Hang Er's confession almost made Hang Lixing collapse. He wanted to kick this idiot to death!
His face was ashen, and he felt even more upset when he felt the mocking glances from those around him. "Second brother, have you thought it through? Was it a woman who wanted to murder you, and that's why you were beaten to death by the servants? What the others said can't be true, right?"
Hang Er was also shocked. "Yes, big brother, I didn't kill anyone. That bitch seduced me and insisted on following me home. I let her in to eat because she was taking care of the children. Who knew that the boy, who had never eaten good food, would choke to death? That greedy woman blackmailed me and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, the servants at home acted quickly..."
Hang Er broke out in a cold sweat.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that killing someone means paying with one's life.
Especially the two women he killed, both were girls from decent families. Now there are so many dignitaries sitting here. Even if he can bribe Zong Ling's father, he can't wash away this crime.
"Nonsense! My daughter is not that kind of person! That day, you took a fancy to her and threatened my grandson, insisting on inviting her back to your house! My daughter couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to obey. She never expected that she would never come out alive! I secretly asked people and found out that you killed her with your own hands! My son-in-law received 500 taels of silver from you to keep his mouth shut, so he didn't tell anyone the truth!"
"Sir, we have evidence! Just call the witnesses and ask them, and you'll know! Many neighbors saw him robbing people!"
“…”
Since Zhuang Jiu had taken action, he would not give Hang Er a chance to quibble.
Immediately afterwards, witnesses were summoned one by one.
There were witnesses from the neighbors, servants from the Hang family mansion, and even the husband of the deceased showed up. No one knew what the husband had been through, and he looked extremely miserable and scared. He knelt there and stated the truth one by one.
The families of other women also broke down the evidence in a very organized manner and presented it to Lord Zong.
Many people know that the Hang family has raised many good women.
For example, Shi Ting has always been aware of it and never took it seriously, but now he has to study the law in the academy, and now he knows that Hang Er's approach was wrong.
I even felt panicked and guilty.
Hang Er once sent him a girl, and he accepted her. Now she is his concubine...
Shi Ting recalled the previous bastard incident and heard about Hang Er's murder. He felt a little scared and stood up honestly: "Sir, I can also testify that he, he has raped women. Because one of them... he took her away in front of me. I was also a bastard at that time. I didn't think it was a big deal and didn't stop him. I even joined him in molesting her..."
Sting knelt, feeling humiliated and uncomfortable.
He didn't know whether the little girl killed by Hang Er was the one who was kidnapped in front of him. If so, then he should also be an accomplice, right?
But he didn't know what was going on at the time, and couldn't figure out why he was such a jerk...
Eight out of ten students present were unable to raise their heads.
Because they are all the same.
It’s just that he didn’t do it as blatantly as Hang Er, who took the person home or even killed him.
In the past, when I saw those gorgeously dressed girls in the streets, I couldn't help but comment on them, or even go up to them and say a few words of laughter. I felt very satisfied when I saw those girls covering their faces and running away...
Now that I think about it… no wonder others have always looked down on them.
