Chapter 93 Liujiazhuang Ethical Drama
Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang followed the crowd all the way to the county government office, where they met Zeng Tai who was questioning a case in court.

It’s ridiculous that Zeng Tai didn’t even go to the scene to investigate, and there wasn’t any physical evidence at all. How could he solve the case just by questioning?
It just so happened that Zhang Chun had a guilty conscience because he was the one who buried the body, so he told some lies. There was some truth in his words, some lies, and some truth in his lies, which made Zeng Tai very confused.

Although Zeng Tai pointed out the loopholes and inaccuracies in Zhang Chun's words, Zhang Chun refused to admit that he had committed the murder.

Normally, at this time, torture would be used to extract a confession. But Zhao had said so before, and Zeng Tai did not dare to use torture, so he was in a dilemma.

Di Renjie watched from below and shook his head.

Zeng Tai was anxious and angry in the court. He put his hand on the lottery box several times and wanted to torture him, but he shook his head and retracted his hand.

Seeing this, Di Renjie nodded reluctantly and gave Zeng Tai some sympathy.

Zeng Tai was furious. He slammed the gavel in desperation and shouted angrily, "Take the prisoner away. Court is dismissed!"

The county magistrate quickly reminded him, "Sir, there is still Wang Wu who has not been tried yet."

"No need to judge! We'll deal with it tomorrow."

Zeng Tai left after saying a few words.

The excitement was over, and the crowd in front of the county government dispersed. Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang also followed him back to the posthouse, and they discussed Zeng Tai on the way.

Li Yuanfang asked, "What do you think of County Magistrate Zeng today?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It's hard for me to comment. We just arrived in Changcheng County and cannot make any rash conclusions. But judging from his performance today, this person has no idea how to solve a case. It's just that his mind and character are still somewhat admirable."

"He was able to find loopholes in Zhang Chun's words and questioned him quite carefully. This is what makes him better than the average county magistrate. When an average county magistrate sees the body dug out from Zhang Chun's house, this alone is enough to make a verdict. The rest is to torture him to extract a confession."

"Comparatively, Zeng Tai still had some kindness in his heart. Although he was angry, he did not vent his anger on the suspect and did not torture him into confessing. However, the case could not be tried because of this."

"Because he probably didn't search Zhang Chun's house in person, and there was no physical evidence. This is due to lack of experience."

Li Yuanfang nodded in understanding: "That's right."

"Knowing that I, the dethronement envoy, would soon arrive, he was able to contain his anxiety and anger and not resort to torture. This is quite rare." Di Renjie's evaluation of Zeng Tai was mostly positive.

"There is another suspect, Wang Wu. Zeng Tai will definitely go to court for questioning tomorrow morning. Let's go and take a look." Di Renjie added.

However, tonight, the county jail welcomed an uninvited guest.

A man in black stood in front of the cell door of Zhang Chun and Wang Wu, waking up the two who were sleeping.

"Zhang Chun and Wang Wu, right?" the man in black said coldly.

Zhang Chun and Wang Wu huddled together, shivering.

The man in black didn't waste any words and said bluntly: "You have two choices. The first one is that you admit to the murder, but your parents and family can live."

"Second, if you don't admit to murder, you will be released, but both of you, along with your parents and family members, will die! And it will be a miserable death!"

Zhang Chun and Wang Wu stepped back, looking at the man in black who appeared out of nowhere, both of them were extremely frightened.

The man in black sneered: "You don't believe it?"

He picked up a steel needle and nailed a rat in the cell to death.

"Believe me, I can do what I say."

Zhang Chun screamed in fear and then covered his mouth. Wang Wu's pants got wet and he peed all over the floor.

"Have you thought it through? Zhang Chun, think about your seventy-year-old mother. Wang Wu, think about your old father." The man in black urged again.

Zhang Chun and Wang Wu were so frightened that they could only confess and take the blame.

The man in black was satisfied and taught them how to confess, then left the prison.

On the same night, in Liujiazhuang, Zhao Ji was watching a real-life family ethics drama.

In the main hall, Yingyu complained to Liu Chali in a tearful voice: "Master, you saw it all with your own eyes today. I have only been married for a few days, and the young master dared to be so frivolous and indecent. I dare not think about the future."

Her eyes were filled with tears and she gently wiped the corners of her eyes as she spoke, looking very charming.

Liu Chali was obviously not in the mood to watch Yingyu's dedicated performance. The anger in his heart had already clouded his mind.

"Well, what a devil! This beast actually did that kind of thing in the garden in broad daylight..." His words were full of anger and disappointment.

Yingyu sobbed, "Master, you have to think of a solution. Otherwise, just give me a letter of divorce. Wuuuuu..."

Liu Chali slammed the table and said, "It is better to have no son like him than to have him! I must kill him, or he will do something shameful again in the future and spread the news to ruin the reputation of my Liu family!"

His anger had reached its peak.

Yingyu was shocked when she heard this: "Master, what nonsense are you talking about? He is your only son."

Liu Chali said resolutely: "I don't have such a beastly son!"

After saying that, he walked away angrily.

After hearing what Liu Chali said, Yingyu felt a little uneasy and decided to go and talk to Liu Chuanlin in person.

Zhao Ji came out from his hiding place and followed quietly.

Liu Chuanlin was extremely upset and unable to sleep. He paced back and forth in the room in a restless manner.

Yingyu came to the outside of his room, picked up a stone, wrapped the note she had already written around the stone, and threw it out of the window to Liu Chuanlin.

Liu Chuanlin heard the noise, bent down to pick up the note, and quickly read it. The note told him to go to the garden.

Liu Chuanlin closed his eyes in pain, took a deep breath, and went to the garden.

As the night deepened, the garden became pitch black.

Liu Chuanlin came to the pavilion in the garden, his eyes full of expectation, looking left and right, trying to find Yingyu.

Until Yingyu appeared behind him and called out softly, "Chuanlin..."

Liu Chuanlin was startled and turned around.

He stared at Yingyu with a trembling voice and said, "Didn't you tell me not to bother you anymore? Why did you take the initiative to meet me here?"

Yingyu could hear the anger in Liu Chuanlin's heart and soothed him gently, "Chuanlin, don't be angry. I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

Liu Chuanlin did not answer, tears had already soaked his eyes.

"I'm sorry? Ever since I saw you in the village, you have been cold and indifferent to me. ... I don't understand, what did I do wrong to make you treat me like this?"

"Do you know how worried I was when I hurried back home and you were missing? I asked around for your whereabouts, I looked for you everywhere, I, I...but when I returned to the village, I found that you, you had become...why? Why did you do this..."

As he spoke, tears streamed down Liu Chuanlin's cheeks. He gasped for breath, and all the confusion and grievance in his heart burst out at this moment.

There were faint tears in Yingyu's eyes: "Chuanlin, I understand your feelings for me. But I have my own difficulties. One day, I will tell you the truth, but you have to promise me one thing."

Liu Chuanlin wiped his tears and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yingyu pleaded: "Don't tell your father about our relationship, otherwise you will be in danger."

Liu Chuanlin looked at her in disbelief: "Are you threatening me?"

Yingyu shook her head and choked up, "I'm protecting you... I know you love me, and I love you too... I don't want you to be in danger."

Liu Chuanlin sneered and shook his head continuously: "I won't be fooled by you again! You are a terrible woman! I don't know why you do this, but you must have a purpose! I will let my father beware of you and not be fooled by you!"

Having said that, Liu Chuanlin turned around and ran out, heading towards the main hall.

Yingyu looked at Liu Chuanlin's back, and she seemed to have lost all her strength. She fell to the ground, and her tears wet her clothes.

However, she soon remembered something, struggled to stand up, and chased in the direction Liu Chuanlin left.

Zhao Ji appeared from the dark again: "Tsk tsk tsk, what a pair of infatuated man and resentful woman, Li Gui, Li Xian, you two brothers have done a lot of harm to others."
