Chapter 6: Trespassing into a Private Residence is Not a Crime

She tugged at Wang Lin's collar, her pretty face pale as death

The charming young woman still wore a top and skirt, her dark hair styled in a glossy bun, with traces of joyful tears on her delicate face. Her curvaceous figure cast a graceful shadow in the brilliant sunlight.

As a decisive criminal police officer, I am fully aware that the only way to deal with the wicked henchmen of the Zhang family is to make an example of them, otherwise, troubles will continue to arise in the future

Not long after, Wang Lin dragged the unconscious Gou Liang, who was covered in blood, out of the door, leaving a trail of blood on the ground. He carelessly tossed Gou Liang onto the street and tucked the blood-dripping kitchen knife into his waist. He then cupped his fists and loudly addressed the onlookers, saying: "According to the criminal laws of the Great Song, forcibly breaking into a private residence without cause is either for robbery or assault, and one may kill without guilt! I ask all esteemed neighbors to bear witness to this!"

He knows now

Wang Lin did not originally intend to let her go, but upon further reflection, he realized that the concerns of the young lady were indeed valid. The Song Dynasty had strict moral codes, and it was improper for an unmarried man and woman to live together. Moreover, the young lady was still a servant in someone else's household; if she were to be secretly kept at home or elope at this moment, it would be a serious crime

I am reminded once again of Tang Xianzu's words: "Love arises without knowing its origin, yet it runs deep."

The two embraced each other tenderly for a while. Pan Jinlian glanced at the sun and noticed that it was getting late. Concerned that Yu might be anxious, she decided to take her leave

The door was being kicked and shaken violently by several servants of the Zhang family, and it seemed they were about to break in.

Gou Liang grimaced in pain, howling in agony. Just as he was about to get up and fight Wang Lin, he was struck hard on the back of the head with the back of Wang Lin's knife, and then he kicked his legs and fainted.

A private courtyard with four sections, consisting of three green-tiled houses and one thatched auxiliary room, along with a small courtyard of about ten square meters, facing the street, is a typical residential building in Qinghe County

Wang Lin was not flustered; he pointed to the woodshed in the courtyard and said softly, "Jin Lian, there is a back door behind the woodshed that leads to the alley. You must leave through the back door quickly. Remember my words, be cautious when you return to the Zhang family. Allow me a few days, and I will definitely find a way to rescue you."

Wang Lin clapped his hands and, turning to the onlooking neighbors, cupped his fists in a gesture of apology, saying, "I apologize for disturbing you all; I will invite everyone for drinks another day to make amends." He then strode confidently back home and closed the door tightly.

Lin Lang indeed did not deceive the servant

It makes a lot of sense; Mr. Tang is undoubtedly an experienced driver

As he expected, Gou Liang's combat power was the same as Bai Er's, but this time his combat power enhancement was 0.5, which was 0.2 more than Bai Er's last time, clearly indicating a higher degree of damage.

For Zhou Ping, the head of Du Tou in Qinghe County, Chao Gai was as good as a rebirth to him, and the person that Lord Chao would save would certainly do so with all their heart and effort

Wang Lin, relying on the memory of a poor scholar, returned home with ease. The first thing he did upon entering was to push open the water jar in a corner of the living room, lift a few blue bricks from the ground, and rummage inside to find a bag of silver.

If we follow this line of reasoning, wouldn't the combat power bonus for murder be even higher... Wang Lin twitched his mouth

Zhang Niu and Zhang Bao's faces were ashen and pale, as they hid at a distance, blustering with feigned bravado: "Wang Lin, what punishment do you deserve for secretly harboring my family's maid and injuring my family's guard?"

Thus, in the morning, when Pan Jinlian took the opportunity to sneak into the prison to visit Yu while shopping, she heard that Lin Lang had been released without charge, and she was so overjoyed that she wept uncontrollably.

It is important to note that five hundred taels of silver is a substantial sum of money in the present context. As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill, and it will certainly enable the Zhen family to exert all their efforts in bed. In just one night, under the personal inquiry of the county magistrate, Wang Lin was corrected and released from prison the following morning.

The young girl’s cries had unknowingly ceased, her charming face gradually flushed with embarrassment. A pair of watery apricot-shaped eyes seemed to be half-closed, and her long eyelashes fluttered. She nestled in Wang Lin's embrace, no longer daring to raise her head, realizing that Lin Lang's hands were comforting her and had reached her most private area, making her feel as if she was melting into water

The wealthy families are hiring assassins to kill him, a deep-seated enmity that will eventually be avenged. Can one still afford to be lenient?

Two wounds, approximately five fingers wide and about an inch deep, gushed blood profusely, splattering all over Wang Lin.

"Zhang family's dog servants, listen to me carefully. If you dare to come and disturb us again, force your way into our home, I will chop down anyone I see!"

Nonsense, if you have evidence, go report me to the county office!

The onlookers were left dumbfounded; while it is true that such words were spoken, when did the cowardly scholar of the Wang family become so ruthless, wielding a knife to strike at others... The crowd instinctively shrank back.

Furthermore, the legal provisions of the Song Dynasty are very clear; he acted in complete legal self-defense

Wang Lin was covered in blood, and the scene was truly horrifying

Zhang Niu and Zhang Bao, initially fierce, were suddenly taken aback as the strongest fighter among them, Gou Liang, was knocked to the ground. Meanwhile, the seemingly frail scholar Wang Lin, covered in blood, held a sharp, gleaming kitchen knife upside down like a fierce demon. Blood continued to drip from the knife, instantly terrifying them to the point of losing their wits.

This is the dowry left to him by his parents, the entirety of the Wang family's possessions, which amounts to approximately one hundred and fifty to sixty taels. As for the silver he mentioned to Pan Jinlian that was hidden in the niche, that indeed belongs to the impoverished scholar, saved through his frugality and hard work.

What an arrogant dog, Wang Lin sneered. He was not a cowardly poor scholar to be easily manipulated. He went straight to the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife.

Those who are utterly wicked will not hesitate to act decisively when the time comes for their punishment, yet it is absolutely impossible for them to commit mass killings merely to enhance their own power

Zhou Ping can be considered a prominent figure in Qinghe County

Two people were shouting loudly about having committed murder, yet they kept their distance on the street, prepared to flee at any moment

If it were not for the involvement of Master Hu Zhen from the Qian Gu family in the Wang Lin case, he could have easily arranged for Wang Lin's case to be overturned with just a little effort, without needing to spend too much money

Pan Jinlian recognized the voice of Gou Liang, the guard from the Zhang family. This man was like a mad dog, biting indiscriminately. She became anxious, as she had secretly come to meet her lover from the Wang family. If the master of the house were to catch her, the consequences would be unimaginable

The matter of expressing gratitude to Wu Da for his assistance and the two individuals from Yuncheng County who came to the rescue can be postponed; it is imperative to first find a way to help Xiao Niang escape. As he was contemplating this, the courtyard door was knocked on with a thunderous sound: "You scoundrel, open the door, open the door!"

Pan Jinlian hurriedly left by herself

He took a slight breath, holding her tightly in his embrace, allowing her to lean against him and softly express the anxiety and restlessness she had felt in her daily life, gently stroking her delicate back.

This has nothing to do with trusting or mistrusting Pan Jinlian; when suddenly transported to a strange ancient world, how could he not leave himself a way out

However, precisely because it involved Hu Zhen, Zhou Ping did not dare to be negligent. After careful consideration for the sake of prudence, he sought out Zhen Er, the father of Zhen, the concubine of County Magistrate Song.

As Wang Lin stepped out, the young woman rushed into his embrace, sobbing and enveloped in a fragrant breeze

... ...

Before long, the sound of the courtyard door creaking open was heard, and someone entered; it was indeed Pan Jinlian.

The combat power has increased to 5, the health value has risen by 0.1 to 2.2, and the reputation value has been elevated to 3

Wang Lin's home is located in an alley behind Peony Street

As a prophetic time traveler, he certainly has many money-making ideas, but monetizing them requires time. The first issue he must face is survival; he cannot simply emerge from prison and become a beggar on the streets.

He certainly did not kill Gou Liang; it was merely to establish his authority. He only struck a couple of casual blows, which did not hit any vital areas, so he would not die.

Wang Lin let out a cold laugh, raising the kitchen knife and striking it forcefully against the wooden door frame of his own home, the knife buzzing loudly.

Before Guo Liang could even utter a curse, he was struck by Wang Lin with a knife on his shoulder, followed by another stab; it was as simple and brutal as that

Next door lives Wu Da, who sells steamed buns

Having money in hand brings a sense of calmness to the heart

Wang Lin is certainly not a novice, but the sum of all the women he encountered in his past life cannot compare to the enchanting young lady in his arms, whose soft jade-like warmth fills him with a stirring sensation from deep within his soul

Hu Zhen is powerless and too lazy to care anymore. In any case, he has taken the money he was supposed to take and has done what he was supposed to do. What can Zhang Dahu do? He can only suffer in silence.

Gou Liang kicked again, but the door suddenly opened, causing him to kick into thin air; due to the excessive force, he was tripped by Wang Lin's leg and fell flat on his face.

Outside the door, the guard of the Zhang family, Gou Liang, jumped up and kicked the Wang family's door with all his might, while two other servants, Zhang Niu and Zhang Bao, were cheering him on, causing neighbors from all around to come and watch.
