Chapter 114: Judgment
Zhong Quan recounted the case of the Ning family's destruction two years ago.
At that time, there were five wealthy families involved in this matter, and the Zhong family was one of them. The purpose of the five families is, of course, to obtain the life crystal nucleus of the Ning family. Even if the Life Crystal Nucleus has been devoured by people, they can still kill people! It's just that what the five families didn't expect was that this Life Crystal Nucleus brought an invisible ability, and because of this ability, it helped Ning Yang escape the catastrophe.
Naturally, the five families didn't know the secret of the stealth ability, they only thought that the Ning family had hidden Ning Yang, so after the door was destroyed, the five families were looking for Ning Yang's whereabouts. It's just that over time, after searching for no results, they gradually gave up.
The Zhong family even had the death of the head of the family, and it was impossible to spend any more energy to find Ning Yang.
Speaking of the case of destroying the door, Zhongquan was strongly opposed at first. After all, there is only one life crystal nucleus, and after the five families join forces, only one family can get it in the end. Although other families can also share in the benefits, they are too far behind the life crystal nucleus. This kind of thankless work, Zhong Quan doesn't want to do.
But Master Zhong thought that even if they couldn't get the Life Crystal Nucleus, they would be able to share a lot of wealth, so he decided to get involved. In the end, none of the five families got the Life Crystal Nucleus, and they didn't even have wealth. In order not to leave a handle, the five families did not send their own people, but spent money to hire mercenaries.
The mercenaries killed everyone in the Ning family, and the treasures they robbed naturally took them for themselves, and then slapped their butts and left, and the five families could only scold shamelessly, but there was no way.
Master Zhong was angry about this incident for a long time, and he became ill because of it.
Zhong Quan's gaze became colder and colder: "Since that incident, my father's health has deteriorated. Zhongbai was ready to make a move, he killed my father, and kicked me out of the house. That's not all, he always wanted to get rid of me, and often sent killers over, but the four guards I hired were good, and I was careful every time I was vigilant, so that I could escape assassination. β
"I want the trial court to retry the case of the Ning family's annihilation, do you have any way to reveal the truth of the matter?" asked Chen Ran.
Zhong Quan said helplessly: "My words alone are not enough, if I appear in court, I will face not only Zhong Bai, but also the other four families, so it is useless to rely on me to testify." β
"Is there any evidence then?" asked Chen Ran.
Zhong Quan looked helpless: "Maybe there will be evidence left in the main house of the Zhong family, but I live outside now, how can I look for it?"
"This is easy, I'll take you to find it now. Chen Ran turned into a puff of black gas, rolled up Zhongquan and left.
After a while, Chen Ran entered the main mansion of the Zhong family. It's much more luxurious and lively than where Zhongquan lives, and there are many guards walking around in the middle of the night.
Chen Ran took Zhongquan to the roof and immediately asked, "Where will there be evidence?"
"There will be a study room. Zhong Quan was just guessing, he pointed in one direction, and Chen Ran quickly led him into the study.
Jook-kwan used to live here, so he was very familiar with the room layout. He quickly rummaged through and opened some hidden compartments where valuables were hidden.
After a while, Zhongquan shouted excitedly: "There is!"
He had a lot of letters in his hand: "These are the letters of my father and other families, and they have discussed the destruction of the family, so they can definitely be used as evidence!"
"Can these letters, and your testimony, bring down the other families?" asked Chen Ran worriedly.
Zhongquan fell silent, these were indeed not enough.
"It would be nice to find evidence from other families. Zhong Quan sighed.
"Are you sure there is evidence left by the other families as well?"
Zhongquan replied affirmatively: "Of course, our five families have left evidence for each other, just to prevent being betrayed by each other. If there is evidence, there will be no black hands between each other. β
These people are really dark-hearted, Chen Ran took Zhongquan back to the Ning family's old mansion, and in order not to be discovered by others, he took Zhongquan into an empty room.
"I'll visit the other families tomorrow. Chen Ran wanted to take back the letter and leave, but Zhong Quan held the evidence in his hand.
"I can't give you anything now, I've helped you so much, you should help me too. Zhong Quan smiled.
Chen Ran said: "The case of the Ning family's destruction is solved, and Zhong Bai, as the current master of the Zhong family, will definitely be punished, isn't this enough?"
Zhong Quan shook his head: "You are too naΓ―ve, Zhong Bai can put all the blame on his father, and the Zhong family will fine some money at most, and they will not be punished more at all." β
Chen Ran's face was gloomy, and he ignored too many things. Even if the truth of the extermination case is revealed, the five families will use means to minimize the losses. Some will be punished, but the vast majority will be exonerated. Although Chen Ran didn't intend to wipe everyone out, the punishment of the five families couldn't be too small.
"I see, when the court decides, I'll do it secretly. Chen Ran said coldly. Some things still have to be solved by strength, and the law alone is not enough.
Zhongquan still asked uneasily, "How are you going to make a move?"
"Murder pays for life, and some deserve to die must die. Chen Ran said lightly.
"Do you think Zhongbai deserves to die?" asked Zhongquan.
"If he really killed his father, he deserved to die!"
Zhongquan finally handed the letter to Chenran, and Chenran left immediately.
Returning to the inn at dawn, he told them what he had learned of the night. Ning Yang was very happy, because the day when the truth was coming out was getting closer and closer, he also became well-behaved and waited patiently for the result.
Chen Ran took Xu Lai, Mi Cai, and Tong Tong to continue to go out to find out the news, this time their target was another family. The youngest son in the family aroused everyone's interest because he was very domineering. The children of rich families naturally have many pampered people. And often this kind of person is very greedy for life and afraid of death.
So with some coercion, he can even sell his own soul!
In the evening, Chen Ran started to act again. He successfully infiltrated the mansion and then secretly hijacked the gentleman. After some persecution, he told the house where important things were hidden.
Chen Ran took him to check, and the search was not small. There are not only important letters, but also documents to contact mercenaries.
He quickly left with these things, and soon these families will start to act, so Chen Ran plans to go to the court tomorrow!
He contacted Zhongquan at night and brought him to the inn as well, so that he would not be assassinated or assassinated.
As soon as Zhongquan left on the front foot, the killer entered the mansion on the back foot. These were all sent by Zhongbai, and when he found out that the letter was missing, he knew that it had been stolen by his brother, so he immediately sent a killer.
Fortunately, Zhongquan had already left, and his wife and children had already taken refuge in the city during the day, so the killers pounced.
Early the next morning, Chen Ran and the others came directly to the trial court. According to the process, they need to go to the order office to report the crime first. However, some major cases can be handled directly through the trial court.
So everyone came to the courtroom, Ning Yang did not pretend, he was a victim and an important witness.
Led by Zhong Quan, he called someone from the trial court to report the case. As soon as the other party heard that it was a case of exterminating the door two years ago, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately went to prepare.
The trial court needed to convene the presiding judge and the jury, and it also had to dig through the materials of the two-year-old case, which took most of the day to complete.
The time of the trial was already in the evening, and the court would not have been held at this time, but because the case was serious, an exception was made. The trial court did not notify the five families, and the trial was just a warm-up.
As soon as Ning Yang appeared in court, he attracted the exclamation of the jury. He and Zhongquan told the truth of the case together and produced a lot of evidence.
The presiding judge took the evidence, preserved it, and then ordered the heads of the five families to be summoned.
The matter involved five figures with heads and faces, and the inquisition court specially consulted the city lord's mansion and mobilized the people of the order to arrest the suspects together.
As soon as the inquisition court started its operation, the rumors had already spread, and the matter was in an uproar, and the five families were caught off guard. The time was too short, and they were still wondering who had stolen their belongings, and the law enforcement had already caught them.
After all, it is a big family, the head of the family was arrested, and the people below immediately took action, and a battle for the truth has just begun......
