“Shi Mianzhi, come here, I’m going to burn us all down.”
"Heaven knows my justice, and that puts my mind at ease."
A sudden smile appeared on Shi Zhongsheng's tearful face.
He slowly opened his palms towards Shi Mianzhi's direction.
Shi Mianzhi: No! He doesn't want to die.
Song Guangxiu raised his hand and slapped his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
"Smack!"
Is this little rascal here to help or to cause trouble?
"Shi Zhongsheng, speak out whatever grievances you have, and I will certainly stand up for you," Song Guangxiu tried to salvage the situation.
Impersonation, collusion with evil spirits, incest between uncle and sister-in-law, embezzlement of public funds.
At this point, none of the crimes that Mianzhi committed were minor.
"No need," Shi Zhongsheng said with a relieved calm.
"Too many years have passed, there is no evidence, and they will not admit it."
"With officials protecting each other, who knows how things will eventually be distorted?"

The people inside the woodshed heard the commotion and immediately started crying out in fright.
Madam Shi said, "I admit my mistake, I confess my guilt. I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed back then, and I shouldn't have encouraged my son to steal your academic honors."
"Please spare this old woman. I'm too old to be cremated, and there won't be any ashes left."
Gu Caiwei said, "I shouldn't have teamed up with Shi Mianzhi to lie to you and even drugged you."
"All of this was because of Shi Mianzhi's temptation of me. Please let me go."
"You should burn him, I don't want to die."
"You bitch! You actually want me to die just to save your own life!" Shi Mianzhi exclaimed angrily.
