DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 94 - 94 Crying Injustice
94 Crying Injustice
Er Bao walked forward. Before he could get close to Mo Ruyue, he was stopped by a stick.
“Where did this doll come from? This is the court of the imperial court, not a place for you to play and make noise. Hurry up and leave!”
The bailiff who stopped him said with his eyes wide open.
“Why? We’re here to cry our grievances. Do you think you can bully us just because we’re children?”
Er Bao had a stomach full of anger. At this time, he could not care about his fear. He glared and shouted back. This made the commoners who were watching laugh.

“This kid is quite powerful.”
“That’s right. The Yamen doesn’t forbid children from crying out their grievances. Let’s just listen to other people’s grievances.”
“That’s right. He’s so young, but he already knows how to call for his mother’s innocence. Whether there’s really an injustice or not, the old master will definitely give justice.”
“That’s right, you can’t stop him from talking!”
Everyone was talking at once, causing the county magistrate’s expression to darken again.
“Alright! How can we allow you to roar in the court!”
He slammed the gavel and silenced those whispering voices. However, with so many pairs of eyes staring at him, he had no choice but to clear his throat and say to Er Bao, “Since you said that you’re here to seek justice for your mother, then do you have a complaint?”
“There are! We’ve brought a petition. ”
The one who spoke was Da Bao. He was much calmer. His small body was upright, and he stood there like a nail that had been nailed into the ground. Anyone who saw him could not help but exclaim in admiration. This child was really stable!
Da Bao took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and presented them with both hands, saying, “Old Master, please take a look. This is the petition that we asked Sir to help us write.”
“I asked Sir to write it… You can’t read?”
The magistrate didn’t signal for his advisor to take the case, but instead asked an irrelevant question.
“Yes, we were poor before and didn’t have the money to study, so we couldn’t read.”
Da Bao replied neither obsequiously nor haughtily.
“Then do you all know that if what you said is false and this old master finds out, you will be beaten and sent to prison.”
The magistrate seemed to be telling him this out of good intentions, but the hidden threat in his words made Mo Ruyue narrow her eyes.
“Old Master, we’ve all signed and stamped our thumbprints on the side of the accusation. We’re willing to be punished for any lie!”
Da Bao wasn’t frightened by the magistrate’s words at all. Instead, his eyes shone even brighter. His determined look made Mo Ruyue suddenly feel like he was in a trance.
When they first met, he was also trying so hard to protect his younger brothers and sisters. It was just that he was full of courage at that time, but now he was calm and composed, far calmer than children his age.
The important thing was that he was trying so hard to protect her!
“Good, then bring up your case for me to see.”
The county magistrate gave his private advisor a look, indicating for him to bring Da Bao’s case over.
“Old Master, did you just say that as long as someone is sued, regardless of whether they are guilty or not, they have to be hit by the “killing rod”?”
Da Bao pulled the accusation back. Not only did he not pass it to the Old Master, but he also raised another question.
“That’s right, there’s such a law in the laws of our Empire. ”
The magistrate didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Da Bao’s question, so he nodded and answered.
“Then please ask your wife to come out and speak. One of our charges is that the old master’s wife wrongly accused my mother, saying that she treated human lives like grass. However, my mother really saved a person who was about to die, so please ask her to come out and take this stick.”
“Hiss~”
When the surrounding commoners heard Da Bao’s words, they all sucked in a cold breath.
This kid must be tired of living, daring to offend the county magistrate like this? He even said that he wanted his wife to come out and be beaten?
Wasn’t Madam badly treated and lying in bed? Even if she was hit by a stick, she should be injured, right?
The county magistrate looked at Da Bao in shock. He had never thought that a child as big as a bean would dare to provoke him and even ask him to call his wife out to be beaten by a stick. Where would he put his face? How would he have any dignity in front of others in the future?
He had already spoken too confidently just now. If he were to say that there was no such law now, he would be in an even more embarrassing situation. Who knew what else this child was going to say?
“Old Master, according to the law of this dynasty, if the suspect is injured or ill, this killing rod can be recorded at the discretion of the Emperor. In the future, when they have recovered, they will thank you for your kindness.”
The advisor said at the most crucial moment. This reason made the county magistrate’s eyes light up, and he immediately continued the conversation, “Yes, there is such a rule. This official’s wife is currently sick in bed. I will remember it and make up for it in the future.”
He then stared deeply at Mo Ruyue, who was standing below, and said, “As for Lady Qin’s stick, I’d better quickly receive a good promotion.”
As he spoke, he picked up the token from the bucket on the table and was about to throw it to the ground.
“My mother is also injured.”
Da Bao interrupted him in time. He looked at Mo Ruyue, his eyelashes drooped slightly, then he raised his head and said, “For the family’s livelihood, mother often has to go into the mountains to hunt and gather herbs. A few days ago, in order to treat your wife’s illness, sometimes I have to rush back past noon. I have to hurry into the mountains. Otherwise, when it gets dark, not only will it be difficult to see the road, but it will also be dangerous with the appearance of wild beasts.”
“Just yesterday, mother came back from the mountains with a body full of injuries. She thought that we didn’t know and even hid to secretly apply medicine. In fact, we knew everything, just that we didn’t say it.”
When Mo Ruyue heard Da Bao say that she was injured, she knew that the babies must have known everything. But this was a beautiful misunderstanding!
Yesterday, she made an excuse to go hunting in the mountains, but in fact, she went into the space and made a few ointments and antidotes.
Whether it was Liu Wangshi’s jealousy or the county magistrate’s coveting, although she was not afraid or concerned, it was better to prepare before it happened.
So, she went to the wall of the medical room and rummaged through it. She circled out all the antidotes and ointments that could be used. Then, she made a list of all the herbs she needed and began to look for them in the herbal field in the interspace.
Although Mo Ruyue was very careful not to let the herbs in the space flow out, it was natural to use the best ones for herself and her babies. Therefore, every time she entered the mountain, she would pay attention to adding all kinds of herbs she lacked in her space. Unknowingly, she had accumulated countless kinds of herbs. contemporary romance
At the same time, she discovered that the space field, which was originally only a few mu, had quietly extended far away. There should be many more magical things in this space, and she still needed to discover them by chance.
After comparing all the herbs on the list, Lin Xi found that one of the herbs seemed to be in the medicine storage room of the medical room. The medicine storage room was divided into two types: traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but it was sealed by a layer of light film, and she could not enter at all.
She didn’t know if the herb that she was missing could be found in the mountains. Even if there was, where could it be? The mountain stretched for several miles, and she couldn’t see the end. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack, so Mo Ruyue decided to try his luck in the medicine storage room.
