Muniang's eyes widened in anger, this decrepit old man, unwilling to admit his own crimes, still had the gall to criticize their village.
Lord Lu cleared his throat and said, "Enough, enough, since the case is basically settled, and we're only waiting for the sentence tomorrow, let's adjourn for today."
Muniang felt incredibly stifled inside. Wasn't Lord Lu a clean official? How could he let that old degenerate off so easily?
Yu Ze whispered in her ear, "It's difficult for Lord Lu to make a judgement on this matter. After all, Mr. Gao was only disciplining his student, and the use of the cane has always been the norm, not something that can get you convicted in the County Government Office, since there's no law against it."
Muniang puffed out her cheeks angrily, "So we just let him off like that? How cheap!"
"His reputation has been largely destroyed today, his official career will likely not go smoothly hereafter."
