Because the two of them cleared themselves of all charges and there were no more witnesses to prove that they were lying, the blame for Luo Sheng's death ultimately fell on Chen Fang and her wet nurse, Madam Zhao.
However, Minister Zhou did not rush to sentence the person because there was still the case of the tragic death of the Luo family.
Unfortunately, this case still failed to find any evidence against Xie Yun.
Chen Fangjian claimed that she had someone do this and that no one else in the Xie family knew about it. Xie Yun also flatly denied it.
Therefore, the case of the Luo family being murdered for money also fell on Chen Fang's head.
After the trial of this case, it was revealed that Xie Xiu was ambushed on his way back to Beijing. This time, Chen Fang did not deny it and directly pleaded guilty.
However, Minister Zhou still summoned Xu Maochun to the court and asked him to identify the person personally.
Xu Maochun did not try to argue this time and confessed directly, "Yes, I was indeed ordered by my aunt to go to Biyang County to get rid of Xie Xiu.
To prevent people from talking about him after his death and suspecting my aunt, I specially asked someone to bribe Zhang's servants in the name of Xie Xiu to poison Luo so that I could put the blame on Xie Xiu.
I also strangled Luo's daughter Sun Qingqing with my own hands, creating the illusion that she was abused and killed, and put the blame on Xie Xiu.
My original plan was to wait until Xie Xiu died, and then arrange for someone to find Sun Qingqing's body in the mountains near Xie's house.
This way, everyone would think that Xie Xiu imprisoned, humiliated, and brutally killed Sun Qingqing in revenge. Then his being ambushed and killed by bandits would be seen as retribution.
By then, no one will suspect my aunt of deliberately killing her stepson Xie Xiu."
After a pause, he continued, "I've said everything I need to say. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you."
Minister Zhou asked, "Why did you kill for Chen? You colluded with bandits, attempted to kill dozens of people, and then murdered two women to frame them... What did Chen do to you that you dared to commit such a heinous crime for her?"
Xu Maochun said expressionlessly: "She told me that she was actually my aunt, and my biological father was called Chen An. However, Chen An despised my biological mother because she was a servant, and he didn't want to lose face, so he refused to recognize me.
As long as I do something for her, she will convince Cheng En Gong to recognize me as his grandson and record me in the family tree. So, I am willing to do anything for her.
When Chen Fang heard this, her eyes flashed, but she did not refute.
Minister Zhou asked her, "Sinful woman Chen, do you acknowledge what Xu Maochun said?"
Chen Fang also had a blank expression on her face. "Yes, I did tell him that. In fact, I lied to him. His biological father was just a groom, not Chen An at all. I just lied to him to use him, so that he would work for me obediently."
As soon as she said this, Xu Maochun reacted immediately.
He turned his head and glared at Chen Fang angrily: "You lied to me? You actually lied to me? You bitch, how dare you lie to me!"
He cursed loudly, suddenly broke free from the yamen runners' grip, pounced on Chen Fang, and strangled her neck hard.
Chen Fang was soon pinched by him and rolled her eyes, looking in great pain.
Xu Maochun's face was full of ferocity, as if he was ruthless and determined to strangle her to death!
Fortunately, the yamen runner reacted quickly, raised the water and fire stick in his hand, and hit Xu Maochun hard.
First, they hit him on the back with a few sticks, and then stabbed his chest and lower abdomen with sticks, quickly separating him from Chen Fang and pinning him to the ground.
Fearing that he would attack again and hurt others, the bailiffs found a rope, tied his arms behind his back, and tied them tightly.
Then he used the water and fire stick to fork his neck.
"Cough cough cough..."
Chen Fang coughed painfully several times before she caught her breath.
She knelt on the ground, her eyes red as she looked at Xu Maochun coldly, saying with disdain, "You're the only one who's stupid enough to believe such nonsense. How can you blame me?"
The two of them were fighting each other, and Xie Ying couldn't help but sneer inwardly: [They all think the lobby of the Ministry of Justice is a stage, and they're all acting here.]
