Gao Qingyuan was frightened. He thought Wang Zefang was helping him get away with the crime, but he didn't expect that he was actually asked to plead guilty.
It was true that he killed the person. He was also impulsive at the time, and he never thought about killing anyone.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Zefang said: "Why, do you want to try the torture tools used by the Yamen to deal with prisoners before you commit them?"
Gao Qingyuan was startled and he said hurriedly: "Cousin, I am your cousin."
Wang Zefang snorted coldly: "So what? Don't say you are my cousin, even if I kill someone, I will pay with my life."
As he spoke, he looked at Hongying and Mother He and asked, "I'll ask you again, did you see Gao Qingyuan committing the murder?
If you dare to deceive and cover the murderer, you are equivalent to an accomplice, so you must think clearly."
Hongying and Mama He were shocked. They originally thought that Wang Zefang would turn to Gao Qingyuan to help him get away with his crime, but they didn't expect that he had no such plan at all.
The two of them did not dare to hide anything anymore and changed their confessions one after another, confirming that Qing Qingyuan had indeed killed someone and was not the one who bumped into Zhao Yaozu.
As the two of them recanted their confessions, witnesses one after another came forward to testify.
The situation took a turn for the worse for Gao Yuanyuan, and he was in a state of confusion for a moment. His cousin was clearly planning to kill him.
Wang Zefang glanced at him and asked: "Qing Qingyuan, do you have anything else to say?"
Gao Qingyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at him and said, "I want to see my uncle."
Wang Zefang said coldly: "It's useless for you to see anyone. No one can save you now."
He waved his hand and said to the officer: "Take the person down and kill him in three days."
The officer stepped forward and was about to arrest him. Unexpectedly, Qing Qingyuan suddenly shouted: "Wang Zefang, you are treacherous. You clearly ordered me to kill Zhao Yaozu, but now you want me to bear the crime alone. Even if I die, you will still hold me back."
With you."
He said to the people around him: "It was Wang Zefang who asked me to kill him. The Zhao family had a long-standing rift with him, and he had a grudge in his heart, so he ordered me to commit the murder.
He said he would protect me, but he broke his promise and even wanted to kill me."
When Ye Xiuchen saw Qing Qingyuan suddenly bite Wang Zefang, he knew that something was not good.
He naturally believes in Wang Zefang, but the people may not believe it.
As expected, because of Qing Yuan's few words, everyone watching the excitement started pointing.
When Mr. Zhao heard that Gao Qingyuan was ordered by Wang Zefang, he was even more excited: "As expected, it was you who asked Gao Qingyuan to kill my son. Even if I sue you to the capital, I won't let you go."
Wang Zefang's face turned green with anger. He clasped his hands and said in a deep voice: "I didn't. It was Gao Qingyuan who slandered me."
Mr. Zhao said: "Everyone knows that this Qingyuan is your cousin. If he had not suffered great injustice, how could he testify against you in vain of his brotherly love?
You must have ordered him to kill someone, and you promised to help him exonerate him but failed to do so."
Wang Zefang laughed angrily at him: "May I ask Master Zhao, why did I do this? Killing requires motivation, why did I instruct Qing Qingyuan to kill your son?"
Mr. Zhao said: "Because my son has offended you."
Wang Zefang snorted: "If I want to offend you, it's me who offends you, the Zhao family. The last time Zhao Yaozu harassed civilian girls in the city and I punished him, you have always held a grudge against me.
Apart from that, I have nothing against him, so why would I instruct Gao Qingyuan to kill people?
Mr. Zhao, slandering a court official is not a trivial matter. I know you hate me, but it is not worth risking your life and fortune for this."
Mr. Zhao snorted: "I only know that Qing Qingyuan said that you instigated it, so you are suspected of this matter. I will inform the government and let him investigate."
"Why bother?"
Mr. Zhao looked up and saw several men and women walking in.
