Chapter 1007: Too quick confession

Everyone in the village was stunned as they did not think that Yu Dong would really call the Yamen officers. Even the head of the guards was stunned as she thought that someone called her to arrest Yu Dong instead of the other way around.          

With her lips curling at the sight of the Peng family shivering she added, " They also slandered me and Magistrate Li!"      

Upon hearing Magistrate Li\'s name, the head guard\'s expression changed as she turned to look at Peng Jing and asked, " Is this true, you slandered an honest official?"      

Peng Jing was already scared stiff when she saw the Yamen officers and thus when Yu Dong stated that she had slandered Magistrate Li, her entire head buzzed and then she stated, " No of course not! Yu Dong quit slandering me, When did I slander Magistrate Li? You are simply lying!"      

" Am I? Peng Jing, you accused me of betraying the expectations of the villagers despite knowing that Magistrate Li was the one who gave me the responsibility of taking care of this village as well as developing it. Questioning me is similar to questioning Magistrate Li! Don\'t you know that when a commoner questions an official chosen by the Empress, she is questioning the Empress herself!" Yu Dong turned to look at the Head officer of the Yamen and asked, " Did I say anything wrong?"     

" No, there is nothing wrong but what do you mean by you were chosen by the Magistrate ?" The head guard asked while looking at Village head Gu whom she knew.      

"It is like this Head Guard Xue," Village head Gu then started explaining the entire situation to Head Guard Xue as she stated, " And because of that the Magistrate asked Yu Dong to become the owner of this village and then help us rise from poverty but Peng Jing did not want to believe on Yu Dong. She said that Yu Dong was cheating the villagers and then questioned her. She also brought her family and attacked Yu Dong\'s family when Yu Dong was not at home," Village head Gu shook her head and then turned to look at Yu Dong who nodded her head and thus continued.      

" Look at the elderlies of the Yu house they were punched and stomped on, they are past seventy already is this how they should be treated? Not only that even a young child below the age of ten was beaten up by their family along with a young girl who is yet to reach adulthood. They kicked and assaulted the Yu family members along with some villagers. As for Yu Dong\'s fiancé, Peng Jing called him a mer wh*re and then her husband smashed Xiao Jiao\'s head with a stone causing him to nearly die as his hit nearly missed Xiao Hua\'s eye."      

" Head Guard, I can assure you that we only acted in self-defence as they were the ones who made the first move, neither of us was the one who attacked them first, it was their family who tried to get away with an intentional murder!" Yu Dong stated firmly. " If not for my family retaliating and the villagers helping them then who knows what I would have seen upon returning! I also have a pregnant mer at home because of them who knows how distressed and scared he must have been what if something happened to him because of these people\'s actions? Head Guard Xue, please arrest these people who not only broke the laws but also slandered an honest official!"      

Head Guard Xue frowned as she turned to look at the Peng family, though the matter of a brawl could be solved easily. The fact these people slandered Magistrate Li…this was something that can not be treated lightly and thus she said heavily, " You all get up from the ground."      

Peng Jing and her sisters thought that Head Guard Xue wanted to arrest them and were thus scared out of their wits. They were clearly here to make Yu Dong pay them compensation why should they go to the Yamen?      

One of the sisters thus couldn\'t help but say, " W..We did not mean to. We were just …We were just casually talking among ourselves. We have no intention of doubting Magistrate Li, it\'s just a misunderstanding."      

The officers: "…"      

Was there any point in saying this now? They were originally thinking of just bringing the Peng sisters and their mers back with them because they wanted to make them confess but now that one of them had already confirmed Yu Dong\'s words there was no need for them to go through the song and dance.      

Head Guard Xue\'s expression changed and she then turned to look at the people of the Peng family as she sternly said, " Do you think that there is no law? It\'s clearly stated by the officers that trying to kill someone or hitting them is against the law. How can you even think of getting away without paying for consequences? Since you have broken the law you need to come with us to the Yamen. We will decide your punishment after we are done listening to the testimonies of the villagers."      

This time the Peng family really panicked and they hurriedly pulled away from Peng Jing. The elder sister Peng said, " We did not mean to hurt Yu Dong and her family, Head Guard. My sister told me that she was going to make Yu Dong cough fifty taels and thus we followed!"
