Chapter 174 Dog bites dog
Fang Zhitong spoke hurriedly.
"Sir, I had no hand in Zhang Dazhuang's death. It was Qiao who bought the medicine and boiled it herself, then lied to Zhang Dazhuang and said it was alcohol remedy. I have nothing to do with it. You can go to the Anhetang Pharmacy in town to inquire about this matter. The medicine was prepared by Zhang Qiao herself."
Zhang Qiao rushed over and beat Fang Zhitong. She had never imagined that the man who had said he would welcome her into the Fang family with great openness when they slept in the same bed together would now turn against her so cruelly, send her to hell, and make her bear the eternal infamy.
"Fang Zhitong, you heartless son of a bitch, it was you who said we could poison Zhang Dazhuang to death and then frame Yue Manting, since Zhang Dazhuang went to Yue Manting for dinner every day anyway.
I could then frame Yue Manting. The people at Yue Manting, mindful of their reputation, would surely compensate me with a large sum of money, which I could then use as a dowry to marry into the Fang family. But now they're refusing to acknowledge their mistake and want me to bear the infamy all by myself..."
Fang Zhitong reached out and pushed her to the ground.
"Qiao Xiaoju, you brought all this upon yourself. You bought the medicine, you brewed it, and you fed it to your man. What does it have to do with me? You still want to marry into the Fang family? Don't you even consider your status? You're not even a virgin, and you still want to marry into our Fang family? You're dreaming."
After Fang Zhitong finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Qiao who was sitting on the ground crying, and saluted Hua County Magistrate.
"Sir, I lost control and was seduced by Zhang Qiao. I only touched her. Zhang Dazhuang's death was caused by Zhang Qiao's loneliness. It has nothing to do with me."
Seeing the unfriendly look from County Magistrate Hua, Fang Zhitong continued to speak.
"Sir, there's a hidden story behind this matter. It's not all about Fang Zhitong and Zhang Qiao. Jun Moye and Su Hanchu of Yue Manting are not clean either and have made too many enemies. A month ago, a woman named Tian found me..."
After hearing this, Jun Moye's eyes changed and he interrupted him.
"Hua County Magistrate, the evidence is irrefutable. Every word Fang Zhitong says is just an attempt to escape punishment. County Magistrate, why don't you just sentence him directly? Although Fang Zhitong can be spared the death penalty, he cannot escape the punishment of life. How about slapping him with fifty boards..."
Fang Zhitong did not argue this time, but watched the county magistrate open his lips again and again but no sound came out.
County Magistrate Hua also knew that his daughter might have reached some kind of cooperation with Fang Zhitong.
But Zhang Qiao shouted unwillingly.
"Sir, I was instigated by Fang Zhitong. Sir, if you want to beat me or punish me, I will accept it, but Fang Zhitong must also receive the same punishment..."
County Magistrate Hua looked at Fang Zhitong, then at Jun Moye, and finally picked up the gavel and banged it.
"Silence, I now announce the verdict in the case of Zhang Dazhuang's death. Zhang Qiao has been convicted of murdering her husband. She is sentenced to immediate imprisonment and execution in the autumn of next year. Fang Zhitong will be flogged with fifty strokes of the cane. The execution will be immediate."
Fang Zhitong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had saved his life, and looked at Jun Moye and the other man with a vicious look.
The Jun family is really not easy to deal with.
The perceptive Su Hanchu noticed his look and gave him a sarcastic look.
Jun Moye took her hand and spoke softly.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to jump around for long."
Zhang Qiao looked at Fang Zhitong angrily. When she saw the bailiff escorting her coming, she kowtowed and spoke hurriedly.
"Sir, I have returned from my wrong path and have no regrets. Now I am about to die. I only ask that you, sir, please consider that I was also deceived and allow me to watch Fang Zhitong, this evil man, being executed before going to the prison."
When County Magistrate Hua heard this, he was about to refuse, but this woman had more things to do.
Su Hanchu saw the hatred in the woman's eyes. It seemed that she wanted to do something more. It was a dog-eat-dog drama that was interesting. He spoke quickly.
"Sir, since Zhang Qiao has admitted his guilt and acknowledged his mistakes, he will only stay here for a while longer. Why don't you agree to this?"
County Magistrate Hua looked at Jun Moye's eyes and finally nodded.
"Well, since Madam Jun is pleading for you, then you can stay here."
Soon the bailiffs brought a bench and a board and put Fang Zhitong on the bench.
“Pah…Pah…Pah…Pah…Pah…”
As the sound of boards rang out in the lobby, the boards fell on Fang Zhitong one by one. As more and more boards fell, the clothes on his back were torn and his skin was scratched.
The yamen runners were merciless in their attacks, and every blow left him in excruciating pain.
However, he still gritted his teeth and endured this cruel punishment with hatred in his eyes. Jun Moye, you are so cruel, just wait for me.
But as the beating continued, the man fainted and began to speak as the bailiff spoke.
"Sir, the man has fainted. Fifteen more hits to go."
County Magistrate Hua waved his hand.
"Bring some cold water over here to wake him up, and then continue fighting."
Soon, a whole bucket of cold water just drawn from the well was poured on Fang Zhitong, and Fang Zhitong woke up in shock.
The bailiffs continued to execute the sentence.
After fifty strokes of the board, Fang Zhitong was still alive because he knew martial arts. However, he was gritting his teeth in pain, his face looked extremely ugly, and he lay weakly on the bench.
Zhang Qiao slowly walked towards Fang Zhitong.
"Fang Zhitong, this is your retribution. Look at how you look now, just like you're useless in bed..."
Fang Zhitong was so angry that he wanted to jump up, but it caused pain in his injuries and his brows were furrowed.
"You lowly whore..."
County Magistrate Hua was about to speak when Jun Moye raised his hand and shook his head.
I saw Zhang Qiao slowly approaching Fang Zhitong.
"Brother Zhitong, you and I have been married for more than twenty days. As the saying goes, a marriage lasts a hundred days. For the sake of our relationship, I will tell you a secret. It may be useful to you."
Fang Zhitong glared at her and roared.
"You bitch, what else do you want to say?"
Zhang Qiao lifted the hair beside her ear. Her tear-stained face was quite pretty. No wonder Fang Zhitong chose her for his plan.
She slowly approached Fang Zhitong's ear with a smile on her face.
"The secret is..."
Then he opened his mouth and bit Fang Zhitong's ear.
Suddenly, the sound of pigs squealing could be heard in the lobby.
"ah……………"
