At ten o'clock in the morning, the nine-tang joint trial officially began.
The hall where the conflict had occurred was tidied up and restored to its original cleanliness and integrity. Mrs. Zhao and the others sat in their proper positions on both sides.
Ye Fan and Tang Ruoxue also appeared in the hall.
After several hours of healing and rest, Tang Ruoxue's spirit had recovered to a certain extent, although her head was still covered with bandages and residual blood stains.
The eyes have a little more sparkle.
Ye Fan quietly sat beside her to provide support. No matter what the outcome, he would advance and retreat together with Tang Ruoxue.
Compared with the hatred between Qi Qingmei and Qin Muyue, Qin Wuji looked at Ye Fan with extremely peaceful eyes, and even nodded slightly to Ye Fan.
If he hadn't known that he was Qin Jiutian's grandfather, it would be difficult for Ye Fan to think that he was the master of suffering.
This trial was still dominated by Hou Men and witnessed by the nine families, but Zhu Changsheng and the others were able to question every doubt.
In the words of the Nine Thousand Years Old, it is a thorough examination.
"boom--"
Soon, there was a loud noise from a side door in front of the high platform, the door was opened, and two men and one woman came out.
One was a fat man, one was bald, and the other was a braided woman. They sat down on the high platform.
"Introduce yourself."
Although people from the Nine Families were present, the bald man and the others did not feel the slightest bit panic. They glanced at Ye Fan and others and then spoke:
"I am Jia Si Houmen, he is Si Zhen, and this is Si Zhong, who is responsible for the murder of Qin Jiutian."
"Let everyone see our documents so that they won't question our identity in the future."
He asked Han Sizhi to hand over the three people's IDs to Ye Fan and others for inspection, and only took them back after confirmation from all parties.
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. Although these people were as unkind as Han Sizhi, they were still strict in doing things, which was much more pleasing to the eye than Qi Qingmei and Wei Hongchao.
"Now that everyone is here, let's settle the matter quickly."
The braided woman looked at Tang Ruoxue: "Tang Ruoxue, you instigated Tang Qi to follow Qin Jiutian?"
Tang Ruoxue responded simply and neatly: "Yes!"
The fat man looked at him with a chill in his eyes: "Did you let him act according to the situation and kill Qin Jiutian to avoid future troubles?"
"no!"
Tang Ruoxue explained: "I said to act according to the situation. I hope he will follow carefully and not be discovered by Qin Jiutian. I have no intention of letting him kill anyone."
The bald man asked, "Did you give Tang Fei two million that afternoon?"
"Yes, he told me that a relative was seriously ill and needed some money. He wanted me to advance his salary of two million in advance."
Tang Ruoxue explained again: "He is my driver and bodyguard, and he is usually reliable. At that time, I happened to win 1.2 billion US dollars, so I transferred 2 million to him."
"Who can prove that he asked for this money from you, rather than the money you gave him for his life?"
The braided woman said coldly: "And how can you prove that what you said is true?"
Tang Ruoxue was silent for a while, then shook her head: "No one can confirm it except Tang Fei and me."
The bald man showed a strange smile: "Then bring Tang Fei up and confront him."
Han Si pointed out that they quickly brought Tang Fei up.
Although Tang Fei's nose was bruised, his face was swollen and he was covered in blood, Ye Tang obviously knew his importance, so his injuries were treated as much as possible and his mind remained clear.
But when he was thrown on the high platform, Tang Fei still trembled when he saw so many people, especially when he saw the spokespersons of the nine families.
"Verify identity..."
The braided woman shouted to Ye Fan and the others: "Tang Ruoxue, Ye Fan, you can identify it carefully. Is this your bodyguard Tang Fei?"
"He is Tang Fei, the abandoned son of the Tang clan. I can tell it at a glance without Tang Ruoxue and the others identifying him."
Before Tang Ruoxue and Ye Fan could say anything, Tang Shi'er suddenly shouted at the top of his voice:
"He stole my things and was kicked out by the Thirteenth Branch. I can recognize his wretched appearance and turned to ashes."
He also sneered: "Only the stupid Tang Ruoxue would use such a bad person."
After hearing what Tang Shi'er said, Tang Fei's body trembled, and then he looked up at Tang Shi'er, his breathing invisibly quickening.
The bald man waved his hand to signal Tang Shi'er to be quiet, and then asked Tang Ruoxue and Ye Fan to identify him.
Tang Ruoxue looked over and nodded: "Yes, he is Tang Fei, and he is also my driver and bodyguard."
"I recruited him from the list of abandoned sons of the Tang Sect. I saw that he had good driving skills and agility, and that his life was poor, so I asked Tang Qi to recruit him."
She looked at Tang Shi'er and sighed softly: "It's a pity that I never thought that a white-eyed wolf would come in."
Tang Fei looked in pain, lying on the ground biting his lip.
"Tang Fei, Tang Ruoxue said that he only asked you to follow Qin Jiutian, but did not ask you to kill Qin Jiutian."
The braided woman's voice deepened: "Ye Fan even denied giving you any instructions. Do you have anything to refute?"
"ah--"
Tang Fei wanted to open his mouth, but there was a burst of pain. He covered his heart and kept rolling and howling.
His face turned pale for a moment, like a blank sheet of paper, and then became extremely distorted, as if something had penetrated into his heart.
Mrs. Zhao and the others stood up straight and frowned at this scene.
Han Si pointed out that they rushed over when they saw the accident and subconsciously stepped forward to help Tang Fei.
"Don't move, he's been poisoned."
Seeing the green juice coming out of Tang Fei's mouth, Ye Fan's expression changed and he rushed forward:
"Give me a silver needle."
He roared: "Quick!"
Qin Muyue subconsciously shouted: "Ye Fan, don't think about killing people and silencing them."
Li Laogui and the others blocked Mark.
"If someone dies, I take full responsibility."
Ye Fan roared again: "Give me the silver needle quickly, otherwise he will really die of pain."
"Ignore him and call the doctor."
Qin Muyue gritted her teeth: "If the witness is killed by him, my brother's death will become an open case."
Zhu Changsheng shouted sharply: "You bastard, there are so many of us sitting here, how can Mark have the courage to kill people and silence them?"
Mrs. Zhao gave an order: "Let Ye Fan go over and give him the silver needle."
Qin Muyue and Li Laogui looked hesitant.
At this time, Qin Wuji said calmly: "Let him pass."
These people ate more salt than Qin Muyue and the others, and they could more or less tell that Tang Fei had really been poisoned, and that he was still at a critical moment of life and death.
Hou Mensansi also waved his hand: "Let Ye Fan pass."
After Qin Muyue and others heard this, they got out of the way and asked someone to bring Ye Fan a silver needle.
Ye Fan didn't waste any time. He tore off Tang Fei's shirt, took the silver needle and swished it, quickly controlling Tang Fei who was rolling on the ground.
Then, he dropped a dozen more needles, reducing Tang Fei's pain by most of it.
Striking while the iron is hot, Ye Fan applied the acupuncture again.
Qi Qingmei and the others were initially unimpressed with Ye Fan and did not think the silver needle could control the Gu insects, but their eyes soon widened.
As Ye Fan's silver needle fell, Tang Fei's pain became less and less, and there was a strange "chichi" sound on his skin, like a flow of air.
Then, everyone discovered that a thin red line appeared on Tang Fei's originally pale skin, following the direction of his meridians.
Wherever Ye Fan's needle went, the red thread followed.
After a moment, Tang Fei's exposed skin was covered with thin red lines like a fine spider web.
Mrs. Zhao and the others' eyes warmed slightly.
"flutter--"
As Ye Fan's last needle landed on Tang Fei's chin, a red bug flew out of Tang Fei's mouth, shooting towards Ye Fan in front of him like a sharp arrow.
Ye Fan was well prepared, and two silver needles pierced out, nailing the red bug to the ground.
Although the red bug was pinned, it was still struggling wildly. It was ugly, fierce and terrifying.
Old Ghost Li and the others quickly retreated as they approached, fearing that they would be accidentally attacked.
"Heart-eating Gu."
Ye Fan took a glass bottle and threw the red bugs in, then stood up and spoke to everyone:
"Tang Fei is fine, just take a rest."
He asked someone to bring a piece of clean clothes and put it on Tang Fei, who was panting and looking frightened.
The audience breathed a sigh of relief and then sat back in their seats.
Qi Qingmei's heart sank.
Tang Fei was poisoned, which means that his confession during the three interrogations may have changed.
She smelled something bad.
At this moment, Hou Men's Third Division hesitated: "Tang Fei is like this, take a two-hour rest and then interrogate?"
"No need to rest, no need to rest, I'll recruit, I'll tell the truth..."
Tang Fei suddenly hit his head on the floor, regained consciousness and shouted:
"It was Tang Hailong who asked me to kill people. He was the one who threatened me with poison and asked me to blame Tang Ruoxue."
"It was Qi Qingmei who suggested to me that dragging Mark in together would save me from suffering..."
