Chapter 452

It gradually became quiet outside the mansion, and it seemed that even the people watching the excitement had left, making the surrounding area return to its tranquility.

The sky gradually darkened, and the night fell again.

The following morning, the news that Zhao Amamn was taken to Jingzhao by the yamens also reached the Marquis Mansion. This message was sent by Gu Zezhi.

Qin Zening once again applauded Gu Zezhi as he inwardly slapped the table and shouted his praise: no wonder Gu Zezhi said at that time he could claim some interest first, it turns out this is the interest!

He smiled and asked Qin Jiu, “Xiao Jiu, do you want to go to Jingzhao to watch the fun?”

Logically speaking, this murder case should have been sent back to the place of origin for trial; however, when Li Jinzhu was captured before, the emperor had issued an oral decree stating that this case should be tried in the capital; thus, after Zhao Aman was arrested and brought to justice, the case would still have been tried in Jingzhao.

As the saying goes, killing pays off one’s life; this truth has never changed through age.

When their lives were at stake, Li Jinzhu and Zhao Amman’s former marital relationships had long been forgotten. They only wanted to survive, and both sides blamed each other for murder. They also brought back the ugly things of the past.

Li Jinzhu said that it was Zhao Aman who killed the old woman, and everything was Zhao Aman’s idea, including switching their daughter with the Marquis’ daughter, even after the old woman’s death, the couple absconded, which was also Zhao Aman’s proposal.

Zhao Aman cursed Li Jinzhu for being useless and unable to support their family. If it were not for her, their entire family would have starved to death long ago. She said that Li Jinzhu was just like their daughter, a white-eyed wolf, and even though he was the one who committed the murder, he still pushed the blame on her.

To escape the punishment, the husband and wife started fighting and blaming the charges against each other. This scene made the people around them sigh as they commented to themselves how the couple, “dog bites dog,” “husband and wife were birds in the same forest that fly separately when disaster strikes,” and so on.

“Bang!”

The couple’s verbal abuse was interrupted by the gavel’s heavy slam.
