Chapter 123 Opportunity_1
"Uncle Lou Zheng, do you think that at this point, Erlang Ma could easily escape?" Lin Ziyin asked with a faint smile.
"These thieves were provoked by Erlang Ma. If we don’t teach him a lesson today, I am afraid we won’t be able to live in peace in the Lin Family hereafter." Lin Changshu wasn’t willing to let Erlang Ma off either.
Lou Zheng sighed quietly, "Tie these thieves well, and detained them in the house at the entrance of the village until dawn, then escort them to the government offices."
"Uncle Lou Zheng, our Erlang is innocent..." Mrs. Bao protested, crying, and made a fuss, asking Lou Zheng to stand up for the Ma family. "Lin Ziyin, Lin Changshu, you are so cruel, you framed our Erlang, you will not die a good death!"
Hearing her foul language, Lin Changshu became furious, but he couldn’t lay a hand on a weak woman, so he just stood aside and blew off steam with Wu Dayou.
"With the government presiding over this, whether Erlang Ma is wronged or not will be determined by the magistrate." Lin Ziyin stared at her with a straight face, "The Lin Family wouldn’t dare to falsely accuse someone in front of all these people, and I don’t think the Lin Family would benefit from doing so?"
Mrs. Bao glared at her in response, "You’re just jealous that our Gouzi has beaten your brother and nephew, you black-hearted beast."
"Who is black-hearted, only they know. If you feel wronged, you can follow these thieves to the government offices tomorrow to proclaim your complaints." Lin Ziyin spoke calmly, "By the way, I heard that whoever plots the crime is considered the mastermind, and they are punished more severely if a life is lost. But it seems no serious harm has been done today, you thieves are lucky. But there must be a mastermind, is it you or him?"
She pointed casually at two of the thieves.
"The idea was Erlang Ma’s. He is the mastermind, and we are just accomplices." The thieves were not stupid. After hearing her words, they quickly blamed all responsibilities on the fugitive Erlang Ma.
