Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

Yang Jiahe forced himself to calm down, silently telling himself that it was okay. It had been so long since the incident, and they had no evidence to prove he was involved in their deaths. His family had already taken care of it.

Yes, the people who came to the court were the families of Yang Jiahe’s two wives.

Both families were exhausted and looked a little haggard. They were heartbroken over the death of their daughter, but the local magistrate and the Yang family colluded with each other to cover up the truth, so they could only return empty-handed.

But now someone told them that they could get justice for their daughter by coming here, so they came without hesitation!

"Your humble servants pay their respects to the great Lord!" Both families knelt down and kowtowed.

Prefect Han Xu struck the gavel and said majestically, "What grievances have you brought? Tell us in detail!"

The two families recounted in an orderly and tearful manner how their daughter married Yang Jiahe a few years ago, but only two years later, news came that he had died of a sudden illness.

However, their daughter had always been in good health and had no hidden illness. They were suspicious and wanted to perform an autopsy, but the Yang family refused. The maids who served their daughter were also nowhere to be found.

They unexpectedly learned that their daughter had been beaten by Yang Jiahe for many years and was even beaten to death by him! Not only that, they also found their daughter's personal maid and made a confession.

Therefore, I specifically ask the great judge to take charge and punish the murderer!

The magistrate was sitting there feeling very uneasy. He knew about both incidents and had accepted money to resolve them. He had also sent people to use threats and bribes to warn them. They had been behaving themselves, so why were they stirring up trouble again?

Han Xu flipped through the testimony, written in blood, the words earnest and poignant. But one couldn't just take one side of the story for granted. "Yang Jiahe, I'm asking you, is what they say true?"

Yang Jiahe's expression eased slightly. As long as he refused to admit it, what good would a maid's testimony do him? He could easily say that they were slandering him and that they were just trying to get more compensation!

He opened his mouth and said, "It is true! Those two women are mediocre in appearance, boring in character, unvirtuous and jealous, and their fertility is disappointing. They married into the family and lived in luxury for two years, but they couldn't even give birth to a child. What's the point of having them?"

Yang Jiahe covered his mouth in fear, but the words still came out clearly. He knelt down in panic, sweat pouring down his forehead.

Among the onlookers outside the yamen, An Yan smiled. There was no need to thank her, she just fed Yang Jiahe a truth pill.

The entire courtroom was silent for a moment, and the two families were so angry that their eyes turned red, and they rushed up to beat him.

Han Xu shouted, "Come here, separate them! I understand your feelings, but we cannot act rashly in court!"

Although they appeared calm on the surface, they stared at Yang Jiahe with hatred, wishing they could tear him into pieces to avenge their daughter.

Han Xu was also surprised by Yang Jiahe's confession. "Yang Jiahe, are you admitting your guilt?"

Yang Jiahe wanted to deny it, but his mouth once again spoke his true feelings, "What does it matter if I admit it or not? My family is rich. It's just two people being beaten to death. It's nothing that can't be settled."

"If the magistrate accepts the money, won't that just open the door to convenience? Since you are a high-ranking official, shouldn't you take more money?"

After these words were spoken, the magistrate's pounding heart finally died down. He knelt down smoothly and claimed that this was slander.

Han Xu hated corruption and abuse of power the most. "How dare you! How dare you bribe an official in public? Come, drag him away and give him twenty lashes!"

Before Yang Jiahe could speak, the constables immediately covered his mouth and dragged him away to be beaten with a stick, which made Yang's parents outside the yamen very anxious.

The bribe money hadn't even been brought in, and yet his son was still spouting arrogant words. Could he say such things in public? What was wrong with him?

The detectives did not hold back. Yang Jiahe's butt was beaten to pieces. After being dragged back, he could only lie on the ground. The severe pain made his veins bulge and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

The two families felt relieved when they saw him, but they still felt it was not enough. He should pay with his life to atone for his crime!

Han Xu continued to inquire, "Yang Jiahe, I'm asking you, were Sheng Qinghe and Jiang Xiaoyan beaten to death by you? How were they beaten to death?"

Yang Jiahe didn't want to admit it, but still said honestly: "Yes, but it's all their own fault. They are jealous. They didn't lay eggs themselves and didn't let me go to the brothel. They are weak and can't withstand a beating. I just kicked them a few times, how could they die?"

This statement again aroused public outrage. Since he had already confessed, Han Xu did not want to let this beast off easily, so he asked him to sign his confession.

The man dressed as a scholar had a cold expression on his face. "Two beautiful ladies were beaten to death. It's hard to say if he has killed anyone else. I hope you can investigate."

That's true. Han Xu pressed on, "Yang Jiahe, besides these two, have you ever killed anyone else?"

Many people's faces flashed through Yang Jiahe's mind, and he finally remembered where he had seen this scholar.

He once raped a beautiful woman, but she was too stubborn and committed suicide. At her funeral, the scholar wept bitterly, and he mocked her.

Yang Jiahe couldn't control his mouth and blurted out all the sins he had committed in the past. When he counted them carefully, the number of people he had directly or indirectly killed was as high as double digits!

Han Xu's final verdict: "Yang Jiahe has committed multiple murders, raped women, and maliciously injured others. His crimes are grave and he is sentenced to death. He will be imprisoned immediately and executed in the autumn."

Everyone present applauded and both families cried with joy. Their souls in heaven can now rest in peace!

Yang Jiahe collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning, crying in disbelief and despair.

The parents of the Yang family, whose life was cut off, could no longer control themselves and rushed in regardless of any obstruction, trying to plead for mercy.

But wasn't this just in time? Han Xu reopened the court, this time trying the Yang family's parents and the county magistrate.

In the end, Yang's parents were sentenced to confiscation of property and exile for crimes such as harboring a criminal and bribery. The county magistrate was temporarily suspended from his post pending further action because he was an official appointed by the imperial court.

The Yang family's house was raided with great fanfare, and An Yan was watching from the inn. Although she had taken all the gold, silver, and treasures, the land deeds, the indentures, and other large items of property were still there, and she had found quite a few things.

Daya was sold into the Yang family. Although she did not sign a contract to sell herself, she was a concubine who was involved in business and was eventually sold as the property of the Yang family along with the maids and servants and became a slave.

Wang Yucheng also watched the house raid, coldly watching Daya being taken away, his brow furrowed. Time was running out for him. The Yang family was in trouble at this moment. Wouldn't that mean he couldn't profit from it? He was short of money and had to find a way to make money!

An Yan naturally saw Wang Yucheng as well, but didn't pay much attention to him because he couldn't cause any trouble.

After dealing with the Yang family, the next step is to go to the border!
