At this moment, everyone understood that it was indeed a fact that the government had increased the punishment and abolished the martial arts in this matter. Many irascible people have begun to scold out loud.

Shang Zhixian's face turned blue, and he didn't want to continue to face this large area of boiling and angry people, so he left in a hurry.

When he crossed the threshold of the hall, he was still trying to justify: "Benzhi County has always enforced the law impartially, honestly and honestly, and there is no such thing as the so-called ten thousand families issuing money to make prisoners severely sentenced." There was a burst of laughter.

In this era when the imperial court sold officials and looted the people's fat and ointment, the saying "three years to clear the prefect's mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver" is almost universally known, and no one believes that the magistrate, as the head of a county, will be an "honest and honest" official.

Wan Zhenshan listened to the noisy laughter and conversation of the guests, and his heart became heavier, more and more flustered and struggling.

He already understands that this wedding will definitely not be able to go on, after all, even the "daughter-in-law" has reversed first, and the vast majority of the guests have also listened to each other, at this point, it is impossible to turn the tables.

After today, his father and son will become a laughing stock and confirm the image of collusion with the government. At least Wan Wan paid to bribe the government to increase Di Yun's punishment, which is an irrefutable fact and has to be admitted.

Even if he forcibly denies it now, when the banquet is over and someone finds the jailer in Jingzhou City to inquire, he will definitely be able to understand the situation in the prison.

Even if you admit to bribing officials, you must not lose the bad reputation of framing your fellow disciples. A daughter-in-law can remarry, but the reputation and family business that have been in business for many years cannot be restored. Once you are 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 in the rivers and lakes for a long time, has rich experience, and single-handedly founded the great business, he quickly cheered up and thought of a suitable word.

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

"Alas, all friends in the rivers and lakes, you should have heard of my fellow disciple of Wan Zhen Mountain, 'Iron Lock Hengjiang' Qi Changfa."

"On the same day and a few hours before Di Yun's crime, I accidentally discovered the death of my mentor 'Iron Bone Ink Calyx' Mei Niansheng, and it was actually related to my junior brother."

"After all, they are brothers and sisters, and they have friendship. I invited him into the study together, and I didn't want him to do anything difficult, I just hoped that he could kowtow a few times to the master's grave, admit his mistakes to the master, and it would be over. ”

"But what I didn't expect was that after he found out the truth about me, he had bad intentions and attacked me blatantly, almost saving my life. I was seriously injured that day, and my disciples, the doctors in Jingzhou City, including Master Qi's niece, were able to testify. ”

Speaking of this, Wan Zhenshan's voice was a little heavier.

"I didn't want to talk about the secret of this internal turmoil in the division, but today in order to gain the trust of all friends, I have to tell it."

"After that, my junior brother's apprentice, Di Yun, almost insulted my concubine and committed a crime. My son Wan Gui thought about filial piety, and it was too hateful to think that the two masters and apprentices had bullied me in turn, so that Qian aggravated Di Yun's crime. ”

"But I'm not going to let Master Di's nephew stay in prison forever, and he will still be released when the time comes. In fact, this is closer to using the government to punish his fellow disciples, so that he can find his way back. Abolishing martial arts is also because I don't want him to continue to have the force that can harm people in the future and be an ordinary person. ”

"Just imagine, if you also encounter such a thing, do you have a broad enough mind to forgive such a pair of masters and apprentices who have done evil. Of course, the methods I have used are indeed contrary to chivalrous ways, and I confess here today as they are, and I will never do it again in the future. ”

And the so-called statement that Di Yun was framed and wronged is really nonsense and cannot be believed. As for Miss Qi, I didn't know why she fell in love with my son Wangui, but I didn't expect it. But speaking of which, our Wan family concealed the truth, and we were ashamed of her after all. ”

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

The meaning is obviously to imply that Qi Fang's "like" is actually derived from Wan Gui's appearance and Wan Jia's wealth, and she is branded as a woman with a weak heart and poor conduct, so as to reduce the credibility of her words.

"Miss Qi, I, Wan Zhenshan, am here to apologize to you. In order to show my sincerity, I will give gifts to Lord Futai and Lord Zhixian to intercede, hoping that 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 your brothers and sisters will forgive me for my mistakes at that time, and I also hope that this girl will not be held accountable."

After finishing the fabricated rhetoric, Wan Zhenshan solemnly saluted Qi Fang and Zhao Qing, as if he was sincere.

……

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

In the past three years, Wanjiamen's subordinates have treated themselves badly. Although she can be regarded as the daughter of an "enemy", she still provides food, clothing, shelter and transportation equivalent to that of a rich and noble family, and Wan Guita comes to comfort herself every morning and evening.

If it weren't for them, maybe I would have committed suicide in despair after learning the news of my father's escape and my brother's crime.

But Senior Brother was indeed framed by them, how can he be forgiven like this? How can the suffering and torture he have suffered in the past three years be measured by some money? How could Master Wan think that?

But what if you don't accept it? Senior Brother Di is still being held on death row in a heavily guarded prison with ordinary martial arts and no power, so I am afraid that there is no chance to rescue Senior Brother. But Uncle Wan said that he had a way...... Should you accept an apology or not?

Thinking about it, she looked at Zhao Qing with sad eyes, this girl who suddenly appeared for no reason and allowed herself to learn the truth of the year, should not agree to Uncle Wan's apology. Then I can't ignore morality and go against her.

I just don't know if she has the ability and willingness to help rescue Senior Brother Di? Alas, that is the life of my brother, and it is also my life. I myself also don't trust and wronged my senior brother for so long, even if I fight with a thousand knives and rob the prison to death, I should be.

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

"Wan Zhenshan, when you see that the situation is not good, you change your rhetoric; Clever words in order to get rid of the guilt are also ridiculous. Wan Gui, 'Do you remember Senior Brother Di Yundi who was framed and imprisoned by us', how do you want to wash this sentence that you said an hour ago? ”

It turned out that Wan Gui whispered to Shen Cheng to do things at that time, but Zhao Qing, who had been paying attention for a long time, listened to it, and at this moment, she imitated it and spoke it again in a tone that was the same as Wan Gui at that time.

"Then I'll have two witnesses to appear, so you won't be able to quibble anymore."

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

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

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

So he obeyed Zhao Qing's instructions and captured Taohong, who participated in the framing of Di Yun and is now hiding in the dilapidated ancestral hall of Wanjia, and Shencheng, who returned to Wanjia after sending Di Yun a wedding cake in prison.

Ma Daming is also a first-class player in the "Wansheng Knife" door, and he has more than 20 years of skill in the "Hexagram Splitting Knife", even against Wan Zhenshan himself, he can block forty or fifty moves. He took action against the young disciples that Wan Zhenshan had never taught with his heart, and he was able to catch them.

……

Looking at the familiar two, Wan Zhenshan's heart chuckled.

It's just a little crazy Taohong, how could his apprentice Shen Cheng become a witness on the other side?

Could it be that he discovered that he had been hiding his secret and not teaching him the best swordsmanship, or that he had learned about the rumors about Liancheng Jue, and had betrayed his master like he had done back then?

No wonder the other party knew so clearly about the situation of framing Di Yun back then, after all, the plan was originally thought up by Shen Cheng, but he didn't think of it before.

Hmph, this Shen Cheng is usually sharp-toothed, cunning and changeable, and has a lot of eyes, so he should have been on guard for a long time.

Also, that purple-faced man seems to be the good hand in the rivers and lakes that the Ling Governor's Mansion has recruited in recent years, could it be that the Prefect's Yamen wants to deal with him? I see, everything has been explained, and only the government has such energy.

Did they take a fancy to my Wanguan family wealth, or did they want to find the hidden treasure in the Liancheng Secret? Could this be the means of the second junior brother Yan Daping?

Wan Zhenshan's heart was completely panicked, he forcibly suppressed the emotion of wanting to pull his son Wan Gui away, and reluctantly squeezed out a stiff smile, trying to struggle a little more, hoping that he had guessed the truth wrong.
