Chapter 578 Nonsense
The carriage was not moving very fast, but it attracted everyone's attention.
The carriage finally stopped at the entrance of the village. The driver quickly jumped out and opened the door respectfully.
Then, a serious-looking man walked out of the carriage.
This person was none other than the master. His appearance made the originally noisy crowd instantly become silent.
Everyone stood there quietly, not daring to make a sound, and even their breathing was deliberately suppressed.
Their eyes were all focused on the master.
The old lady would raise her eyes from time to time, secretly observing the other person's every move.
There was an eagerness in her eyes, as if she was waiting for the other person to say what she wanted to hear most.
Finally, the master's lips, which had been tightly closed, opened slightly and let out a low and powerful sound.
"Recently, rumors have been spreading in Niujia Village, and have reached the ears of the county magistrate."
The master's eyes swept across everyone present, his expression sharp and cold.
He paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "The county magistrate has specially assigned me to handle this matter. He will never condone any evildoers, nor will he misjudge any good people! The treacherous and cunning will be severely punished!"
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but feel ecstasy in her heart. The joy was like a raging torrent, almost breaking through her throat and making her laugh out loud.
She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to suppress her inner excitement, fearing that she would lose her composure at this critical moment.
However, despite her efforts to restrain herself, the joy burned in her heart like wildfire, making it difficult for her to control herself.
She thought to herself, "Great! That bitch is finally getting her comeuppance! Let's see how long she can keep being so arrogant!"
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the old lady's face.
In such a situation, she dared not indulge her emotions too much, otherwise it might cause dissatisfaction from the other party.
So she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and put on a serious look.
Just when the old lady thought she had controlled her emotions, suddenly, she heard the master calling her name.
This cry was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly accelerating the old lady's heartbeat.
She couldn't help but feel a little proud, thinking: "It must be because I exposed the evil deeds of that bastard that the adults look at me differently!"
Thinking of this, the old lady felt even happier.
She raised her head, straightened her chest, took brisk steps, and strode forward with her head held high under the gaze of everyone.
The feeling of being the center of attention made her feel extremely happy and satisfied.
"I will definitely be rewarded handsomely later, maybe even a hundred taels of silver! By then, those people will surely be extremely envious and jealous of me!"
The old lady became more and more excited the more she thought about it, and the image of the one hundred taels of silver kept appearing in her mind.
It was as if the white silver had already fallen steadily into his pocket.
She even started planning how to use the money.
However, just as the old lady was immersed in her sweet dream, the lawyer suddenly roared: "Old lady Niu, do you know your crime?"
This sound was like a bolt from the blue, waking the old lady from her sweet dream.
The old lady was stunned by this sudden question.
She stared at the master with her eyes wide open, totally unsure of how to answer.
After a long while, she came back to her senses, fell to her knees, and stammered, "Fuck...I don't know."
How come this is completely different from what I thought?
The old lady began to wonder, didn’t she say she was going to give silver?
Why do I feel like I have done something wrong now?
Moreover, he clearly did nothing wrong. Niu Xiaoni was just trying to kill for money.
I did this simply to let everyone see her true face so that no more people would be deceived by her.
Although there is a little selfishness, it is not a big deal.
The old lady's face turned pale as paper in an instant, as if she had been slapped hard in the face.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the master in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
She really couldn't understand why the master would question her in public, and in front of so many people.
How can she hold her head up high in the village in the future?
She had never been so embarrassed in her life.
"Since you don't know, I'll tell you clearly!"
The lawyer's voice was cold and emotionless. His eyes swept across the old lady like a knife, making her shudder.
The master had heard about the conflict between the old lady and Niu Xiaoni'er a long time ago. Even if they were grandparents and grandchildren, so what? As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but this old lady... Alas!
At this time, the old lady had completely lost her former majesty. She lowered her head like a frightened quail, not daring to make a sound. She could only listen silently to the words coming from above her head from the master.
The lawyer cleared his throat and continued, "Mrs. Niu, you spread rumors and created trouble. These rumors have spread widely and seriously defamed Niu Xiaoni's reputation. Do you plead guilty?"
When the old lady heard these charges, she felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction and anger in her heart.
She suddenly raised her head, looked directly at the master, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Master, I don't recognize you!"
"Every word I said was true, how could it be called a rumor? I did this for everyone's good, and I didn't want them to be deceived!"
There was a hint of grievance and unwillingness in the old lady's voice.
The master's voice became colder and colder, as if it could penetrate into one's bones, making one shudder.
"The truth? Do you know what the truth is? Is what you see and hear necessarily true? Besides, some things may not be seen with your own eyes."
The lawyer then announced the results of the investigation to the public, his voice clear and powerful, echoing among the crowd.
"When the county magistrate heard about this, he acted decisively and immediately sent someone to investigate."
"After some in-depth investigation, we found that during the epidemic, Niu Xiaonier not only worked diligently and seriously, but also treated patients with great care and consideration."
"Her kindness and dedication have won unanimous recognition and trust from everyone."
At this point, the lawyer paused for a moment, then continued, "As for what Old Lady Niu said, that she took people's money and killed them, this is completely nonsense!"
His tone was firm and there was no hesitation at all.
"The fact is that the patient knew his death was approaching, so he took the initiative to give money to Dr. Niu, hoping that she could help with some of his affairs after his death."
