The onlookers gathered at the door to watch the trial, all letting out one scream after another.
Murder! Master Wei actually killed his own child!
Wei Zian held the blade, his eyes wide open, disbelief written all over his face.
He coughed up blood: "Fa... Father..."
However, in just the blink of an eye, Wei Zian died with his eyes open.
Master Wei’s eyes were bloodshot, making them appear red and fierce.
His face showed anger, veins bulging.
Blood dripped from the blade, drop by drop onto the ground.
The nearby County Governnt had long been scared into fainting.
Everyone was in a stupor.
Pri Minister Wen recovered his senses and slamd the table, shouting: "Master Wei, what are you doing!"
Master Wei gripped the hilt tightly, his knuckles turning blue.
Only he knew how much it hurt inside.
Master Wei released his grip, and Wei Zian’s body fell to the ground with a thud.
And as a father, Master Wei did not look at it again.
He turned around, facing the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Bai Zhi’er, saying: "This rebellious son dared to act behind my back and commit such a foolish act, his guilt is unforgivable!"
"I, Wei Caijie, have been upstanding all my life, never committing any atrocities, yet I did not keep my family in check, allowing my son to make such a mistake!"
"Therefore, I personally killed him to clean the household, which serves as an explanation to you all, and to the Emperor as well!"
Bai Zhi’er could not see his expression, but hearing his words, the little guy’s dark, shiny eyes appeared very surprised.
The Heavenly Book says that even a tiger won’t eat its cubs, how ruthless is Master Wei!
Feng Fuce held Bai Zhi’er, his cold eyes fixed on Master Wei.
A slight, mocking smile appeared on the teen’s thin lips.
To protect oneself, they’re really capable of doing anything.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was stunned and couldn’t help but ask: "Master Wei, do you an that all these things were done by your son, and you were unaware?"
Master Wei cupped his hands and said: "I have been a magistrate for many years, not understanding much else but knowing it was not easy to make my way to where I am today step by step."
"Given that, how could I have condoned my son beating people on the street or fabricating false evidence in such absurd acts?"
"If the court knew, would I not be destroying myself by my own hand? Such absurdity, I was naturally unaware, and he had kept in the dark all along."
"This rebellious son once told he was being frad, which led to disputes. I believed him, never imagining that he deceived !"
Master Wei expressed that he was unaware of Wei Zian’s actions.
At this point in the trial, even the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was at a loss.
In all his years as a magistrate, he’d never encountered such a situation.
"This... Pri Minister, what do you think we should do now?" he looked at Pri Minister Wen.
Pri Minister Wen had to turn his head and quietly ask Bai Zhi’er: "Princess, now that the culprit has been punished, the case needs to be closed."
Bai Zhi’er blinked long lashes, her little face filled with reluctance.
The little guy understood, now that Wei Zian was dead, Master Wei would naturally not be implicated.
After all, Wei Zian was the mastermind.
Bai Zhi’er muttered grumblingly: "Didn’t catch the big ones, so angry."
Feng Fuce heard and slightly raised an eyebrow.
He responded in a deep voice: "Next ti, there will be a chance."
Bai Zhi’er looked up, her big eyes glistening as she looked at Feng Fuce.
The little guy thought for a bit and then decisively nodded: "Then let’s close the case!"
Brother Ce said there would be another chance next ti, so it surely will happen!
This ti, we’ll have to settle for this.
However, getting Wei Zian, who did great evils, the punishnt he deserved is not a complete loss.
