Chapter 1807 - 1807: Rumours
Brother Tao still refused to say anything. He pretended to be confused and tried to turn black into white, but his crime was so clear that even if he wanted to turn the situation around, it was impossible.
He was dragged to the Yamen, where he and the other two thugs were interrogated thoroughly.
And it did not take long for Brother Tao and the rest to confess. From their confession, it was Jiang Zixuan who paid them the money to attack Yu Fei. But the one who sent Jiang Zixuan was none other than Zhou Ziming!
After the three of them confessed, the Yamen officers did not waste any more time and went to catch the two people who were involved in the attack.
When the Yamen officers went to look for Jiang Zixuan, the mer panicked. At first he denied his entanglement, but when he was presented with the evidence, he had no choice but to admit that he indeed did it.
However, he still tried to persist and said that it was not his fault that he was not the one who did such a heinous thing. He pushed the blame on Zhou Ziming and told the Yamen officers that it was him who asked him to pay the thugs.
In exchange Zhou Ziming gave him a couple of silver taels.
“You bastard! Our family will be ruined by you.” When Old Master Cheng heard that Jiang Zixuan had done such a thing, he was filled with rage; he wished he could go ahead and skin the mer alive. How dare he? How dare he do such a thing, and to make things worse, this mer did not even share the silver taels with them!
Where could he take those silver taels? Surely to his sister! He must have given it all to his sister. Shameless bastard!
The more Old Master Cheng thought about it, the more furious he became. He rushed after Jiang Zixuan and hit him with his stick that he used as a cane. He turned to his daughter and said to her, “Divorce! You must divorce him! Our family cannot withstand such a troublemaker. Sooner or later, we will be ruined by him!”
When he thought about how the face of the Cheng family was thrown away because of Jiang Zixuan, Old Master Cheng was heartbroken. Seven generations! For seven generations, nothing like this happened in their family, and because of Jiang Zixuan, all the face that their family had earned was thrown to one side!
In the end, the Yamen officers had to pull Jiang Zixuan away from Old Master Cheng, who was bent on skinning a layer off his skin.
Because of Jiang Zixuan and Brother Tao’s confession, the Yamen officers had to go and look for Zhou Ziming. When Village Head Zhou found that the Yamen officers had come to her house, her legs turned into jelly.
She looked at the Yamen officers as if she were looking at the great lord of the underworld.
And when she found out that the reason these people had come to her house was because of Zhou Ziming, she felt her heart skip several beats.
What did that idiot do now? Village Head Zhou wondered in her heart; at first she thought that the Yamen officers came to her house just because of her son’s entanglement with Xiao Chuxia, who would have thought that they came to her house because Zhou Ziming was suspected of killing someone!
Village head Zhou felt like she was about to get a heart attack.
However, the Yamen officers did not care about her thoughts or actions.
They dragged Zhou Ziming with them to the Yamen.
Once Zhou Ziming and Jiang Zixuan were taken to the Yamen, the entire village exploded!
Though there were a few people who were doubtful and thought that Zhou Ziming was behind this incident, they never thought that the mer was really capable of doing something so sinister!
After all, this case was not simple. Yu Fei was thrown off a cliff, and he was left to suffocate; even if he was lucky to survive, he would have to live like a handicapped person all his life. It was terrible!
Zhou Ziming and Jiang Zixuan were both mers, how could they do such a thing?
Even though it was not proven that it was Zhou Ziming who did such a thing. No one doubted the possibility. After all, who did not know that Zhou Ziming liked Xiao Chuxia and wanted to marry her, but Yu Fei was really stubborn?
He would rather divorce his wife than stay under the roof with a mer concubine. He even explicitly said that even if he were to accept a mer concubine for his wife, he would never let Zhou Ziming walk past his threshold.
Everyone was aware of Zhou Ziming’s personality and knew that there was no way the mer was going to accept it without fighting back.
Who knows, maybe he would have really done something?
Once the rumours started to spread, Brother Tao and his thugs’ entanglement was also dug out. Some believed that it was them who tried to kill Yu Fei, while the others believed that Brother Tao and the rest tried to take advantage of Yu Fei.
And they dumped him once they succeeded, as Yu Fei was too pretty!
The rumours got more and more out of control, and when Xiao Cai found out about these rumours, he was so angry that he fought with several mers on his own.
“You really don’t know when to stop, do you? You all are really too much! My brother-in-law is in this situation already, and yet you are speaking nonsense! Will you only stop when my brother-in-law dies?”
Xiao Cai was really excited, which made a lot of mers embarrassed, but at the same time, many believed that they had not said anything wrong.
In fact, they thought that Xiao Cai’s extreme reaction was due to panic!
