Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Transfer to the Dali Temple

As Sun Junyan spoke, an expression of displeasure immediately crossed the magistrate’s face. “Master Sun, refrain from voicing your speculative guesses. I have always been fair in my judgments.”

“Indeed your mother, the Sun family, has oppressed Qiao Xiaomai’s family for over a decade, forcing Qiao Xiaomai’s mother to leave their hometown. Now that she’s finally returned, the Sun family started provoking and insulting her again. If this continues to be tolerated, are they even deserving of being family?”

“Moreover, when Qiao Xiaomai went to argue with them, it was your mother who started the insults. With resentment old and new, wouldn’t it have been reasonable for him to retaliate in his fit of anger? He is a grown man. When someone insults his mother in front of him, do you expect him to merely stand by and watch?”

“You only consider your own grievances. Have you ever thought about the harm you’ve done in the past?”

The one who initiates the trouble is usually the one at fault. All this trouble was caused by the Sun family. Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Scholar retaliated only in defense of their mother. This is justified.

By the end of the magistrate’s speech, there was a tone of reprimand in his voice.

Having troublemakers like the Sun family in his jurisdiction was a real nuisance.

Seeing this, Cen Hong’s expression became solemn. “Your Honour, cases ought to be judged according to the Daqi Laws.”

In his heart, he truly hoped that the magistrate would show partiality to Qiao Xiaomai. But he had to speak what was appropriate in public.

Upon hearing this, the magistrate snorted, “Aside from the laws, there are principles of reason. By both principle and reason, it was the Sun family who instigated the original conflict. Qiao Xiaomai and Scholar Tong merely retaliated in defense of his mother.”

“Your Honour, this isn’t retaliation, this is malicious revenge! Especially Scholar Tong, who, with a single move, disfigured Master Sun. He intended to destroy his future! A scholar’s future was so easily ruined without suffering any consequence.”

Cen Hong paused, then said meaningfully, “Your Honour, in your heart, is the mother, who ran away with a wild man, more important than a scholar with a promising future?”

Upon hearing this, the magistrate laughed, “Captain Cen, it seems that if I don’t punish Qiao Xiaomai and Scholar Tong today, you will not be convinced.”

“Your Honour, if you do not judge according to the Daqi Laws, how can I be convinced?” Cen Hong countered.

“Fine, since I speak of reason while you speak of law, I shall transfer this case to the Capital Department of Justice. Let them judge, Captain Cen, does this satisfy you?” the magistrate announced.

Cen Hong, upon hearing these words bowed to the magistrate, “Your Honour’s decision, I fully support both verbally and genuinely.”

“Then I shall now report the details of this matter to the Department of Justice. Captain Cen, you may watch from the side to ensure that I don’t deliberately leave out any details.” Disdainfully, he called for the court to adjourn with a strike of his gavel. “Adjourn the court!”

Upon hearing these words, Cen Hong gave a hollow response, but he followed the magistrate to the back hall.

Of course he had to follow along.

Because he does not trust the magistrate.

The situation is developing just as he planned, Cen Hong glanced at Sun Junyan contentedly.

The magistrate seems to be favouring Qiao Xiaomai. Once the verdict for this case is decided, Yang Wang can finally impeach the magistrate.

Then, it would be easy for Sun Junyan to take his place.

Previously, Yang Ye used the Daqi Laws to refute him and managed to take ten thousand tael away from him. Now, he’ll see how Yang Ye will use the Daqi Laws to defend Qiao Xiaomai, even when the latter’s assault is obvious.

If he dares not to stand by the law, Yang Wang will definitely capitalize on this matter.

This matter must be handled in accordance with the Daqi Laws!
