Chapter 106.2: 判刑
[‘Sentence (somebody to prison’]
Waiting for them to get up, Chen Xing pointed at the increasingly pale Chen Ling Er and faintly asked, “Do you know this young lady?”
Several people followed his finger and looked at the place, only to see there kneeling a slender young lady, facing their line of sight, beside disgust, but also flashed a few points of guilty feeling.
The youths who were originally a bit scared because they came to the court, gradually calmed down after seeing her reaction. But very soon, the leader, the one who stared at Chen Ling Er, looked at her for half a day, and then shouted, “That’s right, I know her. She is the young lady we met that night, I absolutely will not make a mistake.”
Chen Xing heard his exaggerated shout, nodded, expressed very satisfied, then continued to ask: “Then you tell me, that day when you met this young lady, what was she doing?”
That young man heard Chen Xing’s question, immediately the details they saw that day, they said it out one by one, no longer daring to have the slightest concealment, “We were little far away from there, but still saw clearly that she was throwing things towards the river. When we went over there, she even seemed to be shocked.”
“Yes, that’s her, and even though at that time, the lighting was bad, we wouldn’t make a mistake in recognizing her.”
“I recognise her too. I remember she had a little maid with her. Oh right, it seems to be the one kneeling there.”
“Yes, it’s both of them.”
“And I remember that after they ran away in a panic, there was a fire in a restaurant not far away.”
“That’s right, I thought it was strange at the time, how could it be so coincidental.”
Few people spoke at the same time but others have heard it and understood the meaning, that is, Chen Ling Er indeed threw something to the river, at that time she was together with this maid. This proves that the maid did not lie, what she said was true!
After Chen Xing listened to the words of the youths, slowly walked in front of Chen Ling Er, looked down at her, looking at her bloodless face, faintly asked: “Now, do you still have something to say?”
Chen Ling Er looked at Chen Xing, just now, her pretense to be stubborn has disappeared. At this time, only a piece of hatred remain, she suddenly screamed madly at the moment, she rushed to Chen Xing, really unwilling as she said,
“Based on what, why? I am Chen family’s eldest young lady, I am the Chen family’s first born eldest young lady (born of a legal wife), why does he not even look at me? Why does he have to defend you like that?! I can’t accept it, obviously those are mine, rely on what all of it was taken by you?”
Chen Ling Er’s voice is full of madness, as if the animal was forced into a desperate situation, with the last voice ‘regardless of everything’ to state her unwillingness.
Chen Xing was shocked by Chen Ling Er’s outburst just now, he took a step back and looked at the frantic Chen Ling Er, whose heart still looked fluttering with fear.
All of Chen Ling Er’s resentment and anger ended up in the county magistrate’s slap on the wooden block.
Inside Yamen’s court, silence for a moment, followed by the County Magistrate’s majestic voice at the top, “Quiet! The criminal Chen Ling Er, trying to avenge others by arson, is already a great crime. Now even more, inside the courtroom, deflect blame from oneself with a dishonest story, trying to disrupt the law, she is even more guilty!”
The county magistrate’s voice resonated throughout the hall, causing everyone to look in his direction, only to hear him finally make the final conclusion and say, “Today, this official declares that the prisoner, for the crime of arson, shall be sentenced to five years’ imprisonment in a labor camp. Fellow company Cui Er, because of the merit of reporting and actively admitting her fault, is therefore sentenced to ten strokes of the cane.”
“The following sentence is pronounced, do people in the hall have any objections?”
The county magistrate’s gaze swept through the following people, whether it is a face of dissapointed of Master Chen, or the side looks ‘about to pass out’ Mrs Chen, she did not say a word either.
“In that case, come on, take them down for the execution ”
Waiting for the official to drag a pale Chen Ling Er, and the terrified Cui Er to go down, the county magistrate only then looked at the following expressions of different people and loudly said: “Well, this lawsuit ends here. Please leave the courtroom then!”
The moment the county magistrate’s words fell, Mrs Chen, who had already stood unsteady, supported by her subordinate, quickly went out of the door. Only those pairs of eyes, from the beginning to the end, are staring there, Gu Lang who stands there, inside his heart is full of hatred.
Just when the crowd of melon seed eaters (onlookers who are interested in the spectacle but don’t have anything knowledgeable to say about it) felt that there was nothing wrong today and they could go back to rest, the big boss of the Chen Family Restaurant who stood under the hall opened his mouth again, “Your Honour, it’s better to choose a day than to bump into it, there is another lawsuit between me and the Chen Family today, why don’t we deal with it all together?”
Originally because of Chen Ling Er, Chen Lao Ye who lost such a big face , in listening to Gu Lang said this sentence, his heart could not help but give birth to ‘heart alarmed, body leaping’ (Idiom : fear and trepidation in the face of disaster (frightened)).
