Chapter 522: Yin's plea for injustice and the rogue's quibbling
In the lobby of Shuntian Mansion.
Yin was ordered by the prefect Zheng Tong to be slapped in the face twenty times.
The sound of "pa pa pa" rang in the ears of everyone in and out of the hall.
Along with the "slap, slap, slap" sound of slapping was Yin's whimpering and indistinct scream.
Bright red blood flowed out from the corners of Yin's mouth and dripped onto her body and the ground in front of her.
Yin's face, which was already swollen and purple, swelled even further, even to the point of being shiny red and purple.
As the slaps came from left and right, Yin's head was forced to sway left and right...
At this moment, Yin's mind was in a state of chaos...
All I could see were flashing stars in front of my eyes, and I almost fainted.
But the pain from the wooden board hitting her face again and again was just enough to keep her a little bit awake.
When the slapping punishment began, everyone in the hall began to count quietly...
Finally, I counted from one to twenty.
The bailiff in charge of the execution bowed to the prefect Zheng Tong, handed over the order, and then withdrew.
Yin's face was not just swollen now, it was torn and bleeding!
Yin subconsciously touched her face with trembling hands...
As soon as the fingers touched his face, they were instantly moved away as if they had touched red-hot charcoal.
My face hurts and feels numb.
Looking at the fingertips that had touched my face...they were stained with blood.
Yin tried her best to open her eyes which were swollen into two slits, and stared at her fingers...
Blood red is blinding...
Yin didn't dare to think about what her face looked like after being beaten.
My own face... my face...
However, the Yin family is ruthless in their own way!
A truly ruthless person is also ruthless to himself!
If she wasn't cruel, she wouldn't have done such evil things as killing people and robbing their money.
Isn't it just the face?
She didn't want it anymore!
If she had any dignity, she wouldn't have been the wife of a marquis for so many years;
I can no longer enjoy the wealth and glory I have enjoyed for so many years!
At this time, Yin tried hard to keep herself awake.
Although she still didn't know what the situation was.
But she could see that this hurdle... might not be easy to pass!
Judging from what Prefect Zheng Tong said, that useless wretch Leng Xian must have said something he shouldn't have said in front of the Emperor and all the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace!
So, after bringing him to the lobby of Shuntian Prefecture, the prefect Zheng Tong didn't even bother asking any more questions and just let Leng Xian sign directly!
No matter what Leng Xian said in the Golden Palace, you can't sign it!
Once the signature is signed, everything is settled, and you will have to bear the consequences no matter how serious the crime is!
no!no!
Yin was unwilling to give up.
She endured the pain on her face and only eased it slightly before continuing to argue with Zheng Tong in the classroom, even though her words were unclear because she had just been slapped in the face.
"Your Excellency, my family and I have been wronged!
Injustice!
My Lord, I think... the reason why I, the Marquis of Qinxing, was brought to Shuntian Prefecture was just to... recover the dowry of my late wife, Fu Baozhen;
My Lord, you know that the Marquis Qinxing's mansion was robbed and everything was stolen;
You know very well that all the property in the house is lost, even the dowry of the late wife is among them!
If the government really wanted to recover the late wife’s dowry, shouldn’t it have done everything it could to track down the thief?
Why didn't Shuntian Prefecture track down the thieves, but instead made things so difficult for us, the owner of the stolen goods, the Qinxing Marquis Mansion?"
Yin took a breath, turned her head and looked at the people from the Anguo Mansion who were sitting nearby. After a moment's hesitation, she continued, "Sir Zheng, when I went up to the hall, I saw the nobles from the Anguo Mansion sitting in the hall.
Because the late wife unfortunately passed away at an early age, the Marquis married a young woman and had a pair of children. It is well known that the Anguo Mansion has always disliked our Qinxing Marquis Mansion.
Now, the Qinxing Marquis's mansion had just been robbed, and the livelihood of the mansion was already in trouble;
Even for the sake of Miss Leng Rongyue, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion should not make trouble at this time and make things difficult for our Marquis of Qinxing's Mansion!
Your Excellency the Prefect...
Instead of trying your best to catch the thieves and recover the property of the Marquis's mansion, you threw all of us in the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion into jail at this time. Isn't that wrong?
I know that the eldest daughter has the Emperor's imperial decree granting her marriage;
She is the future Princess Consort of Prince Yu.
And the dowry of the late lady undoubtedly belongs to the eldest daughter.
The prefect's actions today...
From what I think... it's nothing more than wanting to recover the dowry of the late wife for the eldest daughter Leng Rongyue;
Or maybe he believed some false rumors and wanted to vent his anger on behalf of the eldest lady and the Anguo Mansion.
These, I can understand.
But as the government, you can't make groundless accusations against my family, throw us into jail, and impose heavy penalties on me and the Marquis!
The young woman admitted that the finances of the Marquis' Mansion had been somewhat tight over the years.
In order to make a living, he did use up some of his late wife's dowry.
But sir, think about it, even if we don’t talk about the little lady, just talk about the other people in the mansion…
If the late madam were still alive, wouldn't it be right for her to take out money to support and honor the old lady?
As the husband of the late lady, even if the Marquis misappropriated some of his wife's property...it wouldn't be considered a big sin, right?
