Chapter 380 - 377: Ancestral Instructions_1
Bai Qingyan raised her eyebrows and let out a cold laugh.
"You think you’re worthy of my eldest sister’s attention?" Bai Jinzhi no longer regarded this Fifth Master at all. Just thinking about how this Fifth Master disgustingly occupied their ancestral home made Bai Jinzhi wish she could whip him a few times.
"You!" Fifth Master wanted to get angry but had to consider Bai Jinzhi’s status as a County Lord.
The victims whose hot spring village was forcibly taken by the Fifth Master of the Bai Clan immediately came forward upon hearing they would hold Fifth Master accountable. Kneeling at the six open doors of the Bai Clan, they cried out...
"Princess of Zhen, you must stand up for us poor and unprotected commoners! The Fifth Master of the Bai Clan conspired with Magistrate Zhou to falsely accuse my son of murder to seize our ancestral hot spring village. To protect my son’s life, I had no choice but to hand over the village; yet my son, feeling guilty, jumped from the mountain! Please, Commandery Princess, seek justice for us!"
The old man, with tears in his eyes, finished speaking, bowed heavily to Bai Qingyan, and kowtowed repeatedly until his forehead bled, showing the depth of his hatred.
"You’re talking nonsense!" Fifth Master glanced at Magistrate Zhou, thinking that the old man was bold enough to accuse even Magistrate Zhou. Surely, Magistrate Zhou would not admit to this, so he shouted in confidence, "You sold that village to me willingly and in writing! Trying to deny it now?"
"Old man, do not worry. I said it before, the Shuoyang Clan’s evil deeds over the years, I will ensure they repay them. Please, rise."
