Chapter 2823 The Real World 173

Lord Wang ordered to the attendant beside him: "Arrest those few people."

After the squire left, grabbed the few before they were ready to flee in confusion.

"Sir, we have to settle the following matters, and we must not let the people below have trouble. Otherwise, the people's daughter, as the person who provided the solution, may not be to blame." Bei Yutang reminded.

Of course the person who came up with her idea will be indicted, and as the official handling the case, he can't escape.

The two hurried downstairs, passed the angry people, and walked to the high platform.

Bei Yutang looked at the people who kept cursing and chattering, no matter how they shouted, no one listened.

Lord Wang was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"Can you solve this?"

"Let me think about it."

"You should think faster."

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Bei Yutang walked to the teahouse on the side, took a huge wine jar from their shop, walked to the high platform, and smashed it in front of the angry people.

With a loud 'bang', the loud shattering sound of the wine jar rang out, and the surrounding people all looked at Bei Yutang.

A chaotic scene emerged, an eerie silence.

Taking advantage of this time, Bei Yutang said, "Master Wang is here today. You can ask him any questions you have. It's useless to be noisy here."

One of the women said the latest: "Then let me ask you, are you women who want to let go of these snakes and scorpions?"

"Who told you that we would release them? There is no divine order, no pardon, and no one can escape the punishment of the law. Why do you say that and spread rumors here?"

The woman was dumbfounded, "This, isn't this what you said?"

"When did those of us say it? Who said it? You pointed it out." Bei Yutang demanded sharply.

The woman looked at the yamen in front of her, then looked at Bei Yutang and Lord Wang, and was speechless.

The most violent families around were also stunned.

Bei Yutang turned to look at them, "How about you? Where did you get this news?"

"We..." Several families became hesitant.

The outraged people around were also dumbfounded.

Someone said, "You didn't understand the situation and came over to ask for guilt?"

"Did you make a mistake, we made a fuss in vain."

"It's okay to smash people next time when you figure out what's going on."

In the face of everyone's self-blame, the faces of several families showed ugly and shameful expressions.

"Master, will you really not forgive their capital crimes?" an old woman asked.

"Without the sage's oral decree, how could I have the right to forgive. The old lady, and you, don't repeat what others say." Mr. Wang said displeased.

"It's good to have no forgiveness, and it's good to have no forgiveness."

Several families were relieved.

"This time I see that things haven't gotten out of hand. I won't hold you accountable for the time being, but if there is a next time, I will definitely be held accountable."

"Yes yes yes." Several families nodded in agreement.

Lord Wang continued to ask, "Who told this?"

The middle-aged woman said: "I heard a few women chatting when I was shopping for vegetables, and I learned from their mouths. I went up to ask if it was true, and they told me it was true. I hurried home and told my family."

"My family is the same. When I was going out, I met two passers-by and talked about it. I happened to hear that one of the female prisoners was the one who killed my brother, so I won't..."
