Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1637: Only Death Can Quell Public Outrage

Madam Xie was falsely accused of murdering Mo Xiaoqiang and was roughly restrained by two government officials, unable to move. Her heart was filled with anger, and upon hearing the county magistrate’s threat, she burst out: "You Dog Official, arresting people without distinguishing right from wrong. With officials like you, it’s no wonder there’s corruption in the Imperial court!"

"Oh my! You brazen woman, with death staring you in the face, you’re still being stubborn. Truly, you won’t cry until you see the coffin."

The self-important county magistrate was furious upon hearing Madam Xie’s insult. He raised his voice and shouted: "Someone come, this shrew insulted an Imperial Appointed Official. Slap her twenty times on the mouth."

After a while, no one came to carry out the order. The county magistrate turned his head and saw all his subordinates lying on the ground moaning, only then realizing he had no one to use now.

Having dealt with all the government officials, Xuexue leisurely walked over, coldly gazing at him and asked: "You are the newly appointed county magistrate?"

"Yes." The county magistrate responded, then sensed something was off: "How did you know I’m new here?"

"I knew the previous county magistrate."

"You must be disappointed. No one will protect you anymore."

Xuexue laughed, her tone full of sarcasm: "I abide by the law and haven’t done anything illegal. Why would I need anyone’s protection? Truly laughable."

"Don’t think you can deceive the Great Master. Your family has already aroused public anger in Mo Family Village. I came today to rid the people of harm." The county magistrate spoke with an air of righteous indignation.

Truly a Dog Official, judging without understanding, just based on Old Lady Mo’s few words, their family has become a menace?

And yet he claims to rid the people of harm, is he out of his mind?

"The Great Master says our family is a menace. May I ask, Great Master, what atrocious deeds have we done that require your personal intervention to rid the people of harm?"

"Those usual acts of bullying men and women, petty squabbles, the Great Master wouldn’t bother with you. But as for Madam Xie’s attempted murder of Mo Xiaoqiang, this Great Master will absolutely not show favoritism or obstruct justice. She must be severely punished."

"Whether my mother murdered Mo Xiaoqiang or not, let’s set that aside. But bullying men and women?" Xuexue smirked sarcastically: "Great Master, where does this statement come from?"

The county magistrate pointed at Old Lady Mo and said: "This elderly lady firmly told this Great Master. Would that be wrong?"

Upon hearing this, before Xuexue could speak, Old Lady Mo immediately jumped up, shrieking at Xuexue and Madam Xie: "Exactly, you are the scourges of Mo Family Village, utterly devoid of conscience. You don’t even spare an old woman like me, and have reduced me to this wretched state, clearly not wanting me to live, trying to drive me to death!"

To be more convincing, Old Lady Mo didn’t care about anything else anymore. She simply tore off the scarf on her head, revealing a bald, scarred scalp. While wiping her tears with her hand, she lamented miserably: "Great Master, look at this, that heartless Madam Xie, actually scalded all of my beautiful hair with boiling water. Such a malicious heart should be executed to appease public anger. High Official, you must stand up for us!"

Having said this, she covered her face with both hands and began to wail loudly.

Those who didn’t know the truth would really think she was the victim!

The county magistrate was among them, and upon seeing this, was very angry: "Look, look, at what you have done to an old lady like this. Don’t you feel any remorse?"
