The law of Mo country stipulates that ordinary murderers shall be sentenced to imprisonment or above, and slaves who kill their masters shall be hanged.
As Shi Junfeng's personal servant, Shi Wang did not appreciate his master's kindness and instead killed him. There was no way he could escape the death penalty.
After Shi Wang understood this, his whole face turned pale with fright.
The fear of death struck, and Shi Wang suddenly found the courage. He looked up at Mo Junyang and asked loudly: "Don't you want to know the truth?"
He glanced at Shi Junhe threateningly, with an obvious meaning: He would die anyway. If he insists that Shi Junhe ordered him, Junhe will not be able to escape the relationship at that time.
Mo Junyang smiled, with a cold look in his eyes, "I will not accept threats, especially threats from a dog slave who killed his master."
Likewise, his cold gaze also swept over Shi Wang's family.
Before Shi Wang could understand what Mo Junyang meant, the middle-aged woman gradually understood something from their conversation.
The middle-aged woman wiped away her tears while looking at Shi Wang in disbelief and asked uncertainly: "Master, you, you killed someone?"
She asked, startling the old woman and little boy beside her.
Only then did Shi Wang understand what Mo Junyang meant: No matter how cruel and cunning a person he is, he is not willing to let his closest family members see his ugly side.
Mo Junyang saved his family's life, brought them alive to him, and at the same time watched him being questioned and even accused.
How merciful, how merciful.
However, Shi Wang didn't have much time to think about this. Facing the frightened and frightened eyes of his wife and mother, his face was hot and his scalp was numb. He wanted to find a place for his brother to get in.
The old woman even more excitedly grabbed Shi Wang's sleeve and asked tremblingly: "How many times has mother taught you that our family is poor, but poor people should also have the ambition of poor people, and they must not do things that are harmful to nature. Have you forgotten all what mother said?"
"I didn't!" Shi Wang replied subconsciously, but when he saw the old woman's face full of tears, he lowered his head guiltily.
The old woman is Shi Wang's biological mother. How could she not see the meaning of her son's little action
She suddenly felt dizzy and staggered back. Fortunately, she was supported by a middle-aged woman, so she didn't fall to the ground.
But her tears were already sliding down her cheeks and she started crying silently.
"Mother, mother, are you okay?" This was the first time Shi Wang saw his mother crying like this, and he immediately panicked.
He wanted to help him, but the old woman pushed him away.
The old woman said vehemently: "I don't have a son like you! I did something wrong and not only refused to admit it, but also tried to blame it on others. I raised you in vain! How can you ask me to see your father after I die?" ah… "
The old woman started crying again, crying tears from Shi Wang's eyes.
Shi Wang knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, responding in a panic: "I plead guilty. I plead guilty to everything. Mother, please don't be sad!"
After saying that, he raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears, then turned his head and kowtowed to Mo Junyang.
This time, he no longer had the luxury of using himself as a bargaining chip in negotiations. Instead, he said to Shi Juncai: "Everything this slave did was ordered by Third Master Shi."
"You're lying, don't talk nonsense!" Shi Juncai screamed when he heard Shi Wang identify himself.
Shi Wang ignored Shi Juncai and continued: "The third master gave me money in advance - the same ones you found in my room - and asked me to do things for him. I didn't agree at first, but then he arrested my family , threatening me to poison the second master, and after being discovered, I blamed the matter on the second master.
The third master said that after the incident is completed, he will ensure that my family is safe and sound. I really had no choice but to do what Third Master said for the safety of my family.
The poison was given to me by Third Master. On the wedding day of Princess Baoning, Second Master took his servants to attend the wedding. Third Master secretly found an opportunity to give it to me. I don’t know what kind of medicine it was. He just asked me to pour a little of this medicine into the water I gave my second master to drink last night.
At that time, the servant thought that the third master and the second master just had a conflict. The third master wanted to take revenge on the second master and made him uncomfortable. He did not know that the third master wanted the second master's life. Until he found the second master's body this morning, the slave Just known… "
"You are so slanderous!" Shi Juncai screamed, as if the things he did did not exist after he covered up Shi Wang's voice.
Shi Wang did not rush out to refute like he did with Shi Junhe. After explaining everything, he knelt quietly on the ground again and allowed the punishment.
Mo Junyang was very satisfied with his attitude of accepting his fate. After he explained everything, he did not embarrass him and let Wei Zichao take all Shi Wang's wives with him.
Shi Wang glanced at Mo Junyang gratefully, but didn't say much. When Shi Junhe asked about details, he answered them one by one.
This time it's not like Shi Wang's false accusation against Shi Junhe, which is full of loopholes.
His answer was logical, well-founded and impeccable, and he told everything about his dealings with Shi Juncai.
Shi Juncai listened on the sidelines, his face was miserable, and he shouted feebly: "No, I didn't, it wasn't me..."
"Shiwang is the murderer of my second brother. How can you believe what he says! Yes, he must be lying. He just wronged my elder brother, but now that he can't make up the lie, he has wronged me again. It must be like this, it must be true. That’s it…”
At this time, Shi Juncai had completely forgotten how he had sworn that Shi Wang was telling the truth, and he slapped Shi Wang back again.
Mo Junyang let Shi Juncai defend himself. After he finished shouting, he turned to Wei Ziye at the door and said, "Bring the rest of the people up."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the door again, wondering who Mo Junyang was going to bring this time.
Shi Qingxue also flashed her big eyes, instead of looking at the door, they fell on Mo Junyang.
Flashing and flashing, as if asking: Is it really okay
Mo Junyang gave her a reassuring smile: It's okay, trust me.
Shi Qingxue immediately showed a sweet smile: OK.
The two of them exchanged glances, and the tense atmosphere disappeared.
"Ahem!" Shi Junhe coughed twice, signaling them to calm down.
Qingxue hurriedly stuck out her tongue, made a face, and ducked back with her petite body, trying not to be so conspicuous.
Of course, at this time, everyone else's attention was focused on the case itself, and they didn't notice her little move.
Wei Ziye quickly brought the people up.
They were a few tough guys who were tied up. They were all bruised and dejected. It was obvious that they had been taught a lesson beforehand.
These grown men were pushed into the ancestral hall. When they saw Shi Juncai, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Shi Juncai for help: "Master, master, save this slave! Save this slave!"
These people said in unison, and they all recognized that it was Shi Juncai's person.
Shi Junhe asked them again why they were arrested, and they all answered that they were captured by Wei Zichao when they attacked Shi Wang's family.
In this way, Shi Juncai arrested Shi Wang's family and threatened the latter to poison Shi Junfeng. After the incident, the truth came to light that Shi Junhe was blamed.
After everyone got the stolen goods, Shi Juncai couldn't say anything and sat on the ground dejectedly.
The moment Mo Shujun heard the truth, she was so angry that she was shaking all over. She couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward and slapped Shi Juncai hard.
"brute!"
Mo Shujun had never said such harsh words to her good son, let alone hit him.
But this time she was really angry. Even after scolding and beating her, she still couldn't get over her anger. She picked up the teacup on the table and hit Shi Juncai hard.
When Shi Juncai saw that the matter was revealed, he didn't dare to hide at all. He suffered from Mo Shujun's temper all his life. He kowtowed to Mo Shujun to admit his mistake and begged: "Mother! Mother! I'm just confused for a moment. I'm just jealous of you." He was so kind to his second brother, but he suddenly lost his mind and made a big mistake.
Mother, please consider that I am your biological son, please forgive your son this time! I promise I will never do such a thing again, please! "
Shi Juncai burst into tears, crying as hard as he could.
Even if Mo Shujun had a heart of stone, she could not stand by and watch her own son.
Pain lingered in her eyes, but she finally closed her eyes to block it, waved away Shi Juncai's hand, and said coldly: "It's not me you're harming, why are you begging me for anything?"
Shi Juncai was stunned and immediately understood what Mo Shujun meant.
He knelt down next to Shi Junhe again with a mournful face and begged: "Brother, it's all my fault. It's my fault. It's because I was jealous of you and my second brother that I thought of such a harmful move! But no matter what, please take care of me." For the sake of our brothers, let’s save our brother this time!
I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die! "
Shi Junhe listened to Shi Juncai's thought of crying and reforming with a cold face, but he sneered in his heart: Shi Juncai said he didn't want to die, so did the dead Shi Junfeng want to die
Now that the incident happened, Shi Juncai cried and said that he realized his mistake and asked him to give him another chance. However, Shi Junfeng could never come back!
When Shi Junhe realized this, he felt heartbroken, but his face became increasingly cold and emotionless.
He waited until Juncai finished crying, then turned to look at Zheng Liangcai, who had shrunk since things turned around, and said calmly: "I hope Mr. Zheng can deal with the murderer of my second brother in accordance with the law."
"This is natural, this is natural!" Zheng Liangcai responded repeatedly, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Shi Juncai secretly.
"As for my third brother, I still have family matters to deal with, so I will ask Mr. Zheng to go back first. I will take someone to Kyoto Mansion to explain the matter clearly in the future."
Shi Junhe slowly made arrangements, and everyone else thought that he had finally softened up to Shi Juncai and wanted to suppress the matter.
Zheng Liangcai didn't want to have a conflict with Mo Shujun. Hearing what he asked for, he agreed repeatedly and asked the Yamen to press Shi Wang out of the Duke Shi's Mansion.
Since the truth about Zhang Qiuyan was revealed, she was in a state of high-level confusion. It wasn't until she heard that Shi Junhe wanted to save Shi Juncai that she gave up!
"Brother! Third uncle is your younger brother, isn't my master the same? Do you want to watch my master die unjustly?"
Shi Juncai was secretly proud of Shi Junhe's "blessing". When he heard Zhang Qiuyan yelling, he immediately covered Zhang Qiuyan's mouth angrily and cursed angrily: "Does a woman like you have any place to say anything when a man talks about something? Get out of here now, or I'll kill you!"
His attitude was as arrogant and arrogant as before.
