Chapter 186: Flattery

"It was him, this Lin Yun..." Zhang Xi, unaware of Pillar Iron's state of mind, assumed Pillar Iron was seeking justice on his behalf when he heard the question. Encouraged by this mistaken belief, he unhesitatingly pointed towards Lin Yun in the crowd, speaking in an accusing tone.

"Lin Yun is done for, his family is done for. We all initially thought that Zhang Xi was just charging him with excessive defense, not expecting him to openly say..."

"If convicted based on these accusations, hurting so many people unprovoked will not be a minor offense; the compensation expenses wouldn't be small either..."

Many villagers expressed their shock upon hearing Zhang Xi's accusations.

"Officer, this matter isn't as he described..." Upon witnessing this scene, Lin's mother and father rushed to intervene, their expressions filled with anxiety.

The crowd of villagers shook their heads, and their gazes towards Lin's parents carried a touch of pity.
