A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Chapter 173 - 173 Court

173 Court

The shopkeeper, who had been resting in the wine shop, was unconscious for an hour and a half before waking up.

When he heard this, he quickly packed up and went straight to the county office.

When he arrived at the county office, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying had almost settled the matter.

Before the shopkeeper arrived, Ning Yue did not expect him to run around with injuries. At this moment, she was looking at Huang Shan coldly.

Huang Shan actually made them kneel on the ground.

Jiang Ying sneered and asked him, “Where’s your county magistrate? Isn’t he coming out?”

“Is the county magistrate someone you can see just because you want to? Kneel down!” Huang Shan berated Jiang Ying.

“Since you say I committed a crime and wanted to bring me to the county office, what are you planning to do in the absence of the county magistrate? Who gave you the guts and the right? Do you still have the law in your eyes?”

“Here, I am the law!” Huang Shan shouted.

He finally saw that the two people in front of him were just ordinary villagers and knew how to put on airs.

He thought he had provoked someone extraordinary, but he did not expect it to be these two unpresentable people.

“I hope you can still talk like this when the county magistrate comes later,” Jiang Ying said coldly.

“Let me tell you, the county magistrate is not at home. He said that he would let me handle this matter. If you have any objections, go to prison and talk.” As he spoke, Huang Shan was about to take Jiang Ying and Ning Yue away.

“How dare you!” Ning Yue shouted coldly.

This Huang Shan was too bold. He must have someone to rely on. Otherwise, how could he dare to say that he was the law? He just didn’t know if the county magistrate was behind Huang Shan or someone in a higher position.

Huang Shan was stunned by Ning Yue’s scolding. He reacted for a while before coming back to his senses.

“You stupid bitch, how dare you talk to me like that? Who do you think you are?!” Huang Shan shouted.

“I’m asking you now. Are you afraid to wait for the county magistrate to return?” Ning Yue asked.

“Don’t dare? Why wouldn’t I dare? Since you want to die so badly, we’ll wait for his Excellency to come back and teach you a lesson! You’re just murderers. Is it wrong to send you to jail?”

“The county magistrate isn’t back yet, and you’re already planning to casually convict me. Who do you think you are?” Ning Yue asked coldly.

“You!” Huang Shan was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he held back. He looked at Ning Yue’s face and sneered. “You’re not confessing, right? When the county magistrate decides your crimes, you’ll know what’s wrong.”

“That would be best,” Ning Yue said.

Jiang Ying’s men were outside the county office. Ning Yue was not worried about what this constable could do to them.

Huang Shan waved his hand and called a constable over. He whispered in his ear, “Go and see why his Excellency hasn’t returned yet.”

The little constable responded and ran quickly out.

Soon, the young constable returned and whispered into Huang Shan’s ear, “Sir said that a noble called him out. He didn’t see the noble and didn’t dare to come back.”

Upon hearing the junior constable’s words, Huang Shan frowned. What noble person was in this town? Why hadn’t he heard of him?

He was about to ask what was going on when a man in black suddenly walked in.

“Who is it?” Huang Shan’s expression immediately changed.

This man in black had his head covered. It was impossible to tell what he looked like.

The man in black did not answer him. Instead, he came to Jiang Ying’s side and spoke softly to him.

Huang Shan’s expression became uglier and uglier. This person actually brought a man in black in. Who did he think he was?!

“What are you doing? How dare you be impudent in court!” Huang Shan sneered.

In the past, Huang Shan’s anger would probably make people afraid, but he had miscalculated again.

When Jiang Ying heard the news brought by the man in black, he frowned.

The man in black told him that the county magistrate had gone straight to the suburbs.

“Tell him if he doesn’t come back, he’ll bear the consequences,” Jiang Ying said.

After he finished speaking, the man in black walked out respectfully.

Huang Shan was dumbfounded. He kept thinking about this person’s identity and background.

When the junior constable saw this, he couldn’t help but tug at Huang Shan’s clothes and whisper, “Brother Shan, why don’t we untie this person?” This scene made him a little afraid.

“Let me tell you, this woman is a murderer, and this man is this woman’s lover. If these two run away, will you be responsible?”
