Cheng Fang took a deep breath, "I told the county magistrate that the stone was given to me by Liu Dade. The county magistrate said at first that I had no evidence, and I asked to confront Dade, but the county magistrate disagreed and even closed the case in a hurry. I was not convinced, so the county magistrate placed me a charge of contempt for court, which made me break my leg."

"I was beaten so hard that I couldn't stand it. The county magistrate thought I had fainted, but in fact I was still awake at that time. Then he saw Liu Dade walking in, and the two of them laughed at me while talking. I heard Dade call the county magistrate as... brother-in-law."

Brother-in-law???

The villagers looked at Dade in surprise. They originally thought that Dade had given the county magistrate some benefits. Who knew that... had such a relative relationship?

But when did Dade have an extra sister?

Cheng Fang's voice trembled, "I heard Liu Dade and the county magistrate say in a daze that if I don't plead guilty and insist on saying that he is the murderer, then just do it and kill me directly. Not only that, my family will not let me go. I will die if I die, but my children are so old, and my wife has not enjoyed a good life when she marrys me, but she ends up being killed by my implicatedness. How can I feel at ease?"

Shao Qingyuan narrowed his eyes, "So, have you pleaded guilty?"

"Yes, I confessed." Cheng Fang wiped his face, "In the end, he was sentenced to exile by the county magistrate to the southwest border to serve hard labor, but my legs were broken, and I was afraid that I would lose my life within half the way. My son couldn't bear it, saying that the father was paying his debts and his son, and he insisted on serving me. I disagreed, but he went to find the county magistrate himself. In the end, the county magistrate agreed, and put the person in shackles and took him away. My son, he is only thirteen years old this year..."

He is thirteen years old this year and was sentenced to only twelve years old last year. How can such a teenager withstand the hard labor?

Hu and A Yao felt uncomfortable when they thought of Cheng Xiaosong, who was still unknown to life and death, and shed tears silently.

Cheng Fang grabbed his wife's hand and his voice suddenly became angry, "The county magistrate has also been punished, and we will not let our family leave the village. My son was taken away. I thought it would end this matter. Who knows, who knows that the county magistrate and Liu Dade didn't want to let us go at all. When my wife went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, she would inexplicably roll down the hillside. There would be poisonous snakes swim in in the middle of the night, and my crutch would suddenly break. I know, I know they wanted to kill our whole family quietly."

He said, his eyes staring at Liu Dade with red eyes.

The villagers gasped, and someone whispered, "No wonder something happened to the Cheng family in the past six months. I was also wondering if their family had a wrong Feng Shui and was so unlucky."

Gu Yundong thought about what happened today, "That A Cui..."

"Actually, we were careless when A Cui encountered this kind of thing today." Hu said, "We knew that Liu Dade would not let us go, so we thought about how to save ourselves. But we could not fight the county magistrate at all. Don't say that we couldn't go out of this village, even if we went out, we would have no way to ask for help. Later, we even thought about whether we would run into the mountain to hide it, so it would be better if we were killed inexplicably at some point."
