Fang Jingru was also shocked. Her brother was not dead, and her Fang family still had descendants.
Zhao Letong couldn't bear to tell her the truth. Fang Jing'an had to go through countless pains to survive. It was too difficult.
Princess Yi Yang's face was pale. It was over, completely over.
Xia Ruhai slammed the gavel, "Chen Boyang, do you have anything else to say?"
Chen Boyang quickly came back to his senses and burst into laughter: "What can I say? You've been preparing for years, just waiting for this day, to see me suffer the consequences?
Do you think you can kill me like this?"
Fang Jingan frowned. What other tricks did he have?
Xia Ruhai was not going to tolerate him. "Chen Boyang, I'm asking you a question. You dare to defy the court? Do you believe I will punish you severely?"
Not to mention a marquis, he even dares to hit a prince.
Zhao Youping has already explained the whole story of this case, and since it involves the second-in-command of the East Factory, Xia Ruhai is even more cautious.
The witness testimonies are all accurate and they are just waiting for Chen Boyang to plead guilty and be punished.
Fang Jing'an frowned, feeling that he was unreasonably calm, and his fearless look made him feel uneasy.
Chen Boyang said, "I admit that I trafficked in contraband salt and iron, but I plead not guilty to the Fang family case. It's not that I framed them; someone in the Fang family was guilty of these crimes. The Fang family is not wrongly accused and deserves death."
"You're talking nonsense! Are you even human? You used the Fang family's money to support your entire family, but you turned against me and bit me. I feel sick to have a father like you."
Chen Xinyue was so angry that she almost died. This man would rather plead guilty than let the Fang family go. What kind of vengeance or hatred was this?
Fang Jingan said: "You said this is indeed the case, but it is exactly the opposite of what you said. You bribed my second uncle and let him use the Fang family's goods to cover up and make profits for you. You are the mastermind behind the scenes.
You want evidence, right? The shopkeeper, the clerk, and the servants of your mansion can all testify."
"A servant from the Marquis' Mansion?"
"I want you to die knowing full well. You've done all these sinful things, and you're afraid people will find out. You've replaced all the old people, and you've silenced them. I've painstakingly found their descendants, and the secret letter they left behind, which contains the order you gave, is enough to expose you."
Chen Boyang stopped talking. Chen Xinyue could guess what he was thinking. If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again if the wind blows. He was not reflecting on his mistakes, but thinking about how to get rid of it more thoroughly in the future.
Zhao Letong didn't expect that there was another story behind this. The Fang family also had some negligence. It is difficult to guard against a thief in the family.
How many people did Chen Boyang, a marquis, kill? He was truly cruel.
