Xu Zhen also guessed beforehand that even though Qiu Batian's case was a personal grudge, Pan Wending would never only consider the immediate situation.
After all, Qiu Batian's backstage was the Minister of Civil Affairs, and this person was the key to convicting and sentencing Qiu Batian.
Therefore, he must be fully prepared on the road to filing a complaint, and superior officials will definitely come to Yanping County to investigate the situation.
Sure enough, the superiors actually sent Sima Xin, who joined the army in Songzhou, and Cai Jin, the county governor, to try the case, which shows how seriously they took it.
Xu Zhen was also able to judge that since the superiors attached so much importance to this case, they would naturally handle it cautiously and should focus on "delaying" it. Most likely, they would have to wait until they communicated with the Minister of Civil Affairs before actually handling it.
Therefore, in order to add fuel to the fire as soon as possible, Xu Zhen taught Sima Xin all the ins and outs of the case, various clues and trial ideas in a confidential letter.
In other words, Sima Xin's series of amazing operations in the court were actually all Xu Zhen's masterpieces.
Sima Xin was naturally happy when he discovered that the case was just a frame-up by Pan Wending. In this way, Qiu Batian's charges can be clarified and he can be acquitted, and he will no longer have to worry about the attitude of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Therefore, Sima Xin only took one day to verify the information and couldn't wait to be promoted to the court.
Speaking of which, Sima Xin is not an idle person. Although he is anxious to go to court, he still noticed an issue early on, that is, if he wants to prove that Pan Wending is the real murderer, it is very likely to involve the old case of Qiu Batian's murder of Pan Wending's family.
Once the case is established, it means that he has done useless work, and Qiu Batian's crime will be more serious.
However, being as steady as an old dog, he still performed very well. When Pan Wending finally mentioned the revenge of exterminating his family, he only used the word "evidence" and left Pan Wending speechless.
Just as what he thought in court: If Pan Wending had evidence, he would have directly sued Qiu Batian for killing his whole family, and there would be no need to use Old Man Li's parents to make a fuss.
However, things are unpredictable, and he never expected that Butler Qiu would show up halfway!
The appearance of this important witness instantly disrupted his rhythm.
Of course, Butler Qiu did not appear out of thin air. Xu Zhen also arranged it early, so Sima Xin also unknowingly got involved.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Butler Qiu had nothing to lose. He did not do it for Pan Wending, but to avenge his own legs being beaten, so he stood up without hesitation...
Finally, Sima Xin panicked and began to use his power to forcefully withdraw from the court and end this out-of-control trial.
In fact, Xu Zhen's plan only ends here.
After Si MaXin forcibly withdraws from the court, this case will naturally cause an uproar. Therefore, Xu Zhen has already joined forces with his cousin to write hundreds of anonymous letters, planning to spread them widely among the people after resigning, building public opinion and putting pressure on Sima Xin...
However, what Xu Zhen didn't expect was that when Sima Xin was about to forcibly withdraw, an easter egg appeared, and there was a big surprise waiting for him.
To be honest, even if Xu Zhen tried his best, Song Zhili would step forward at the critical moment, causing the case to take a roller-coaster turn...
call……
Thinking back to Song Zhili's blood-curdling scene in the courtroom, Xu Zhen let out a heavy breath.
Although he knew that Song Zhili did what he did only for his own benefit, it was worthy of admiration to have such courage, right?
His thoughts turned back to the present, but he saw that his daughter-in-law Youmeng had already cleaned the dining table and was dealing with the floor.
Looking at the graceful figure of the girl and her youthful vitality, he couldn't help but be fascinated again, and some excessive thoughts even flashed through his mind.
With these thoughts, Xu Zhen couldn't help but start to imagine the future.
Now, Qiu Batian has been completely eradicated, Pan Wending will get his due retribution, and Song Zhili and others are about to face disaster.
In the future, when Song Zhili learns that the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has been promoted instead of being demoted, he will definitely go crazy and doubt himself. Therefore, he will end up being a yamen spy.
Moreover, not only in the Yamen, but also in Yanping County, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay any longer, right?
At this time, Youmeng passed by Xu Zhen carrying a dustpan and went to take out the garbage in the yard.
Xu Zhen actually grabbed her, startling the little girl and causing the dustpan to fall to the ground.
"Master, you..."
"Youmeng," Xu Zhen gently held Youmeng's shoulders, looked at the house where he lived, and said, "I listen to you. I will find someone to look at the house tomorrow. After selling it, we will leave here and go there." Have a new life!”
"Master...oh no, young master..." Youmeng looked at Xu Zhen, feeling a little sudden. Although she thought Xu Zhen was drunk, she still asked with longing, "Where should we go after we leave here? Daguan City?"
"No," Xu Zhen said leisurely, "Let's go to the holy capital of Xuanmiao City. How can we live a good life with just your father-in-law and my abilities!"
"Xuan... Xuanmiao City..." Youmeng pondered this familiar yet unfamiliar name, feeling a little unreal.
"Come on!" Xu Zhen said, "Since we want to sell the house, come with me and let's go and pay homage to our parents!"
After saying that, regardless of Youmeng's feelings, he pulled Youmeng towards the backyard.
Soon, they came to the ancestral hall and knelt in front of their parents' memorial tablets.
"My parents," Xu Zhen clasped his hands and said sincerely, "Youmeng and I will temporarily sell our ancestral home and go away. We will redeem our ancestral home when we make a comeback one day. I hope your parents will forgive me. …”
All this happened so suddenly that Youmeng couldn't react, but when he saw Xu Zhen kowtow, he kowtowed anyway.
But after knocking down, she suddenly saw a huge stone placed in front of Xu Zhen, and Xu Zhen was placing his hand on the stone, as if he wanted to move the stone away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from behind the two of them.
A man in black with a steel knife in his hand appeared in the ancestral hall at some point. Seeing Xu Zhen kowtow, the man rushed towards Xu Zhen with a single arrow. He stabbed Xu Zhen with the steel knife, intending to stab Xu Zhen to death from behind. !
Wow...
As a result, the ground suddenly collapsed, and the man in black lost his footing and fell straight into the pit.
At the same time, Xu Zhen picked up the stone with both hands, turned around, raised it, and threw it into the pit without hesitation.
With a scream, there was suddenly no sound from the bottom of the pit. Apparently, the man in black was hit by a stone and fainted on the spot...
snort……
Xu Zhen snorted coldly and said to himself, I didn't dig this hole for nothing.
It turns out that when Xu Zhen dug a hole here before, it was not to dig for some treasure, but because he had long expected that such a day would come, so he dug a trap.
He looked around and saw the man in black lying at the bottom of the pit, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
However, as soon as Xu Zhen poked his head out, another man in black rushed into the door. Without any explanation, this man raised his hand and fired a poisonous arrow straight at Xu Zhen's door.
I go……
Xu Zhen didn't react slowly, and quickly lowered his head to dodge. The poisonous arrows were quickly nailed to the wooden pillar, and all of them disappeared!
The visitor was no ordinary person. While firing the poisonous arrow, he had already flown forward and kicked Xu Zhen in the chest.
The huge impact kicked Xu Zhen away, and his back hit the altar table hard, causing the offerings and tablets on the altar to rattle.
Uh-huh!
A dagger flashed out from the man in black's sleeve. He crossed the pit with one foot and stabbed Xu Zhen straight into the chest...
"ah……"
You Meng had never seen such a scene before, and he was so frightened that he screamed, thinking that Xu Zhen would be assassinated in front of his eyes.
However, a short stick suddenly whizzed past in mid-air and hit the man in black in the face.
ah?
The man in black was shocked, but he only had a short dagger in his hand. In a hurry, he could only block with his arms, preparing to catch the stick.
But he never expected that the short stick would suddenly change its shape and sweep towards his legs instead.
Boom!
The short stick hit the man's legs with great force!
The man in black suddenly fell onto his back, his face and chest fell heavily to the ground, and he was in excruciating pain...
"Oh my god...why can't I even do this well!" She looked up and saw that the person holding the stick was Shen Yu, the tiger girl. She said to Xu Zhen with a guilty look on her face, "I I kept staring like this, but I still got my senior brother injured. I’m so useless, I..."
