Just for giving simple testimony, he gets paid 300 coins?!

The coachman in the short jacket was overjoyed and was about to kneel down and kowtow to express his gratitude, but Qi Sheng waved his hand dismissively.

As he looked at Lin Tiangang, his expression turned cold, and he said calmly:

"As for you, just wait and see what happens to you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tiangang turned pale and was about to beg for mercy when suddenly hurried footsteps came from afar.

A servant of the Qi family quickly approached and, looking at Qi Sheng, hurriedly said:

"Master, the constable Wang has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng's expression softened slightly, revealing a look of joy.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly, invite them in!"

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and walked towards the courtyard gate without hesitation.

"Fine, I'll go greet them myself."

After saying that, he hurried toward the courtyard gate.

Yang Xiaoman's expression shifted slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to follow, but Yang Cong'an gently pulled her back and shook his head at her imperceptibly.

Just then, Lin Tiangang got up with trembling legs, scrambled to his feet, and knelt down in front of the two men without thinking.

"Please, gentlemen, spare my life! I was just doing someone a favor for money; I had no ill intentions whatsoever!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an scoffed disdainfully, "No ill intentions whatsoever?"

"Taking money to do favors without any moral compass is tantamount to aiding and abetting evil!"

As he spoke, he pointed to Yang Xiaoman beside him and said coldly:

"Do you realize that those two casually made-up sentences can easily ruin a person?"

"What do you mean by kicking her out of Yangjia Village within seven days? She was born and raised in Yangjia Village. What chance does she have after being expelled?"

"You still have the nerve to beg for mercy? Didn't you think about these things before? No! You did, but you were blinded by money and didn't care about other people's lives."

At this point, Lin Tiangang's face turned deathly pale, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

He was clearly rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

Upon hearing this, the rickshaw driver in the short jacket immediately showed a look of disgust, spat lightly, and cursed:

"What a scoundrel! How is this any different from murder for money? And he still has the nerve to say he had no bad intentions."

Despite the insults hurled at him from behind, Lin Tiangang kept his head down and remained silent.

Yang Cong'an smiled calmly, "But in the end, you are just an accomplice."

"The real culprit is still Chen. She instigated you to do this. If you were willing to be a witness in the county government hall, perhaps the magistrate would consider that you admitted your mistake and corrected it, and give you a lighter sentence."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tiangang trembled violently and fell into a long silence.

After a long silence, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Please rest assured, village head."

"Even if I cannot escape punishment, for the sake of Master Qi, I dare not conceal anything."

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Tiangang heard footsteps behind him, and he instinctively turned around to look.

Then they saw Qi Sheng walking over with a smile, accompanied by a dark-faced man dressed in a yamen runner's uniform.

This is clearly the same Wang the constable they just mentioned.

A flicker of fear flashed in Lin Tiangang's eyes. He abruptly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head even further.

"I have met Officer Wang."

Yang Xiaoman naturally recognized the other person and quickly stepped forward to greet him with a cupped hand.

According to Qi Bo, the other party was her biggest help this time, so she couldn't afford to be negligent in the slightest.

Yang Cong'an also clasped his hands in a salute.

Although he didn't recognize him, Wang Yan still smiled and returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute. He then looked at Yang Xiaoman, making no attempt to hide his amazement, and exclaimed:

"Young Miss Yang, I misjudged you the other day. I never expected that you would be so skilled at such a young age."

"If Brother Qi hadn't sent someone to tell me this, I'm afraid no one would have imagined that you actually dared to venture up Black Wind Mountain alone, not only taking the Third Leader hostage, but also defeating the Black Wind Mountain bandit leader in public and threatening his life to ensure your safety as you and your sister descend the mountain."

"This feat alone, at your age, is something that probably few people throughout history could accomplish!"

Hearing the praise in his words, Yang Xiaoman bowed respectfully and smiled, saying:

"Lord Wang, you flatter me. In terms of swordsmanship, I am no better than that bandit leader. I only gained the advantage of his underestimation of me."

"Furthermore, he didn't know my strength and made a mistake just now. If it happened again, I'm afraid I might not be his match."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's lips twitched involuntarily. After a long while, he shook his head and sighed softly:

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

"Speaking of which, I have met Butcher Yang a few times, but I have never heard him mention having such an outstanding daughter."

Standing to the side, Qi Sheng smiled wryly and said helplessly:

"Brother Wang, not only were you unaware of the situation, but I was also kept in the dark."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to ask Butcher Chen for a free trip that day. It was only then that I realized how capable my niece Xiaoman was."

While the two were talking, no one noticed Lin Tiangang, who was kneeling on the ground, his thin body trembling violently as if he were shaking a leaf.

He never imagined that the person he had paid 500 coins to throw dirty water at was such a ruthless person!

Despite being only seven years old, he was able to fight the bandit leader of Black Wind Mountain to a standstill!

Even more terrifying is that she even kidnapped that powerful man in order to save her own life?

You should know that Black Wind Mountain has over a hundred bandits, a terrifying force that even the county magistrate wouldn't dare to easily touch.

"That damned woman!"

Lin Tiangang cursed inwardly, "If I had said this trick was so tough, I wouldn't have gotten a mere five hundred coins."

Even if you offered him five taels of silver, he would have to think twice!

"By the way, I remember you said last time that the reason your sister was targeted by the Black Wind Mountain bandits was because your uncle interfered?"

Suddenly, Wang Yan seemed to remember something, raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Brother Qi, you sent someone to invite me here today. Could it be that there's been some progress on this matter?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Xiaoman subconsciously looked at the coachman in the short jacket not far away.

Before he could even speak, the man swallowed hard in fear and stepped forward to whisper:

"This humble citizen, Lin Dashan, greets Your Excellency."

Wang Yan waved his hand, then subconsciously looked at Qi Sheng beside him and said in surprise:

"And this is...?"

Seeing this, Qi Sheng quickly told the coachman in the short jacket and Lin Tiangang their identities.

Upon hearing that Lin Tiangang had nearly caused Yang Xiaoman great harm, Wang Yan's expression immediately turned cold.

Upon learning that the rickshaw driver in the short jacket was a crucial witness, his expression softened slightly, and he nodded gently, saying:

"If you were a witness, we could convict that couple."

As he spoke, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"I don't know what those two were thinking. They had such a gifted niece, and instead of currying favor with her, they went and framed her."

"Now that their deeds have been exposed, they've brought trouble upon themselves; they're reaping what they sowed!"
