After the system ran, I took off with my family

Wu Yuanan knew in his heart that according to the criminal law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only Wan Peng could be sentenced to death. Wan Dafu and Wu Mei would at most be sentenced to a few strokes of the stick and then exiled to a place of suffering.

"Got it. Notify the Wan family to come to the county government office to collect the body tomorrow." Wu Yuanan suppressed the secret joy in his heart. After giving the order, he turned back to the study, burned the written file, and started writing the file again.

When the bailiff arrived at the Wan family to report the news, Wan Xue was scolding a woman who was kneeling on the ground.

"What are you doing? You can't even watch over a weak woman. Did you let her go on purpose?"

"Second Miss, we did not let the eldest lady go. We were drugged and passed out, and only when we woke up did we find that the eldest lady was missing." The old woman in coarse cloth kept explaining.

"Shut up, she is not a young lady at all. The Wan family only has one young lady." Wan Xue, dressed in red, stared fiercely at the old woman on the ground.

The old woman quickly admitted her mistake and slapped herself on the mouth: "Yes, Miss, I deserve to die."

Wan Xue's expression eased a little, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Butler Wan walk in absent-mindedly.

"Miss, someone from the government office just reported that...the master, the mistress and the young master are gone...and you are asked to collect the bodies tomorrow..." Butler Wan said with a trembling voice and fell to the ground.

"what?"

Wan Xue opened her mouth in disbelief, and then tears welled up in her eyes. Although she hated her parents and brother for being cruel, they were her loved ones after all. The good things her parents and brother had done to her in the past flashed through her mind, making her even sadder.

Wan Guanjia looked at the crying young lady, and suddenly an evil thought came to his mind. He was reluctant to hand over the huge Wan Mansion to the young lady who was just an embroidered pillow. So he should work harder and help the young lady to manage the Wan Mansion. When the young lady got married, the Wan Mansion would be...

Wan Xue was immersed in sadness, sobbing softly. She did not notice the distorted face of housekeeper Wan, nor did she notice the indifferent look of her personal maid Xiaohuan.

After crying for a long time, Wan Xue wiped her tears with an embroidered handkerchief. After calming down, she looked around and suddenly felt panic in her heart.

She originally thought that her father only knew about the crime but did not report it, and that his crime was not serious, so he should be able to be redeemed with money. But who would have thought that her parents and brother were all gone, leaving her alone.

In this world, the fate of an orphan girl is often tragic, not to mention that she is guarding the huge Wan Mansion. She is afraid that once the news of the death of her parents and brother spreads, those jackals, tigers and leopards will smell the scent and come.

But she had no idea that at this moment there was already a vicious wolf staring at her in the hall, waiting for the right opportunity to swallow up Wan Fu in one bite. Perhaps, there was more than one wolf.

In Jing'an Lane, after dinner, Lin An's family did their homework or practiced calligraphy as usual.

At this time, Lin Shuyue was talking to a little yellow warbler in her yard. Qinghe and Qingzhi, who were standing next to her, stared blankly at their young lady talking to a little bird. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, "The young lady is so amazing!"

"Little Yingying, thank you for your hard work." Lin Shuyue put some spiritual spring water in the palm of her hand and fed it to the little yellow warbler.

After the little yellow warbler finished drinking and flew back to the tree, she turned to look at Qinghe and Qingzhi, "The little yellow warbler said that the bad people who harmed you are all dead."

When Qing He and Qing Zhi heard the news, they were stunned at first, then burst into tears of joy, and knelt on the ground together, saying in a choked voice: "Miss, thank you..."

Lin Shuyue stepped forward to help the two of them up, touched their heads, and comforted them: "Now that the bad guys are dead and the great revenge has been taken, it will be a new life in the future. We must look forward and not let the pain of the past continue to bind you."

Qinghe and Qingzhi wiped away their tears and nodded vigorously.

Late at night, in her sleep, Lin Shuyue was floating lightly in the air, watching a group of little girls and three boys playing and running happily below.

They were wearing clean clothes and had innocent smiles on their young faces.

At this moment, a tall, dark door suddenly appeared in front of them. The playful children immediately quieted down and lined up to walk towards the door.

When they reached the gate, the group of children suddenly looked up at where Lin Shuyue was, smiled sweetly, then moved their mouths, said something, and then disappeared into the gate one by one.

After the children disappeared, Lin Shuyue woke up. She wiped the tears from her eyes. She understood that the children were saying goodbye to her in her dream, and the last thing they said was, "Sister, thank you!"

The next day, before the hour of Si, a large crowd of people gathered outside the county government office, including Lin Shuyue's family.

At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and Wu Yuanan, wearing a red official robe and with a serious face, walked out from the back hall and sat behind the desk.

"Bring the prisoner!"

Soon, several yamen runners escorted five criminals into the court, and behind them, six more yamen runners carried in three corpses.

The onlookers saw the bodies on the ground and began to whisper to each other. Only Wan Xue, who was squeezed in the crowd, looked at the three bodies with tears in her eyes.

Wu Yuanan stared at the three charred bodies on the ground, which were oozing with yellow water, for a moment, then he picked up the gavel at hand, slammed it, and loudly pronounced the verdict.

"Snapped!"

"The criminal Wan Peng killed 25 children. His crime was extremely serious and he should have been sentenced to death. However, he died last night due to his injuries. Therefore, the Wan Mansion must pay 200 taels of silver as compensation to the family of the deceased, and another 50 taels of silver to redeem the body."

"The prisoner, Wan Dafu, knew of Wan Peng's crime, but he did not report it and helped him cover up the crime. He should be sentenced to twenty strokes of the cane and imprisoned in the dungeon for five years, but he died last night due to his injuries. Wan Fu can pay fifty taels of silver to redeem his body."

"The prisoner Wu Mei, who was in cahoots with Wan Peng, instigated his servants Wan Quan and Wan Gui to arrest innocent children at will. He should have been sentenced to fifty strokes of the cane and exiled three thousand miles away, but he died yesterday from his injuries. The Wan family can pay fifty taels of silver to redeem his body."

"The criminals Wan Shan and four others, in collusion with Wan Peng, wantonly arrested children, resulting in the death of 25 children. They are sentenced to 50 lashes of the cane and exiled 3,000 miles away."

"The prisoner Wan Shun, who knew about the incident but did not report it, helped Wan Peng bury the body. He is sentenced to ten strokes of the cane and imprisoned for five years."

"Your Excellency is mighty!" Someone in the crowd took the lead in shouting, and then more and more people followed suit.

"My lord is mighty!"

......

At the location where the Lin family was, Qing He and Qing Zhi stared at the three unrecognizable corpses on the ground and burst into tears. Having witnessed the death of their enemies with their own eyes, they felt extremely happy in their hearts. The huge rock that had been weighing on their hearts also dissipated, and they felt a lot more relaxed.

After the court session ended, the onlookers left in twos and threes. On their way home, they kept cursing the Wan family, from their eighteen generations of ancestors to the second young lady of the Wan family.
