CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER 330: THIS IS THE EVIDENCE

Pei Shu’er had a smile on her lips and said calmly, "May I ask, Lord, what crime have I committed?"

The government officer, WangLintao, looked at Pei Shu’er coldly.

"Trespassing on private property and occupying someone else’s property without permission, what crime do you think that is?"

Pei Shu’er was not alarmed: "This house is mine. I bought it for fifty taels of silver."

WangLintao spoke: "Oh? Let me see."

Pei Shu’er stood some distance away and displayed the house deed and land deed.

Upon seeing this, Liu Hongwang’s expression changed, and he exchanged a look with WangLintao.

WangLintao immediately said: "The writing is too small, bring it closer so I can see."

In fact, the writing was not small, and it was written with a brush, three meters away was enough to see clearly.

Pei Shu’er came over, Liu Hongwang secretly exchanged a look with WangLintao, and WangLintao was ready to act.

He was just waiting for Pei Shu’er to bring over the house deed and land deed.

Pei Shu’er stopped in front of WangLintao, the house deed and land deed were within easy reach for WangLintao.

"Do you see it, Lord? I am indeed the owner of this house."

The old couple beside did not dare to speak; only after being kicked by Liu Hongwang did they speak up.

"Nonsense... This house deed and land deed are fake, we never sold it."

WangLintao reached out to grab the house deed and land deed, with a scheming look in his eyes, yet his words were righteous.

"Since these deeds are fake, they cannot be used to deceive people anymore. We will confiscate them."

Pei Shu’er calmly avoided WangLintao’s hand and placed the house deed and land deed in her arms.

"If the lords don’t believe me, you can ask the government officer who handled the transfer of the house deed and land deed at that time. Your government should have records."

WangLintao realized that this Pei Shu’er was quite bold, even at this point, she dared to confront him.

WangLintao immediately said, "Since there is a dispute, the best way to resolve it is to go to the County Government and clear things up."

Seeing WangLintao’s demeanor, Pei Shu’er was in no position to follow.

Now there were witnesses among the people, but once they reached the County Government, all would be colleagues of WangLintao.

Even if they weren’t all bad, out of camaraderie, they wouldn’t bother themselves with Pei Shu’er.

At that time, she would be without help.

Pei Shu’er smiled warmly, but her attitude was neither overbearing nor servile.

"Lord, this matter can be clarified here. I have the house deed, land deed, and purchase agreement; there is fundamentally nothing to dispute."

"If you claim these deeds are fake, then the official seal on them can’t possibly be fake, right?"

Hearing this, WangLintao was at a loss for words. He hadn’t encountered such a bold woman in a long time, a woman who dared to confront them directly.

WangLintao shouted angrily, "Someone, arrest her for me."

The neighbors who had testified earlier also stepped forward, and Aunt Xu spoke a fair word.

"Lord, we testified at that time. Mrs. Pei did indeed give the old Liu couple fifty taels of silver. They signed the agreement on the spot and transferred the ownership at the government office under our witness that day."

Who would have thought, as soon as Aunt Xu said this, she provoked the officer, who swung a whip towards her.

Aunt Xu shrieked and dodged back. Just as the whip was about to hit Aunt Xu, Pei Shu’er caught the whip. Although she was still smiling, her eyes were full of coldness.

"Lord, Aunt Xu only spoke the truth. Are even honest words not allowed?"

WangLintao became even more annoyed. This young lady was eloquent, repeatedly leaving him speechless.

Now he was infuriated, only worried that the longer it dragged on, the more variables would arise.

"Someone, arrest Mrs. Pei and take her to the County Government."

Five officers approached Pei Shu’er, and Lin Yu, Lin Hong, and a few heated people blocking the door stood in opposition to the officers, refusing to let them take her.

WangLintao, infuriated, immediately drew the knife from his waist to point at them.

"How dare you obstruct us in performing our duties, bring it on, kill the others if you must, but Mrs. Pei must be kept alive."

The others rushed towards Lin Yu and his group. Lin Yu and others, mindful that the opposition were officers, just stood there refusing to let them take Pei Shu’er, but did not strike.

They had already been whipped several times but remained unmoved, like a wall preventing the officers from passing.

WangLintao also moved closer to Pei Shu’er; he was determined to have his way.

Such a beautiful lady also owned such a large store, surely she had considerable silver coin. Wouldn’t he then have both wealth and beauty?

Thinking this, WangLintao’s eyes grew even more sinister, filled with certainty.

"I advise you to behave and not resist, otherwise these people around you may lose their lives because of you."

As WangLintao got closer to Pei Shu’er, he felt his heart racing.

Just as his hand was about to touch Pei Shu’er, she slapped him across the face.

The air instantly fell silent.

The customers stared wide-eyed, some dropping the items they were holding with a "thud."

This was WangLintao, a favorite in front of the County Magistrate in Su County; no one dared to confront him.

Those who verbally clashed with him met miserable ends, let alone Pei Shu’er, who slapped him.

The customers drew back some distance, thinking it was a pity. This Miss Pei might soon end up in prison.

And such a good store, who knew if it could continue to operate.

WangLintao was furious; he jumped up in rage, his body jiggling with anger.

"Seize her! I want her dead!"

Pei Shu’er spoke calmly to Lin Yu and the others.

"Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll take responsibility."

Lin Yu and the others had been waiting for this. The officers had constantly been treating them like beasts to be whipped.

With these words, they couldn’t hold back, immediately rushing towards the officers.

They were practitioners, how could the officers be their match.

Until the officers were all knocked to the ground, WangLintao still felt like he was in a dream.

This young lady, how did she have the courage to face off against the officers?

WangLintao pointed at Pei Shu’er, intending to scold her harshly.

But Pei Shu’er immediately grabbed WangLintao’s finger, and with an over-the-shoulder throw, slammed him to the ground.

WangLintao struggled to get up, attempting to scold Pei Shu’er, only to be slapped back to the ground by her.

This woman, how could she have such strength!

Pei Shu’er said, "In this matter, whether you report it to the County Magistrate or higher, you are at fault. You know yourself how much bribery you’ve taken."

Pei Shu’er took out the land deed and house deed.

"These are the evidence."
