The guests present admitted that they were not idiots. Seeing that he still wanted to frame Ling Zhang, all of them started to scold him in anger and contempt.
Jia Yuanling staggered a few steps back. He looked at Ling Zhang, and his entire body shivered when his eyes met with Ling Zhang's cold and mocking gaze. Under the stimulation, his drowsy head actually became a bit clearer, as if he understood something.
Jia Yuanling was forced to retreat a few more steps by Ling Zhang's string of questions. He had a guilty conscience, and now, he understood that Ling Zhang had already discovered their scheme a long time ago. Even though he clearly knew that Ling Zhang's answer was irrelevant, he didn't dare to confront Ling Zhang in front of everyone's faces.
"If you want people to not know what to do, Jia Yuanling, what you did today, you should know it well enough, so you can't blame me for being ruthless."
The expression in Jia Yuanling's eyes when he looked at Ling Zhang was one of disbelief and panic. "You, you …"
Ling Zhang's miserable look was truly satisfying, the fists behind his back were clenched tightly, the excitement in his heart was clenched into fists. The anger and frustration he accumulated after crawling back from the evil spirits had finally found a tiny crack, but it was not enough, what he wanted was far more than what could be satisfied with just this.
"Lord Tao, how should the son and father's concubine be convicted of adultery according to the Law."
With that sentence, all the voices in the back garden were suppressed, and the whole garden became deathly silent. Everyone stared at Ling Zhang.
They had all seen Ling Zhang's actions and tone earlier, and now, they were looking at him with a hidden meaning in their eyes.
The young master of the Ling Family was different. The gentle and courteous person that was almost weak before had suddenly become fierce and ruthless, causing people to wonder if he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger before, and was now the real Ling Zhang.
The Tan Yang thought so as well, all the people who were in the midst of floating government were all sly foxes, the best way to settle this situation with Jia family was to let them lock themselves up and settle it, no matter which side they were on, they would only be in trouble, thus he had tried her best to lower the feeling of her own existence, but she was still carried away by Ling Zhang with a single sentence.
If it was in the past, Tao Feng would probably think that Ling Zhang was a big fool, but now, Tao Feng couldn't help but guess if there was some other motive behind this action of Ling Zhang's.
"If the people of the Jia family were to report the officials, then according to my order, Jia Yuanling and the dancers will both be convicted of adultery, and Jia Yuanling will be sentenced to exile for ten years, and the dancers will be sentenced to death. If the people of Jia family want to settle the score privately, then according to the Law, the crime of adultery is permitted to be punished privately. What Jia family wants to do with Jia Yuanling and dancers is Jia family's business. "
Tao Feng's answer was very cautious and seemed very objective as well.
But as long as Jia Yin was not completely confused about this, Jia family would definitely choose to lynch him.
"If we add in the crime of framing someone, although Ling Zhang is not talented, he still has the title of Elementary Scholar. Everyone should have heard that Jia Yuanling slandered me just now, if I were to continue reporting, what kind of punishment would Jia Yuanling receive?" Ling Zhang asked again.
Tao Feng trembled, he finally understood what Ling Zhang was trying to do, he was planning to completely lose all decorum with Jia family.
His eyes met Ling Zhang's, and he said slowly: "The crime of framing a person with fame on his person is increased by one grade, according to the Law, recuperating while recuperating for twenty years, exiled for three thousand kilometers."
Bang! Jia Yuanling fell down powerlessly onto the ground, the servants of Jia family were also frightened, but Jia Yin was still unconscious. There was no one from Jia family who could stand up.
