Chapter Seventy-One: Here, You Shall Be Judged

ore my eyes.>Lin Zhenglun sat at the head of the table, clinking glasses with a new friend he had recently met. He listened to the flattering words of those present and felt very pleased with himself....There is such a scene:

In the summer dawn, a fragile maid walked expressionlessly toward the well and jumped in.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

There was no emotion, let alone hesitation.

Even hatred and fear had been frozen by the pain.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She probably just wants to be free.

Xiao Cui's body was hauled up, lying coldly in the courtyard.

Hu Shaomen glanced at her: "This Xiao Cui, is she from our Qingniu Town"

Hu Guan shi said somewhat hesitantly, "It's not that. It's from..."

Hu Shaomeng waved his hand dismissively, "Get him out of here and bury him. Don't cause me any trouble."

Ge Heng's face relaxed.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"But," Jiang Wang spoke up, "the cause of death hasn't been determined. To bury her like this before that Can she rest in peace Won't the government authorities investigate"

“I can speak for the government. And it’s obviously suicide.” Hu Shaomeng patiently said, and shouted to Hu Guan: “What are you standing there for Call a few people to bury her.”

Hu Guan shi could only grit his teeth and shout, "Bring a few people to help!"

All the miners around stood still and silent.

They dared not defend themselves.

But silence is a voiceless attitude.

"But why would she commit suicide out of the blue" Jiang Wang made no attempt to hide his attitude: "You must know that forcing someone to suicide is also murder!"

Hu Shaomeng turned his head and stared at Jiang Wang: "I've noticed you have a lot of problems. As a newcomer, aren't you too oblivious to being an outsider"

It's not at all polite.

"That's all," Old Man Ge said in a sinister voice. "You're making such a fuss over a mere mortal committing suicide"

That's just how the world is.

Even with the efforts of many, it is impossible to bridge the chasm between extraordinary cultivators and ordinary people. Even the most basic right, such as life and death, is not guaranteed.

Just like Lady Song back then, she also jumped into a well. Before Jiang Wang went to borrow a sword from Zhu Weiwei, he could only threaten Lin Zhenglun with his sword and force him to pay for his crimes at most.

That had already been the tacitly accepted limit of social rules. As for Lin Zhengli, who caused this tragedy afterwards, and even the entire Lin family, there was no need to pay any further price.

It's not just that Lin Zhengli forced Lin Zhenglun, or indirectly led to Song's death. Even if he had killed Song at the time, the Lin family would have a thousand ways to get him off. As for Jiang Wang back then, it was impossible to get what she called justice.

That's just the way the world is.

Whether it's Hu Shaomeng or Ge Heng, they are all accustomed to it.

Zhang Hai and Xiang went forward, both silent.

"Xiao Cui didn't commit suicide, you drove her to death!" a voice gritted out.

Following the sound, she saw Xiao, small and frail like a blade of grass, standing at the gate. She was gripping the doorframe with all her might, her knuckles white from the effort.

She gritted her teeth, but her voice trembled.

Obviously, she was filled with fear, but at the same time, she was also full of hatred.

What consequences would arise from speaking now, she truly didn't know.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But she, longed to say something, to do something. Not just for Xiaocui, whose body was already cold, but also for herself, who had been so tormented.

"What nonsense are you talking about" Ge Heng suddenly took a step forward, as if to attack.

Jiang Wang stepped forward, blocking his path.

Turning back to Xiao Xiao, he said, "If you have something to say, just speak. There's no need to be afraid."

“Dugu An! What do you want to do Do you really want to be an enemy of this old man” Ge Heng was furious. He glanced at Hu Shaomeng, but Hu Shaomeng did not speak at this time.

As long as he doesn't make a move, Jiang Wang is too lazy to pay attention to his clamor.

He gave Xiao Xiao an encouraging look: "As long as it's the truth, just say it. In this world, there is no reason why you shouldn't speak up. There is even less reason why you shouldn't tell the truth!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“Little Cui had told me long ago that she couldn't live anymore. Ge Heng is an old pervert, tormenting her in different ways every day, beating her…” Xiao Xiao trembled uncontrollably, gritting her teeth and saying: “If I hadn’t met Duke Dugu, today, if I jumped down, it might have been me.”

Shuanzi's eyes were red and bloodshot: "Little girl!"

He fell to his knees before Hu Shaomeng with a thud, pounding his head repeatedly: "Young Master Hu! Please take charge, please take charge!"

Ge Heng could feel the anger in the miners' eyes surrounding him, no longer able to hide it. They looked at him as if they wanted to tear him apart.

He wasn't afraid of these untrained civilians, but he was worried that their presence would influence the other extraordinary cultivators present, especially Hu Shaomeng's decision.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Don't talk nonsense! You dare to slander me, an extraordinary cultivator!” He glared at XiaoXiao: “Do you know what this means You will drag your whole family down!”

However, the moment his words left his lips, a deathly silence descended upon the scene.

All were stunned.

Because XiaoXiao, in front of everyone, took off her clothes all at once.

Dressed only in a thin inner robe, that slender and fragile youthful body was exposed concretely to everyone.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Of course, that included the bruises on her arms, thighs, and all over her body, some blue and some purple.

Her little face was expressionless, but two lines of tears streamed down: "These are all your doing, do you remember These can prove I'm not lying, can't they If it's not enough, I can take off more."

As she spoke, she truly went to unrobe.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

But Jiang Wang had already grasped her hand.

"That's enough," Jiang Wang said.

He took off his outer garment and wrapped it around the small, frail body that was marred with tiny wounds.

Turning to look at Hu Shaomeng: "What do you say, Young Master Hu"

For a woman to be naked in public, what kind of humiliation is this

The greater the humiliation, the greater the courage.

No one could doubt her words any longer.

Hu Shaomeng's brows furrowed tightly: "Hand him over to the Jiacheng government office. Any of you take him there."

Ge Heng's unsightly expression relaxed again. As long as Hu Shaomeng wasn't planning to do it himself, there was still a lot of room for maneuver.

"I remember Young Master Hu just said that you could represent the government" Jiang Wang was almost unable to contain his anger, and said coldly: "Why are you shifting responsibility now"

"Du Gu!" Hu Shaomeng looked at Jiang Wang with a sinister expression: "I'll tolerate you this last time, but my tolerance has its limits. I don't care what kind of grudge you have with Ge Heng, get out of my mine and resolve it yourselves. If you want to use me as a weapon, think carefully about whether you can handle it. This sword isn't something you can wield!"

He, Hu Shao Meng, absolutely didn't believe that this greenhorn cultivator was acting out of any sense of justice. In his view, Du Gu An's relentless pursuit of Ge Heng stemmed from nothing but a long-held grudge, an opportunity to seek revenge.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He didn't want to get involved in these matters; Ge Heng wasn't a good person anyway. He just wanted the mine to calm down as soon as possible and close down smoothly.

These two can fight to their heart's content, but they have to do it outside. They need to leave the mine. Don't make too much noise and attract attention from Jiacheng, or it will jeopardize his plans.

Ge Heng also suppressed his anger and said, "Dugu An, you have an opinion of me. Why don't you come and escort me to Jiacheng Let us settle our grievances ourselves. Be sensible and don't bother Young Master Hu."

He had already made up his mind. After leaving the mine later, he would spare no expense and unleash all his power to kill this naive youngster.

...Stunned!

He just retaliated against me once, and now he wants to kill me!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang shook his head. He had completely understood these people's attitudes.

"Don't make it so complicated."

He let out a soft sigh, for the girl who died on a summer morning.

He took a step forward, standing right before Ge Heng: "I've decided to judge you here." mansion any longer would inevitably lead to friction...As for Tai Yin's hasty departure from Chu, Xiang Bei could probably guess the reasons.There are internal tensions within the Tai clan, and there...
