Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

-------------------

Qi Zhen pursed his lips and did not say anything. As the son-in-law of the Lai family, he had no idea about Su Wan and her family but from the aggressive tone of Su Wan, it could be seen that she was very much aware of everything that he and his family did in the Big Ocean City.

In the past, he had bribed the county magistrates to act like the tyrant of this city. From stealing women to selling them into brothels and refusing to pay money to those who died while working in his fields, he had done a lot of cruel things. All of this was possible because the county magistrate was backing him.

All in all, Su Wan was right. As the county magistrate of this city, she could do anything that she wanted, what was more she was appointed by the Emperor and the seal on her appointment document was different than the one that the other county magistrates' documents, that seal belonged to the Imperial family!

Once Qi Zhen turned silent, Su Wan huffed and then turned to look at the old woman before saying, " You can continue speaking. Like I said, if something happens to you then the Lai family will bear the brunt."

When the Old woman heard Su Wan's words, she calmed down and nodded before opening her mouth, " County magistrate, my man worked for ages at the government grain house. Six months ago, his foot slipped and his head cracked under the weight of the sack that he was carrying, the granary boss refused to pay compensation. I am an old woman with nowhere to go.

Where would I get the money to pay for my husband's funeral?"

As she spoke the old woman's eyes turned red. But she did not cry as she did not want to stop speaking here, she then sniffed and continued, " I could only come to the county office for mercy, hoping that they would help me. But…" she raised her head and glared at Lai Baihu with hatred in her eyes. " That man, he did not let us go inside! I and my granddaughter begged and begged but he did not agree.

In the end, he said that my granddaughter needed to set an appointment and took her away. My poor granddaughter was naive and believed him, she went with him intact but when she came back…"

Tears poured out of the old woman's eyes as she spat out harshly, " She was ruined! Completely ruined! My granddaughter couldn't bear the pain and killed herself. I have been coming to the county magistrate but I always get kicked out I still wait outside hoping that one of the officials would hear my pleas but they all push me away! You tell me where should I go?"

" Thats right!" Another man stepped forward and pulled his wife with him. " He ruined my wife as well, we were here to ask to have our household documents stamped but this man took advantage of my absence as he refused to let my wife step inside the county office and ruined her! Because of him, we lost our two-month unborn child, my wife had been turned into a fool because of his ruthlessness!"

As he spoke he turned to look at his wife who was hiding behind his back, her eyes were blank and anyone could see that she did not have any idea what was going on around her.

No sooner did he finish speaking, another woman stepped out and hatefully glared at Lai Baihu before saying, " County magistrate, I want to complain about Lai Baihu as well. Three months ago, I and my two sisters came to the county magistrate's office because we needed to pay taxes on our land or else it would be snatched by the government.

However, just like that man said, he stopped me outside as I was old, telling me that only those who fixed the appointment could go inside. I believed him and let my two younger sisters follow him but when they came out they did not wait to rush in front of the carriage and killed themselves! I watched them die in front of me!"

After speaking, the woman knelt on the ground and knocked her head on the floor heavily, "County magistrate you have to hand justice to my two sisters! They were too young, one of them was just eleven! While the other had her marriage fixed but their future was ruined by that beast!"

Once the pot broke, more and more people came forward. Some said that their sister was ruined while the others said that their business was closed because of the amount of bribes that Lai Baihu took from them. Someone cried for their mother who was embarrassed at an old age while the other cried for their daughter who was ruined and had to marry an old woman.

The more Su Wan listened the more her face turned ugly, she turned to look at Lai Baihu slowly and then asked, " You ruined more than sixty women? Do you think you are the Emperor? Or do you think you are some sort of rich master? Can have as much number of concubines as you want?"

" They… They are lying…" Lai Baihu felt humiliated, he never thought that the matter of him sleeping with other women would come to light like this, he looked at Su Wan and then at others, while glaring at them but with the county magistrate's backing, no one dared to back down and they glared right back at Lai Baihu.

" So you are the only one who is the God of truth while the rest of them are liars?" Lin Rui sneered as he looked at the man in front of him with disgust in his eyes. Such a man was allowed to have power in his hands, with this alone they could see why the Big Ocean City could never move forward.

" This…"

" Call the Yamen officers !" Before Lai Baihu could say anything, Su Wan ordered the other guard who stood next to Lai Baihu. " Tell them to bring the man in charge of turning men into eunuchs.

Since he cannot control his manhood then there is no need to have one." She glanced at Lai Baihu whose face was pale and then sneered coldly, " Once the crux of the problem is cut off let's see how he does those evil deeds."
