Seeing this, Lin An stopped being aggressive and turned to look at Zhou Lu, saying sternly, "Put away your little thoughts. When you were plotting against Ah Yan that day, why didn't you think of him as your good brother?

He is only fourteen years old, and you actually used such a vicious method to plot against him. You deserve it!"

Zhou Lu saw that his thoughts were seen through, his face turned pale, he sat on the ground, muttering "It's over, it's over..."

After pressing the handprint, Wu Yuanan glanced at Master Gao, whose face was as pale as paper, and said sternly: "Gao Renxing! As a master, you were bribed by Wang Fusheng with money and cooperated with Zhou Hai's family to frame your student Lin Shuyan. This is simply a disgrace!

If I let you teach again, I'm afraid you will mislead the students! Today, I will strip you of your title as a scholar and sentence you to ten strokes of the board as a warning to others!"

The students in the court immediately started talking when they heard this.

"Alas, Master Gao may not be able to be a master anymore."

"It's what he deserves. He deserves it!"

The people watching pointed at Master Gao and said, "Your Excellency is right. How can such a person be allowed to be a teacher? He will definitely teach the students bad things."

Gao Renxing knelt on the ground and covered his face with tears. He had studied hard for more than ten years, but now his fame and honor were taken away from him. How could he face his wife and children at home? How could he be worthy of the elders who had supported him?

After the yamen runner signed Gao Renxing's name, Wu Yuanan looked at Wang Fusheng, who looked grim, and Wang Xun, who looked pale, and said loudly, "The prisoner Wang Fusheng coveted the Lin family's seafood channel and bribed Zhou Hai to frame Lin Shuyan in order to achieve his goal. Now, he is sentenced to 20 strokes of the cane and then thrown into prison for five years! Wang Fusheng, do you have any objection?"

"Sir!" Wang Fusheng kowtowed to him and said earnestly, "Sir, I know I was wrong, but my body cannot bear the beating and imprisonment. Can you allow me to pay one thousand taels of silver to atone my sins?"

"This..." Wu Yuanan frowned slightly and glanced at Lin An and the others.

Wang Fusheng immediately moved his body and bowed to Lin An, saying, "Mr. Lin, I am wrong about this matter. I apologize to you and Young Master Lin as well.

How about this? I will compensate you with one thousand taels of silver, and if you let me go, I promise that I will never provoke the Lin family again, and I will never have any thoughts that I shouldn't have. How about this?"

"Hmph, our Lin family doesn't need your one thousand taels of silver. I just want justice for my son!" Lin An shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.

Wang Fusheng saw that Lin An was so disrespectful that the sincerity on his face cracked a little, but when he thought of what Brother Wenshan had sent yesterday, he immediately restrained his expression and gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Lin, if you are willing to let me go today, on top of the 1,000 taels of silver, I will give the Lin family a silver shop on Wenhua Street as compensation. What do you think?"

Lin Shuyan, who was behind Lin An, heard this and his eyes lit up. He immediately tugged at Lin An's sleeve and whispered, "Dad, agree to it. The silver shop is good and my sister will definitely like it!"

Lin An and Li looked at each other, "Ah Yan, are you sure you want to agree to this?"

"Well, agree to it. Let him go this time. If they still can't figure it out, humph!"

Lin Shuyan stepped forward, pulled off the jade pendant from his waist, squeezed it tightly, and then stretched his hand out in front of Wang Fusheng, only to see that the originally intact jade pendant had turned into pieces.

Except for Wu Yuanan and Lin An, everyone else present was stunned, and Wang Fusheng's face turned pale.

Lin Shuyan looked at the crowd's reactions with satisfaction, and before he was done, he added another powerful blow.

"Alas, it's a pity that I'm still not as good as my elder brother and younger sister. If my elder brother were to pinch it like this, it would all be powder.

Dad, it seems that I have been a little slack in my martial arts training recently. I am afraid that you and mom are better than me. "

This time, even Wu Yuanan was a little surprised. He had always thought that Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin only knew some Kung Fu, but it turned out that all five members of their family were masters.

Wang Fusheng's forehead was already covered with sweat at this time. Rich people like them valued their lives the most, so they would never provoke two types of people: one was government officials, and the other was people from the martial arts world.

He never expected that the Lin family, whom he thought was an ordinary family, was actually a family of martial arts masters.

After shocking Wang Fusheng, Lin Shuyan accepted his compensation, and Wu Yuanan didn't say anything. After all, if the people don't report it, the officials won't investigate it.

As for Wang Xun, it was found out that he was indeed unaware of the matter, so Wu Yuanan gave him a few words of lecture and then let him go.

Thus, the case was closed. The crying Zhou Hai and his son, as well as Zhou Ying, were dragged away to be beaten with a stick, and Wu Yuanan also announced his adjournment.

At the gate of the county government, Wang Fusheng said to Lin An with an embarrassed look on his face: "Boss Lin, I will send someone to deliver a thousand taels of silver notes and the silver shop's deed to your house later, and the silver shop's clerks and shopkeepers will also be sent to you."

Lin An waved his hand and said, "Just send me the banknotes and deeds. I don't dare to take your people."

Wang Fusheng quickly responded, "Okay, I'll listen to Lin Dongjia."

Lin An had no intention of making close friends with him, so he quickly ended the topic, took Li and Lin Shuyan into the carriage, and left.

Wang Fusheng didn't look away until the carriage completely disappeared from his sight. He looked back and saw his fat son taking a nap on the stone lion at the gate of the county government office. He sighed helplessly. Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating...

In the flower hall of the Lin Mansion in Jing'an Lane, Lin Shuyue was talking to Qingzhi and Qinghe when she suddenly heard some noise at the gate. She quickly got up and trotted out of the flower hall. She looked towards the gate and saw that it was indeed Lin An and the others who had returned.

"Dad! Mom! Second brother!" Lin Shuyue went forward.

Lin An and Li, who had just got off the carriage, were overjoyed to see their daughter whom they hadn't seen for a few days.

Li came forward and hugged Lin Shuyue, scolding her, "You are finally back. Your father and I were so worried. You said you would come back after sending me there, but what happened?"

After saying that, he let her go and poked her forehead with his finger.

"Ouch, Mom, I was wrong..."

Lin Shuyue covered her forehead and pretended to beg for mercy, but her eyes curved into crescent shapes as she smiled.

Lin An looked at his funny daughter with a grin on his face, and finally he felt relieved.

"Sister, we have good news to tell you!" Seeing that he couldn't get a word in, Lin Shuyan shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Lin Shuyue looked at her second brother who looked very proud, and said with a smile: "Is the case closed? It seems that the Wang family should have given a good compensation."

"Huh? How do you know?" Lin Shuyan asked curiously. Lin An and Li were also a little confused.

Lin Shuyue pulled Li towards the flower hall while explaining, "To put it simply, this case is that Wang Fusheng instructed Zhou Hai to plot against my second brother, and it didn't succeed, so at most he will be beaten with a stick and imprisoned for a few years.

However, in our Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as it does not involve human life, silver can be used to atone the sin after obtaining the consent of the victim.

With Wang Fusheng's behavior, he certainly can't bear this hardship, so he will definitely ask our family for compensation and atone his sins with silver.

Looking at my second brother's expression, the compensation Wang Fusheng gave should be quite good."
