At that moment, Chen Lin’er emerged from the shadows.
Su Bin inquired, “How did Wang Nian end up confessing?
Chen Lin’er revised the details and disclosed them.
“I knew that to gather evidence of his crimes, I had to first disorient Wang Nian. ”
“So, I pretended to be in a relationship with him and caught him off guard with a non-fatal stab.

“My intention was to gain control and force him to document his actions.”
“Once he had written it all down, I planned to expose his crimes to the authorities, but he unexpectedly broke free and tried to strangle me. I had no option but to defend myself with a knife.”
“During the struggle, he ended up being fatally stabbed.”
“I took his life to preserve my own. If I hadn’t, I would have been the one to perish. ”
“Governor, it was purely an act of self-defense. I never intended to purposefully take a life!”
“Before, I confessed. I felt defenseless, and my spirit was like ashes.”
“But reflecting on how Ms. Zhang and Wang Nian share the same guilt, yet she escaped consequences and continues to harm others, I cannot accept it. That’s why I had to revise my statement!”
Chen Lin’er’s words were carefully crafted by Qin Zhenzhen, rehearsed meticulously In reverse.
The spectators remained eerily silent.
Considering the ordeal Chen Lin’er’s family had endured, sympathy for her and disdain for Ms. Zhang deepened.
Ms. Zhang, for the sake of her shop, had inflicted harm upon Chen Lin’er’s family. If she were allowed to live, she would likely victimize others in the future. The crowd realized they might be the next targets if justice wasn’t served.
A voice rang out, breaking the silence. “Release Chen Lin’er and bring justice to Ms. Zhang! Eradicate the evil for the people!”
Soon, the collective cry echoed: “Release Chen Lin’er, punish Ms. Zhang, eradicate the evil for the people!”
In response, two lines of constables bellowed in unison, “Silence!”
As the clamor subsided, Su Bin emphatically struck the wooden stick. “Ms. Zhang, do you confess to your crimes?”
Ms. Zhang, defiantly, retorted, “What crimes have I committed?” f reenovelkiss.com
Without hesitation, Su Bin signaled the Grand Punishment Attendant.
Constables took turns applying various instruments of torture to Ms. Zhang.
Her arrogance crumbled under the weight of the punishment.
Initially, she warned Su Bin loudly, claiming that harming her would be akin to provoking the mountain bandits. She even threatened his entire family with dire consequences if he did not release her promptly.
Unfazed, Su Bin ordered the clerk to meticulously record her statements.
Ms. Zhang’s bravado faltered. Su Bin’s willingness to publicly subject her to torture indicated his fearlessness. She reluctantly conceded, realizing that she would have to acknowledge her collusion with the mountain bandits.
Did this not hand Su Bin a solid case?
Ms. Zhang, unable to endure, confessed, “Please, no more torture. I admit my
guilt… ”
Reluctantly, she signed the confession, revealing her crimes.
Her strategy was clear: confess first to secure her survival and await her brother’s intervention.
No need to alert anyone; her brother would soon be informed.
When the time came, she vowed to personally exact revenge on the constables who had tormented her!
And as for Governor Su, she harbored a fierce determination to make him pay dearly!
Ignoring Ms. Zhang’s venomous glare, Su Bin proceeded to deliver the verdict.
“Wang Nian and his wife, driven by selfish motives, conspired to murder Chen Lin’er’s in-laws, husband, and two children. The evidence is indisputable. Both have confessed and are sentenced to death!”
“In three days, Ms. Zhang will face execution!”
“In her pursuit of justice, Chen Lin’er bravely faced danger. She acted in self-defense, resulting in the demise of Wang Nian. Chen Lin’er is acquitted, and all properties seized by the Wang family have been returned!”
Spontaneous cheers erupted from the crowd.
“The governor is wise!”
