Outside the gates, the crowd of townspeople fell into an instant silence. Their eyes flickered with disbelief, bewilderment, and shock, followed immediately by a towering fury!
Everyone in Xiannan County had been played for fools by Yu Zhang! And the families of the victims were even more enraged—not only had they lost their loved ones, but even the wicked fiends these people had been constantly cursing turned out to be the wrong targets!
Master Chen's face turned somewhat pale, his lips trembling. Suddenly, with a retching sound, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Do not frame me!"
Yu Zhang's expression shifted uncertainly. Gritting his teeth at last, he pointed at the woman and snapped, "You claim you and Huang Xin pledged your lives to one another in secret—what proof do you have? If any random woman can just babble nonsense and frame others, then the Daxia legal code is nothing more than a joke!"
"If you do not want people to know, you must do nothing wrong."
Fang Chen let out a gentle sigh. "Indeed, there is no physical evidence to prove that this woman pledged her life to Huang Xin in secret. Nor is there any evidence to prove that her words are true."
