Zeng Mansion.
The door was tightly closed.
Great-grandfather Wen was sitting, and there was a person standing next to him, with a respectful attitude and nodding and bowing.
"You are the warden of the death row. Are you sure you can get Ding out?" asked Zeng Zuwen.
"Sir, the death row is my territory. This is not a difficult matter for me." The man responded quickly.
"Won't other people find out?" Zeng Zuwen continued to ask.
What Great-grandfather Wen was most worried about was Minister Wu, who was always working against him.
After this matter is resolved, he must find a way to get rid of this person!
"Don't worry, sir, no one will find out." The man promised.
In fact, the safest option is to kill Ding directly, but...
Zeng Zuwen picked up the letter at hand and read it again.
This was a letter from Mrs. Ding to him. It clearly stated that if she died, their relationship would be exposed to his wife...
If his wife knew, he would definitely be dead.
So, after much deliberation, Great-Grandfather Wen decided to rescue Ding.
Great-grandfather Wen lit a tinder and burned the letter.
"I'll leave this matter to you. When it's done, I will definitely not treat you unfairly." Great-grandfather Wen said.
The man was immediately delighted: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely get it done!"
Bang bang bang!
Just then, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Zang Zuwen, are you in there? Why are you hiding in the house in broad daylight?" A fierce voice sounded.
Zeng Zuwen was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost burned them.
He quickly shook his hands, burned the letter, brushed off the ashes on his body, then stood up and opened the door.
Standing outside was a fat woman in gorgeous clothes. She was a lot bigger than Great-Zu Wen and had a very fierce look. This was Great-Zu Wen’s wife, Tao.
Tao's sharp eyes swept over his great-grandfather Wen.
"Madam..." Great-grandfather Wen called out with a smile on his face.
Tao pushed Zeng Zuwen away and walked into the room. She glanced around and saw that only Zeng Zuwen and his subordinates were in the room. Her expression looked a little better.
"Madam, I'm discussing something with my subordinates." Zeng Zuwen smiled flatteringly, "What are you doing?"
"The door is closed so tightly that people would think you were doing something with some little goblin in the house." Tao said sarcastically.
The ugliness on Zeng Zuwen's face flashed away, and he quickly put on a smile: "Madam, I only have you in my heart, how could there be anyone else?"
Tao snorted softly, "It's better this way."
Zeng Zuwen gave his subordinate a look, and the subordinate hurried down.
Great-grandfather Wen took Tao's hand and sat down on the chair.
"Madam, please sit down and let me massage your shoulders..." said the great-grandfather.
Tao sat down, and Great-grandfather Wen began to massage her, and Tao's complexion gradually looked better.
"Great-grandfather Wen, you are where you are today because of me. You must not let me down." said Mrs. Tao.
"Madam, that's natural. My feelings for you are evident to all..."
…
The sentence imposed by Ding was finalized after review.
The execution date was set for half a month later.
However, during this half month, something happened.
Ding committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
Death row.
Wei Qing looked at the empty cell with a unhappy expression.
"Sir Wu, Ding has been in a state of panic since she knew she was going to be executed. She was yelling and screaming at first, but later she went completely crazy. She was found dead in prison early this morning. The coroner also investigated and found that she died by hitting her head against the wall. She must have committed suicide out of fear of punishment." said the warden of the death row.
"Where is the body?" Wei Qing continued to ask.
"After the coroner performed the autopsy, he was sent for burial." said the jailer.
"Where is it buried?" Wei Qing asked.
"I'll take you there," said the jailer.
The group came to the place where the bodies were buried.
In the wilderness, those sentenced to death were buried there. There were graves everywhere, the air was filled with a foul smell, vultures were flying in the sky, and it was desolate and gloomy.
Several people were walking among the graves.
"Sir, he is buried here." said a jailer.
Wei Qing walked over and saw that the soil was turned over, but there was no corpse in it.
"There are many wild dogs in this area. The body must have been dragged away by them," the jailer said. "If you really want to see the body, we can look for it everywhere. But the man is dead, so finding the body is useless. Wouldn't it be a waste of manpower and resources?"
"Looking for it." Wei Qing said.
Everyone had no choice but to search in this area, and finally found a person whose face was unrecognizable after being bitten by wild dogs. His body shape was very similar to Ding's.
"This must be Ding's."
"Yes, although his face is completely disfigured, the scar on his forehead can still be seen."
"Sir, the body has been found and you have seen it. Can we go back now?" The jailer looked at Wei Qing and said.
Wei Qing stared at the corpse for a while and nodded.
…
Ministry of Justice.
"He didn't say anything?" Zeng Zuwen asked.
"The body has been found, what else can he say?" the jailer said, "Sir, I found a body about the same size as Ding, and then I smudged the face. It was done perfectly."
Zeng Zuwen smiled and patted the jailer's shoulder.
"well done."
"I am very happy to be able to share your worries, sir." The jailer said hurriedly.
Zeng Zuwen felt relieved and became happier the more he thought about it.
No matter how clever that Wu was, he had only been in the Ministry of Justice for a short time. After all, the Ministry of Justice was his territory, and all his people were his. Wouldn't it be easy for him to save someone?
Want to fight yourself? You're still a little immature!
Great-grandfather Wen sent the jailer away.
The matter was finally resolved, and Zeng Zuwen breathed a sigh of relief and slept well.
He had placed Ding in a courtyard, but to be on the safe side, he did not go to see her.
A few days later, when Mrs. Tao returned to the princess's residence for a small gathering, my great-grandfather Wencai quietly sneaked into the yard.
Zeng Zuwen knocked on the door and it opened.
He looked at Ding in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became straight.
Ding had her hair loose and her face was delicately made up. She was charming and beautiful, like she was in her twenties, but she had a charm that other women in their twenties didn't have.
She was wearing a thin shirt, which outlined her plump figure and made her figure clearly visible.
Great-grandfather Wen couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Before, he thought Ding would bring trouble to him and wanted to kill her directly. But now, looking at her in front of him, Zeng Zuwen felt a little relieved. It would be a pity to kill such a beauty.
Ding's watery eyes stared at him and she called softly, "Zeng Lang~"
Zeng Zuwen felt as if half of his body was numb. He hurried in, closed the door, and then hugged Ding in his arms.
"Zeng Lang, I thought you didn't want me anymore. Life in prison is so hard, I'm so scared..." Ding said pitifully.
She was indeed frightened, and she also knew Zeng Zuwen, who was willing to sacrifice her for his own sake, so she wrote a threatening letter.
Fortunately, Zeng Zuwen chose to save her.
