After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"You are quite good at making excuses."

Lord Cen is majestic without even getting angry.

"You brothers are quite careful in your work. You know that buying and selling arsenic requires registration at the pharmacy."

"Do you think that if I didn't go to the pharmacy to buy the arsenic myself and then burn it, I wouldn't have any evidence?"

"I've had people check the records of all the pharmacies in the capital selling arsenic over the past month, visiting every store. Unfortunately, Lin Shuanzi, who lives on your street, bought arsenic to kill insects."

"But the arsenic was lost after only half of it was used."

"I sent someone to investigate and found out the Lin family had been robbed. I was surprised to find no property or food was lost, only arsenic. What kind of thief would steal arsenic?"

"And Lin Shuanzi was certain it was stolen because he found two footprints on the wall of his own yard. Fortunately, only arsenic was stolen, so the family cursed a little and didn't make a fuss."

"I've sent someone to check, and the size and pattern of the footprints match those of your shoes, Zhang Si."

A yamen runner took off Zhang Si's shoes on the spot and compared them with a piece of paper they had copied, and they were exactly the same.

Ru Niang also said: "I make all the boss's shoes, and the patterns are indeed the same."

"Zhang Si and Zhang Wu, do you have anything else to say?"

Lord Cen shouted!

The bailiff pulled the strip of cloth out of Zhang Si's mouth, and the latter immediately started cursing.

"You bitch, I'm your man, what good will it do you to frame me?"

"Sir, I stole arsenic. I wanted to kill insects. Maybe it was Runiang who secretly put it in the bowl and killed my father."

"That vicious woman, Runiang, has always resented my father for not giving her enough betrothal gifts..."

Zhang Si spared no effort to get rid of suspicion.

"That's enough. You said Runiang killed someone, but the 500 tael deposit note from Dabao Bank was written in your brother's name."

"The Zhang family only has ten acres of land. Besides farming, they do odd jobs. Even if Zhang Er's monthly salary is sent back to the capital, it wouldn't be five hundred taels, right?"

Lord Cen interrupted.

In fact, he sent people to search the Zhang family, but he didn't find much evidence.

These two brothers are much more cautious than Laicai.

He made the unexpected discovery by following Lai Cai's clues and checking Dabao Money House.

"Not only did you plan to murder your own father with arsenic, you also fed the horses the intoxicating grass that drove them crazy!"

Ceng Gong changed the subject.

"Hiss! What?"

"Poisoning isn't enough, but you want your own father to be hit and killed? How afraid is he that his father won't die?"

The onlookers were talking about it.

Fang Tong looked at the four Zhang brothers thoughtfully.

"You think that everything is fine now that the driver is dead, but you don't know that even the passing of a goose leaves traces."

Lord Cen sighed.

A son killed his father, a tragic human tragedy. The fact that such a thing happened under his rule proves that he was not well educated.

"Sir, we don't understand what you are saying."

The Zhang brothers gritted their teeth.

"Don't cry until you see the coffin, Heizi, you say it."

"Yes."

The witness who had been kneeling spoke.

"I'm the waiter at Wanbaolou, Heizi. During the dim sum competition, I remember Zhang Wu, who often came to watch the fun."

"There were so many people around that I didn't notice him at first. Later, I became familiar with the Wu family's rickshaw driver and saw him three more times. It seemed that Zhang Wu had a good relationship with the rickshaw driver. They were like brothers and even had drinks together."

"On the day of the finals, did I see Zhang Wu helping the coachman feed the horses? There were many guests at the time, so I just took a quick look and then went back to work."

The court fell silent for a moment.

The matter is clear. The four Zhang brothers divided the work and cooperated with each other. One poisoned his father, and the other arranged for the horse to go crazy, hoping that it would hit his father to death.

Then he wanted to blackmail the Fang Tong couple.

But unexpectedly a man in black appeared and killed the horse, and the carriage didn't hit anyone at all.

In order to avoid being exposed, Wu Dongjia was threatened to take the blame.

If Lord Cen did not have many years of experience in judging cases and had not been suspicious of the four Zhang brothers from the beginning, he would not have been able to make a decision so quickly.

"Zhang Si, Zhang Wu, do you have anything else to say?"

Ceng Gong looked solemn.

"I'm very curious, what drives you to kill Mr. Zhang by any means necessary?"

Faced with the evidence, even if the Zhang brothers were eloquent, they could not overturn the verdict.

Zhang Wu looked ashen, as if all his strength had been drained away, and he collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Si was silent for a while, no longer willing to hide his resentment.

"Because that old man is biased."

"They always said that the boss served in the army and sacrificed his life to win General An's favor, so that they would remember the boss's kindness."

"But we are not allowed to have too much contact with General An's Mansion. We two brothers can't take advantage of them, so why should we remember the favor?"

"General An is also hypocritical. He said he accepted me as his adoptive father and wanted to repay my kindness. But he didn't even give us two brothers an official position, or at least a few thousand taels of silver or a mansion."

"And the second brother. The old man always said that the eldest brother was clever and the second brother was loyal. He suffered a lot in the battlefield and has never married. Now that the eldest brother is gone, the second brother is the eldest among the brothers. I will give him half of the family property in the future."

"Why? We serve him every day. Now that the boss is dead, shouldn't the family property be divided equally among us?"

"The eldest and second sons served in the military of their own free will. They were unlucky! We can't make up for it, can we?"

Since things have come to this, Zhang Si simply vented the resentment that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

Zhang Er could no longer tolerate this. With red eyes, he grabbed his collar and said, "You beast, are you going to kill your father for this?"

"During the two recruitments, the four of us brothers all met the age requirements. The first time, it was my eldest brother who volunteered, and the second time, it was me. It was all so that you could stay safe at home!"

His voice was filled with anger. He never expected that when he felt sorry for his brothers, not only did they not appreciate it, but they resented him instead?

When it comes to conscription, not everyone in a family with many brothers is like the Zhang family, where the older ones are responsible and stand up.

Many people fight and quarrel because of this.

"Yes, second brother, you also said that you did it voluntarily. You are stupid, who do you blame?" Zhang Si grinned.
