The magistrate feels like he should punish Ku De Hua right now but he also feels that there is nothing wrong with what Ku De Hua said. Magistrate Dong looks at Ku Qiang Ren, the patriarch of the Ku family with a complex expression.
Ever since he became the patriarch, the family has stopped trying to join the government and all the family members who were in the government quit immediately as well. This merchant family should be of a lower caste and have lesser clout, yet the reputation of the family has been becoming greater as time passes.
As a magistrate, he is has been made aware of cultivators and cultivation so that he can pick out and promoting outstanding constables so they can be taught the <Dragon Fist> and be bound to the government. However, he has never seen a family being brought up by just one cultivator alone.
Proud and arrogant people are proud and arrogant because they either have some background or have achieved something, it is impossible for ordinary people to be proud and arrogant as they would be beaten up by other commoners. The second Ku Qiang Ren took over the reins of the Ku family, they started to focus on earning money and every member of the family learnt martial arts. It is unknown if all of them are cultivators, but it is a possibility. Now, they do not even need the help of the armed escort agencies to guard their wares and can be said to be a small army in Yao Feng town.
When Ku Si Le died and his daughter was abducted, Ku Qiang Ren was away escorting an important parcel or he would have slaughtered the entire Ling family. When he came back, the guards of the Ministry of Rites and him had a big fight and Ku Qiang Ren was eventually stopped by them. Magistrate Dong had to gather the city defence unit and the constables to put an end to the issue and forced Ku Qiang Ren to promise not to go after the Ling family anymore as justice has already been served and Ling Yi Sha was in prison.
Director Ling is fuming right now and he is staring at Ku De Hua fiercely. Judge Tang and Judge Cui are still happily munching on popcorn at my side. I wonder what they will feel like if they realised that they are eating the stuff that pigs and horses eat.
"Ku De Ren, tell me everything u can remember about that night and what u were doing in detail!" Magistrate Dong had no choice but to drill Ku De Ren who has already broken from the beatings he was given.
"I already told you what happened! Why are you asking my brother the same thing again!" Ku De Hua says in protests.
*Bang*
"Men! Give Ku De Hua another slap for talking out of turn! Slap him again if he tries to talk without being spoken to!" Magistrate Dong gives an order.
*Pak!* one of the constables slap Ku De Hua hard, but this time his expression does not change and stares at Magistrate Dong but he stops talking.
Ku De Ren watches his brother being slapped and gets even more afraid.
"We…we…we went out to drink because the judges told us that we cannot lodge an appeal without evidence and were depressed. Then we saw a black shooting star fly across our head and when we looked at the sky, it was bright orange!" Ku De Hua starts saying whatever he thinks of and it seems like he's talking nonsense right now so he doesn't get beaten.
