"How audacious! How dare you lie to save Lu Shao, and you even went so far as to intercept my carriage. Someone, pull her down and throw her aside!" The people in the carriage were furious. They ordered the guards to follow behind the carriage.
The words of the people in the carriage startled the old woman. She hurriedly pleaded, "My lord, everything that this woman has said is the truth. Please give my son justice, my lord, my lord."
A few guards immediately went forward and dragged the old woman up, tossing her to one side of the street.
ZhiNing was suddenly extremely angry. She had previously tried to argue with the people in the carriage, but the guard who had been standing by her side had grabbed her by the arm, "Constable Chen, please don't. Lord Constable is about to arrive. Let's hurry back."
The old woman was thrown to the side of the street by the guards and fell heavily onto the ground. However, she didn't care about the pain in her body as she crawled up from the ground and walked in front of the carriage to block it.
"Someone, drag her away. I don't want to see her again." The voice of the people in the carriage was filled with rage.
"Yes, milord." The guards immediately threw the old woman to the ground again. She stood up again and they kicked her. The old woman fainted.
"Stop." ZhiNing shook off the constable's hand that was tugging on her arm and stood in front of the old lady, angrily looking at the few guards who had beaten up the old lady. "As guards, your duty is to punish evil and remove adultery to protect the safety of adults, but what about you? But to use it against an unarmed old lady! "
"Impudent, I am punishing a troublesome citizen, and you dare to stop me?" Someone, take him down! " The people in the carriage angrily ordered the guards.
"Milord, please calm your anger. This constable is a newcomer, and he still doesn't know you. That's why he's offending you, milord. For the sake of the Chief Patrol Officer, please let Chen Zhi go." Just now, she had pulled ZhiNing's constable in front of her, looking at the carriage with a fawning look on her face.
ZhiNing wanted to push him away and argue with the official in the carriage, but the constable standing in front of her secretly tugged at the corner of her clothes, shaking his head at her, signalling her not to go.
Helpless, ZhiNing stood on the spot fuming, not even sparing a glance at the carriage.
The person inside the carriage was silent, as if considering something. After a long time, he slowly spoke, "Since it's a first offense and he's also one of the patron's subordinates, I'll give the patron some face. However, this will not happen again! "
"Thank you, my lord, thank you."
The few guards glanced at ZhiNing in disdain, then walked towards the back of the carriage.
"Let's go." The person inside the carriage ordered the attendant who was driving the carriage.
ZhiNing coldly looked inside the carriage, as if she could see through the curtain of the carriage to the person inside. Her hands clenched into fists. It was only after the carriage had left for quite some time that ZhiNing finally retracted her gaze.
She squatted down and helped the old woman up to sit on the ground. Then, she called out to the constable who was with her, "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you to help this old lady up." The constable quickly called Wang Chen as her master's father, who was also under his command. Normally, he treated her very well, but she had always called him Uncle Wang.
"Chen Zhi, what are you trying to do?" Wang Chen asked, looking at Zhining with a puzzled look.
"I want to take her to see the Lord Patrol Officer. I want him to avenge her." Lu Zhao's case had been solved by the President of the Board of Justice himself. The Board of Justice's position was the greatest one in ancient times. Who would dare to offend a Board of Justice over a case with conclusive evidence? The only solution was to find an official larger than the Board of Justice's president to reopen the case.
"No." Wang Chen did not even think about it and stopped Zhining, "How could the Chief Patrol Officer change the case for someone with solid evidence? Not to mention that the case against Lu Zhao was tried by the president of the Board of Justice himself. The president of the Board of Justice had been in the trial for many years, and his case was as swift as a god's, never wrongly sentencing anyone. "
"But what if Lu Zhao is innocent?" Then we will indirectly kill an innocent person. Uncle Wang, I beg of you. " The old woman was very heavy, and she was unconscious. She couldn't carry her by herself.
