!”
Zhang Erlin immediately answered, ”My Lord, I tell the truth. My wife has been forced to death by Yan Xiaopeng. His servants Li Tietou and Chen Dahu are also there. They know this issue. Please, figure it out.”
The officer clapped his judge's gavel and shouted, ”Be quiet and don't say something nonsense. Master Yan is a gentleman in our county, so how can he do such a shameless thing? You contempt a good man, so I should judge your crime. I know you are just a villager and know little of the rules. It is the first time for you to commit a crime. I will let go of you. Go out, now.”
The soldiers on both sides issued a stalwart and the sticks in their hands hit the ground, making the majestic place even more terrible.
Although the county lobby was very scary, Zhang Erlin had no fear. He was still shouting for grievance and pleading the officer to host the justice and to punish the criminal.
