Chapter 38 - II
Tan Xingwang thought, he still wanted to speak, so he reluctantly looked back at Jing Xingzhi.
Jing Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered what he had done!
Jing Xingzhi nodded quickly, and Tan Xingwang immediately turned back and followed Wang Xiang’s footsteps.
“Sir, I have something to report, and I also made a false confession!” Tan Xingwang’s words shocked everyone.
Wang Xiang knelt in the middle, crying and shouting for a long time. The people Shen Fang brought just now were still arresting Butler Zhang and He Zhifang, all eyes were on Wang Xiang, He Zhifang, and Butler Zhang.
Tan Xingwang, who was kneeling aside, was not noticed.
Tan Xingwang dared to move around in the courtroom, taking advantage of Shen Fang’s people to catch people and attract attention.
Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone came to their senses, the second person who recanted his confession came!
.
Shen Fang naturally asked Tan Xingwang to tell the truth, and then Tan Xingwang began to talk about being threatened with death.
Wang Zhuang, who was standing next to Jing Xingzhi, didn’t pay attention to what Tan Xingwang said.
Wang Zhuang was staring at Jing Xingzhi, as if Jing Xingzhi’s body would glow, attracting all his attention!
What Wang Zhuang was thinking was, what kind of immortal was Young Master Jing? Just trying to reason with people could be so useful!
Sure enough, the immortal said that people had to study more and read more before they could be hit on the head by the immortal, then they could be so powerful!
But there were still people in the crowd paying attention to what Tan Xingwang said.
For example, Jing Xingzhi heard Tan Xingwang told the truth about how someone in Zhang family used gambling debts to force him to die; he also heard Tan Mingfa and Mother Tan crying after Tan Xingwang’s words;
He heard Chen Fulang sobbing quietly while hiding behind the crowd…
After Tan Xingwang’s confession, everyone finally recognized a fact – no wonder Chief Fang fainted from anger last time, it turned out that the murderer was not the real murderer!
After further questioning by Shen Fang, it was clearly stated that Tan Xingwang and Wang Xiang were not the real murderers. Afterwards, Zhang Mingyu, who was wearing brocade clothes in the cell, was lifted up by the yamen servants.
.
Zhang Mingyu was wearing a brocade lothes, which was of course given by He Zhifang. It was of high quality and comfortable to wear. But this dress was eye-catching!
Wang Xiang and Tan Xingwang were both wearing prison uniforms with messy hair. A comparison of the two showed that Zhang Mingyu was living a good life even in the cell.
“This man is dressed like someone from the Flower House!”
“Nonsense, rich people don’t all dress like this. This man was brought out from the cell, not from the Flower House.”
“Then tell me, why isn’t he wearing prisoner’s clothes? Are you wearing the same clothes as those two people?”
Zhang Mingyu heard the commotion and saw Shen Fang in the hall, and felt bad in his heart!
Zhang Mingyu had been in the academy for more than ten years, and of course he knew the official ranks well.
People like He Zhifang didn’t need to be considered in Zhang Mingyu’s eyes; just treated them as equals. Only when he reached Shen Fang’s position was, He Zhifang worthy of Zhang Mingyu’s attention.
But usually, Zhang Mingyu didn’t pay much attention to Shen Fang. His brother was Shen Fang’s superior.
Who would have known that Shen Fang, whom he had not regarded highly in the past, would actually come to interrogate the case today? Shen Fang was still considered as Fang Qichen’s student.
He Zhifang couldn’t deliver the letter to Zhang Mansion, let alone Zhang Mingyu’s letter. However, He Zhifang didn’t state it clearly, always trying to persuade Zhang Mingyu while avoiding suspicion. This made Zhang Mingyu thought that nothing unexpected happened.
So now, Zhang Mingyu was dumbfounded… He just pondered a few articles in the cell, and when he came out, everything changed?
“Pa—” Shen Fang slapped the gavel hard. “Zhang Mingyu, do you know your guilt? You…”
Shen Fang began to interrogate Zhang Mingyu. Jing Xingzhi saw that the overall situation was decided and walked out.
Wang Zhuang wanted to follow him, but when Jing Xingzhi looked at him, told him to wait patiently. After hearing the result, he could report the good news to the teacher.
As for Jing Xingzhi, he went out because Chen Fulang outside looked like he needed help.
.
Mother Tan thought about the large amount of gambling debts at home and the news that Chen Fulang had met Tan Xingwang. She thought Tan Xingwang must have changed his mind because of this widow.
Mother Tan was so angry that she grabbed Chen Fulang and went outside the county government office.
At the corner of the county government office, Mother Tan looked at Chen Fulang with tears in her eyes and cursed: “You are the one who has made my Tan family uneasy!”
While cursing, she stretched out her fingers and pointed at Chen Fulang’s face.
“I’ll scratch your face to see what you’ll do to seduce people in the future!”
Jing Xingzhi felt a shiver down his spine when he saw this fight. Mother Tan’s nails were so long if she scratched Chen Fulang’s face with one claw, he might lose his face.
But the next moment, Chen Fulang’s actions made Jing Xingzhi’s feet shudder.
Chen Fulang was tall, and with his long hands, he reached out and grabbed Mother Tan’s hands.
“Auntie, please keep your mouth clean. Who did I seduce?! Is Tan Xingwang coming to my stall every day, or am I going to your Tan’s house every day?”
