Chapter 300 Reversal
"Sir, I am not a good person, but I am not a treacherous villain. As long as the Zhang family is well behaved, I will never have any other thoughts."
Boss Ma hated Old Man Ma over the years, and this hatred has penetrated deep into his bones.
Boss Ma conspired with Zhang and had agreed in advance that once they got the money from the Ma family, they would split it in half. He even tried to appease Zhang by saying that he was willing to take her away with him.
"Then why did you want to kill Zhang to silence her? Did Zhang threaten you with something?"
The prefect lamented that killing is a heinous crime, and everyone who makes a mistake is trying to whitewash their behavior.
However, Zhang deserved to die, after all, murder means death.
Speaking of threats, Boss Ma clenched his fists and said viciously, "Zhang should never threaten me with Cuilan!"
That day, Zhang was inseparable from Old Man Ma, and used North Street to threaten Old Man Ma, and even said that his own mother, Old Lady Ma, had an affair with the doorman.
Zhang has violated principles and is proud of it, so he cannot be kept!
"If we keep Zhang, trouble will arise sooner or later."
Boss Ma used the same trick again and tricked Zhang into taking the drug powder. When Zhang was unconscious, he tricked her into climbing a tree.
In order to clear his suspicion, Boss Ma specially called his whole family to watch and even took the initiative to rescue people.
"The nails of the ladder's mortise and tenon joints had been pulled out by me in advance, so the ladder could not bear the weight and I fell down."
Boss Ma stood under the tree and watched the whole process of Zhang's hanging.
The rope pulled Zhang's neck hard. She stuck out her tongue with a hideous look on her face, but she didn't struggle for long.
Seeing this scene, Boss Ma felt relieved.
"After Zhang's death, Feng Waizui found me and told me that he knew my secret. If I was willing to give him a portion of my wealth, he would keep the secret and help me get rid of Ma Xiaoqin."
At this point, Boss Ma realized that there is no wall that is impenetrable. He and Zhang conspired to murder Old Man Ma, and Ma Xiaoqin and her husband heard it.
If their interests conflict, Ma Xiaoqin and Feng Waizui will inevitably have to pay a heavy debt if they sue the authorities.
Even if the two of them didn't have solid evidence, what if the matter between Old Man Ma and Zhang didn't stand up to scrutiny...
"I promised Feng Waizui that I would use the startled horse to trap the couple, hoping to catch them all in one fell swoop. But who knew that they were lucky enough to be rescued by Miss Hongxiu."
At this point, Boss Ma was completely exposed and was brought to the court by officials from the yamen.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoqin could no longer hold on and fell to her knees on the ground, crying bitterly.
She guessed that she was betrayed by her partner, but she felt very disappointed when she heard from Boss Ma that Feng Waizui was planning to kill his wife for money.
"Sir, please handle this impartially."
Ma Xiaoqin kowtowed devoutly. After Ma Lao Da's head was chopped off, her mother and the doorman had no face to stay in the Ma family. In the end, the money still belonged to her and her second brother. The brother and sister were the only flesh and blood of the Ma family.
If you have money, who would want a husband with such evil ambitions?
Ma Xiaoqin pretended to be blind, and when she thought of the money that was about to come into her hands, she breathed a sigh of relief. She felt secretly happy in her heart for surviving a disaster.
"Sir, the real murderer is a commoner."
The doorman who had been silent all this time took a step forward, knelt on the ground and said with tears streaming down his face: "I shouldn't have stayed in the Ma family. The eldest son is a kind-hearted child. When he found out that I was the murderer, he stepped forward and took the blame!"
"No, the murderer is this woman. She has wanted to kill this old man for a long time!"
Old Mrs. Ma also knelt down, tears streaming down her face. She looked at Ambassador Ma, hoping that her son would be obedient.
Having lived to this age, it will be the end of my life in a few years. It won’t be a loss if I die now. On the contrary, Boss Ma will have a long life ahead of him.
A family of three competed over who was the murderer, and then hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Feng Waizui wailed, "Xiaoqin, listen to me, I didn't conspire with Boss Ma, I just wanted to threaten him for some money, he is trying to sow discord between you and me!"
Ma Xiaoqin pretended not to hear and didn't even look at Feng Waizui. Instead, she stood with Ma Laoer, showing their deep brotherly love.
The court was in chaos, even busier than a vegetable market.
Hongli looked left and right, and finally asked Jiang Yuzhu for help: "Madam, I am running out of ideas. Who of them is telling the truth?"
"You read several volumes of Da Qi Law for nothing?"
Jiang Yuzhu rolled her eyes at Hongli and explained, "To convict someone of murder, both human and material evidence are important. The key to this case is the drug powder that Boss Ma used repeatedly."
Yan Lin also noticed this problem and muttered: "Is there any kind of powder that can make people hallucinate? This is simply killing people invisibly!"
On this point, Boss Ma did not seem to be lying, otherwise Zhang's behavior would not be explainable.
"I do know of one thing."
If rice flower is involved as Jiang Yuzhu guessed, things will only become more complicated.
According to Boss Ma, only a small amount of powder was needed to achieve the confusing effect, which shows that someone has already mastered the purification process!
"Could it be a rice husk flower?"
Yan Lin also thought of it and found it somewhat unbelievable. That was a banned drug that was only recorded in the ancestral books of the Yan family. Because of the serious side effects, no one in Da Qi had planted it for a long time.
Yan Lin and Jiang Yuzhu looked at each other, both with solemn expressions.
Outside the court, there was a sudden silence.
Next, the people made way for a passage, and a beautiful woman in a goose yellow dress came to the door of the court with her son.
"Mom, what are we doing here?"
The little kid was only a few years old, following the beautiful woman with a confused look on his face.
The beautiful woman squatted down, touched his head gently and said, "Mom will bring you to see your father."
When the mother and son entered, the atmosphere in the court became stagnant.
Boss Ma took two quick steps, grabbed the woman's hand and said, "Cui Lan, why did you bring your son here?"
The two had agreed to meet again after leaving the city. After Boss Ma dealt with the Ma family's assets, he would take his parents away, and the family of five would find a place where no one knew them to start over and reunite.
Boss Ma saw Cuilan leave the city with his own eyes, but he didn’t expect her to come back!
"If I don't come back, will you bear the blame alone?"
Cuilan showed a gentle smile, her heart and eyes were full of Boss Ma. The man she liked was a man of integrity.
"Sir, the real murderer is me, and I have evidence."
Cuilan knelt on the ground and spoke clearly, "But killing old man Ma is not what I want. He deserves to die."
Cuilan has had a miserable life and has long had feelings for Boss Ma.
Before the two got engaged, Old Man Ma went to Cuilan's parents' home and spent a large sum of money to buy her away.
During this period, Boss Ma was completely unaware of the situation and was sent away to collect sesame seeds.
When he came back, Cuilan had already been raped and her innocence lost.
"If I don't kill old man Ma, my husband and Xiaobao will die!"
The husband Cuilan mentioned is Boss Ma, and Xiaobao is their son.
The most she could do was to act before old man Ma and not sit and wait for death!
