1892 Chapter 1892-arrest
After a while, the bailiffs from the capital governor’s office came to arrest them.
They said they were going to arrest people, but they didn’t dare to actually arrest them. One was the wife of the Duke Zhenguo’s mansion, one was the mother-in-law of the Duke Zhenguo and a favorite of the Empress, and the other was even more incredible. She was the grandmother of Princess Xinxin, who had helped the great Zhou develop to the West, and the mother of the emperor’s favorite scholar, Lord Gu.
In any case, no one dared to offend the bailiffs.
They couldn’t afford to offend the three of them, and they didn’t dare to make peace, so they could only do things officially. They would take the man to the Yamen and wait for the Lord to make a decision.
The bailiff brought the three ladies along as they walked on the streets, attracting the attention of the commoners as they pointed at them.
The Lin family had never been so embarrassed in her life. Even when she had confronted these two old things twenty years ago, these two old things had concentrated their firepower on the country guarding Duke.
Grandma Gu was very calm, as if she were walking with Grandma Xiao.
Only grandma Xiao was happier. Looking at the confused faces of the people, grandma Xiao began to tell them in a loud voice.
The two old women were so unlucky. They were afraid in front of the high Duke’s wife, but they believed that there was justice in this world!
Blah, blah, blah.
She told him the cause and effect of the matter, and even her identity.
Now that the Lin family had fallen, the people were afraid of the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, but wasn’t old lady Xiao the Duke Zhengguo’s mother-in-law?
The country guarding duke’s son didn’t die, and he went to the West to make a great contribution. Now, was this second wife still bullying the parents and son of the first wife? It’s not right, it’s too not right.
Many of the locals in the capital who were over 30 years old were fortunate enough to witness the two women beating the Duke of Zhenguo in the street twenty years ago. No one in the Yamen dared to stop them.
At that time, due to the Lin family’s influence, the Zhou family was just a merchant family. Therefore, no one dared to discuss it like this.
It was different now. The old lady of the Zhou family had superb medical skills and had won the appreciation of the Empress. The son of Duke Zhengguo had also made a great contribution, so the people believed that no one would stop them no matter what they said.
One by one, they began to talk about all kinds of past events.
Today, Lin Shi finally understood that no matter if they were from rich or poor families, as long as they were human, most of them would be like this. They would bully the weak and fear the strong. All of them had no backbone.
Why didn’t these people appear to speak up for Zhou Yujia back then? It was because they were afraid of the Lin family’s power.
Now that Zhou Yujia’s son had made a name for himself, did he dare to say all these things?
She should have killed Zhou Yujia’s little sword seed back then! Why did they let him go to Yuzhou and give him the chance to cause trouble?
Madame Lin now deeply regretted not ending Lu Zheng’s life. If it weren’t for Lu Zheng, she wouldn’t be in this situation even if the Lin family had fallen. Without Lu Zheng, her son would be Duke Zhengguo’s heir, and she would be the old Madam of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion.
Lu Zheng, don’t come back. If you do, I won’t let you leave!
Lin Shi lowered her head slightly and clenched her fists.
Grandma Gu saw it from the corner of her eye, but she didn’t say anything.
Soon, they arrived at the Yamen.
The capital governor’s magistrate was surnamed Xu, a short and chubby man who looked very amiable.
He had no choice. If the capital governor’s magistrate wasn’t affable and friendly, he wouldn’t be able to survive in the capital.
Lord Xu looked at the three noble ladies who were being escorted to the court and smiled so widely that his eyes narrowed into a line. He did not dare to ask them to kneel down and announce their names.
