"My Lord, listen to this simple woman, it was those people, those people who wronged my husband first, it really wasn't my husband's fault, they deserved to die, ah, they're already dead, so why must my husband's life be taken in exchange for those dead?"
The crowd: "..."
How can this woman be so infuriating, makes one want to clench their fists and punch her to death!
"Nonsense!"
The magistrate shouted once more.
"They deserved to die? How did they deserve to die? In what way did they offend you and your husband?"
Even if they had offended you, that wouldn't warrant death, would it?
And even if those people truly offended Forensic Doctor Zeng, then Forensic Doctor Zeng and his wife should have brought the matter directly to the yamen, how could they take it upon themselves to kill as they pleased?
"Yes, yes, it was them."
Ms. Nie nodded as she looked towards the people in the crowd.
