Chapter 313 Release Yang Ling'er
After a long silence, County Magistrate Yang asked, "Is Ling'er's death related to you?"
He was asking about Yang Hezhi.
In the dream, his step-wife handed Ling'er to a man in black. He didn't think about it carefully in the dream and was extremely angry. After calming down, he realized that the man looked very much like the follower who had just blocked the door.
This attendant came to Hezhi's side shortly after Ling'er's death.
If he didn't know about the relationship between his son and his second wife, he wouldn't have suspected his son. But now that he knows about their dirty deeds, it's hard for him not to be suspicious.
"Did Ling'er discover your relationship? So, you killed her to silence her."
He remembered that Ling'er had told him that she saw her second wife appear on the other side of the rockery in the middle of the night. At that time, he just thought that Ling'er wanted to alienate their relationship and did not take it to heart.
"How do you know this?"
Yang Hezhi still looked calm and asked, "Did the people in the guest house tell you? Did they bring you here today?"
He was curious about how much those people knew, how they knew it, and what exactly the profound skills of the Wei imperial princess were.
If it was good, why couldn't he even break the new formation he had set up?
"I'm your father. If you answer me, did you kill your sister?" County Magistrate Yang roared in a low voice.
Yang Hezhi's eyes were dark, and it was unknown what he was thinking. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "Yes, I killed him."
"Why would you do this? She's your own sister!"
After asking, I found it ridiculous. He even slept with his stepmother and even drugged his own father, so why wouldn't he kill his own sister?
He stared at Yang Hezhi and felt extremely unfamiliar. Was this man really his son?
Yang Hezhi pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "Haven't you already guessed the reason?"
"What about the other forty-eight people? How did they offend you? What was your purpose in making their coffins look like that?"
Ling'er, who died in his hands, finally appeared in that cave. No matter how you think about it, the other coffins in the cave are all related to his son.
The mountain was under his name, but it was managed by his step-wife. They colluded with each other and committed such evil things on his mountain without caring about his life or death.
Yang Hezhi frowned deeply, "What do those forty-eight people have to do with me?"
He felt that his father Hutu was just trying to trick him.
"Don't even think of quibbling. Those people at the government office, Wang Peng, are your people. So, I had no idea that so many women had died. You must have worked together to keep it a secret, right?"
Yang Jun Shou clenched his fists angrily, "How ridiculous! You've fooled a father like me into submission.
When you negotiated for me to be transferred to Wutong County, was it just so that I could be a public figure to facilitate your actions? "
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Yang Hezhi sneered, "You have falsely accused me of murdering forty-nine people. How can you, as a county governor and a father, have a good ending?
If you are not feeling well, go back and take care of yourself. I will take care of these things for you. As for this woman, if you want her, you can continue to use her.
If you don't need it, your son can find some new entertainment for you. I guarantee that you won't be bored for the rest of your life, as long as you continue to be an honest county magistrate."
His indifferent tone sent a chill down Yang Jun Shou's spine, "I was fooled by you all these years, I was stupid, but do you think those people in the guest house are stupid?
With so many lives, why are you so confident that they can't find out about you? Have you been praised too much and now you really think you can do anything, becoming a frog in a well.
In their eyes, a mere county magistrate is nothing, not to mention you, the son of the county magistrate. Even if they were to kill you right then and there, it would only take a flick of their hand."
This son has been a smart student since he was young. Whenever he heard others praising his son, he would feel proud. Now he finds it extremely ironic.
"Shut up, when did I ever say it was me?"
Yang Hezhi finally showed a hint of impatience. "No matter how high your position is, you need a reason to kill someone. What right do they have to kill me? Come on, send the master back home to recover. Anyone who fails to take good care of him will be killed."
What Hu Tu's father said was right. It would be easy for them to kill him, but the prerequisite was that they could trace him back to him. However, he should have been more cautious since someone who should have been unconscious appeared here.
Immediately, two servants appeared, holding Yang Junshou on the left and right. For the first time, Yang Junshou truly realized that he no longer had the final say in this family.
No, not just at home, but also in the government office.
Otherwise, if a murder happened and he, the head of the county, did not show up, how could no one come to look for him? Because he had long been sidelined by his son and was only holding the empty title of county magistrate.
County Magistrate Yang gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he did not dare to shout. If he really let those people in the guest house know that the corpses in the cave were caused by his son, he would be charged with the crime of confiscating his property and exterminating his entire family.
He hasn't figured out how to make a decision yet.
But as soon as he was dragged out of the door by two servants, he saw Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan standing in the yard, and Yang Hezhi's two followers were also escorted by the guards of Prince Rong's Mansion.
"You...why are you here?" County Magistrate Yang said in a panic.
He vaguely guessed that he came to his son's study because someone brought him there while he was unconscious, and thought that the other party wanted him to discover the affair between his son and his step-wife.
I didn't expect it to be Wei Qingyan and the others, and they were waiting in the yard.
Inside the room, Yang Hezhi heard the commotion and came out. He narrowed his eyes slightly and then bowed, just as humbly as before. "I wonder why your Highnesses are arresting my followers?"
"They are suspected of killing multiple innocent girls, so they must be arrested."
Wei Qingyan said, "Young Master Yang is also here, but before that, I'm a little curious. Who is Young Master Yang's master? And what is the purpose of the arrangement in the cave?"
"I don't know what Your Highness means. Is there any misunderstanding?" Yang Hezhi looked panicked.
Wei Qingyan didn't want to watch him act anymore, so he said bluntly, "We checked out Young Master Yang's house and found quite a few things. Is Young Master Yang using this as leverage to prevent the deceased's family from reporting the body to the authorities?
In Young Master Yang's opinion, would those people tell the truth when they see the things in the album?"
Yang Hezhi's expression suddenly changed.
"So this is how the royal family of Wei are brought up, barging into other people's houses and searching through their belongings."
Now that you've been discovered, there's no need to act terrified.
He thought he had pretended well enough and had never thought that Wei Qingyan would check his house. He was also confident that his things were hidden secretly enough, but they found them so easily.
But even if he was found out, he was not afraid.
He quickly regained his composure. "It's just some personal quirks. There's no law in Fengzhao that forbids people from having their own little quirks. If Wei has them, it has no influence on the people of Fengzhao...ah..."
Shi Yu moved to the side of Yang Hezhi's servant, took off the wooden hairpin on his head, and threw it casually. The hairpin pierced Yang Hezhi's chest.
"Your father was right about the frog in the well."
Shi Yu said with disgust, "You are just the son of a mere county magistrate, yet you dare to look down on everyone with your cleverness? Not to mention that you are a murderer, we have every right to search your house, and even to raze it to the ground."
"The Queen is in power and has always required that cases be handled with reason and evidence. You are new to Fengzhao and I think you don't know the rules of Fengzhao yet. I don't blame you.
But Your Highness says I'm the murderer. Where's the evidence? According to Fengzhao law, making random accusations without evidence will result in imprisonment. A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner. The Empress has always been fair."
Wei Qingyan smiled, "Didn't you just admit that you killed Yang Ling'er?"
"When have I ever admitted that Your Highness should not take advantage of your status to bully students at will?" Yang Hezhi looked at the guards behind Wei Qingyan, "They are your people, they don't count."
"What about the victims themselves?"
As Wei Qingyan finished speaking, a black shadow flew out from her sleeve. The shadow gradually took on a human form and landed beside Wei Qingyan.
"Ah!" Mrs. Yang, who was hiding behind the door, was so scared that she fell to the ground, her hands and feet shaking.
County Magistrate Yang's face turned pale. The servant who was supporting him screamed and let go of him. But before he could escape, Dong Zang raised his hand and knocked him unconscious to the ground.
"Your Highness really does possess sorcery." Yang Hezhi took a step back in fear. "No wonder something bad happened to our mansion after Your Highness arrived. It turned out to be Your Highness who really used sorcery. What is Your Highness's purpose in harming our Yang family..."
