586 A Confrontation in Court

Lin Sanniu looked carefully at County Magistrate Zhou. His heart was filled with respect and fear. When he heard County Magistrate Zhou’s words, his heart tightened. He opened his mouth and stammered, ” yes, yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency. This...”

Lin Sanniu rambled on for a long time, but he could not come up with an explanation.

County Magistrate Zhou smacked the gavel and asked sternly, ” Lin Sanniu, you just have to answer me yes or no.”

Hearing that, Lin Sanniu was so scared that he shrunk his neck. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned pale.

This time, he was so scared that he couldn’t speak. He didn’t even have the strength to answer ” yes ” or ” no “.

Lin Laosan was calmer than Lin Sanniu. He replied on behalf of Lin Sanniu, ” my Lord, there is indeed such a thing. However, this lowly one’s family has their own difficulties in severing ties with Lan ‘Er, so please listen to this lowly one’s explanation!”

As soon as County Magistrate Zhou heard that it was Lin Sandou who replied, he slammed the gavel on the table again. His sharp eyes shot at Lin Sandou, and he shouted sternly, ” Lin Sandou, I didn’t ask you a question, but you interrupted me. Now, I will give you ten smacks for disturbing the court. Men, execute this immediately!”

Lin yuelan gave County Magistrate Zhou a thumbs-up in her heart.

County Magistrate Zhou was really awesome.

He gave elder Lin 10 big slaps as soon as he came up, which was really satisfying.

When Lin Sanniu heard that his father was about to be punished, his foolish filial heart flared up. He didn’t care about his nervousness or fear as he directly kowtowed to County Magistrate Zhou and said, ” my Lord, my Lord, my Lord, please spare my father’s life. My father is old and can’t take these 10 slaps. Why don’t you let me take the punishment in my father’s place?”

When County Magistrate Zhou heard this, he nodded slightly and said, ” alright, considering your filial piety, you will be the one to receive the ten punishments in your father’s place! Men, execute this immediately!”

After that, other than Lin Sanniu’s muffled groans and Lin Laosan’s occasional flame-like glare at Lin yuelan, the entire court was silent.

As for li Cuihua and Zhou Guixiang, even though they had the upper hand in the Lin family Village and could argue with anyone in this court, they couldn’t help but shrink back, not even daring to let out a fart.

Even Lin Sanniu, who was going to be flogged ten times, did not dare to make a sound.

If they were in the Lin family Village, they would have pounced on Lin Yuelan already.

After a short while, Lin Sanniu was done with his ten slaps.

He was already half-dead after only ten beatings.

His originally pale face had become even paler after being flogged. Although there was no blood on his buttocks, he lay on the stool weakly.

The two constables quickly pulled him down from the stool and did not do anything to him. They let him lie on the ground, and the court proceeding continued.

However, such a situation left the bystanders dumbfounded.

He was clearly here to sue his daughter for being unfilial, but in the blink of an eye, he, the father of the original plaintiff, was the first to be flogged.

After Lin Sanniu returned to his original position and knelt down, County Magistrate Zhou slammed the gavel again and asked sternly, ” Lin Sanniu, your father said that Lin yuelan cut off all ties with you. There was a hidden reason. What’s the reason? Quickly tell me!”

In the hall, Lin yuelan pouted and thought to herself, ‘what kind of difficulties could there be? They were scared that I’d jinx the family, so they were forced to make such a choice...’

In the end, as expected ...
