"Why is it so noisy? What happened? Go and take a look." Mrs. Ding frowned.
The maid who served her hurried to open the door, and was shocked when she saw the person standing outside.
The leader was Wei Qing, followed by a dozen or so officers, looking very aggressive.
"Madam, it's... someone from the government." The maid said in a trembling voice.
Ding quickly stood up and looked at the person outside the door. She felt that the atmosphere was unusual and she felt very uneasy.
"Sir, what happened?"
"Ding Xiaolian, you are suspected of murdering Guo and ordering others to murder Old Wu and two maids in the Bai Mansion. I am here to take you back for trial." Wei Qing said expressionlessly.
Ding's face turned pale instantly, her head buzzed, and she almost fell down.
Without waiting for her to react, Wei Qing waved his hand, and two officers carried her out.
When the people from the Ministry of Justice walked to the gate of the yard, a figure ran over.
It’s Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai was a big man with a lot of flesh. He was running breathlessly and sweating all over his forehead.
"Master, save me!" The panicked Ding saw Master Bai and shouted hurriedly.
"Madam!" Mr. Bai grabbed Ding's hand.
As soon as he heard that the Ministry of Justice had entered Bai's house to arrest Ding, he was so frightened that he ran over immediately.
"Ma'am, what on earth is going on?"
"The officials from the Ministry of Justice said that I was suspected of murdering Guo..." Ding bit her lip and said with an innocent look on her face.
Mr. Bai looked at Wei Qing and said, "Sir, is there some misunderstanding here? My wife is kind-hearted and would never kill anyone!"
"Ms. Guo was insane and must have committed suicide. My Lord, I testify that Mrs. Guo committed suicide and it had nothing to do with my wife!"
Wei Qing's face was expressionless, unmoved. "Master Bai, we always rely on evidence. After the trial, if she is not guilty, we will naturally release your wife. If she is guilty, we will punish her according to the laws of the Great Zhou. Please do not stand in our way."
Wei Qing gave a look to the subordinates around him.
The subordinates immediately pulled Mr. Bai away.
The officers took Ding away.
Mr. Bai could only watch Ding being taken away, feeling extremely anxious.
…
A courtyard of the Bai family.
Bai Muyang sat in the yard, closed his eyes and rested, with the corners of his mouth raised, in a happy mood.
He had just heard the news that Ding had been taken away by the Ministry of Justice.
While Wei Qing was investigating his mother's murder, he naturally didn't just sit there and wait.
He would naturally do his best to avenge his mother and make his enemy get the retribution he deserves!
Therefore, he had been keeping an eye on Ding's every move. When Ding's men were about to kill the two maids to silence them, he stopped them. He also captured the killer and sent him to the Ministry of Justice.
When the two maids learned that Ding wanted to kill them to silence them, they panicked and were willing to come forward to testify against Ding in order to protect themselves.
Good things really happen one after another.
At this moment, the door to the yard was suddenly pushed open.
A man walked in from outside and came to Bai Muyang's side. It was Mr. Bai.
Bai Muyang closed his eyes and didn't even open them.
"Mu Yang, did you know that your mother was taken away by the Ministry of Justice?" There was a hint of urgency in Mr. Bai's tone.
Bai Muyang opened his eyes and looked at him.
His face was filled with worry.
He originally thought that this man was heartless and ungrateful, but in fact he was only heartless and ungrateful to them, mother and son. He had people he cared about and cared about.
"She is not my mother. My mother is gone." Bai Muyang said coldly.
Mr. Bai forced a flattering smile on his face. "I know there are conflicts and misunderstandings between you. Okay, instead of calling me mother, call me Aunt Ding. No matter what, you, your Aunt Ding, and Xuyang, we are all family. Now your Aunt Ding has been taken away by the Ministry of Justice for no apparent reason. You can't just stand by and watch your family get into trouble, can you?"
family?
Ha! When did he become a member of Ding Xiaolian's family?!
"Mu Yang, let's go to the Ministry of Justice together to testify for your Aunt Ding. She would never harm your mother." Master Bai said.
Guo is Bai Muyang's mother. If Bai Muyang can confirm that Guo was crazy and not murdered, it would be very convincing.
This was Mr. Bai’s first thought after seeing Ding being taken away, and he hurried to find Bai Muyang.
"Muyang, let's go quickly, otherwise the people from the Ministry of Justice will use some means to force you to confess." Master Bai said, and reached out to grab Bai Muyang's hand.
Bai Muyang suddenly shook off his hand.
Is he crazy, or am I deaf? !
Is it possible for a human to say such words?
He actually asked me to testify for his enemy!
Although Bai Muyang knew that this man had no feelings for his mother or himself, and his heart was completely inclined towards Ding and Bai Xuyang, and only Ding was his wife and Bai Xuyang was his son, but when he heard such words, Bai Muyang still felt it was ridiculous.
This is ridiculous.
How could my own father be such a person?
Bai Muyang took a deep breath and calmed down.
Don't get angry over unimportant people.
"The Ministry of Justice will investigate whether Ding Xiaolian is innocent or not," said Bai Muyang.
"Mu Yang, I'm begging you. Please go and beg for mercy for my sake." said Mr. Bai.
"Get out!" Bai Muyang said.
Mr. Bai looked very unhappy when his son yelled at him like that.
But for Xiaolian, he still held back his anger and wanted to say a few more words.
Bai Muyang's guards dragged him out and closed the yard door tightly.
Seeing that Bai Muyang was determined not to testify, Mr. Bai could no longer endure it. He slammed the door a few times, cursed him as "ungrateful bastard" and "I raised you in vain", and then left cursing.
Bai Muyang's ears were finally quiet.
…
Ministry of Justice.
"What? Minister Wu went to the Bai family and arrested someone?" Zeng Zuwen jumped up from his chair in shock.
So many things happened in these two short days that he couldn't accept them all at once.
"Minister Wu found evidence that Guo fell into a well twelve years ago and was murdered, not by suicide. Therefore, he decided to reexamine the case."
"Who asked him to retrial? Why didn't I know about it?" Zeng Zuwen was very angry.
Of course he knew about Guo's fall into the well.
He was the one who settled this case in the first place. The guy surnamed Wu is trying to expose his secrets. Who gave him the courage?
"Sir, Minister Wu is a minister. He is qualified to decide on the retrial of such old cases." The subordinate reported.
Great-grandfather Wen took a deep breath. This Wu guy is really meddling in other people’s business!
"Why arrest someone if they want a retrial?" Zeng Zuwen asked, his eyes flashing. "Does he have evidence?"
"There was a doctor who resigned from the Ministry of Justice and knew about this matter. Lord Wu went to inquire about it. It seemed that this doctor knew something, and someone wanted to silence him. Lord Wu happened to catch him, and that person testified against Ding Xiaolian." The subordinate continued to report.
idiot!
I used to think she was cute because she was silly, but now she is really stupid!
He actually killed people to silence them at this critical moment!
Isn't this just handing the handle to others?
When encountering something like this, shouldn't you discuss it with yourself first? !
Great-grandfather Wen was so angry that he felt dizzy.
No matter what, she is his woman after all, and he still has to find a way to protect her.
