Without waiting for Lin Qing to think any further, the sounds of horse hooves could be heard. Before Lin Qing could go out and investigate, a few well-built constables had already entered.

The constable's face was gloomy, and he had a vicious smile on his face. He held the chain in his hand, and everything seemed to indicate something. It was as if an invisible hand were slowly tightening its grip on his throat.

"I didn't know that the several officials had arrived, but I came across some trouble, and the house was open. I don't know what business the officials have with me?" Seeing the officer who had suddenly barged into the thatched cottage, Lin Qing bent her body and calmly said. If it was the previous Lin Tian, he would have been in a state of panic by now, but from last night's dream, Lin Qing seemed to have unconsciously transformed, and even Lin Qing herself was not aware of it.

Several constables who had just arrived at the door cast their eyes on Zhang Hai, who was probably the leader of the squad.

Zhang Hai glanced at Lin Qing doubtfully. Her delicate body and bright eyes were too different from what he had expected. It was just that the person on the screen was him. How could he, a constable, decide that?

"Hmph, you are Lin Qing. Miss Xue disappeared here yesterday. Have you seen her?" Zhang Hai looked at Lin Qing with an unfriendly expression.

"I had a fever and fainted last night, I don't know …" Although Lin Qing was puzzled, she still had a bad premonition as she looked at Zhang Hai's unkind eyes.

"How dare you! How dare you say you're flustered in front of the eunuch! Take him down!" Before Lin Qing could finish, Zhang Hai had already let out a loud shout.

Seeing this, Lin Qing's complexion slightly changed. She seemed to have thought of something, and before she could make a move, several thick chains had already locked onto her.

"I really don't know what crime I have committed. May I ask for Your Highness to make it clear that you are not afraid of the law if you act in such a hasty manner?" Although Lin Qing felt that the situation wasn't good, she still couldn't figure out what was going on and could only speak up.

"Miss Xue Xian went missing near you yesterday, and you're holding Miss Xue Xian's jade pendant. You don't know anything, so you're obviously the person in charge of this matter." Zhang Hai shouted loudly, as if he was telling the truth.

Lin Qing was slightly stunned. She couldn't help but look at the jade pendant in her hand. Everything seemed to be fated to be the same.

Lin Qing felt that the constable was so rude as to use the chain to drag her out of the room. Naturally, she was unwilling to do so.

"Do you guys have any laws? You guys …" Lin Qing yelled out, trying to prove her innocence.

However, before Lin Qing could finish her sentence, a fishy smell filled his nose. Zhang Hai, on the other hand, had stuffed a stinky sock into his mouth before he could finish his sentence?

A fishy stench almost caused Lin Qing to faint. Lin Qing could no longer understand how foolish Zhang Hai's actions had been. Furthermore, from last night's dream, Lin Qing's mind was no longer the same as the innocent young man's. She already understood what was going to happen to her.

Lin Qing clenched her fist as she roared in her heart. She struggled with her body, but the chain that held her back continued to emit a deafening sound.

"Take him away!" Zhang Hai raised his hand and told the policemen.

"Yes, boss!" Several officers answered with respect. They then pulled Lin Qing by the chain and roughly pushed her towards the magistrate.

He kept pushing and shoving, and during this period of time, he even received a few whips without reason. A long whip mark appeared on Lin Qing's face, causing her to appear somewhat bedraggled.

Half a day later, Lin Qing was finally led out of the county magistrate court by a constable led by Zhang Hai.

"Mirror Public Suspended." These four words were written in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner on the county's plaque, seeming to ridicule something.

Without waiting for Lin Qing to stop, a few constables rudely pushed her in.

Upon entering the yamen, Lin Qing was stunned to discover that all the members of the magistrate court had been prepared. It was as if the arrival of her true master was all that was needed.

Lin Qing had a strong premonition about Yu Fa. It was as if she had slowly walked into a tiger's den. This strong uneasiness enveloped her heart, making her feel even more terrified.

"Ascending Hall!" A loud explosion sounded as the dignified voice of the county magistrate rang out.

"Mighty, mighty!" The constables immediately stood at their original positions, their voices loud and consistent.

"Bring the culprit, Lin Qing, up here!" The dignified voice of the county magistrate resounded from the courtyard, causing Lin Qing to involuntarily stifle her breathing.

When the constables who were pulling Lin Qing heard this, they were shocked. They roughly pushed Lin Qing to the ground and immediately said, "The criminal Lin Qing has been brought here."

As her knees collided against the hard ground, Lin Qing felt a cold breath lingering in her chest. It was so painful that she grimaced in pain.

"How dare you! How dishonest! Servants, beat me up!" Before Lin Qing could even catch her breath, the county magistrate's dignified voice rang out once more. To Lin Qing's ears, it sounded like a demon seeking her life.

Several constables quickly pressed down on Lin Qing. Lin Qing's arm was pressed down on the ground, no longer able to move.

"Pa, pa, pa." Ten loud and urgent sounds rang out on Lin Qing's butt. Under the ten staff strikes, Lin Qing's butt was badly mutilated.

Lin Qing's already frail body became even weaker under the ravaging of the ten staff. The ferocious expressions of the County Magistrate and other constables were still swaying in front of her. The resentment in her heart could be imagined.

"Your Highness Lin Qing, do you admit your mistake?" Just as the ten staff had finished, the county magistrate's gloomy voice resounded in Lin Qing's ears.

At this moment, the sun had already risen high in the sky. Under the warm sunlight, Lin Qing didn't feel the slightest bit of warmth, only a bone-chilling coldness.

"I, Lin Qing, do not know what crime I have committed. Please return me my innocence …" Although she felt the cruel reality that followed, Lin Qing still held onto hope.

"There are witnesses and evidence, and you still dare to say you're flustered? If you really think this is a play, then beat me ten times for it!" Without waiting for Lin Qing to continue her defense, the magistrate slammed his hand on the wood as he spoke viciously.

"If you wish to add to your crimes, why would you have nothing to say?" Lin Qing's already pale face, after hearing Lin Dong's ten strikes, lost all color as he spoke with a sorrowful tone.

However, Lin Qing's resistance was futile. The constable's strong hand pressed down on Lin Qing once again. It was ten lashes, heavy and anxious, without the slightest mercy.

Beneath the ten staves, blood and flesh were glued to his clothes. It was impossible to tell which was his clothes and which was his blood.

Under the ten staff strikes, Lin Qing's consciousness had already become somewhat blurry. The shadows of the figures in the great hall all trembled in Lin Qing's eyes, yet the ferocious smiles of the County Magistrate and the group of constables could clearly be seen in her eyes.
