Upon hearing the verdict, Feng Qiaoer immediately screamed in panic.
"You're wrongly accusing me. You say I killed someone. Which eye of yours saw me kill anyone? I refuse to accept... I refuse to accept!"
"Feng Qiao'er, you said I wronged you, but in this little dark room you personally admitted that you killed Zhang Erleng, Qiao, and Xu Wentao."
"What about the four people in front?"
Magistrate Luo ordered Old Man Feng, who had been beaten with thirty boards, and the crazy woman to be brought up.
As soon as Old Man Feng saw Feng Qiaoer, he lowered his head guiltily.
Magistrate Luo pointed at the two of them and said, "You killed Gao Xingfu and Wu Dahuai based on your father's confession, and you killed Li Guozhu and Li Bagua with Mrs. Wu's own eyes. Feng Qiaoer... even if you had a hundred mouths, you wouldn't be able to justify these evil deeds you've done!"
Hearing this, Feng Qiaoer collapsed to the ground in despair.
Due to Feng Qiaoer's confession, Xu Wentao's case involved another person. Shu Guozhong, who was still in the inn, was captured by the police who suddenly broke in.
Shu Guozhong was bewildered. When he heard the officer say that Feng Qiaoer had admitted to Xu Wentao's affair, he surrendered obediently despite having been resisting.
But Mrs. Ke and Old Man Shu didn't understand why.
Mrs. Ke pulled at the officer and cried loudly, "You bastards, please let my son go, or I will fight you..."
The old man from Shu also helped out, saying, "Brother officers, my son is a law-abiding, first-class citizen. Why are you arresting him? You can't arrest people like this!"
"Humph! Your son has killed someone. If you have anything to say, go to the government office and tell them!"
When the officers said Shu Guozhong had killed someone, the old man pulled his son's clothes in disbelief. He asked, "Son, is what the officers said true? But how could you have killed someone? Who do you have such a deep hatred for?"
Shu Guozhong kept his head down and didn't dare to speak. Before being taken away by the officers, he turned to Old Man Shu and pleaded, "Dad... I'm still young, I really don't want to die. Please save me, please go find Zhen Meng and save me..."
"Son...son..."
Watching Shu Guozhong being taken away by the officers, Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke hurried to the general's mansion.
The guards of the general's mansion already knew the relationship between Old Man Shu and Zhuang Zhenmeng, so they did not pass it on this time. They brought Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke to Zhuang Zhenmeng's house.
"My lady, your adoptive father and parents want to see you."
Zhuang Zhenmeng, who had already packed her bag, was so scared when she heard the arrival of Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke that she quickly threw the bag into the cabinet.
After hurriedly closing the cabinet, Zhuang Zhenmeng pretended nothing had happened and walked to the door and opened it.
"Godfather, parents, why are you here?"
As soon as she saw Zhuang Zhenmeng, Mrs. Ke immediately grabbed her.
Mrs. Ke cried, "Zhenmeng, you must save your brother. He is your biological brother!"
When Zhuang Zhenmeng heard what Mrs. Ke said, her face turned pale.
After dragging Mrs. Ke and Old Man Shu into the room, Zhuang Zhenmeng scolded them, "What's wrong with you two? This is the general's residence. How dare you talk nonsense here? Aren't you trying to harm me?"
"No, Zhenmeng, I didn't mean it. It was your eldest brother..."
Zhuang Zhenmeng thought that Ke was using Shu Guozhong to talk about Feng Qiaoer, so she said impatiently, "Alright, you want my father to come forward to save Feng Qiaoer, but I'm trying to find a way now, right?"
