Chapter 688 Result
Ji Hao was silent for a moment, then asked, "How is Ying Wenhai?"
After he woke up, he did ask about his family once, but his grandmother just told him to rest and recuperate and not to worry about things outside. He was indeed feeling very uncomfortable, so he didn't ask again.
Wei Ting's spirits lifted. He looked around and found that there was only an old nanny in the room. Since this old nanny was Madam Ji's confidant, he did not avoid her and whispered, "The trial will start today. You don't know, his stepmother is very powerful..."
After recounting today's court hearing in detail, Ji Hao was stunned. After a long pause, he said, "Was the Chunfeng Tower incident really instigated by his stepmother? No, why is there still a court hearing? Shouldn't this be resolved through discussion between our two families?"
Wei Ting looked at him with disdain, "You almost lost your life. How could the two families resolve this privately?"
He said, "You haven't even been brought back from Qixia Mountain yet, and Ying Wenhai has been imprisoned by County Magistrate Tang."
Jiao Yong said, "When you were unconscious a few days ago, there was a bloody storm outside. The Ying family even sent someone to give gifts to the classmate you played with that day, just to try to get some support for Ying Wenhai during the trial."
Ji Hao didn't expect the matter to become so serious. In his memory, every time he and Ying Wenhai had a quarrel or a fight, they were taken home by their respective parents and punished.
After all, he was lucky. His grandmother at most punished him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall, and he would be able to leave after one or two hours. Ying Wenhai's father was at home. At the very least, he would be made to kneel in the ancestral hall for one or two nights, and at the worst, he would be beaten with a stick.
He thought that this time Ying Wenhai would at most be beaten a little harder.
I didn't expect that it would alarm the authorities and they would lock him up directly?
Seeing his stunned look, Jiao Yong reached out and tapped his head, saying, "Can you use some brains? You almost died, not just a scratch like before."
Wei Ting said, "It was just a scrape of skin, but that piece was bigger and deeper, exposing the intestines."
Everyone:……
Ji Hao wiped his face and asked, "Then, what about Ying Wenhai's sentence?"
"Not yet. County Magistrate Tang doesn't want us to attend the trial anymore. I guess Mrs. Ying will be tried next. I wonder how much evidence County Magistrate Tang has." Wei Ting paused at this point, lost in thought. "It seems that by arresting Ying Wenhai and putting him in jail, County Magistrate Tang is actually protecting him."
Jiao Yong was confused: "Why protect him?"
"Think about it," Wei Ting said, "If Lord Tang didn't arrest Ying Wenhai, what would Lord Ying do to appease the Ji family's anger?"
Jiao Yong: "Hit Ying Wenhai with the stick!"
"That was the lightest of all. You weren't at Qixia Mountain that day, so you didn't see it. Lord Ying kicked Ying Wenhai in the stomach, sending him flying. He immediately vomited blood, and then County Magistrate Tang took him away."
Wei Ting counted on his fingers and said, "He was kicked and injured internally. If Madam Ji doesn't let him go, he'll definitely be beaten again when he gets home. Madam Ying, don't even bother pleading for mercy. It's a good thing she doesn't add fuel to the fire. If she beats him to death..."
Wei Ting looked down at Ji Hao and said thoughtfully, "If you die in the end, and Ying Wenhai dies too, then the grudge between your two families will be over, right? Even if the two families are still resentful and each takes his own life, what else can your family be dissatisfied with?"
Ji Hao was stunned.
Wei Ting continued, "But if you survived, and Ying Wenhai was beaten to death by his father as a death penalty..."
Ji Hao shuddered, his face pale: "You, you, don't make blind guesses."
Wei Ting said with a profound look on his face: "If you don't believe me, wait until the old lady comes back and ask her."
Jiao Yong looked at him in surprise and asked, "Wei Ting, how come you've improved so much in just a few days?"
Wei Ting sighed, "I can't help it. Ever since the Qixia Mountain incident, people from the Ying family have been coming to my house every now and then. My father and mother are afraid that I'll get involved and offend the Ying family, or become alienated from the Ji family. They keep nagging me about all sorts of schemes and tricks every day. I've heard so much that now I even doubt someone is trying to harm me when I drink a glass of water."
Ji Hao & Jiao Yong: ...
Bai Shan, who was sitting in the car, was telling Man Bao, "We should all stay away from Ji Hao from now on. He is a man who doesn't care about his life. What if he gets us into trouble?"
Manbao nodded, looked at the bustling street market outside and asked, "Are we still going shopping?"
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang said in unison: "Go!"
Bai Shan said to Daji through the curtain: "Daji, we are going to play."
Daji responded and drove the horse towards the main street, which was the busiest place at the moment. They could walk around, turn a corner, get on the carriage and go home.
After jumping off the carriage and looking up at the bustling street, the three of them looked at each other and laughed, then ran towards the crowd and had fun.
The atmosphere between Ji Ying and his family, who were still staying in the county government office, was not so good. County Magistrate Tang said that the trial would be retrial tomorrow, so it would be retrial tomorrow.
But before the formal interrogation and verdict, he did not stop the two parties from discussing some things, no, it should be three parties.
He and the county government behind him formed a separate group.
No one knew what they had discussed before, but by the time Manbao and the others found out, Ying Wenhai had already been redeemed.
It is said that the Ji family pleaded for mercy on behalf of the Ying family in front of County Magistrate Tang. County Magistrate Tang, considering that the Ying family actively compensated the Ji family after the incident and that Ji Hao also had a certain responsibility for the conflict, sentenced Ying Wenhai to three years for negligent injury.
After the verdict was announced, the Ying family took money to the county government to redeem the person. Two days later, Ying Wenhai was taken to the capital by people from the Pei family.
This news was spread by Pei Yun, a second-year student at the provincial school. Mrs. Ying has now gone to Qixia Temple to practice cultivation and may not be able to come down the mountain until the New Year.
The teachers and students who originally had a bad impression of Ying Wenhai because of the Qixia Mountain incident felt that Ying Wenhai was not as cruel and vicious as they had imagined.
Pei Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Wei Ting said to Bai Shan, "The Pei family is really trying hard to restore Ying Wenhai's reputation."
Bai Shan moved away in disgust and said, "Don't get too close."
Wei Ting put his hand on his shoulder and said, "We are good brothers. We have climbed over the wall and shed blood together."
Bai Shan slapped his claws away and said, "The only one bleeding is Ji Hao."
Wei Ting curled his lips, withdrew his hand and sat down obediently. Ever since the incident at Qixia Mountain, several of Wei Ting's classmates who were good friends with Ji Hao automatically regarded Bai Shan as one of their own.
Although he still has a cold face in daily life, everyone knows that he is a warm-hearted person. Just look at Ji Hao.
The two of them were arguing at first, but when Ji Hao was in danger, he still rushed to the front.
So when facing such a loyal and righteous classmate, it doesn't matter if his face is a little cold, everyone still likes to make friends with him.
Bai Shan was very disgusted with this, because ever since they knew that he had two friends who liked to climb over the wall to sneak into the school to read books, they especially liked to cover up for them. God knows that Manbao and Bai Erlang didn't care about their covering up at all.
Without them, few people in the provincial school knew about this. Now, even Bai Shan was not sure whether this was still a secret in the provincial school.
The next update will be around 9pm
