Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!
Chapter 149 Getting Drunk
These words shocked everyone in the room.
Jin Xia's face flushed red. She looked at Zhong Tian and said angrily, "Zhong Tian, this is just a business dispute. Don't make false accusations!"
Zhongtian looked at Jinxia: "Now that you've been rich for so long, have you forgotten how you became a beggar?"
Jin Xia took several steps back, only stopping when her waist touched the cold hilts of the constables' knives.
"How...how did you know?" Jin Xia asked.
Zhongtian thought sadly that this thing was also given to her by Xia Muning.
When Zhongtian was summoned to the Dali Temple, Shishu rushed over and handed a pile of evidence to Zhongtian all at once.
Shi Shu felt sorry for her young master, and having served Zhong Tian for a long time, their bond was extraordinary. So she looked at Zhong Tian and spoke boldly.
"Master, this is evidence about Jinxia that the Lord collected a long time ago. Master, how does the Lord treat you? Don't let the hearts of those who love you grow cold!"
Looking at the slightly yellowed page, Nakata asked with some difficulty, "How early?"
"When you decided to start Shunning Express with Jin Xia and the others."
Looking at the evidence in her hand, Zhong Tian felt as if it weighed an ounce. Long, long ago, before she had even accepted Xia Muning's feelings, Xia Muning had been planning and scheming for her.
Jin Xia's previous crimes were too serious and too well hidden. Xia Muning had to painstakingly piece together the truth by using his power and money.
Lord Li patted the gavel and said to Zhong Tian, "Lord Zhong, please explain in detail!"
"Jin Xia was originally the daughter of a moderately wealthy family. Although her family was not extremely rich, she was well-educated and polite. At the age of 18, Jin Xia hoped to pass the imperial examination and achieve success. All of this came to an end when she first met Zhang Xiang'er, a 25-year-old woman who had come to find her aunt."
"He was a man as beautiful as moonlight. When they first met, Jinxia fell in love at first sight when he smiled at her, and by the third time, she knew she would marry no one but him!"
"However, Jinxia's mother was not willing. Zhang Xiang'er's mother had died early, and she had a younger sister who was not yet an adult. In addition, she was older, and they were not a good match in any way!"
"Jinxia's mother then accepted the bride price from Li the Cripple in town and married Zhang Xiang'er off early!"
"When Jin Xia saw Zhang Xiang'er again later, she could hardly believe it. She was disillusioned, as if she had seen the bright moon in her heart gradually crumble."
"Not only is Crippled Li an ugly and extremely old woman, but most importantly, she is a domestic abuser! Even though Zhang Xiang'er was pregnant, she couldn't avoid being punched and kicked. Her previous child was already miscarried due to the beatings!"
"Jin Xia, young and impetuous, decided to kill Zhang Xiang'er to silence her after being swayed by her tears!"
"She sneaked into the Li residence at night and found the lame Li, who was assaulting Zhang Xiang'er. She slashed Zhang Xiang'er on the head with a knife!"
"Li the Cripple made a living by blacksmithing and had immense strength. It took Zhang Xiang'er and Jin Xia working together to kill him, but the commotion was huge. Everyone in the Li residence was alerted and the lights were turned on!"
Jin Xia and Zhang Xiang'er exchanged a glance, and decided to go all the way, locking up everyone in the Li residence and setting it on fire!
"That fire killed more than half of the people in the Li family's house! 21 people died!"
"To save Jinxia from this ordeal, Jinxia's parents kicked her out of the house, leaving her destitute and a beggar! That's where I found out!"
"After achieving fame and success, Jin Xia began to slaughter the Li family members indiscriminately!"
"This is the evidence!"
Zhongtian presented all the evidence to the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. The charges against him were too numerous to list!
Jin Xia immediately turned pale, her body went limp, and she knelt on the ground, closing her eyes.
Lord Li pronounced the verdict in court! Jin Xia and Zhang Xiang'er are sentenced to death by slow slicing!
However, when the constables went to the Jin residence to arrest people, they only brought back a child.
Zhang Xiang'er absconded with all the property, leaving behind only her crying, red-faced child.
Looking at the farce before her, Zhongtian felt a wave of weariness wash over her. She still needed to rein in the mess left by Jinxia. With Jinxia's death, her entire business was in chaos!
Zhang Duruo approached with a shameless grin and said to Zhong Tian, "Manager Zhong, I know a lot about express delivery. I can take over the shop and people left by my sister-in-law!"
Zhongtian looked at Zhang Duruo with some pity and said, "Madam Zhang, you should find a good doctor to check your health!"
After all, time is running out!
As Zhong Tian walked out of the Ministry of Justice, a light snow began to fall outside. With his sharp eyes, Zhong Tian spotted Shan Fuping, who was observing from the side, wearing only thin clothes and shivering.
Dan Fuping seemed a little afraid of Zhong Tian. Zhong Tian gave her a wink, and Xi Chun immediately stepped forward and grabbed Dan Fuping!
Dan Fuping is weak, but he is like a poisonous poppy, making others live in a drunken stupor. He depends on women for survival, and when one woman dies, he depends on another!
Ye Qing is dead, and Zhang Duruo is about to die too!
Dan Fuping, however, is still alive and well. Although her body doesn't look very good, her eyes are full of energy.
Zhongtian had been trying to find out the reason for Ye Qing's death, but Ye Qing had no ties in this world, and the person she was most connected with was actually Shan Fuping!
"Xichun, bring him back to the manor. We must pry all the information about Lady Ye out of him!"
"Yes!"
After a day of turmoil at the Dali Temple, Zhong Tian returned to his residence. The Zhong residence was brightly lit, and a thin layer of snow had fallen on the ground. Zhong Tian stood in the courtyard, looking at the main courtyard and then at the Bamboo Pavilion.
She stopped in her tracks! She didn't know what choice to make! A fierce internal struggle was raging within her!
Xia Jin'an had known about Zhongtian's return to the manor for a long time! She waited in the courtyard of Zhuli Pavilion, letting the snowflakes fall on his somewhat thin shadow.
The bamboo grove at Zhuli Pavilion swayed in the breeze, so Zhongtian couldn't see Xia Jin'an, but Xia Jin'an could see Zhongtian clearly.
He stood there, hoping that Zhongniang would come to accompany him. As long as she came, he would not care about anything else. He went to find Xia Muning in person and told him that he would no longer be a concubine. He was willing to be a servant, respectful to his lord and loyal to his wife.
but…..
He watched helplessly as Zhongtian turned towards the main courtyard. His heart was as cold as ice. He hugged himself to keep from freezing to death in this winter night!
"Minglu, bring me some Red Dew Wine. Let's get drunk and forget all our sorrows. I'm going to get really drunk today!"
