Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chapter 370 Disposing of Mother Xue
The magistrate was startled, and the expression on his face almost froze.

"My lord, Mingyue Qingfeng, actually did such a thing in disregard of the law. It's really surprising," Xue Lince pressed on every step of the way, and the kindness he had just lost on his face, "Now that things have happened, are you still not confessing truthfully?"

The magistrate took half a step back, his face was blank for a moment, but he regained his spirit immediately, and sneered, "These are just your speculations, so what if you look at the bullets? This judge is my subordinate, I have been an official in Jeju for many years, don't you know the nature of this person?"

Xue Lince frowned, "Does your lord mean that you refuse to confess?"

"It's all random speculation, why do I have to confess?" The magistrate had a rather smug look on his face, "Master Xue, this is Jeju, not Yuedong, and it's not a place where you ran wild. You are just a man in the capital. An official cousin, do you think you can plant it on me?"

As soon as he slapped the table, his eyes became fierce. Xue Lince protected Tang Luoyu behind him, and he didn't take half a step back. His eyes were still calm as usual, like a calm lake.

"My lord's protection of Tong San is a blessing he has earned." Xue Lince smiled meaningfully, "Just now I thought something was different, so I asked two close friends to look for Tong San and his concubine, my lord. If you want to rescue these two people, I'm afraid it will be a step too late."

The magistrate was shocked, the muscles on his face twitched, and a few strands of his mustache fluttered, his heart pounded.

At this time, the half-hidden door was suddenly pushed open gently, and a young servant with an anxious face and sweat on his face came in. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Xue Tang and his wife in the study, and then walked to the magistrate in small steps. Whispered something in his ear.

Tang Luoyu could make a rough guess, most likely it was that Tongpan and Mrs. Zhang had been taken away, and they didn't know where they were going.

Sure enough, after the boy left, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the magistrate's face, and even his collar was immediately soaked into a dark color with sweat.

"Master Zhifu," Xue Lince knew that the timing was just right, and he spoke with a bit of aggressive aura, "Tong Juan and Mrs. Zhang have been taken away by two of my close friends. Coincidentally, these two close friends of mine happen to be people who walk the rivers and lakes. I know a little bit about interrogation skills, if some news comes out of the mouth of the judge, it will be really bad for the adults."

Tang Luoyu took over the quarrel, "I see that your lord is quite resourceful. If you continue to be an official, you must have a bright future, so why continue to indulge and protect your subordinates? If you confess, you will definitely be able to make up for your mistakes."

The two successfully created a prisoner's dilemma. Now whoever speaks out first will be able to atone for his crime. Not only must he speak accurately, but he must also speak faster than the other party!
The prefect of Jeju reacted quickly. He pinched his fingers and raised his head. The arrogance and disdain just now disappeared, "Lord Xue, let me tell you everything."

Chai Jin and Ke Ran also used the same method. The judge and the magistrate didn't know each other's situation, so they were played around, and both sides signed confessions.

The four returned to Beijing and gained a lot. Not only did they crack the rumor case, but also caught the culprit. Xue Lince sent the three to the Ministry of Punishment first, and then went to visit Jingshan.

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were very happy, so they sat down together to reminisce about the old days, among them they must talk about the jade pendant, Xue Lince explained it in a few words, and the atmosphere in the room was cheerful and harmonious, very harmonious.

When they were enjoying themselves, a series of chaotic and fierce footsteps came from outside the door. The two were startled. When they looked up, they saw that it was Mother Xue rushing towards the study.

Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was in a mess, her eyes were scarlet, and her face was a little fatter. The flesh on her cheeks was trembling as she ran, and she called Xue Lince's name in a sharp voice before entering the room.

"Xue Lince! It's really you!"

She ran in in a panic, and immediately washed away the harmonious and gentle atmosphere just now.

"Okay, finally let me see you!" Mother Xue yelled loudly, her voice was sharp and piercing, like an awl piercing her eardrum, "You heartless thing! A white-eyed wolf who can't support a family! Do you know that your mother and I How wronged I have been here!"

Xue Lince's eyebrows twitched, he had been exchanging letters with Jing Shan before, and he knew the reason for it, so of course he didn't believe her lies.

Sure enough, Mother Xue changed the subject and began to question Xue Linlang and Lu Nan's marriage.

"You unfilial son, I've raised you in vain for so many years, and you actually repay me like this! What is your plan to marry Lin Lang to that poor scholar! Are you crazy? Lin Lang is going to marry a high-ranking official and rich family to become a phoenix. You, you!"

She stretched out her finger, gnashing her teeth angrily, wishing she could poke that finger into Xue Lince's eyeball.

Jing Shan only felt that she was making a lot of noise with her nonsense yelling, and she winked at the maidservant who was chasing after her, and they gathered around to take Mother Xue away, but she never thought that the woman would suddenly burst into a rage. With a strange force, he broke free from the shackles and rushed to Xue Lince's side.

She wanted to shake his shoulders, but when she looked into those cold and indifferent eyes, she felt her calves go limp, and she almost fell to the ground. The arrogant and domineering aura seemed to have been poured with cold water, and most of it disappeared in an instant.

"Ce'er!" After she finished scolding, she began to behave miserably, "How could you treat mother like this, do you know that your cousin doesn't treat mother as a human being at all! He actually drove mother to the street to beg, You have to be the master for your mother!"

She cried miserably, completely forgetting the unrighteous things she did before, Jing Shan only ordered her to do some hard work these days, she was originally a maid, but now she felt that the other party was humiliating her, so she went on a hunger strike to resist.

Jing Shan had no choice but to put her under house arrest to prevent her from causing trouble. She was still dissatisfied, and remembered to sue Jing Shan by Xue Lince's side every day.

"You picked yourself clean," Jing Shan said impatiently, "Opening and closing your mouth is the kindness of nurturing, and you completely forget about the injustice of using Lin Ce and Xue Linlang."

Mother Xue's face turned pale, and she was furious, "What nonsense! I have raised them for so long, shouldn't I repay them? When is it your turn to speak?"

She screamed and screamed, Jing Shan still looked calm, just picked up the teacup with bare hands, and ordered the guards around her to come over, "She cried and made trouble, take her down."

Xue's mother exploded again when she heard the words, and began to kick and struggle, "Xue Lince! You really are a white-eyed wolf. I treated you like this, and you didn't even say a good word for me! I knew you couldn't help me." I entrusted Lin Lang to marry a high-ranking official when I was busy, but you secretly betrothed her to someone else behind my back, you heartless!"

Xue Lince didn't say a word, just quietly listening to her voice fade away, and let Jing Shan deal with it.
