"This..."
The County Magistrate was stunned, his expression bewildered.
What Li Qing said was not nonsense. According to the Great Chen Law, if Song Yulian truly sold herself into slavery, the family patriarch killing a slave indeed constitutes a crime. However, it is not punishable by death, and if sufficient silver taels are provided, they might even avoid imprisonment.
"This..."
In the courtroom, upon hearing this, everyone understood the situation, and the room was suddenly in an uproar.
"So Song Guan killed someone?"
"Killed and buried the body, then claiming it was accidental?"
"Does the patriarch not have to pay with his life for killing a slave?"
"Such contempt for human life from the Song Family!"
"Aren't they afraid of retribution?"
"I've heard the Mountain God is the Song Family's ancestor..."
"Silence! Do not speak carelessly. It is these descendants who are unfilial, what relevance does it have to the divine beings?"
