Chapter 51 The Shocking Truth
Everyone looked at Liu in surprise.
Liu's cunning face suddenly became guilty, and her eyes wandered around in panic.
Dong Jinrong supported her mother-in-law, "Mom, what's going on?"
Liu knelt down immediately and said, "Mom, I'm so old and I'm dying. Please have pity on me, I..." She didn't want her mother-in-law, the only one who knew the truth, to expose her.
The ancestor of the Zhan family was kind-hearted and was quite hesitant at this moment.
Zhan Hengyi looked at Madam Liu coldly, his tone extremely cold, "Back in the old house, when Madam Zhang and Madam Liu begged you like this, why didn't you show them some pity and let them go?"
Liu's expression trembled, and she collapsed to the ground, the corners of her mouth twitching.
Everyone in the Zhan family was confused.
Zhan Peilin asked, "Third brother, what's going on? Tell big brother."
Zhan Hengyi nodded, then called out to his men standing outside the door, "Adjutant Xu, bring the men up."
…
Soon, Zhan Hengyi and several of his men brought up the old man they had captured in Pingxi Village.
His eye sockets were dark and his lips were purple. The old man smoked too much opium. He had been locked up by Zhan Hengyi for the past few days and had no access to smoke. He was now listless and looked weak and in pain.
When Liu saw him, her breath was choked.
The old man's voice was hoarse and he said in a strange and low voice, "Liu, you are a liar."
Adjutant Xu kicked the old man down and said, "Tell me what good things you have done."
The old man told the Zhan family the whole story about how Liu invited a witch from her hometown to set up a vicious feng shui formation in order to destroy the Zhan family. She arranged for him to kill Madam Zhang and Madam Liu, who were born on an unlucky year, month and time.
When the old ancestor heard this, he staggered back a step with his crutches, covering his heart.
Dong Jinrong quickly supported her and said worriedly, "Mom, please don't get angry."
The old man continued, "Liu, you and I were childhood sweethearts in the village. We were engaged, but later your father became a Chinese medicine practitioner and made a fortune selling medicinal herbs, so you left me and went to the city to marry someone else.
Not long after, you returned to the countryside to worship your ancestors. You told me that your husband treated you badly and you regretted it. We had sex, over and over again. Later, when you became pregnant, you told me the child was mine. You asked me to do things for you, saying that when the child grew up and inherited the Zhan family business, you would be with me forever. I was deceived by you for so many years.
You lied to me when you said Zhan Peilin was my son. I've killed so many people for you over the years. My life is ruined, all because of you."
In fact, when Zhan Hengyi first interrogated the old man, he kept his mouth shut and refused to talk about his affair with Liu.
Zhan Hengyi made him suffer a bit. As for the details, they are military secrets, so I won't go into details. In short, halfway through the series of punishments, the old man said that he was Zhan Peilin's biological father. He said that if Zhan Hengyi dared to kill him, Zhan Peilin would definitely not agree if he knew the truth.
When Zhan Hengyi heard this, he immediately showed the old man a photo of the Zhan family men hunting in the suburbs.
Zhan Hengyi asked the old man to look carefully. In the photo, all the men in the Zhan family, regardless of age, had a red birthmark above their wrists, located in the same position, the size of a fingernail, and shaped like a dragon head.
All the men in the Zhan family's ancestors had this.
When the old man saw the birthmark on Zhan Peilin's wrist in the photo, he immediately realized that he had been deceived by Liu. He then came to his senses and decided to testify and expose Liu.
Liu sneered, "Oh, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. You all rely on your mouth, Zhan Hengyi, in order to bring me down, you just found an old man and tortured him to frame me. You are really cruel."
Nan Chengcheng was displeased, her eyes suddenly filled with a bone-chilling cold light, "Zhan Hengyi is the young marshal who leads tens of thousands of Zhan family troops. What charm do you have that makes him deliberately plot against you? He disdains such things, you can't insult him.
You're still stubborn, aren't you? I'll lay the evidence before you.
Please follow me to the courtyard."
