Chapter 105 Black and White Unclear
Zhao Fengmin's face was flushed. She licked her tongue lightly, then smiled and nodded at Wang Wenzhou.
Wang Wenzhou looked up, surveyed the hall, pointed at the "robbers" kneeling on the ground, and earnestly addressed the onlookers: "They are criminals, and they did kidnap many people today. Fortunately, Heaven has a benevolent heart, and they did not commit any acts of murder. They are also people born of mothers and fathers, and although they made a mistake, they cannot be condemned outright."
The onlookers, surnamed Bai, quieted down and listened to Wang Wenzhou speak.
Wang Wenzhou continued, "The reason I gave them a lenient sentence is firstly because the consequences they caused were not serious. The most important reason is that I wanted to give them a chance to start anew."
Wang Wenzhou pointed at Li Feiqing and asked, "Li Feiqing, I ask you, how old are you this year?"
"Your Excellency, I am 19 years old this year!" Li Feiqing replied.
"Did you hear that?" Wang Wenzhou said painfully, "Nineteen years old, he's just a child who hasn't even reached adulthood yet. Everyone has been young, and when young, it's easy to make mistakes due to impulsiveness. Madam, let me ask you, if he were your son, would you beat him to death because of what happened today?"
The middle-aged woman who had just rushed in and hit Li Feiqing thought for a while and then said, "Wang Qingtian, you're right. I acted impulsively just now."
"Wang Wenzhou, how dare you bend the law for personal gain?" Wang Wenhua pointed at Wang Wenzhou and shouted.
Wang Wenzhou smiled and said, "Brother! What are you saying! You are my elder brother and also a victim. If I were to bend the law for personal gain, I would definitely pin a capital offense on them and kill them. But it is precisely because you are involved in the case that I want to consider reducing their charges."
“Brother! Let me give you another piece of advice: be lenient when you can. They are still children. Please be magnanimous and let them go!” Wang Wenzhou bowed to Wang Wenhua in a serious manner.
The people praised it.
"Wang Qingtian is a magnanimous man; a prime minister's belly can hold a boat!"
"Wang Qingtian is compassionate and merciful, a reincarnation of Guanyin!"
"Brother Wang Qingtian, please spare these children!"
"Yes, Wang Wenhua, you are also a scholar. Look at your brother's magnanimity! You mustn't hold a grudge!"
"Pfft..." Wang Wenhua was so angry he almost vomited blood! That silly Xiao Wu, what a cunning trick! What eloquence! He can turn black into white! Silly Xiao Wu, silly Xiao Wu, how can you be so shameless! Children? They're not children at all! You clearly sent them to beat us up!
Wang Wenhua had no words to express his suffering. He looked back at the four great talents, who also wore helpless, bitter smiles.
Wang Wenzhou bowed to the people and asked, "I want to give these children a chance to start anew. I ask you, are you willing to give them a chance? If you say yes, I will bend the law for personal gain and let them go! If you are not willing, I will definitely punish them severely!"
"willing!"
"They are just children! Lord Wang is merciful!"
"Wang Qingtian is truly a second father to the people!"
The people praised it.
Li Hechen lowered his head and whispered, "Li Feiqing, are you stupid?! Quickly kowtow and thank Lord Wang!"
"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your mercy!" Li Feiqing and the others kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude.
"Alright! You don't need to thank me! You should thank the people of Hanshan for their kindness! It was the people who let you off the hook! I'd like to give you a few words of advice: study hard and reform yourselves well in the labor camp! In the future, be like me, live an upright life! Be a useful person to society!" Wang Wenzhou said in a serious tone.
"Thank you, elders of Hanshan!" Li Feiqing and the others quickly turned around and kowtowed to the people in gratitude.
The old woman who had just beaten and scolded Li Feiqing wiped away her tears and rushed into the lobby. She bent down to help Li Feiqing up and said earnestly, "It was my fault for hitting you! Don't hold a grudge against me. When you get to the labor camp, you must reform yourself properly. You are still young, and you have a long road ahead of you. You must never do anything wrong again!"
"Auntie! You just look like my deceased mother!" Li Feiqing hugged the old woman and shed tears of regret.
Wang Wenzhou was very pleased. Li Feiqing was a really good young man, and he would definitely nurture him well in the future! His acting skills, even in later generations, would be Oscar-worthy!
"Alright! Men, escort them to the labor camp!" Wang Wenzhou ordered.
Li Hechen clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Li Hechen, accompanied by his constables, escorted Li Feiqing and the others to a labor camp.
"Bang!" Wang Wenzhou slammed his gavel and shouted, "Court adjourned!"
"mighty……"
The case was concluded, the prisoners were all escorted away, the onlookers surnamed Bai dispersed, and the gates of the yamen were closed.
The bailiffs, including Old Wu, were puzzled as to why the magistrate was still sitting behind his desk, refusing to leave.
Old Wu looked at the magistrate sitting behind the desk with suspicion. The magistrate's face was full of expressions, sometimes a slight smile, sometimes a furrowed brow. What's wrong with the magistrate today? How can we, the yamen runners, just pack up and leave before you do?
"What are you still doing here? Let's go!" Wang Wenzhou waved his hand at the yamen runners below the court.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fengmin immediately stopped and tried to crawl under the table.
Wang Wenzhou pressed Zhao Fengmin's head down and said softly, "Minmin, I didn't tell you, you can continue!"
……
Ma Deyun looked at Wang Wenhua and said with a wry smile, "Brother Wang, I really can't swallow this!"
"That idiot Wang is going too far! He's clearly looking for trouble and wants to beat us up!" Yang Shan said angrily.
"Sigh..." Wang Wenhua sighed and said with a mournful tone, "Silly Xiao Wu's actions today were truly brilliant. He managed to turn black into white, and we can only suffer in silence."
Lin Qing suddenly spoke up, "Brother Wang, Wang the Fool is ruthless, but you can't blame us for being unjust! If Wang the Fool hires people to beat us up, why don't we hire people to beat him up?"
"Hmm?" Ma Deyun nodded and said, "Brother Lin's suggestion is good! Only in this way can I vent this pent-up anger in my chest!"
“That’s what we’ll do!” Yang Shan nodded fiercely and said, “We’ll also spend some money to find a few hooligans to beat up Wang Shazi.”
Wang Wenhua pondered for a moment; he, too, couldn't swallow this insult! Coming from the newly established Marquisate and holding the rank of fifth grade, this was the first time in his life he'd been beaten like this. Although Lin Qing's idea was somewhat underhanded, if Sha Xiaowu could do it, why couldn't they?
“Alright! Brother Lin, I’ll leave this matter to you! Just take whatever money is needed from our public account!” Wang Wenhua said to Lin Qing.
Lin Qing touched his swollen face and said magnanimously, "Brother Wang, we have many skilled fighters in Lin Family Village. Beating up that idiot Wang is nothing. At worst, we can send him to a labor camp for a while. It won't cost us any money!"
"Brother Lin is so righteous!" Ma Deyun patted Lin Qing on the shoulder.
