Everyone was taken aback by these words.
Jiang Yaoguang, oblivious to everything, continued to laugh maniacally, "You, you, and you, you are all my accomplices, even Jiang Donghua, she is my accomplice, none of you will escape."
At the time, the Chen family did not approve of Chen Shaofu's relationship with him and did not treat them well. They would only occasionally give them some food because of Chen Shaofu, so that they would not starve to death.
The group had been fleeing famine for almost half a month when they suddenly encountered a group of refugees who were gathering together to rob food. These refugees were all fearless, and if it weren't for the protection of several servants from the Chen family, they would not have been able to escape in their carriage at all.
They finally managed to shake off the refugees before dark, and all of Chen's servants stayed behind to hold them off.
While everyone in the Chen family was immersed in grief, Old Man Jiang began to covet the Chen family's vast reserves of grain and silver.
After discussing it with his family, he agreed.
After all, Mr. and Mrs. Chen really looked down on him and would never marry their daughter to him.
In order to successfully marry Chen Shaofu and to stop being constantly given food, they took advantage of the night to kill the entire Chen family and then pretended to be discovered by refugees.
As expected, Chen Shaofu fainted due to excessive grief. She never considered that the Jiang family was behind it all, and only believed that the refugees had killed her parents. She trusted the Jiang family completely.
She was completely devoted to him, and because of his deception, she married him on the way.
Hearing this, Chen Shaofu was filled with disbelief, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly. "Yes, you killed my parents and brother. Why did you do this?"
Jiang Yaoguang, how could you be so heartless and insane?
She was swaying slightly and her face was extremely pale.
She couldn't believe that her parents and brother had been murdered by Jiang Yaoguang and his gang.
I initially thought I had only been deceived emotionally, but now it seems that it was more than just emotional loss; it also involved the lives of several people.
She actually married the man who killed her entire family and even had a child with him. How ridiculous!
She thought this man was her support, her future reliance, but little did she know, he was her death warrant.
She was the one who caused the deaths of her parents and brother, even though they had warned Jiang Yaoguang that he was not a good person and told her not to associate with him.
But she didn't believe it, and only thought that her parents looked down on the Jiang family because they were too poor.
Not only did he take them with him when they fled the famine, but he also told them about the food and money at home along the way, reassuring them that once they settled down, they could open a shop together and do business.
Otherwise, why would the Jiang family have harbored such malicious intentions?
"Jiang Yaoguang, you will die a horrible death."
After saying that, Chen Shaofu pounced on Jiang Yaoguang and started punching him like a madwoman.
Jiang Yaoguang, however, kept laughing and talking about the details of how he and the others disposed of the body, appearing completely deranged.
It's clear that if you've given up hope, no one else should have any hope either.
Old Jiang and his companions were still somewhat bewildered when they saw that Jiang Yaoguang had truly gone mad. They got up from the ground and immediately attacked him.
"Jiang Yaoguang, have you gone mad? If it weren't for helping you marry that woman, why would we have killed someone? You unfilial son."
"I'll beat you to death. It's all because of your instigation that we killed people, and now you're blaming us? You can't live, so you want to drag everyone down with you, can you? You're a madman."
In an instant, the government office was in complete chaos.
By the time the constables pulled the men apart, Jiang Yaoguang was already bruised and swollen, lying unconscious on the ground.
Old Jiang and his companions weren't much better off; they were all injured, their faces swollen like pig heads as they continued to hurl insults at each other.
Chen Shaofu wasn't seriously injured because Jiang Yimian had pulled her away earlier; she was just sitting on the ground, silently crying.
When the truth came out, Song Quanzhao said sternly, "Li Sidan, although Jiang Yaoguang instructed you to hire someone to kill, it is an established fact that you murdered for money. Considering that you have come to your senses and come to the yamen to identify Jiang Yaoguang, we will give you a chance."
Twenty strokes of the cane, and exiled to a harsh, cold land for ten years.
You three wanted criminals have committed countless murders; you will be executed in the autumn.
As for you, this tyrant who has been committing all sorts of evil deeds in Qinghe Town, and now you even want to rob and kill, considering that you haven't committed a serious crime, you will be given fifty strokes of the cane and exiled to a bitter and cold place for ten years.
Jiang Yaoguang, Jiang Erzhuang, and Jiang Laotou not only committed murder for money, but also obstructed the government from handling the case. Each of them shall be given fifty strokes of the cane and executed in the autumn.
Granny Wu and Madam Li, accomplices in murder and obstructing the government's investigation, are sentenced to thirty strokes of the cane and three years of exile to a harsh, cold land.
As soon as he finished speaking, constables stepped forward and took them away.
Even from a distance, one could still hear Granny Wu and her companions' cries of pain and curses.
With the case closed, everyone inside and outside the yamen dispersed.
As soon as Jiang Yimian and her group stepped out of the yamen, Song Miaoyin blocked their way with a face full of resentment. Her eyes were still red, clearly from crying, but her expression was somewhat ferocious.
"You, you did it on purpose, you deliberately conspired to harm Jiang Yaoguang and the Song family, you bitches, I, I'm going to kill you all."
As she spoke, she reached out and struck the two of them hard, displaying a frenzied state.
Jiang Yimian grabbed the other person's wrist and said coldly, "That scumbag Jiang Yaoguang deserved to die. You should be glad that you saw through his true colors early on."
At least she didn't let the person in front of her fall into Jiang Yaoguang's trap. Both morally and logically, the other party should be grateful that he realized Jiang Yaoguang was a scumbag before getting married and didn't hastily entrust his future to a scumbag.
Song Miaoyin looked as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and said with a ferocious expression, "Pah! You got my future husband into jail, and I should be glad."
You owe me back my brother Yaoguang! You killed him, it's all your fault!
If it weren't for these two people in front of her, she would have been able to marry Yaoguang soon, and wouldn't have been the laughingstock of so many people.
Especially the one who married Yaoguang.
She stared intently at Chen Shaofu, who was standing to the side, and suddenly lunged at her like a madwoman, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, you bitch, even Yaoguang doesn't want you anymore, how dare you say you're his wife."
Since you like him, you should let him be. You owe my brother Yaoguang, sob sob sob.
She struggled desperately, trying to pounce on Chen Shaofu, but because her wrist was being held tightly, she could only struggle helplessly in place.
Finally, as if all his strength had been drained, he collapsed to the ground and wailed loudly.
Chen Shaofu was startled by the other party's sudden madness and carefully hid behind Jiang Yimian. After a while, she spoke up: "Jiang Yaoguang is not a good person. He only wants to marry you because of the Song family's business."
After marrying you, he will show his true colors and lose all his gentleness and tenderness.
All he cares about is money. If he ever meets someone richer than the Song family, he'll flock to them without hesitation. You and I are just stepping stones for him. Wake up!
