Chapter 1564: Heavenly Mansion Office

Editor: Henyee Translations

Young Master Wen grinned with a sinister delight, his gaze akin to a poisonous snake. “Go, hahaha! Go!”

The half-grown boy leaned in and whispered to a ten-year-old boy, “Xiao Er, go back and find Uncle Zheng. Go quickly.”

Xiao Er, tears welling up in his eyes, pursed his lips and nodded vigorously before darting away.

Observing the situation, Qiao Xuan instructed Lixia to return and fetch Shao Yunduan.

The influence of Young Master Wen became evident upon their arrival at the Heavenly Mansion yamen. The prefectural magistrate sat composed in his official uniform within the Bright Mirror Hall, initiating the trial promptly.

“Bring in the criminals!”

The Shocking Hall Wood resounded heavily on the ground, and the prefectural magistrate asserted with authority. The bailiffs on either side brandished fire and water sticks in rhythmic strikes, creating a compelling atmosphere. For someone with a weak constitution or a modest background, the scene could induce fear and trembling.

Frowning slightly, Qiao Xuan comforted the trembling shoulders of the two girls. “Don’t be afraid!”

The prefectural magistrate sternly demanded, “Who are you? Kneel down!”

Proudly, Young Master Wen addressed Lord Qin, claiming, “Lord Qin, these individuals obstructed the road and attempted robbery! They deliberately caused a disturbance, shocking my carriage—”

“You’re spouting nonsense! It’s all—”

“Let him speak.” Before Lord Qin could intervene, Qiao Xuan halted the young man named Liu Fu. “Don’t utter a word.”

Enduring his anger, Liu Fu nodded stiffly and turned his face away. Resentment filled his heart, directed at those who preyed on the common people and bullied the weak. He despised the injustice of this world and the distorted truth within the court.

Lord Qin snorted heavily and cast a cold glare at Liu Fu. “Dare to disrupt the court again, and he’ll receive another 20 strokes!”

Young Master Wen sneered repeatedly, feeling self-satisfied. Inwardly, he mused, Is this all they’ve got? They’ll suffer more later!

His gaze shifted toward the crowd outside the court, adding to his delight. The more spectators, the better! It would enhance the satisfaction of revenge.

“These youngsters rushed out, startling my horse and causing my entire carriage of goods to topple and be ruined. I was nearly thrown off the carriage! They’re simply attempting murder for money…”

According to Young Master Wen’s account, the narrative unfolded as follows: Qiao Xuan and Liu Fu conspired to harm him, resulting in the destruction of his goods and carriage. Engaging in a heated argument, Qiao Xuan, accompanied by her entourage, accused him of bullying the weak and ordered her servants to assault him.

Though he couldn’t identify the origin of Qiao Xuan’s servant, the individual displayed remarkable strength, leaving his own two servants severely injured and vomiting blood. Requesting immediate attention for the injured servants, their pallid faces and labored breathing attested to the severity of their condition.

“Sir, I’m truly bewildered. How have I offended this lady to become the target of such a vile and treacherous plot? If not for my good fortune, I might have perished within days! The situation was truly terrifying!”

“This deranged, treacherous individual must face severe consequences. Failure to do so will undoubtedly unleash havoc on the people and imperil the region in the future! I implore you to conduct a thorough investigation!”
