ALL NOVEL Chapter 32 - II
After taking two steps out, He Zhifang suddenly turned around and told He Tong, “Go and make arrangements for the person, don’t let Wu Qing know. That guy only wants to curry favor with Chief Fang and doesn’t want to have connection with me anymore!”
Wu Qing’s separation, He Zhifang wasn’t dead, of course, he could feel it.
Wu Qing was dissatisfied with him, and He Zhifang also thought that someone was sharing money with him, which was very troublesome.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have everything fall into his own hands from now on?
Moreover, Wu Qing always looked down on him, but he wanted Wu Qing to see that he could achieve success without Wu Qing.
.
Two days later.
The county government began to examine the ‘Ten Years Female Corpse Case.’
He Zhifang was sitting in the main hall, with an imperial chair on his left and right. Fang Qichen and Zhang Tong were sitting on either side of him.
He Zhifang’s heart was beating fast, and his eyes glanced at Wu Qing with some worry.
Two days ago, when he told Zhang Mingyu his idea, Zhang Mingyu asked him to act on both ends to deceive Wu Qing so that Wu Qing would not do anything bad.
As for the ‘murderer’ it was Zhang Mingyu who found him. He used to live near Zhang Mingyu’s home and later moved to the county.
That family had two sons, an adopted eldest son and a younger son who was born later. The younger son liked to gamble, and this time he owed a large gambling debt and could not afford to pay it back.
After people from the Zhang family found out the news, they took over the gambling house’s youngest son’s debt and threatened to chop off one of his hands if he didn’t pay back.
The first time he showed up, he made people bleed, frightened the family half to death, and shouted out that they had to pay back the money no matter what. But the money from the gambling house wasn’t easy to pay back. The debts were rolling over the debts, and even if the whole family was sold, they still couldn’t afford it.
In the end, people from the Zhang family came up secretly, and the couple gave in. Using kindness and righteousness, he forced the adopted eldest son to die for his younger son.
Ten years ago, the eldest son happened to be seventeen. He was a troublemaker when he was young, and had a somewhat naughty past. It was such a coincidence that he was not afraid of suspicion if he told it.
Everything was arranged properly, and the case was tried quickly.
He Zhifang’s trial of the case had never been so majestic. Every piece of evidence he mentioned was carefully prepared, making him appear extremely agile.
In the end, He Zhifang was stunned and shouted: “Tan Xingwang, you were greedy for Qi Xinlan’s beauty and secretly returned to the academy by taking advantage of the family’s quarrel. But Zhang Mingyu was always at home, so you didn’t find the chance. Later, you heard Zhang Mingyu and Qi Xinlan quarreling, you were even more unhappy that you didn’t get Qi Xinlan. So, when you were depressed and drunk, you told the news to Wang Xiang, a gangster you met in the county. Wang Xiang mentioned that he knew the bandit, and the two of you contacted the bandit, followed Qi Xinlan secretly, and brutally killed Qi Xinlan and his party!”
He Zhifang continued, “Later, you tied up Qi Xinlan and raped her in the old house of the academy. In the end, Qi Xinlan couldn’t bear the humiliation and hit the wall and died. You were afraid of feeling guilty and buried the body in the flowers in front of Qi Xinlan’s residence. Now Wang Xiang has confessed, and Qi Xinlan’s fabric has been found in the old house of the academy. The evidence is conclusive, are you guilty of the murder?”
Tan Xingwang, who was wearing prison clothes, knelt on the ground, with heavy shackles on his neck. He had a square face and thick eyebrows, and an old scar crosses the side of his face. He looked fierce like an ‘evil person’.
But Tan Xingwang was as obedient as a sheep. He didn’t argue or struggle. He only replied in a dull voice: “Young man… admit my guilt.”
When He Zhifang heard this, he felt happy and curled up his lips: “Just plead guilty. I judge——”
“Wait!” Fang Qichen shouted, interrupting He Zhifang.
Fang Qichen was so angry after watching the whole process. It would be okay if he didn’t know this person, but he knew Tan Xingwang very well. Although he looked fierce, he just had a bad temper. He was sensible before moving and was a filial child. After moving, he would return to the academy to attend classes.
And ten years ago, this child only knew how to play, and his relationship with Qi Xinlan was not bad, because Qi Xinlan could live with the child, and it had nothing to do with the love and desire between men and women.
“Tan Xingwang, how old were you back then? Can you still get the key people out of the hands of the bandits? Do they know what awaits them when Xinlan escapes? You think about it again, do you still want to plead guilty? Today you confessed your crime indiscriminately, and the person who killed your sister Xinlan will escape the crime of murder and live a happy life!”
Fang Qichen said, feeling uncomfortable and angry thinking about the murderer living a happy life!
In this world, could innocent people still be blamed for murder?!
His heart was broken. My Xinlan!
Why should she die in vain and not be able to catch the murderer after death and pay for her life with his life?!
But another burst of darkness suddenly flashed before Fang Qichen’s eyes. A few days after he recovered from his illness and returned to the academy, he experienced grief again and almost collapsed.
After two days of rest, he came out to watch the trial. The result was that he was still treated as a fool.
“Chief Fang!” Zhang Tong saw Fang Qichen throw his head back and was frightened for half of his life. Regardless of the fact that he was in court, he pushed away the helpless He Zhifang, went forward to hug Fang Qichen, and checked on Fang Qichen’s condition.
.
The outer courtyard of Huanshui Academy.
A strong man with a black face rode a horse and rushed directly to Liu Fang’s newly purchased yard, and pushed the door open with a powerful palm.
The black man yelled: “Young Master Jing! There is a problem with the case, and the chief has lost his case!!”
