Yan Fugui and the Shen family could guess that Zheng Ya had the ability to kill Old Lady Long and the others, and Old Lady Long and the others also guessed it.
Faced with a choice between life and death, what should you do?
The people in the courtyard who had originally helped Granny Long and others frame Zheng Ya all had long faces, filled with remorse.
Why did you have to provoke Zheng Ya, that killer star!
Just bear with it, isn't it better to remain neutral?
Now look what's happened! Offending Zheng Ya has planted a seed of retribution for us!
It's no longer a secret that Zheng Ya possesses the ability to retrieve objects from a distance and to inflict retribution on people remotely.
Unfortunately, talking about this would be considered feudal superstition, so it's best not to.
Not speaking is like a knife that kills without drawing blood!
Who knows when Zheng Ya might stab me in the back? How am I supposed to live like that?
Even if Zheng Ya doesn't retaliate, those who offend him are still filled with unease, fearing that he might secretly stab them in the back!
Isn't this like killing someone by attacking their spirit?
At this moment, even the previously arrogant Wu Wei quietly retreated to the side to watch the show, not daring to look at Zheng Ya even once.
He was afraid that if he looked at Zheng Ya, he would provoke Zheng Ya's revenge.
Even if Zheng Ya can't do anything to her?
But she didn't want to be confronted by Zheng Ya, who said, "Your previous reasoning about the case was so grand and impressive, tell me what the result was?"
Even just this one sentence is enough to negate her entire being, and if it gets out, it will be a major stain on her life.
Before the truth of the case is revealed, this stain will become a source of anxiety for Wu Wei, and she will be looked down upon for her nonsense.
Therefore, Wu Wei chose to remain silent, hoping that Zheng Ya would not cause her any trouble.
Zheng Ya genuinely didn't take her seriously, believing that the harm caused by being ignored is sometimes the most hurtful.
It's frustrating to think about someone who makes you not want to even look at them or retaliate. Why should you?
Therefore, Zheng Ya had no eyes for Wu Wei, but he couldn't get enough of the people in the courtyard!
Whoever your eyes land on immediately receives over 80 points of unfaithfulness!
This is a huge windfall.
When the old director couldn't get a reply from the people in the institute, he laughed in exasperation: "Since none of you are saying anything, can I assume that you want to accept Comrade Zheng Ya's accusation?"
"Ahem, officers, I'm getting senile, and I may have said something I shouldn't have. Please forgive me."
"Zhonghai, did we say anything nonsense?" Old Lady Long began to feign madness.
Yi Zhonghai was so angry he almost vomited blood. He felt that this old lady was a jinx, and she was deliberately pushing him out to be a scapegoat.
Despite his thoughts, Yi Zhonghai dared not show them and immediately replied, "Did the old lady hear something from someone today?"
Why should we agree with you?
You've really put us in a terrible situation this time! Tell us quickly, what happened during the day?
"Oh, ah, let me think... right, this morning when I went out to sunbathe, Jia Zhangshi grabbed my hand and threatened me?"
They forced me to say that Zheng Ya was an enemy agent, and that all the evidence and where it was hidden were forced upon me by Jia Zhangshi.
I was afraid he would use sticks to hit me or throw stones at me. I couldn't possibly argue with a child, could I?
Besides, I listened to her speak so detailedly and earnestly that I mistakenly believed everything she said was true. If the Zheng family really were enemy agents, then speaking up for her would be serving socialism, wouldn't it?
"Who knew it would turn out like this? Waaah!" Old Mrs. Long started crying as she spoke.
Jia Zhangshi was stunned. Yi Zhonghai roared angrily at Jia Zhangshi, "Sister-in-law Jia, what do you want to do?"
"Now look what's happened! You falsely accused the Zheng family of being enemy spies, and even threatened the old lady to have us cover for you. You've really gotten us into serious trouble..."
"Ahhh, what? I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! Old Jia, come back and see! Someone is bullying us orphans and widows! Come back and take them away..." After regaining her senses, Jia Zhangshi sat down on the ground and then rolled around on the ground, throwing a tantrum.
This gave Wu Wei an excuse to interject: "Director, this old woman is engaging in feudal superstition in public. Should we arrest her and interrogate her?"
Maybe she knows where the enemy agents are hiding?
"Wait, you can investigate the case, I don't want to interfere."
But you people are slandering my family as enemy agents and the Zheng family as twelve martyrs. Don't think you can just let this go.
Since so many people are involved, I need three thousand yuan to settle this matter.
Listen carefully, this is not extortion, but compensation for your sins of slandering the twelve martyrs and their descendants, and for the damage to your spiritual and honorable reputation.
"If any of you dare to say no, you'll all be in jail!" Zheng Ya was furious. They were all trying to escape punishment. Fine, they'd pay up.
As for who the people in the courtyard would find to be a scapegoat, that was not something Zheng Ya cared about.
After all, the police also need an explanation to close the case.
Making false reports or accusations will result in legal consequences.
The shrewd and experienced Old Lady Long immediately declared, "Oh dear, we'll have to pay compensation again. The Jia Zhang family is so poor they can't even afford to eat, and now we're being dragged into paying for it. Oh dear, my life savings..."
Fake crying conveys a message.
Tell Zheng Ya that they will collectively share the loss and that he should not pursue the matter any further.
At the same time, it sends a signal to Jia Zhangshi: if you don't have money to pay compensation, then confess and go to jail for everyone.
This was exactly what Jia Zhangshi, who valued money over life, wanted.
After all, since Jia Zhangshi personally went to report the crime, she couldn't shirk the title of being recommended and condoned, or the mastermind.
What else?
Why was it you, Jia Zhangshi, who called the police out of the more than one hundred people in the hospital?
After a while, Jia Zhangshi realized what had happened and lay on the ground pretending to be dead. She dared not cry out or summon her spirit anymore, and tacitly agreed to go to the police station to confess without paying compensation.
Yi Zhonghai immediately chimed in: "Jia Zhangshi, confess your guilt!"
You've ruined everyone in the compound, and now we have to chip in to clean up your mess. If you can come up with this compensation, consider us unlucky, and we'll plead guilty along with you.
What do you mean? Give me a straight answer.
"Don't waste the police officers' time?"
"Haha," the old director sneered repeatedly, realizing that Jia Zhangshi had been used as a pawn and would ultimately become a scapegoat.
Of course, Madam Jia insisted that she was lying to retaliate against Zheng Ya, blaming him for not helping the Jia family and for being malicious and ignorant of the law. She asked for forgiveness, saying that her crime was not serious.
The premise is that Zheng Ya does not pursue the matter further.
Otherwise, Jia Zhangshi would truly become a scapegoat for Old Lady Long and the others.
These days, framing martyrs, especially those who falsely accuse the twelve martyrs, or falsely accusing their relatives, carries a much heavier burden of guilt.
If this kind of thing gets back to the military compound, it's bound to cause a huge stir.
Soldiers risked their lives and shed their blood to build this country; how can we allow petty people to slander us?
If things go wrong, they might send out a whole regiment of soldiers to kill him, drag him out and shoot him, and even the police wouldn't dare say anything.
This is a soldier's right to defend his rights, uphold the honor of martyrs, stand up for his comrades, and defend the country. What's wrong with that?
Who dares to say he's guilty? Isn't his military medal enough to atone for his crime?
After all, the laws of that era were not yet perfect, and soldiers had a lot of power, but they would not abuse their power.
This is the power that the times have bestowed upon soldiers.
Therefore, even if Jia Zhangshi was foolish, she knew she had been tricked by Old Lady Long and her gang today. She got up in frustration and cried, "Waaah, I... I'm getting senile, I talked nonsense, I'm guilty, waaaah!"
