Chapter 1639: The Current Situation of Lin Family Village....
Translator: Lonelytree
Therefore, other people’s lives might get better and better, but they would only get worse!
As soon as such a condition came out, it was naturally opposed by a group of people. Of course, this group of people was actually the family members of the people who went to the capital.
Lin Yuelan looked at them and sneered.” Do you have an opinion? Alright, this princess will directly charge you all with the crime of participating in the slander of this princess and throw all of you into prison. Then, I’ll see if you have any objections! ”
She would not be so kind as to let them off if they had objections.
Therefore, those who had objections immediately shut up!
They knew that Lin Yuelan had a lot of power now.
If they were really beheaded, they might not even have the chance to appeal.
After Lin Yuelan accepted the apology of the entire village, she directly said,” Uncle Village Chief, on account of your face, this princess will let them off for the last time. If this happens again, I won’t just behead the culprit directly but implicate the entire village!’
Upon hearing Lin Yuelan’s words of ‘implicating the entire village’, all of them were so frightened that their faces turned ashen white. Some of them were even trembling in fear.
Because they had never thought that the crime of beheading the entire village would fall on their heads one day.
To them, they were just farmers, ordinary people.
Lin Yuelan continued,” I am the princess of the Guguo of the Longyan Kingdom now. To insult, slander and frame me is a provocation and contempt to the dynasty and His Majesty’s authority. It is not too much to implicate the entire family for such a crime!”
Although she didn’t like the title of ” Princess Guguo “, she would definitely make good use of it since it was already given to her.
Since Lin Yuelan had already set the conditions, she let them go. After that, all the villagers went back.
Everyone was terrified.
Especially when they thought of those who went to the capital but never returned.
At this moment, they could not have any objections!
They did not want to be implicated by those bastards anymore. They still needed to live!
After Lin Yiwei and the others returned from Lin Yuelan’s place, they immediately held a village meeting. In front of the entire village, Lin Yiwei stepped down from the position of the village chief.
He realized that he, the Village Chief, had been inadvertently protecting them. Lin Yuelan owed him a favor. These stubborn people wanted to rely on him, the Village Chief, to offend Lin Yuelan time and time again.
This time, they had gone even further. They hid it from him and colluded with Lin Laosan’s family to sue Lin Yuelan in the capital City for ‘disrespectful, unfilial, disloyal, and unjust’ crimes. Such actions made people furious.
This was no small matter.
They were going to sue the princess of the Dynasty!
If His Majesty were to pursue this matter, the Lin Family Village might be destroyed.
This was because the entire village was filled with those people’s relatives, and no one could escape.
He believed that if it weren’t for the fact that he and his family had done Lin Yuelan a great favour, Lin Yuelan wouldn’t have shown mercy at all.
Lin Yiwei said to the villagers,” The princess has already forgiven your mistakes time and time again for my sake. However, after this incident, I no longer have the face to be the village chief. Because,”
At this point, he paused for a moment and said with a very stern expression,” Because I’m here, I’ve made you make mistakes time and time again, and you’re still hoping for luck! This time, Lin Changzhi, Gu Sanniang, and the others were a profound lesson! Did they think that ants like you could move an elephant? Who gave you the courage and confidence? You’re simply ignorant!
“l can’t absolve myself of the blame for such a tragic incident. So, in order to prevent such a ridiculous incident from happening again, I won’t be the village chief anymore. Not only me, but my descendants will also not take over such a position!”
On the same day, Lin Yiwei’s resignation was like a bolt from the blue.
Just like what he had said, some people in the Lin Family Village had gone overboard with bullying Lin Yuelan time and time again. However, she had only given them verbal warnings. In the end, they were completely safe and sound.
The main reason for this was that the village chief had shamelessly pleaded for mercy from Lin Yuelan time and time again..
