Chapter 1173: Chapter 1169: My Wife, Are You Satisfied?
Wang Jingzhi looked at Chu Yihan in surprise, and when Chu Yihan cleared his throat, he said, “To raise a hand in My presence warrants punishment!”
Wang Jingzhi was no longer so surprised. He thought Chu Yihan was wise and powerful, nodding continuously, “The emperor is just! Wang Ao has truly gone too far! Someone, hold him down for this official!”
To prevent Wang Ao from causing more trouble, Wang Jingzhi ordered two constables to hold Wang Ao down, making him kneel beside Wang Yun.
Chu Yihan glanced at Su Yingxue, signaling her not to be impulsive at this moment. He wanted to first clarify the Wang Family’s affair; dealing with the upcoming cases was more important!
He ordered Wang Jingzhi, “Bring the doctor and the female servant to examine Wang Yun’s injuries. If the scars on her body are real, then Wang Ao is guilty of knowingly breaking the law.”
Wang Jingzhi immediately sent people to do this, and after Wang Yun was examined, the female servant knelt before Chu Yihan to report, “To report to the emperor, Wang Yun indeed has multiple bruises from beatings and traces of having been tied up, confirming that her words are true. She has indeed suffered from binding and abuse.”
Wang Yun’s eyes were red with anger as she pointed at Wang Ao, “Emperor, he did all this! He wouldn’t let me file a complaint, nor would he let me open Daddy’s coffin. I suspect he… he is also involved in Daddy’s death!”
Even, he might have colluded with the murderer Xiao Hui behind the scenes!
Wang Ao, pressed to the ground, glared bitterly at her with his thick eyebrows, “Wang Yun, you sheltered girl, what do you know! Don’t talk nonsense! I am Father’s son; how could I possibly harm my own father!”
“How is it not possible!” Wang Yun grit her teeth in anger. He didn’t even spare his own sister, so it’s likely that Daddy was killed by him and Xiao Hui!
It was him who wanted to seize all of Father’s property!
“Whether Wang Ao is related to this case or not is still under investigation, but his obstruction and abuse of the case’s witness violate the laws of the Great Cheng Dynasty and must be punished according to law,” Chu Yihan judged fairly and immediately had Wang Jingzhi punish Wang Ao.
He returned to his seat and gave Su Yingxue a look, as if asking her, “Are you satisfied now?”
Su Yingxue shook her head, making a lip shape he could understand, “The emperor is wise!”
After speaking, she gave Chu Yihan a smile and winked, playful as a peach blossom bursting into bloom in early spring, lively on the branch.
Wang Jingzhi had a long bench brought in and hoisted Wang Ao onto it. Wang Ao was trembling all over, “No… Don’t beat me! Emperor, I was just disciplining her as a sister, I had no intention of hindering your investigation! Emperor, I am wronged! I am wronged!”
Chu Yihan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he did not hear Wang Ao’s howling plea, until the constable delivered several forceful blows with the plank.
“Ah——!!!”
Wang Ao’s voice was extremely miserable, piercing through the hall, heard throughout the entire Wang Family estate, and all the servants especially loyal to Wang Ao trembled with fear, worrying that a single wrong breath might lead them to share Wang Ao’s fate.
Madam Meng also hurried over, holding in her hand a portrait that she had just had drawn.
The maid who had sneaked into the mansion could no longer be found, but someone had seen her face and sketched it, and another was tracking her.
Her mind was originally clear and she intended to tell Wang Yun this, but seeing Wang Ao bound to the bench and howling, her heart was suspended in fear, “What… Yun Er! What happened here! Why is your brother being beaten?”
Wiping away tears, Wang Yun’s gaze was defiant, “He deserves it! For hindering the emperor’s investigation and preventing me from being a witness in the case, the emperor is punishing him! And rightly so!”
