Capítulo 1638: Chapter 1638: Shocking to the Eye
Xuexue glanced coldly at Old Lady Mo: “Great Master, have you figured out the situation yet?”
“Under no circumstances should you treat anyone like this—the harm to another’s body is a cri. I, as the Old Master, have the authority to deal with you all.”
With Old Lady Mo’s shiny bald head and the shocking scar on top, the county magistrate’s sense of justice burst forth as he reprimanded Madam Xie and Xuexue.
To treat an elderly person like this? The county magistrate was now one hundred percent certain these two were not good people.
The county magistrate’s deanor was as if the case didn’t even need to be tried, confident that they were murderers. Xuexue sneered repeatedly, thinking how such a person was fit to be a county magistrate, no wonder the imperial court of Moli Country was increasingly corrupt.
“County magistrate, you’re wrong. We didn’t harm her body; she did it to herself. What does that have to do with ?”
“Who would be so foolish as to harm themselves deliberately?”
“Haven’t you heard of sothing called an accident?”
“Accident?” The county magistrate glanced at Xuexue, then at Old Lady Mo, and asked, “What exactly happened?”
Xuexue remained noncommittal, coldly saying: “Since the county magistrate believes this old lady, you might as well ask her yourself!”
Justice is in people’s hearts, Xuexue believed that even if the old lady lied, the villagers would clear things up for her.
“You…!” This woman’s appearance seed delicate and soft, her features like a Heavenly Immortal, yet her mouth was sharp-tongued, the county magistrate found it hard to handle.
Old Lady Mo didn’t care about all that, imdiately seizing the chance to answer: “What accident, it was clearly that witch Madam Xie who pushed into the boiling water, pressing my head down hard, how vicious! Great Master, you must stand up for this old woman, waaaah!”
The villagers nearby heard this, and seeing Old Lady Mo turning black into white, so couldn’t bear it, and began criticizing…
“Old Lady Mo, you’re so old, almost buried up to your neck in yellow earth, yet you’re still lying. Aren’t you afraid when you go to Lord Yama, you’ll be thrown into the oil pot?”
“Exactly, it’s clear you were greedy, trying to steal people’s duck but accidentally fell headfirst into the boiling water pot ant for the duck, ending up looking like this, yet claiming Aunt Xie pressed you into the boiling water. Saying this, doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
Everyone pointed at Old Lady Mo, discussing animatedly.
The county magistrate’s expression shifted unpredictably as well, now feeling sowhat regretful; things didn’t seem to be as Old Lady Mo said, perhaps there was more to it?
However, in the hearts of the common people, he was the supre parental official, and there could be no mistake. Even if there was one, he could only persist in the error, stubbornly supporting Old Lady Mo till the end, the county magistrate resolved in his heart.
Before the county magistrate, these people were tearing her down? Old Lady Mo beca angry and embarrassed, having been domineering in the Mo family. Her anger flared up, and she forgot her act of playing pitiful. She put her hands on her hips and began cursing the villagers: “You gossipy won, what business do our family’s private matters have with you!”
“Old Lady Mo, matters should be reasonable. Being fierce is useless. Our villagers in Mo Family Village have always abided by the law, and as far as I know, have never done anything unlawful. You bring the county magistrate to our village, and claim Auntie Xie is a murderer, what exactly is your intention!” An old lady in the crowd was not afraid of Old Lady Mo throwing a fit.
“She killed my son, why can’t I accuse her? Just because of her status, my son died for nothing? Is there no more imperial law?”
