The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 683 The imperial decree arrives (4)

Mo Yan seemed not to notice, and touched the big heads of the five beasts, and said softly: "You guys stand still and let Brother Guancha and Uncle Yang touch them. Don't run away again."

These words clearly seemed to be coaxing a child, but the four beasts squinted their eyes and enjoyed it particularly. Although they disdain to be touched by anyone except Mo Yan, in order to prove their innocence and to allow Mo Yan to take revenge on the six villains, they can only temporarily sacrifice themselves.

With Mo Yan's encouragement, several people placed their hands on the four beasts with trembling hands, and unexpectedly discovered that their fur looked tough, but felt extremely smooth, as if touching the softest brocade. In an instant, they understood why Mo Yan wanted them to do this.

Seeing the reactions of Yang Bao and others, the six people secretly thought something was wrong. Before they could raise any questions, they shouted to Mo Qingze: "The evidence has been produced. Those who know the truth should pay the money immediately. Otherwise, don't blame our brother." The two of you will find noble people to make the decision, and then your family will really no longer be able to live a good life."

Mo Qingze, who was determined to hear this threat, almost laughed out of anger: "Hmph, I would like to see how the so-called noble person in your mouth makes our family have a hard time."

When things have reached this point, instead of quickly finding a way out, these people even want to extort money. I don't know if they are too stupid or because they have too much confidence in the noble person they call them.

At this time, the leading officer stepped in and scolded the six people with a straight face: "You framed the Five Beasts first, blackmailed the Mo family last, and now you dare to threaten them. Who gave you the courage?"

The six people were unaware of the sudden attack by the leading officer. After panicking, they began to act shamelessly: "Who said we framed a few beasts and blackmailed and threatened the Mo family? The injuries on our brothers are still there. We can't do it ourselves." Did you injure yourself? The official official has received benefits from the Mo family, so you can't tell lies with your eyes open!"

"That's it, what benefit does the Mo family give you to protect you like this? Don't forget what your family told you when you came here!"

The six people tried to bully the leading officer with every word, including inducements and threats. The leading officer was so angry that he wanted to have his more than a dozen brothers tie them all up, hang them up and beat them up.

Before the leader came, the superiors did hint that if the beast hurt someone, no matter what the relationship between the Mo family and the second master of the Han family was, they would dutifully catch the beast and negotiate compensation, but now this The matter was purely frame-up and blackmail, so how could he start?

When he spoke for the Mo family, he really wanted to make the Mo family owe him a favor through this matter, and then gain the favor of Master Han, and maybe get some benefits. But he is selfish and will not do anything that violates his conscience.

Being threatened by these scoundrels at this time, it's strange to feel happy.

While the leading officer was competing with the six scoundrels, Mo Yan took four handfuls of hair and gave them to the villagers who had the most doubts outside the door, letting them judge for themselves. Not only could he slap them in the mouth, but it would also dissuade the villagers. The best way to deal with doubts about the Five Beasts.

The villagers took the hair and couldn't wait to imitate Yang Bao and the village elders, comparing it with the hair of the four beasts. As a result, without Mo Yanduo's explanation, they knew that what they were holding was fake hair, and their expressions suddenly turned ugly. No matter how much I wanted to take advantage of this to overwhelm the Mo family, I didn't dare to utter another word of doubt.

The six scoundrels refused to give up. They waved their scarred arms and insisted that the five beasts had done it.

Mo Yan had successfully dispelled the doubts of the villagers. He was impatient to talk to them anymore, so he directly called the five beasts and asked them to stretch out their claws and show their teeth for comparison in public.

As a result, no matter whether it was bite marks or scratches, they did not match the teeth and claws of the five beasts!

Facts speak louder than words, and the arrogance of those scoundrels suddenly disappeared. When they heard that Mo Yan was going to go to the Yamen to sue them for blackmail, they actually thought of defeating them and accused the Mo family of secretly raising five animals: "Brothers, There are people behind this, so those who know how to do it will let us go, otherwise when the time comes, the matter of you raising these beasts privately will be revealed to the Holy One, and your whole family will die!"

At that time, the late emperor ordered that any wild beasts that trespass or cause harm to the people would be dealt with by the government. This "disposal" includes not only ownerless beasts, but also beasts raised by humans.

Of course, it is okay for a wealthy family to keep a few ferocious beasts for fun, as long as no lives are lost. Ordinary people cannot. Once discovered, not only the beasts raised will be handed over to the government for disposal, but also the people who raise them will be punished, ranging from fines of silver to short-term imprisonment in severe cases. The standard of judgment is whether the beast hurts or harms people.

If there is really a noble person behind these scoundrels who can see the holy face, it goes without saying that he must have the ability to put pressure on Jing Zhaoyin and increase the punishment on the Mo family. A prisoner cannot escape. The only person detained was the head of the family, Mo Qingze. If he was forced to work in the most painful, tiring and dangerous mine, he might even lose his life.

When Mo Yan heard this sinister threat, he wished he could really ask the five beasts to rush up and bite their necks off. She is not afraid of the so-called nobles behind them, but her family is her enemy. Even if this threat does not cause harm to her family, she is still extremely angry.

Fortunately, no matter how angry she was, she didn't lose her mind. Since these people admit that there is a noble person behind them, that noble person may be the person who is responsible. Even if not, he must have a close relationship with the person who is responsible.

Just when Mo Yan was trying to figure out who the noble person behind them was, a sharp voice sounded outside the outer door: "The imperial edict has arrived——"
