I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

169 Your Conscience Really Isn’t Worth Anything (1)

After Imperial Doctor Tian finished speaking, he looked at Mo Ruyue and sighed. “At that time, Madam Qin asked this old man to help find a suitable private teacher. It was this old man’s thoughtless consideration that made Madam Qin suffer such humiliation for no reason. No matter who wants to trap her, first talk to this old man about right and wrong!”

He was obviously furious. As he spoke, the muscles on his face trembled. Even his white beard and eyebrows trembled. Even his voice trembled.

“Imperial Doctor Tian, please calm down. Your tongue is in someone else’s mouth. Even if you want to sue, you won’t be able to do so, right? There’s no need to be so angry that you’ll harm your own body.”

In the end, the county magistrate still had to give Imperial Doctor Tian face, so he advised him with a few words. However, no matter how one listened to his words, there was a sense of gloating.

“You can’t sue him? Hmph, this old man really doesn’t believe this. Today, I’ll say it here. If this old man hears such rumors again in the future, I’ll catch one and sue one. I’ll keep my word and use my sleeve as proof!”

As he spoke, he took out a pair of scissors from his sleeve and cut off one of his sleeves with one hand.

This scene stunned everyone. No one had expected Imperial Doctor Tian to actually make such a fierce move. However, it could also be seen that this old man’s determination was really to count each and every one of them. Once he was caught, he would report it to the authorities.

When Mo Ruyue saw this scene, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved.

Although Imperial Doctor Tian had initially invited her out with a purpose in mind, after that, whether it was to help her find a suitable private tutor, or to speak up for her every time, or to cut off his sleeves to show his determination because of the rumors she was plagued with, he had indeed kept his promise.

“Elder Tian.”

She only mumbled once. Originally, he was also a part of her plan. The complaint had written about Madam Qin’s slander of Imperial Doctor Tian. However, now that she saw Imperial Doctor Tian’s actions, she suddenly did not want this old man to get involved.

Even if he had approached her with a purpose, it was to benefit more people. After all, the difference between a quack and a famous doctor was not just in name.

Magistrate Liu looked at this scene with cold eyes and felt nauseated in his heart.

This wasn’t the first time Imperial Doctor Tian had publicly expressed his support for Mo Ruyue, but this time, his attitude was more intense and firm than before. This was going to be troublesome.

In the future, if he wanted to use this method to deal with Mo Ruyue again, he would have to face Imperial Doctor Tian head-on. If he was not careful, he might get hold of something that could be used against him and bring up all the old scores. Then, it would be over.

“Since Elder Tian’s complaint is also to fight for justice for Madam Qin, then I will deal with the two cases together. However, on Madam Qin’s complaint, there is still a defendant in the Qin Village. If we summon them now, I’m afraid that by the time he is brought back, the sky will be completely dark.”

“In my opinion, why don’t we temporarily put this man in prison and deal with him after we call that Qin Shi over tomorrow. Madam Qin, Imperial Doctor Tian, what do you think?”

The county magistrate began to use the tactic of delaying the troops again. He would delay them for as long as possible. Perhaps he could come up with some countermeasures tonight. In short, he would not let Mo Ruyue have her way comfortably.

Mo Ruyue could read the county magistrate’s mind, but his current proposal was exactly what she wanted. Anyway, this case had no choice but to be investigated, and the people in the county were watching.

Therefore, she immediately nodded and said, “The old master’s proposal is not correct. I just don’t know if this man will be escorted away by his family if he is temporarily imprisoned. If that is the case, Where can I find him tomorrow?”

In her previous life, people who were temporarily detained could pay the bail. Mo Ruyue was still waiting to use this person to set an example for those people in the city who still wanted to spread rumors. How could she let him off so easily?

“This might be possible.”

Magistrate Liu was taken aback. He didn’t think that this woman would know so much.

He was really prepared to release this man secretly. When the time came, he would say that the man’s family had paid the insurance, and then let this man sneak out at night to lie low.

Even though he didn’t achieve his original goal, he had also caused trouble for Mo Ruyue, so he could just consider it as a success.

In the end, his plan was very good, but it was seen through by Mo Ruyue.

“If that’s the case, can we only judge his part today? I don’t care about the insurance compensation, I just want him to pay for his mouth.”

Hearing Mo Ruyue’s words, Magistrate Liu really couldn’t refuse. After all, it was still bright outside, and there was still time before the sun set. If there wasn’t enough time to handle this case, then some cases would take ten days to half a month.

When the man heard that there was no longer an interrogation today, he was very happy. Now, when he heard Mo Ruyue’s words, he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. He suddenly felt a chill from his chest to his back.

“Old Master, I’ve been wronged! This little one was also incited by others and did not have the intention to make things difficult for Lady Qin. My Lord is clear about the details and must give this little one justice!”

The man couldn’t take it anymore. He couldn’t care about anything else now. He had to protect himself first!

Therefore, he kneeled on the ground with a “plop” and started wailing at the magistrate.

The magistrate almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He was still trying to think of a solution, but this useless person had backstabbed him. Did he not want to die fast enough?

“Wang Luosheng, you should know that you can’t speak nonsense in court. Every word you say is evidence in court and must be recorded in the file. If you lie, I can punish you ten times the original punishment!”

The magistrate sternly warned.

At the same time, he was also very glad that when he sent people to contact this man, he did not leave any evidence to reveal his true identity. Otherwise, this man would have exposed him in order to get away with it.

“Old Master, this one did not lie! Yesterday, when I was drinking in the restaurant, I heard someone talking about this matter. You also know what kind of person Du Zhongheng is. Which student in the world doesn’t despise him?”

“This little one was angry, so I asked a few more questions. I didn’t expect that after I left the restaurant, that person followed me and said to me that today is the day of Madam Qin’s consultation. If I dare to reveal her ugly matter in public, he will give me two taels of silver!”

“Two taels of silver can make you lose your conscience? Your conscience is really worthless.”

Mo Ruyue coldly rebuked from the side. The man knew he was in the wrong, so he pretended not to hear her and just looked at the magistrate with eager eyes.

“Madam Qin scolded well, two taels of silver can make you lose your conscience, and you still expect this official to make the decision for you?”

Even though the county magistrate was gnashing his teeth in hatred, he still had to do what he had to do. Now, it wasn’t just Mo Ruyue who wanted Wang Luosheng to pay the price, even the county magistrate himself wanted to teach him a good lesson.

That mouth was like torn pants. His crotch was leaking air, and he had confessed everything before he was even tortured. He was really unlucky to have found him to do this.
