Fang Jinyu was holding a prescription in her hand, which was a record of Wang Ming buying poppies at the pharmacy. Because Wang Ming did not have any money, all his expenses were recorded in the account of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion.

Naturally, this batch of opium poppies was also blamed on the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis. However, when Fang Jinyu's men were monitoring the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, they learned that the Loyal and Brave Marquis had already secretly burned and buried the record of purchasing opium poppies and the opium poppies that Wang Ming had hidden.

However, the evidence from the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion could be destroyed, but the records from the pharmacy were still there. This became the most powerful evidence for Fang Jinyu to accuse Wang Ming of murder.

"Fang Jinyu, don't talk nonsense. Where can I find the medicine?"

The loyal and brave Marquis is extremely vicious. He admits defeat in front of Long Moxun, but will he take Fang Jinyu seriously?

Fang Jinyu ignored the provocation of Marquis Zhongyong. In his mind, he recalled Luo Xuening's words.

"Master Fang, I heard that some drugs can accelerate heart failure. The reason why the deceased covered his chest before falling from the building was not accidental, but poisoned. The murderer must have a very close relationship with the deceased. Moreover, he gave the drug in a very tight time. In order to conceal his tracks, he must not have burned the drug immediately. We only need to conduct a search and we will definitely find this evidence."

Facts have proved that what Luo Xuening said was right. The murderer did not have time to deal with the medicine. He just left him in the room. At that time, the reason why he allowed Marquis Zhongyong to pretend to be sick was to take this opportunity to secretly monitor Marquis Zhongyong and find out the evidence hidden by the murderer.

"Since Lord Fang is willing, then lead my subordinates to obtain evidence."

With these two people singing the same tune, there was no room for the Loyal and Brave Marquis to speak. Moreover, Long Moxun assigned his own subordinates, which left the Loyal and Brave Marquis speechless. How could he not trust the prince?

Soon, the buried poppies were found. Why didn't the Loyal and Yong Marquis burn the poppies together with the record of their purchase? It was just because the Loyal and Yong Marquis was cautious. Once the medicine was burned, it would produce a strange smell, which would be easily discovered. Burying it was the best option, but unfortunately they were monitored.

Marquis Zhongyong's hands were shaking a little. He stared at the poppy that was dug out and still covered with soil. He took a deep breath and made a decision.

Long Moxun threw a bag of poppies in front of the loyal and brave marquis: "Lord Zhongyong, look at what you have done."

Marquis Zhongyong squatted down, put some poppy powder from the small packet that had already been used up on his fingers, lowered his head, and was filled with grief.

Then, he finally raised his eyes. He shook his head and looked at Wang Ming, his eyes filled with a mixture of self-blame and anger.

"Why do you want to hurt your brother like this?"

This question seemed to have exhausted Marquis Zhongyong's energy. He was lamenting his own misfortune and sin.

"Dad, I, I didn't mean it."

Wang Ming felt guilty, his face was still pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he stared at Marquis Zhongyong with helpless eyes. He stretched out his hand, wanting to pull at Marquis Zhongyong's clothes, but he was pushed open by him.

"It was not intentional. Everyone in the mansion knows that your brother cannot use this medicine. You say you did not do it on purpose? How could a loser like you appear in our mansion?"

Wang Ming was a little confused at first. Why did he just speak out to protect his father and why did he change his expression in an instant? It was not until the loyal and brave Marquis said this that Wang Chun understood everything.

Father is going to give up on himself. He won't protect him anymore. He is going to give up his own son for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion.

"Dad, you can't do this. You have to save me."

Wang Ming grabbed the hem of Marquis Zhongyong's robe tightly. He only had his father, and he could not be abandoned.

"Dad, do you really not want a son anymore?"

"Let go. I, the Loyal and Brave Marquis, don't have a son as cruel and ruthless as you."

The face of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was grim. His original plan was to sacrifice one son and save another, but now, the prince had already traced the matter to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion. He couldn't possibly ruin the future of everyone in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion for the sake of a bastard's son.

It is true that he loves his youngest son, but he has no choice. There are more than just the two of them in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion.

"You, you evil child, I will beat you to death, I will beat you to death."

Marquis Zhongyong raised his foot and kicked Wang Ming. Marquis Zhongyong was a martial artist, so he kicked Wang Ming without mercy. Wang Ming fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

But how could the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery let him go? This rebellious son had killed someone. If he, as a father, really beat him to death, he might even gain a good reputation for being kind and benevolent. For the sake of his future and the Marquis's mansion, he could sacrifice one son, if not two.

He didn't care, he wanted to beat this rebellious son to death.

"That's enough, Marquis Zhongyong, do you want to kill someone?"

Only after being stopped by Long Moxun did Marquis Zhongyong stop. He just needed to pretend to do it, as he couldn't bring himself to kill this rebellious son with his own hands.

After all, as long as the emperor gives in, this rebellious son will not be executed. He can be imprisoned for a dozen years. After he is released, he can make military achievements and his past will be wiped out. Who will still remember his dark history?

Long Moxun just looked at him coldly. He saw through Marquis Zhongyong's thoughts, but did not say anything.

"Tell me, why did you kill someone?"

Fang Jinyu stepped forward at this time, and he brought a censor with him to record the prisoner's words at any time.

After Wang Ming's initial shock, he received a look from Marquis Zhongyong, and then he tried hard to squeeze out two tears.

"My brother bullied me. He always beat me. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I killed him."

The words sounded very realistic, but the people present were just listening. Wang Chun was just a little taller, but actually he was just a weak patient, and his milk was better than that of Wang Ming, who was practicing martial arts.

However, Wang Chun, who had been bedridden for a long time, had a strange temperament. The reason why Wang Ming was able to kill people might also be due to Wang Chun himself.

Fang Jinyu would not examine these things in detail. He was examining the case, not morality, let alone human nature.

Since the father and son from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery were determined to resolve the matter, he would not stand in their way. The decision was the business of the Dali Temple.

"Wang Ming premeditated the murder of Wang Chun. The murderer has confessed and is being taken away."

Fang Jinyu spoke coldly, no longer looking at Marquis Zhongyong, and sent someone to escort the prisoner to the Dali Temple.

"Master Fang, this dog...?"

The loyal and brave Marquis was powerless at this point, and could only ask about the situation with a shameless face. Even though the play just now was cruel, he couldn't really ignore his son. "It depends on whether the Marquis wants him to live or die."

"Of course I want to give birth."

Marquis Zhongyong stopped pretending at this time. He believed that as long as he said that Wang Ming should die, Fang Jinyu would really dare to let Wang Ming die.

"Then, come back in 20 years."

Twenty years is just an uncertain span. It could be twenty years, or it could be longer. The key lies in the judgment of the Dali Temple and, of course, the emperor’s attitude.

After all, the deceased and the murderer were both from the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. This incident could not fail to alarm the emperor.

However, the difference between alarming the emperor before the murderer was arrested and alarming the emperor after the murderer was arrested may be related to Wang Ming's judgment.

According to the laws of Nanshao, the crime of murder is punishable by life. However, it will still depend on the actual situation. Wang Ming is young, so he will not be sentenced to death directly. However, how long he will be detained will have to be analyzed based on all aspects of the situation.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Zhongyong just nodded silently, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

His two sons killed each other, and he and his father were really failures. But the funniest thing was that when his sons were killed, he was worried not about the dead but the murderer.

Looking at Wang Ming's back, Marquis Zhongyong slowly closed his eyes. Until now, he still didn't know what made Wang Ming kill his own brother. He thought that he would never have the chance to know.

Twenty years later, I'm afraid his body has already been buried in the ground. He doesn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, and he can only repent for the rest of his life.
