Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 417 What a Stupid Man

Back in the blood-drawing room, Jiang Yueyang sat aside and watched Gu Ling'er transfuse the blood that had been drawn from the Dali Temple official into the body of a young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

The man was thin and pale, with bruises and wounds on his hands caused by something unknown.

Judging from the depth of the wound, a lot of blood must have been shed.

Jiang Yueyang guessed that the injuries on the man's body were caused by the prisoners in the same cell as him. It is often shown in the movies that there is always a vicious and evil big brother in prison who likes to bully the weak!

However, she was somewhat curious about what such a young man had done to deserve the death penalty.

kill?

Seeing that Jiang Yueyang had been staring at the man, the system asked excitedly: [Host, do you want to listen to his story? ]

There are three death row inmates in the room, two of whom have received blood transfusions and are now in the observation period.

During the experiment, in order to prevent infection and other factors from causing the death of the subjects, the three death row prisoners temporarily lived in this house and were guarded day and night by special personnel.

It was the first time for the three prisoners to hear the inner voice, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

The four officers present walked up to the three death row prisoners in a skilled manner as soon as the system uttered the first word, and warned them with their eyes not to move.

Jiang Yueyang knew that the "he" mentioned by the system was the man she was staring at, and answered with interest: [Tell me about it. ]

The system cleared its throat, [This man is called Chen Kang, and he was sentenced to beheading for patricide, but he didn’t actually kill the person.]

[Taking the blame for someone else again?] Jiang Yueyang was a little disappointed.

The first time she came here, she saw the woman who was imprisoned for her daughter's crime.

The officers present looked at each other calmly, while Gu Ling'er observed the situation of the "little white mouse" with a normal expression.

The person involved, Chen Kang, supported himself on the bed and tried to get up. He was afraid that everything he had done before would be in vain after the system told the truth.

"Don't move." Gu Ling'er quickly pushed him down and gave him a needle in one of his acupuncture points.

Chen Kang was instantly unable to move, and could not make any sound.

Seeing his eyes wide open, Gu Linger immediately took a handkerchief used to hold the needle hole and covered his eyes with it, and deliberately said, "Don't be too nervous, close your eyes and rest for a while."

The system hummed, [The person who actually killed Chen Kang's father was Chen Kang's wife. ]

Gu Ling'er and the system's voices sounded at the same time, and Jiang Yueyang sighed: [There are not many good men like this. ]

[A good man?] The system sneered, [I think he is the dumbest man in the world.]

[Oh?] Jiang Yueyang was in high spirits, [It seems Chen Kang was deceived! How was he deceived?]

When Chen Kang heard Jiang Yueyang say that she was cheated, his expression froze instantly. Cheated?

System: [That night, Chen's father walked into Chen Kang's wife's room and wanted to...

Chen Kang's wife fought back desperately, and while struggling she grabbed something and hit the other person on the back of the head.

Chen's father died on the spot. When Chen Kang came back, he saw the man lying in a pool of blood and asked about the whole incident.

Chen Kang's wife cried and told him everything. She also cried and told Chen Kang that she didn't want to die or go to jail, and begged Chen Kang to save her.

Chen Kang persuaded his wife to surrender herself to the government office, saying that he would testify for her and plead for mercy from the officials.

Chen Kang's wife did not dare to bet on the official's mercy, so she told Chen Kang that she was pregnant. If she turned herself in, there would be two deaths. She begged Chen Kang not to be so cruel to her.

Finally, for the sake of his wife and children, Chen Kang chose to surrender and plead guilty on behalf of his wife, hoping that his wife could take good care of their children.

Chen Kang's wife promised him that she would give birth to the child, raise him to adulthood, and remain a widow for Chen Kang. But as soon as Chen Kang's sentence came down, she immediately took medicine to abort the child and wanted to remarry.

After hearing what the system said, Chen Kang's eyes suddenly became moist. He silently said it was impossible and was unwilling to believe what the system said.

His child must still be there, and his wife would never treat him like that...

Jiang Yueyang was puzzled. [When Chen Kang turned himself in, he should have said that he accidentally killed someone to protect his wife, right? Would he also be sentenced to beheading in that case?]

[The Daxia law stipulates that if descendants murder their grandparents or parents, they will be sentenced to death regardless of whether they succeed or fail.

Chen Kang was guilty of a crime against his superior, and even if he was trying to protect his wife, he could not escape the death penalty.

Jiang Yueyang sighed, [What a pity that my deep affection was misplaced. ]

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but look at Chen Kang with pity, as he was still so young.

After hearing this, Chen Kang was still unwilling to believe that his wife would treat him like that. He thought about asking her in person the next time she came to visit him in prison.

The system sighed, "It's not over yet. Chen Kang's wife felt that she couldn't rest in peace until Chen Kang died.

So, she secretly found someone to bribe the death row prisoners who were imprisoned with Chen Kang, hoping that Chen Kang would die in prison. That way, she could rest assured and find another good man.

Poor Chen Kang foolishly signed up for Gu Ling'er's medical trial, hoping to leave some money for his wife and children. 】

Jiang Yueyang clicked his tongue twice, [What a pitiful man. ]

[What a stupid man.] The system followed up with this sentence.

At this time, Chen Kang's heart had already sank.

At first, the people in the same cell with him also beat him to vent their anger, but they were very restrained in their attacks.

But later on, they were beating him with the intention of killing him, and they did not stop even when the jailer came in to pull him away.

Moreover, on several nights, he was almost strangled to death by those people.

Thinking of this, Chen Kang began to believe what the system said.

At this time, the blood in the jar had been completely transfused into Chen Kang's body.

Gu Ling'er removed the needle from him, and seeing that he looked calm, she secretly unblocked his acupoints.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Gu Ling'er asked.

Chen Kang was stunned for a moment and then shook his head.

Seeing that the matter was over, Jiang Yueyang stood up and said, "Miss Ling'er, I'm going back now. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, he just had a blood transfusion. I need to stay here and observe his condition."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Well, I'll wait for you here tomorrow."

Then Jiang Yueyang turned around and walked out of the house.

When she walked away, Gu Linger said to Chen Kang: "What she said is true."

One of the officers echoed, "Master Xiao Jiang's heart has never been out of place. Your wife cheated on you and even hired someone to kill you. Do you want to save your life?"

Hearing this, Chen Kang looked up at the officer who was speaking, "Brother officer, can you help me call my wife over?"

"You still don't believe it?"

"I want to ask it myself."

Gu Ling'er shook her head. People in this world really won't give up until they reach the Yellow River...
