Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 708 Enough!

Constable Sun emphasized the word "truthfully".

The woman swallowed and suppressed her panic.

From the moment Constable Sun showed up, she had already thought of her excuse.

"Sir, I am innocent!" She slid to her knees and hugged Constable Sun's thigh.

Constable Sun frowned and pushed her away, "Stand up and speak! I've said I'll handle this impartially. If you feel you've been wronged, then tell me the truth!"

The woman loosened her hand, but still knelt on the ground, wiping her tears and saying, "Sir, I only have this one daughter..."

Constable Sun pouted when he heard this.

The iron ruler touched the ground, making two clear clanging sounds. "Let's get down to business."

"Yes, yes..." The woman wiped away her tears again, "Sir, when I got there, I saw my daughter lying unconscious, and everyone was surrounding her! As for how she fell, everyone said she fell on her own! But how could I, as a mother, believe it!"

She threw herself on the bed, covered her face and cried bitterly, "My daughter is so old, and her limbs are intact. If someone hadn't pushed her on purpose, how could she have fallen down by herself, and even broken her bones? Sir, you have seen a lot, do you think this is reasonable?"

Before Constable Sun could say anything, everyone in the room started cursing loudly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that one of us pushed this little girl down on purpose?!"

"Just because you haven't seen it with your own eyes, does that mean it doesn't exist? That's ridiculous! There are so many things in this world that you haven't seen!"

The woman raised her head and swept her eyes full of resentment over everyone's face.

"Who knows if you guys are teaming up to evade responsibility? If so, all the money for the medical treatment and medicine will be borne by the two of us, mother and daughter. We can only swallow our anger!"

Everyone was so angry that they wanted to laugh. The butcher's fingers pressed and loosened on the handle of the knife, and then pressed again.

The woman raised her hands and looked at Constable Sun. "Sir, I don't believe the child fell down by herself. I want to... sue all of them! Make them be responsible for the rest of my daughter's life!"

"enough!!"

Before everyone could be shocked or angry, a roar came from the woman's bed behind her.

It was Song Qiao, whose temples were wet with cold sweat.

The pain from her roar made her face twisted and her chest heaved.

Doctor Lan was so scared that he grabbed the chest plate and put it on her. "Silver, silver, I won't charge you for this chest plate! Little girl, please stop moving! No one has died in my clinic this year. Do you want to be the first one?"

This unexpected kindness was like a breeze passing by, blowing away the anger in Song Qiao's chest and her obsession with her "mother".

"Don't say any more." She said, "Auntie Tian Cui, stop talking nonsense and wrongly accusing a good person."

The woman suddenly turned her head, her eyes widened above her sunken cheeks, and with the traces of tears at the corners of her eyes, she looked extremely creepy.

"Song Qiao, what did you say?" She gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.

The smile on Song Qiao's face was extremely sarcastic. She imitated Tian Cuigu and spoke word by word: "Tian Cuigu, I say, I don't want to wrong people again."

After that, she gradually raised her eyes and gave Constable Sun an apologetic smile, "Sir, I am the injured party. What everyone said is right. I ran too fast and fell. It has nothing to do with you. I don't need them to pay for my medical treatment."

"Ah——!" Tian Cuigu suddenly went crazy and slapped Song Qiao in the face. "Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense! You just can't stand seeing me doing well, right?"

Before everyone could even sigh that "good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboo", they were stunned by the unexpected scene.

"Why are you hitting the child!" Constable Sun reacted the fastest. When Tian Cui Gu was about to slap her a second time, he clamped her wrist tightly.

"She lied! She lied!"

Before this, Tian Cui Gu had thought about all the possible scenarios that might happen, but she never thought that Song Qiao would sell her out.

That Song Qiao.

Song Qiao, who worked like a slave at home and was ordered around by her just to make her smile, turned around and bit her?

This is something I never even dreamed of, but it actually happened today.

She stared at Song Qiao, and suddenly felt that this face, which she had seen for more than ten years, became unfamiliar in an instant.

"The child admitted that he fell down." Constable Sun used only one hand to clasp Tian Cuigu's hands behind her back and asked, "Tian Cuigu, do you have anything else to say?"

It was not until this time that Tian Cui Gu became truly panicked.

She screamed, "Why did you arrest me? Why? I beat my own child. I didn't break any law!"

It’s not illegal to beat your own child.

Everyone's hatred for her increased.

It is natural for parents to punish their children, but which parent would beat or scold their children? Can they be called parents?

Seeing that she had not changed her ways, Constable Sun sneered, "It's not against the law to beat a child, but you have a bad memory and forgot that this young master wants to sue you for extortion and blackmail!"

Tian Cuigu struggled to look at Wang Guangjin, spit flying, "Did I take his money? Does he have a penny in my pocket? If not, then how can you say I blackmailed him! Besides, I just didn't know that Song Qiao fell down by herself. Now I know, I, I don't want their money!"

After listening to Tian Cui Gu's words, there was only one question left in everyone's mind.

——Can it still be like this?

How can you say that?

Can she even make it up like this?

Everyone looked at Constable Sun, waiting for his decision. Although they had not read the law, they knew that "when catching a thief, you must seize the stolen goods; when arresting a person, you must seize both."

Although everyone knew that Tian Cuigu was just trying to extort money from people, what about the law? Would the law be biased towards her? Isn't the law the most concerned with evidence?

This is not the first time that Constable Sun has encountered such a thing.

He was extremely grateful that Prefect Yu came to Liuyang Prefecture to take up his post and deal with many unresolved cases.

Among them are cases of "attempted extortion, unclear subjective intentions."

Constable Sun held Tian Cuigu's hands harder and harder. Tian Cuigu turned her head to him and he chuckled, "Do you think we can't do anything to you just because the money hasn't reached your pocket?"

Tian Cuigu's heart skipped a beat. She pretended to be calm and turned to ask him, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Constable Sun's smile became more obvious. "You said something yourself, and you forgot it the moment you turned around?"

"What?" Tian Cui Gu kept recalling what she had said before.

"You said before that you didn't know that Song Qiao fell on her own, so you asked this young master for compensation for the medical fees and medicines."
