Chapter 1206 Corrupt Official, May You Die a Terrible Death!
"Bah! Who cares about your tael of silver! You're robbing me!"
"Waaaaah... My little Cao'er was snatched away in the street! We didn't take a single penny from her! You corrupt official! You abducted a woman! You deserve to die a horrible death!"
"You corrupt official, may you die a horrible death!"
The angry crowd nearly drowned Judge Li Tong with their spittle.
The villagers searched frantically among the women, but finding no trace of their daughters, they collapsed to the ground and wept bitterly.
"My son! My poor Qiao'er! Where are you? Your mother has come to take you home!"
"Oh God! My little Fen is really gone? Really gone? I can't believe it! Little Fen! Little Fen! Come out, Grandma will take you home, come out! Waaah..."
"Grandpa, where's my mom? Didn't you say she was here? I want my mom! I want my mom, waaaaah..."
"You damned, corrupt official! Where is my daughter-in-law? Where have you hidden her? Hand her over right now!"
At this moment, some yamen runners carried out the skeletons and several barely identifiable corpses they had found in the dry well, lotus pond, dark room, and under the trees in the mansion.
Another corpse was clearly dead not long ago. It was thinly dressed, with a conspicuous red mark around its neck, and its body and face were covered with shocking whip marks. The flesh was torn up, and there was hardly a piece of good flesh left on its body.
Immediately, even more sorrowful sounds rang out.
Those who couldn't find their relatives among the women rushed frantically to the corpses, desperately trying to identify their loved ones.
One of them was the woman who had called out to Qiao'er earlier. She threw herself onto the corpse, her withered hands gently stroking the corpse's already swollen cheeks, her hoarse voice trembling:
"Qiao'er? Qiao'er! My Qiao'er... I've finally found you... Come home with me... I'll take you home... I'll take you home... We're not afraid... I'll take you home right now..."
After crying for a while, the woman wiped away her tears haphazardly and reached out to help her daughter up.
Unfortunately, the body was too heavy and the woman was too thin; she tried several times but could not stand up.
Mo Beihan waved his hand, and several constables stepped forward to help lift the woman's corpse, intending to take her home.
Mo Beihan waved his hand again:
"Tie up Judge Li with ropes and drag him outside the Meridian Gate to be beheaded!"
Judge Li stared wide-eyed in disbelief:
"No! How dare you? I am an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you treat me like this?"
Mo Beihan took out the imperial edict:
"The imperial edict is here! I, the King, have full authority to handle matters in Laiyang Prefecture and may appoint and dismiss officials at any level! You deserve to die a thousand deaths; sparing you from death by a thousand cuts is already a favor!"
Judge Li struggled:
"No! My brother-in-law's elder brother is Minister Chen! I have connections in the court, you can't kill me!"
Mo Beihan sneered. Mu Er had already had someone find a rope to tie up Judge Li hand and foot, and then had him dragged away with a long rope.
Mu Er even found a smelly rag and tried to stuff it into Li Tongpan's mouth.
Qiao Ran stopped her:
"No need to stuff it in."
The angry crowd will surely rush up and beat this vicious official, and the official's screams will slightly soothe the people's hearts.
Seeing that Judge Li was still shouting loudly, Qiao Ran flicked her finger, and a small pill fell into his open mouth.
Instantly, a piercing pain spread throughout my body, as if every muscle and every bone was aching.
"Ah! Ahhhhh..."
A piercing scream echoed in the sky.
