Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 119: Unjust Successor

The people were incited and unanimously demanded an explanation from Lin Ruogui. Seeing that the strong men were about to lead the crowd to break through the obstruction of the yamen runners, at the critical moment, a path was squeezed out of the crowd, and Bai Zhi strode in and stood at the gate of the county government office, and said calmly: "Mr. Zheng, if you catch an adulterer, you should catch two people together. How did Lord Lin commit adultery with your father? Do you dare to let your father come here to confront him face to face?"

When Lin Ruogui saw Bai Zhi coming, she let out a long breath, and her anger subsided a lot. She took two steps forward and whispered to Bai Zhi, "Ah Zhi, you just need to stand beside me, and I will take care of the rest."

"Don't worry, mom. You don't have to say anything. Leave it all to me." Bai Zhi comforted her softly.

Yang Jinlang's momentum was obviously lower. Seeing that the yamen runners were still protecting Lin Ruogui, he couldn't help but get anxious. Zheng Qing stepped forward, angrily shouted, "Dare! Why don't you dare! I'll go back and invite my father here right now!"

"Zheng Qing!" Yang Jinlang hurriedly stopped Zheng Qing, "Old Master Zheng is already old. As a son, how can you let him come here and embarrass himself?"

Zheng Qing thought it made sense, and turned around and cursed: "Bai, you want to ask my father to come here and embarrass himself? No way!"

Bai Zhi saw everything the two said and did, and said with a sigh: "If you don't dare to come, just say you don't dare to come. It's embarrassing to talk nonsense."

Zheng Qing said angrily: "Who said you dare not come!"

"Fellow villagers, elder sisters, please judge for yourself," Bai Zhi said loudly, "Should Old Master Zheng come here in person to file a complaint, or should someone who has nothing to do with this matter come here and make random comments to file a complaint?"

Zheng Qing was about to refute him, but Yang Jinlang held him back and said to Bai Zhi contemptuously, "Manager Bai, Zheng Qing is Old Master Zheng's biological son, so how can he be irrelevant to this matter?"

Bai Zhi ignored Yang Jinlang and looked directly at Zheng Qing and said, "Zheng Qing, you keep saying that Lord Lin committed adultery with your father. Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Zheng Qing: "Of course I..."

"You saw it by the bed?" Bai Zhi sneered, "Well, let me ask you, where is the birthmark on my mother's body?"

Some people around laughed, Zheng Qing blushed and said, "How can you be so shameless!"

"Why are you reporting a case if you're afraid of being embarrassed?" Bai Zhi looked around the crowd. "The most important thing in solving a case is evidence. Both human and physical evidence are indispensable. Otherwise, justice and helping the weak are all empty talk. Aunt Jiang, let me ask you, if I run to your door with nothing but a mouth and say that your uncle Liu seduced my mother, will that work? Sister Pang, I said that you sneaked into my house in the middle of the night and committed adultery with Chuqi. I have no evidence. Should others believe it?"

Baizhi ordered a few more people, including men, women, young and old.

It doesn't hurt unless the stick hits you. Many people shut their mouths and began to think carefully about what Bai Zhi said.

An old man of high moral character in the county town stepped out with a cane, opened his cloudy eyes and said slowly: "Zheng family, what Manager Bai said makes sense. You can ask your father to come and confront Lord Lin face to face. If you make it clear, it will be clear who is right and who is wrong."

At this point, Zheng Qing had already been held up by the crowd. Not calling his own father would make him look like a troublemaker. He shook off Yang Jinlang with one hand, pointed at Lin Ruogui and shouted, "Wait, I'll call my father over now! Don't run!"

"Zheng Qing," Yang Jinlang rolled his eyes and shouted, "Why don't you bring this whore to your house to see the old master? It's the whore who is in the wrong, not you."

The bailiff shouted angrily, "It is a capital crime to privately hold an official of the imperial court hostage. Who dares to do that?"

Now Zheng Qing is in a dilemma whether to go or not.

Bai Zhi slowly turned the conversation to Yang Jinlang: "Mr. Yang, you are still covered in dirt, so why don't you stop interfering in other people's family affairs?"

Yang Jinlang: "What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" Bai Zhi covered her face and sighed in front of all the villagers, "You came to my door yesterday and said to me, you don't remember anything?"

The people around stretched their necks to stare at Yang Jinlang.

"I...I..." Yang Jinlang's face turned red with embarrassment, "What I said to you has nothing to do with this matter!"

"You want me to have an affair with you, even if I'm married, it doesn't matter. What's the saying... Oh, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers." Bai Zhi turned her face away as if embarrassed, "You are the one who has no shame."

The situation suddenly reversed. The crowd, who were originally half-watching the fun, started to watch the fun completely. Several girls on the side said at once: "Come to think of it, I did see the Yang family's carriage parked in front of the Lin Mansion early in the morning yesterday." "Oh, I saw a carriage too. Was it the Yang family's carriage?" "Yes, there was silk hanging on the body of the carriage. There is only one in Qing County."

Yang Jinlang was unexpectedly pulled into the center of the vortex. With trembling hands and feet, he pointed at Bai Zhi and cursed: "You bitch! How dare you confuse right and wrong to frame me!"

Bai Zhi: "I am plotting against you? I am damaging my own reputation just to plot against you? What do I want?"

Yang Jinlang: "You are because of me..."

He "I" can't go on.

Bai Zhi said calmly, "Mr. Yang, you are not angry because I rejected you yesterday, and you are here to wrongly accuse my mother today, right?"

"...You are slandering me!" Yang Jinlang said confidently, "Today's incident has nothing to do with me. I think you are angry and want to blame me!"

"Oh - so it has nothing to do with you, then why are you interfering?" Bai Zhi said, "Mr. Yang, didn't you say too much today? Mr. Zheng, why do you listen to him so much?"

Zheng Qing: "Of course, Jinlang said he would do justice for me!"

"Mr. Zheng, let me ask you, where did you hear about this adultery?"

Zheng Qing blurted out: "Of course Jinlang told me, otherwise I would still be in the dark!"

The onlookers finally sensed some conspiracy, and looked at Yang Jinlang with strange eyes. Yang Jinlang laughed evilly and pointed at Lin Ruogui: "Of course I have to tell my friends, because I saw it with my own eyes. Last night, it was this bitch who sneaked out of the county government office and went all the way to the back door of the Zheng family!"

"You just followed me all the way?"

"Just on my way."

"May I ask what clothes Lord Lin was wearing at that time?"

"Cheating is naturally dressed in black."

"At this time of night, dressed in black, you can confirm that it is Lord Lin." Bai Zhi applauded, "You have good eyesight."

Yang Jinlang's words were full of loopholes, but he was not panicked at all. Instead, he seemed to be waiting for Bai Zhi to ask him. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and held it up, saying loudly: "I have this as evidence. Everyone, please look, this is the prostitute's thing."

The plain blue handkerchief had a crooked Lin embroidered on one corner.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Bai Zhi recognized the handkerchief. It was indeed Lin Ruogui's. Lin Ruogui was not good at embroidery, and the things she embroidered were all uniquely ugly.
