Chapter 305 - The Complete Reversal (1/2)

It was stipulated in the law of the Mo Country that the ordinary murderer should be imprisoned or more and a servant who murdered the master should be hanged.

Shi Wang was Shi Junfeng’s personal servant. He wasn’t grateful to his master’s kindness but killed him, and he would surely be sentenced to death.

Shi Wang turned pale with fear after he knew that.

Facing the fear of death, Shi Wang suddenly had courage. He raised his head and looked at Mo Junyang, asking in a loud voice, “Your Excellency, don’t you want to know the truth?”

He glanced at Shi Junhe with threat and his meaning was obvious. Anyway he would die. If he insisted that Shi Junhe had ordered him to do that, the first master would never disassociate himself.

However, Mo Junyang laughed, with coldness in his eyes. “I don’t like to be threatened, especially by a servant who killed his master.”

He also swept his eyes over Shi Wang’s family members coldly.

Before Shi Wang understood what Mo Junyang meant, the middle-aged woman realized something from their conversation gradually.

The middle-aged woman wiped her tears and looked at Shi Wang in disbelief, asking with uncertainty, “Shi Wang, have you killed somebody?”

After she asked, both the old woman and boy next to her were shocked.

Shi Wang finally understood Mo Junyang meant that even a ruthless and crafty person didn’t want his closest family members to see his ugly face.

Mo Junyang had saved the lives of Shi Wang’s family members and brought them to him, yet later they saw that he was questioned and even condemned.

He was kind but so merciless.

However, Shi Wang didn’t have so much time to think about these. Facing his mother’s and his wife’s surprised and scared eyes, he blushed and had a headache, anxious to find a hole to hide himself.

The old woman emotionally grabbed Shi Wang’s sleeve and asked while trembling, “I have taught you many times. Our family is poor, yet even poor people should have self-respect, and we can’t do anything evil. Have you forgotten what I told you?”

“No!” Shi Wang replied subconsciously, but looking at the old woman’s face filled with tears, he lowered his head with guilt.

The old woman was Shi Wang’s biological mother and certainly knew what her son’s action meant.

She instantly felt dizzy and staggered backward. Fortunately she was supported by the middle-aged woman, so she didn’t fall on the floor.

However, tears fell along her cheeks, and she wept in silence.

“Mother, are you okay?” It was Shi Wang’s first time to see that his mother shed tears so sadly, so he was in panic.

He wanted to come up and support the old woman, while she pushed him away.

The old woman stated firmly, “I don’t have a son like you. You did something wrong but didn’t admit it. What’s more, you even tried to put the blame on somebody else. I wasted time on raising you for so many years. How can I have the face to see your father after I die…”

The old woman cried again, which made Shi Wang shed tears, too.

Shi Wang knelt on the floor and kowtowed repeatedly, replying in a hurry, “I admit it. I admit my fault. Mother, don’t be sad.”

Afterward, he raised his hand to wipe his tears with his sleeve and then turned around, kowtowing to Mo Junyang.

This time, he didn’t extravagantly hope to use himself as a bargaining chip anymore but turned to Shi Juncai, saying, “I did everything under the third master’s orders.”

“You are lying. Don’t talk nonsense!” Hearing Shi Wang mention him, Shi Juncai shrieked in an instant.

Shi Wang ignored Shi Juncai and continued, “The third master gave me money in advance that you have found in my room, and he told me to work for him. In the beginning, I didn’t agree, yet later he captured my family and forced me to poison the second master and frame the first master after it was found.

“The third master said that he would ensure my family’s safety after I did it. I had no choice but to do as he said in order to keep my family safe.

“The poison was given to me by the third master. On the wedding day of Infanta Baoning, the second master took me to attend the wedding, and the third master secretly found an opportunity to give it to me, so I don’t know what kind of poison it was. He just told me to put some drug in the second master’s drinking water last night.

I thought that the third master merely wanted to get back at the second master and make him uncomfortable as they fell out. I didn’t know that the third master wanted to take the second master’s life. Till the second master’s dead body was found this morning, I knew that…”

“You’re slinging mud at me!” Shi Juncai shouted in a sharp voice. It seemed that if he spoke more loudly than Shi Wang, what he had done would be inexistent.

Shi Wang didn’t jump up in a hurry to retort like he did to Shi Junhe. After he told everything, he knelt on the floor quietly again and waited for punishment.

Mo Junyang was satisfied with Shi Wang’s attitude as he resigned himself to destiny. After the servant told everything, Mo Junyang didn’t make things difficult for him but told Wei Zichao to take Shi Wang’s family members away.

Shi Wang glanced at Mo Junyang with gratitude and didn’t say more but answered every question when Shi Junhe asked about the details.

This time, what he said wasn’t full of holes like that when he framed Shi Junhe.

His answer was logical with sufficient reasons and hard to fault. He told everything that Shi Juncai had ordered him to do.

Shi Juncai heard that and turned ghastly pale, shouting feebly, “No, I didn’t. It’s not me…

“Shi Wang killed Junfeng. How can you believe his words? Right, he must be lying. He wronged Junhe, and he knew that he couldn’t make it plausible, so he wronged me. It must be like this…”

At the moment, Shi Juncai had totally forgotten how he affirmed devoutly that what Shi Wang said was the truth, and he made unfounded countercharges against this servant.

Mo Junyang let Shi Juncai justify himself. After Shi Juncai finished his words, Mo Junyang turned to Wei Ziye at the gate. “Bring the rest of people.”
