Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Yu Shuyan, however, suddenly chuckled softly:

"Wen Lang, you are truly laughable. A government official? Have you been granted an official position? Let me tell you, after today, not only will you not be granted an official position, but you will also be spending a considerable amount of time in prison."

Wen Lang's eyes darkened slightly, and that bad premonition intensified.

His face was twisted and sinister, completely different from his usual gentle and dignified demeanor.

"Yu Shuyan, you think you can kill me? You're dreaming."

As he spoke, he glared coldly at Fang Weizhi:

"Fang Weizhi, last time you were caught, you tried to drag me into it to find a scapegoat. What, are you trying to do the same thing again this time?"

"I'd like to see what evidence you can produce this time, since you couldn't come up with any last time!"

Fang Weizhi looked at him, at his confident, ugly face, and laughed mockingly.

"Wen Lang, look at your twisted and crazed face. It's obvious whether you harmed Yu Moyan or not."

"The reason you're still so stubbornly denying it is because you're certain I can't produce any evidence!"

At this point, Wen Lang was too lazy to pretend anymore and stared at him coldly:

"Stop talking nonsense. If you have evidence, produce it now. If not, shut up and get out of here!"

Fang Weizhi suddenly sneered:

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but as for evidence, I do have some!"

Wen Lang clearly did not believe it:

"Then take it out!"

Fang Weizhi signaled to the constables to release him.

After receiving a nod from Cui Rongxing, the constable released him.

Fang Weizhi straightened his wrinkled clothes, and then, under everyone's gaze, calmly took out a luminous pearl from his pocket, held it in his hand, and waved it at Wen Lang:

"Do you remember what this is?"

Wen Lang's face instantly darkened:

"How could that be? You're not~"

Fang Weizhi sneered:

"I didn't pawn it and exchange it for banknotes right in front of you, did I?"

Wen Lang was startled, realizing his loss of composure, and immediately snorted coldly:

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Fang Weizhi stared at him mockingly:

"You really don't know what I'm talking about! Don't forget, this luminous pearl was the one you bribed back then."

It was given to me as payment when I dealt with Yu Moyan.

"It's a pity that it didn't go as you wished. The next day I won a sum of money at the casino, so I went to redeem it and wanted to give it to my lover."

"What a pity, my sweetheart dumped me before I could even see her off. It's true that God has eyes, leaving me this evidence."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Lang, whose face was grim, and held up the luminous pearl to Yu Shuyan:

"Madam Wen, does this luminous pearl look familiar to you?"

Yu Shuyan stepped forward, took the luminous pearl, examined it carefully, and then said loudly:

"Yes, this is exactly what my mother prepared for my dowry when I got married. I accidentally dropped it on the ground."

"Here, a small mark has appeared. Every member of the Yu family can testify to it. This is indeed my luminous pearl."

As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Wen Lang:

"Wen Lang, you really did something! You took our Yu family's luminous pearl to bribe my elder brother who murdered me."

How could you do something like that!

Her accusation instantly caused the onlookers to point and whisper about Wen Lang again, their eyes filled with disgust and disdain.

Wen Lang narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Foolish! You believe everything he says!"

As he spoke, he stared at Fang Weizhi and sneered:

"I knew it! So that's why this luminous pearl disappeared from my dormitory in the academy – it was you who..."

"He stole it. Now that you've brought it out yourself, I beg Lord Cui to do me justice and punish him for theft."

Seeing him spout nonsense without batting an eye, Fang Weizhi turned pale with anger, and after pointing at Wen Lang for a long time, he finally managed to utter a few words:

"Wen Lang, you are truly despicable and shameless!"

Wen Lang replied disdainfully:

"What, you dare to do it but not admit it? Back in the academy, everyone had a bad impression of you, saying you were a petty thief and had dirty hands. Only I genuinely considered you a friend. But I never expected you to be this kind of person. It's like the farmer and the snake; I've been bitten back by you."

At this moment, Wen Lang could no longer care about anything else.

As for whether he can maintain the image he has cultivated over the years, he is not considering that for the time being.

After all, these things can probably be fixed given some time.

But he absolutely cannot go to jail.

If he were to go to jail for murdering someone, then he would truly be doomed.

The laws of the Da Yong dynasty stipulated that anyone who had been imprisoned could not be granted an official position. Not only official positions, but even the achievements of a student in the imperial examinations (童生, 秀才, 进士) would be completely revoked.

In other words, he will never have any further connection with officialdom in his lifetime.

This is more painful than killing him.

He's destined for high office; how can he be ruined by these two good-for-nothings and lowly women?

Therefore, no matter what, even if he argues unreasonably and everyone says he's shameless, he cannot let the charges be substantiated.

Seeing Fang Weizhi's anger and embarrassment, Wen Lang was secretly relieved.

It seems he has no way to prove the source of this evidence.

Cui Rongxing frowned and looked at Fang Weizhi:

“Fang Weizhi, I must remind you, if you cannot prove that you did not steal this luminous pearl, then your accusation against Wen Lang is meaningless. Do you understand?”

Fang Weizhi snapped out of his daze and nodded:

“My lord, I know. This luminous pearl was indeed the payment he gave me.”

Wen Lang sneered:

"Where's the evidence? Do you have any evidence? You clearly stole this bead. You're so stubborn and ruthless, you'll stop at nothing to get away with anything."

Fang Weizhi heard the disdain and smugness in his voice. His angry face suddenly calmed down, and he even stared at Wen Lang and slowly smiled.

Wen Lang frowned:

"What are you laughing at?"

Fang Weizhi chuckled:

"How can you be so sure? I have no evidence."

A flicker of panic crossed Wen Lang's eyes, but he didn't believe he truly had any evidence. He sneered:

"Fang Weizhi, stop your desperate struggle. If you admit now that this bead is yours and you're trying to frame me, I might, out of consideration for our past as classmates, not pursue your theft charge. Otherwise, murdering Yu Moyan is already a serious crime, and adding theft on top of that, you'll truly be spending the rest of your life in prison!"

Fang Weizhi clearly understood the threat, but instead of being intimidated, he burst into laughter.

"Wen Lang, you really are shameless. But don't be so smug, you wanted evidence, right? I'll give it to you right now!"
