Chapter 12
At this moment, everyone understands that it is true that the government has increased the punishment and abolished martial arts in this matter.Many people with violent personalities have already begun to curse.

Shang Zhixian's face turned blue, and he left in a hurry, not wanting to continue to face this large group of seething and angry people.

When he crossed the threshold of the hall, he was still trying to explain: "The county magistrate has always enforced the law fairly, and is clean and honest. There is absolutely no such thing as the so-called Wanjia sending money to make the prisoner give a heavy sentence." It caused a burst of laughter.

In this era when the imperial court sells officials and lords, and seeks the people's fat and anointment, almost everyone knows the saying that "three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver". No one believes that the county magistrate, as the head of a county, will be a "clean and honest" official.

Listening to the noisy laughter and discussions of the guests, Wan Zhenshan felt more and more heavy, flustered and struggling.

He already understood that this wedding would definitely not go on. After all, even the "daughter-in-law" turned against her first, and most of the guests also listened to each other. At this point, it was impossible to turn the tables.

After today, my father and son will become the laughing stock, and the image of colluding with the government will be confirmed.At least the Wan family bribed the government to increase Di Yun's punishment. This is an irrefutable fact, and we have to admit it.

Even if he forcibly denies it now, after the banquet is over, if someone asks the jailer in Jingzhou City, he will definitely be able to learn about the situation in the prison.

It's fine to admit to bribing officials, but the bad reputation of framing fellow sects must not be left behind.The daughter-in-law can remarry, but the reputation and family business that have been in business for many years cannot be regained.Once one is disliked or even hated by fellow martial artists, the consequences will be much more serious.

However, Wan Zhenshan is worthy of being a famous person who has been through the rivers and lakes for a long time, has rich experience, and single-handedly founded such a big business. He quickly cheered up and thought of a suitable excuse.

I saw this tall old man with gray beard and hair, his eyes were moist and he sighed with emotion:

"Hey, all the friends in the Jianghu, you should have heard of my fellow apprentice of Wan Zhenshan, 'Iron Lock Hengjiang' Qi Changfa."

"On the same day and a few hours before Di Yun committed the crime, I accidentally discovered that the death of my teacher 'Iron Bone Moe' Mei Niansheng was actually related to my junior brother."

"After all, he is a brother of the same school, and there is a friendship. I invited him into the study together, and persuaded him with kind words. I don't want him to do anything difficult. I just hope that he can go to the master's grave to kowtow a few times, and admit his mistakes to the teacher. It's over."

"But what I didn't expect was that after he knew that I found out the truth back then, he became malicious and attacked me brazenly, almost killing me. I was seriously injured that day. Disciples, doctors in Jingzhou City, including Master Qi's niece, can all testify."

Having said this, Wan Zhenshan's voice became a little heavy.

"I didn't want to reveal the secret of the division's internal turmoil, but today, in order to gain the trust of all my friends, I have no choice but to reveal it."

"Afterwards, Di Yun, my apprentice's apprentice, almost insulted my concubine and committed a crime. My son Wan Gui thought of filial piety, and thought that the two masters and apprentices insulted me one after the other was too abhorrent, so the money was aggravated. charged against Di Yun."

"But I'm not going to let Nephew Di stay in prison forever, and he will be released at that time. In fact, this is closer to using the government to punish his fellow disciples, so that he will know his way back. Abolishing martial arts, I don't want to Let him continue to have the power to harm others in the future and be an ordinary person."

"Think about it, if you also encounter such a thing, whether you have enough broad-mindedness to forgive such a pair of evil masters and apprentices. Of course, the means I used are indeed against the way of chivalry. Today I admit it completely here. , and will never do it again.”

"And the so-called allegation of framing and wronging Di Yun is really nonsense and unbelievable. As for the fact that Miss Qi fell in love with my son Wan Gui for some reason later, it was something I hadn't expected. But speaking of it, Our Wan family has concealed the truth, and we are ashamed of her after all."

When Wan Zhenshan said this, he paused, and deliberately glanced at Wan Gui's handsome face.

The meaning in it is obviously implying that Qi Fang's "liking" is actually due to Wan Gui's appearance and the wealth of the Wan family, and to label her as a woman with a heartless heart and bad conduct in order to reduce the credibility of her words .

"Miss Qi, I, Wan Zhenshan, am here to apologize to you. To show my sincerity, I will send gifts to the Lord Futai and the Lord Magistrate to intercede. I hope they will release Di Yun as soon as possible."

"In addition, I will also pay two or three thousand taels of silver. I hope that you brothers and sisters can forgive my mistakes, and I also hope that this girl can stop pursuing it."

After finishing the fabricated speech, Wan Zhenshan solemnly bowed to Qi Fang and Zhao Qing, as if sincerely.

……

Qi Fang was full of sadness and entanglement, and fell into deep thought.

Over the past three years, Wan's family has treated him well.Even though he could be regarded as the daughter of an "enemy", he still provided food, clothing, housing and transportation equivalent to that of a wealthy family. Wan Gui even came to comfort himself every morning and evening.

If there were no people like them, maybe I would have committed suicide in despair after learning the news that my father had escaped and my senior brother had committed the crime.

But senior brother was indeed framed by them, how could he just forgive him like this?How can the suffering and torture he has suffered in the past three years be measured by some money?How could Uncle Wan think so?

But what if you don't accept it?Brother Di is still being imprisoned in the heavily guarded death row. I am alone with ordinary martial arts and no influence. I am afraid that I have no chance to rescue my brother.But Uncle Wan said that he has a way... Do you want to accept the apology?

Thinking about it, she looked at Zhao Qing with sad and sad eyes. This girl who suddenly appeared for no reason and allowed herself to know the truth of the year, probably would not agree to Master Wan's apology.Then I can't disregard morality and go against her.

I just don't know if she is capable and willing to help rescue Brother Di?Alas, that is my brother's fate, and it is also my fate.I myself also distrusted and wronged senior brother for so long, even if I cut him into pieces and died in prison, I should have done so.

As if seeing what Qi Fang was thinking at this moment, Zhao Qing patted Qi Fang's shoulder lightly to show comfort and support, then looked at Wan Zhenshan and Wan Gui who had regained their composure, and said in a deep voice road:

"Wan Zhenshan, you changed your rhetoric when you saw that the situation was not good. It is also absurd to say that you are guilty of exoneration. Wan Gui, 'Do you still remember Brother Di Yundi who was framed and imprisoned by us together', this sentence lasted for an hour. How do you want to wash away what your predecessor said?"

It turned out that Wan Gui asked Shen Cheng to do things in a low voice at that time, but Zhao Qing, who had been paying attention, heard it, and now she imitated it and said it again with the same tone as Wan Gui at that time.

"Next, the two witnesses I invited will appear on the stage, so that you can no longer quibble."

Zhao Qing exerted all his strength in this sentence, and his voice shook the roof tiles, and it spread throughout the entire Wanjia compound.

The candles in the hall dimmed at the same sound, and the candle light did not come back to light until the sound stopped, and the flames on the top continued to elongate and shrink, trembling endlessly.

The moods of the bystanders also fluctuated like this candlelight.

Only the sound of "stamping" was heard, and a purple-faced big man with round eyes and beard walked quickly into the hall, with one arm around a handsome young man in a silk leather robe with an obvious purple-black pinch mark on his neck, and the other Holding a middle-aged beggar woman with unkempt hair and haggard face in one hand.

This person is Ma Daming, who was previously coerced and controlled by Zhao Qing with the technique known as "strength penetrating into the dead point", and he promised to do two things.

So he obeyed Zhao Qing's order and captured Tao Hong, who participated in framing Di Yun and was now hiding in the dilapidated ancestral hall of Wan's family, and Shen Cheng, who returned to Wan's family after giving Di Yun a wedding cake in the prison.

Ma Daming is also regarded as the first-class expert in the "Wansheng Dao" sect. He has more than 20 years of skill in "Splitting Gua Dao". Even against Wan Zhenshan himself, he can block forty or fifty moves. Wan Zhenshan's young disciples, whom he had never taught with all his heart, naturally managed to catch them.

……

Staring at the two familiar people, Wan Zhenshan's heart skipped a beat.

That's all for the somewhat crazy Tao Hong, how could her apprentice Shen Cheng become the other side's witness?

Could it be that he has discovered that he has been hiding the superb swordsmanship that he has been hiding for a long time, or that he has learned the rumors about Liancheng Jue, and betrayed his family and teacher like he did back then?

No wonder the other party knew so clearly about the circumstances of framing Di Yun back then. After all, Shen Cheng had originally thought up the plan, but he hadn't thought of it before.

Hmph, this Shen Cheng is usually eloquent, cunning and changeable, and has a lot of thoughts, so he should have been wary long ago.

Also, that purple-faced man seems to be a master of the rivers and lakes that Ling Zhifu has recruited in recent years. Could it be that the magistrate's yamen wants to deal with him?It turns out that everything has been explained, only the government has such energy.

Are they looking for the wealth of Wanguan family in my Wanfu, or are they looking for the hidden treasure in Liancheng Jue?Could this be the method of second junior brother Yan Daping?
Wan Zhenshan was completely panicked. He forcibly suppressed the emotion of wanting to drag his son Wan Gui away, forced a stiff smile, and tried to struggle again, hoping that he had guessed the truth wrong.
