Chapter 437: There Was No Him In His Father's Eyes

something a man says to a womanBut his wife was different from ordinary women. This must be because she cared about her performance. If he refused, wouldn't it make his wife sadAfter some thoughtful...Of course, the old patriarch wouldn't let them just take his eldest son away. He desperately blocked the officers.

"Several gentlemen, could it be that you have made a mistake My eldest son is an honest man. How could he possibly commit murder"

He wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken in his daily life, how could he possibly kill someone Who died anyway

The official let out a cold snort. "The evidence is solid, with both eyewitness and physical proof. Could we possibly wrong him"

"The deceased's surname is Liu, and her given name is Xiang. Isn't she your daughter-in-law"

When the official mentioned this, Elder Zong did recall that he hadn't seen Mrs. Liu at home these past few days.

If such a thing happened, Hu Ailan would have long since found an opportunity to hide away. There was no one left for Zong Lao to discuss this with.

Zong Lao San stood at the back, looking cowardly, even more afraid than his wife He Shi. He was a complete pushover, lacking any backbone or courage whatsoever.

If it weren't for the fact that this third son was so utterly useless, he wouldn't have to pin all his hopes on future generations.

For everything, he always consulted Hu Ai-lan, this outsider.

"Officer, this must be a mistake! My eldest son and Liu are husband and wife. How could my son Pingkang have killed his own wife"

With no one to help, Old Master Zong had no choice but to single-handedly tie up the officials. He figured that if he was difficult enough, his son would have a chance to catch his breath and escape.

Old Mrs. Wu started to make a fuss, seizing every opportunity to stir up trouble. As soon as she sat before the officials, she burst into an overwhelming display of tears and wailing.

"Come on, everyone! Quickly come and help us settle this!"

"The official is going to be wronged to death!"

"We are honest and upright people, how could we possibly do something like murder Wouldn't that be framing my son for a crime he didn't commit"

"Oh my God, please open your eyes quickly."

Several officials were made quite irritable by the old couple, “We said all along that we apprehend people based on evidence.”

"Those who live on the mountain are also from your clan, aren't they Liu Shi's body is now on the mountain. When Liu Shi died, she was clutching a piece of cloth in her hand—it was torn off during the struggle with the murderer."

"This piece, as we confirmed just now, was torn from your son's clothing. The evidence is irrefutable. I advise you two to stop interfering and obstructing our official duties."

Otherwise, by law, you could all be arrested and thrown in jail!

The official, with a cold face, sternly rebuked Wu Lao Tai, who instantly stopped howling in fright.

When the elder heard that his son had been arrested and it was linked to Fang Jinshu's family, he became furious, his face turning from white to green.

It must be Fang Jinxiu who's seeking revenge, it has to be her!

"Officer, that Fang Jinshi is a demoness! She's the real murderer, my son is innocent! You can't take him away, please don't!"

This was the first time Old Zong had ever panicked. He clutched tightly onto the official's sleeve, refusing to let go. Zong Pingkang cried with snot and tears running down his face.

"Father, father, please save me, my son doesn't want to die, I don't want to die yet."

"Waaaah, I didn't kill anyone."

Seeing his eldest son crying like a child at this age, Zong Laogou's heart melted.

Zongping Kang was his first child and eldest son. Of all the children in the family, he cherished Zongping Kang most.

It's precisely because of his love and indulgence that he, at over forty years old, still acts like a child who hasn't grown up.

"Don't take my son, please don't." The old man was shoved to the ground by the guards and couldn't get up for a long time, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Mrs. Wu was also crying and making a fuss. This was the first time Zong Lao San had seen his father like this.

Even when news came of the death of his most beloved second son, the father had never been so heartbroken.

At least Zong Lao San still had some conscience, he stepped forward and helped Zong Lao Tou and Mrs. Wu to their feet.

"Father, mother, don't bother the officials any more. If elder brother didn't commit murder, the magistrate will definitely let him come back."

If he really killed someone, we can't protect a murderer, can we

"This could implicate the whole family." His daughter-in-law had just gotten pregnant. It couldn't be ruined like this.

Sometimes, the third brother would also feel resentful, wondering why his father only had eyes for the eldest and second brothers, but not for him.o sign a servitude contract with me, a death contract."Fang Jinshi was stunned. She had forgotten that there was such a thing as a death pact in this world. Once signed, one's life would be completely...
