Chapter 122: Chapter 122 What other tricks are being hidden?_1

Facing the aggressive crowd, Qin Yi calmly bowed in greeting.

"Village Chief, you always have a reason behind your actions, so I wonder what brings you to the Han House today?"

"What? Heh heh..."

The village chief chuckled coldly and ordered his men, "Get the woman, Su Pan’er. Arrest her for attempted assault."

"Yes, sir!"

The village administrators thundered in agreement, charging into the house.

Qin Yi quickly stepped in front to block the entrance, his eyes cold: "Village Chief, has my wife’s alleged crime been tried and is there an arrest warrant issued by the authorities?"

The Village Chief looked taken aback.

"If you are about to arrest my wife without any justification..."

Qin Yi’s face turned icy cold: "Unless you step over my dead body, you are not laying a finger on her!"

Seeing Qin Yi’s readiness to fight to the death, Village Chief looked utterly astounded.

"All right then! You, a scholar, dare to contend like a woman? Are you trying to force me into submission with your life at stake?"

Considering that the scholar was already in poor health, any accidental physical harm could lead to serious trouble, which might implicate him as well.

Alright, enough.

After all, he is of reputable standing. Originally, it was because he didn’t give me proper respect, which is why I planned to teach him a lesson. As things stand, it’s better to take a step back.

The Village Chief made up his mind and quickly changed the topic: "I have sufficient evidence to arrest Pan’er! It was your sister-in-law and your mother who accused Su Pan’er of intentional harm."

"Intentional harm? Village Chief, have you thoroughly investigated the ins and outs of my wife’s alleged crime?"

Qin Yi stood his ground!

He continued to speak passionately, "Do you always make judgements while only listening to the plaintiff’s story?"

"How dare you! What do you mean by that?"

The Village Chief turned red when his actions were accurately described: "This matter... naturally, I will conduct a thorough investigation. Since the plaintiffs are your sister-in-law and mother, I believe they wouldn’t lie, so..."

"In front of the laws of the Great Zhou, all are equal, a prince who breaks the law is as guilty as a commoner!"

Qin Yi’s words were forceful: "No matter who committed what crime, as an official of this dynasty, you should stand up for the people, set an example by conducting a thorough investigation to ensure the innocence of the common people! Village Chief, you surely understand this, don’t you?"

While he spoke, there was an intimidating aura emanating from him, as if he were dictating national affairs.

The Village Chief felt as if he were facing a nobleman of the current dynasty, and beads of sweat as large as beans appeared on his forehead.

He wiped the cold sweat from his brows, squinting at what was clearly a poor scholar. Could it be that what he saw before was an illusion?

This is ridiculous!

"Cough... cough... Of course, I understand. I was just testing your reactions when I mentioned arresting Su Pan’er! It was all in jest!"

After a light cough, he straightened his attire and continued seriously: "Mrs. Qin-Li, Mrs. Qin-Chen, you are the plaintiffs. Please provide the details of the case!"

Having lived for several decades, Mrs. Qin-Li, upon noticing the village chief’s hesitation, remained silent.

Mrs. Qin-Chen however, couldn’t care less about formalities. She was filled with grievances and ready to pour them out.

"Your Honor, it was Su Pan’er who broke my elder brother’s leg. I saw it with my own eyes, it’s true..."

She couldn’t hold back any longer and started wailing.

"Your Honor, you’ve seen my brother’s injuries for yourself. Surely, you can’t believe that my brother, out of boredom, broke his own leg to frame others, can you? You must seek justice for me!"

"What you’re saying is true. Your brother’s injuries were indeed seen by me!"

The Village Chief stroked his beard and smirked: "Qin Yi, is it true that Su Pan’er broke Chen Laoshi’s leg?"

"Yes, my wife did indeed commit such an act."

Qin Yi soberly admitted and added, "However, the reason this happened was..."

The Village Chief didn’t even allow him to explain, and his face darkened: "Since it has been confirmed that Su Pan’er assaulted someone, why are we waiting? Why isn’t she here paying her respects and explaining the circumstances to me? Is she hiding because she fears imprisonment?"

"Su Pan’er must be hiding because she’s afraid of being punished! Village Chief, you must act decisively and arrest her immediately!"

Before Qin Yi could defend himself, Mrs. Qin-Chen started howling.

A hint of amusement flashed in the Village Chief’s eyes. This Mrs. Qin-Chen sure had sharp eyes.

But why was Qin Yi preventing entry into the house? Was he hiding anything else?

A ray of understanding crossed his eyes.

With a cold command, he ordered: "Men, for the sake of finding out the truth, bring Su Pan’er to see me immediately!"

"Yes."

Several village administrators charged inside again.

"Wait! Village Chief, no matter what crime Su Pan’er has committed, I am willing to take responsibility!"

Qin Yi stood in front of them again, loudly proclaiming: "I vouch for Su Pan’er with my own reputation, she is innocent! Please give me a chance to defend her!"

"Defend? Of course, I will give her the chance to do so!"

The Village Chief snorted: "It is a fact that she hurt someone, therefore the accused should give herself a chance to defend. Why is she hiding around? Could it be as Mrs. Qin-Chen described, that she is trying to escape from her crime? Listen up! You, the village administrators, go into the house immediately and find Su Pan’er. If Scholar Qin hinders the proceedings again, he will be charged with obstructing official business!"

"Yes."

The burly village administrators rolled up their sleeves and advanced.

"Let’s see who dares to come in!"

Qin Yi was furious: "Stop, all of you stop! This crime of forcibly intruding into a private residence, can you bear it? Let go..."

Seeing Qin Yi still resisting, the village administrators forcefully grabbed Qin Yi’s arm and threw him off to one side.

Regardless of Qin Yi’s struggles,

He got outnumbered and was promptly toppled to the ground by them. They stormed into the house!

Inside the house.

The critical stage of Su Ke area’s surgery had been reached.

The previously healed bone was cracked open again and the surrounding flesh was a mess, barely leaving any unscathed area. Su Pan’er’s entire focus was on her arms, penetrating the flesh, and cleansing the diseased area.

Beads of sweat dripped from Su Pan’er’s face. Seeing the dislocated bone being realigned, she didn’t dare to even blink.

"Piggy, saliva!"

"Okie dokie!"

The Bama pig was standing by ready; it pursed its lips, and spat saliva precisely at the location of the broken bone.

Then it quickly withdrew its hoof, excitedly wagging its small tail!

The pig’s saliva quickly seeped into the bone, transforming into tiny silver lights as it penetrated the bone and disappeared without a trace.

Su Pan’er swiftly followed up. The most important part of resetting the bone is next. The slightest mistake will affect whether Ke’er can walk normally in the future or not.

She concentrated all her attention on the broken bone, ready to start the restoration process.

Bang!

A loud noise suddenly came from the door. People outside swarmed into the house!
