Li Hua and her two brothers grew anxious. "Sir, let's talk this out! Why are you arresting people?"
"Who broke the law? No one in our family did!"
"Sir, you can't be using your position to settle a private grudge!"
Just as they were speaking, Qi Lan's triumphant shout suddenly came from behind the house. "You sons of bitches, you really thought you could escape? We've been waiting for you here!"
"Deputy Magistrate, we've got them! These sons of bitches tried to run, but we caught them red-handed."
"Wrongfully accused? My ass! If you're innocent, then why the hell were you running, you bastards?"
"If you want to cry injustice, do it in the courtroom. Go on, shout it loud and clear. We've got the torture instruments all ready for you."
The Li siblings were all dumbfounded. They simply couldn't believe that the rich merchants they had rescued and brought home were really up to no good.
'How could there be anything wrong with them?'
